Setback Notes

There must be no fewer than two pathways on separate roof planes, not less than 36 inches wide, and extended from the lowest roof edge to the ridge. At least one pathway must be on the street or driveway side. Where more than one roof plane is present, additional 36-inch pathways need to be provided. Other considerations to be aware of are obstructions such as vent pipes and conduit and mechanical equipment, as well as the capability of the roof to support firefighter accessing the roof. Setbacks at the ridge for photovoltaic arrays covering not more than 33% of the plan view total roof area must have at least 18 inches setback on both sides of the ridge. When areas are covered by more than 33% the setback must be 36 inches setback on both sides of the ridge. When an automatic fire sprinkler system is installed in accordance with NFPA 13D or Section P2904 the total coverage goes from 33% to 66% and the same setbacks would be applied.
