RES-2007-232RESOLUTION NO. 2007 -232
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
SETTING FORTH LOCAL CONDITIONS JUSTIFYING AMENDMENTS TO
THE 2007 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE INCORPORATING
BY REFERENCE THE 2006 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE WITH
CALIFORNIA AMENDMENTS AS CODIFIED IN THE CALIFORNIA
BUILDING STANDARDS CODE, PART 9, TITLE 24 OF THE CALIFORNIA
CODE OF REGULATIONS.
WHEREAS Section 17958.5of the Health and Safety Code permits the City to make
changes or modifications to the 2007 California Fire Code, incorporating by reference the 2006
International Fire Code with California amendments, as codified within the California Building
Standards Code, Part 9, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, (hereinafter "2007
California Fire Code as such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of
local climatic, geographical or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS Section 13143.5of the Health and Safety Code permits a city, by ordinance,
to make changes or modifications to the 2007 California Fire Code that are more stringent than
the requirements published in the California Building Standards Code, Part 9, Title 24, of the
California Code of Regulations, relating to fire and panic safety; and
WHEREAS the City Council finds the approval of the subject amendments is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Regulation No. 15061(b)(3),
incorporated herein by this reference, which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which
have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and
WHEREAS Sections 13143.5 and 17958.7 of the Health and Safety Code require the
City, prior to adopting the ordinance, to make express findings that the adopted standards are
reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS the Fire Chief of the City of Anaheim has recommended that the 2007
California Fire Code be adopted by the City with certain changes or modifications memorialized
in Chapter 16.08 which are necessary to meet local climatic, geographical or topographical
conditions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the modifications and changes
recommended to the 2007 California Fire Code are reasonably necessary due to the following
conditions:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds the following local climatic, geographical and/or
topographical conditions in the City of Anaheim justifying changes in the City's adoption of the
2007 California Code, as amended, and corresponding changes or modifications that are more
stringent than the requirements published in the California Building Standards Code relating to
fire and panic safety.
1
A. The entire City of Anaheim is located in an area which is subject to periodic wind
conditions of extremely high velocity; the City is also subject to seasonal high temperatures and
dry atmospheric conditions which often occur during times of those high velocity winds.
B. These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to rapid spread of fires originating in
high- density housing. These conditions create a need for increased levels of fire protection.
C. Traffic and circulation congestion is common throughout the City of Anaheim. This
congestion often places at risk the fire department response time to fire occurrences, and makes it
necessary to provide additional -fire protection systems to limit the exposure to death injury and
property loss caused by fire, prior to the arrival of the fire department.
D. The City of Anaheim is located in an area of substantial seismic activity. The Whittier/
Elsinore fault traverses the northeast section of the City; and the San Andreas fault is also
expected to have a major impact on the City of Anaheim and poses a threat to life and property.
It is believed these faults are capable of generating up to an 8.3 magnitude earthquake. Major
earthquakes are accompanied by congested traffic flow and fires. During a major earthquake, fire
department resources would be extremely taxed and the ability to respond to fires would be
complicated and in some cases impossible.
E. The climatic conditions described above are further accentuated by the topographical
features of the hill and canyon area on the easterly portion of the city, south of the Riverside
(SR- 91) Freeway and east of the Costa Mesa (SR -55) Freeway portions of which have been
designated either as a "special protection area" or very high fire hazard severity zone. The
"special protection area" and very high fire hazard severity zone are especially susceptible to
fires which may spread quickly from one structure to another due to lack of shrub/brush
clearance requirements, and other fire protection requirements needed to provide reasonable
levels of fire safety. In the special protection area and very high fire hazard area zone, these
conditions are further accentuated by steep canyons and draws, very steep road grades and dense
vegetation which impede responding personnel and equipment. In order to provide reasonable
levels of fire safety in the special protection area and very high fire hazard severity zone, more
restrictive fire suppression and control safeguards are necessary.
SECTION 2. The City Council further finds that to the extent that the modifications to
the 2007 California Fire Code set forth in Chapter 16.08 of the Anaheim Municipal Code and the
corresponding changes to the California Building Standards Code make changes or
modifications that are more stringent than the requirements published in the California Fire Code
and the California Building Standards Code relating to fire and panic safety, such modifications
are required due to local climatic, geological and topographical conditions within the City of
Anaheim, as set forth in attached Exhibit "A," titled "Building Standards Code Findings Matrix
which exhibit is incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 3. In order to correct existing conditions and prevent future conditions that
are detrimental to the public health and safety and may result in serious injury, it is reasonably
2
necessary for the City of Anaheim to require the provisions of the 2007 California Fire Code as
amended and adopted.
SECTION 4. Of all means reasonably known to the City which could feasibly correct or
avoid the injurious or detrimental condition, applying the requirements of the California Fire
Code, 2007 Edition, with local amendments, to all areas of the City of Anaheim including those
areas governed by development agreements, is the most reasonable means to protect the health,
safety and welfare of the public. Failure to apply these provisions to all areas of the City of
Anaheim, including those governed by development agreements, would result in conditions
injurious or detrimental to the public health and safety. The application of these provisions is
reasonably necessary to correct or avoid injuries or detrimental conditions. Consequently, the
provisions of the California Fire Code, 2007 Edition, with amendments shall apply to all
property located within the City of Anaheim, notwithstanding that such property may be the
subject of development agreements which became effective prior to the date of adoption of the
California Fire Code, 2007 Edition, with local amendments, and which contain any provision to
the contrary.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution together with the
Ordinance adopting the amendments to the 2001 California Fire Code be filed with the State
Department of Housing and Community Development and with the California Building
Standards Commission
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the
City Council of the City of Anaheim this _day of 2007.

Summary
1.
15.02.000
Administrative Code
New
Entire Administrative Chapter added since it was deleted from
IBC.
An Administrative Chapter was not included in the body of the model
code. This amendment establishes clear procedures to enforce the
Building Code. Most of the provisions were previously adopted in the
prior building code.
2.
15.02.040.020
Administrative Code
Existing
Permit requirement for pool depth changed to 18 inches.
This is an existing amendment addressing pool fencing to keep
unsupervised children from entering swimming pools. There are two
locations in the code that deal with swimming pools: The pool fence
requirement that is triggered when pool water exceeds 18" and the
building permit requirement that is triggered when pool water exceeds
24 The pool protection fence requirement has always been applicable
to pools with water deeper greater than 18 However, we want to
change the pool permit threshold requirement from 24" to 18" in order
to be consistent with the 18" threshold that triggers the pool protection
fence requirement. If we don't change the permit threshold for pools
from 24" to 18" our inspectors will not be able to enforce the pool
protection fence requirement for people building pools with water depth
between 18" to 24 This amendment is necessary for consistency.

Requires Class A roofing in High Fire Hazard /Special Protection
Zones.
This amendment is in response to a grand jury report, which
recommends class A roofing in high fire hazard zones. Class A is the
most fire retardant material available for this special area defined as all
areas of the City of Anaheim east of the Costa Mesa Freeway (SR -55)
and south of the Riverside Freeway (SR -91). This is an existing
provision in the Anaheim Building Code.

New
Minimum Distance for Building Separation
The new code does not provide requirements for separation distances
between adjacent buildings to allow for independent building
displacement due to earthquake ground motions. This amendment
specifies the minimum separation distance between adjoining buildings
which are not structurally connected. This is a new amendment for
Anaheim.

New
Modifies calculation for suspended ceilings
The new code lacked clear engineering guidelines for suspended
ceilings. The Office of Statewide Health and Planning and
Development recognized the void and adopted provisions for state
buildings. We have recommended the same provisions for locally
regulated buildings in Anaheim. This is a new amendment for
Anaheim.
