sossscT ORDINANCE DELETING SECTION 45051c) OF THE BUILDING CODE REMOVING THE
LIMITATION OF 25 FEET MAXIMUM LENGTH FOR MARQUEES
RECOMMENDATION.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt that attached ordinance amending the Fort Worth
Building Code to delete Section 4505(c) which would remove a limitation of a maximum length
of 25' for marquees measured along the direction of the street
DISCUSSION
The attached ordinance deletes Section 4505(c) of the City's Building Code which currently limits
the length of marquees to 25 feet The limitation is to provide breaks in marquees to allow Fire
Department ladder access to upper floors In discussion with the Construction and Fire
Prevention Board of Appeals, the Fire Department states that they have adequate rescue
equipment to work over these marquees from the street and the provision is unnecessary.
