WHEREAS, the City held a public hearing on .—, 2022, as required by law, at which time all interested persons had the opportunity to appear and be heard on the matter of adopting the Fire Code as amended herein; and
WHEREAS, California law provides that the failure of the City to adopt and have the the California Fire Code, as adopted by the state, is applicable to the City without any local amendments, despite the fact that the local amendments provide building safety and fire protection measures that are needed for the preservation of the health and safety of residents and businesses in the City of Downey, and include, but are not limited to measures to assure protection of buildings from local wind conditions, fire emergencies, and earthquake hazards; and WHEREAS, any and all other legal prerequisites relating to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred; and
WHEREAS, at least one copy of the Code adopted by reference by this Ordinance was available for public inspection at the office of the City Clerk fifteen (115) days preceding the public hearing, pursuant to Government Code Section 50022.6.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed amendments to the 2022 California Fire Code are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic or topographic conditions, and adopts the findings provided below to support the modifications to the 2022 California Fire Code. The City Council further finds that some changes and modifications are of an administrative or procedural nature, or concern themselves with subjects not covered by the Code, or are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within the City. The City Council hereby adopts the following (climatic, geological, and topographical, where applicable) findings to support the proposed amendments to the 2022 California Fire Code made in this A. The jurisdiction of the City of Downey (or, "City") is located in a semi -arid Mediterranean type climate. It annually experiences extended periods of high temperatures with little or no precipitation. For example, during July, August and September, temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. During the same months humidity is usually less than 40%, and humidity measurements less than 10% are not uncommon. These conditions contribute to an increased likelihood of fire. Moreover, minor fires have a greater tendency of spreading rapidly due to such conditions. The City, being in the Southern California area, is also subject to "Sundowner" or "Santa Ana" winds that, should a fire occur, cause the fire to spread rapidly over wood shake roofs which are common in the residential areas.

These hot, dry (Santa Ana) winds may reach speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater.

These climatic conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and common building materials. Frequent periods of drought and low humidity add to the fire danger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires (conflagration). In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings, these fires are also prone to disrupt utility services throughout the City. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, street lights and utility poles, and the requirement to climb 75 feet vertically up flights of stairs will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene. Additionally, there is a significant increase in the amount of wind -2-

force at 60 feet above the ground. Use of aerial type fire -fighting apparatus abovq this height would place rescue personnel at increased risk of injury.

B. Water demand in this densely populated area far exceeds the quantity supplied by natural precipitation; and although the population continues to grow, the already - taxed water supply does not. California is projected to increase in population by nearly 10 million over the next quarter of a century with 50 percent of that growth centered in Southern California. Due to storage capacities and consumption, and a limited amount of rainfall, future water allocation is not fully dependable. This necessitates the need for additional and on -site fire protection features. It would also leave tall buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires due to a lack of available water and an inability to pump sufficient quantities of available water to floors in _? fire.
0 0. These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires originating in high -density housing or vegetation. These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire protection features will supplement normal fire department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75 percent.

A. Development has occurred in the City and continues to occur in the City and such development has resulted in severe traffic congestion during peak business hours, weekends and holidays, thus decreasing the response time of fire and emergency service vehicles, particularly on the following streets and highways: Florence Avenue, Firestone Boulevard, Imperial Highway, Paramount Boulevard, Lakewood Boulevard, Brookshire Avenue, Bellflower Boulevard.

B. These topographical conditions combine to create a situation which places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk, and makes it necessary to provide automatic on -site fire -extinguishing systems and other protection measures to protect occupants and property. Due to these topographical conditions and the expected infrastructure damage inherent in seismic zones described below, it is prudent to rely on automatic fire sprinkler systems to mitigate extended fire department response time and keep fires manageable with reduced fire flow (water) requirements for a given structure. Numerous fires have occurred within the City in residential structures (houses, apartments, hotels, motels, and dormitories) over the past several years that have automatic fire protection systems, and in all of these fires, the automatic fire protection systems have successfully controlled and/or suppressed the fire before the emergency responst personnel have been able to arrive at the structure. Additional fire protection is also justified to match the current resources of firefighting equipment and personnel within the fire department.

M
A. The City of Downey is located in Southern California, in an extremely active seismic region, with high levels of historic earthquake shaking in the recent past (earthquakes measuring larger than a magnitude 5 on the Richter Scale) and can be expected to experience significant strong ground shaking within the foreseeable future. The City is a densely populated area that has buildings constructed over

and near a vast and complex network of faults that increase the likelihood of catastrophic damage when a seismic event occurs and which are believed to be capable of producing future earthquakes similar or greater in size to the 1994 Northridge and the 1971 Sylmar earthquakes in Southern California.

The seismotectonic setting of the City is dominated by the Norwalk fault, which traverses the northern portion of the City. The City is also in close proximity to the San Andreas fault, which is located 40 miles to the northeast, the Whittier fault, located 10 miles to the northeast and the Newport -Inglewood fault, located 10 miles to the southwest. In the event of a severe earthquake, these faults present the potential for catastrophic damage, including fire, damage to roadways and other impairments of emergency apparatus. Existing and planned developments are at risk from structural damage from earthquake faults. Improved standards are necessary to ensure that maximum safety is provided to persons and property.

B. Previous earthquakes have been accompanied by disruption of traffic flow and fires. 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. This situation creates the need for both additional fire protection and automatic on -site fire protection for building occupants.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: Findings. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed amendments to the 2022 California Building Code are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic, or topographic conditions, and adopts the findings provided below to support the modifications to the 2022 California Building Code. The City Council further finds that some changes and modifications are of an administrative or procedural nature, or concern themselves with subjects not covered by the code, or are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within the City. The City Council hereby adopts the following (Climatic, geological, and topographical, wherd applicable) findings to support the proposed amendments to the 2022 California Building Cod�, made in this Ordinance:

1. Climatic Conditions
A. The jurisdiction of the City of Downey (or, "City") is located in a semi -arid Mediterranean type climate. It annually experiences extended periods of high temperatures with little or no precipitation. For example, during July, August and September, temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. During the same months humidity is usually less than 40%, and humidity measurements less than 10% are not uncommon. These conditions contribute to an increased likelihood of fire. Moreover, minor fires have a greater tendency of spreading rapidly due to such conditions. The City, being in the Southern California area, is also subject to "Sundowner" or "Santa Ana" winds that, should a fire occur, cause the fire to spread rapidly over wood shake roofs which are common in the residential areas.

These hot, dry (Santa Ana) winds may reach speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater.

force at 60 feet above the ground. Use of aerial type fire -fighting apparatus above this height would place rescue personnel at increased risk of injury.

These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of evei:� small fires originating in high -density housing or vegetation. These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire protection features will supplement normal fire department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75 percent.

A. Development has occurred in the City and continues to is in the City and such development has resulted in severe traffic congestion during peak business hours, weekends and holidays, thus decreasing the response time of fire and emergency service vehicles, particularly on the following streets and highways: Florence Avenue, Firestone Boulevard, Imperial Highway, Paramount Boulevard, Lakewood Boulevard, Brookshire Avenue, Bellflower Boulevard.

B. These topographical conditions combine to create a situation which places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk, and makes it necessary to provide automatic on -site fire -extinguishing systems and other protection measures to protect occupants and property. Due to these topographical conditions and the expected infrastructure damage inherent in seismic zones described below, it is prudent to rely on automatic fire sprinkler systems to mitigate extended fire department response time and keep fires manageable with reduced fire flow (water) requirements for a given structure. Numerous fires have occurred within the City in residential structures (houses, apartments, hotels, motels, and dormitories) over the past several years that have automatic fire protection systems, and in all of these fires, the automatic fire protection systems have successfully controlled and/or suppressed the fire before the emergency response personnel have been able to arrive at the structure. Additional fire protection is also justified to match the current resources of firefighting equipment and personnel within the fire department.

A. The City of Downey is located in Southern California, in an extremely active seismic region, with high levels of historic earthquake shaking in the recent past 65 186,00205\40748980, 1

(earthquakes measuring larger than a magnitude 5 on the Richter Scale) and can �a 6xAtet&i tt sigi5ificai5t str,,uq grvrAit-g treseea�le future. The City is a densely populated area that has buildings constructed over and near a vast and complex network of faults that increase the likelihood of catastrophic damage when a seismic event occurs and which are believed to be capable of producing future earthquakes similar or greater in size to the 1994 Northridge, the 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake, the 1971 Sylmar earthquakes and 1933 Long Beach Earthquake.

The seismotectonic setting of the City is dominated by the Norwalk fault, which traverses the northern portion of the City. The City is also in close proximity to the San Andreas Fault, which is located 40 miles to the northeast, the Whittier fault, located 10 miles to the northeast and the Newport -Inglewood fault, located 10 miles to the southwest. In the event of a severe earthquake, these faults present the potential for catastrophic damage, including fire, damage to roadways and other impairments of emergency apparatus. Existing and planned developments are at risk from structural damage from earthquake faults. Improved standards are necessary to ensure that maximum safety is provided to persons and property.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SEgl!2N.1 Findings. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed amendments to the 2022 California Residential Code are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic, of topographic conditions, and adopts the findings provided below to support the modifications to the 2022 California Residential Code. The City Council further finds that some changes and modifications are of an administrative or procedural nature, or concern themselves with subjects not covered by the code, or are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within the City. The City Council hereby adopts the following (Climatic, geological, and toppgraphical, where applicable) findings to support the proposed amendments to the 2022 California Residential Code made in this Ordinance:

These hot, dry (Santa Ana) winds may reach speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater.

These climatic conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and commor 651 96,00205\407489951

building materials. Frequent periods •o. drought and • humidity add to the fire 0nger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires (conflagration). In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings, these fires are also prone to disrupt utility services throughout the City. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, street lights and utility poles, and the requirement to climb 75 feet vertically up •'I • stairs will greatly impact the response time to reach an dent scene. Additionally, there is a significant increase in the amount •i wind force at 60 feet above the ground. Use of aerial type fire -fighting apparatus abovz this height would place rescue personnel at increased risk of injury.

C. These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread •; even small fires originating in high -density housing or vegetation. These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection •.I fire • systems and • fire protection features will supplement normal fire department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and •'. containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75 percent.

A. Development has occurred in the City and continues to occur in the City and such development has resulted in severe traffic congestion during peak business hours, • and holidays, thus decreasing the •• time • fire and •- service vehicles, particularly on the following streets and highways: Florence Avenue, Firestone Boulevard, Imperial Highway, Paramount Boulevard, Lakewood Boulevard, Brookshire Avenue, Beliflower Boulevard.

B. These topographical conditions combine to create a situation which places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk, and makes it necessary to provide automatic on -site fire -extinguishing systems and other protection measures to protect occupants and property. Due to these topographical conditions and the expected infrastructure damage inherent in seismic zones described below, it is prudent to rely •:., • fire sprinkler systems to mitigate extended fire department response time and keep fires manageable with reduced fire flow (water) requirements for a given structure. Numerous fires have occurred within the City in residential structures (houses, apartments, hotels, motels, and dormitories) over the past several years that have automatic fire protection systems, • in all • these fires, the automatic fire protection systems have successfully controlled and/or suppressed the fire before the emergency response personnel have been able to arrive at the structure. Additional fire protection is also justified to match the current resources of firefighting equipment and personnel within the fire department.

A. The City of Downey is located in Southern California, in an extremely active seismic region, with high levels of • • shaking in the recent • (earthquakes measuring larger than a magnitude 5 on the Richter Scale) and can be expected to experience significant strong ground shaking within the foreseeable future. The City is a densely populated area that has buildings constructed over • near a vast and complex network • faults that increase the likelihood of catastrophic damage when a seismic event occurs and which are believed to be capable of producing future earthquakes similar or greater in size to the 1994 Northridge, the • Whittier Narrows • the 1971 Sylmar •
• 1933 Long Beach •
The seismotectonic setting of the City is dominated by the Norwalk fault, which traverses the northern portion of the City. The City is also in close proximity to the San Andreas Fault, which is located 40 miles to the northeast, the Whittier fault, located 10 miles to the northeast and the Newport -Inglewood fault, located 10 miles to the southwest. In the event of a severe earthquake, these faults present the potential for •: damage, including fire, damage to roadways and other impairments of emergency apparatus. Existing and planned developments are at risk from structural damage from • faults. Improved standards are necessary to ensure that maximum safety is provided to persons and property.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
within the City. The City Council hereby adopts the following (Clir�atic, geological, and topographical, where applicable) findings to support the proposed amendments to the 2022 California Residential Code made in this Ordinance:

A. The jurisdiction of the City of Downey (or, "City") is located in a semi -arid Mediterranean type climate. It annually experiences extended periods of high temperatures with little or no precipitation. For example, during July, August and September, temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. During the same months humidity is usually less than 40%, and humidity measurements less than 10% are not uncommon. These conditions contribute to an increased likelihood of fire. Moreover, minor fires have a greater tendency of spreading rapidly due to such conditions. The City, being in the Southern California area, is also subject to "Sundowner" or "Santa Ana" winds that, should a fire occur, cause the fire to spread rapidly over wood shake roofs which are common in the residential areas.

These hot, dry (Santa Ana) winds may reach speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater.

These climatic conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and common building materials. Frequent periods of drought and low humidity add to the fire danger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires (conflagration). In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings, these fires are also prone to disrupt utility services throughout the City. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, street lights and utility poles, and the requirement to climb 75 feet vertically up flights of stairs will greatly impact the response time to reach an dent scene. Additionally, there is a significant increase in the amount of wind force at 60 feet above the ground. Use of aerial type fire -fighting apparatus above this height would place rescue personnel at increased risk of injury.

8. Water demand in this densely populated area far exceeds the quantity supplied by natural precipitation; and although the population continues to grow, the already - taxed water supply does not. California is projected to increase in population by nearly 10 million over the next quarter of a century with 50 percent of that growth centered in Southern California. Due to storage capacities and consumption, and a limited amount of rainfall, future water allocation is not fully dependable. This necessitates the need for additional and on -site fire protection features. It would also leave tall buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires due to a lack of available water and an inability to pump sufficient quantities of available water to floors in a fire.

CThese dry climatic conditions and is contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires originating in high -density housing or vegetation. These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire protection features will supplement normal fire department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75 percent.

B. These topographical conditions combine to create a situation which places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk, and makes it necessary to provide automatic on -site fire -extinguishing systems and other protection measures to protect occupants and property. Due to these topographical conditions and the expected infrastructure damage inherent in seismic zones described below, it is prudent to rely on automatic fire sprinkler systems to mitigate extended fire department response time and keep fires manageable with reduced fire flow (water) requirements for a given structure. Numerous fires have occurred within the City in residential structures (houses, apartments, hotels, motels, and dormitories) over the past several years that have automatic fire protection systems, and in all of these fires, the automatic fire protection systems have successfully controlled and/or suppressed the fire before the emergency response personnel have been able to arrive at the structure. Additional fire protection is also justified to match the current resources of firefighting equipment and personnel within the fire department.

A. The City of Downey is located in Southern California, in an extremely active seismic region, with high levels of historic earthquake shaking in the recent past (earthquakes measuring larger than a magnitude 5 on the Richter Scale) and can be expected to experience significant strong ground shaking within the foreseeable future. The City is a densely populated area that has buildings constructed over and near a vast and complex network of faults that increase the likelihood of catastrophic damage when a seismic event occurs and which are believed to be capable of producing future earthquakes similar or greater in size to the 1994 Northridge, the 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake, the 1971 Sylmar earthquakes and 1933 Long Beach Earthquake.

roadways and other impairments of emergency apparatus. Existing and planned developments are at risk from structural damage from earthquake faults.

Improved standards are necessary to ensure that maximum safety is provided to persons and property.

Previous earthquakes have been accompanied by disruption of traffic flow and fires. 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. This situation creates the need for both additional fire protection and automatic on -site fire protection for building occupants.
