(b) Subsection 903.2.4.1 ~ ~^~Tof the California-~i#er~ Fire Code is amended as <br />follows: <br />903.2.4.1 Group H Occupancies. <br />An automatic sprinkler system must be installed in any portion of a building, <br />whether newly constructed or preexisting in or into all H occupancies as defined by the <br />City of Santa Ana building code. <br />(c) Subsections 903 2 3 903.2.5 903.2.6 903.2.7 903.2.8, 903.2.8.1, 903.2.8.2 and <br />903 2 9 of the California Fire Code are subject to sprinkler requirements stated in City of <br />Santa Ana Municipal code section 14-30 subsection 508.3 or the California Fire Code; <br />whichever is more restrictive. <br />(d) Subsection 903.3.7 a-AA~~'~ of the California k~i#e~ Fire Code is amended as <br />follows: <br />903.3.7 Fire department connections <br />All sprinkler systems shall have the Fire Department pumper connection located <br />at the property line, on the address side of the building as close as practical to the <br />public hydrant. <br />SECTION 64: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares that adoption of Section 14-31 amending California Fire Code <br />section 907 sections 907.2.12 and 907.9.3 is necessary due to the climatic and <br />geographic conditions of high winds and low humidity. This combination of events <br />creates an environment that is conducive to rapidly spreading fire. Control of such fire <br />requires rapid response. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, <br />street lights and utility poles, and the requirement to climb 75 feet vertically up flights of <br />stairs will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene. Also the City is <br />located in the middle of the seismically active area identified as Seismic Zone 4. The <br />viability of the public water system would be questionable after a large earthquake <br />leaving tall buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires and the inability to pump sufficient <br />quantities of water to upper floors. <br />SECTION 65: That section 14-31 is added to Chapter 14 of the Santa Ana <br />Municipal Code to read as follows (new language in bold for tracking purposes): <br />Sec 14-31. High Rise Amendments (Section 907) <br />~ Subsection 907.2.12 of the California Fire Code is amended as follows: <br />907.2.12 High-rise buildings. <br />Ordinance No. NS-XXXX <br />Page 41 of 48 <br />75C-49 <br />
