STAFF REPORT
RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
Date: November 16, 2016
To: Board President L. Dennis Michael and Members of the Board of Directors
John R. Gillison, District CEO
From: Mike Costello, Fire Chief
By: Rob Ball, Fire Marshal
Subject: Consideration to approve a Resolution that sets forth the findings that allow the
Board to make amendments and other changes to the 2016 California Fire Code
by way of an Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of Directors of the Fire District adopt Resolution 16-029 that
makes express findings of fact as required by Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7. These
findings of fact, based on local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions, are necessary to
provide the legal justification for making local changes and/or amendments to the California Fire
Code.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
Health and Safety Code Section 17958 provides that the District shall adopt ordinances and
regulations imposing the same, modified, or changed requirements as those that are contained in
the regulations adopted by the State of California. Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5(a)
permits the District to make changes or modifications to the California Fire Code when such
changes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical
conditions. Section 17958.7 of the Health and Safety Code requires that the Board, before making
any changes or modifications to the California Fire Code, make an express finding that such
changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or
topographical conditions.
Counsel has advised that the express findings should be adopted in a resolution of the Board that is
separate from the ordinance that adopts the Fire Code. However, to comply with the requirements
of the Health and Safety Code, both the adopting ordinance and the findings resolution need to be
approved and adopted in conjunction with each other.
As in years past, District staff has determined that local climatic, geological, and topographical
conditions do exist that make changes and modifications to the California Fire Code reasonably
necessary. It is recommended that the Board simply formalize those findings by way of this
resolution.
