BACKGROUND The California Code of Regulations, Title 24, also referred to as the California Building Standards Code mandates that the Chief of the City Fire Department enforce the California Code of Regulations relating to fire and panic (emergency exiting) safety. The 2001 California Fire Code is compatible with this standard and incorporates by adoption the 2000 Edition of the Uniform Fire Code of the Western Fire Chiefs Association, with necessary California amendments. State Fire regulations are updated every three years. The adoption of 2001 California Fire Code is an integral part of the Fire Department Fire Prevention Program. Adoption of this ordinance brings the City's Municipal Codes up to date with state law. Adoption of this code is necessary to be compatible with local building codes. The effective date of this code has been set by the Building Standards Commission for November 1, 2002. According to the California Health and Safety Code, a city may establish more restrictive building standards reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. For these conditions, cities and fire districts may amend the California Fire Code, with more restrictive requirements than the California Building Standards Code (Title 24). These amendments and findings are included in the attached ordinance and after City Council approval, will be filed with the California Building Standards Commission. In the attached Ordinance, there have been minor changes, as indicated in italics and underlined, to clarify language in certain code sections. The following sections are new amendments to the San Bernardino Municipal Code: 15.16.086- Citations.

Requires street addresses to be a certain dimension 1 depending on the size of the building. 15.16.181- Firewatch. Provides specific information related to requirements for Firewatch. 15.16.241- Compressed Natural Gas Motor Vehicle Fuel-Dispensing Stations. Requires additional fire protection features for facilities utilizing unodorized compressed natural gas. 15.16.246- Storage of Explosives and Blasting Agents.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AMENDING CHAPTER 15.16 OF THE SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING THE 2001 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, WITH APPENDICES, AND INCORPORATING BY REFERENCE THE 2000 EDITION OF THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE VOLUME 1 WITH ERRATA OF THE WESTERN FIRE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION, AND WITH NECESSARY CALIFORNIA AMENDMENTS, TOGETHER WITH CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24, AND THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE VOLUME 2 STANDARDS 1997 EDITION AS AMENDED BY THE 2000 UNIFORM FIRE CODE STANDARDS. THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section I. Findings. The Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino do hereby find and declare pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958,17958.5, and 17958.7 the following: a. Adverse climatic conditions increase the likelihood of fire. Minor fires can rapidly spread to large ones due to extreme heat, frequent periods of drought, low humidity, and yearly winds (Santa Ana), which have been recorded to reach gusts in excess of 90 miles per hour. . b. Existing structures with wood shingles and shakes may contribute to the rapid spread of fire to adjacent structures. Although wood shingles and shakes are no longer approved for new construction in the City, there are many existing structures with this type of roofing material. c. There is an increased danger of fire because of natural vegetation including grass, chaparral, manzanita, and chamois. Another factor that increases the risk of fire danger to the City is elevation changes from gradual, to in excess of 30%, which include areas within the wildland interface area. Increased development has created additional vehicular traffic on surface streets, freeways bisect the City at the north end and west end, and a freeway borders the City of the south end. Flood Control channels, railways, natural streams and the Santa Ana river also impede responses within the City limits. The rapid increase in single family dwellings and industrial buildings has created many new streets, creating some dead-end streets, additional traffic signals have been -1- , (c-. 2{ 9/1.--3/ {> . -: Ie 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 C 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 C 28 installed, all of which increase the response time of fIre apparatus, thereby creating a greater risk of life and property from fIre. d. There are portions of the City in the Hazardous Fire Area, where water supply is very limited. Private tanks located on the homeowner's property often provide the only available water supply for flIefIghting purposes. Public fIre hydrants, with appropriate fIre-flow, are located several thousand feet from these structures. e. The City has within its boundary potentially active seismic hazards. Seismic activity occurs within the City and a flIe potential exists with these active faults. Existing structures and planned new developments are at serious risk from these faults. f. Due to these local climatic, geological and topographical conditions, there is an express need for changes and modifIcations in the 2001 Edition of the California Fire Code. Section 2. San Bernardino Municipal Code, Chapter 15.16 is amended to read as follows: 15.16.010 Citation.

THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section l. Findings. The Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino do hereby find and declare pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, and 17958.7 the following: a. Adverse climatic conditions increase the likelihood of fire. Minor fires can rapidly spread to large ones due to extreme heat, frequent periods of drought, low humidity, and yearly winds (Santa Ana), which have been recorded to reach gusts in excess of 90 miles per hour. b. Existing structures with wood shingles and shakes may contribute to the rapid spread of fire to adjacent structures. Although wood shingles and shakes are no longer approved for new construction in the City, there are many existing structures with this type of roofing material. c. There is an increased danger of fire because of natural vegetation including grass, chaparral, manzanita, and chamois. Another factor that increases the risk of fue danger to the City is elevation changes from gradual, to in excess of 30%, which include areas within the wildland interface area. Increased development has created additional vehicular traffic on surface streets, freeways bisect the City at the north end and west end, and a freeway borders the City of the south end. Flood Control channels, railways, natural streams and the Santa Ana river also impede responses within the City limits. The rapid increase in single family dwellings and industrial buildings has created many new streets, creating some dead-end streets, additional traffic signals have been -1- C 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 C14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 C28 installed, all of which increase the response time of frre apparatus, thereby creating a greater risk of life and property from frre. d. There are portions of the City in the Hazardous Fire Area, where water supply is very limited. Private tanks located on the homeowner's property often provide the only available water supply for fIfefrghting purposes. Public fife hydrants, with appropriate frre-flow, are located several thousand feet from these structures. e. The City has within its boundary potentially active seismic hazards. Seismic activity occurs within the City and a fife potential exists with these active faults. Existing structures and planned new developments are at serious risk from these faults. f. Due to these local climatic, geological and topographical conditions, there is an express need for changes and modifrcations in the +99& 2001 Edition of the California Fire Code. Section 2. San Bernardino Municipal Code, Chapter 15.16 is amended to read as follows: 15.16.010 Citation.
