STAFF ANALYSIS
The 1988 edition of the Un i form Fire Code and Un i form Fire Code Standards has been
thoroughly reviewed by the Division of Building & Safety staff and the Fire Division
staff and adoption of the code and standards, with certain amendments , is
reco11111ended.
BACKGROUND
The City of Englel>'ot,d has used the Uniform Fire Code as a model fire safety code
since 1979. The ;,u,form Fire Code is updated by •~e Western Fire Chief s Association
and the lnternat i<,nal Conference of Build i ng 0f t1ci al s every three yea rs in order to
keep pace with changing construct i on 1chnology and life safety concerns. In
preparation for the adoption of the 1988 edit i on of the Uniform Fire Code the
Division of Building and Safety has published information in the Englewood Citizen
regarding the proposed code adoption; has notified all gene r al contractors licensed
in Englewood of the proposed changes in the new code edition and of th e City 's
intent to pursue adoption of this edition; has met with the administrat i ve staff of
Swedish Medical Center to di scu s s the revisions in the new code edition which affect
construction and remodeling at the ho i·pital; and has met with the Englewood Chamber
of Co11111erce to explain the nature of t he change s in the new code edition . ,,.--
r ~
Develo~t Costs: More stringent provisions in the 1988 Uniform Fire Code for
au1tl-ulyrisfdenthl construction relating to fire protection systems
installation will increase the cost of building muiti -family dwe111ngs .
Revenue .Effect: There are currently no permit fees levied through the application
iiiaiii1orce•nt of the 1985 Uniform Fire Code or for the 1988 Uniform Fire Code.
