FROM: F;oc %,'.ARSuAL
DATE: Aprl'. 7, 1993
SUBJECT: UNIFORM FIRE CODE ADOPTION
The Uniform Fire Codes are dedicated to fire life safety in all
occupancies to protect property and human life. sections of the
Uniform Fire code are already adonted by the State Fire Marshal and
are enforceable as state law.
Changes to the Codes are processed each year and published ever,
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 to become a 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.
The State of California adopts the Uniform Codes by reference and
requires cities and counties to adopt the same within six mtonths.
This process insures uniformity in enforcement betweer_
jurisdictions.
Included in this packet is the verbiage to adopt the Uniform Fire
Code and any amendments or additions that have been made to conform
to the requirements of the City Of Lodi.
The proposed amendments have not been changed from the prior years
adoptions with the exception of wording changes and deletions to
conform with the 1991 Uniform Fire Code.
