RESOLUTION NO. 07-100
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA MAKING EXPRESS FINDINGS AND
DETERMINATIONS THAT MODIFICATIONS TO THE
CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, 2007 EDITION, ARE
REASONABLY NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LOCAL
CLIMATIC, GEOLOGICAL AND/OR TOPOGRAPHICAL
CONDITIONS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES FIND AND
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Recitals
A. Certain building standards and other related model codes are adopted by
the State of California in the California Building Standards Code and become applicable
in the City unless amended by the City pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section
17958.
B. Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 authorizes the City Council to
make reasonably necessary changes or modifications to the State adopted building
codes, including the California Fire Code, based on certain local conditions.
C. The Fire Chief of the City of Temecula has determined and recommended
that the modifications to the California Fire Code, 2007 Edition, contained herein, are
reasonably necessary due to local conditions.
D. Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires the City Council to
make express findings of the necessity for modifications to the building standards
contained in the California Fire Code, 2007 Edition.
2. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby expressly finds that the
amendments and modifications to the California Fire Code, 2007 Edition, contained in
Ordinance No. 07-16 and concerning the following general provisions: Administration
(subsection A), Definitions (subsection B), General Precautions Against Fire (subsection C),
Emergency Planning and Preparedness (subsection D), Fire Service Features (subsection E),
Building Services and Systems (subsection F), Fire Protection Systems (subsection G),
Aviation Facilities (subsection H), Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and repair Garages
(subsection I), High Piled Combustible Storage (subsection J), Tire Rebuilding and Tire Storage
(subsection K), Hazardous Materials - General Provisions (subsection L), Compressed gases
(subsection M), Corrosive Materials (subsection N), Flammable and Combustible Liquids
(subsection 0), Flammable Gases (subsection P), Liquefied Petroleum Gases (subsection Q),
Appendices (subsection R) are reasonably necessary due to the following local climatic,
geological or topographical conditions:

A. Climatic Conditions:
Generally Riverside County and the City of Temecula have an arid climate.
Annual rainfall varies from 3 inches in Blythe to over 33 inches in Pine Cove. Hot, dry
Santa Ana winds are common to areas within Riverside County. These winds constitute
a contributing factor, which causes small fires originating in high-density development
presently being constructed in the County of Riverside and the City of Temecula, which
spread quickly and create the need for an increased level of fire protection. This added
protection, including, but not limited to on-site protection, will supplement normal fire
Department response available in new development, and provide immediate fire
protection for life and safety of multiple-occupancy occupants during fire occurrence.
B. Toooaraohical Conditions:
Traffic and circulation congested in urban areas often place Fire Department
response time to emergencies at risk. This condition makes the need for enhanced on-
site protection for property occupants necessary.
C. Geoloaical Conditions:
The City of Temecula is located in an area near high seismic activity. Because of
the degree of the City's urbanization and close proximity to major fault lines, the risk of
structural damage and loss of life due to ground shaking is considerable. During a
major earthquake, emergency resources would be extremely taxed, and the ability to
respond to such emergencies would be complicated. Local standards in excess of
statewide minimums will assist in reducing risks associated with earthquakes and the
consequent disruption of traffic flow.
3. Specific Amendments and References to Findings
Local climatic, geographic and topographic conditions impact fire prevention
efforts, and the frequency, spread, acceleration, intensity and size of fire involving
buildings in this community. Further, they impact potential damage to all structures from
earthquake and subsequent fire. Therefore, it is found to be reasonably necessary that
provisions of the California Fire Code be modified to mitigate the effects of the above
conditions.
California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that the modification or
change be expressly marked and identified as to which each finding refers. Therefore,
the City Council finds that the following table sets forth 2007 California Fire Code
provisions constituting building standards that have been modified pursuant to
Ordinance No. 07-16, and the associated local climatic, geological and topographical
conditions described above in Section 2 supporting modification.
