l
J
Section 1. RECITALS
That the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated as though fully set
forth herein .
Section 2. FINDINGS
That the City Council hereby adopts the following findings:
A. Every three years the State of California adopts a new California Fire Code ,
as part of the California Building Standards Code , which becomes effective as
to Riverside County 180 days after publication by the California Building
Standards Commission .
B. The International Fire Code has been published and adopted , as amended , by
the California Building Standards Commission into the California Code of
Regulations as Title 24 , Part 9 , titled the California Fire Code .
C . Riverside County may establish more restrictive standards reasonably
necessary to provide fire protection for life and property because of local
climatic, geological or topographical conditions .
D. Riverside County has an arid climate with annual rainfall varying from three (3)
inches in Blythe to over thirty-three (33) inches in Pine Cove. The County also
experiences annual hot, dry Santa Ana Winds , which contribute to fires
spreading quickly throughout the County.
E. A variety of regions exist within Riverside County including deserts, mountains,
brush covered wild lands , the Salton Sea and agricultural lands. Additionally,
elevations within Riverside County range from three hund red (300) feet below
sea level to mountains over ten thousand (10,000) feet. This variety in regions
contributes to an increased emergency response time , which necessitates
cooperation between local agencies.
F. Riverside County contains a large number of sensitive habitats for various
species and vegetation , consists of large open space areas between major
urban centers and includes landscapes varying from mountains and hills to
valleys and deserts. These conditions impact building and structure location ,
which impedes emergency access and response .
G . Riverside County extends from Orange County to the State of Arizona and is
mixed with congested urban areas , rural lands and wild lands , wh ich increase
Riverside County Fire Department response times to emergencies .
H . Two major earthquake faults , the San Andreas Fault and the San Jacinto Fault,
bisect Riverside County and numerous minor faults exist throughout it. As a
result , a substantial amount of property and persons located in Riverside
County are likely to be impacted by earthquakes and w ill require emergency
response and rescue .
2
l
J
I. The topography within Riverside County extends from f lat to twenty-five (25)
percent slope for habitable land , which causes buildings and structures to be
located in unique areas that impact emergency response and access .
J . In addition to earthquakes, a substantial amount of property and persons
located in Riverside County are likely to be impacted by landslides, wind
erosion , blown sand , flooding and wildfires because of the County's unique
climatic, geological and topographical conditions.
K . The additional requirements included herein are necessary to properly protect
the health , safety and welfare of the residents and workers of Riverside
County .
L. Revenue shortages make it difficult to locate additional fire stations and
provide staffing sufficient to control fires in single and multi-story retail ,
commercial and industrial buildings , making enhanced bu i lt in protection
necessary.
M . The sections of the California Fire Code may be referred to by the same
number used in said published compilation preceded by the words "R iverside
County Fire Code Section" or "Fire Code Section ."
