SUBJECT:

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FIRE CODE PORTION OF THE COUNTY CODE OF REGULATORY ORDINANCES AND RATIFYING A CONSOLIDATED FIRE CODE SHOWING ALL AMENDMENTS BY LOCAL FIRE DISTRICTS TO THE FIRE CODE PORTION OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE (DISTRICT:  ALL)

(CARRYOVER FROM 09/26/2001, AGENDA NO. 2)

On September 26, 2001 (2), your Board continued this item to Wednesday, October 10, 2001; directed the Chief Administrative Officer to bring language back that would reflect the appeal process in the State code and other options as appropriate, and to continue to work with various parties.

When a fire district board of directors adopts an ordinance more stringent than the State Building Standards Code, Health and Safety Code section 13869.7 states that the legislative body of the municipality must ratify the ordinance before it can become effective.  It is the intent of the State law that the legislative body officially approves the fire districts’ ordinances to ensure that each one is consistent and conforms to the goals of the legislative body.  The legislative body for fire districts in the unincorporated area is the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors.

Each of the seventeen fire districts that serve the unincorporated area has adopted an ordinance requiring ratification.  The Department of Planning and Land Use has reviewed each of the fire districts’ ordinances to determine if they should be recommended for ratification, amendment or denial.  In conjunction with this review, County staff worked closely with representatives from each fire district to create uniformity among all the districts’ fire codes and reduce the number of individual code amendments.  This resulted in many fire districts’ codes being amended to produce greater uniformity in the ratified fire code.  The districts worked with County staff and their efforts resulted in a large reduction in the number of code sections that were amended by the fire districts (from 31 to 7).

Additionally, as a result of this review process staff is recommending that three of the amendments adopted by the fire districts should be considered for inclusion in the County Fire Code as follows:

1.      Require fire sprinkler systems for hotels, apartments, and congregate residences with between 3 to 15 units; and,

2.      Add fire prevention requirements for greenwaste recycling facilities; and,

3.      Allow above ground storage tanks for up to 550 gallons of crankcase oil.

Staff is also recommending an amendment to the Board of Appeals section of the County Fire Code as a result of negotiations with the Building Industry Association.

These 4 proposed amendments and the fire district amendments recommended for ratification have been combined with the current County Fire Code to create a Consolidated Fire Code for use across the entire unincorporated area.  If approved, the Consolidated Fire Code will ratify the ordinances of 17 fire districts and benefit Department of Planning and Land Use customers by greatly simplifying the building design process related to fire prevention throughout the unincorporated area.  The Consolidated Fire Code will also enable Department of Planning and Land Use to further streamline the plan check process by allowing the review of the fire code portion of residential plans by County staff instead of sending customers to the fire districts.  Industry is very supportive of this since it will streamline the process and facilitate consistent enforcement and interpretation of fire codes throughout the unincorporated area.

Additionally, it is requested that the Board approve an amendment to Board Policy F-48, Review of Fire District Ordinances which contain Requirements that Exceed those of the State Fire Marshal, to reflect current organizational structure of the Department of Planning and Land Use.

There is no fiscal impact associated with these recommendations.

The adoption of the County Fire Code amendments and the ratification of the Consolidated Fire Code proposed in this letter would benefit the business community by improving customer service by reducing the number of local amendments to the State Fire Code and enhancing more consistent fire code enforcement throughout the unincoroporated area.  In addition, the plan check process will be streamlined in those fire districts where Department of Planning and Land Use staff is the primary contact for fire related plan review.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1.      Find in accordance with section 15061 (b)(3) of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the following action may have a significant effect on the environment.

Submit the Ordinance for further Board consideration and adoption (second reading) on October 17, 2001.

4.      Direct the Clerk of the Board to provide a certified copy of the ordinance, together with the adopted findings for the amendments to the County Code, and each of the ratified fire district ordinances which contain the associated findings made by each fire district, on file with the Clerk of the Board, to the California Building Standards Commission pursuant to California Health and Safety Code sections 13869.7 (c) and 17958.7.

5.      Approve amendment for Board of Supervisors Policy F-48, Review of Fire District Ordinances which contain Requirements that Exceed those of the State Fire Marshal.

This is a request for an amendment to the text and map of the Hidden Meadows Specific Plan (SPA 99-002) and a concurrent Rezone (R99-012) to accommodate the development proposed by two Tentative Maps (TM 5175RPL² and TM 5176RPL²) and two associated Major Use Permits (P99-013 and P99-014).  A total of 145.7 acres are proposed for change. The total is divided into the two Tentative Maps.  TM 5175RPL² is referred to as the “Oak Woodlands” and TM 5176RPL² is referred to as the “Island”.  The Oak Woodlands is, in turn, divided into two areas: Oak Woodlands 1 and Oak Woodlands 2.  The Oak Woodlands 1 area is currently designated as recreational open space and golf course and it is proposed to be designated for 10 single detached residential lots on minimum 11,000 square foot lots; the Oak Woodlands 2 area is currently designated for 120 townhome units and it is proposed to be changed to 60 single detached residential units on 4,500 square foot minimum lots and natural open space.  The “Island” area is currently designated for 160 single detached residential units with 12,000 square foot minimum lots and the project proposes to reduce the number of units to 131 and reduce the minimum lot size to 11,000 square feet.  Other proposed changes to the Specific Plan include: deletion of a 0.5-acre fire station site; eliminating previously approved changes to the golf course leaving it in its existing configuration; and eliminating previously proposed changes to the recreation facilities.  The proposed Zone Reclassification is required to accommodate the type and location of the proposed uses.  The proposed Major Use Permits are associated with the Tentative Maps and are required to establish building setbacks, provide for the maintenance of common open space and implement conceptual landscape plans.  The project is subject to the (21) Specific Plan Area (1.38) land use designation.  The Oak Woodlands is located northwest of the intersection of Mountain Meadow Road and Hidden Meadows Lane and southeast of the southerly terminus of Meadow Glen Way West.  The Island is a ridge running southeasterly of the intersection of Treeside Lane and Meadow Glen Way East.

SUBJECT:

STREET LIGHT PETITIONS IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN THE AREAS OF CASA DE ORO, LAKESIDE, SPRING VALLEY AND VISTA (DISTRICT: 2, 4 AND 5)

In areas of the County that developed before street lights were required and where lights are now desired, property owners may rectify this situation by forming or annexing to a zone within the San Diego County Street Lighting District. The Lighting District includes the entire unincorporated area, and is currently composed of two zones. Zone A provides street lighting and charges benefiting properties an annual assessment for operation and maintenance of the lights.  Properties in Zone B receive no lighting services but are not charged.

This item involves approval of ten petitions from property owners in the communities of Casa de Oro, Lakeside, Spring Valley and Vista to annex to Zone A for provision of street lights in their areas. In Board Policy J-20, Lighting District Zone Formation and Annexations, such petitions will be approved unless the weighted value of petition responses opposing the proposal exceeds those approving it.

The petitions for Explorer Place and Sunray Place were previously presented to the Board on December 6, 2000 (2a) and July 11, 2001 (7), as one petition and was continued to allow property owners to re-ballot based on separate boundaries for each of three streets.  Upon re-ballot, two of those streets, Explorer Place and Sunray Place, were approved by a majority of respondents and are included in today's recommendations for approval.  The Mars Way petition failed and requires no action.

Funds for processing the Casa de Oro, Riverview/Winter Gardens, and Riverside Drive petitions are provided through Community Development Block Grants (CDBG).  Costs to process the remaining petitions are an expense to benefiting property owners.  Costs to operate and maintain street lights are a regularly budgeted expense of the San Diego County Street Lighting District.  If approved, this request will result in no annual cost and will require no additional staff years.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.   Find, in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility the following actions may have a significant effect on the environment and are therefore not subject to CEQA.

2.  Approve the following Petitions:

a)      Casa de Oro (Casa de Oro) for 62 lights.

b)      Explorer Place (Casa de Oro) for two lights.

c)      Sunray Place (Casa de Oro) for four lights.

d)      Riverview/Winter Gardens (Lakeside) for 34 lights.

e)      Winter Gardens South Area #1(Lakeside) for seven lights.

f)        Winter Gardens South Area #2 (Lakeside) for five lights.

g)      Winter Gardens South Area #3 (Lakeside) for seven lights

h)      Riverside Drive (Lakeside) for seven lights.

i)        Cuyamaca Avenue (Spring Valley) for 17 lights

j)        Poinsettia Avenue (Vista) for four lights

ADVERTISE AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR JAMACHA BOULEVARD ROAD IMPROVEMENTS (DISTRICT: 2)

The Department of Public Works is responsible for approximately 1,900 miles of roads in unincorporated San Diego County.  County road crews inspect all maintained roads and prioritize them for preventive maintenance. Through scientific methods, staff determines which surface treatments provide the most economical and appropriate method of road repair and protection. One treatment option available, repairing distressed pavement, involves removal and replacement of failed sections of roadway.  Repairing distressed pavement is a maintenance activity that restores the structural integrity of the road and prevents future costly road repair.

This is a request for approval to advertise and subsequently award a contract to the lowest responsible bidder to repair distressed pavement on a 1.47-mile section of Jamacha Blvd. from Omega Street to Sweetwater Springs Blvd.

This proposal is budgeted in the FY 2001-02 Department of Public Works Detailed Work Program. Funding source is Gas Tax. If approved, this request will result in current year cost of $100,000, no annual cost and will require no additional staff years.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

1.     Find in accordance with Section 15301 of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines that this project is categorically exempt from provisions of CEQA because it consists of maintenance of existing facilities with no increase in capacity.

2.     Authorize the Director, Purchasing and Contracting, to take any action authorized by Section 403 of the Administrative Code with respect to contracting for the subject Public Works construction project.

3.     Designate the Director, Department of Public Works, as the County Officer responsible for administering the project.

SET HEARING FOR 10/31/2001

SET HEARING TO CONSIDER VACATING A PORTION OF ALVARADO STREET (VAC 01-007), FALLBROOK COMMUNITY PLANNING AREA (DISTRICT: 5)

This is a request to set a public hearing to consider vacating a portion of Alvarado Street (SC 10) in the community of Fallbrook. The portion to be vacated is approximately 56 feet long and 12 feet wide.  It is located east of the North Pico Avenue/Alvarado Street intersection adjacent to a commercially zoned lot (APN 103-263-19).  As requested by the North County Fire Protection District, the proposed vacation includes reservation of an 8-foot wide emergency access easement at the easternmost corner of the lot.

The portion of right-of-way proposed to be vacated was granted to the County of San Diego on October 30, 1969.  At that time, Alvarado Street (SC 10) was classified as a Collector Road.  A Collector Road requires 84 feet of total right-of-way.  On August 23, 1979 (10), the Board adopted GPA 79-CE which included the reclassification of Alvarado Street (SC 10), to a Light Collector. The County’s Public Road Standards for a Light Collector require only 60 feet of total right-of-way.  The area proposed for vacation is not needed to construct a Light Collector Road.  It is considered excess right-of-way and is no longer needed for public use.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

Direct the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to:

a)   Set a public hearing for October 31, 2001, at 9:00 A.M. to consider vacating a portion of Alvarado Street (SC 10) located in Fallbrook; and

b)   Provide notice required by law.

ON MOTION of Supervisor Cox, seconded by Supervisor Roberts, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, setting hearing for Wednesday, October 31, 2001.
