(B) Whenever a person or entity applies for a building or construction permit for construction that will necessitate the provision of a fire lane according to the terms of this chapter, such person or entity shall include in all plans and specifications submitted to the City Council the location and dimensions of all proposed fire lanes required by this chapter.
(C) City Council approval of any proposed fire lane required by this chapter shall be based on the adequacy of access to structures on the subject property provided by the proposed fire lane.

(D) All required fire lanes shall be delineated by a red stripe on the pavement marking the outside boundary from the curb of the fire lane. In addition, signs shall be conspicuously placed along the curb nearest the fire lane indicating the existence of the fire lane, and indicating that parking therein is prohibited.
