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 2019
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, 2019 EDITION
1. Climatic Condition: Hot, dry and strong Santa Ana winds directly
- 1 -
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
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, 2019 edition adopted by this Chapter:
