An ordinance of the city of Benicia adopting the 2007 Edition of the California Fire Code (2006 International Fire Code as amended by the State of California), regulating and governing the safeguarding of life and property from fire and explosion hazards arising from the storage, handling and use of hazardous substances, materials and devices, and from conditions hazardous to life or property in the occupancy of buildings and premises in the city of Benicia; providing for the issuance of permits and collection of fees therefor; repealing Chapter 8.28 BMC, and all other ordinances and parts of the ordinances in conflict therewith.
A. California Fire Code Adopted. That portion of the California Fire Code that imposes substantially the same requirements as are contained in the International Fire Code, 2006 Edition, published by the International Code Council and the California Building Standards Commission with errata, together with those portions of the International Fire Code, 2006 Edition, including Appendix Chapters 1, 4, B, C, D, E, F, and G, as modified and amended by this chapter, are adopted by this reference into this chapter, and are hereby collectively declared to be the fire code of the city of Benicia, in the state of California, regulating and governing the safeguarding of life and property from fire and explosion hazards arising from the storage, handling and use of hazardous substances, materials and devices, and from conditions hazardous to life or property in the occupancy of buildings and premises as herein provided; providing for the issuance of permits and collection of fees therefor; and each and all of the regulations, provisions, penalties, conditions and terms of said fire code on file in the office of the fire marshal are hereby referred to, adopted, and made a part hereof, as if fully set out in this chapter, with the additions, insertions, deletions and changes, if any, prescribed in BMC 8.28.060.
This code adopts changes, modifications and requirements not mandated by the California Fire Code (CFC) and International Fire Code (IFC) because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. The modifications are needed due to the following local conditions that exist in Benicia and on the following findings:
1. The city is geographically situated in an area subject to frequent periods of strong gusty winds from the southwest and north. In addition, temperatures during the summer months range from 80 to 100+ degrees. During this period, the relative humidity can fall below 20 percent. The city contains a significant amount of hilly undeveloped acreage designated as permanent open space. This wildland/urban interface, in conjunction with the hot, dry and windy climatic conditions, creates a hazardous situation that has led to extensive grass and brush fires in recent years. With more development extending into and adjacent to the open space areas, heat and wind-driven fires could lead to serious consequences.
2. The city is divided by several topographic features, including Interstates 680 and 780. As a result, the city is primarily divided into three parts. Traffic within and between the parts of the city is channeled onto several major thoroughfares that must cross freeways by way of underpasses and overpasses. In addition, it is bordered on two sides by the Carquinez Straits. Periodic heavy traffic congestion on the city’s major streets and interstates acts as a barrier to timely response for fire and emergency service vehicles. Because of traffic or accidents, there could be times that fire equipment could be sufficiently slowed as to increase the risk of substantial structural damage. With the possibility of fire services unable to guarantee rapid response to various sections of the city during these times, it is necessary to mitigate this problem by requiring built-in automatic fire protection systems which provide for early detection and suppression until the arrival of firefighting equipment and other emergency services.
3. The city is subject to ground tremors from seismic events on the San Andreas, Concord/Green Valley, Hayward, and/or other major active faults in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The Concord/Green Valley fault is immediately adjacent to the city to the north. Seismological evidence indicates the probability of an earthquake in the region capable of doing significant damage to buildings is high. A major seismic event would create a citywide demand on fire protection services, which would be beyond the response capability of the fire department. This problem can be lessened or mitigated by requiring initial fire control through the installation of automatic fire protection systems.
B. International Fire Code Adopted. That portion of the California Building Standards Code that imposes substantially the same requirements as are contained in the International Fire Code, 2006 Edition, published by the International Code Council and the California Building Standards Commission with errata, together with those portions of the International Fire Code, 2006 Edition, including Appendix Chapters 1, 4, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, as modified and amended by this chapter, are adopted by this reference into this chapter, and are hereby collectively declared to be the fire code of the city of Benicia for the purpose of regulating and governing the safeguarding of life, property and public welfare to a reasonable degree from the hazards of fire, hazardous materials release and explosion arising from the storage, use and handling of dangerous and hazardous materials, substances and devices, conditions hazardous to life or property in the occupancy and use of buildings and premises, the operation, installation, construction, location, safeguarding and maintenance of attendant equipment, the installation and maintenance of adequate means of egress not provided for by the building code, and providing for the issuance of permits and collection of fees thereof.
