amendments to the California Fire Code, and shall read as follows:
(c) Section 5-3.030 Amendments and Findings.
FINDINGS
I. Climatic Conditions
A. The jurisdiction of Cypress is located in a semi -arid Mediterranean type
climate. It annually experiences extended periods of high temperatures with
little or no precipitation. Hot, dry (Santa Ana) winds, which may reach
speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater, are also common to the area. These
climatic conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and common
building materials. Frequent periods of drought and low humidity add to the
fire danger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires
(conflagration). In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings,
these fires are also prone to disrupt utility services throughout the County.
Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, street lights and
utility poles will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene.
B. The climate alternates between extended periods of drought and brief
flooding conditions. Flood conditions may affect the Orange County fire
Authority's ability to respond to a fire or emergency condition. Floods also
disrupt utility services to buildings and facilities within the County.
C. Water demand in this densely populated area far exceeds the quantity
supplied by natural precipitation; and although the population continues to
grow, the already -taxed water supply does not. California is projected to
increase in population by nearly 10 million over the next quarter of a century
with 50 percent of that growth centered in Southern California. Due to
storage capacities and consumption, and a limited amount of rainfall future
water allocation is not fully dependable. This necessitates the need for
additional and on-site fire protection features.
D. These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of
even small fires originating in high-density housing or vegetation. These
fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire
protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire
protection features will supplement normal fire department response by
providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing
and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire sprinkler systems
will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75
percent.
II. Topographical conditions
A. Natural; slopes of 15 percent or greater generally occur throughout the
foothills of Orange County. The elevation change cause by the hills creates
the geological foundation on which communities with Orange County is built
and will continue to build. With much of the populated flatlands already built
upon, future growth will occur steeper slopes and greater constraints in
terrain.
B. Traffic and circulation congestion is an artificially created, obstructive
topographical condition, which is common throughout Orange County.
C. These topographical conditions combine to create a situation, which places
fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk, and makes it
necessary to provide automatic on-site fire -extinguishing systems and other
protection measures to protect occupants and property.
III. Geological Conditions
The Orange County region is a densely populated area that has buildings constructed
over and near a vast and complex network of faults that are believed to be capable of
producing future earthquakes similar or greater in size that the 1994 Northridge and
the 1971 Sylmar earthquakes. Earthquake faults run along the northeast and
southwest boundaries of Orange County. The Newport -Inglewood Fault, located
within Orange County was the source of the destructive 1933 Long Beach earthquake
(6.3 magnitude) which took 120 lives and damaged buildings in an area from Laguna
Beach to Marina Del Rey to Whittier. In December 1989, another earthquake occurred
in the jurisdiction of Irvine at an unknown fault line. Regional planning for reoccurrence
412
of earthquakes is recommended by the state of California, Department of
Conservation.
A. Previous earthquakes have been accompanied by disruption of traffic flow
and fires. A severe seismic event has the potential to negatively impact any
rescue or fire suppression activities because it is likely to create obstacles
similar to those indicated under the high wind section above. With the
probability of strong aftershocks there exists a need to provide increased
protection for anyone on upper floors of buildings. The October 17, 1989,
Santa Cruz earthquake resulted in one major fire in the Marina District (San
Francisco). When combined with the 34 other fires locally and over 500
responses, the department was taxed to its fullest capabilities. The Marina
fire was difficult to contain because mains supplying water to the district
burst during the earthquake. This situation creates the need for both
additional fire protection and automatic on-site fire protection for building
occupants. State Department of Conservation noted in their 1988 report
(Planning Scenario on a Major Earthquake on the Newport -Inglewood Fault
Zone, page 59), "unfortunately, barely meeting the minimum earthquake
standards of building codes places a building on the verge of being legally
unsafe."
B. Road circulation features located throughout the County also make
amendments reasonably necessary. Located through the County are major
roadways, highways and flood control channels that create barriers and
slow response times. Hills, slopes, street and storm drain design
accompanies with occasional heavy rainfall, causes roadway flooding and
landslides and at times may make an emergency access route impassable.
There are areas in Orange County that naturally have extended emergency
response times that exceed the 5 minute goal.
C. Soils throughout the County possess corrosive properties that reduce the
expected usable life of water services when metallic pipes in contact with
soils are utilized.
D. Portions of the County contain active or former oil production fields. These
areas contain a variety of naturally occurring gasses, liquids and
vapors. These compounds present toxicity or flammability hazards to
building occupants. Evaluation of these hazards and the risks they pose to
development is necessary implement appropriate mitigation.
Due to the topographical conditions of sprawling development separated by
waterways and narrow and congested streets and the expected
infrastructure damage inherent in seismic zone described above, it is
prudent to rely on automatic fire sprinkler systems to mitigate extended fire
department response time and keep fires manageable with reduced fire flow
(water) requirements for a given structure. Additional fire protection is also
justified to match the current resources of firefighting equipment and
personnel within the Orange County Fire Authority.
