AND EMERGENCY SERVICES")
MAY 28, 1998
This is second reading and a public hearing for Ordinance No.
20-98 which amends Chapter 96, "Fire Safety and Emergency
Services" of the City Code. Specifically, it amends Section
96.16, "Certain Codes Adopted by Reference", by updating the
editions of certain National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
codes. In response to the compromise recommendation from the
High Rise Fire Safety Task Team and the Fire Department, NFPA 101
is amended to exclude Section 19-3.5.6 of Chapter 19, "Existing
Apartment Buildings" In lieu of Section 19-3.5.6, alternative
regulations regarding high rise apartment buildings are provided
for as set forth on page 5 of the ordinance.
In addition, Section 96.17, "Amendments", is deleted from the
City Code since all future amendments pertaining to a particular
NFPA code will be noted in Section 96.16. Furthermore, Section
96.46, "Aboveground Installations", is amended to provide that if
certain conditions are met, tanks exceeding 300 gallons in
capacity may be placed aboveground.
At first reading on May 19, 1998, the Commission passed the
ordinance by a 4 to 0 vote.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 20-98 on second and final
reading.
