A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS DECLARING THAT THE ADOPTION
OF CERTAIN CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS TO THE STATE BUILDING
STANDARDS RELATING TO FIRE PROTECTION IS DETERMINED NECESSARY
FOR THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE, LIMB, PROPERTY, AND PUBLIC WELFARE
AND FURTHER THAT SUCH CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS ARE JUSTIFIED BY
ADVERSE LOCAL CLIMATIC AND GEOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS does hereby resolve
as follows:
That pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections
17958 . 5 and 17958 .7 , the Mayor and City Council of the City of
Redlands find that certain changes and modifications in the
provisions of state building standards are necessary because of
local conditions. The changes and modifications relate to
Sections 505, 1807, 3802, and 3803 of the Uniform Building Code,
1979 Edition, and are set forth in the City of Redlands Ordinance
No. 1751 .
The purpose of these changes and modifications are to protect
public safety, property, and public welfare from the increased
fire hazards of this Redlands area which include low humidity
climatic conditions together with high summer temperatures,
erratic wind conditions, and the proximity of the San Andreas
and San Jacinto seismic faults, faults which are potentially
active and each located less than four miles from the City.
History of property and life losses caused by the dry, hot,
windy climatic conditions and caused by seismic action demon-
strate the dangers and provides the need to cope with these
potential disasters by increased protection regulated by the
code changes and modifications .
ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 7th day of July, 1981 .
