SECTION II: Section 5 -2 of Chapter 5 of the Cypress City Code hereby is
amended to read as follows:
SECTION 5 -2 California Building Codes - Amendments, additions and deletions.
(a) Findings: The following amendments and modifications to the 2007
editions of the California Building Codes are hereby found to be reasonably
necessary due to consideration of specific local climatic, geological or
topographical conditions as follows:
CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, 2007 EDITION
1. Climatic Condition: Hot, dry and strong Santa Ana winds directly
impact the City of Cypress, particularly during the fall and spring
seasons. The winds pose a substantial threat in contributing to the
rapid spread of fire, particularly within the City, where there are high
1
404
density apartments and condominium complexes. The condition
necessitates an increased level of fire protection and on -site,
automatic fire sprinklers systems.
2. Climatic Condition: The City of Cypress is located in a semi -arid,
Mediterranean climate, which predisposes all fuels, including wood
shingles, to rapid ignition of fire. Exacerbated by the condition of the
high winds, the danger of rapid spread of fire creates the need for
additional fire protection measures.
3. Geographic Condition: The City of Cypress lies, geographically,
within Seismic Zone No. 4. A zone 4 region evidences the existence
of fault lines, which are susceptible to seismic activity. This condition
can impede fire department activity to mitigate damages. Therefore,
there exists a need for both additional fire protection measures and
automatic, on -site protection for property occupants.
4. Geographic and Topographic Conditions: Traffic and circulation
congestion presently exist in Orange County and place fire
department response time to emergencies at risk. This condition
makes the need for automatic, on -site fire protection for property
occupants necessary.
Placement of multiple- occupancy buildings, location of arterial roads,
and fire department staffing constraints due to revenue - limiting state
legislation have made it difficult for the fire department to locate
additional fire stations and provide manpower sufficient to
concentrate fire apparatus and personnel to control fires in high
density apartment or condominium complexes. This condition
creates the need for on -site automatic fire sprinkler systems.
5. Modification to Section 105.2, 115 and 1505 are administrative
amendments of local discretion.
6. Local fire service manpower and equipment limitations warrant the
need to limit height of the level where the public might await rescue
and also to create an emergency evacuation facility. (Section 403 -
910 amendments)
