Ordinance 13-16I
ORDINANCE NO. 2013-16
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EASTV ALE,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE 2013 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE WITH
APPENDICES AND AMENDMENTS THERETO AND AMENDING IN FULL TITLE
110, CHAPTER 110.20 OF THE EASTVALE MUNICIPAL CODE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EASTV ALE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council declares as follows:
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting on October 23, 2013, the Eastvale City Council
conducted a public hearing and received and considered oral and written testimony concerning
the proposed code change; and
WHEREAS, the California Health and Safety Code requires cities and counties to adopt
building standards that are consistent with those contained in the California Code of Regulations
Title 24 ; and
WHEREAS, modifications and/or amendments to Chapter 110.20 of the Eastvale
Municipal Code requires findings stating that they are found reasonably necessary because of
climatic, geological or topographical conditions in the City of Eastvale; and
WHEREAS, State law allows local governments to amend California Model Codes,
providing the amendments are more restrictive and are necessary in order to provide the highest
level of life-safety standards and requires that local governments enforce these code editions.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Eastvale finds as follows:
A. California Health & Safety Code, Section 17958.5 and 18941.5 authorize cities
and counties to modify the California Building Standards Code by adopting more restrictive
standards and modifications if such standards and modifications are accompanied by express
findings that they are reasonably necessary because oflocal climatic, geological or topographical
conditions.
B. The City Council of the City of Eastvale finds that these local climatic, geological
or topographical conditions include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. The City is subject to relatively low amounts of precipitation, very low
humidity levels and extremely high temperatures. These climatic conditions are
conducive to the spread of drought conditions and fires. For example, during July,
August and September, temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. During the
same months humidity is usually less than 40% and measurements of less than 10% are
{00007115.DOCX VI}
I
D
l
not uncommon. These recordings have been documented by the Riverside County Flood
Control Dishict and the National Climatic Data Center.
2. The City is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly referred to as
"Santa Ana Winds," which can reach speeds of up to 95 miles per hour. In addition, the
convergence of the marine shore air flow and the desert air flow create steady winds on a
daily basis.
3. The City is also subject to moderately strong shaking and surface ruptures
from seismic activity in the area. The geologic and seismic setting of the City is
dominated by the Chino and Elsinore earthquake faults along the southwest portion of the
City and a diversity of bedrock and alluvial soils that may significantly affect the
intensity of earthquake shaking. The Elsinore fault is located a short distance southwest
of the City, while the Chino fault, which is sub-parallel to the Elsinore fault, is located
just outside the City's southwestern boundary. Of the two faults, the Chino fault has the
greater potential for surface rupture leading to structural damage of structures in the City.
Moreover, the thin alluvial soils found in parts of the City contribute to a moderately high
potential for liquefaction in certain areas.
C. The aforementioned geologic and climatic conditions have also contributed to the
loss or damage of 450 homes in the Bel Air Fire of 1961, 187 homes in the Chatsworth Fire of
1970, 50 homes in the Mandeville Canyon Fire of 1978, 262 homes in the Anaheim Fire of 1982,
71 homes in the Baldwin Hills Fire of 1985, 33 homes in the Porter Ranch Fire of 1988, 162
homes in the Santa Barbara Fire of 1990, 3300 homes in the Oakland Fire of 1991, hundreds of
acres in the nearby Chino Hills State Park Fire of 1997 and most recently, the Corona Triangle I
Freeway Complex Fire November 15, 2008 burned 318 properties, burned 30,305 plus acres,
destroyed 187 single/multiple family homes, damaged 127 homes, damaged or destroyed four
commercial properties.
D. These fires, as well as the Whittier Earthquake of 1987 and Northridge
Earthquake of 1994, have resulted in the tragic loss oflives along with enormous property losses.
E. For practicality and cost reasons, many new structures are built of wood (Type V)
construction. Some existing structures also have wood shake roofs. The potential for a
conflagration exists due to the design and density of current structures.
F. Electrical supply and telephone communication failures occur due to high winds
as well as other reasons. Water supply pumps and early notification of a fire cannot always be
counted on.
G. Based upon the recommendations of the Fire Chief, the City Council finds that the
proposed amendments to the 2013 California Fire Code ("amendments") are more restrictive
than the standards adopted by the California Building Standards Commission, would decrease
the potential incidence of property damage, injury and death due to fires and earthquakes, and
are reasonable and necessary to mitigate the aforementioned local climatic, geologic or
topographical conditions.
