The Chief of the Fire Department or designee is authorized to establish fire lanes on either public or private property within the City upon finding that the following conditions exist.
(a) That a fire lane is necessary for safeguarding life and property from the hazards of fire and explosion and for the use and occupancy of buildings, structures and adjacent property or;
(b) That the fire lane is incidental to any zoned district or other use where it can reasonably be expected that the public will assemble in sufficient numbers so that the presence of the public and their motor vehicles, if not controlled, will interfere with the operation of firefighting equipment and personnel and the egress of occupants in case of fire.
(c) That a fire lane is necessary for the safe ingress and egress of fire fighting apparatus.
