hazardous materials management. These amendments are provided in Exhibit 3 of Attachment 1. The Fire Code amendments referenced above affect several areas of the California Fire Code. Our local amendments continue and/or address changes in fire sprinkler and emergency fire alarm requirements in all buildings, as well as supervision and monitoring in buildings processing hazardous materials. They also provide clear authority for LPFD to continue to require annual submittals and recertifications of Hazardous Materials Business Plans. The remainder of staff's proposed local amendments are administrative in nature, and not subject to the legislative findings pursuant the California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7 Conclusion The adoption of these codes will provide the City with the most up-to-date standards available under state law. They will also provide greatly enhanced national and regional consistency, resulting in a more uniform and streamlined set of rules for permit applicants. The proposed ordinance provides that these changes will be effective January 1, 2020, the same time that the state-wide codes go into effect. All of these 2019 California Building Code proposed code adoptions and amendments are an effort to maintain the minimum fire and life safety standards that are currently in place to construct buildings throughout the City, as well as local amendments to address additional safety due to specific local conditions.
