Piles of mulch can indeed pose a fire hazard. When mulch breaks down, it generates heat, and in large bulk piles, this heat concentration can lead to spontaneous combustion. These fires typically start deep inside the pile. Factors such as dry conditions, warm temperatures, and high winds increase the risk of mulch fires.
The SF-13 Single-Family Residential District is intended primarily for suburban style single-family dwellings and related recreational and educational facilities normally required to provide an orderly and attractive residential area. Civic institutions may be appropriate if compatible in size and operation with the surrounding residential area. This district is intended to be defined and protected from the encroachment of uses that are not appropriate to a residential environment. Internal stability, attractiveness, order, and efficiency are encouraged by providing for adequate light, air, and open space for dwellings and related facilities and through consideration of the proper functional relationship of the different uses.
