Chapter 8.08 - CITY OF VICTORVILLE FIRE CODE
8.08.010 Findings.
(a) Findings. The Victorville City Council hereby finds and determines:
(1) That the International Code Council (ICC) is a private organization, which has been in existence for a period of at least three years. (2) That the International Fire Code (IFC), 2021 Edition, published by said organization, is a nationally recognized compilation of proposed rules, regulations, and standards of said organization.
(3) That said International Fire Code has been printed and published as a code in book form within the meaning of Section 50022.2 et seq., of the California Government Code.
(4) That the California Fire Code (CFC), also known as the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 9, a portion of the “California Building Standards Code” as defined in the “California Building Standards Law” commencing with Section 18901 of the California Health and Safety Code, is assigned to the California Building Standards Commission, which by law is responsible for approving all building standards within the state of California. The 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code incorporates by reference the 2021 Edition of the International Fire Code, with necessary California amendments.
(5) That certain amendments to the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code are necessary and desirable for the City due to the following local climatic, geological, and/or topographical conditions in order to provide sufficient an effective protection of life, health, and property:
(i) Climatic. The City is located on the western edge of the Mojave Desert and is therefore subject to prolonged periods of high temperatures, low humidity, and high winds. These conditions create an environment, which allows for easy ignition and rapid spread of unwanted fires. During such periods, the limited available firefighting resources may have great difficulty in controlling fires in structures not provided with built-in fire protection systems and features.
(ii) Geological. The City is in a potentially high activity seismic zone. After a large seismic event, the potential for multiple fires occurring simultaneously will exhaust available firefighting resources. Built -in fire protection will assist in extinguishing or controlling fires in larger structures, thus increasing the availability of firefighting resources after seismic activity.
(iii) Topographical. The City is situated in the high desert, approximately two thousand five hundred to three thousand feet above sea level. The City is isolated from the population centers of the Los Angeles basin by the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains. The only access to timely mutual aid response is through the Cajon Pass. In the event of a major earthquake in the pass, there will be no way for assistance to reach the City from the south and west. In addition, the City covers an area of seventy square miles, which in many cases results in extended response times. Built-in fire protection systems will assist in extinguishing or controlling incipient fires, which would otherw ise grow beyond the capabilities of local fire resources.
(b) These facts and findings are made pursuant to Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 of the California Health and Safety Code and in accordance with the requirements of the California Building Standards Commission.
8.08.020 Fire Code adopted.

(b) When used in this chapter, "CFC" means the 2022 California Fire Code, with such amendments as adopted by the State of California and the 2021 International Fire Code, as adopted, and amended in this chapter.
(c) Where no applicable standards or requirements are set forth in the above- mentioned codes, or contained within other laws, codes, regulations, or ordinances adopted by the City, compliance with applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) or other nationally recognized fire safety standards as are approved shall be deemed as prima facie evidence of compliance with the intent of this chapter.

Chapter 8.08 - CITY OF VICTORVILLE FIRE CODE
8.08.010 Findings.
(a) Findings. The Victorville City Council hereby finds and determines:
(1) That the International Code Council (ICC) is a private organization, which has been in existence for a period of at least three years. (2) That the International Fire Code (IFC), 20152021 Edition, published by said organization, is a nationally recognized compilation of proposed rules, regulations, and standards of said organization.
(3) That said International Fire Code has been printed and published as a code in book form within the meaning of Section 50022.2 et seq., of the California Government Code.
(4) That certain amendments to the published code are necessary and desirable for the city
(4) That the California Fire Code (CFC), also known as the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 9, a portion of the “California Building Standards Code” as defined in the “California Building Standards Law” commencing with Section 18901 of the California Health and Safety Code, is assigned to the California Building Standards Commission, which by law is responsible for approving all building standards within the state of California. The 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code incorporates by BLACKLINE COMPARISON SHOWING CHANGES TO TITLE 8 (FIRE)
PROPOSED BY ORDINANCE NO. 2433
reference the 2021 Edition of the International Fire Code, with necessary California amendments.
(5) That certain amendments to the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code are necessary and desirable for the City due to the following local climatic, geological, and/or topographical conditions in order to provide sufficient an effective protection of life, health and property:
(i) Climatic. The cityCity is located on the western edge of the Mojave Desert and is therefore subject to prolonged periods of high temperatures, low humidity and high winds. These conditions create an environment, which allows for easy ignition and rapid spread of unwanted fires. During such periods, the limited available firefighting resources may have great difficulty in controlling fires in structures not provided with built-in fire protection systems and features. (ii) Geological. The cityCity is in a potentially high activity seismic zone. After a large seismic event, the potential for multiple fires occurring simultaneously will exhaust available firefighting resources. Built-in fire protection will assist in extinguishing or controlling fires in larger structures, thus increasing the availability of firefighting resources after seismic activity.
(iii) Topographical. The cityCity is situated in the high desert, approximately two thousand five hundred to three thousand feet above sea level. The cityCity is isolated from the population centers of the Los Angeles basin by the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains. The only access to timely mutual aid response is through the Cajon Pass. In the event of a major earthquake in the pass, there will be no way for assistance to reach the cityCity from the south and west. In addition, the cityCity covers an area of seventy square miles, which in many cases results in extended response times. Built-in fire protection systems will assist in extinguishing or controlling incipient fires, which would otherwise grow beyond the capabilities of local fire resources.
(b) These facts and findings are made pursuant to Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 of the California Health and Safety Code and in accordance with the requirements of the California Building Standards Commission.
8.08.020 Fire Code adopted.
(a) One copy of the 20192022 California Fire Code and Appendices, known as the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 9; and the 20182021 International Fire Code, published by the International Code Council, with California amendments, having been filed in the office of Victorville City Clerk; said code and appendicesAppendices adopted by the state, as well as Appendices B, BB, C, CC, D, E, F, H, and I, are designated by the city councilCity Council and adopted by reference as the City of Victorville Fire Code, along with those additions, amendments and deletions as set forth in this chapter or otherwise in the Victorville Municipal Code.

The Building Division of the Development Department is hereby created and the official in charge shall be known as the Building Official.
Sec. 16-5.01.080: *Change*
Development Impact Fees
(a) The purpose of this section is to continue to provide for the orderly, fair, and fiscally sound development of property within the City to promote the health, safety and welfare of its residents and to comply with the provisions of California Government Code section 66000 et seq. (the “Mitigation Fee Act”), or any applicable successor statutes. (b) The City Council has previously established and charged development impact fees as a condition of approval of a development project for the purpose of defraying the cost of public facilities (including public improvements, public services and community amenities) resulting from the increased demand for public facilities reasonably related to the development project. (c) Development impact fees are to be charged and paid on all development projects within the City in accordance with the most recent City Council resolutions making the findings required by the Mitigation Fee Act and adopting the development impact fee study(ies), capital improvement plan, development impact fee master fee schedule, and development impact fees and capacity charges Council policy.
(d)Development impact fees collected by the City shall be deposited, accounted for, reported on, and expended in accordance with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act and said City Council resolutions.
(a) Purpose. In order to implement the goals and objectives of the City General Plan (i.e., circulation, safety, parks and recreation elements) and to mitigate the overburdening of existing capital facilities such as the City's roadway, park and fire systems of facilities which are caused by new development in the City, certain public roads, parks and fire stations must be constructed. The City Council has determined, on the basis of the City General Plan and a report entitled "Fiscal Impacts of Development" dated November, 1988, and subsequent addenda dated May 1, 19 and 20, 1989, that a development impact fee is needed to supplement an existing capital facilities fee in order to finance these public improvements and to pay for the development's fair share of the construction costs of these improvements.
In establishing the fee described in this Section, the City Council has found the fee to be consistent with the City's General Plan and, pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.2, has considered the effects of the fee with respect to the City's housing needs as established in the housing element of the General Plan.
(b) Establishment of Development Impact Fee. A development impact fee is calculated at the time of building permit issuance and collected not later than the time of final inspection for development in the city to pay for roadways, parks, fire and public safety facilities. For residential projects requesting early activation of gas and electric utilities, these fees are to be paid prior to the release of said utilities. The City Council shall, in a council resolution, set forth the specific amount of the fee, describe the benefit and impact area on which the development impact fee is imposed, refer to specific public improvements to be financed, the estimated cost of these facilities, and the reasonable relationship between this fee and the various types of new developments and set forth the time for payment. On a biennial basis, the City Council shall review this fee to determine whether the fee amounts are reasonably related to the impacts of developments and whether the described public facilities are still needed.
Ordinance 2342 - PLAN22-00031 Amendments November 15, 2022
(c) Limited Use of Fees. The revenues raised by payment of this fee shall be placed in a separate and special account and such revenues, along with any interest earnings on that account, shall be used solely to:
(1) Pay for the City's future construction of facilities described in the resolution enacted pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, or to reimburse the City for those described or listed facilities constructed by the City with funds advanced by the City from other sources; or
(2) Reimburse developers who have been required or permitted by subsection (d) of this Section, to install such listed facilities which are oversized with supplemental size, length or capacity.
(d) Developer Construction of Facilities. Whenever a developer is required as a condition of approval of a development permit to construct a public facility described in the resolution adopted pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section which facility is determined by the City to have supplemental size, length of capacity over that needed for the impacts of that development, and construction of the facilities network, a reimbursement agreement with the developer and a credit against the fee, which would otherwise be charged pursuant to this Section on the development project, shall be offered. The reimbursement amount shall not include the portion of the improvement needed to provide services or mitigate the need for the facility or the burdens created by the development. (e) Fee Adjustments. A developer of any project subject to the fee described in subsection (b) of this Section may apply to the City Council for a reduction or adjustment to that fee, or a waiver of that fee, based upon the absence of any reasonable relationship or nexus between the development and the impacts mitigated by the construction of the public improvements financed by this fee. The application shall be made in writing and filed with the City Clerk not later than ten days prior to the public hearing on the development permit for the project, or (2) if no development permit is required, at the time of the filing of the request for a building permit. The application shall state in detail the factual basis for the claim of waiver, reduction or adjustment. The City Council shall consider the application at the public hearing on the permit application or at a separate hearing held within sixty days after the filing of the fee adjustment application, whichever is later.
The decision of the City Council shall be final. If a reduction, adjustment or waiver is granted, any change in use within the project shall invalidate the waiver, adjustment or reduction of the fee.

Background:
On October 19, 2021, City Council awarded a construction contract to Sully-Miller Contracting Co., in the amount of $6,870,000.00 for the Seventh Avenue and Arrowhead Drive Road Improvement Project. This project was designed in-house by Engineering Department staff. The purpose of this project was to reconstruct and widen Seventh Ave. and Arrowhead Dr. from Bear Valley Road to Green Tree Blvd., two miles in length, with sidewalk and bike lanes. Please refer to Attachment A, a location map.
The project scope included full depth reconstruction of parts of the existing road pavement and widening to include additional lanes with new asphalt concrete, compacted base, and subbase soils. A new 12-inch water line was constructed in Seventh Ave. to improve water pressure in a low-pressure area as part of a larger future project. Additional water improvements included the replacement of water services to existing residences, and the installation of more fire hydrants. Other work included placement of new concrete curb and gutter, drive approaches, continuous sidewalk on both sides of the roads, and intersection curb ramps to comply with current City standards.
Final traffic striping of both road segments included two through lanes in each direction, a center two-way left turn lane, and continuous bike lanes on both sides of the roads.
However, a quarter-mile segment of Arrowhead Dr. between Yates Rd. and Talpa St. is too narrow to accommodate a center two-way left turn lane and bike lanes.
Utility work performed by others in association with this project included relocating overhead power lines and communication cables underground between Sitting Bull St. and Evansdale Way, north and south of Nisqualli Rd. This work was performed by Southern California Edison utilizing Rule 20A funds.
Discussion:
The project was completed at a final contract price of $6,518,227.18. The project was substantially completed on August 29, 2022. The one-year warranty on the improvements began the date the work was accepted as substantially complete. Per California Public Contract Code § 7107(c), within 60 days after the recordation of the Notice of Completion, the City can release the final retention monies withheld on this project, provided there are no claims or unreleased liens against the contract.
This project aligns with Goal E, Strategy 1 in the 2020 Strategic Plan, “Invest in Infrastructure” and “Implement the City’s Capital Improvement Program to meet community needs.”
Staff recommends that the City Council accept as complete and approve the Notice of Completion (Attachment B) for the Seventh Avenue and Arrowhead Drive Road Improvement project.
Staff remains available for any questions that City Council may have. 2 8

The City shall notify Applicant of such increased costs and give the Applicant the option to either terminate this Contract or pay the City an additional Cost Deposit. Such election shall be made by the Applicant not later than the twentieth (20th) business day after dispatch of a written notice by City. A non -response after this notice period lapses shall be deemed Applicant’s agreement to pay the additional Cost Deposit.
14. Change Orders and Relocations. All standard design or construction changes made in the field by the City, which affect the charges to Applicant (“Change Order(s)”), will be made using a Contract Change Order form to be supplied by City.

Item Number: 9
City Council / Board of Directors
Consent Calendar
Meeting of: December 6, 2022
Submitted By:
Brian Gengler, City Engineer
Subject:
Substitute of Surveyor of Record for Tract Map No. 18100 Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council approve Ludwig Engineering as the Substitute Surveyor for Tract Map No. 18100.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
Strategic Goals:
This item aligns with Goal E, Strategy 1 in the Strategic Plan, “Invest in Infrastructure” and “Implement the City’s Capital Improvement Program to meet community needs.” Although this project is not a City Capital Improvement Project, the same concept can be utilized in helping to guide or facilitate the orderly completion of private development projects as a component of meeting community needs.
Background:
Tract Map No. 18100 (Tract 18100) is a 73-lot, single family subdivision named Diamond Ridge III, located at the southwest corner of Sunset Road and Mesa Linda Street. Please refer to Attachment A, a Vicinity Map. The original developer, Tandis Homes Buena Vista Pointe LP (Tandis Homes), recorded the map after entering into a Subdivision Agreement and posting securities for the required public improvements in 2008. Tandis did not grade the tract or construct any of the required public improvements or any homes. FH II, LLC, a California limited liability company, also known as Frontier Homes, purchased Tract 18100 in March of 2021. As a result of this purchase, Frontier Homes entered into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement and provided substitute securities in accordance with Victorville Municipal Code §17.64.060. Upon receipt of the new securities, the existing Subdivision Agreement and securities provided by Tandis were released. 2 8
7 2
Discussion:
Tandis Homes owned the property up until June of 2011, when the property became subject to foreclosure. Since that time, the property changed ownership several times before Frontier Homes purchased it in March of 2021. Frontier Homes has informed the City that Ludwig Engineering sent a certified letter to Mr. Brian K. Mickelson, the Surveyor of Record for Tract 18100, requesting a release of obligation for final monumentation to complete the monumentation requirements. Mr. Mickelson responded by stating that he is still a current licensed surveyor, was never paid for the Tract 18100 design work, and would need some compensation before a release letter was sent to the City. After learning this, Frontier Homes reached out to Mr. Mickelson by phone and email to offer him the final monumentation work. Frontier was willing to cancel Ludwig Engineering’s contract for monumentation, so the surveyor of record can fulfil his responsibility for setting monuments. Mr. Mickelson refused Frontier Homes’ offer. Please refer to Attachment B, the Proposal Communication.
California Government Code Section 66498 of the California Subdivision Map Act reads as follows: “In the event of the death, disability or retirement from practice of the engineer or surveyor charged with the responsibility for setting monuments, or in the event of his refusal to set such monuments, the legislative body may direct the county surveyor or city engineer, or such engineer or surveyor as it may select, to set such monuments. If the original engineer or surveyor is replaced by another, the former may, by letter to the county surveyor or city engineer, release his obligation to set the final monuments to the surveyor or engineer who replaced him. When the monuments are so set, the substitute engineer or surveyor shall amend any map filed pursuant to this division in accordance with the provisions of Sections 66469 to 66472, inclusive. All provisions of this article relating to payment shall apply to the services performed by the substituted engineer or surveyor.”
The language shown in bold above applies to this situation. Since the surveyor of record, Mr. Mickelson, is refusing to set such monuments, staff recommends that the City Council, as the legislative body, approves to appoint Ludwig Engineering as the substitute surveyor of record as requested by Frontier Homes. If approved, Frontier Homes will be required to file a Certificate of Corrections indicating the substitute Surveyor of Record and set the required monuments.
Engineering Department staff consulted with the City Attorney’s office regarding this application of this California Government Code Section for this particular situation. Staff and the City Attorney’s office are in agreement with this recommendation.
Staff remains available to answer any questions the City Council may have.

Subject: Re: Tract 18100 - Diamond Ridge III - Victorville, CA - Monumentation Stratos‐
I appreciate your offer to set the required monuments, but perhaps you misunderstood my situation.
I was never compensated for any of the Field Work and Map preparation, and I seek that compensation.
Still trying to locate my unpaid Invoices for all that work.

Good Morning Brian‐
Thank you for taking my call yesterday. After having had a chance to speak to my manager, I wanted to reach out an offer you the opportunity to set the monuments for Tract 18100. I have attached Ludwig’s proposal that shows their scope of work. See, under “Schedule B” line “n.” We contracted Ludwig to set the Centerline Monuments for $5,850.00 and, if you are interested, we would like to offer you the scope at that price. The scope is listed as “Set street centerline and boundary monuments as shown on the final map after the streets are constructed and prepare tie sheets.” Please let me know your thoughts and if you are interested in taking on the monumentation on this tract for $5,850.00.
I look forward to your response.
Thank you,
