SECTION II: Section 5-2 of Chapter 5 of the Cypress Municipal 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 2016
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, 2016 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 density apartments and
- 1 -
21.13 7
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 1511 are administrative
amendments of local discretion.
(b) Amendments: The following amendments are made to the California
Building Code, 2016 edition adopted by this Chapter:
