AGENDA TITLE: Conduct Public Hearing to consider adopting the 2001 California Building,
Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical and Fire Codes.
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2002
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council conduct a Public Hearing to adopt the
following California Codes as approved by the State of
California:
1) California Building Code — 2001
2) California Plumbing Code - 2001
3) California Mechanical Code - 2001
4) California Electrical Code — 2001
5) California Fire Code - 2001
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Uniform Codes for construction are published every three years.
The State of California adopts these Codes by reference and
requires Cities and Counties to adopt the same within six months.
This process assures uniformity between jurisdictions throughout
the State.
The Uniform Codes are dedicated to the development of minimum standards, which protect property and
human life. The Uniform Building Code guarantees to the purchaser of a property that the structure is
constructed adequately to resist earthquake, wind, rain and fire, and will maintain its property value if
properly maintained. The Uniform Plumbing, Mechanical and National Electrical Codes provide for
sanitation, comfort, convenience and life safety in their respective fields. The Fire Code provides for the
safeguarding of life and property from hazards of fire and hazardous materials.
The Building Division is also charged with the enforcement of the State disabled access and energy
regulations.
Changes to the Codes are processed each year and published every three years in a form permitting ready
adoption by local communities. Anyone may propose changes to the codes. These changes are carefully
reviewed by code committees and are to become part of the code. These meetings allow the free
exchange of views leading to changes, which are responsive to the concerns of the construction industry,
design professionals and building officials. State agencies have also made amendments to the Uniform
Codes which are incorporated and published as the California Codes.

c'4��F aa�P FIRE DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
City Manager
FROM: Verne Person, Fire Marshal (BUJ
DATE: October 28, 2002
SUBJECT: INFORMATION PACKET - UNIFORM FIRE CODE ADOPTION
The adoption of the California Fire Code is scheduled for November 6, 2002. Contained within
this document are my recommendations for adoption and amendments to the California Fire
Code, 2001 Edition.
I have color coded the sections to provide for an easier review of the material. The color coding
is as follows:
Previous Ordinance Reflecting Recommended Changes ................. Blue
Recommended Ordinance................................................................. Pink
Summary of Ordinances and Changes .............................................. Buff
Uniform Code Fire Sprinkler Requirements ..................................... Green
The California Fire Code and California Building Code have had minor modifications in the
2001 Editions. The impending change in codes to either the International Code Council or
National Fire Protection Association in the next code cycle has left this years fire code relatively
untouched. The only significant changes were within the State of California to require
apartments to be fire sprinklered in structures with 5 or more units or hotels with 6 or more guest
rooms. Also the State legislature passed a fire sprinkler law, which requires new schools to be
fully fire sprinklered.
For approximately 15 years, the fire service has been creating local amendments to the fire code
with regards to fire sprinklers. The focus of the code has been to alert occupants through the
installation of fire alarm systems. During that period of time, the California Building Code and
the California Fire Code has continued to increase the number of occupancies requiring fire
sprinkler systems for fire safety as well as property conservation. Thus it is my recommendation
to continue utilizing a fire sprinkler ordinance based on square footage in addition to the
requirements of the California Fire Code. In comparison to surrounding municipal cities,
the City of Lodi has a generous square foot sprinkler requirement and allows area separation
exceptions.
The additions submitted for addition to local adoptions are as follows:
Allow contract hiring of special inspectors when the fire department does not have the
technical expertise in an operation
Require fire control rooms in fire sprinklered buildings
• Require fire alarm systems to be installed by a certified installer
• Allows the Fire Chief to order outdoor fires discontinued under hazardous or offensive
conditions
• Requires storage guidelines and permits for pallets, pallet boxes and bin boxes in sizable
amounts
The deletions submitted for removed from local adoption are as follows:
• Above ground flammable storage requirements
• Fire extinguisher servicing and criteria
• Elimination of Section 1104 from local code — Minimum State requirement
• Exception in sprinklered building to allow area separation in buildings over 6000 square
feet to have non penetrated opening. The building code defines area separations and list
rated appliances for penetrations through walls
Other minor changes from the previous local ordinances are recommended and are clearly
identified within the blue pages and summarized on the pink pages.

15.20.300350 Section 7801.3.1.1
amended -Manufacturing of fireworks
Section 7801.3.1.1 of the California Fire Code, 4995-2001 Edition adopted
by Section 15.20.010 is amended to read as follows:
The manufacture of fireworks within the limits of the City of Lodi is
prohibited.

15.20.318360 Section 7902.2.2.2.1
Location of aboveground tanks are prohibited.
The limits referred to in Section 7902.2.2.2.1 of the California Fire Code
�5-2001 Edition adopted by Section 15.20.010 in which the storage of Class I
and class II liquids in aboveground tanks outside of buildings is prohibited in the
entire city except areas zoned C -M, M-1 and M-2 as such zones are defined in the
zoning regulations of the city.
15.20.370 Chances or Modifications
In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, the adoption
of amendments more restrictive than the requirements contained in the provisions
published in the California Building standard Code, are needed because of local
conditions, as specified below:
(A) Climatic
1) Conditions
Precipitation averages 18 inches per vear, and can reach as high as
35 inches per year. Virtually all of the rain occurs during the
months of October through April. The remaining months receive
little or no rain. Temperatures during the summer months can
reach as high as 110 and City of Lodi averages 19 days over 100
each year. Relative humidity during these summer months is very
low. Lodi averages 34 days of dense fog per year, and has had as
many as 64 foggy days.
(2) Impacts
The generally dry. hot summer months create extreme fire
conditions. Adding to this situation is the dryness and
combustibility of many structures during the summer, especially
true of structures with wood siding and roofs constructed of wood
shakes and shingles. The cyclical uncertainty that allow weather
events can cause ragid melting of the snow pack which causes
flood potential in areas surrounding the Mokelumne River. The
foggy conditions can inhibit the dispatch and timeliness of
emergency equipment reaching the site of a fire. During foggy
periods it is common place for visibility to be near zero, which
results in emerg_encyquipment having to decrease their speed to
less than 25 miles per hour.
17
_............. ...... _.. - -. i- .. . .-..__..... ---.._............... ....... _...__..
(B) Geographic
(1) Conditions
The City of Lodi is subject to ground tremors from seismic events
as the County is in seismic Zone 3. The Mokelumne River, which
borders the northern city limits, is subjected to flood potential and
its levies are subject to failure from seismic activity or high water.
(2) ImRgts
The geologic conditions in San Joaquin County in general, and the
City of Lodi in particular, have the potential of restricting access
to structures esRgcially in remote or isolated areas. A moderate
earthquake or extended periods or rain can impact local access
roads.
(C) Topographic
(1) Conditions
The City of Lodi consists mainly of the San Joaquin Valley floor.
The valley floor is Inically flat land area bisected by. intermittent
and year round stream and river systems. Much of the valley floor
is irrigated agriculture. Low land areas protected by a complex and
extensive levee system characterize the Delta area. Union Pacific
Railroad Tracks bisect the eastern and western portions of Lodi as
well as Highway 99 creating traffic congestion and emergency
reMonse delays.
(2) Impacts
The vallev floor is frequentiv subiect to both ¢eneral and localized
flooding. Because the area is so flat and low, it is not unusual for
local drainage systems to be inadequate during heavy rain periods.
This condition can isolate areas where roads are flooded and
thereby block access. With the OSHA "two -in two -out" rule
requiring two fire fighters ready to make attack only when two
others are present, the potential delay in east -west response
increases the risk to firefighter and the public.
While it is clearly understood that the adoption of such amendments may not
prevent the incidence of fire, the implementation of these various amendments to
the code attempt to reduce the severity and potential loss of life, property and
protection of the environment.
Section 3. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith
are repealed insofar as such conflict may exist.
18
Section 4. This ordinance shall be published one time in "Lodi News
Sentinel," a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City of
Lodi and shall be in force and take effect thirty days after its passage.
