OF PLANNING Date: BRAD REMP, CBO BUILDING/BUILDING OFFICIAL 3/2/99 REPORT OF CONDmONS AND APPLICABLE CODE SECTIONS: (SEE ATTACHED REPORT) FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BUILDING DEPAR1MENT: (SEE ATTACHED REPORT) SUMMARY OF ACTION: Date of Action: REVISED JI9S (B-FORMS:\APPEALS) Addendum to Application for a Code Modification or Use of An Alternate Material or Method of Construction This application is submitted to the Board of Appeals on behalf of Gateway Town Center, LP to appeal Ordinance No. 2643 Section 15.36,090, Fire Extinguishing Systems- Standpipe Requirements-Table 1004-A Amended (attached herein as Exhibits "A" & "B"), This Section amends Table I 004-A of Article 10 of the 1994 Unifonn Fire Code wherein standpipes are only required on sprinklered buildings of 4 stories or more but less than 150' in height. Section 15.36,090 requires standpipes on "occupancies 3 stories or more but less than 150' in height, except Group R, Division 3." Not only is Section 15,36,090 inconsistent with the 4 story requirement of the 1994 Unifonn Fire Code, but it is also inconsistent with Section 904,6,2 and Table 9-A, Standpipe Requirements, of the 1994 Unifonn Building Code (attached herein as Exhibits "c" & "D") which also only requires standpipes on buildings of 4 stories or more, The fact that all units are sprinklered as per the NFP A 13-R system, the standard for residential occupancies up to and including 4 stories, and that the size of the buildings do not lend themselves to fighting a fire from within utilizing a 2112" hose, and that the fue trucks can park as close as 20' from the buildings, and that the hydrants are installed at required distances, and that the alarms are sounded by the activation of the sprinkler system, all indicate that the installation of standpipes appear to be redundant and unnecessary. Wenners Multi-Family Corporation, our General Contractor, has either completed or is under construction on projects totaling 1,951 units in Northern California (Newark, Dublin), Orange County (Rancho Santa Margarita, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo), and San Diego, All of these municipalities adhere to the Unifonn Fire Code and the Unifonn Building Code, and none require standpipes in 3 story apartment buildings. Requiring standpipes on 3 story buildings does not therefore appear to be standard in the industry. Gateway Town Center, LP therefore respectfully requests that our standpipe requirement be held in compliance with both the 1994 Unifonn Fire Code and the Unifonn Building Code, and that we be excluded from Section 15.36.090 ofChula Vista Ordinance 2643 and that our standpipes on our 3 story buildings be eliminated, :-.:,f:~'~4;¿<::~:~"_' _. _ -", ,,:,-,"-:_-. __'c- Ordina'nce No. 264:: ,:'."i:: .'. ---,_ ",;' , - Page':: -.'''''. ~ . ~.'.'.:.~~:~' .' ; 15.36.070 Fire Extinguishing Systems.

The change will do away with requiring Standpipes in structures three stories but less than 150 feet in height. ----------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Appeals grant the requested change, requiring standpipes in structures four stories or more but less than 150 feet in height. BACKGROUND: During the adoption of the 1991 Uniform Fire Code, the Fire Marshal made an amendment to Article 10, The amendment made, in the Chula Vista Municipal Code, are 15,36,090 (Fire Extinguishing Systems - Standpipe Requirements - Table 1004-A amended). It reads as follows; the category of Group 2, under the column labeled "Occupancy", Table 10-A of Article 10, of the UFC as it applies to the City of Chula Vista, is hereby amended to read; 2, Occupancies 3 stories or more but less than 150 feet in height, except Group R, Division 3, DISCUSSION: During the 1991 Uniform Fire Code adoption process, Article 10 of the Uniform Fire Code was amended locally to require standpipes in any structure three stories or more but less than 150 in height, except in Group R, Division 3, When the 1994 Fire Code was adopted, the Fire Department retained the amendment as written during the 1991 adoption, The amendment change was made by the previous Fire Marshal, who believed that the staffing and resources were limited when advancing lines above the first floor. The Municipal Code amendment was implemented to mitigate a perceived tactical limitation. This limitation has not been realized within our department. Our engine companies have the resources and abilities to advance fire-fighting lines to the third floor without any undo hardship on the fire fighters, There have been no noticeable time delays when suppressing fires above ground level, especially when advancing lines to the third floor. The Municipal Code amendment should have been changed during the adoption of the 1994 Uniform Fire Code, This was an oversight on the Fire Department's part, I have reviewed the Municipal and Fire Codes and believe it is time to eliminate this part of the Municipal Code, There are no hard facts, which support the need for the Municipal Code amendment. We plan to adopt the 1997 Uniform Fire Code as written, which will do away with the current Municipal Code amendment. By eliminating the Municipal Code amendment, we will come into line with most of the fire departments within San Diego County. The requirement, for standpipes in the ] 994 and ] 997 Unifonn Fire Code, is standpipes will be instalied in occupancies 4 stories or more but less than] 50 £1, in height and have exempted occupancies Group R, Division 3. When trying to advance fire-fighting hose- lines above the third floor it becomes very difficult for fire fighters. The time increases drastically and the efficiency is almost none, CONCLUSION: When the Fire Department adopts the 1997 Uniform Fire Code in July, we normally will not require standpipes in structures less than four stories in height. This is the recognized standard within the industry, By allowing the ordinance change at this time, the City of Chula Vista will become consistent with most other fire agencies within San Diego County. As the Fire Marshal, I highly recommend that the Board of Appeals allow the requested change.
