The review authority may grant deviations from required setbacks
where the review authority finds, based on substantial evidence, that
the combination of height and setbacks or similar standards for a
code compliant development triggers requirements for life safety access
methods that would conflict with city plans or policies that have
been adopted by the City Council. The deviation shall be to the minimum
extent necessary to avoid the conflict with city plans or policies.
By way of example only, when the combination of height and setbacks
triggers the need for installation of a new fire lane or the removal
of mature trees to provide fire department access to the development,
the applicable setback may be reduced by the review authority to the
minimum extent necessary to site the building closer to the street
for the fire department to safely access the building without having
to create a new fire lane or require removal of the mature trees.
