The Community stakeholder groups should systematically proceed through the <br />Checklist checklist below as part of their decision making process. Also, your commu- <br />IV] nity may wish to add to this checklist. The format of the checklist includes <br />room for comments: encourage stakeholders to make notes regarding their <br />concerns and record decisions about how the items in the checklist have been <br />addressed. <br />The factors are interrelated and are best considered together. The items are <br />grouped by category in a logical order, but are not weighted. <br />U <br />Community Process/Decision-Making <br />F-I Good City Department Working Relations <br />Develop good, close working relationships between the fire/ <br />emergency response professionals, public works, building <br />officials, land use and transportation planners, engineers, and <br />other large vehicle operators. The goal is to achieve trusting <br />working relationships that lead to effective accommodation of <br />each other's needs related to agreements about neighborhood <br />street standards. <br />Consistency of Ordinances <br />Review all applicable codes and ordinances and make them <br />consistent with the narrow neighborhood street standards you <br />are adopting. Consider performance-based codes and ordi- <br />nances to address the larger development issues, of which <br />street design is just one part. Amend ordinances only when you <br />have the concurrence of emergency and large service vehicle <br />providers. <br />y w neighborhood streets by code and <br />ordinance'rather than requiring a special process, such as a <br />variance or planned unit development. Or consider a modification <br />process similar to the City of Beaverton's that uses a multi- <br />disciplinary committee review and approval process during the <br />development review process.

Teamwork and involvement <br />of all large vehicle service providers is a critical component for <br />success. Consider the potential benefits of narrow streets, such <br />as slower traffic, less stormwater runoff, and lower costs. Look <br />for ways to minimize the risk that fire apparatus will not be able <br />to quickly access an emergency and minimize possible inconve- <br />nience for other large vehicles.
