CITY COUNCIL
Adoption of an Ordinance of the City of Poway, California, Amending Poway Municipal Code (PMC) Title 15, Adopting by Reference the 2022 California Building Standards Codes with Local Amendments, Adoption of a Resolution Amending and Establishing Permit and Inspection Fees within the Fire Department Section of the Master Fee Schedule, and Determination that the Adoption ofthe Foregoing Amendments by Ordinance and Resolution is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b )(3)
On December 3, 2019, the City Council adopted the 2019 Edition of the California Building Standards Codes. These codes, which are adopted by reference, will be replaced by the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards Code. The 2022 Edition codes will go into effect on January 1, 2023. The purpose of this Ordinance is to update the Poway Municipal Code (PMC) to the current State­ mandated code edition and to incorporate local amendments which address the City's specific needs based upon our zoning regulations and unique climate, topography, and geography. This proposed Ordinance includes the State required fire and life safety codes and practices from the California Building Standards Code, which includes the Fire Code, for the City of Poway. Additionally, permit and inspection fees within the Fire Department section of the Master Fee Schedule are being amended and established to align with the current State required fire and life safety codes and practices.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council take public input, close the public hearing and introduce the Ordinance (Attachment A) for first reading by title only, waiving further reading, schedule the adoption for January 17, 2023, adopt the Resolution (Attachment B) amending and establishing permit and inspection fees within the Fire Department section of the Master Fee Schedule and determine that the adoption of the foregoing amendments by Ordinance and Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3). 1 of 43
December 6, 2022, Item #12
Discussion: 2022
California
Building
Standards
Code
with
Local
Amendments
The
California
Building
Standards
Code
is
published
by
the
California
Building
Standards
Commission
every
three
years
to
include
fire,
building,
electrical,
residential,
plumbing,
mechanical,
energy,
and
green
building
standards.

Every
three
years,
the
City
then
adopts
these
codes
by
reference
in
Title
15 of
the
PMC,
titled
"Building
and
Construction."
The
last
time
the
City
updated
its
codes
was
in
2019,
to
adopt
the
2019
Edition,
which
also
introduced
the
centralization
of
the
Fire
Code
and
repealed
the
Wildland-Urban
Interface
Code.

The
California
Health
and
Safety
Code
Section
17958
requires
each
jurisdiction
in
the
State
adopt
the
most
recent
edition
of
the
California
Building
Standards
Code
within
180
days
of
publication.

The
2022
California
Building
Standards
Code
was
published
on
July
1,
2022
. The
Statewide
effective
date
established
by
the
. California
Building
Standards
Commission
for
the
2022
California
Building
Standards
Code
is
January
1,
2023.

If
it
is
not
adopted
by
the
jurisdiction,
then
it
has
the
force
of
law
180
days
after
publication.

The
State
codes
would
remain
in
effect
until
a
local
Ordinance
is
adopted.

When
adopting
the
California
Building
Standards
Code,
a jurisdiction
may
establish
more
restrictive
standards
reasonably
necessary
based
on
climatic,
geography
or
topographic
conditions
.

This
year,
the
California
Building
Standards
Commission
published
the
2022
California
Building
Standards
Code
which
is
based
on
the
2021
International
Building
Code,
the
2021
International
Residential
Code,
the
2021
International
Existing
Buildings
Code,
the
2021
International
Fire
Code,
the
2021
Uniform
Plumbing
Code,
the
2021
Uniform
Mechanical
Code,
and
the
2020
National
Electrical
Code. The
California
Fire
Code
(CFC)
is
the
State
of
California's
model
Fire
Code
with
its
administrative
authority
being
derived
from
the
Health
and
Safety
Code.

Since
its
inception,
the
CFC
has
become
internationally
recognized
for
its
role
in
affirmatively
addressing
the
issues
related
to
fire
prevention,
fire
protection,
firefighter
safety
and
public
safety.

The
Office
of
the
State
Fire
Marshal
is
responsible
for
publishing
the
code
text
complete
with
changes
reflecting
new
philosophies,
engineering
knowledge,
and
technological
applications.

Once
the
State
Fire
Marshal
adopts
the
CFC,
it
later
becomes
effective
throughout
the
State
of
California
for
all
cities,
counties
and
fire
districts.

In
addition,
local
adoption
is
necessary
in
order
to
amend
the
model
code
to
reflect
particular
challenges
unique
to
that
region
or
to
implement
revisions
necessary
to
provide
fire
protection
consistent
with
a
community's
ability
to
prevent,
respond
to,
or
mitigate
fire,
building
or
safety
hazards.

The
purpose
of
this
Ordinance
is
to
update
the
PMC
to
the
current
State-mandated
code
editions,
which
are
adopted
by
reference,
with
local
amendments.

The
Ordinance
(Attachment
A)
is
provided
in
strike
out/
underline
format
. The
City
can
enforce
the
State-adopted
codes
with
local
amendments
as
the
minimum
standards
for
construction.

The
2022
Edition
includes
the
adoption
of
the
following
California
Building
Standards
Codes
published
by
the
California
Building
Standards
Commission
and

Fire
Permit
and
Inspection
Fees
As
part
of
its
2022
Building
Standards
Code
adoption,
staff
determined
that
currently
adopted
Fire
inspection
fees
do
not
completely
align
with
the
new
Fire
Code
updates.

As
such,
staff
is
proposing
to
realign
current
Fire
inspection
fees
to
the
proposed
Fire
Code
updates.

This
realignment
primarily
includes
removing
fees
for
inspection
work
no
longer
required
by
code,
re-titling
existing
fees
to
match
language
now
used
in
the
Fire
Code
to
ensure
consistency,
and
adding
a few
fees
for
inspections
now
required
under
Fire
Code.

The
newly
added
permit
and
inspection
fee
categories
that
have
been
added
to
the
Master
Fee
Schedule
are
as
follows:

For
any
new
inspection
fee
categories
added,
staff
aligned
the
fee
amount
to
similar,
already
adopted,
Fire
Department
inspection
fees.

By
law,
the
City
may
not
adopt
fees
which
exceed
the
cost
of
providing
the
service.

Given
Fire
inspection
fees
were
last
adjusted
in
2009,
aligning
any
new
fees
to
the
Fire
inspection
fees
last
updated
in
2009
ensures
the
City
is
in
compliance
with
laws
governing
cost
recovery.
4 of
43 December 6, 2022, Item #12
Similar
to
other
fee
adjustments
approved
by
City
Council,
an
annual
fee
adjustment
using
published
industry
economic
factors
is
also
recommended
to
assist
with
cost
recovery
as
operational
costs
increase
over
time
.

Fire
inspection
fees
set
forth
in
Exhibit
1 to
the
Resolution
will
increase
each
July
commencing
July
1,
2023
by
the
annual
change
in
the
Consumer
Price
Index
(CPI)
-
All
Urban
Consumers,
San
Diego-Carlsbad
(2021
=
319.761
),
as
published
by
the
United
States
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
subject
to
rounding
to
the
nearest
whole
dollar.

As
part
of
the
Fiscal
Year
2022-23
Operating
Budget,
the
City
Council
authorized
staff
to
conduct
a
comprehensive
fee
study
for
Fire
plan
review,
permitting
and
inspection
fees,
Development
Services
plan
review,
permitting,
and
inspection
fees
and
other
similar
fee
types.

While
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
Fire
inspection
fees
are
not
a
comprehensive
fee
update,
they
do
provide
the
framework
to
support
the
fee
study
staff
will
commence
later
this
fiscal
year.

In
order
to
amend
the
fee
schedule,
it
is
necessary
for
the
City
Council
to
adopt
a
Resolution
authorizing
this
action.

Environmental
Review:

This
project
is
exempt
from
the
provIsIons
of
the
CEQA
pursuant
to
CEQA
Guidelines
Section
15061
(b)(3)
in
that
it
entails
the
adoption
of
State-mandated
Building
Codes,
with
minor
local
amendments,
and
permit
and
inspection
fee
updates
and
there
is
no
possibility
that
this
activity
will
have
an
effect
on
the
environment.

Fiscal
Impact:

None
with
the
adoption
of
the
code
amendments
. While
staff
can
not
quantify
the
fiscal
impacts
of
the
amendments
of
the
Fire
inspection
fees,
they
are
anticipated
to
be
minimal
at
this
time
since
staff
did
not
perform
a
comprehensive
fee
study,
but
rather
realigned
fees
to
the
new
Fire
code
using
previously
adopted
fees
as
references.

Dead End Road. A road that has only one point of vehicular ingress/egress, including cul de sacs and looped roads.

Defensible Space. An area either natural or man-made, where material capable of allowing a fire to spread unchecked has been treated, cleared or modified to slow the rate and intensity of an advancing wildfire and to create an area for fire suppression operations to occur. Distance measurements for defensible space shall be measured on a horizontal plane and in accordance with Section Four of the City of Poway Landscape and Irrigation Design Manual.

Fire Access Road or Fire Access Roadway. A road that provides fire apparatus access from a fire station to a facility, building or portion thereof. This is a general term inclusive of all other terms such as fire lane, public street, private street, parking lot lane, access roadway, and driveway.

Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction (FAHJ). The designated entity providing enforcement of fire regulations as they relate to planning, construction, and development. This entity for the City of Poway also provides fire suppression and other emergency services.

Fire Department. Any regularly organized fire department regularly charged with the responsibility of providing fire protection to the jurisdiction.

Fire Hazard. Anything that increases or could cause an increase of the hazard or menace of fire to a greater degree than customarily recognized as normal by persons in the public service regularly engaged in preventing, suppressing, or extinguishing fire; or anything or act, which could obstruct, delay, hinder, or interfere with the operations of the fire department; or egress of occupants in the event of fire.

Fire Protection Plan (FPP). The FPP is a document prepared for a specific project or development proposed in the wildland-urban interface fire area that describes ways to minimize and mitigate potential loss from wildfire exposure, with the purpose of reducing impact on the community's fire protection delivery system.

Fuel Break. An area, strategically located for fighting anticipated fires, where the native vegetation has been permanently modified or replaced so that fires burning into it can be more easily controlled. Fuel breaks divide fire-prone areas into smaller areas for easier fire control and to provide access for fire-fighting.

Fuel Modification Zone. A strip of land where combustible vegetation has been thinned or modified or both and partially or totally replaced with approved fire-resistant and/or irrigated plants to provide an acceptable level of risk from vegetation fires. Fuel modification reduces the radiant and convective heat on a structure and provides valuable defensible space for firefighters to make an effective stand against an approaching fire front.

Green Waste. Organic material that includes, but is not limited to, yard trimmings, plant waste, manure, untreated 'Nood wastes, paper products, and natural fiber products.

Hazardous Fire Area. Any geographic area mapped by the State or designated by a local jurisdiction as a moderate, high or very high fire hazard area or which the FAHJ has determined is a hazardous fire area, because the type and condition of vegetation, December 6, 2022, Item #12

EXHIBIT
A
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.

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
.
