the fire department, shall be installed in all corridors.
SECTION 16: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that amendments to section 8-290 are necessary because the water table is
less than eight (8) feet deep in certain areas of the City of Santa Ana. Gray water
implementation may cause cross-contamination of ground water with untreated
wastewater from gray water systems, thereby contaminating underground potable water
sources.
SECTION 17: That section 8-290 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended
such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-290. Adoption by reference.
There is adopted by the city that certain code known as the California Plumbing
Code, 2007 Edition, except Chapter 16, including the following appendices thereto: A,
B, D, I and K, (hereinafter referred to in this article as the "Plumbing Code" or "plumbing
code"), together with subsequent supplements or amendments, which shall become
effective, adopted and incorporated by reference into the Santa Ana Municipal Code on
the date specified by the State Building Standards Commission, unless otherwise
specified, of which not less than one (1) copy of said Code has been and is now on file
in the office of the Clerk of the Council of the City of Santa Ana pursuant to Health and
Safety Code Section 18942(d)(1) and are made available for public inspection. The
Plumbing Code is adopted and incorporated by reference as fully set forth at length
herein as provided for in section 419 of the Charter of the city, except for the changes to
the Plumbing Code set forth in this Chapter of the Santa Ana Municipal Code that
specifically amend the Plumbing Code. Any previously enacted, unrepealed provision
of the Santa Ana Municipal Code that amended apre-2007 Edition of the "Plumbing
Code" shall also be construed as amending the applicable provision of the 2007 or later
Edition of the Plumbing Code. The Plumbing Code as amended, together with all other
provisions of this article, shall be known as the City of Santa Ana Plumbing Code.
SECTION 18: That section 8-301 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby
amended such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-301. Authority Having Jurisdiction (Section 203.0).
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B-9 Page 9 of 37
Section 203.0 of the plumbing code is amended to read as follows:
Whenever the term "Authority Having Jurisdiction" is used in this code, it shall be
construed to mean the building official of the city or his authorized representative.
SECTION 19: That section 8-308 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby
amended such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-308. Permit required (Appendix Chapter 1 Section 103.1.1).
Appendix Chapter 1 Section 103.1.1 of the plumbing code is amended to read as
follows:
103.1.1 Permits required. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation
to install, remove, alter, repair, replace or maintain any plumbing system regulated by
this code except as permitted in Section 103.1.2, or cause the same to be done, without
first obtaining a separate permit to do such work from the authority having jurisdiction
for each separate building or structure.
SECTION 20: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that adoption of section 8-340 amending California Plumbing Code section
314.3 is necessary because the topography of the City of Santa Ana is near sea level.
This is problematic for long distance drainage as proper drainage requires a minimum of
a one percent (1 %) downhill grade. The amendment of section 8-340 provides soil
compaction guidelines so that installation of the drain line is well supported and
prevents the failure or sagging of the drain lines due to the short range of elevation
between the topographical surface of the City and the topographic surface level and
location of the sewage treatment plant that the drains must reach. As a result, a
certification by a registered soils engineer is necessary because there must be specific
guidelines for compaction or there is a potential risk of the system's failure to drain
properly.
SECTION 21: That section of 8-340 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby
amended such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-340. Piping in the ground (California Plumbing Code Section 314.3).
Section 314.3 of the Plumbing Code is amended to read as follows:
314.3. Piping in the ground shall be laid on a firm bed for its entire length.
Building drains, sewers and storm drain piping systems in the ground, and
designed and approved at less than one (1) percent grade, shall be laid on a
continuous firm bed, certified by a registered soils engineer as having a
compaction level of not less than ninety (90) percent density. Where support is
otherwise provided, it shall be acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B ~ ~ 0 Page 10 of 37
SECTION 22: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that adoption of section 8-341 amending California Plumbing Code section
314.7 is necessary to provide proper support for all horizontal piping, because of the
significant potential for damage due to seismic activity. Cast iron is deemed unsafe in
light of the seismic zone because of its weight and flexibility. Santa Ana is in close
proximity to major active fault systems in Southern California. This area has been
designated as the highest seismic risk zone in the hierarchy that rates the potential risk
for seismic activity by geographical areas. As a result, a finding has been made that all
suspended piping is to be braced to prevent movement or pipe failure.
SECTION 23: That section 8-341 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended
such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-341. Horizontal piping (California Plumbing Code Section 314.7).
Section 314.7 of the Plumbing Code is amended to read as follows:
314.7 All gas piping, horizontal cast iron drain, waste and vent piping, and all
other suspended horizontal piping two and one-half (2 '/Z) inches and larger, shall
be supported with approved rod and hangars.
Exception: plumbers tape (perforated strap iron) may be used to support piping
two (2) inches and smaller in type V (wood) construction only. Plumbers tape
shall be galvanized and not less than three-fourths (3/4) inch wide and twenty
two (22) gage.
SECTION 24: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that adoption of section 8-342 amending California Plumbing Code Table
3-2 is necessary to provide proper support for all horizontal piping, because of the
significant potential for damage due to seismic activity. Cast iron is deemed unsafe in
light of the seismic zone because of its weight and flexibility. Santa Ana is in close
proximity to major active fault systems in Southern California. This area has been
designated as the highest seismic risk zone in the hierarchy that rates the potential risk
for seismic activity by geographical areas. As a result, a finding has been made that all
suspended piping is to be braced to prevent movement or pipe failure.
SECTION 25: That section 8-342 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended
such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-342. Suspended piping support (California Plumbing Code, Table 3-2).
Table 3-2 of the plumbing code is amended by adding footnote 2 to the
requirements for horizontal piping of all materials specified in Table 3-2 of the California
Plumbing Code.
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B-11 Page 11 of 37
SECTION 26: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that adoption of section 8-400 amending California Plumbing Code section
609.3.1 is necessary because of the caustic chemical composition of the soil in the City
of Santa Ana, pipes subject to contact with the soil are susceptible to corrosion
potentially causing damage or failure. In addition, nonmetallic piping, and particularly
plastic or other materials may leach caustic chemicals into the water supply. Moreover,
since Santa Ana is located in the highest seismic design categories, plastic and other
nonmetallic types of piping are susceptible to fracture, joint weakening and potential
failure during seismic activity. In addition, throughout the City of Santa Ana varied soil
conditions exist, resulting in acidic soil conditions. It is determined that these additional
safeguards against corrosion of the piping materials are necessary to maintain a
properly functioning plumbing system.
SECTION 27: That section 8-400 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended
such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-400. Water piping in buildings (California Plumbing Code Section 609.3.1).
Section 609.3.1 of the Uniform Plumbing Code is amended to read as follows:
609.3.1 Nonmetallic and ferrous piping shall be prohibited; except that ferrous
piping four (4) inches and larger may be used when protected against corrosion
and installed in channels, tubes, or in a similar protective manner when approved
by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
SECTION 28: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that adoption of section 8-401 amending California Plumbing Code section
610.8 using Table 6-6 is necessary because Santa Ana is located in an area of low
rainfall and hot, dry summer climatic conditions. These conditions cause multiple water
sources to be accessed concurrently by the same user. As a result, a 3/4" water supply
pipe may be insufficient to supply the water demanded in any given instance.
SECTION 29: That section 8-401 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended
such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-401. Building supply pipe (California Plumbing Code Section 610.8 using Table
6.6).
Section 610.8 of the Plumbing Code is amended to read as follows:
690.8 Size of meter and building supply pipe using Table 6-6. The size of the
meter and the building supply pipe shall be determined as follows:
1. Determine the available pressure at the water meter or other source of
supply.
2. Subtract one-half (1/2) pound per square inch pressure (3.4 kPa) for each
foot (305 mm) of difference in elevation between such source of supply
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B ~ 12 Page 12 of 37
and the highest water supply outlet in the building or on the premises.
3. Use the "pressure range" group within which this pressure will fall using
Table 6-6.
4. Select the "length" column that is equal to or longer than the required
length.
5. Follow down the column to a fixture unit value equal to or greater than the
total number of fixture units required by the installation.
6. Having located the proper fixture unit value for the required length, sizes
of meter and building supply pipe as found in the two left-hand columns
shall be applied.
No building supply pipe shall be less than three-quarters (3/4) inch (20
mm) in diameter.
Each single family residential structure shall be served with a main water supply
pipe of not less than one (1) inch I.D.
Two (2) hose bibbs served by three-quarter (3/4) I.D. pipe or larger shall be
provided; one serving the front yard and one serving the rear yard.
SECTION 30: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that adoption of section 8-402 amending California Plumbing Code Table
6-6 is necessary because Santa Ana is located in a desert plain subject to seasonal hot,
dry winds. In order to assure an adequate water supply for common domestic water
demand, in addition to landscape irrigation needs, it is determined that an increase from
a 3/" diameter pipe supply to an 1"diameter supply and two 3/" diameter hose bibbs in
the front and back yards for irrigation is justified.
SECTION 31: That section 8-402 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended
such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-402. Building supply pipe (California Plumbing Code, Table 6-6)
Table 6-6 of the Plumbing Code is amended by changing the triple asterisk
footnote to read as follows:
*** Building Supply- three-quarter (3/4) inch (20 mm) nominal size minimum, -
1"minimum diameter for each single-family residential structure.
SECTION 32: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that adoption of section 8-405 amending California Plumbing Code section
718.1 is necessary because of problems which have arisen in excessively flat-graded
drain systems. Santa Ana's sewer system in many areas is relatively shallow. This has
precluded the design and installation of drainage systems within the code
recommended grades. Additionally, many areas of Santa Ana have a high water table
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B-13 Page 13 of 37
which results in an unstable soil condition. Pipe settlement due to uncompacted soil
may result in a drainage system which is flat or reverse graded, causing stoppages or
complete blockage of the drainage system.
SECTION 33: That section 8-405 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby
amended such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-405. Grade, Support, and Protection of Building Sewers (Section 718.1).
Section 718.1 of the California Plumbing Code is amended by adding the
following paragraph thereto.
Building sewer piping systems designed for grades of less than one (1) percent
shall be designed by a registered civil engineer. The engineer shall be responsible for
supervising the installation and shall certify in writing that the sewer installation is in
compliance with the approved plan, relative to line and grade.
SECTION 34: That section 8-556 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby
amended such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-556. Adoption by reference.
There is adopted by the city that certain code known as the California Mechanical
Code, 2007 Edition and with appendices A and C and code standards therein
(hereinafter referred to in this article as the "California Mechanical Code" "Mechanical
Code" or "mechanical code"), together with subsequent supplements, amendments, or
editions, which shall become effective, adopted, and incorporated by reference into the
Santa Ana Municipal Code on the date specified by the State Building Standards
Commission, unless otherwise specified, of which not less than one (1) copy of said
Code has been and is now on file in the office of the Clerk of the Council of the City of

SECTION 39: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that adoption of section 8-570 amending California Mechanical Code
section 602.1 is necessary because of corrosion related to the high seasonal humidity in
this coastal area which prevents moisture collecting in flexible ducting of evaporative
cooling systems from draining and evaporating, contributing to the deterioration of the
ductwork thereby endangering person's health and the environment.

Code 2007 Edition and the administrative provisions set forth herein, except Article 80
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B-16 Page 16 of 37
of the Electric Code, (hereinafter referred to in this article as the "Electrical Code")
together with subsequent supplements, amendments, or editions, which shall become
effective, adopted, and incorporated by reference into the Santa Ana Municipal Code on
the date specified by the State Building Standards Commission, unless specifically
adopted prior to that date, of which not less than one (1) copy of said Code has been
and is now on file in the office of the Clerk of the Council of the City of Santa Ana
pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 18942(d)(1) and are made available for
public inspection. The Electrical Code is adopted and incorporated by reference as
though fully set forth at length herein as provided for in section 419 of the Charter of the
city, except for the changes to the Electrical Code set forth in this Chapter of the Santa
Ana Municipal Code that specifically amend the Electrical Code. Any previously
enacted, unrepealed provision of the Santa Ana Municipal Code that amended apre-
2007 Edition of the "Electrical Code" shall also be construed as amending the applicable
provision of the 2007 or later Edition of the Electrical Code. The Electrical Code as
amended, together with all other provisions of this article, shall be known as the City of
Santa Ana Electrical Code.
SECTION 42: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares that adoption of section 8-815 amending California Electrical Code section
110-5 is necessary because earthquakes are a common occurrence in the local area,
Santa Ana is located in the highest seismic design categories in the hierarchy that rates
the potential risk for seismic activity by geographical areas. As such, there is a
likelihood that conductors smaller than 4 AWG will have a propensity to work loose from
their connection potentially precipitating a fire during seismic activity. It is therefore
determined that said amendment is necessary to address the risk of fire due to such
causes.
SECTION 43: That section 8-815 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended
such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-815. Conductors (Section 110-5).

conductors are subject to the limitation that no aluminum conductor smaller than
No. 4 AWG shall be used.
SECTION 44: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and
declares that adoption of section 8-942 amending California Electrical Code section 334-12 is
necessary because earthquakes are a common occurrence in the local area and that, unlike
wire installed in conduit or raceways, non-metallic sheathed cable does not provide the degree
of protection that is needed in the event of an earthquake. Moreover, it is determined that
exposed non-metallic sheathed cable is particularly hazardous. Therefore, this amendment is
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B ~ ~ 7 Page 17 of 37
necessary to assure that adequate protection is provided in the workplace and in other places
of public gathering.
SECTION 45: That section 8-942 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended
such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 8-942. Uses not permitted (Section 334-12).

creates an environment that is conducive to rapidly spreading fire. Control of such fire
requires rapid response. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees,
street lights and utility poles, and the requirement to climb 75 feet vertically up flights of
stairs will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene. Moreover, this
area has been designated as the highest seismic risk zone in the hierarchy that rates
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B-23 Page 23 of 37
the potential risk for seismic activity by geographical areas. The viability of the public
water system would be questionable after a large earthquake leaving tall buildings
vulnerable to uncontrolled fires and the inability to pump sufficient quantities of water to
upper floors.
SECTION 52: That section 14-21 is added to Chapter 14 of the Santa Ana
Municipal code to read in full as follows:
Sec. 14-21. Definitions (Section 202).

SECTION 58: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares that adoption of Section 14-27 amending California Fire Code
section 508 is necessary due to climatic conditions of high winds and low humidity.
Combined with high density city population conditions may be conducive to rapidly
spreading fires. These climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of
even small fires originating in high density housing therefore creating a need for
increased fire protection. This amendment defines fire flow, fire sprinkler and fire
hydrant placement requirements.
SECTION 59: That section 14-27 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby
amended such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 14-27. Fire flow requirements (Section 508).
(a) Subsection 508.1 of the California Fire Code is amended to read as follows:
508.1. Required water supply for fire protection.
No building shall hereafter be constructed which would require a fire flow of more
than five thousand five hundred (5,500) gallons per minute. No existing building shall be
added to, altered, or changed in the character of its occupancy so as to increase its
required fire flow above five thousand five hundred (5,500) gallons per minute. No
existing building which currently requires a fire flow of more than five thousand five
hundred (5,500) gallons per minute shall be added to, altered, or changed in the
character of its occupancy if such addition, alteration or change would increase the fire
flow required for such building.
No building shall hereafter be constructed, and no additions, alterations, or repairs shall
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B ~3 ~ Page 30 of 37
be made to an existing building within any twelve-month period which exceed twenty-
five (25) percent of its value, and no existing building shall be changed in the character
of its occupancy so as to increase the fire flow required for such building, unless fire
hydrants and appurtenant water supply capable of delivering the fire flow that will be
required for such building, with a residual pressure measured at the hydrant outlet of not
less than twenty (20) pounds per square inch during times of average daily
consumption, are located in accordance with the following distance limitations:
In any case where this requirement applies solely by reason of additions,
alterations, or repairs to an existing building; and in the case of new
construction of a building designed for Group R, Division 3 occupancy, as
defined in the building code of the City of Santa Ana, or building or
structure accessory thereto: the required hydrant or hydrants must be
located within five hundred (500) feet of all portions of the exterior walls of
the building or be protected. Such required hydrant or hydrants may be
located either on a public street or on the site of the premises to be
protected.
2. In all other cases: the required hydrant or hydrants shall be located on the
site of the premises to be protected, except that any required hydrant may
be located on a public street if such location is within one hundred fifty
(150) feet of all portions of the exterior walls of the building to be
protected.
Where more than one (1) fire hydrant is located on the site of the premises to be
protected, or where a combination of hydrants located on such site and a public street
are used to meet the distance requirements, the required fire flow in gallons per minute
may be divided between such hydrants provided:
That the combination of hydrants will deliver the required flow, and
2. That no single hydrant has a flow of less than one thousand five hundred
(1,500) gallons per minute with a residual pressure measured at the
hydrant outlet of not less than twenty (20) pounds per square inch during
times of average daily consumption.
Water supply may consist of reservoirs, pressure tanks, elevated tanks, water mains, or
other fixed system capable of supplying the required fire flow, subject to the approval of
the fire marshal. The precise location, number and type of fire hydrants connected to a
water supply to be provided in accordance with this subsection shall be subject to the
approval of the fire marshal. All hydrants shall be accessible to the fire department
apparatus by roadways meeting the requirements of Section 503.
No use of an existing building, or any portion thereof, for either a place of assemblage
or a Group H occupancy, as defined in subsections 903.2.1 and 903.2.4, shall be
initiated or expanded unless the building as a whole will comply with the requirements of
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B-31 Page 31 of 37
this subsection 508.1 such as would apply to the new construction of such building for
the same uses.
For purposes of this section, an existing building or structure shall be deemed to have a
value equal to the current cost of construction of a building or structure of the same size
and type of construction. In determining such value, the fire marshal shall be guided by
the most recent building valuation data published by the International Conference of
Building Officials.
In determining the fire flow requirements for any building, structure, or fire area, the fire
marshal shall proceed in accordance with the standards set forth in that certain "Santa
Ana Fire Department Guide for Determination of Fire Flows," of which not less than one
(1) copy is on file in the office of the clerk of the council of the City of Santa Ana.
(b) Subsection 508.3 of the California Fire Code is amended to read as follows:
508.3. Fire Flow Methods.
An automatic sprinkler system must be installed in buildings hereafter
constructed, or when additions, alterations, or repairs are such as to require the building
to comply with all the requirements of the building code of the City of Santa Ana for new
buildings, in either of the following circumstances:
• The building would require a fire flow of more than two thousand five
hundred (2,500) gallons per minute if such system were not installed;
• The building exceeds two stories in height.
EXCEPTIONS:
1. Group R occupancies as defined in California Fire Code Section
903.2.7.
2. Open free standing parking structures, whether or not such
structures exceed two (2) stories in height, constructed of
noncombustible materials above grade, and meeting all of the
provisions of the building code of the City of Santa Ana and
National Fire Protection Association Standard 88A, need not be
provided with automatic fire sprinkler unless such sprinklers would
be required due to the area and height limitations of the building
code of the City of Santa Ana or the estimated fire flow exceeds
five thousand five hundred (5,500) gallons per minute. Where a
conflict exists between the building code of the City of Santa Ana
and National Fire Protection Association Standard 88A, the more
restrictive requirement shall apply.
(c) Subsections 508.5 and 508.5.1 of the California Fire Code are deleted.
(d) Subsection 508.5.2 of the California Fire Code is amended to read as follows:
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B-32 Page 32 of 37
508.5.2 Private Hydrant Testing.
Private hydrant systems shall be inspected and serviced annually, and the owner
shall correct any deficiencies immediately. Hydrants shall be flushed, valves operated
and caskets and caps inspected. Hydrant paint shall be maintained in good conditions.
SECTION 60: That section 14-28 is added to Chapter 14 of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code to read as follows:
Section 315.4 is added to the California Fire Code to read as follows:
Section 315.4 Parade Floats.
Section 315.4.1 Decorative Materials. Decorative materials on parade floats shall
be non-combustible or flame retardant.
Section 315.4.2 Fire Protection. Motorized parade floats and towing apparatus
shall be provided with a minimum 2A10BC rated portable extinguisher readily
accessible to the operator.
SECTION 61: That section 14-29 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby
deleted in its entirety:
Sec. 14-29. Reserved.
SECTION 62: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares that adoption of Section 14-30 amending the California Fire
Code section 903 is necessary due to artificially created topographic conditions. The
City is 27 square miles with a population in excess of 350,000 with extensive traffic
congestion. Depending on time of day and climatic conditions response times may be
impacted. Therefore those occupancies that have the potential to large loss of life (Type
"A") and those that have the highest potential for conflagration (Type "H") make it
necessary to provide automatic on-site fire extinguishing systems in order to protect
occupants and property.
SECTION 63: That section 14-30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby
amended such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 14-30. Installation of automatic sprinkler systems (Section 903).
(a) Subsection 903.2.1 of the California Fire Code is amended as follows:
903.2.1 Places of Public Assemblage
An automatic sprinkler system must be installed in any portion of a building whether
newly constructed or preexisting, in or into which the following use is initiated or
expanded. A place of public assemblage which provides for the gathering together of
one hundred (100) or more persons, for such purposes of deliberation, education,
instruction, worship activities, entertainment, amusement, or the awaiting of
transportation, or in a dining or drinking establishment.
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B-33 Page 33 of 37
(b) Subsection 903.2.4.1 of the California Fire Code is amended as follows:
903.2.4.1 Group H Occupancies.
An automatic sprinkler system must be installed in any portion of a building,
whether newly constructed or preexisting, in or into all H occupancies as defined by the
City of Santa Ana building code.
(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
903.2.9 of the California Fire Code are subject to sprinkler requirements stated in City of
Santa Ana Municipal code section 14-30 subsection 508.3 or the California Fire Code;
whichever is more restrictive.
(d) Subsection 903.3.7 of the California Fire Code is amended as follows:
903.3.7 Fire department connections.
All sprinkler systems shall have the Fire Department pumper connection located
at the property line, on the address side of the building as close as practical to the
public hydrant.
SECTION 64: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares that adoption of Section 14-31 amending California Fire Code
section 907 sections 907.2.12 and 907.9.3 is necessary due to the climatic and
geographic conditions of high winds and low humidity. This combination of events
creates an environment that is conducive to rapidly spreading fire. Control of such fire
requires rapid response. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees,
street lights and utility poles, and the requirement to climb 75 feet vertically up flights of
stairs will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene. Also the City is
located in the middle of the seismically active area identified as Seismic Zone 4. The
viability of the public water system would be questionable after a large earthquake
leaving tall buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires and the inability to pump sufficient
quantities of water to upper floors.
SECTION 65: That section 14-31 is added to Chapter 14 of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code to read as follows (new language in bold for tracking purposes):
Sec 14-31. High Rise Amendments (Section 907)
(a) Subsection 907.2.12 of the California Fire Code is amended as follows:
907.2.12 High-rise buildings.
Buildings with a floor used for human occupancy located more than 55 feet
above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access shall be provided with an
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
11 B-34 Page 34 of 37
automatic fire alarm system and an emergency voice/alarm communication system in
accordance with 907.2.12.2.
Exceptions:
1. Airport traffic control towers in accordance with Section 907.2.22 and
Section 412 of the California Building Code.
2. Open parking garages in accordance with Section 406.3 of the California

California Building Code.
5. Buildings with an occupancy in Group H-1, H-2 or H-3 in accordance with
Section 415 of the California Building Code.
(b) Subsection 907.9.3 of the California Fire Code is amended as follows:
907.9.3 High-rise buildings.

feet above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access, a separate zone by floor
shall be provided for all of the following types of alarm-initiating devices where provided:
1. Smoke detectors.
2. Sprinkler water-flow devices.
3. Manual fire alarm boxes.
4. Other approved types of automatic fire detection or suppression systems.

the Santa Ana Municipal Code.
SECTION 69: That section 14-49 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby
amended such that it reads as follows:
Sec. 14-49. Deletions from the California Fire Code.
The following parts of the California Fire Code are hereby deleted:
Appendix A -Board of Appeals
