At their meeting of August 15, 1977, the Board of Appeals and Advisors recommended
. adoption of the Uniform Fire Code, 1976 Edition, and appendix.which would replace

From the facts presented to the Board of Appeals, the Board finds that public
necessity, safety, convenience and general welfare require that the Uniform fire
Code, 1976 Edition, be adopted by the City Council as the ordinance regulating
fire and life safety in the City.

definition changes, with the exception of the following:
Article 13 - Section 13.208 - This section refers to access by fire apparatus.
Minimum unobstructed roadway width is now twenty feet. (20' ): :htinimum�vertical •
clearance will be thirteen feet, six inches (13'6") instead of twelve feet (12' ).
Article 14 - Section 14.208 - This section now requires the installation of an
approved •automatic fire extinguishing system in all paint spray booths installed
after the adoption of this code.
This ordinance will supersede Ordinance Nos. 1598, 1113 and 928, therefore, they
are being repealed.
