EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Following the Fire Department's recommendation, the Petaluma City Council approved Ordinance No. 2194 on September 20, 2004, requiring installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in the Historic Downtown Business District. The property owner is responsible for connecting to fire service laterals installed by the City and for installation of the automatic fire sprinkler system in their building or basement. The proposed resolution provides an incentive to property owners to install automatic fire sprinklers by reimbursing their costs at 10% for a maximum of $5,000. 2. BACKGROUND: On November 4, 2004, Ordinance No. 2194 NCS (Ordinance) requiring the installation of automatic fire sprinklers in pre-existing buildings in the Historic Downtown Business District became effective. The purpose of the Ordinance is to protect the Historic Downtown Business District, which has experienced 16 major building fires since 1960. A copy of the Ordinance is provided in Attachment A. In accordance with the Ordinance, the City is to install an appropriate sized water main and laterals to the curb line. The property owner is responsible for installation of the lateral service from the curb line into the building and for installation of the automatic fire sprinkler system inside the building. In 2004, the Department of Water Resources and Conservation funded installation of fire service water mains and fire service laterals for the Historic Downtown Business District in Kentucky Blvd. at a construction cost of $432,000. Buildings adjacent to this water main that have basements or space below grade must install automatic fire sprinklers in their basements or space below grade by December 31, 2010. All buildings adjacent to this main must install automatic fire sprinklers throughout the structure by December 31, 2016. To date no building on Kentucky Blvd. has connected to the new fire service water mains (two buildings and one basement structure on Kentucky Blvd. had fire sprinklers prior to construction of the water mains). The automatic fire sprinkler ordinance for buildings on Petaluma Blvd. North does not become effective until the City finances, designs and constructs the necessary water mains and fire service laterals. Once this construction is complete, adjacent buildings have six years to install automatic fire sprinklers in their basements and space below grade, and twelve (12) years to install automatic fire sprinklers throughout the structure. The cost to provide this water main and the associated laterals is estimated at $Imillion. The City Council directed City Management to provide property owners in the Historic Downtown Business District with an incentive to install automatic fire sprinklers. The attached resolution provides an incentive as follows: An incentive of 10% of the construction costs for installation of the automatic fire sprinklers, not too exceed $5,000. Separate incentives for installation of automatic fire sprinklers in the basement and in the above -grade structure. Incentive is paid after the sprinkler installation has been inspected by the City. 3. ALTERNATIVES: Alternatives available for this resolution include: Adopt the resolution. Adopt the resolution with modifications. Direct City Management to take other action. 4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There are approximately 65 buildings in the District. Two buildings have existing basement sprinklers, six have sprinklers in the structure. These buildings would not be eligible for the incentive program. The remaining buildings and their associated basements would be eligible for the program. It has yet to be determined how many of the remaining buildings have basements. Under the proposed program, property owners would be eligible for separate incentives for the basement sprinklers and the structure sprinklers. Therefore the estimated total cost of the program is $295,000 (59 structures only, no basements) to $610,000 (59 structures and 63 basements). This program would be funded by the Redevelopment Agency beginning in FY 06-07. 5. CONCLUSION: The proposed automatic fire sprinkler retrofit incentive program for the District would provide property owners with a financial incentive to install automatic fire sprinklers per the Ordinance. 6. OUTCOMES OR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS THAT WILL IDENTIFY SUCCESS OR COMPLETION: Installation of automatic fire sprinklers in buildings in the District. RECOMMENDATION: City Management recommends the City Council consider and discuss the proposed resolution and automatic fire sprinkler retrofit incentive program for the Historic Downtown Business District.

A copy of the text of such changes or modifications is attached. FINDINGS Pursuant to Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7(0) of the State of California Health and Safety Code. the governing body of the City of Petaluma has determined and finds that all the attached changes or modifications are needed and are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological and topographic conditions as discussed below. LOCAL CONDITIONS: Local conditions have an adverse effect on the prevention of (1) major loss fires, (2) major earthquake damage, and (3) the potential for life and property loss, making necessary changes or modifications in the Uniform Fre Code and the State Building Standards Code in order to provide a reasonable degree of property security, and fire and life safety in the City of Petaluma. Below are fisted adverse local climatic, geological and topographic conditions. CLIMATIC Precioitation: Precipitation ranges from 20 inches to approximately 25 inches per year. Approximately ninety percent (90%) falls during the months of November through April, and 10% from May through October. In 1994-1995, severe flooding occurred during the months of January and March 1995 and 1998. Relative Humiditv: Humidity generally ranges from 5011D during daytime 86,10 at night. It drops to 20,10 during the summer months and occasionally drops lower during the months of September through November. Temperatures: Temperatures have been recorded as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Average summer highs are -in the 78-85 degree range. Winds: Prevailing winds are from the northwest. However, winds are experienced from virtually every direction at one time or another. Velocities are generally in the 5-15 mph range, gusting to 7.4-30 mph, particularly during the summer months. Extreme winds, up to 50 mph, have been known to occur. Summary: These local climatic conditions affect the acceleration intensity, and size of fire in the community. Times of little or no rainfall, of low humidity and high temperatures create extremely hazardous conditions, particularly as they relate to wood shake and shingle roof fires and 15 Ordinance No. 2194 N.C.S. Page 6 1 conflagrations, The winds experienced in this area can have a tremendous impact upon 2 structure fires in buildings in close proximity to one another. Winds con carry sparks and burning 3 branches to other structures, thus spreading the fire and causing conflagrations, In building fires, 4 winds can literally force fires back into the building and create a blowtorch effect, in addition to 5 preventing "natural" ventilation and cross-ventilofion efforts. In the City's Historic Downtown 6 Business District particularly, these conditions con create an extremely hazardous situation 7 because of the densely situated buildings in that district, many of which are large, old, wooden S buldings built without modem fire protection. 9 10 GEOLOGICAL AND TOPOGRAPHIC 11 The fire environment of a community is primarily a combination of two factors: the area's 12 physical geographic characteristics and the historic pattern of urban -suburban development. 13 These two factors, alone and combined, create a mixture of environments which ultimately 14 determine the area's fire protection needs. 15 16 The basic geographical boundaries of the city include hills to the south and west, and valley 17 floor in the central area and to the north and east. The Petaluma River bisects the city through 13 the central area Because of the size of the City of Petaluma (12 square miles), the 19 characteristics of the fire environment changes from one location to the next, Therefore the city 20 has not one, but a number of, fire environments; each of which has its individual fire protection 21 needs. a� 23 The service area of the City of Petaluma has a varied topography and vegetative cover. A 24 conglomeration of bay, plains, hills and ridges make up the terrain.' Development has occurred 25 on the flat lands in the central and eastern portions of the city. However, over the last ten years, 26 development has spread into the hills and the smaller valleys and canyons. 27 28 Seismic Location: The relatively young geological processes that have created the Son 29 Francisco Bay Area are still active today. Two active earthquake faults (5on Andreas and the 30 Heoldsburg-Rodgers Creek) affect the Petaluma area. Approximately 50% of the city's land 31 surface is in the high -to -moderate seismic hazard zones. 32 33 Size and Pooulotion: The City of Petaluma covers 12 square miles including an urban population 34 estimated at 56,000. Within the city are three 13) fire stations and a total of 54 fire personnel. The 35 Fire Department handles diverse responsibilities including wild land and urban fires, freeway, air, 36 rail and medical emergencies. 37 38 T000araohv: The city's service area is a conglomeration of bay plains, hills. valleys, and ridges. 39 The flatter lands are found in the central and eastern portions of the city. Most of the existing 40 urban and suburbanized areas are on relatively flat lands (0 - 57o) slope. 41 42 Future residential development is also proposed for the hill areas south and west of the city. The 43 majority of the hillsides in these areas have slopes ranging from 15 - 307c. Correspondingly, there 44 is much diversity in slope percentages. Slope is an important factor in fire spread. As a basic 45 rule of thumb, the rate of spread will double as the slope percentage doubles, all other factors 46 remaining the same. 47 48 Veaetofion: Petcluma's semi -arid Mediterranean -type climate produces vegetation similar to 49 that of most of Sonoma County. 50 16 Ordinance No. 2194 N.C.S. Page 7 I Approximately half of all the structures in the city have combustible wood -shingle or shake roofs. 2 This very flammable material is susceptible to ignition by embers from a wild land fire, furthering 3 the spread of fire to adjacent buildings. 4 5 Summary The above local geological and topographic conditions enhance the magnitude, 6 exposure, accessibility problems, and fire hazards presented to the City of Petaluma. Fre 7 following an earthquake has the potential of causing greater loss of life and damage than the 3 earthquake itself. 9 10 The majority of the City's industrial complexes are located in the highest saismic risk zones, The 11 highest seismic risk zone also contains the largest concentration of hazardous materials. 12 Hazardous materials, particularly toxic gases, could pose the greatest threat to the largest 13 number, should a significant seismic event occur. The City's resources would have to be 14 prioritized to mitigate the greatest threat, and may likely be unavailable for fires in smaller single - 15 dwellings and structures. 16 17 Other variables may tend to intensify the situation: 13 19 The extent of damage to the water system, the extent of isolation due to bridge and/or freeway 20 overpass collapse, the extent of roadwaydamage and/or amount of debris blocking the 21 roadways, climatic conditions (hot, dry weather with high winds); time of day will influence the 22 amount of traffic on roadways and could intensify the risk of life during norma(business hours. 23 24 The availability of timely mutual aid or assistance from neighboring departments, which could 25 also have emergencies at the same time. The large portion of dwellings with wood shingle roof 26 coverings could result in conflagrations. 27 28 The dense configuration of older wooden buildings in the Historic Downtown Business Dishict 29 would also be susceptible to conflagration which possibly can be mitigated by requiring the 30 additional fire protection measures provided in this ordinance. 31 32 CONCLUSION 33 Local climatic, geological and topographic conditions Impact fire protection efforts, and the 34 frequency, spread, acceleration, intensity and size of fire involving buildings in this community. 35 Further, they impact potential damage to all structures from earthquake and subsequent fire. 36 Therefore it is found to be reasonably necessary that the Uniform Fire Code be changed or 37 modified to mitigate the effects of the above conditions. 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 17 Ordinance No. 2194 KCS.
