SUBMITTED BY: Duane Olson,4ity
hiJennifer McG Attorney
PREPARED BY: Scott Field, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Adopt An Ordinance Amending Municipal Code Section 17.56.055
Regarding Enforcement of Fire Sprinkler Requirement for Assemblies
Statement of Issue, Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action(s),Analysis,Environmental Status,Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: Whether to adopt an ordinance establishing a procedure for enforcing
the fire sprinkler requirements where the City erroneously issued a certificate of occupancy
permitting an assembly in a non-sprinklered structure.
Funding Source: Not applicable.
Recommended Action: Motion to introduce Ordinance No. 3769 Amending Municipal
Code Section 17.56.055 Regarding Fire Sprinklers, direct the City Clerk to publish notice of a
public hearing pursuant to Government Code Section 6066, and schedule a public hearing
for June 18, 2007 on adoption of the Ordinance.
Alternative Action(s): Do not introduce the Ordinance.
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: May 21, 2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: 07-14
Analysis: Since 1995, the Fire Code has required installation of fire sprinklers in all
new buildings of over 5,000 square feet, regardless of whether the proposed occupancy
is retail, office, warehouse, residential, or any other use. Existing non-sprinklered
buildings may remain so, unless there is a change of occupancy classification to an
assembly, educational, institutional, hazardous or residential use.
Generally, the City has been effective in identifying changes of use that trigger
installation of sprinklers in free-standing buildings, and where a land use entitlement is
required. However, the City has missed a few cases in shopping centers where there
was a change of use in one or two suites from an office or retail occupancy to an
assembly occupancy, such as a fitness studio or restaurant. Notably, these changes of
use in the commercial zone do not require a CUP.
The fact that the City mistakenly authorized the assembly occupancy does not legalize
the use. However, the Fire Department desires to enforce the Fire Code without causing
undue hardship resulting in the closing of an existing business until sprinklers can be
installed. The Fire Department has worked with the City Attorney proposing the attached
ordinance giving businesses up to three years to come into compliance with the City's
sprinkler requirement. Briefly, the ordinance would provide that:
1. The Fire Chief shall notify any occupancies that incorrectly were issued an
assembly occupancy permit that they have 60 days to apply for a
temporary occupancy permit.
2. The Fire Chief may issue a temporary occupancy permit which allows the
applicant three years of continued occupancy without fire sprinklers.
3. The building owner shall apply for a building permit to install the fire
sprinklers within one year of issuance of the temporary occupancy permit.
4. The building owner shall begin installation of the fire sprinklers within two
years of the issuance of the temporary occupancy permit, and be
completed within three years.
It is recommended that the City Council introduce the Ordinance, and schedule a public
hearing on adoption of the Ordinance for June 18, 2007.
Strategic Plan Goal:
C-2: To ensure that professional standards are in place to meet community expectations
and needs.

ORDINANCE NO. 3769
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTION 17.56.055 REGARDING ENFORCEMENT OF FIRE SPRINKLER
REQUIREMENT FOR ASSEMBLIES
The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach hereby ordains as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals.
A. Beginning with the adoption of Ordinance No. 3317 on December 18,
1995, the City has required installation of automatic fire sprinklers in all existing
buildings exceeding 5,000 square feet upon the change of use to an"assembly"
occupancy. Ordinance No. 3317 adopted by reference the California Fire Code as the
City Fire Code, subject to certain local amendments. Section 17.56.055 of the City Fire
Code amended the California Fire Code to state that: "An automatic sprinkler system
shall be installed whenever the total gross floor area exceeds 5,000 square feet for all new
construction, additions to existing buildings, or change of occupancy classification . . . ."
B. On September 16, 2002, the City adopted Ordinance No. 3571, which
again adopted by reference the latest California Fire Code as the City Fire Code, subject
to certain local amendments. Section 17.56.055 of the City Fire Code amended the
California Fire Code to state that: "An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed
whenever the total gross floor area exceeds 5,000 square feet for all new construction,
additions to existing buildings, or change of occupancy classification to an assembly,
educational, institutional, hazardous or residential use . . . ."
C. The California Fire Code further defines an "assembly"occupancy as "the
gathering together of 50 or more persons for such purposes as deliberation, education,
instruction, worship, entertainment, amusement, drinking,dining or awaiting
transportation."
D. Generally, the City Fire Code does not require fire sprinklers if the square
footage of the building is less than 5,000 square feet. Occupancies classified as
hazardous or woodworking facilities have requirements for fire sprinklers even in
buildings less than 5,000 square feet. The square footage of a building includes the entire
interior floor area of the building, regardless of interior walls, unless the interior walls are
a four-hour, fire resistant masonry wall. Consequently, even if an assembly includes less
than 5,000 square feet of the building, fire sprinklers are required if the building exceeds
5,000 square feet. Section 17.56.060 of the City Fire Code provides that sprinklers only
may be omitted where a four-hour masonry wall separates the assembly area from the
adjoining occupancies, and limits the assembly use to 5,000 square feet, or less.
E. Huntington Beach's Building and Fire Codes recognize that different types of
assemblies pose different risks to life and property in case of fire. Although all assemblies are
defined as gatherings of 50 or more persons, the Codes distinguish between (1) civic, social or
1
06-36/6438
Ordinance No. 3769
religious assemblies, (2) food or drink assemblies, and (3) recreation, education or instruction
assemblies. Civic, social or religious assemblies present the greatest risk to life and property
in case of fire because the Building Code permits "auditoriums, churches and chapels" to be
occupied by up to one person for every seven square feet of floor area, whereas "dining rooms
and dining establishments" are permitted one person per every 15 square feet of floor area and
"exercising rooms"are allowed one person per every 50 square feet.
F. The City issues Certificates of Occupancy("C of O") for all buildings. Fire
code permits authorize both the permitted use of the building(such as manufacturing, business,
assembly, etc.). The maximum number of persons that may occupy the building is defined as
occupancy load. In issuing C of Os for assemblies, the City must distinguish between
assemblies established before 1996, when fire sprinklers were not required, and those
established after 1996, when fire sprinklers were required. As a legal, non-conforming use,
any assembly established before 1996 may continue to operate indefinitely without sprinklers
after 1996. Alternatively, if the City issued fire permits for a non-assembly use in an existing
building prior to 1996, and later, the landlord rented the same space to a new, restaurant tenant
engaged in an assembly use, the City should have recognized this change of use, and required
the installation of fire sprinklers before issuing a fire permit.
G. The City has effectively applied the fire sprinkler requirement to all new
construction, demolitions and remodeling/expansions, and any new occupancy that requires a
discretionary land use entitlement. However, the City may have failed to consistently require
installation of fire sprinklers upon changes of use to assemblies in existing buildings where it
was unnecessary to obtain zoning approval to establish the new occupancy.
H. The City Council seeks to ensure that all buildings where there was a change of
use to assembly after 1996 are retrofitted with automatic fire sprinklers to protect against loss
of life and property due to fire. In enforcing the fire sprinkler requirement, the City Council
recognizes not only the substantial cost of fire sprinklers, but also that tenants may have
entered into leases and operated business based upon the assumption that fire sprinklers were
not required. In order to correct any failure of enforcement without causing undue hardship on
the property owner and/or tenant, the City Council adopts this Ordinance to amortize as
expeditiously as possible any unlawful assemblies.
SECTION 2. Section 17.56.055 of the Municipal Code is amended to
read as follows:
17.56.055 CFC Section 1003.2.2 Automatic Fire Extinguishing Systems.
1003.2.2 All Occupancies: All Occupancies Except Group U occupancies.
