Fresno City Council
November 3, 2022

2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Fresno that said Council expressly finds each of the various proposed modifications or changes to the California Fire Code, which are enumerated below, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological and topographical conditions in the area encompassed by the City of Fresno, as follows:

A. LOCAL CONDITIONS:

Pursuant to Health and Safety Code, Sections 17958.7 and 18941.5, local climatic, topographical or geological conditions make the amendments to the California Fire Code reasonably necessary.

1. CLIMATIC – EXTREME TEMPERATURES

1.1 As documented in the Fresno General Plan and the recently certified Programmatic Environmental Impact Report during the summer months the City of Fresno experiences periods of what can only be described as extreme heat.

The last three years’ worth of the “Local Climatological Data Annual Summary with Comparative Data” reports for 2019, 2020, and 2021 promulgated by the United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Climatic Data Center demonstrate this condition. In the 2019 summary, the mean daily maximum temperature for Fresno in June, July, August and September is: 94.3°F, 99.0°F,

99.0°F and 90.5°F respectively. In 2020 the same information is noted as: 93.6°F, 99.9°F, 100.4°F and 93.0°F and in 2021 was: 97.0°F, 103.3°F, 100.2°F and 94.1°F.

Though Health & Safety Code § 17958.7 does not require the local conditions to be unique to a particular jurisdiction, the temperature chart s demonstrate that the temperatures experienced in Fresno are extreme when compared to temperatures experienced in other parts of California.

1.2 Because of the extreme heat Fresno experiences during the summer months, Fresno firefighters responding to fires and other incidents requiring the evacuation of a building are regularly exposed to
temperatures in excess of 105ºF degrees, when
accounting for their protective gear, exposing them to the probability of heat cramps, heat exhaustion and possibly heat stroke.

2. GEOLOGICAL – LIMITED WATER SUPPLY AND WATER PRESSURE

2.1 The Fresno Metropolitan area is arid area that receives small amounts of 3 rainfall each year. In 2019 Fresno received 12.40 inches of water equivalent precipitation.

In 2020, the City received only 6.17 inches and in 2021, only 10.38 inches. Furthermore, the Fresno City Metropolitan Area relies primarily on groundwater for its municipal water supply. According to the California Department of Water Resources, the Kings basin (our underground aquifer) is in a state of critical overdraft.

2.2 Due to the hot, dry summers in the Fresno area, domestic water demand substantially reduces the ability of the public water system to dependably meet the larger fire flow demand in many areas of the City.

3. CLIMATIC/TOPOGRAPHICAL – POOR AIR QUALITY CAUSED BY

TOPOGRAPHY OF SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AIR BASIN, LARGE NUMBER OF

SUNNY DAYS AND INVERSIONS THAT FORM DURING WINTER MONTHS

3.1 As a result of the San Joaquin Valley's climate and topography, the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAP) is predisposed to poor air quality. High mountain ranges surrounding the Valley frequently create air layer inversions that prevent mixing of air masses. The large number of sunny days per year, and high temperatures in the summer favors the formation of ozone. The area receives so much sunshine that the City of Fresno was ranked the second highest major California city for sunshine, eighth in the nation, with an estimated 79 percent annual average of pos sible sunshine for more than a 3 0-year period. In the winter, inversions form that often trap particulate matter.

3.2 The Federal EPA and California Air Resources Board have classified the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin as severe non- attainment for Ozone and serious non- attainment (federal) non-attainment (state) for PM

10. Ozone is formed by a complex series of chemical
reactions between reactive organic gases (ROG), oxides of nitrogen and sunlight. PM10 is suspended particulate matter that is less than 10 microns in size. Given its small size, PM10 can remain airborne for long periods and can be inhaled, pass through the respiratory system, and lodge in the lungs. In general, non-attainment means that the federal standard has been exceeded more than twice per year.

3.3 Smoke is composed primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, hydrocarbons and other organic chemicals, nitrogen oxides, trace minerals and several thousand other compounds. Particulate matter is the principal pollutant of concern for the relatively short -term exposures (hours to weeks) typic ally experienced by the public. Particulate matter in wood smoke has a size range near the wavelength of visible light (.4-.7 micrometers). Because these particles can be inhaled into the deepest recesses of the lungs, they are thought to represent a greater health concern than larger particles. Another pollutant of concern during some events is carbon monoxide.

The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District states "Emissions from burning include fine particulate, hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, carbon monoxide, and toxic air contaminants that contribute to our air quality problems."

4. TOPOGRAPHICAL – FRESNO'S DEVELOPMENT PATTERN

4 4.1 Due to the relatively low-density growth pattern in the Fresno area, its 20 fire stations are spaced approximately four miles apart resulting in an average of a two- mile running distance for the designated first-in engine company. This average two-mile travel distance increases the response time to fires , which result in an increase in the size and intensity of fires.

4.2 As set forth in detail in the attached proposed Resolution and Ordinance, each of the local amendments to the California Fire Code are reasonably necessary because of these climatic, topographical, and geological conditions. The amendments may be generally characterized as relating to (1) fire sprinkler systems; (2 ) luminous exit markings; (3 ) additional regulation of recycling and waste handling facilities; and ( 4) additional regulation of locations of above-ground tanks, the amount of Class 1 and Class II liquids at farms and construction sites in above- ground tanks and basement storage of flammable liquids. Below is a brief summary of the reasons these amendments are necessary.

5 FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS

5.1 Fire sprinkler systems have proven extremely effective in suppressing and extinguishing unwanted fires using a small fraction of the water used by traditional fire suppression methods. This results in smaller fires or fires of shorter duration and thus produces far less toxic smoke that affects air quality. Because fire sprinklers limit the size and the duration of fires, fewer fire personnel are likely to be required to respond to said fires, which reduce the number of fire personnel who would be exposed to the health risks associated with sustained exposure to high temperatures and smoke toxicity. Fire sprinklers also address the extended run times due to topography -related, low density growth patterns in Fresno, and require personnel to stay on scene for shorter periods of time. This allows personnel to be available for other calls for services at a higher rate.

Finally, the lower consumption of water as a result of the installation of fire sprinklers preserves one of our City’s most valuable resources, and limits the amount of water effluent (which could be in the millions of gallons) that must be treated downstream. The modifications proposed in this category maintain existing amendments approved by previous Councils that continue a proactive fire sprinkler installation emphasis for community-wide fire protection that commenced in 1979, and expand protection to reduce demand on the City’s resources.

6. PHOTOLUMINESCENT EXIT MARKINGS

6.1 Photoluminescent exit markings greatly assist individuals in ev acuating buildings without the use of fire personnel. Accordingly, requiring these markings facilitate the unassisted evacuation of buildings. Therefore, fewer fire personnel will be needed at the scene of a fire to assist in the evacuation of a building in which photoluminescent exit markings have been installed. This modification continues an existing amendment first approved by Council in 2006.

7. ADDITIONAL REGULATION OF RECYCLING AND WASTE HANDLING 5 FACILITIES

7.1 T hese regulations will serve to reduce the possibility of spontaneous combustion of piles of waste materials and facilitate the suppression and extinguishing of fires at these sites. This will result in smaller amounts of pollutants being released into the air and in effluent water runoff, and result in fewer fire personnel having to respond to said fires. This may also shorten the time that fire personnel will be required to remain at the scene of the fire. These modifications are a continuation of requirements approved by Council in 2003, after the disastrous Crippen Fire in southwest Fresno.

8. A DDITIONAL REGULATION OF MOTOR FUEL DISPENSING AND REPAIR

GARAGES, LOCATIONS OF ABOVE-GROUND TANKS, THE AMOUNT OF CLASS I AND

CLASS II LIQUIDS AT FARMS AND CONSTRUCTION SITES IN ABOVE- GROUND TANKS AND BASEMENT STORAGE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.

8.1 Fresno's very hot, dry conditions make all combustible materials (grass, weeds, buildings, roof coverings, etc.) highly combustible, which increases the general community wide fire hazard. High temperatures also make all flammable and combustible liquids and gases much more volatile, increasing the fire hazard where they are present .

Therefore, increased re gulation of the storage of certain classes of fuels and gases is reasonably necessary to reduce the fire risk associated with the ignition of these materials.

These modifications are a continuation of amendments approved by Council that date back to at least 1978, in an effort to control the risk of low flash point hazardous materials in our community.

FRESNO

CALIFORNIA (KFAT)
Fresno is located about midway and toward the
eastern edge of the San Joaquin Valley, which is
oriented northwest to southeast and has a length
of about 225 miles and an average width of 50
miles. The San Joaquin Valley is generally flat.

About 15 miles east of Fresno the terrain slopes
upward with the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

The Sierra Nevada attain an elevation of more than
14,000 feet 50 miles east of Fresno. West of the
city 45 miles lie the foothills of the Coastal
Range.

The climate of Fresno is dry and mild in winter
and hot in summer. Nearly nine-tenths of the
annual precipitation falls in the six months
from November to April.

Due to clear skies during the summer and the
protection of the San Joaquin Valley from marine
effects, the normal daily maximum temperature
reaches the high 90s during the latter part of
July. The daily maximum temperature during the
warmest month has ranged from 76 to ll5 degrees.

Low relative humidities and some wind movement
substantially lower the sensible temperature
during periods of high readings. Humidity
readings of 15 percent are common on summer
afternoons, and readings as low as 8 percent have
been recorded. In contrast to this, humidity
readings average 90 percent during the morning
hours of December and January.

Winds flow with the major axis of the San Joaquin
Valley, generally from the northwest. This
feature is especially beneficial since, during the
warmest months, the northwest winds increase
during the evenings. These refreshing breezes and
the normally large temperature variation of about
35 degrees between the highest and lowest readings
of the day, generally result in comfortable
evening and night temperatures.

Winter temperatures are usually mild with
infrequent cold spells dropping the readings
below freezing. Heavy frost occurs almost every
year, and the first frost usually occurs during
the last week of November. The last frost in
spring is usually in early March, however, one
year in five will have the last frost after the
first of April. The growing season is 291 days.

Although the heaviest rains recorded at Fresno for
short periods have occurred in June, usually any
rainfall during the summer is very light. Snow is
a rare occurrence in Fresno.

Fresno enjoys a very high percentage of sunshine,
receiving more than 80 percent of the possible
amounts during all but the four months of
November, December, January, and February.

Reduction of sunshine during these months is
caused by fog and short periods of stormy weather.

During foggy periods, at times lasting nearly
two weeks, sunshine is reduced to a minimum. This
fog frequently lifts to a few hundred feet above
the surface of the valley and presents the
appearance of a heavy, solid cloud layer.

Spring and autumn are very enjoyable seasons in
Fresno, with clear skies, light rainfall and winds
and mild temperatures.

FRESNO

CALIFORNIA (KFAT)
Fresno is located about midway and toward the
eastern edge of the San Joaquin Valley, which is
oriented northwest to southeast and has a length
of about 225 miles and an average width of 50
miles. The San Joaquin Valley is generally flat.

About 15 miles east of Fresno the terrain slopes
upward with the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

The Sierra Nevada attain an elevation of more than
14,000 feet 50 miles east of Fresno. West of the
city 45 miles lie the foothills of the Coastal
Range.

The climate of Fresno is dry and mild in winter
and hot in summer. Nearly nine-tenths of the
annual precipitation falls in the six months
from November to April.

Due to clear skies during the summer and the
protection of the San Joaquin Valley from marine
effects, the normal daily maximum temperature
reaches the high 90s during the latter part of
July. The daily maximum temperature during the
warmest month has ranged from 76 to ll5 degrees.

Low relative humidities and some wind movement
substantially lower the sensible temperature
during periods of high readings. Humidity
readings of 15 percent are common on summer
afternoons, and readings as low as 8 percent have
been recorded. In contrast to this, humidity
readings average 90 percent during the morning
hours of December and January.

Winds flow with the major axis of the San Joaquin
Valley, generally from the northwest. This
feature is especially beneficial since, during the
warmest months, the northwest winds increase
during the evenings. These refreshing breezes and
the normally large temperature variation of about
35 degrees between the highest and lowest readings
of the day, generally result in comfortable
evening and night temperatures.

Winter temperatures are usually mild with
infrequent cold spells dropping the readings
below freezing. Heavy frost occurs almost every
year, and the first frost usually occurs during
the last week of November. The last frost in
spring is usually in early March, however, one
year in five will have the last frost after the
first of April. The growing season is 291 days.

Although the heaviest rains recorded at Fresno for
short periods have occurred in June, usually any
rainfall during the summer is very light. Snow is
a rare occurrence in Fresno.

Fresno enjoys a very high percentage of sunshine,
receiving more than 80 percent of the possible
amounts during all but the four months of
November, December, January, and February.

Reduction of sunshine during these months is
caused by fog and short periods of stormy weather.

During foggy periods, at times lasting nearly
two weeks, sunshine is reduced to a minimum. This
fog frequently lifts to a few hundred feet above
the surface of the valley and presents the
appearance of a heavy, solid cloud layer.

Spring and autumn are very enjoyable seasons in
Fresno, with clear skies, light rainfall and winds
and mild temperatures.

FRESNO

CALIFORNIA (KFAT)
Fresno is located about midway and toward the
eastern edge of the San Joaquin Valley, which is
oriented northwest to southeast and has a length
of about 225 miles and an average width of 50
miles. The San Joaquin Valley is generally flat.

About 15 miles east of Fresno the terrain slopes
upward with the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

The Sierra Nevada attain an elevation of more than
14,000 feet 50 miles east of Fresno. West of the
city 45 miles lie the foothills of the Coastal
Range.

The climate of Fresno is dry and mild in winter
and hot in summer. Nearly nine-tenths of the
annual precipitation falls in the six months
from November to April.

Due to clear skies during the summer and the
protection of the San Joaquin Valley from marine
effects, the normal daily maximum temperature
reaches the high 90s during the latter part of
July. The daily maximum temperature during the
warmest month has ranged from 76 to ll5 degrees.

Low relative humidities and some wind movement
substantially lower the sensible temperature
during periods of high readings. Humidity
readings of 15 percent are common on summer
afternoons, and readings as low as 8 percent have
been recorded. In contrast to this, humidity
readings average 90 percent during the morning
hours of December and January.

Winds flow with the major axis of the San Joaquin
Valley, generally from the northwest. This
feature is especially beneficial since, during the
warmest months, the northwest winds increase
during the evenings. These refreshing breezes and
the normally large temperature variation of about
35 degrees between the highest and lowest readings
of the day, generally result in comfortable
evening and night temperatures.

Winter temperatures are usually mild with
infrequent cold spells dropping the readings
below freezing. Heavy frost occurs almost every
year, and the first frost usually occurs during
the last week of November. The last frost in
spring is usually in early March, however, one
year in five will have the last frost after the
first of April. The growing season is 291 days.

Although the heaviest rains recorded at Fresno for
short periods have occurred in June, usually any
rainfall during the summer is very light. Snow is
a rare occurrence in Fresno.

Fresno enjoys a very high percentage of sunshine,
receiving more than 80 percent of the possible
amounts during all but the four months of
November, December, January, and February.

Reduction of sunshine during these months is
caused by fog and short periods of stormy weather.

During foggy periods, at times lasting nearly
two weeks, sunshine is reduced to a minimum. This
fog frequently lifts to a few hundred feet above
the surface of the valley and presents the
appearance of a heavy, solid cloud layer.

Spring and autumn are very enjoyable seasons in
Fresno, with clear skies, light rainfall and winds
and mild temperatures.
