Subject:Ratification of Rodeo Hercules Fire Protection District Fire
Code
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Order ratifies the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District’s adoption of the 2010 California Fire Code with the
District’s local amendments. This Board Order modifies the District’s ordinance by providing for the retention of
Board of Supervisors’ discretion for final County approval of entitlements, completion of development
improvements, and issuing of County stop work orders within the unincorporated areas of the County that are within
the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District. This Board Order also provides for the retention of the County’s
authority to regulate when state-adopted building standards codes and related codes are involved in order to achieve
unincorporated area uniformity for matters such as park access, public road standards and street names. This Board
Order does not modify any of the requirements of the District’s Ordinance No. 2010-1 concerning fire sprinkler
systems in buildings.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Rodeo Hercules Fire Protection District will not be able to satisfy legal requirements for adoption of the 2010 Fire
Code.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
