ORDINANCE - Amend Redding Municipal Code Chapter 9.20 - Fire Prevention
(F-210 & P-150-070)
Fire Chief Fry recalled that at its meeting of September 16, 2003, the City Council
considered a request by the Shasta Builders' Exchange to amend the existing fire prevention
ordinance regarding fire sprinkler systems in buildings under 11,300 square feet in size. At
that time, City Council directed staff to prepare a report providing alternatives regarding
possible building-use exceptions and more specific installation costs. Pursuant to that
direction, Chief Fry related that staff met with representatives ,of the Shasta Builders'
Exchange and developed a proposal which would provide a fire sprinkler system for light
hazard commercial uses (such as offices) that is less expensive to design and install while
still providing fire and life safety protection. He explained that a new, smaller, and less
costly system has come on the market recently which is designed to function specifically on
smaller buildings that will not require high volume water flows.
