1.
All Occupancies
Unless State Code or Statutes, California Building Code, Title 24
CCR part_2, or the California Fire Code, Title 24 CCR part 9, is
more restrictive, every structure hereafter constructed, except
residential structures of two dwelling units or less, which exceeds
the Fire area square footage as listed in Table No. A-III-A-1 of the
Uniform Fire Code requiring a fire flow of 1,500 gallons per minute
shall have an approved automatic fire sprinkler system installed

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for U-3 occupancies, so long as
the structure is used as storage barns ("pole barns") housing no
persons or animals, open on all sides, and when separated from
all other structures or improvements by at least 60 feet, and when
also away from all property lines by at least 60 feet, an exemption
to the requirement to install an automatic fire sprinkler system may
be made by the Fire Chief or his or her designee, in their sole

that such exemption will in no way diminish the safety or increase
the risk to the public, and after the official has also determined
that there is no reasonable likelihood that a fire in and effecting
such pole barn could pose unreasonable threats to adjacent
improvements, whether on or off the parcel the pole barn is
located upon."
