AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Carlene Saxton, Community Development Director
Danny Schultz, Deputy Building Official, Charles Abbott & Associates
DATE: 11/16/2022 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Ratifying Chapter 5 Section 507, Chapter 9
Section 903, and Appendix B of Ventura County Fire Protection
District Ordinance No. 32, Pertaining to Building Standards for
Application within the Jurisdictional Boundaries of the City of
Moorpark, and Rescinding Resolution No. 2019-3856; and Making a
Determination of Exemption Under CEQA in Connection Therewith
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On October 11, 2022, the Ventura County Fire Protection District (VCFPD) adopted
Ordinance No. 32, containing building standards more restrictive than those adopted by
the State Fire Marshal and contained within the California Building Code. The California
Health and Safety Code Section 13869.7 authorizes the Fire District to adopt such
standards but requires ratification by the legislative body where the standards apply; in
this case the cities that are served by the VCFPD.
The attached draft resolution ratifies Chapter 5 Section 507, Chapter 9 Section 903 and
Appendix B of the VCFPD Ordinance No. 32. Chapter 5 Section 507 and Appendix B
adopts building standards, relating to fire flow requirements; Chapter 9 adopts building
standards, relating to fire and life safety, which are more restrictive than those adopted
by the State Fire Marshal and contained within the California Building Standards Code.
California law requires building standards adopted by local jurisdictions that are more
restrictive than those adopted by the state to be enacted by ordinance within 180 days
after the state adopts and publishes the California Building and Fire Code.
Provisions contained in Chapter 5 Section 507 and Appendix B have been in effect within
the Fire District since January 1991 and are an integral part of the Fire District’s fire
protection plan. The California State Fire Marshal recently determined fire protection
water supplies to be classified as a building standard pursuant to California Health and
51
Honorable City Council
11/16/2022 Regular Meeting
Page 2
Safety Code Section 18909. As such, some amendments included in Chapter 5
Section 507 and Appendix B are more restrictive than the building standards contained
within the California Building Standards Code and must now be ratified by the local
legislative body of each jurisdiction served by the Fire District.
Building standards contained in Chapter 9 have been in effect since June 3, 1982, and
are an integral part of the Fire District’s fire protection plan. Modifications were adopted
in May of 2007 and are contained in Chapter 9. These modifications include provisions
to require the installation of an automatic sprinkler system in all occupancies except
Group U (e.g., storage sheds, detached garages).
California Health and Safety Code Section 13869.7 requires the Fire District to file
findings that support the need for more restrictive building standards based on local
climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Those findings were adopted by the
VCFPD’s Board of Directors by resolution on September 13, 2022. A copy of the Ventura
County Resolution No. 22-146 and associated findings are included as an attachment to
this staff report.
Ordinance No. 32 of the VCFPD amended the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code
and the 2019 Edition of the International Fire Code. It also repealed Fire Protection
District Ordinance No. 31, which had amended the 2019 Edition of the California Fire
Code and 2018 Edition of the International Fire Code. Since Chapter 9 of Fire Protection
District Ordinance No. 31 was ratified by City Council Resolution No. 2019-3856, that
Resolution should now be rescinded as it has been replaced by Chapter 5 Section 507,
Chapter 9 Section 903, and Appendix B of Ordinance No. 32.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This action is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA
Guidelines) by the general rule that CEQA only applies to “projects” that may have a
significant effect on the environment. The proposed action would ratify fire codes as
adopted by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors necessary to protect health and
safety. In this case, there is no possibility that the proposed action would have a
significant impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no direct fiscal impacts associated with this request.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action does not support a current strategic directive.

A DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION UNDER CEQA IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH
WHEREAS, the City of Moorpark lies within the jurisdictional boundaries of the
Ventura County Fire Protection District (VCFPD) and the VCFPD has responsibility for
fire protection within said jurisdictional boundaries; and
WHEREAS, on October 11, 2022, the Ventura County Fire Protection District
adopted Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 32, adopting the 2022 California Fire Code
(CFC), portions of the 2021 edition of the International Fire Code (IFC), portions of

WHEREAS, Chapter 5 Section 507, Chapter 9 Section 903, and Appendix B of
said amendments constitute amendments to building standards relating to fire and panic
safety and Fire Flow adopted by the State Fire Marshal and contained in the California
Building Standards Code; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13869.7(c) of the California Health and Safety
Code, amendments containing such building standards are not effective within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the City until ratified by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 9 contains similar building standards to those that have been
in effect and enforced within the County since June 3, 1982, prior to incorporation; and
WHEREAS, the building standards contained within said Chapter 9 are an integral
part of the VCFPD fire protection response plan; and
WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 2019-3856 previously ratified Chapter 9
of Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 31, which was superseded by Fire Protection
District Ordinance No. 32, and as such will no longer be valid and should be rescinded
upon the effective date of Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 32.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council has
determined that this Resolution amending Title 15 of the Moorpark Municipal Code is
exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant
to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) based
on the general rule that CEQA only applies to "projects" that may have a significant effect
on the environment. This Resolution would amend the Municipal Code related to building
standards necessary to protect health and safety. In this case, it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that this Resolution may have a significant impact on
the environment. Based on the foregoing, the City Council, based on its own independent
judgment, finds that the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from CEQA.
SECTION 2. CITY COUNCIL RATIFICATION: The City of Moorpark ratifies
without modification, Chapter 5 Section 507, Chapter 9 Section 903, and Appendix B to
the Ventura County Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 32 to be effective within
jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Moorpark on and after January 1, 2023.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and
shall cause a certified resolution to be filed in the book of original resolutions.

RESOLUTION NO. z 2 -) t/t.,
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE VENTURA COUNTY
FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT ADOPTING EXPRESS FINDINGS REGARDING
AMENDMENT AND ADOPTION OF 2022 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE
WHEREAS, the state has adopted the 2022 California Fire Code, California Code of
Regulations, Title 24, Part 9, contained in the California Building Standards Code, which
becomes effective on January 1, 2023;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 13869.7, the Ventura County
Fire Protection District ("Fire District") may establish more stringent building standards
than those adopted by the State Fire Marshal and contained in the California Building
Standards Code that are reasonably necessary to provide fire protection for life and
property because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions;
WHEREAS, on October 11, 2022, the Fire District intends to adopt certain more
stringent building standards, identified herein, in the 2022 Ventura County Fire Code,
Fire District Ordinance No. 32 ("2022 VCFC"); and
WHEREAS, the remainder of the proposed modifications to the 2022 California Fire
Code in the attached proposed 2022 VCFC are administrative and do not modify
building standards;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board hereby finds that the following
local climactic, geological or topographical conditions exist in Ventura County:
A. Ventura County experiences periods of high temperatures accompanied by low
humidity and high winds each year as well as periods of limited rainfall and
droughts. These conditions create an environment in which the Fire District
commits large numbers of firefighting resources to the control and
extinguishment of wild land fires. Additionally, wildland fires may impact
emergency response routes throughout the county, creating delays in response
times. Built in fire protection and reliable fire protection water supplies heighten
levels of protection for structures and assist the limited firefighting resources in
extinguishing or controlling of fires within structures and/or the wild land.
B. Ventura County is in a potential high activity seismic zone. After a large seismic
event, the potential for multiple fires occurring simultaneously will tax the
available firefighting resources. Additionally, seismic activity may impact
emergency response routes throughout the county, creating delays in response
times. Built in fire protection and reliable fire protection water supplies will assist
in extinguishment or controlling of fires within structures and thus increase the
availability of firefighting resources after seismic activity.
C. Ventura County has areas that are in wildland and wildland-urban interface
61
areas. Due to topography, access to structures in these areas may be impacted
causing delays in response time and delays in fire suppression efforts. An
extended response time will allow fires to grow beyond the control of initial attach
fire suppression resources. Structure fires in the hillside areas will have a
greater likelihood of starting a wildland fire, which may expose additional
structures to fire. As well, extended response times will delay structure defense
operations during a wildland fire. Built in fire protection and reliable fire
protection water supplies will assist in the extinguishment or controlling of fires
within structures and/or the wildland.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it is reasonably necessary because of these local
climatic, geological, or topographical conditions to modify sections 507, 903, and
Appendix B of the California Fire Code and adopt the 2022 California Fire Code with
those amendments as shown in the proposed 2022 VCFC, attached hereto, as follows:
• Add sections 507.6 and 507.6.1
• Add sections 903.1.2, 903.1 .3, and 903.1 .4,
• Amend sections 903.2 and 903.3.1.2.3
• Amend section B103.3
• Add section B103.4

FINDINGS
For revision of the Ventura County Fire Protection District Amendments to the 2022
California Fire Code of the California Code of Regulations Title 24 Part 9 and 2021
International Fire Code.
As required by the Health and Safety Code Section 13869.7, 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7,
and 18941.5, the Ventura County Fire Protection District does herewith make express
findings that amendments to the 2022 California Fire Code and 2021 International Fire
Code are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare due to
certain climatic, topographical, or geological features existing in the Ventura County.
Key to findings for amendments to Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations and
International Fire Code.
1.Climatic. Ventura County experiences periods of high temperatures
accompanied by low humidity and high winds each year as well as periods of
limited rainfall and droughts. These conditions create an environment in which
the Fire District commits large numbers of firefighting resources to the control
and extinguishment of wildland fires. Additionally, wildland fires may impact
emergency response routes throughout the county, creating delays in response
times. Built-in fire protection and reliable fire protection water supplies heighten
levels of protection for structures and assist the limited firefighting resources in
extinguishing or controlling of fires within structures and/or the wildland.
2.Geological. Ventura County is in a potential high activity seismic zone. After a
large seismic event, the potential for multiple fires occurring simultaneously will
tax the available firefighting resources. Additionally, seismic activity may impact
emergency response routes throughout the county, creating delays in response
times. Built-in fire protection and reliable fire protection water supplies will assist
in extinguishment or controlling of fires within structures and thus increase the
availability of firefighting resources after seismic activity.
3.Topographical. Ventura County has areas that are in wildland and wildland-
urban interface areas. Due to topography, access to structures in these areas
may be impacted causing delays in response time and delays in fire suppression
efforts. An extended response time will allow fires to grow beyond the control of
initial attach fire suppression resources. Structure fires in the hillside areas will
have a greater likelihood of starting a wildland fire, which may expose additional
structures to fire. As well, extended response times will delay structure defense
operations during a wildland fire. Built-in fire protection and reliable fire
protection water supplies will assist in the extinguishment or controlling of fires
within structures and/or the wildland.
4.Administrative. This amendment is necessary for administrative clarification or
to provide a greater level of fire and life safety. This amendment does not modify
a Building Standard pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections
13869.7,17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5.
