REPEALING CHAPTERS 10-1 THROUGH 10-7 OF THE DANVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE. Chapters 10-1 through 10-7 of the Danville Municipal Code are hereby repealed. SECTION 2. FINDINGS. The Danville Town Council makes the following findings with regard to adoption of this ordinance: A. California Health and Safety Code Section 13869.7 allows fire protection districts to adopt building standards more stringent that those adopted by the State Fire Marshall and contained in the State Building Code. Should a fire protection district do so, the cities and counties served by that district may ratify, modify or deny those standards after adopting written findings in support of such decision and must notify the district of that action. B. The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District has introduced Ordinance No. 34, which contains building standards more stringent than those adopted by the State Fire Marshall with respect to sprinkler requirements. C. The Danville Town Council modifies Ordinance No. 34 by denying Part 4, Changes to Building Standards, based on the following findings: i. The State Building Code contains requirements for fire sprinkler systems. ii. The cost of such sprinkler systems adds to the cost of construction for residential and commercial remodeling projects. iii. The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District provides outstanding fire protection service to Danville residents, as evidenced by their accreditation by the Commission on Fire Accreditation and the ISO 2 rating for the District. iv. Given the outstanding service provided by the District, the small number of structure fires occurring within the Town and the fire safety standards found in the State Building Code, the Town Council finds that the additional costs required by Ordinance No. 34 would constitute an undue burden on property owners within the Town.
