3 17.04 OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE, AND ADOPTING
A NEW CHAPTER 17.04, FIRE PREVENTION CODE BASED ON
4 THE 2013 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE.
5 WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code Section 17958 mandates that the Carlsbad
6 Fire Department shall adopt ordinances or regulations imposing the same requirements as are
7 contained in the regulations adopted by the State pursuant to Health & Safety Code, Section
8 17922; and
WHEREAS, the State of California is mandated by Health & Safety Code Section
17922 to impose the same requirements as are contained in the 2013 California Fire Code,
hereinafter referred to collectively as the Fire Code; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has adopted and published California Code of
Regulations Title 24, Part 9 as the California Fire Code, effective January 1, 2014; and
WHEREAS, on January 1, 2014, all existing fire code adoptions and
amendments of local agencies automatically reverted to the new State code unless new local
adoptions and local amendments are made; and
WHEREAS, the State of California is mandated by Health & Safety Code section
17922 to impose the same requirements as are contained in the 2013 California Fire Code, and
together with the Carlsbad Fire Department local amendments, these shall be the Carisbad Fire
Department Fire Code; and
WHEREAS, code amendments adopted by the State of California shall take
precedence over the 2013 California Fire Code language. The 2013 California Fire Code
language shall be used for those code sections not adopted by the State; and
WHEREAS, local amendments adopted by the Carisbad Fire Department shall
take precedence over the 2013 California Fire Code; and
WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code Section 17958.5 permits the Cartsbad Fire

local conditions; and

1 WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that the Carisbad
2 Fire Department before making any local amendments pursuant to Section 17958.5 make
3 express findings that such local amendments are needed due to climatic, geographic, or
4 topographic conditions; and
5 WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Carisbad, California does herewith find
6 that the City of Carisbad has certain climatic, geologic, and topographical features that can have
7 a deleterious effect on emergency services such as fire protection and emergency medical
8 services; and
9 WHEREAS, the Carisbad Fire Department finds that the local amendments to the
2013 California Fire Code are reasonably necessary because of the local climatic, geological,
11 and topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, this finding recognizes regional geologic conditions and the
13 likelihood of numerous structure fires following a greater magnitude seismic event. It also
considered the limited ability of local emergency sen/ices to provide fire protection due to
extraordinary service demands following such events; and
WHEREAS, further basis for the finding is concern for local topographic
conditions and irregular elevations along primary travel routes throughout the City. These
conditions impede the rapid deployment and effectiveness of emergency resources; and
WHEREAS, certain amendments to the 2013 California Fire Code serve to
mitigate to the extent possible said deleterious effects that climatic and topographical conditions
within the City can create an extreme fire danger and modification to the California Fire Code is
necessary for community health and safety; and
WHEREAS, Section 50022.1 through 50022.10, inclusive, of the Government
Code and Section 13869 of the Health and Safety Code, provide authority for the adoption by
reference of codes, or portion of such codes; and
