Ordinance 4268 City of Huntington Beach Ordinance Number 4268, and Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 17.56 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Adopting the California Fire Code and Repealing Ordinance No. 4189, had four appendices (E, F, G, and H) that were identified to be adopted but did not have findings indicated. The findings have now been updated and the Express Finding Table is attached. Please accept these clarifications to City of Huntington Beach Ordinance Number 4270 and 4268. If you have further questions, please contact Jasmine Daley, Building Official, (714) 536-5555 or Janice Van Mullem, Fire Marshal, (714) 536-5565. Sinc rely, Jasmine Daley Building Official Janice Van Mullem Fire Marshal Cc: Michael Gates,City Attorney Robin Estanislau,City Clerk Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development Scott M Haberle, Fire Chief Express Findings for Ordinance No. 4270 Page 1 of 7 EXHIBIT #2: EXPRESS FINDINGS Changes and modifications to the Codes adopted by the City of Huntington Beach as recommended by the Building Official and Director of Community Development are hereby found to be reasonably necessary due to local conditions. The basis of conditions are described in the Administrative Draft, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) (2022). The following conditions will be considered as justification for all amendments proposed. Hazard Threat Level Justification A: Climatic Severe Weather Medium Drought High Flood Medium Justification B: Geological Coastal hazards Medium Dam failure Medium Methane Caused Hazards Medium' Seismic hazards High Justification C: Topographical Human hazards Medium A. Climatic Conditions: 1. Hot, dry, high velocity winds (called Santa Ana winds) are common in the area. These winds reduce the relative humidity causing severe drying of the vegetation and common building materials. These dry conditions predispose the area to large destructive fires (conflagration). High wind/windstorm events are predicted to continue to occur, and there is also the possibility of tornado and waterspout; the last tornado reported was in January 2010 with EF rating of F1 creating $500,000 in property damage). 2. The local climate is currently in a drought condition. Most of Orange County, including Huntington Beach, are experiencing D2 (Severe Draught Conditions). All indications are that these hazards will continue. Dry climatic conditions can create the potential for the rapid spread of fire in both vegetation and structures. The addition of fire protection systems will supplement the Fire Department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing or controlling the spread of fire. Fire sprinkler systems also provide an efficient use of water for the control and containment of fires. 3. The southern boundary of the City is along the Pacific Ocean. Winter storms and tropical storms come into the City from the ocean. These storms can create high winds and large ocean waves, which can cause flooding in Express Findings'for Ordinance No. 4270 Page 2.of 7 large areas of the city. Along part of:the eastern.boundary of.the Cityis the Santa Ana River. This river originates in the.San Bernardino.Mountains and flows through many communities until it terminates in the ocean at the Huntington Beach/Newport.Beach'border. The river is contained ina man- made channel. Heavy:rainfall and urban runoff has potential_to cause flooding in the flood plain due to the river and/or its its tributaries. Despite flood control measure, flooding is Huntington Beach is expected to continue and the_city remains:vulnerable to larger flood events. B. .Geological Conditions:. 1.. The City of Huntington Beach is located in an area of high seismic activity. The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs through the.City, which is the largest of several faults. Studies reveal that this fault has the probability of generating a 6.6 magnitude earthquake. Because of the population density and the number of structures in.the City, the risk of life loss and property damage due to earthquake activity is considerable.. Experts, predict a major earthquake in our area within the next 50 years. This situation creates the need for both additional fire protection measures and automatic on-site fire protection for building occupants since a multitude of fires may result from breakage of;gas and electric lines as"a result of an earthquake. .As noted by"Planning Scenario on .a Major:Earthquake on:the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone; 1988, State Department of Conservation, page 59; "unfortunately, barely meeting the minimum earthquake standards of building codes_places'a building on-the verge of being legally unsafe. 2. Much of the City is deemed:to be in a.methane district,due to the natural detritus of organic matter in the Huntington Beach Oil Field_;'which was first discovered.in 1920. As a result, soils in many parts of the city may contain elevated levels of methane gas. Two areas of: Huntington Beach are. designated as. "methane districts" by the City, where there is known elevated levels of methane-containing soils. This hazard presents a unique threat to the City and has the potential to cause fire, or :environmental emergencies. 3.. Significant areas of:Huntington .Beach-contain corrosive-soils that reduce the expected usable life of Water services when metallic pipes are exposed to these soils. 4. According to the;Administrative Draft, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) (2022), the .City has large portions. in.the tsunami hazard zone subject to tsunami inundation,-areas on land:that can become quickly flooded when there is a tsunami: These flood conditions would impact the response and activity:level of the Fire_ .Department or cause damage to the structures and infrastructures: Express Findings for Ordinance No. 4270 Page 3.of 7 5. There are no darns in Huntington Beach.. However, the city is on the floodplain on the Santa Aria River. There are two dams, Prado Dam and Seven Oaks Dam,which are located upstream of Huntington Beach.on,the Santa Ana River. Failure of either dam could cause damage in Huntington Beach. The primary.threat to Huntington Beach is from the failure of Prado Dam. If the darn were to experience'a partial or complete failure event, the resulting flood would likely overtop the banks of .the Santa Ana.River. Depending on the.amount.of water released,the failure of.Prado Dam.could results in floodwaters inundating all of Huntington Beach except for the area roughly bordered by Beach Boulevard, Talbert;Avenue, Edwards Street, and the.shore. 6. Traffic and:circulation congestion presently existing in the City.of Huntington Beach often places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk. This condition will be exacerbated by any major disaster, including any earthquake .wherein: damage to the highway system will occur. This condition makes the need for additional on.site protection for property occupants necessary. 7. Untreated wood roofs cause:or contribute to:serious fire hazard and to the rapid spread of fires when such fires are accompanied by high winds. Pieces of burning wooden .roofs become flying brands, are carried by the wind to other locations, and.thereby spread:fire quickly. Past Grand Jury Report findings support this concern. C. Topographical Conditions: 1. None used D. Administrative: 1. This amendment is necessary for administrative clarification as permitted by Health and Safety Code.section 18909, and does not modify a'Building Standard- pursuant_to the California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 1.7958.5 and 1.7958.7. This amendment establishes administrative standards for the effectiveenforcement of building standards throughout the City of Huntington Beach. 2. The California Model Building.Security Ordinance' (CMBSO), published .in January 1978, was drafted by the' California Crime Prevention Officers Association in conjunction with the California Attorney General's Office and addresses both :residential and nonresidential structures. Many cities and counties have'adopted the CMBSO, receiving national exposure through Express Findings for Ordinance No. 4270 Page 4 of 7 manufacturers associations and publications in crime prevention literature. The City of Huntington Beach adopted the Building Security Ordinance and notified all builders concerning the code.

The applicable finding for each amendment, addition, or deletion from the Title 24, Part 9, California Fire Code (CFC), is defined herein. The basis of conditions are described in the Administrative Draft, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) (2022). The following conditions will be considered as justification for all amendments proposed. Hazard Threat Level Justification A: Climatic Severe Weather Medium Drought Hi•h Flood Medium Justification B: Geological Coastal hazards Medium Dam failure Medium Methane Caused Hazards Medium Seismic hazards High Justification C: Topographical Human hazards Medium Justification A: Climatic The amendment is justified based on the local climatic condition.

Because of thepopulation. density and the number of structures in the City, the risk of life loss and property damage due to earthquake activity is considerable. Justification 0:. Topographical The amendment it justified based.on the local topographical condition. Human-caused hazards include terrorism and hazardous.materials releases..In. addition, the population density, traffic congestion; road design and the impacts of the coastline on emergency response are considered: 1. The.City has a.population of.198;711. (US Census 2020) people in 27:square miles. The:daytime population increases significantly in the:summer due to.beach related activities; the City hosts more than 1.6 million beach visitors each year. 2. Heavy.traffic:is.common on.the City streets and roadways.. There are two state highways (Beach Boulevard with 94,000 vehicles/day and Pacific Coast Highway with 43,000 vehicles/day) and a major freeway°(I-405 with 250,000 vehicles/day) routed through the City.. 3. There are also numerous narrow alleys and cul-de-sacs present. The ability for fire apparatus access is critical for timely emergency response. The regulation of these access routes:is necessary to help:provide..reasonableresponse times. 4. The southeast border of the city is the Pacific Ocean,which prevents mutual aid responses from 1/3 of the perimeter of the city.

The basis of conditions are described in the Administrative Draft, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) (2022). The following conditions will be considered as justification for all amendments proposed. Hazard Threat Level Justification A' Climatic Severe Weather Medium Drought High Flood Medium JuishfieationB Geological. Coastal hazards Medium Dam failure Medium Methane Caused Hazards Medium Seismic hazards High Justification C: Topographical Human hazards Medium A. Climatic Conditions: 1. Hot, dry, high velocity winds (called Santa Ana winds) are common in the area. These winds reduce the relative humidity causing severe drying of the vegetation and common building materials. These dry conditions predispose the area to large destructive fires (conflagration). High wind/windstorm events are predicted to continue to occur, and there is also the possibility of tornado and waterspout; the last tornado reported was in January 2010 with EF rating of F1 creating $500,000 in property damage). 2. The local climate is currently in a drought condition. Most of Orange County, including Huntington Beach, are experiencing D2 (Severe Draught Conditions). All indications are that these hazards will continue. Dry climatic conditions can create the potential for the rapid spread of fire in both vegetation and structures. The addition of fire protection systems will supplement the Fire Department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing or controlling the spread of fire. Fire sprinkler systems also provide an efficient use of water for the control and containment of fires. 3. The southern boundary of the City is along the Pacific Ocean. Winter storms and tropical storms come into the City from the ocean. These storms can create high winds and large ocean waves, which can cause flooding in Express Findings for Ordinance No. 4270 Page 2 of 7 large areas of the city. Along part of the eastern boundary of the City is the Santa Ana River. This river originates in the San Bernardino Mountains and flows through many communities until it terminates in the ocean at the Huntington Beach/Newport Beach border. The river is contained in a man- made channel. Heavy rainfall and urban runoff has potential to cause flooding in the flood plain due to the river and/or its tributaries. Despite flood control measure, flooding is Huntington Beach is expected to continue and the city remains vulnerable to larger flood events. B. Geological Conditions: 1. The City of Huntington Beach is located in an area of high seismic activity. The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs through the City, which is the largest of several faults. Studies reveal that this fault has the probability of generating a 6.6 magnitude earthquake. Because of the population density and the number of structures in the City, the risk of life loss and property damage due to earthquake activity is considerable. Experts predict a major earthquake in our area within the next 50 years. This situation creates the , need for both additional fire protection measures and automatic on-site fire protection for building occupants since a multitude of fires may result from breakage of gas and electric lines as a result of an earthquake. As noted by "Planning Scenario on a Major Earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone, 1988, State Department of Conservation," page 59, "unfortunately, barely meeting the minimum earthquake standards of building codes places a building on the verge of being legally unsafe". - 2. Much of the City is deemed to be in a methane district due to the natural detritus of organic matter in the Huntington Beach Oil Field, which was first • discovered in 1920. As a result, soils in many parts of the city may contain elevated levels of methane gas. Two areas of Huntington Beach are designated as "methane districts" by the City, where there is known elevated levels of methane-containing soils. This hazard presents a unique threat to the City and has the potential to cause fire, or environmental emergencies. 3. Significant areas of Huntington Beach contain corrosive soils that reduce the expected usable life of water services when metallic pipes are exposed to these soils. 4. According to the Administrative Draft, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) (2022), the City has large portions in the tsunami hazard zone subject to tsunami inundation, areas on land that can become quickly flooded when there is a tsunami. These flood conditions would impact the response and activity level of the Fire Department or cause damage to the structures and infrastructures. Express Findings for Ordinance No. 4270 Page 3 of 7 5. There are no dams in Huntington Beach. However, the city is on the floodplain on the Santa Ana River. There are two dams, Prado Dam and Seven Oaks Dam, which are located upstream of Huntington Beach on the Santa Ana River. Failure of either dam could cause damage in Huntington Beach. The primary threat to Huntington Beach is from the failure of Prado Dam. If the dam were to experience a partial or complete failure event, the resulting flood would likely overtop the banks of the Santa Ana River. Depending on the amount of water released,the failure of Prado Dam could results in floodwaters inundating all of Huntington Beach except for the area roughly bordered by Beach Boulevard, Talbert Avenue, Edwards Street, and the shore. 6. Traffic and circulation congestion presently existing in the City of Huntington Beach often places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk. This condition will be exacerbated by any major disaster, including any earthquake wherein damage to the highway system will occur. This condition makes the need for additional on-site protection for property occupants necessary. 7. Untreated wood roofs cause or contribute to serious fire hazard and to the rapid spread of fires when such fires are accompanied by high winds. Pieces of burning wooden roofs become flying brands, are carried by the wind to other locations, and thereby spread fire quickly. Past Grand Jury Report findings support this concern. • C. Topographical Conditions: 1. None used D. Administrative: 1. This amendment is necessary for administrative clarification as permitted by Health and Safety Code section 18909, and does not modify a Building Standard pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7. This amendment establishes administrative standards for the effective enforcement of building standards throughout the City of Huntington Beach. 2. The California Model Building Security Ordinance (CMBSO), published in January 1978, was drafted by the California Crime. Prevention Officers Association in conjunction with the California Attorney General's Office and addresses both residential and nonresidential structures. Many cities and counties have adopted the CMBSO, receiving national exposure through Express Findings for Ordinance No. 4270 Page 4 of 7 manufacturers associations and publications in crime prevention literature. The City of Huntington Beach adopted the Building Security Ordinance and notified all builders concerning the code.

The applicable finding for each amendment, addition, or deletion from the Title 24, Part 9, California Fire Code (CFC), is defined herein. The basis of conditions are described in the Administrative Draft, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) (2022). The following conditions will be considered as justification for all amendments proposed.

Because of the population density and the number of structures in the City, the risk of life loss and property damage due to earthquake activity is considerable. Justification.C: Topographical The amendment is justified based on the local topographical condition. Human-caused hazards include terrorism and hazardous materials releases. In addition, the population density, traffic congestion, road design and the impacts of the coastline on emergency response are considered: 1. The City has a population of 198,711 (US Census 2020) people in 27 square miles. The daytime population increases significantly in the summer due to beach related activities; the City hosts more than 16 million beach visitors each year. 2. Heavy traffic is common on the City streets and roadways. There are two state highways (Beach Boulevard with 94,000 vehicles/day and Pacific Coast Highway with 43,000 vehicles/day) and a major freeway (1-405 with 250,000 vehicles/day) routed through the City. 3. There are also numerous narrow alleys and cul-de-sacs present. The ability for fire apparatus access is critical for timely emergency response. The regulation of these access routes is necessary to help provide reasonable response times. 4. The southeast border of the city is the Pacific Ocean,which prevents mutual aid responses from 1/3 of the perimeter of the city.

That the Ordinance No. 4189 of the City of Huntington Beach entitled Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 17.56 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Adopting the California Fire Code and all other ordinances or parts of laws in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. SECTION 2. Findings. The following findings are hereby adopted in support of Chapter 17.56 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code: The City of Huntington Beach is aware that due to climatic, geological and topographical conditions, there is potential for disasters and major fires within the City. The applicable finding for each amendment, addition, or deletion from the Title 24, Part 9, California Fire Code (CFC) is listed in Section 3 of this ordinance. The basis of conditions are found in the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan(LHMP) (2022). The following conditions will be considered: Hazard Threat Level Justification A: Climatic Severe Weather Medium Drought High Flood Medium Justification B: Geological Coastal hazards Medium Dam failure Medium Methane Caused Hazards Medium Seismic hazards High Justification C: Topographical Human hazards Medium ORDINANCE NO. 4268 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS Severe Weather • Hot, dry, high velocity winds (called Santa Ana winds) are common in the area. These winds reduce the relative humidity causing severe drying of the vegetation and common building materials. These dry conditions predispose the area to large destructive fires (conflagration). High wind/windstorm events are predicted to continue to occur, and there is also the possibility of tornado and waterspout; the last tornado reported was in January 2010 with EF rating of Fl creating $500,000 in property damage). Drought • The local climate is currently in a drought condition. Most of Orange County, including Huntington Beach, are experiencing D2 (Severe Draught Conditions). All indications are that these hazards will continue. Dry climatic conditions can create the potential for the rapid spread of fire in both vegetation and structures. The addition of fire protection systems will supplement the Fire Department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing or controlling the spread of fire. Fire sprinkler systems also provide an efficient use of water for the control and containment of fires Flood • The southern boundary of the City is along the Pacific Ocean. Winter storms and tropical storms come into the City from the ocean. These storms can create high winds and large ocean waves, which can cause flooding in large areas of the city. Along part of the eastern boundary of the City is the Santa Ana River. This river originates in the San Bernardino Mountains and flows through many communities until it terminates in the ocean at the Huntington Beach/Newport Beach border. The river is contained in a man- made channel. Heavy rainfall and urban runoff has potential to cause flooding in the flood plain due to the river and/or its tributaries. Despite flood control measure, flooding is Huntington Beach is expected to continue and the city remains vulnerable to larger flood events. GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS Coastal hazards • According to the Administrative Draft, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan(LHMP) (2022)the City has large portions in the tsunami hazard zone subject to tsunami inundation, areas on land that can become quickly flooded when there is a tsunami. These flood conditions would impact the response and activity level of the Fire Department. 22-11785/291660 2 ORDINANCE NO. 4268 Dam Failure • There are no dams in Huntington Beach. However, the city is on the floodplain on the Santa Ana River. There are two dams, Prado Dam and Seven Oaks Dam, which are located upstream of Huntington Beach on the Santa Ana River. Failure of either dam could cause damage in Huntington Beach. The primary threat to Huntington Beach is from the failure of Prado Dam. If the dam were to experience a partial or complete failure event,the resulting flood would likely overtop the banks of the Santa Ana River. Depending on the amount of water released, the failure of Prado Dam could results in floodwaters inundating all of Huntington Beach except for the area roughly bordered by Beach Boulevard, Talbert Avenue, Edwards Street, and the shore. Methane-Caused Hazards • Much of the City is deemed to be a methane district due to the natural detritus of organic matter in the Huntington Beach Oil Field, which was first discovered in 1920. As a result, soils in may parts of the city may contain elevated levels of methane gas. Two areas of Huntington Beach are designated as "methane districts" by the City, where there is known elevated levels of methane-containing soils. This hazard presents a unique threat to the City and has the potential to cause fire, or environmental emergencies. Seismic hazards • The City of Huntington Beach is located in an area of high seismic activity. The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs through the City, which is the largest of several faults. Studies reveal that this fault has the probability of generating a 6.6 magnitude earthquake. Because of the population density and the number of structures in the City, the risk of life loss and property damage due to earthquake activity is considerable. TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS Human hazards Human-caused hazards include terrorism and hazardous materials releases. In addition, the population density, traffic congestion, road design and the impacts of the coastline on emergency response are considered: 1. The City has a population of 198,711 (US Census 2020) people in 27 square miles. The daytime population increases significantly in the summer due to beach related activities; the City hosts more than 16 million beach visitors each year. 2. Heavy traffic is common on the City streets and roadways. There are two state highways (Beach Boulevard with 94,000 vehicles/day and Pacific Coast Highway with 43,000 vehicles/day) and a major freeway (I-405 with 250,000 vehicles/day) routed through the City. 22-11785/291660 3 ORDINANCE NO. 4268 3. There are also numerous narrow alleys and cul-de-sacs present. The ability for fire apparatus access is critical for timely emergency response. The regulation of these access routes is necessary to help provide reasonable response times. 4. The southeast border of the city is the Pacific Ocean, which prevents mutual aid responses from 1/3 of the perimeter of the city. 22-11785/291660 4 00 m O.

Such changes or modifications must be reasonably necessary because of climatic, geographic or topographical conditions. The California Building Standards Commission adopts and publishes the California Building Standards Code (Title 24 California Code of Regulations) every three years. The 2022 Edition of the California Code of Regulations Title 24, which incorporates the international model codes, becomes effective on January 1, 2023. The 2022 California Fire Code is based upon the 2021 International Fire Code. If approved, Ordinance No. 4268 will amend Chapter 17.56 of Huntington Beach Municipal Code by repealing references to the prior editions of the model codes. Adopting the 2022 California Fire Code would coincide with the adoption of the 2022 California Building and Residential Code by the Department of Community Development, scheduled to also take effect January 1, 2023.
