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 the residential area. The City normally receives no measurable precipitation between May and October, and this dry period 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 of soil formations with steep canyons and heavy precipitation. Fires in the community could quickly spread because of the extensive, natural vegetation throughout the -1- ii DocuSign Envelope ID: 20ABB5A3-883A-468F-B329-OB8FOC9AE5C1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 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. -2- ii DocuSign Envelope ID: 20ABB5A3-883A-468F-8329-OB8FOC9AE5C1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Section 4.
