ORDINANCE NO. 1974
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE
BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2019
CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE (TITLE 24, PART 9, CFC) AND THE 2018 EDITION OF
THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE
The City Council of the City of Burlingame ordains as follows:
Section 1. The City of Burlingame is located between the Santa Cruz Mountains
foothills and San Francisco Bay, with a number of substantial creeks flowing through highly
developed residential and industrial areas. It is surrounded by large areas of open space
maintained in natural condition, as well as having a significant natural canyon in the center of
residential area. The City normally receives no measurable precipitation between May and
October, and it can often extend into late October or early November. During this period,
average temperatures range between 70° F and 90° F, and strong winds come down the foothills.
These conditions eliminate most of the moisture in the natural vegetation and heavily wooded
hillsides. Recent experience with statewide incidents proves that hazardous conditions exist
year-round. In addition, many wood roofs over wood construction predominate the residential
areas. The City is directly east of the San Andreas Fault, and much of the highly developed part
of the City is located along the front of the Bay, some on fill. The foothill areas have a variety
soil formations with steep canyons and heavy precipitation. Fires in the community could
quickly spread because of the extensive, natural vegetation throughout the City. The City has a
number of highly developed commercial areas with older buildings, and an industrial area that is

filled with mixed uses utilizing various materials that could be highly hazardous. In addition,
heavily traveled approach and departure routes for San Francisco International Airport are
immediately adjacent to or over the City. Much of the residential areas that are immediately
adjacent to woodland and canyon are served by narrow one- or two-lane roads with challenging
access caused by the steepness of the terrain. Access by fire suppression equipment is extremely
limited by both topography and access. It is only through strong building standards and effective
fire prevention and containment programs that citizens will receive the protection they deserve,
and that citizens will be able to obtain reasonably priced insurance for their homes and
businesses. In seeking to attain these goals, the fire prevention standards in Title 17 are adopted.
Section 2. In addition, in order to provide appropriate, clear information to
applicants for construction approvals, Section 17.04.020 is adopted to conform Title 17 to Title
18 and the Zoning Code requirements established in the Municipal Code.
Section 3. The City operates its own sanitary sewer system and water quality
control plant and is subject to State and Federal laws regarding both point and non -point
discharges. Section 17.04.105 is adopted to ensure responsibility for hazardous materials and to
clarify liability to assist the City in meeting its responsibilities regarding those laws as well as
protecting the public safety and welfare.
Section 4. Chapter 17.04 is amended to read as follows:
