6.P. - Page 2 of 5 <br />ANALYSIS <br />The Redwood City Fire Department ("Fire Department") tracks fire and life safety inspections on a FY basis <br />to align inspections with fees approved in the City's Fee Schedule. In compliance with Health and Safety <br />Code Sections 13146.2 and 13146.2, 100% of property types required by state mandate to be inspected <br />annually were inspected in FY 18/19. <br />Exhibit A of the resolution in Attachment A shows the FY 18/19 inspection results for the inspections <br />required by Health and Safety Code Sections 13146.2 and 13146.2. The state mandates that the listed <br />occupancy types receive an annual inspection. It does not mandate that any violations noted are corrected <br />within the annual cycle. However, the Fire Department has a relatively high rate of correction of all <br />violations on three property types (R2 — Multifamily Residential, E — Educational, R1 — Hotels/Motels) <br />considering the large amount of occupancies that are mandated to be inspected. The properties that did <br />not achieve complete correction of all violations within FY 18/19 are continuously contacted until <br />violations are corrected. Other occupancy types with mandatory annual inspections are Institutional Jails, <br />and High Rises, and Camps. Health and Safety Code Section 13146.4 does not require compliance <br />reporting for these occupancy types. <br />Starting in FY 19/20 the Fire Department has re -instituted inspecting non -mandated occupancies such as <br />businesses, mercantile, commercial, assembly, and industrial occupancies, which adds over 3,000 <br />inspections on a regular cycle. Additionally the Fire Department also conducts Wildland Urban Interface <br />inspections of properties in the hills of Redwood City on an annual basis. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact anticipated. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA <br />Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably <br />foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Public Notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 <br />hours prior to the meeting <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />195 <br />
