Findings Supporting the
City of Poway Amendments to the
California Fire Code, 2022 Edition:
As required by Health and Safety Code Section 17958, the Poway City Council does herewith make express findings that amendments to the California Fire Code, 2022 Edition, are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare due to certain climatic, topographic, or geographical features existing in the County of San Diego.
Findings for the City of Poway amendments to the California Fire Code, 2022 Edition.
FINDING 1
The City of Poway is situated on the slopes and at the base of the coastal mountains with drainage from the eastern portion of the City of Poway, including the San Dieguito River and Rancho Penasquitos Creek, which, when flooded, could result in conditions rendering vehicular access unduly burdensome or impossible for the Fire Department.
Further, the flood conditions described above carry the potential for overcoming the ability of the Fire Department to aid or assist in fire control, evacuations, rescues, and the emergency tasks and demands inherent in such situations. The potential for the aforementioned flooding conditions to result in limiting Fire Department emergency vehicular traffic, with resulting overtaxing Fire Department personnel, may further cause a substantial or total lack of protection against fire for the buildings and structures located within the jurisdiction.
FINDING 2
The City of Poway is situated near several known major faults, each capable of generating earthquakes of significant magnitude. These include the Rose Canyon fault the Newport Inglewood fault, the Coronado Banks fault, and the Silver Strand fault, (located generally west of the City of Poway), and the Elsinore fault and Agua Caliente fault (located east of the City of Poway). These faults are subject to activity at any time, and the City of Poway is particularly vulnerable to devastation should such an earthquake occur.
The potential effects of earthquake activity include, isolating the City of Poway from the surrounding area, restricting or eliminating internal circulation due to the potential for the collapse of highway overpasses and underpasses along with other bridges in the City, or an earth slide and the potential for vertical movement rendering surface travel unduly burdensome or impossible.
FINDING 3
The City of Poway and Southern California are semi-arid regions and experience water shortages from time to time. Those shortages can have a severely adverse effect on water availability for firefighting. Fires starting in sprinkled buildings are typically controlled by one or two sprinkler heads flowing as little as 13 gallons per minute per sprinkler head activation.
Hose streams used by engine companies on well-established structure fires operate at a minimum of about 250 gallons per minute each, and the estimated water need for a typical residential fire is 1,000 to 1,500 gallons per minute, according to the Insurance Service Office and the California Fire Code.
36 of 43
1 December 6, 2022, Item #12
Under circumstances such as lack of water, infrastructure, earthquakes, and multiple and wildland fires within a community, the limited water demands of residential fire sprinklers would control and extinguish many fires before they spread from building to wildland. In such a disaster, water demands needed for conflagration firefighting probably would not be available.
FINDING 4
The topography of the City of Poway presents problems in delivery of emergency services, including fire protection. The hilly terrain has narrow, winding roads with little circulation, preventing rapid access and orderly evacuation. Much of these hills are covered with highly non fire resistive natural vegetation. In addition to access and evacuation problems, the terrain makes delivery of water extremely difficult. Some hilly areas served by water tank and pump systems are subject to failure in fire, high winds, earthquake, and other power failure situations.
FINDING 5
The seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create numerous serious difficulties regarding the control of, and protection against, fires in the City of Poway. The hot, dry weather that is typical of this area in summer and fall, coupled with Santa Ana winds and low humidity, frequently result in wildfires that threaten, or could threaten, the City of Poway.
Although some Code requirements, such as fire-resistive roof classification, have a direct bearing on building survival in a wildland fire situation, others, such as residential fire sprinklers, may also have a positive effect. In a dry climate on low humidity days, many materials are much more easily ignited. More fires are likely to occur and any fire, once started, can expand extremely rapidly. Residential fire sprinklers can arrest a fire starting within a structure before the fire is able to spread to adjacent brush and structures.
A seasonal wind also has the potential for interfering with emergency vehicle access and delaying or making impossible fire responses because of toppling of extensive plantings of dense chaparral, eucalyptus, and conifer trees. The trees are subject to uprooting in strong winds due to their relatively small root bases compared to the tree itself. The aforementioned problems support the imposition of fire-protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California Building Code or Fire Code.
FINDING 6
Due to the topography in much of the City of Poway, roadway condition, gates, angle of approach or departure, steeply sloping roadways, and grades are common. In addition, a combination of potentially severe rainstorms and ground-water retention could occur in many areas of the City where there is expansive soil. This produces a condition wherein the moisture content of the soil is sufficient, that roadways become damaged due to soil expansion and shrinkage. All-weather, paved surfaces, capable of supporting the imposed loads of fire apparatus are necessary to ensure access of emergency response personnel. These roadways, gates, approach angles, steep slopes, and grades can also make it difficult for fire apparatus and other emergency vehicles to access a site. It is, therefore, essential that these roadway accesses be provided with proper all-weather, paved surfaces, angle of approach, grades, and gate access.
FINDING 7
The City of Poway has State Route 67, Poway Road, Scripps Poway Parkway, Pomerado Road and Espola Road as major roadways within its boundaries. Transportation vehicles carrying known toxic, flammable, explosive, and hazardous materials travel these roadways. 37 of 43
2 December 6, 2022, Item #12
The potential for the release or threatened release of hazardous materials along these routes is likely given the volume that is transported within Poway city limits. Incidents of this nature will normally require all available emergency response personnel to prevent injury and loss of life and to limit or prevent environmental and property loss. Emergency personnel responding to such aforementioned incidents may be unduly impeded and delayed in accomplishing an emergency response as a result of this situation, with the potential result of undue and unnecessary risk to the protection of life and public safety and, in particular, endangering residents and occupants in buildings or structures without the protection of automatic fire sprinklers.
The aforementioned problems support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California Building Code or Fire Code. 38 of 43
