6414ORDINANCE NO. 6 414
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM 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 2016
edition of the California Fire Code (hereinafter referred to as "Code"); and
WHEREAS, local agencies are mandated to impose essentially the same requirements as
are contained in the Code; and
WHEREAS, the Code is 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 Code, shall make an express finding
that such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological
or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Fire Chief has recommended that the Code 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 & rescue 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 modifications 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 & rescue 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 & rescue
department staffing constraints due to recent revenue -limiting state legislation have made
it difficult for the fire & rescue 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 fires. 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.
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.
0a
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 2016 Edition of the California Fire Code are found reasonably necessary based
on the climatic, geological and topographic conditions cited above and are listed as follows:
