AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM REPEALING EXISTING CHAPTER 6.05
PERTAINING TO PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO SYSTEM
COVERAGE, REPEALING CHAPTER 15.03 AND ADDING
NEW CHAPTER 15.03 TO TITLE 15 OF THE ANAHEIM
MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO THE CALIFORNIA
BUILDING STANDARDS CODES, AND REPEALING
EXISTING CHAPTER 16.08 AND ADDING NEW CHAPTER
16.08 TO TITLE 16 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE
PERTAINING TO THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE.
WHEREAS, every three years the California Building Standards Commission compiles
and publishes the adoptions, amendments and repeal of administrative regulations to Title 24 of
the California Code of Regulations, also referred to as the "California Building Standards Code";
and
WHEREAS, the California Building Standards Commission has promulgated the 2013
editions of the California Building Code, the California Residential Code, the California
Plumbing Code, the California Mechanical Code, the California Electrical Code, the California
Green Building Standards Code, the California Energy Code, the California Existing Building
Code, the California Green Building Standards Code and the California Fire Code (hereinafter
referred to collectively as "Codes"); and
WHEREAS, local agencies are mandated to impose essentially the same requirements as
are contained in the Codes; and
WHEREAS, the Codes are designed to be adopted by reference by local agencies as
enforceable regulations with such modifications or changes as local agencies find and determine
are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographic conditions; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that the City
Council, before making any modifications or changes to the Codes, shall make an express
finding that such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic,
geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Building Official and Fire Chief have recommended that the Codes be
adopted by reference with such changes and modifications thereto as are set forth in this
Ordinance, which are reasonably necessary due to the following local conditions in the City of
Anaheim:
A. Climatic Conditions
1. Hot, dry Santa Ana winds are common to all areas within the City of Anaheim. These
winds, which can cause small fires which spread quickly, are a contributing factor to the
high fire danger in the area, and create the need for an increased level of fire protection.
This added protection will supplement normal fire department response available and
provide immediate protection for life and safety of multiple occupancy occupants during
fire occurrences.
2. Orange County and the City of Anaheim are located in a semi -arid Mediterranean type
climate which predisposes all fuels, including wood shingles to rapid ignition and spread
of fire. Therefore, there exists a need for additional fire protection measures.
3. The warm, dry climate is conducive to swimming pools which creates a higher
probability of child drowning where pools are unprotected.
B. Geological Conditions
1. The City of Anaheim and the greater Los Angeles region is a densely populated area
having buildings and structures constructed over and near a vast array of fault systems
capable of producing major earthquakes, including but not limited to the recent 1994
Northridge Earthquake. The proposed modification emphasize that the design concern is
for seismic -force -resisting elements and therefore need to be incorporated into the code to
assure that new buildings and structures and additions or alterations to existing buildings
or structures are designed and constructed in accordance with the scope and objectives of
the International Building Code. Experts predict a major earthquake in our area within
the next 50 years. This situation creates the need for both additional fire protection
measures and automatic on-site fire protection of building occupants since a multitude of
fires may result from breakage of gas and electric lines as a result of an earthquake.
2. Traffic and circulation congestion presently existing in the City of Anaheim often
places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk. This condition will be
exacerbated by any major disaster, including any earthquake wherein damage to the
highway system will occur. This condition makes the need for additional on-site
protection for property occupants necessary.
3. Placement of multiple occupancy buildings, location of arterial roads, and fire
department staffing constraints due to recent revenue -limiting state legislation have made
it difficult for the fire department to locate additional fire stations and provide manpower
sufficient to concentrate fire companies and personnel to control fires in high density
apartment or condominium buildings. These conditions create the need for built-in onsite
fire protection systems to protect occupants and property until fire -fighting apparatus and
personnel arrive on the scene.
The City of Anaheim is located in an area subject to a climatic condition of high winds
and low humidity. This combination of events creates an environment which is conducive
to rapidly spreading fres. Control of such fires requires rapid response. Obstacles
generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, street lights and utility poles will greatly
impact the response time to reach an incident scene.
2
The City of Anaheim is located in the middle of a seismically active area. The viability of
the public water system would be questionable at best after a major seismic event. This
would leave very large buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires due to a lack of
available water and an inability to pump sufficient quantities of any available water to
fight a fire. A severe seismic event has the potential to negatively impact any rescue or
fire suppression activities because it is likely to create obstacles similar to those indicated
under the high wind section above. With the probability of strong aftershocks, there
exists a need to provide increased protection for safety against structure fires.
4. Untreated wood roofs cause or contribute to serious fire hazard and to the rapid spread
of fires when such fires are accompanied by high winds. Pieces of burning wooden roofs
become flying brands and are carried by the wind to other locations and thereby spread
fire quickly.
C. Topographic Conditions
1. The City of Anaheim is in an area with a high percentage of structures on hillsides.
Access for fire or rescue response and staging for firefighting are made difficult due to
the terrain.
Amendments to the 2013 Editions of the California Codes are found reasonably necessary based
on the climatic, geological and topographic conditions cited above and are listed as follows:

provisions of the Building Standards Codes, or evidence that a material or method does
not conform to the requirements of the Building Standards Codes, or in order to
substantiate claims for alternative materials or methods, the Building Official shall have
the authority to require tests as evidence of compliance to be made at no expense to the
City of Anaheim. Test methods shall be as specified in the Building Standards Codes or
by other recognized test standards. In the absence of recognized and accepted test
methods, the Building Official shall approve the testing procedures. Tests shall be
performed by an approved agency. Reports of such tests shall be retained by the Building
Official for the period required for retention of public records.
.040 Permits.
.0401 Required. Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge,
alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure, grading on
private property, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any
electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by the
Building Standards Codes, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make application to
the Building Official and obtain the required permit.
Work performed without permit constitutes a violation and is subject to
subsection .12 (Violations and Penalties) of this Section 15.03.020. Upon determination by the
Building Official, work performed without permit may constitute an unsafe structure or building.
Incidental structures or improvements of a minor nature may be exempt from the
city permit process upon the determination of the Building Official. In place of permits and
inspections the Building Official may utilize alternate means, such as certifications, imaging or
programs to track and verify compliance.
.01 Time based permit. In lieu of an individual permit for each alteration to an
already approved electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing installation, the Building
Official is authorized to issue a permit, valid for a specific time period not exceeding one
year, upon application therefore to any person, firm or corporation regularly employing
one or more qualified trade persons in the building, structure or on the premises owned or
operated by the applicant for the permit.
12
.02 The Building Official may detail the scope, parameters and conditions of this
permit. The permit may be revoked when it is determined by the Building Official that
the outlined scope, parameters, conditions or intent of the Building Standards Codes is
not upheld by the permittee. The Building Official shall have access to such records at all
times and such records shall be filed with the Building Official as designated.
.0402 Work exempt from permit. Exemptions from permit requirements of the
