I. FIRE SAFETY.-RESTAURANTS/SPRINKLERS
The Fire Chjef reviewed with council a survey of restaurants in the city which
have offjce or fiving quarters above them and the associated fire dangers. He
also rev'iewed the non-sprinklered hotels within the city. Council reviewed the
alternatjves of requiring sprinkler systems, hand-wire smoke detectors or in-
creased construction separation between occupancies. It was the consensus of
the council that we should amend our fire code to require additional hard wire
smoke detectors in the corridors and public areas of buildings w1th restaurants
which have residential or offjce uses above them. In areas of reconstruction,
such as the Burlingame Hotel , council also would like to require hard wire smoke
detectors within each residential unit. The time line discussed by council con-
cerning retroactive appl ication of the new code amendments would be six months
for residential units and one year for office. Council also authorized the Fjre
Chief to meet wjth the non-sprinklered hotels to discuss with them increas-
ing the fire protection in rooms and public areas. Staff will prepare code
amendments for council considerat.ion in June.
