remedy such violations or defects within a reasonable time and, when not otherwise
specified each day that a violation occurs or continues, after a final notice has been
delivered shall constitute a separate offense. The application of both penalties shall not
be held to prevent the enforced correction of prohibited conditions.

-21-
Ordinance No. 17 8 8
within ten (10) days from the date of the decision. The provisions of this section shall
not apply to corrective actions for the clearance of brush or vegetative growth from
structures as outlined in Item 16.2 of Appendix II -A of the Fire Code, as amended in
Section 4.08.120 of this code, or to matters for which an appeal is provided pursuant to
4.08.140(A) above.
DIVISION 2. All former Ordinances or parts thereof conflicting or
inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance or the Code hereby adopted are
hereby repealed.
DIVISION 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity
of the remaining portion of this Ordinance. The City Council of the City of San Rafael
hereby declares that it would have adopted the Ordinance and each section,
subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases shall be declared invalid.
DIVISION 4. Health And Safety Code sections 17958.5, 17958.7, and
18941.5 require that findings be made in order to exceed the requirements found in the
California Building Standards Code based on local climatic, geologic, or topographic
conditions. Some of the amendments to the Fire Code made by the City of San Rafael
include provisions that are more restrictive than the 2001 California Building Standards
Code (Title 24, Part 9). Therefore, the San Rafael City Council hereby finds that these
more restrictive provisions in the Fire Code are reasonably necessary because of the
following local climatic, geological and topographical conditions:
Climatic conditions
a. Because most of the annual rainfall in San Rafael occurs during the winter, the
summer months bring on a pseudo drought condition every year. The lack of
summer rain combined with hot, windy days create conditions that could
dangerously spread fires.
b. Because most of the annual rainfall in San Rafael occurs during the winter, and
because some portions of San Rafael are subject to tidal influences, there are times
that flooding conditions may restrict the Fire Department's ability to respond to fires.
c. Because San Rafael has a "Mediterranean" climate, which may cause hotel
guests to open windows in their rooms to allow the fresh air in. This condition, if
window openings are not properly protected, could allow children to fall out and
injure themselves or die.
II. Geologic conditions
-22-
Ordinance No. 1788
a. Because San Rafael lies near several earthquake faults, there are significant
potential hazards such as road closures (resulting from landslides or Highway 101
failure), fires, collapsed buildings and isolation of residents requiring assistance.
b. Because San Rafael is the major economic center of Marin County and is
situated along the Highway 101 corridor, traffic congestion can create conditions
that may restrict the Fire Department's ability to respond to fires.
c. Because San Rafael lies near several earthquake faults. This creates potential
hazards such as a child standing next to an unprotected window during an
earthquake and falling out and injuring themselves or dying.
III. Topographic conditions
Because much of San Rafael is located in hilly areas, there can be conditions
which may limit the ability of the Fire Department to respond to and contain fires
such as steepness of grade, narrow and winding roads, and water supplies.
Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 further requires that the modification or
change be expressly marked and identified as to which each finding refers. Therefore,
the San Rafael City Council finds that the following table provides code sections, that
have been modified in Division 1, Section 4.08.120 of this Ordinance, which are
building standards as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 18909, and the
associated referenced conditions for modification due to the local climatic, geological
and topographical reasons.
