Re: Adoption of Current Building, Trade, and Fire Codes
Town Council Meeting, April 26, 2022
Agenda Item:
The Town of Trophy Club is repealing current building standards codes and replacing them with the
following up to date nationally approved code sets: 2021-IBC, 2021-IRC, 2020-NEC, 2021-IMC,
2021-IPC, 2021-IECC, 2021-IPMC, 2021-IFGC, 2021-IFC, 2021-ISPSC, 2021-IEBC.
Background and Explanation:
The Building Code cycles are updated every three years by the various code bodies. Trophy Club last updated
to the 2015 Building and Fire codes in September of 2016. At that time, the most current codes
available were the 2015 codes. The codes are constantly changing for new materials and methods
and must be kept current to make the most efficient and best methods available for construction.
In addition, the Texas Legislature mandated that all municipalities in Texas begin enforcing the 2021
Energy Efficiency Code for all new constructions beginning September 2021. Adopting the current
energy code will require the adoption of the other codes due to the cross-referencing and continuity
of the other codes.
Additionally, for the Town to maintain its ISO rating, we must adopt the most current codes. ISO
requires the municipalities to maintain the most recent available building codes for maximum
ratings. Surrounding cities have either already updated their codes or are in the process of updating
their codes.
The amendments that we are proposing are the amendments recommended by the North Central
Texas Council of Governments for our region. These amendments ensure that the codes will fit the
conditions for our region and maintain continuity throughout our area.
Please note that all codes are 2021 except for the Electrical Code, which is on a different cycle. On

June 30, 2020, the Texas Commission on Licensing and Regulation adopted the 2020 NEC as the
electrical code for the state of Texas and established it as the “minimum standard” for all electrical
work in Texas covered by the Act. The effective date was November 1, 2020 (delayed from the
proposed date of September 1, 2020, due to COVID-19). The most recent code available for the
Electrical Code is 2020. The 2020 Electrical code is written to work with the 2021 Building, Fire, and
other trade codes.

Exhibit “A”
Amendments to the
2021 International Building Code
**Section 101.4; change to read as follows:
101.4 Referenced codes. The other codes listed in Sections 101.4.1 through 101.4.8
and referenced elsewhere in this code, when specifically adopted, shall be considered
part of the requirements of this code to the prescribed extent of each such reference.
Whenever amendments have been adopted to the referenced codes and standards, each
reference to said code and standard shall be considered to reference the amendments
as well. Any reference to NFPA 70 or the Electrical Code shall mean the Electrical Code
as adopted.
(Reason: Legal wording to recognize locally adopted codes and amendments adopted
with referenced codes. The former ICC Electrical Code is now Appendix K Chapter 27 of
this code but no longer called by that name.)
**Section 101.4.8; add the following:
101.4.8 Electrical. The provisions of the Electrical Code shall apply to the installation of electrical systems,
including alterations, repairs, replacement, equipment, appliances, fixtures, fittings and appurtenances
thereto.
(Reason: This was dropped when ICC quit publishing the ICC Electrical Code, but the Electrical Code still
should be referenced regardless of how it is adopted.)
**Sections 103 and 103.1; amend to insert the Department Name
Town of Trophy Club Department of Community Development
103.1 Creation of enforcement agency. The Town of Trophy Club Department of
Community Development is hereby created and the official in charge thereof shall be
known as the building official.
[Remainder Unchanged]
(Reason: Reminder to be sure ordinance reads the same as designated by the city and
amend Section 101.1. )
**Section [A] 104.2.1 Determination of substantially improved or substantially
damaged existing buildings and structures in flood hazard areas. (Jurisdictions may
consider the option to amend or delete depending on local enforcement and flood hazard
ordinances.)
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
**Section 104.10.1; Flood hazard areas. (Jurisdictions may consider the option to
amend or delete depending on local enforcement and flood hazard ordinances.)
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
15
ORD 2022-10
(Note: Sections 104.2.1, 104.10.1, 110.3.12.1, 1612, and 3114 are all inter-connected related to flood
hazard areas, and amendments or deletions should be considered as a whole.)
**Section 105.2 Work exempt from permit; under sub-title entitled “Building” delete items 1, 2, 10
and 11 and re-number as follows:
Building:
1. One-story detached accessory structures used as tool and storage sheds,
playhouses and similar uses, provided the floor area does not exceed 120 square
feet (11 m2).
2. Fences not over 7 feet (1829 mm) high.
3. 1. (Remainder Unchanged)
4. 2. (Remainder Unchanged)
5. 3. (Remainder Unchanged)
6. 4. (Remainder Unchanged)
7. 5. (Remainder Unchanged)
8. 6. ( Remainder Unchanged)
9. 7. (Remainder Unchanged)
10.Shade cloth structures constructed for nursery or agricultural purposes, not including
service systems.
11.8. (Remainder Unchanged)
12.9. (Remainder Unchanged)
13.10. (Remainder Unchanged)
(Reason: Items deleted are for one- and two-family dwellings regulated by the
International Residential Code. Accessory structures, fences and shade cloth structures
would require a permit for commercial properties to ensure compliance with local
ordinance, egress, accessibility, flame spread of fabric, wind/snow design load, etc.)
**Section 109; add Section 109.7 to read as follows:
109.7 Re-inspection Fee. A fee as established by city council resolution may be charged
when:
1. The inspection called for is not ready when the inspector arrives;
2. No building address or permit card is clearly posted;
3. City approved plans are not on the job site available to the inspector;
4. The building is locked or work otherwise not available for inspection when called;
5. The job site is red-tagged twice for the same item;
6. The original red tag has been removed from the job site.
16
ORD 2022-10
7. Failure to maintain erosion control, trash control or tree protection.
Any re-inspection fees assessed shall be paid before any more inspections are made on that job site.
(Reason: This fee is not a fine or penalty but is designed to compensate for time and trips when inspections
are called for when not ready.)
**Section 110.3.5; Lath, gypsum board and gypsum panel product inspection; Delete exception
Exception : Gypsum board and gypsum panel products that are not part of a fire resistance rated assembly
or a shear assembly.
(Reason: Lath or gypsum board inspections are not typically performed in this area.
Deleting the exception would then require all gypsum panels to be inspected; this issue
is resolved by leaving the exception intact.)
**Section 202; amend definition of Ambulatory Care Facility as follows:
AMBULATORY CARE FACILITY. Buildings or portions thereof used to provide medical,
surgical, psychiatric, nursing or similar care on a less than 24-hour basis to individuals
persons who are rendered incapable of self-preservation by the services provided or staff
has accepted responsibility for care recipients already incapable. This group may include
but not be limited to the following:
- Dialysis centers
- Sedation dentistry
- Surgery centers
- Colonic centers
- Psychiatric centers
(Reason: To clarify the range of uses included in the definition. [Explanatory note related
to Ambulatory Care Facilities: This group of uses includes medical or dental offices
where persons are put under for dental surgery or other services. Section 903.2.2 will
now require such uses to be sprinklered if on other than the floor of exit discharge or if
four or more persons are put under on the level of exit discharge. Recommend (1.)
jurisdictions document any pre-existing non-conforming conditions prior to issuing a new
C of O for a change of tenant and, (2.) On any medical or dental office specify on C of O
the maximum number of persons permitted to be put under general anesthesia. It is
recommended that before a Certificate of Occupancy is issued, a letter of intended use
from the business owner shall be included and a C of O documenting the maximum
number of care recipients incapable of self-preservation allowed.)
**Section 202; add definition of Assisting Living Facilities to read as follows.
ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES. A building or part thereof housing persons, on a 24-
hour basis, who because of age, mental disability or other reasons, live in a supervised
residential environment which provides personal care services. The occupants are
capable of responding to an emergency situation without physical assistance from staff.
(Reason: The code references Assisted Living facilities and definition was deleted.)
**Section 202; add amend definition of “Repair Garage” as follows:
17
ORD 2022-10
REPAIR GARAGE. A building, structure or portion thereof used for servicing or repairing
motor vehicles. This occupancy shall also include garages involved in minor repair,
modification and servicing of motor vehicles for items such as lube changes, inspections,
windshield repair or replacement, shocks, minor part replacement and other such minor
repairs.
(Reason: The code references aligns with fire code.)
**Section 202; amend definition of SPECIAL INSPECTOR to read as follows:
SPECIAL INSPECTOR. A qualified person employed or retained by an approved agency
who shall prove to the satisfaction of the registered design professional in responsible
charge and approved by the Building Official as having the competence necessary to
inspect a particular type of construction requiring special inspection.
(Reason: The registered design professional in responsible charge should be included.)
**Section 202; amend definition of HIGH-RISE BUILDING to read as follows:
**Section 202; amend definition to read as follows:
HIGH-RISE BUILDING. A building with an occupied floor located more than 75 55 feet (22 860 mm)
(16 764 mm) above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
(Reason: To define high-rise, as it influences sprinkler requirement thresholds based on
the fire fighting capabilities of a jurisdiction.)
**Section 303.1.3; add a sentence to read as follows:
303.1.3 Associated with Group E occupancies. A room or space used for assembly
purposes that is associated with a Group E occupancy is not considered a separate
occupancy, except when applying the assembly requirements of Chapters 10 and 11.
(Reason: To clarify that egress and accessibility requirements are applicable for assembly
areas, i.e. cafeteria, auditoriums, etc.)
**Section 304.1; add the following to the list of occupancies:
Fire stations
Police stations with detention facilities for 5 or less
(Reason: Consistent with regional practice dating back to the legacy codes.)
**Section 307.1.1; add the following sentence to Exception 4:
18
ORD 2022-10
4. Cleaning establishments… {Text unchanged} …with Section 707 or 1-hour horizontal
assemblies constructed in accordance with Section 711 or both. See also IFC Chapter
21, Dry Cleaning Plant provisions.
(Reason: To call attention to detailed requirements in the Fire Code.)
**Section 403.1, Exception 3; change to read as follows:
3. The open-air portion of a building [remainder unchanged]
(Reason: To clarify enclosed portions are not exempt.)
**Section 403.3, Automatic Sprinkler System. Delete exception;
(Reason: To provide adequate fire protection to enclosed areas.)
**Section 403.3.2; change to read as follows:
[F] 403.3.2 Water supply to required fire pumps. In buildings that are more than 420
120 feet (36.5 m) in building height, required fire pumps shall be supplied by connections
to no fewer than two water mains located in different streets. Separate supply piping shall
be provided between each connection to the water main and the pumps. Each connection
and the supply piping between the connection and the pumps shall be sized to supply the
flow and pressure required for the pumps to operate.
Exception: {No change to exception.}
(Reason: The 2009 edition of the IFC added this requirement based on a need for
redundancy of the water supply similar to the redundancy of the power supply to the fire
pumps required for such tall buildings, partially due to the fact that these buildings are
rarely fully evacuated in a fire event. More commonly, the alarm activates on the floor of
the event, the floor above and the floor below. Back-up power to the fire pump becomes
critical for this reason. Certainly, the power is pointless if the water supply is impaired for
any reason, so a similar requirement is provided here for redundant water supplies. The
2015 edition changed the requirement to only apply to very tall buildings over 420 ft. This
amendment modifies/lowers the requirement to 120 ft., based on this same height
requirement for fire service access elevators. Again, the language from the 2009 and
2012 editions of the code applied to any high-rise building. This compromise at 120 ft. is
based on the above technical justification of defend-in-place scenarios in fire incidents in
such tall structures.)
***Section 403.3.2; change to read as follows:
Section 404.10 Exit Stairways in an atrium. Where an atrium contains an interior exit access stairway all
the following shall be met:
[Remainder Unchanged]
(Reason: The five provisions within Section 404.10 are applicable to exit access stairways, not interior exit
stairways. As printed, this is an error, that if left uncorrected, would change among other core code
19
ORD 2022-10
provisions, how to measure travel distance to an enclosed exit stairway. There is use of the terms “exit
stairway in an atrium” vs. “interior exit stairway” vs. “exit access stairway” that will cause confusion as to
which provisions are applicable.)
**Section 406.3.3.1 Carport separation; add sentence to read as follows:
A fire separation is not required between a Group R-2 and U carport provided that the
carport is entirely open on all sides and that the distance between the two is at least 10
feet (3048 mm).
(Reason: Simplifies the fire separation distance and eliminates the need to obtain opening
information on existing buildings when adding carports in existing apartment complexes.
Consistent with legacy codes in effect in region for years and no record of problems with
car fires spreading to apartments as a result.)
***Section 423.5.1; change to read as follows:
423.5.1 Required occupant capacity. The required occupant capacity of the storm
shelter shall include all of the buildings on the site and shall be the greater of the
following:
1.The Total occupant load of the classrooms, vocational rooms and offices in the Group
E occupancy.
2.The occupant load of the largest indoor assembly space that is associated with the
Group E occupancy.
Exceptions:
1. Where a new building is being added on an existing Group E site, and where the new
building is not of sufficient size to accommodate the required occupant capacity of the
storm shelter for all of the buildings on the site, the storm shelter shall at a minimum
accommodate the required occupant capacity for the new building.
2. Where approved by the building official, the required occupant capacity of the shelter
shall be permitted to be reduced by the occupant capacity of any existing storm shelters
on the site.
3. Where approved by the building official, the actual number of occupants for whom
each occupied space, floor or building is designed, although less than those determined
by occupant load calculation, shall be permitted to be used in the determination of the
required design occupant capacity for the storm shelter.
Reason: The language in the new exception is parallel to the language in Chapter 10
that gives an AHJ similar authority for fire egress occupant load, clarifying that an AHJ
has the authority to reduce the required shelter occupant capacity based on rationale
provided by a School District.)
***Section 503.1.; add sentence to read as follows:
503.1. General. [Existing Text to remain]
20
ORD 2022-10
Where a building contains more than one distinct type of construction, the building shall
comply with the most restrictive area, height, and stories, for the lesser type of
construction or be separated by fire walls, except as allowed in Section 510.
(Reason: To create definite language that requires separation between dissimilar building
types.)
**Table 506.2; delete footnote i from table
i. The maximum allowable area for a single-story non sprinklered Group U greenhouse is
permitted to be 9000 square feet or the allowable area shall be permitted to comply with
Table C102.1 of Appendix C.
(Reason: To eliminate the need for Appendix C adoption and remain consistent with 6000
sq. ft. sprinklering provision.)
**Section 506.3.1; add sentence to read as follows:
506.3.1 Minimum percentage of perimeter. [Existing Text remains]
In order to be considered as accessible, if not in direct contact with a street or fire lane, a
minimum 10-foot-wide pathway meeting fire department access from the street or
approved fire lane shall be provided.
(Reason: To define what is considered accessible. Consistent with regional amendment
to IFC 503.1.1)
***Section 708.4.2; change sentence to read as follows:
708.4.2 Fireblocks and draftstops in combustible construction. [Body of text
unchanged]
Exceptions:
1. Buildings equipped with an automatic sprinkler system installed throughout in accordance with
Section 903.3.1.1, or in accordance with Section 903.3.1.2 provided that sprinkler protection is
provided in the space between the top of the fire partition and the underside of the floor or roof
sheathing, deck or slab above as required for systems complying with Section 903.3.1.1.
Portions of buildings containing concealed spaces filled with noncombustible insulation as
permitted for sprinkler omission shall not apply to this exception for draftstopping.
[Remainder unchanged]
Reason: The most common exception used to eliminate the need for sprinklers in
concealed spaces of combustible construction is to fill the space with noncombustible
insulation. This exception was changed in 2010 to permit a 2-inch air gap at the top of the
filled space. A space compliant with the permitted omission above would allow hot gas
and smoke to spread unimpeded throughout a building not provided with draftstopping.
For this reason, omission of sprinklers permitted in accordance with NFPA 13 referenced
21
ORD 2022-10
standard should not be permitted with IBC exception requiring draftstopping in
combustible construction.
**Section 718.3; change sentence to read as follows:
718.3 Draftstopping in floors. [Body of text unchanged]
Exceptions: Buildings equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in
accordance with Section 903.3.1.1. and provided that in combustible construction,
sprinkler protection is provided in the floor space.
(Reason: To remain consistent with changes in 708.4.2 IBC code.)
**Section 718.4; change sentence to read as follows:
718.4 Draftstopping in attics. [Body of text unchanged]
Exceptions: Buildings equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in
accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 and provided that in combustible construction,
sprinkler protection is provided in the attic space.
(Reason: To remain consistent with changes in 708.4.2 IBC code.)
**Section 901.6.1; add Section 901.6.1.1 to read as follows:
901.6.1.1 Standpipe Testing. Building owners/managers must maintain and test
standpipe systems as per NFPA 25 requirements. The following additional requirements
shall be applied to the testing that is required every 5 years:
1. The piping between the Fire Department Connection (FDC) and the standpipe shall
be backflushed or inspected by approved camera when foreign material is present
or when caps are missing, and also hydrostatically tested for all FDC’s on any type
of standpipe system. Hydrostatic testing shall also be conducted in accordance with
NFPA 25 requirements for the different types of standpipe systems.
2. For any manual (dry or wet) standpipe system not having an automatic water supply
capable of flowing water through the standpipe, the tester shall connect hose from
a fire hydrant or portable pumping system (as approved by the fire code official) to
each FDC, and flow water through the standpipe system to the roof outlet to verify
that each inlet connection functions properly. Confirm that there are no open hose
valves prior to introducing water into a dry standpipe. There is no required pressure
criteria at the outlet. Verify that check valves function properly and that there are no
closed control valves on the system.
3. Any pressure relief, reducing, or control valves shall be tested in accordance with
the requirements of NFPA 25. All hose valves shall be exercised.
22
ORD 2022-10
4. If the FDC is not already provided with approved caps, the contractor shall install
such caps for all FDC’s as required by the fire code official.
5. Upon successful completion of standpipe test, place a blue tag (as per Texas
Administrative Code, Fire Sprinkler Rules for Inspection, Test and Maintenance
Service (ITM) Tag) at the bottom of each standpipe riser in the building. The tag
shall be check-marked as “Fifth Year” for Type of ITM, and the note on the back of
the tag shall read “5 Year Standpipe Test” at a minimum.
6. The procedures required by Texas Administrative Code Fire Sprinkler Rules with
regard to Yellow Tags and Red Tags or any deficiencies noted during the testing,
including the required notification of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (fire
code official) shall be followed.
7. Additionally, records of the testing shall be maintained by the owner and
contractor, if applicable, as required by the State Rules mentioned above and
NFPA 25.
8. Standpipe system tests where water will be flowed external to the building shall not
be conducted during freezing conditions or during the day prior to expected
nighttime freezing conditions.
9. Contact the fire code official for requests to remove existing fire hose from Class II
and III standpipe systems where employees are not trained in the utilization of this
firefighting equipment. All standpipe hose valves must remain in place and be
provided with an approved cap and chain when approval is given to remove hose
by the fire code official.
(Reason: Increases the reliability of the fire protection system and re-emphasizes the
requirements of NFPA 25 relative to standpipe systems, as well as ensuring that FDC
connections are similarly tested/maintained to ensure operation in an emergency
incident.)
**Section 903.1.1; change to read as follows:
903.1.1 Alternative Protection. Alternative automatic fire-extinguishing systems complying with Section
904 shall be permitted instead of in addition to automatic sprinkler protection where recognized by the
applicable standard and, or as approved by the fire code official.
(Reason: Such alternative systems do not provide the reliability of automatic sprinkler
protection. Most gaseous type systems are highly susceptible to open doors, ceiling or
floor tile removal, etc. However, an applicant could pursue an Alternate Method request
to help mitigate the reliability issues with these alternative systems with the fire code
official if so desired, or there may be circumstances in which the fire code official is
acceptable to allowing an alternate system in lieu of sprinklers, such as kitchen hoods or
paint booths.)
23
ORD 2022-10
**Section 903.2; add paragraph to read as follows and delete the exception for
telecommunications buildings:
Automatic Sprinklers shall not be installed in elevator machine rooms, elevator machine
spaces, and elevator hoistways, other than pits where such sprinklers would not
necessitate shunt trip requirements under any circumstances. Storage shall not be
allowed within the elevator machine room. Signage shall be
provided at the entry doors to the elevator machine room indicating “ELEVATOR
MACHINERY – NO STORAGE ALLOWED.”
(Reason: Firefighter and public safety. This amendment eliminates the shunt trip
requirement of the International Building Code Section 3005.5 for the purpose of elevator
passenger and firefighter safety. This amendment is contingent on the Building Code
amendment eliminating the Exceptions to Section 3005.4, such that passive fire barriers
for these areas are maintained. The exception deletion is due to the fact that such
telecom areas pose an undue fire risk to the structural integrity of the building.)
***Section 903.2.4.2; change to read as follows:
903.2.4.2 Group F-1 distilled spirits. An automatic sprinkler system shall be provided
throughout a Group F-1 fire area used for the manufacture of distilled spirits involving
more than 120 gallons of distilled spirits (>16% alcohol) in the fire area at any one time.
(Reason: To establish a sprinkler criteria limit based on existing maximum allowable
quantities provided for flammable liquids in a non-sprinklered space from Chapter 50 and
allow very small distillery type operations without sprinkler requirements as has been
historically allowed.)
***Section 903.2.9.3; change to read as follows:
903.2.9.3 Group S-1 distilled spirits or wine. An automatic sprinkler system shall be provided throughout
a Group S-1 fire area used for the bulk storage of distilled spirits or wine involving more than 120 gallons
of distilled spirits or wine (>16% alcohol) in the fire area at any one time.
(Reason: To establish a sprinkler criteria limit based on existing maximum allowable quantities provided
for flammable liquids in a non-sprinklered space from Chapter 50 and allow very small storage operations
without sprinkler requirements as has been historically allowed.)
**Section 903.2.9.4 and 903.2.9.5; delete Exception to 903.2.9.4 and add Section
903.2.9.5 to read as follows:
903.2.9.5 Self-Service Storage Facility. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed
throughout all self-service storage facilities.
(Reason: Fire departments are unable to regularly inspect the interior of these commercial
occupancies and are unaware of the contents being stored. Previous allowance to
24
ORD 2022-10
separate units by fire barriers is difficult to enforce maintenance after opening.)
Section 903.2.11; change 903.2.11.3 and add 903.2.11.7, 903.2.11.8, and 903.2.11.9 as follows:
903.2.11.3 Buildings 55 35 feet or more in height. An automatic sprinkler system
shall be installed throughout buildings that have one or more stories with an occupant
load of 30 or more, other than penthouses in compliance with Section 1510 of the
International Building Code, located 55 35 feet (16 764 10 668 mm) or more above
the lowest level of fire department vehicle access, measured to the finished floor.
Exceptions:
2. Occupancies in Group F-2.
903.2.11.7 High-Piled Combustible Storage. For any building with a clear height
exceeding 12 feet (4572 mm), see Chapter 32 to determine if those provisions apply.
903.2.11.8 Spray Booths and Rooms. New and existing spray booths and spraying
rooms shall be protected by an approved automatic fire-extinguishing system.
903.2.11.9 Buildings Over 6,000 sq. ft. An automatic sprinkler system shall be
installed throughout all buildings with a building area 6,000 sq. ft. or greater and in all
existing buildings that are enlarged to be 6,000 sq. ft. or greater. For the purpose of
this provision, fire walls shall not define separate buildings.
Exception:Open parking garages in compliance with Section 406.5 of the International Building Code
where all of the following conditions apply:
a.The structure is freestanding.
b.The structure does not contain any mixed uses, accessory uses, storage rooms,
electrical rooms, elevators or spaces used or occupied for anything other than motor
vehicle parking.
c.The structure does not exceed 3 stories.
d.An approved fire apparatus access road is provided around the entire structure.
(Reason: Provides jurisdictions options as to their desired level of sprinkler protection
based on multiple factors including firefighting philosophies/capabilities.)
**Section 903.3.1.1.1; change to read as follows:
903.3.1.1.1 Exempt Locations. When approved by the fire code official, automatic
sprinklers shall not be required in the following rooms or areas where such ...{text
unchanged}… because it is damp, of fire-resistance-rated construction or contains
electrical equipment.
1. Any room where the application of water, or flame and water, constitutes a serious
life or fire hazard.
2. Any room or space where sprinklers are considered undesirable because of the
25
ORD 2022-10
nature of the contents, when approved by the fire code official.
3. Generator and transformer rooms, under the direct control of a public utility,
separated from the remainder of the building by walls and floor/ceiling or
roof/ceiling assemblies having a fire-resistance rating of not less than 2 hours.
4. In rooms or areas that are of noncombustible construction with wholly
noncombustible contents.
5. Fire service access Elevator machine rooms, and machinery spaces, and
hoistways, other than pits where such sprinklers would not necessitate shunt trip
requirements under any circumstances.
6. {Delete.}
(Reason: Gives clarification. Exception 4 deleted to provide protection where fire risks
are poorly addressed. Amendment 903.2 addresses Exception 5 above relative to the
elimination of sprinkler protection in these areas to avoid the shunt trip requirement.)
***Section 903.3.1.2; change to read as follows:
903.3.1.2 NFPA 13R sprinkler systems. Automatic sprinkler systems in Group R
occupancies shall
be permitted to be installed throughout in accordance with NFPA 13R where the Group
R occupancy
meets all of the following conditions:
1. Four stories or less above grade plane.
2. The floor level of the highest story is 30 35 feet (9144 10668 mm) or less above the
lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
3. The floor level of the lowest story is 30 35 feet (9144 10668 mm) or less below the
lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
{No change to remainder of section.}
(Reason: The change to the 2021 IFC over-reached to limit 13R systems to 30 ft. high at
topmost floor level, which basically results in limiting 13R systems to 3 story buildings in
reality. This change to 35 ft. would still allow 13R systems in 4 story apartment buildings,
as has been allowed historically and as intended by 13R’s scope.)
***Section 903.3.1.2.2; change to read as follows:
903.3.1.2.2 Corridors and balconies in the means of egress. Sprinkler protection shall
be provided in all corridors and for all balconies. in the means of egress where any of the
following conditions apply: {Delete the rest of this section.}
(Reason: Corridor protection is critical to the means of egress, and corridors are regularly
utilized for miscellaneous storage, fixtures, artwork, food kiosks and beverage
dispensers, and furnishings. Balcony protection is required due to issues with fire
exposure via soffit vents and the potential for significant combustible loading.)
**Section 903.3.1.2.3; delete section and replace as follows:
26
ORD 2022-10
Section 903.3.1.2.3 Attached Garages and Attics. Sprinkler protection is required in
attached garages, and in the following attic spaces:
1. Attics that are used or intended for living purposes or storage shall be protected
by an automatic sprinkler system.
2. Where fuel-fired equipment is installed in an unsprinklered attic, not fewer than
one quick-response intermediate temperature sprinkler shall be installed above
the equipment.
3. Attic spaces of buildings that are two or more stories in height above grade
plane or above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
4. Group R-4, Condition 2 occupancy attics not required by Item 1 or 3 to have
sprinklers shall comply with one of the following:
4.1. Provide automatic sprinkler system protection.
4.2. Provide a heat detection system throughout the attic that is arranged to
activate the building fire alarm system.
4.3. Construct the attic using noncombustible materials.
4.4. Construct the attic using fire-retardant-treated wood complying with
Section 2303.2 of the International Building Code.
4.5. Fill the attic with noncombustible insulation.
(Reason: Attic protection is required due to issues with fire exposure via soffit vents, as
well as firefighter safety. Several jurisdictions indicated experience with un-protected attic
fires resulting in displacement of all building occupants. NFPA 13 provides for applicable
attic sprinkler protection requirements, as well as exemptions to such, based on
noncombustible construction, etc. Attached garages already require sprinklers via NFPA
13R – this amendment just re-emphasizes the requirement.)
**Section 903.3.1.3; change to read as follows:
903.3.1.3 NFPA 13D Sprinkler Systems. Automatic sprinkler systems installed in one- and two-family
dwellings; Group R-3; Group R-4, Condition 1; and townhouses shall be permitted to be installed throughout
in accordance with NFPA 13D or in accordance with state law.
(Reason: To allow the use of the Plumbing section of the International Residential Code
(IRC) and recognize current state stipulations in this regard.)
**Section 903.3.1.4; add to read as follows:
[F] 903.3.1.4 Freeze protection. Freeze protection systems for automatic fire sprinkler
systems shall be in accordance with the requirements of the applicable referenced NFPA
standard and this section.
903.3.1.4.1 Attics. Only dry pipe, preaction, or listed antifreeze automatic fire
sprinkler systems shall be allowed to protect attic spaces.
Exception: Wet-pipe fire sprinkler systems shall be allowed to protect non-
ventilated attic spaces where:
27
ORD 2022-10
1. The attic sprinklers are supplied by a separate floor control valve
assembly to allow ease of draining the attic system without impairing
sprinklers throughout the rest of the building, and
2. Adequate heat shall be provided for freeze protection as per the
applicable referenced NFPA standard, and
3. The attic space is a part of the building’s thermal, or heat, envelope,
such that insulation is provided at the roof deck, rather than at the
ceiling level.
903.3.1.4.2 Heat trace/insulation. Heat trace/insulation shall only be allowed
where approved by the fire code official for small sections of large diameter water-
filled pipe.
(Reason: In the last few years, severe winters brought to light several issues with current
practices for sprinklering attics, not the least of which was wet-pipe sprinklers in ventilated
attics provided with space heaters, etc. for freeze protection of such piping. This practice
is not acceptable for the protection of water-filled piping in a ventilated attic space as it
does not provide a reliable means of maintaining the minimum 40 degrees required by
NFPA, wastes energy, and presents a potential ignition source to the attic space. Listed
antifreeze is specifically included because NFPA currently allows such even though there
is no currently listed antifreeze at the time of development of these amendments. The
intent of this amendment is to help reduce the large number of freeze breaks that have
occurred in the past with water-filled wet-pipe sprinkler systems in the future, most
specifically in attic spaces.)
**Section 903.3.5; add a second paragraph to read as follows:
Water supply as required for such systems shall be provided in conformance with the
supply requirements of the respective standards; however, every water-based fire
protection system shall be designed with a 10-psi safety factor. Reference Section 507.4
for additional design requirements.
(Reason: To define uniform safety factor for the region.)
**Section 903.4; add a second paragraph after the exceptions to read as follows:
Sprinkler and standpipe system water-flow detectors shall be provided for each floor tap
to the sprinkler system and shall cause an alarm upon detection of water flow for more
than 45 seconds. All control valves in the sprinkler and standpipe systems except for fire
department hose connection valves shall be electrically supervised to initiate a
supervisory signal at the central station upon tampering.
(Reason: To avoid significant water losses. Consistent with amendment to IFC 905.9.)
**Section 903.4.2; add second paragraph to read as follows:
28
ORD 2022-10
The alarm device required on the exterior of the building shall be a weatherproof
horn/strobe notification appliance with a minimum 75 candela strobe rating, installed as
close as practicable to the fire department connection.
(Reason: Fire department connections are not always located at the riser; this allows the
fire department faster access and ease of recognition of the FDC location, especially at
night.)
**Section 905.2; change to read as follows:
905.2 Installation Standard. Standpipe systems shall be installed in accordance with
this section and NFPA 14. Manual dry standpipe systems shall be supervised with a
minimum of 10 psig and a maximum of 40 psig air pressure with a high/low alarm.
(Reason: To define manual dry standpipe supervision requirements. Helps ensure the
integrity of the standpipe system via supervision, such that open hose valves will result in
a supervisory low air alarm.)
***Section 905.3; add Section 905.3.9 and exception to read as follows:
905.3.9 Buildings Exceeding 10,000 sq. ft. In buildings exceeding 10,000 square feet
in area per story and where any portion of the building’s interior area is more than 200
feet (60960 mm) of travel, vertically and horizontally, from the nearest point of fire
department vehicle access, Class I automatic wet or manual wet standpipes shall be
provided.
Exceptions:
1.Automatic dry, semi-automatic dry, and manual dry standpipes are allowed as
provided for in NFPA 14 where approved by the fire code official.
2.R-2 occupancies of four stories or less in height having no interior corridors.
(Reason: Allows for the rapid deployment of hose lines to the body of the fire in larger
structures.)
**Section 905.4; change Items 1, 3, and 5, and add Item 7 to read as follows:
1. In every required interior exit stairway, a hose connection shall be provided for each
story above and below grade plane. Hose connections shall be located at an
intermediate landing between stories, unless otherwise approved by the fire code
official.
Exception: {No change.}
2. {No change.}
3. In every exit passageway, at the entrance from the exit passageway to other areas
of a building.
Exception: Where floor areas adjacent to an exit passageway are
reachable from an interior exit stairway hose connection by a {remainder
of text unchanged}
29
ORD 2022-10
4. {No change.}
5. Where the roof has a slope less than 4 units vertical in 12 units horizontal (33.3-
percent slope), each standpipe shall be provided with a two-way a hose connection
shall be located to serve the roof or at the highest landing of an interior exit stairway
with stair access to the roof provided in accordance with Section 1011.12.
6. {No change.}
7.When required by this Chapter, standpipe connections shall be placed adjacent to
all required exits to the structure and at two hundred feet (200’) intervals along
major corridors thereafter, or as otherwise approved by the fire code official.
(Reason: Item 1, 3, and 5 amendments to remove ‘interior’ will help to clarify that such
connections are required for all ‘exit’ stairways, to ensure firefighter capabilities are not
diminished in these tall buildings, simply because the stair is on the exterior of the
building. Item 5 reduces the amount of pressure required to facilitate testing and provides
backup protection for fire fighter safety. Item 7 allows for the rapid deployment of hose
lines to the body of the fire.)
***Section 905.8; change to read as follows:
905.8 Dry standpipes. Dry standpipes shall not be installed.
Exception: Where subject to freezing and in accordance with NFPA 14.
Additionally, manual dry standpipe systems shall be supervised with a minimum of
10 psig and a maximum of 40 psig air pressure with a high/low Supervisory alarm.
(Reason: To define manual dry standpipe supervision requirements. Helps ensure the
integrity of the standpipe system via supervision, such that open hose valves will result in
a supervisory low air alarm. NFPA 14 requires supervisory air for such but does not
provide pressure criteria for what that means. This is a long-standing regional
requirement.)
**Section 905.9; add a second paragraph after the exceptions to read as follows:
Sprinkler and standpipe system water-flow detectors shall be provided for each floor tap
to the sprinkler system and shall cause an alarm upon detection of water flow for more
than 45 seconds. All control valves in the sprinkler and standpipe systems except for fire
department hose connection valves shall be electrically supervised to initiate a
supervisory signal at the central station upon tampering.
(Reason: To avoid significant water losses. Consistent with amendment to IFC 903.4.)
***Section 906.1(1); delete Exception #3 as follows:
3. In storage areas of Group S occupancies where forklift, powered industrial
truck or powered cart operators are the primary occupants,
fixed extinguishers, as specified in NFPA 10, shall not be required where in
accordance with all of the following:
30
ORD 2022-10
3.1. Use of vehicle-mounted extinguishers shall be approved by the fire
code official.
3.2. Each vehicle shall be equipped with a 10-pound, 40A:80B:C
extinguisher affixed to the vehicle using a mounting bracket approved
by the extinguisher manufacturer or the fire code official for vehicular use.
3.3. Not less than two spare extinguishers of equal or greater rating shall
be available on-site to replace a discharged extinguisher.
3.4. Vehicle operators shall be trained in the proper operation, use and
inspection of extinguishers.
3.5. Inspections of vehicle-mounted extinguishers shall be performed daily.
(Reason: This provision of only having vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers is not at all
consistent with historical practice of requiring extinguishers throughout based on travel
distance. Often times, the vehicle is what has caused the incident and/or may be the
source of the incident, so having the extinguisher vehicle-mounted results in greater
potential injury of the user. This assumes the only occupants in the building are on a
vehicle, which again, significantly reduces access to fire extinguishers throughout the
building to other occupants. Future use of the building/tenancy may change further
complicating the issue.)
**Section 907.1; add Section 907.1.4 to read as follows:
907.1.4 Design Standards. Where a new fire alarm system is installed, the devices shall
be addressable. Fire alarm systems utilizing more than 20 smoke detectors shall have
analog initiating devices.
(Reason: Provides for the ability of descriptive identification of alarms and reduces need
for panel replacement in the future. Updated wording to match the language of the new
requirement at 907.5.2.3. Change of terminology allows for reference back to definitions
of NFPA 72.)
**Section 907.2.1; change to read as follows:
907.2.1 Group A. A manual fire alarm system that activates the occupant notification
system in accordance with Section 907.5 shall be installed in Group A occupancies where
the having an occupant load due to the assembly occupancy is of 300 or more persons,
or where the Group A occupant load is more than 100 persons above or below the lowest
level of exit discharge. Group A occupancies not separated from one another in
accordance with Section 707.3.10 of the International Building Code shall be considered
as a single occupancy for the purposes of applying this section. Portions of Group E
occupancies occupied for assembly purposes shall be provided with a fire alarm system
as required for the Group E occupancy.
Exception: {No change.}
Activation of fire alarm notification appliances shall:
1. Cause illumination of the means of egress with light of not less than 1 foot-candle
31
ORD 2022-10
(11 lux) at the walking surface level, and
2. Stop any conflicting or confusing sounds and visual distractions.
(Reason: Increases the requirement to be consistent with Group B requirement. Also
addresses issue found in Group A occupancies of reduced lighting levels and other A/V
equipment that distracts from fire alarm notification devices or reduces ability of fire alarm
system to notify occupants of the emergency condition.)
**Section 907.2.3; change to read as follows:
907.2.3 Group E. A manual fire alarm system that initiates the occupant notification
signal utilizing an emergency voice/alarm communication system meeting the
requirements of Section 907.5.2.2 and installed in accordance with Section 907.6 shall
be installed in Group E educational occupancies. When automatic sprinkler systems or
smoke detectors are installed, such systems or detectors shall be connected to the
building fire alarm system. An approved smoke detection system shall be installed in
Group E day care occupancies. Unless separated by a minimum of 100' open space, all
buildings, whether portable buildings or the main building, will be considered one building
for alarm occupant load consideration and interconnection of alarm systems.
Exceptions:
1. {No change.}
1.1. Residential In-Home day care with not more than 12 children may
use interconnected single station detectors in all habitable rooms. (For care
of more than five children 2 1/2 or less years of age, see Section 907.2.6.)
{No change to remainder of exceptions.}
(Reason: To distinguish educational from day care occupancy minimum protection
requirements. Further, to define threshold at which portable buildings are considered a
separate building for the purposes of alarm systems. Exceptions provide consistency
with State law concerning such occupancies.)
***Section 907.2.10; change to read as follows:
907.2.10 Group S. A manual fire alarm system that activates the occupant notification
system in accordance with Section 907.5 shall be installed in Group S public- and self-
storage occupancies three stories or greater in height for interior corridors and interior
common areas. Visible notification appliances are not required within storage units.
Exception: {No change.}
(Reason: Because of the potential unknown fire load and hazards in self-storage type
facilities, which could include flammable liquids for instance, as well as other hazardous
materials, prompt evacuation in the event of fire alarm is needed; therefore, notification
in the corridors/common areas is critical to all such occupancies, regardless of height.
**Section 907.2.13, Exception 3; change to read as follows:
32
ORD 2022-10
3. Open air portions of buildings with an occupancy in Group A-5 in accordance with
Section 303.1 of the International Building Code; however, this exception does not
apply to accessory uses including but not limited to sky boxes, restaurants, and
similarly enclosed areas.
(Reason: To indicate that enclosed areas within open air seating type occupancies are
not exempted from automatic fire alarm system requirements.)
**Section 907.4.2; add Section 907.4.2.7 to read as follows:
907.4.2.7 Type. Manual alarm initiating devices shall be an approved double action type.
(Reason: Helps to reduce false alarms.)
**Section 907.6.1; add Section 907.6.1.1 to read as follows:
907.6.1.1 Wiring Installation. All fire alarm systems shall be installed in such a manner
that a failure of any single initiating device or single open in an initiating circuit conductor
will not interfere with the normal operation of other such devices. All signaling line circuits
(SLC) shall be installed in such a way that a single open will not interfere with the
operation of any addressable devices (Class A). Outgoing and return SLC conductors
shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 72 requirements for Class A circuits and shall
have a minimum of four feet separation horizontal and one foot vertical between supply
and return circuit conductors. The initiating device circuit (IDC) from a signaling line
circuit interface device may be wired Class B, provided the distance from the interface
device to the initiating device is ten feet or less.
(Reason: To provide uniformity in system specifications and guidance to design
engineers. Improves reliability of fire alarm devices and systems.)
**Section 907.6.3; delete all four Exceptions.
(Reason: To assist responding personnel in locating the emergency event for all fire alarm
systems.)
**Section 907.6.6; add sentence at end of paragraph to read as follows:
See 907.6.3 for the required information transmitted to the supervising station.
(Reason: To assist responding personnel in locating the emergency event for all fire alarm
systems. This was moved from 907.6.5.3 in the 2012 IFC and reworded to match new
code language and sections (legacy language).
(Reason: Deleted Previous code amendment Section 909.22, For removal because it is
already in the code in Sections 909.20.5, 909.20.6, 909.20.6.1, 909.20.6.2, and
33
ORD 2022-10
909.20.6.3.)
**Section 910.2; change read and change Exception 2 and 3 to read as follows:
910.2 Where required. Smoke and heat vents or a mechanical smoke removal system shall be installed
as required by Sections 910.2.1, 910.2.2, and 910.3.2.
2. Only manual smoke and heat removal shall not be required in areas of buildings
equipped with early suppression fast-response (ESFR) sprinklers. Automatic
smoke and heat removal is prohibited.
3. Only manual smoke and heat removal shall not be required in areas of buildings
equipped with control mode special application sprinklers with a response time
index of 50(m*S)1/2 or less that are listed to control a fire in stored commodities
with 12 or fewer sprinklers. Automatic smoke and heat removal is prohibited.
(Reason: Allows the fire department to control the smoke and heat during and after a fire
event, while still prohibiting such systems from being automatically activated, which is a
potential detriment to the particular sprinkler systems indicated.)
**Section 910.2.3; add to read as follows:
910.2.3 Group H. Buildings and portions thereof used as a Group H occupancy as
follows:
1. In occupancies classified as Group H-2 or H-3, any of which are more than 15,000
square feet (1394 m2) in single floor area.
Exception: Buildings of noncombustible construction containing only
noncombustible materials.
2. In areas of buildings in Group H used for storing Class 2, 3, and 4 liquid and solid
oxidizers, Class 1 and unclassified detonable organic peroxides, Class 3 and 4
unstable (reactive) materials, or Class 2 or 3 water-reactive materials as required
for a high-hazard commodity classification.
Exception: Buildings of noncombustible construction containing only
noncombustible materials.
(Reason: Maintains a fire protection device utilized in such occupancies where it is
sometimes necessary to allow chemicals to burn out, rather than extinguish. This is
based on legacy language establishing long-standing historical practice.)
**Section 910.4.3.1; change to read as follows:
34
ORD 2022-10
910.4.3.1 Makeup Air. Makeup air openings shall be provided within 6 feet (1829 mm)
of the floor level. Operation of makeup air openings shall be manual or automatic. The
minimum gross area of makeup air inlets shall be 8 square feet per 1,000 cubic feet per
minute (0.74 m2 per 0.4719 m3/s) of smoke exhaust.
(Reason: Makeup air has been required to be automatic for several years now in this
region when mechanical smoke exhaust systems are proposed. This allows such
systems to be activated from the smoke control panel by first responders without having
to physically go around the exterior of the building opening doors manually. Such
requires a significant number of first responders on scene to conduct this operation and
significantly delays activation and/or capability of the smoke exhaust system.)
**Section 912.2; add Section 912.2.3 to read as follows:
912.2.3 Hydrant Distance. An approved fire hydrant shall be located within 100 50 feet
of the fire department connection as the fire hose lays along an unobstructed path.
(Reason: To accommodate limited hose lengths, improve response times where the FDC
is needed to achieve fire control, and improve ease of locating a fire hydrant in those
situations also. Also, consistent with NFPA 14 criteria.)
***Section 913.2.1; add Section 913.2.1.1 and exception to read as follows:
913.2.1.1 Fire Pump Room Access. When located on the ground level at an exterior
wall, the fire pump room shall be provided with an exterior fire department access door
that is not less than 3 ft. in width and 6 ft. – 8 in. in height, regardless of any interior doors
that are provided. A key box shall be provided at this door, as required by IFC Section
506.1.
Exception: When it is necessary to locate the fire pump room on other levels or not
at an exterior wall, the corridor leading to the fire pump room access from the exterior
of the building shall be provided with equivalent fire resistance as that required for the
pump room, or as approved by the fire code official. Access keys shall be provided in
the key box as required by IFC Section 506.1.
(Reason: This requirement allows fire fighters safer access to the fire pump room. The
requirement allows access without being required to enter the building and locate the fire
pump room interior access door during a fire event. The exception recognizes that this
will not always be a feasible design scenario for some buildings, and as such, provides
an acceptable alternative to protect the pathway to the fire pump room.)
***Section 1006.2.1 change exception 3 to read as follows;
Section 1006.2.1 Egress based on occupant load and common path of egress travel
distance.
3. Unoccupied rooftop mechanical rooms and penthouses are not required to comply with
35
ORD 2022-10
the common path of egress travel distance measurement.
(Reason: Add “rooftop” to Exception No. 3 to clarify that only such mechanical rooms
located on the roof maybe exempted.)
**Section 1009.8 Two Way Communication; add the following Exception 7:
[Text Remains]
Exceptions:
7. Buildings regulated under State Law and built in accordance with State registered
plans, including variances or waivers granted by the State, shall be deemed to be in
compliance with the requirements of Section 1009 and Chapter 11.
(Reason: To accommodate buildings regulated under Texas State Law and to be
consistent with amendments in Chapter 11.)
**Section 1010.2.5 Bolt Locks; amend exceptions 3 and 4 as follows:
Exceptions:
3. Where a pair of doors serves an occupant load of less than 50 persons in a Group B,
F, M or S occupancy. (remainder unchanged)
4. Where a pair of doors serves a Group A, B, F, M or S occupancy (remainder
unchanged)
(Reason: It is common in our region to see the 2nd leaf locked, when that leaf is not part
of the required egress door clear width, such as in a typical Group M. Exception No. 4
was expanded to Group A due to it being a similar situation for Group A restaurants.)
**Section 1020.2 Construction; add new exception 6 as follows:
6. In unsprinklered group B occupancies, corridor walls and ceilings need not be of fire-
resistive construction within a single tenant space when the space is equipped with
approved automatic smoke-detection within the corridor. The actuation of any detector
must activate self-annunciating alarms audible in all areas within the corridor. Smoke
detectors must be connected to an approved automatic fire alarm system where such
system is provided.
(Reason: Similar concept was previously in UBC. This scenario occurs primarily in
existing, non-sprinklered buildings, which under current IBC would be required to have a
fire resistance rated corridor. New exception provides a cost-effective solution for single
tenant space in lieu of the base IBC requirement to retrofit a fire sprinkler system
throughout the building.)
**Section 1030.1.1.1 Spaces under grandstands and bleachers; delete this section.
36
ORD 2022-10
(Reason: Unenforceable.)
**Section 1101.1 Scope; add exception to Section 1101.1 as follows:
Exception: Components of projects regulated by and registered with Architectural
Barriers Division of Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shall be deemed to
be in compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(Reason: To accommodate buildings regulated under state law. Further clarified in 2018
to mean components that are specifically addressed by TDLR shall be exempt.)
***Section 1809.5.1 Frost Protection at required exits; delete this section
(Reason: frost protection at exit doors is not needed in our climate zone )
***Section 2702.5; added to read as follows:
Section 2702.5 Designated Critical Operations Areas (DCOA): In areas within a facility
or site requiring continuous operation for the purpose of public safety, emergency
management, national security or business continuity, the power systems shall comply
with NFPA 70 Article 708.
(Reason: Identifying these areas of critical operations in the building code ensures
designers are advised of the requirements outlined in the National Electrical Code which
defines specific Critical Operations Power System (COPS) requirements.)
**Section 2901.1; add a sentence to read as follows:
[P] 2901.1 Scope. {existing text to remain} The provisions of this Chapter are meant to
work in coordination with the provisions of Chapter 4 of the International Plumbing Code.
Should any conflicts arise between the two chapters, the Building Official shall determine
which provision applies.
(Reason: Gives building official discretion.)
**Section 2902.1; add a second paragraph to read as follows:
In other than E Occupancies, the minimum number of fixtures in Table 2902.1 may be
lowered, if requested in writing, by the applicant stating reasons for a reduced number
and approved by the Building Official.
(Reason: To allow flexibility for designer to consider specific occupancy needs.)
**Table 2902.1; add footnote g to read as follows:
g. Drinking fountains are not required in M Occupancies with an occupant load of 100 or
less, B Occupancies with an occupant load of 25 or less, and for dining and/or drinking
establishments.
37
ORD 2022-10
(Reason: To allow flexibility for designer to consider specific occupancy needs.)
**Add Section 2902.1.4 to read as follows:
2902.1.4 Additional fixtures for food preparation facilities. In addition to the fixtures
required in this Chapter, all food service facilities shall be provided with additional fixtures
set out in this section.
2902.1.4.1 Hand washing lavatory. At least one hand washing lavatory shall be provided
for use by employees that is accessible from food preparation, food dispensing and ware
washing areas. Additional hand washing lavatories may be required based on
convenience of use by employees.
2902.1.4.2 Service sink. In new or remodeled food service establishments, at least one
service sink or one floor sink shall be provided so that it is conveniently located for the
cleaning of mops or similar wet floor cleaning tool and for the disposal of mop water and
similar liquid waste. The location of the service sink(s) and/or mop sink(s) shall be
approved by the <Jurisdiction’s> health department.
(Reason: Coordinates Health law requirements with code language for consistent
regional practice.)
**Section 3002.1 Hoistway Enclosure Protection required. Add exceptions as
follows:
Exceptions:
1. Elevators completely located within atriums shall not require hoistway enclosure protection.
2. Elevators in open or enclosed parking garages that serve only the parking garage, shall not require
hoistway enclosure protection.
(Reason: Provides specific Code recognition that elevators within atriums and within
parking garages do not require hoistway enclosure protection. Amendment needed since
specific Code language does not currently exist.)
***Section 3005.4 Machine rooms, control rooms, machinery spaces and control
spaces; Delete exceptions and add two new exceptions to as follows:
Exceptions:
1. Elevator machine rooms, control rooms, machinery spaces and control spaces
completely located within atriums shall not require enclosure protection.
2. Elevator machine rooms, control rooms, machinery spaces and control spaces
in open or enclosed parking garages that serve only the parking garage, shall not
require enclosure protection.
(Reason: This amendment eliminates the Exceptions to Section 3005.4 such that
passive enclosures for these areas are to be provided and maintained. The fire rating of
38
ORD 2022-10
these enclosures is permitted to be omitted by the above added exceptions where
allowed by other provisions of the code such as in atriums and parking structures. See
companion change to eliminate fire sprinklers to eliminate the need for shunt trip
system.)
***Section 3005.5: Add a new subsection to Section 3005.5.1 as follows:
3005.5.1 Fire Protection in Machine rooms, control rooms, machinery spaces and
control spaces.
3005.5.1.1 Automatic sprinkler system. The building shall be equipped throughout
with an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1, except as
otherwise permitted by Section 903.3.1.1.1 and as prohibited by Section 3005.5.1.1.1.
3005.5.1.1.1 Prohibited locations. Automatic sprinklers shall not be installed in
machine rooms, elevator machinery spaces, control rooms, control spaces and elevator
hoistways.
3005.5.1.1.2 Sprinkler system monitoring. The sprinkler system shall have a sprinkler
control valve supervisory switch and water-flow initiating device provided for each floor
that is monitored by the building’s fire alarm system.
3005.5.1.2 Water protection. An approved method to prevent water from infiltrating into
the hoistway enclosure from the operation of the automatic sprinkler system outside the
elevator lobby shall be provided.
3005.5.1.3 Omission of Shunt trip. Means for elevator shutdown in accordance with
Section 3005.5 shall not be installed.
(Reason: Firefighter and public safety. This amendment eliminates the shunt trip
requirement of the International Building Code Section 3005.5 for the purpose of
elevator passenger and firefighter safety. The new section above is intended to be
identical to Sections 3007.2, 3007.3, and 3007.4 for Fire Service Access Elevators and
Sections 3008.2, 3008.3 and 3008.4 for Occupant Evacuation Elevators.)
**Section 3005.8; add Section 3005.8 as follows:
3005.8 Storage. Storage shall not be allowed within the elevator machine room, control
room, machinery spaces and or control spaces. Provide approved signage at each entry
to the above listed locations stating: "No Storage Allowed.
(Reason: Reinforces the need to maintain space clean and free of combustibles. See
companion change to eliminate fire sprinklers therein, Section 3005.5.1.)
Section 3006.2, Hoistway opening protection required; Revise text as follows:
39
ORD 2022-10
5. The building is a high rise and the elevator hoistway is more than 75 feet (22 860 mm)
55 feet (16 764 mm) in height. The height of the hoistway shall be measured from the
lowest floor at or above grade to the highest floors served by the hoistway.”
(Reason: 2018 IBC text does not address hoistways that are greater than 75’-0” in height
that are both below grade and above grade but not located above the high-rise
classification nor does the IBC address hoistways wholly located above grade such as
those that serve sky lobbies".)
**Section 3007.3 and Section 3008.3: Revise text by deleting “enclosed” as
follows:
3007.3 Water Protection. Water from the operation of an automatic sprinkler system
outside the enclosed lobby shall be prevent from infiltrating into the hoistway enclosure
in accordance with an approved method.
3008.3 Water Protection. Water from the operation of an automatic sprinkler system
outside the enclosed lobby shall be prevent from infiltrating into the hoistway enclosure
in accordance with an approved method.
(Reason: The lobbies for FSAE and or OEE elevators may be open (i.e., at ground
level), or may not require a lobby enclosure on those upper floors with secondary cab
entry doors opening into a nonrequired FSAE or OEE lobby. Regardless of whether or
not the lobby is enclosed, the objective is to preclude fire sprinkler water from entering
into the hoistway serving FSAE and OEE elevators. The deletion of “enclosed” clarifies
the original intent of this provision and is consistent with ICC interpretations.)

**Section R313.2 One and Two Family Dwellings; Delete this section and subsection in their entirety.
(Reason: In 2009, the State Legislature enacted SB 1410, amending section 1301.551
47
ORD 2022-11
subsection I of the occupation code, prohibiting cities from enacting fire sprinkler
mandates one or two family dwellings only. However, jurisdictions with ordinances that
required sprinklers for one or two family dwellings prior to and enforced before January
1, 2009, may remain in place.)
***Section R315.2.2 Alterations, repairs and additions; amend to read as follows:
Exception:
1. [existing text remains]
2. Installation, alteration or repairs of all electrically powered mechanical systems or
plumbing appliances.
(Reason: Revised exception for clarity. Code intent is to protect against the products of
combustion.)
**Section R322 Flood Resistant Construction; deleted section.
(Reason: Floodplain hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments
within the city.)
***Section 327.1.1; add to read as follows:
Section 327.1.1 Adjacency to Structural Foundation. Depth of the swimming pool and
spa shall maintain a ratio of 1:1 from the nearest building foundation or footing of a

ORD 2022-11
than eight 10d (0.148 inch diameter) having a minimum length of 1 ½ inches (38 mm) at
each side or equivalent. Fasteners will be offset to prevent splitting of the top plate
material. The metal tie must extend a minimum of 6 inches past the opening. See figure
R602.6.1. {remainder unchanged}
(Amendment to 2015 IRC carried forward to 2018 IRC.)
**Figure R602.6.1; delete the figure and insert the following figure:
(Amendment to 2015 IRC carried forward to 2018 IRC also provides additional assurance
of maintaining the integrity of the framing by spreading the nailing pattern.)
**Add section R703.8.4.1.2 Veneer Ties for Wall Studs; to read as follows:

2. When studs are 24 in (610 mm) o.c., stud ties shall be spaced no further apart than
16 in (483 mm) vertically starting approximately 8 in (254 mm) from the foundation.
(This amendment had been a carry over amendment for years to provide clear instruction
for placement of brick ties. It is now retained with changes to reflect its correct placement
and use for clarity when attachment to framing lumber (studs). It should remain for those
purposes. It is in addition to the new new Table in 2018 which provides for brick ties
directly to sheathing.)
49
ORD 2022-11
**Section R902.1; amend and add exception #5 to read as follows:
R902.1 Roofing covering materials. Roofs shall be covered with materials as set forth
in Sections R904 and R905. Class A, B, or C roofing shall be installed. in designated by

4. {text unchanged}
5. Non-classified roof coverings shall be permitted on one-story detached
accessory structures used as tool and storage sheds, playhouses, and similar
uses, provided the floor area does not exceed (area defined by jurisdiction).
(Reason: to address accessory structures Group U exempt from permits per Section
R105.2)
** Chapter 11 [RE] – Energy Efficiency is deleted in its entirety; Reference the 2021
IECC for energy code provisions and recommended amendments.
(Reason: The recommended energy code changes from the Energy and Green Advisory
Board update the amendments for Chapter 11. The 2021 International Energy
Conservation Code should be referenced for residential energy provisions. This approach
simply minimizes the number of amendments to the IRC.)
**Section M1305.1.2; change to read as follows:
M1305.1.2 Appliances in attics. Attics containing appliances shall be provided . . . {bulk
of paragraph unchanged} . . . side of the appliance. The clear access opening dimensions
shall be a minimum of 20 inches by 30 inches (508 mm by 762 mm), and large enough
to allow removal of the largest appliance. As a minimum, for access to the attic space,
provide one of the following:
1. A permanent stair.
2. A pull down stair with a minimum 300 lb (136 kg) capacity.
3. An access door from an upper floor level.
Exceptions: [remaining text unchanged]
(Reason: To provide a safe means of accessibility to appliances in attics and to allow for
different types of construction limitations. Consistent with regional amendment to IFGC
and IMC 306.3.)
**Section M1411.3; change to read as follows:
50
ORD 2022-11
M1411.3 Condensate disposal. Condensate from all cooling coils or evaporators shall be conveyed from
the drain pan outlet to an approved place of disposal a sanitary sewer through a trap, by means of a direct
or indirect drain. {remaining text unchanged}
(Reason: Reflects regional practice and to reduce excessive runoff into storm drains.)
**Section M1411.3.1, Items 3 and 4; add text to read as follows:
M1411.3.1 Auxiliary and secondary drain systems. {bulk of paragraph unchanged}
1.{text unchanged}
2.{text unchanged}
3. An auxiliary drain pan… {bulk of text unchanged}… with Item 1 of this section. A water level
detection device may be installed only with prior approval of the building official.
4. A water level detection device… {bulk of text unchanged}… overflow rim of such pan. A water level
detection device may be installed only with prior approval of the building official.
(Reason: Reflects standard practice in this area.)
**Section M1411.3.1.1; add text to read as follows:
M1411.3.1.1 Water-level monitoring devices. On down-flow units …{bulk of text unchanged}… installed
in the drain line. A water level detection device may be installed only with prior approval of the building
official.
(Reason: Reflects standard practice in this area.)
**M1503.6 Makeup Air Required; amend and add exception as follows:
M1503.6 Makeup air required. Where one or more gas, liquid or solid fuel-burning appliance that is neither
direct-vent nor uses a mechanical draft venting system is located within a dwelling unit’s air barrier, each
exhaust system capable of exhausting in excess of 400 cubic feet per minute (0.19 m3/s) shall be
mechanically or passively provided with makeup air at a rate approximately equal to the difference between
exhaust air rate and 400 cubic feet per minute. Such makeup air systems shall be equipped with not fewer
than one damper complying with Section M1503.6.2.
Exception: Makeup air is not required for exhaust systems installed for the exclusive purpose of space
cooling and intended to be operated only when windows or other air inlets are open. Where all appliances
in the house are of sealed combustion, power-vent, unvented, or electric, the exhaust hood system shall
be permitted to exhaust up to 600 cubic feet per minute (0.28 m3/s) without providing makeup air. Exhaust
hood systems capable of exhausting in excess of 600 cubic feet per minute (0.28 m3/s) shall be provided
with a makeup air at a rate approximately to the difference between the exhaust air rate and 600 cubic feet
per minute.
(Reason: Exception requires makeup air equaling the amount above and beyond 400 cfm for larger fan
which will address concerns related to “fresh” air from the outdoors in hot humid climates creating a burden
on HVAC equipment and negative efficiency impacts from back-drafting and wasted energy.)
**Section M2005.2; change to read as follows:
M2005.2 Prohibited locations. Fuel-fired water heaters shall not be installed in a room
used as a storage closet. Water heaters located in a bedroom or bathroom shall be
installed in a sealed enclosure so that combustion air will not be taken from the living
space. Access to such enclosure may be from the bedroom or bathroom when through
51
ORD 2022-11
a solid door, weather-stripped in accordance with the exterior door air leakage
requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code and equipped with an
approved self-closing device. Installation of direct-vent water heaters within an enclosure
is not required.
(Reason: Corresponds with the provisions of IFGC Section 303.3, exception #5.)
**Section G2408.3 (305.5)Private Garages; delete this section in its entirety.
(Reason: This provision does not reflect standard practice in this area.)
**Section G2415.2 (404.2 ) CSST; add a second paragraph to read as follows:
Both ends of each section of medium pressure gas piping shall identify its operating gas
pressure with an approved tag. The tags are to be composed of aluminum or stainless
steel and the following wording shall be stamped into the tag:
"WARNING: 1/2 to 5 psi gas pressure - Do Not Remove"
(Reason: To protect homeowners and plumbers.)
**Section G2415.12 (404.12) and G2415.12.1 (404.12.1); change to read as follows:
G2415.12 (404.12) Minimum burial depth. Underground piping systems shall be
installed a minimum depth of 12 inches (305 mm) 18 inches (457 mm) below grade,
except as provided for in Section G2415.12.1.
G2415.12.1 (404.12.1) Individual Outdoor Appliances; Delete in its entirety
(Reason: To provide increased protection to piping systems.)
**Section G2417.1 (406.1); change to read as follows:
G2417.1 (406.1) General. Prior to acceptance and initial operation, all piping installations shall be
inspected and pressure tested to determine that the materials, design, fabrication, and installation practices
comply with the requirements of this code. The permit holder shall make the applicable tests prescribed in
Sections 2417.1.1 through 2417.1.5 to determine compliance with the provisions of this code. The permit
holder shall give reasonable advance notice to the building official when the piping system is ready for
testing. The equipment, material, power and labor necessary for the inspections and test shall be furnished
by the permit holder and the permit holder shall be responsible for determining that the work will withstand
the test pressure prescribed in the following tests.
(Reason: To utilize language used in the IPC regarding who is responsible for testing
procedures.)
**Section G2417.4; change to read as follows:
G2417.4 (406.4) Test pressure measurement. Test pressure shall be measured with a monometer or
with a pressure-measuring device designed and calibrated to read, record, or indicate a pressure loss
caused by leakage during the pressure test period. The source of pressure shall be isolated before the
pressure tests are made. Mechanical gauges used to measure test pressures shall have a range such that
the highest end of the scale is not greater than five times the test pressure.
52
ORD 2022-11
(Reason: To require the use of more accurate diaphragm gauges. Spring gauges do not
provide accurate measurement below approximately 17 psig.)
**Section G2417.4.1; change to read as follows:
G2417.4.1 (406.4.1) Test pressure. The test pressure to be used shall be no less than 3 psig (20 kPa
gauge), or at the discretion of the Code Official, the piping and valves may be tested at a pressure of at
least six (6) inches (152 mm) of mercury, measured with a manometer or slope gauge, irrespective of
design pressure. Where the test pressure exceeds 125 psig (862 kPa gauge), the test pressure shall not
exceed a value that produces a hoop stress in the piping greater than 50 percent of the specified minimum
yield strength of the pipe. For tests requiring a pressure of 3 psig, diaphragm gauges shall utilize a dial
with a minimum diameter of three and one half inches (3 ½”), a set hand, 1/10 pound incrementation and
pressure range not to exceed 6 psi for tests requiring a pressure of 3 psig. For tests requiring a pressure
of 10 psig, diaphragm gauges shall utilize a dial with a minimum diameter of three and one-half inches (3
½”), a set hand, a minimum of 2/10 pound incrementation and a pressure range not to exceed 20 psi. For
welded piping, and for piping carrying gas at pressures in excess of fourteen (14) inches water column
pressure (3.48 kPa) (1/2 psi) and less than 200 inches of water column pressure (52.2 kPa) (7.5 psi), the
test pressure shall not be less than ten (10) pounds per square inch (69.6 kPa). For piping carrying gas at
a pressure that exceeds 200 inches of water column (52.2 kPa) (7.5 psi), the test pressure shall be not less
than one and one-half times the proposed maximum working pressure.
Diaphragm gauges used for testing must display a current calibration and be in good working condition.
The appropriate test must be applied to the diaphragm gauge used for testing.
(Reason: To provide for lesser pressures to coordinate with the use of more accurate
diaphragm gauges.)
**Section G2417.4.2; change to read as follows:
G2417.4.2 (406.4.2) Test duration. The test duration shall be held for a length of time satisfactory to the

meet 230.6 (1) or (2)
(REASON FOR CHANGE: To add clarity and provide more positive options for
enforcement and approval. All Fire Pump rooms are not Fire Rated as on all 4 sides.
There are Fault Currents that could exceed 150,000-190,000 amps and protection of
these Service Conductors is essential and conflict with other codes specifically
230.70(A)(1).)
***Article 71.15 A: Change the following to read as follows
710.15 General
710.15(A) Supply Output.
Power supply to premises wiring systems fed by stand-alone or isolated microgrid
power sources shall be permitted to have less capacity than the calculated load. The
capacity of the sum of all sources of the stand-alone supply shall be equal to or greater
than the load posed by the largest single utilization equipment connected to the system.
Calculated general lighting loads shall not be considered as a single load have
adequate capacity to meet the calculated load in accordance with Article 220.
Informational Note: For general-use loads the system capacity can be calculated using
the sum of the capacity of the firm sources, such as generators and ESS inverters. For
specialty loads intended to be powered directly from a variable source, the capacity can
be calculated using the sum of the variable sources, such as PV or wind inverters, or
the combined capacity of both firm and variable sources.
(REASON FOR CHANGE: To add clarity and provide more positive options for
enforcement and approval. Unless amended, standby systems would not be required to meet
any load demanded by their standby definitions.)

Texas HB 1365, 78th Legislature. Codified in Chapter 388 Texas Building Energy
Performance Standards: §388.003(i).
The last sentence to Section R102.1.2 (N1101.4.1) was added to ensure that every house
is tested in accordance with the mandatory provisions of the code.)
Section R202 (N1101.6) Definitions; add the following definition:
**PROJECTION FACTOR. The ratio of the horizontal depth of the overhang, eave or
permanently attached shading device, divided by the distance measured vertically from
the bottom of the fenestration glazing to the underside of the overhang, eave or
permanently attached shading device.
(Reason: The amendment to Section 402.3.2 (N1102.3.2) Glazed fenestration SHGC
was proposed by the TAB. ESL determined the proposal to be not less restrictive than
the 2015 IECC. This added definition is necessary as part of that amendment. The
amendment will provide additional options for SHGC selection.)
Section R202 (N1101.6) Definitions; add the following definition:
**DYNAMIC GLAZING. Any fenestration product that has the fully reversible ability to
change it performance properties, including U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC),
or visible transmittance (VT).
(Reason: This term is referenced in Section R402.3.2. This definition of DYMANIC
86
ORD 2022-15
GLAZING is also found in the Commercial provisions of the code.)

***Section C402.5.2 Dwelling and sleeping unit enclosure testing. Added the
underlined to read as follows
C402.5.2 Dwelling and sleeping unit enclosure testing. The building thermal envelope
shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E779. ANSI/RESNET/ICC 380, ASTM E1827
or an equivalent method approved by the code official. The measured air leakage shall
not exceed 0.30 cfm/ft2 (1.5 Us m2) of the testing unit enclosure area at a pressure
differential of 0.2 inch water gauge (50 Pa). Where multiple dwelling units or sleeping
units or other occupiable conditioned spaces are contained within one building thermal
envelope, each unit shall be considered an individual testing unit, and the building air
leakage shall be the weighted average of all testing unit results, weighted by each testing
unit's enclosure area. Units shall be tested separately with an unguarded blower door test
as follows:
1. Where buildings have fewer than eight testing units, each testing unit shall be
tested.
2. For buildings with eight or more testing units, the greater of seven units or 20
percent of the testing units in the building shall be tested, including a top floor unit, a
ground floor unit, a middle floor unit, and a unit with the largest testing unit enclosure
area. For each tested unit that exceeds the maximum air leakage rate, an additional two
three units shall be tested, including a mixture of testing unit types and locations.
(Reason: For many multifamily (R2 classifications) projects, it is very costly and time
87
ORD 2022-15
consuming to test each dwelling unit for projects where there may be dozens of dwelling
units in each building. Considering that the same tradesman generally constructs a
building, it is reasonable to deem that construction practices are consistent and that if a
reasonable sampling of units tested pass then all units would pass. These amendments
are in line with RESNET sampling guidelines.)
***Section R402.4.1 Building thermal envelope; add section R402.4.1.4 to read as
follows
R402.4.1.4 Sampling options for R2 multifamily dwelling units. For buildings with eight or
more testing units that must be tested as required by R402.1.2 or R402.1.3, the greater
of seven units or 20 percent of the testing units in the building shall be tested, including a
top floor unit, a ground floor unit, a middle floor unit, and a unit with the largest testing unit
enclosure area. For each tested unit that exceeds the maximum air leakage rate, an
additional three units shall be tested, including a mixture of testing unit types and
locations. Where buildings have fewer than eight testing units, each testing unit shall be
tested.
(Reason: For many multifamily (R2 classifications) projects, it is very costly and time

are in line with the commercial provisions of the commercial 2021 IECC and RESNET
sampling guidelines.)
***Section R403.3 Ducts; add section R403.3.8 to read as follows
R403.3.8 Sampling options for R2 multifamily dwelling units. For buildings with eight or
more testing units that must be tested as required by R403.3.5, the greater of seven units
or 20 percent of the testing units in the building shall be tested, including a top floor unit,
a ground floor unit, a middle floor unit, and a unit with the largest testing unit floor area.
For each tested unit that exceeds the maximum duct leakage rate, an additional three
units shall be tested, including a mixture of testing unit types and locations. Where
buildings have fewer than eight testing units, each testing unit shall be tested.
(Reason: For many multifamily (R2 classifications) projects, it is very costly and time

***Section R403.6 Mechanical Ventilation; add section R403.6.4 to read as follows
R403.6.4 Sampling options for R2 multifamily dwelling units. For buildings with eight or more testing units
that must be tested as required by R403.6.3, the greater of seven units or 20 percent of the testing units
in the building shall be tested, including a top floor unit, a ground floor unit, a middle floor unit, and a unit
with the largest testing unit floor area. For each tested unit that does not meet the minimum ventilation
88
ORD 2022-15
rate, an additional three units shall be tested, including a mixture of testing unit types and locations.
Where buildings have fewer than eight testing units, each testing unit shall be tested.

are in line with the commercial provisions of the commercial 2021 IECC IECC and
RESNET sampling guidelines.)
***R405.2 Performance-based compliance. Added to underlined to read as follows.
R405.2 Performance-based compliance. Compliance based on total building
performance requires that a proposed design meets all of the following:
1.The requirements of the sections indicated within Table R405.2.
2.The building thermal envelope greater than or equal to levels of efficiency and
solar heat gain coefficients in Table R402.1.1 or R402.1.3 of the 2009
International Energy Conservation Code.
3.An annual energy cost that is less than or equal to the annual energy cost of
the 2021 standard reference design or 8% less than the annual energy cost of
the 2018 standard reference design. Energy prices shall be taken from a source
approved by the code official, such as the Department of Energy, Energy
Information Administration's State Energy Data System Prices and
Expenditures reports. Code officials shall be permitted to require time-of-use
pricing in energy cost calculations.
Exception: The energy use based on source energy expressed in Btu or Btu
per square foot of conditioned floor area shall be permitted to be substituted
for the energy cost. The source energy multiplier for electricity shall be 3.16.
The source energy multiplier for fuels other than electricity shall be 1.1.
(Reason: At the time of the approval of these recommended amendments, software to
calculate and show compliance with section R405 of the 2021 IECC was not available.
The underlined amendment allows an alternative option to show compliance until
software is available.)
***Section R401.2.5 Additional Energy efficiency; deleted in its entirety.
(Reason: The deletion is based on the Complexity of the section and lack of tools to verify
compliance and due to conflict with HB2439, 86th Regular Session)
***Section R408 ADDITIONAL EFFICIENCY PACKAGE OPTIONS; deleted in its
entirety.
(Reason: The deletion is based on the omission of R401.2.5 and R408 no longer applies
and due to conflict with HB2439, 86th Regular Session.)

ORD 2022-15
*** Section R402.4.6 Electrical and Communication outlet boxes. Delete after the
first sentence to read as follows.
***R402.4.6 Electrical and communication outlet boxes (air-sealed boxes). Electrical
and communication outlet boxes installed in the building thermal envelope shall be
sealed to limit air leakage between conditioned and unconditioned spaces. Electrical
and communication outlet boxes shall be tested in accordance with NEMA OS 4 ,

shall have an air leakage rate of not greater than 2.0 cubic feet per minute
(0.944 L/s) at a pressure differential of 1.57 psf (75 Pa). Electrical and communication
outlet boxes shall be marked “NEMA OS 4” or “OS 4” in accordance with NEMA OS 4.
Electrical and communication outlet boxes shall be installed per the manufacturer’s
instructions and with any supplied components required to achieve compliance with
NEMA OS 4.
(Reason: Allow for alternatives and Avoid requiring proprietaries products.)
***Section R404.2 Interior Lighting Controls; deleted in its entirety.
(Reason: The deletion is to eliminate confusion as the intent does not reflect what is
written.)

Exhibit “A”
Amendments to the
2021 International Fuel Gas Code
**Section 101.2
{Local amendments to Section 101.2 may be necessary to correspond with the State Plumbing
Licensing Law.}
**Section 102.2; add an exception to read as follows:
Exception: Existing dwelling units shall comply with Section 621.2.
(Reason: Previous code provisions made unvented heater provisions retroactive except as provided for in
local amendment. This amendment and amendment to IFGC 621.2 better clarify what the code already
states: existing systems may stay unless considered unsafe.)
***Section 102.8; change to read as follows:
102.8 Referenced codes and standards. The codes and standards referenced in this code shall be those
that are listed in Chapter 8 and such codes, when specifically adopted, and standards shall be considered
part of the requirements of this code to the prescribed extent of each such reference. Where differences
occur between provisions of this code and the referenced standards, the provisions of this code shall apply.
Whenever amendments have been adopted to the referenced codes and standards, each reference to said
code and standard shall be considered to reference the amendments as well. Any reference to NFPA 70
or the National Electrical Code shall mean the Electrical Code as adopted.
(Reason: Legal wording to recognize locally adopted codes and amendments adopted with referenced
codes.)
**Section 306.5; change to read as follows:
[M] 306.5 Equipment and Appliances on Roofs or Elevated Structures. Where equipment requiring
access or appliances are located on an elevated structure or the roof of a building such that personnel will
have to climb higher than 16 feet (4877 mm) above grade to access, an interior or exterior means of access
shall be provided. Exterior ladders providing roof access need not extend closer than 12 feet (2438 mm) to
the finish grade or floor level below and shall extend to the equipment and appliances' level service space.
Such access shall . . . {bulk of section to read the same} . . . on roofs having a slope greater than four units
vertical in 12 units horizontal (33-percent slope). ... {remainder of text unchanged}.
(Reason: To assure safe access to roof appliances. Consistent with IMC amendments.)
**Section 306.5.1; change to read as follows:
[M] 306.5.1 Sloped roofs. Where appliances, equipment, fans or other components that require service
are installed on a roof having a slope of 3 units vertical in 12 units horizontal (25-percent slope) or greater
and having an edge more than 30 inches (762 mm) above grade at such edge, a catwalk at least 16 inches
in width with substantial cleats spaced not more than 16 inches apart shall be provided from the roof access
to a level platform at the appliance. The level platform shall be provided on each side of the appliance to
which access is required for service, repair or maintenance. The platform shall be not less than 30 inches
(762 mm) in any dimension and shall be provided with guards. The guards shall extend not less than 42
100
ORD 2022-17
inches (1067 mm) above the platform, shall be constructed so as to prevent the passage of a 21-inch-
diameter (533 mm) sphere and shall comply with the loading requirements for guards specified in the
International Building Code.
(Reason: To assure safe access to roof appliances. Consistent with IMC amendments.)
**Section 401.5; add a second paragraph to read as follows:
Both ends of each section of medium pressure gas piping shall identify its operating gas pressure with an
approved tag. The tags are to be composed of aluminum or stainless steel and the following wording shall
be stamped into the tag:
"WARNING
1/2 to 5 psi gas pressure
Do Not Remove"
(Reason: To protect homeowners and plumbers.)
**Section 404.12; change to read as follows:
404.12 Minimum burial depth. Underground piping systems shall be installed a minimum depth of 12 18
inches (305 458 mm) top of pipe below grade, except as provided for in Section 404.12.1.
404.12.1 Delete in its entirety.
(Reason: To provide increased protection to piping systems and address reference number change.)
***Section 406.4; change to read as follows:
406.4 Test pressure measurement. Test pressure shall be measured with a monometer or with a
pressure-measuring device designed and calibrated to read, record, or indicate a pressure loss caused by
leakage during the pressure test period. The source of pressure shall be isolated before the pressure tests
are made. Mechanical gauges used to measure test pressures shall have a range such that the highest
end of the scale is not greater than five times the test pressure. Spring type gauges do not meet the
requirement of a calibrated gauge.
(Reason: To require the use of more accurate diaphragm gauges. Spring gauges do not provide accurate
measurement below approximately 17 psig.)
***Section 406.4.1; change to read as follows:
406.4.1 Test pressure. The test pressure to be used shall be no less than 1 1/2 times the proposed
maximum working pressure, but no less than 3 3 psig (20 kPa gauge), or at the discretion of the Code
Official, the piping and valves may be tested at a pressure of at least six (6) inches (152 mm) of mercury,
measured with a manometer or slope gauge, irrespective of design pressure. Where the test pressure
exceeds 125 psig (862 kPa gauge), the test pressure shall not exceed a value that produces a hoop stress
in the piping greater than 50 percent of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe. For tests requiring
a pressure of 3 psig, diaphragm gauges shall utilize a dial with a minimum diameter of three and one half
inches (3 ½”), a set hand, 1/10 pound incrementation and pressure range not to exceed 15 psi for tests
requiring a pressure of 3 psig. For tests requiring a pressure of 10 psig, diaphragm gauges shall utilize a
dial with a minimum diameter of three and one-half inches (3 ½”), a set hand, a minimum of 2/10 pound
incrementation and a pressure range not to exceed 50 psi. For welded piping, and for piping carrying gas
at pressures in excess of fourteen (14) inches water column pressure (3.48 kPa) (1/2 psi) and less than
200 inches of water column pressure (52.2 kPa) (7.5 psi), the test pressure shall not be less than ten (10)
pounds per square inch (69.6 kPa). For piping carrying gas at a pressure that exceeds 200 inches of water
column (52.2 kPa) (7.5 psi), the test pressure shall be not less than one and one-half times the proposed
maximum working pressure.

ORD 2022-17
Diaphragm gauges used for testing must display a current calibration and be in good working condition.
The appropriate test must be applied to the diaphragm gauge used for testing.
(Reason: To provide for lesser pressures to coordinate with the use of more accurate diaphragm gauges.)
**Section 409.1; add Section 409.1.4 to read as follows:
409.1.4 Valves in CSST installations. Shutoff valves installed with corrugated stainless steel (CSST)
piping systems shall be supported with an approved termination fitting, or equivalent support, suitable for
the size of the valves, of adequate strength and quality, and located at intervals so as to prevent or damp
out excessive vibration but in no case greater than 12-inches from the center of the valve. Supports shall
be installed so as not to interfere with the free expansion and contraction of the system's piping, fittings,
and valves between anchors. All valves and supports shall be designed and installed so they will not be
disengaged by movement of the supporting piping.
(Reason: To provide proper security to CSST valves. These standards were established in this region in
1999 when CSST was an emerging technology.)
**Section 410.1; add a second paragraph and exception to read as follows:
Access to regulators shall comply with the requirements for access to appliances as specified in Section
306.
Exception: A passageway or level service space is not required when the regulator is capable of being
serviced and removed through the required attic opening.
(Reason: To require adequate access to regulators.)
**Section 621.2; add exception as follows:
621.2 Prohibited use. One or more unvented room heaters shall not be used as the sole source of comfort
heating in a dwelling unit.
Exception: Existing approved unvented heaters may continue to be used in dwelling units, in
accordance with the code provisions in effect when installed, when approved by the Code Official
unless an unsafe condition is determined to exist as described in Section 108.7.
(Reason: Gives code official discretion.)

Exhibit “A”
Amendments to the
2021 International Fire Code
**Section 102.1; change #3 to read as follows:
3. Existing structures, facilities, and conditions when required in Chapter 11 or in specific sections of
this code.
(Reason: To clarify that there are other provisions in the fire code applicable to existing buildings that are
not located in Chapter 11, including but not limited to Section 505 Premises Identification.)
**Section 105.3.3; change to read as follows:
105.3.3 Occupancy Prohibited before Approval. The building or structure shall not be occupied prior to the
fire code official issuing a permit when required and conducting associated inspections indicating the
applicable provisions of this code have been met.
(Reason: For clarity to allow for better understanding in areas not requiring such permits, such as
unincorporated areas of counties. This amendment may be struck by a city.)
**Section 105.6.25; add to read as follows:
105.6.25 Electronic access control systems. Construction permits are required to install or modify an
electronic access control system, as specified in Chapter 10. A separate construction permit is required for
to install or modify a fire alarm system that may be connected to the access control system. Maintenance
performed in accordance with this code is not considered to be a modification and does not require a permit.
(Reason: Adds construction permit requirements for electronic access control systems affecting access
and/or egress to ensure proper design and installation of such systems. These changes reflect local
practices of municipalities in this region.)
***Section 107.3; delete this section in its entirety:
107.3 Permit valuations. The applicant for a permit shall provide an estimated permit value at the time of
107
ORD 2022-18
application. Permit valuations shall include the total value of work, including materials and labor, for which
the permit is being issued, such as electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing equipment and permanent
systems. If, in the opinion of the fire code official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the
permit shall be denied unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the fire
code official. Final permit valuation shall be set by the fire code official.
(Different jurisdictions establish permit fee requirements in different ways, and the majority in this region do
not utilize this methodology for establishing Fire Code-required permit fees, as well as have already
established and adopted applicable permit fee requirements.)
**Section 202; amend and add definitions to read as follows:
** [B] AMBULATORY CARE FACILITY. Buildings or portions thereof used to provide medical, surgical,
psychiatric, nursing, or similar care on a less than 24-hour basis to persons who are rendered incapable of
self-preservation by the services provided or staff has accepted responsibility for care recipients already
incapable. This group may include but not be limited to the following:
- Dialysis centers
- Procedures involving sedation
-Sedation dentistry
- Surgery centers
- Colonic centers
- Psychiatric centers
(Reason: to clarify the range of uses included in the definition)
** [B] ATRIUM. An opening connecting two three or more stories… {remaining text unchanged}
(Reason: Accepted practice in the region based on legacy codes. IBC Section 1009 permits unenclosed
two story stairways under certain circumstances.)
** [B] DEFEND IN PLACE. A method of emergency response that engages building components and
trained staff to provide occupant safety during an emergency. Emergency response involves remaining in
place, relocating within the building, or both, without evacuating the building.
(Reason: Added from International Building Code (IBC) definitions for consistency in interpretation of the
subject requirements pertaining to such occupancies.)
**FIRE WATCH. A temporary measure intended to ensure continuous and systematic surveillance of a
building or portion thereof by one or more qualified individuals or standby personnel when required by the
fire code official, for the purposes of identifying and controlling fire hazards, detecting early signs of
unwanted fire, raising an alarm of fire and notifying the fire department.
(Reason: Clearly defines options to the fire department for providing a fire watch.)
**FIREWORKS. Any composition or device for the purpose of producing a visible or an audible effect for
entertainment purposes by combustion, deflagration, or detonation, and/or activated by ignition with a
match or other heat producing device that meets the definition of 1.3G fireworks or 1.4G fireworks. …
{Remainder of text unchanged}…
(Reason: Increased safety from fireworks related injuries.)
HIGH-PILED COMBUSTIBLE STORAGE: add a second paragraph to read as follows:
Any building classified as a group S Occupancy or Speculative Building exceeding 6,000 sq. ft. that
108
ORD 2022-18
has a clear height in excess of 14 feet, making it possible to be used for storage in excess of 12 feet,
shall be considered to be high-piled storage. When a specific product cannot be identified (speculative
warehouse), a fire protection system and life safety features shall be installed as for Class IV
commodities, to the maximum pile height.
(Reason: To provide protection for worst-case scenario in flexible or unknown situations.)
HIGH-RISE BUILDING. A building with an occupied floor located more than 75 55 feet (22 860 16 764
mm) above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
(Reason: Allows for additional construction safety features to be provided, based on firefighting response
capabilities.)
**REPAIR GARAGE. A building, structure or portion thereof used for servicing or repairing motor vehicles.
This occupancy shall also include garages involved in minor repair, modification and servicing of motor
vehicles for items such as lube changes, inspections, windshield repair or replacement, shocks, minor part
replacement, and other such minor repairs.
(Reason: To further clarify types of service work allowed in a repair garage, as well as to correspond with
definition in the IBC.)
**SELF-SERVICE STORAGE FACILITY. Real property designed and used for the purpose of renting or
leasing individual storage spaces to customers for the purpose of storing and removing personal property
on a self-service basis.
(Reason: To provide a definition that does not exist in the code.)
**STANDBY PERSONNEL. Qualified fire service personnel, approved by the Fire Chief. When utilized,
the number required shall be as directed by the Fire Chief. Charges for utilization shall be as normally
calculated by the jurisdiction.
(Reason: To provide a definition that does not exist in the code for fire watch accommodations as required
by the jurisdiction.)
**UPGRADED OR REPLACED FIRE ALARM SYSTEM. A fire alarm system that is upgraded or replaced
includes, but is not limited to the following:
Replacing one single board or fire alarm control unit component with a newer model
Installing a new fire alarm control unit in addition to or in place of an existing one
Conversion from a horn system to an emergency voice/alarm communication system
Conversion from a conventional system to one that utilizes addressable or analog devices
The following are not considered an upgrade or replacement:
Firmware updates
Software updates
Replacing boards of the same model with chips utilizing the same or newer firmware
(Reason: This is referenced in several places, but the wording of “upgraded or replaced” is somewhat
ambiguous and open to interpretation. Defining it here allows for consistent application across the region.)
**Section 307.1.1; change to read as follows:
**Section 307.1.1; change to read as follows:
307.1.1 Prohibited Open Burning. Open burning shall be prohibited that is offensive or objectionable
because of smoke emissions or when atmospheric conditions or local circumstances make such fires
hazardous shall be prohibited.
109
ORD 2022-18
Exception: {No change.}
(Reason: To further protect adjacent property owners/occupants from open burning and/or smoke
emissions from open burning.)
**Section 307.2; change to read as follows:
307.2 Permit Required. A permit shall be obtained from the fire code official in accordance with Section
105.6 prior to kindling a fire for recognized silvicultural or range or wildlife management practices,
prevention or control of disease or pests, or open burning a bonfire. Application for such approval shall only
be presented by and permits issued to the owner of the land upon which the fire is to be kindled.
Examples of state or local law, or regulations referenced elsewhere in this section may include but not be
limited to the following:
1. Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) guidelines and/or restrictions.
2. State, County, or Local temporary or permanent bans on open burning.
3. Local written policies as established by the fire code official.
(Reason: Amendments to 307.2, 307.4, 307.4.3, and 307.5 better explain current requirements and
recognize that jurisdictions have local established policies that best fit their environments.)
**Section 307.3; change to read as follows:
307.3 Extinguishment Authority. When open burning creates or adds to a hazardous situation, or a
required permit for open burning has not been obtained, the fire code official is authorized to order the
extinguishment of the open burning operation. The fire code official is authorized to order the
extinguishment by the permit holder, another person responsible or the fire department of open burning
that creates or adds to a hazardous or objectionable situation.
(Reason: Provides direction as to responsible parties relative to extinguishment of the subject open
burning.)
***Section 307.4 and 307.4.1; change to read as follows:
307.4 Location. The location for open burning shall not be less than 50 300 feet (15 240 91 440 mm) from
any structure, and provisions shall be made to prevent the fire from spreading to within 50 300 feet (15 240
91 440 mm) of any structure.
Exceptions: {No change.}
307.4.1 Bonfires. A bonfire shall not be conducted within 50 feet (15 240 mm), or greater distance
as determined by the fire code official, of a structure or combustible material, unless the fire is
contained in a barbecue pit. Conditions that could cause a fire to spread within the required setback
50 feet (15 240 mm) of a structure shall be eliminated prior to ignition.
(Reason: To increase the separation distance thereby increasing the safety to adjacent properties, as per
applicable TCEQ rules and regulations regarding outdoor burning. Bonfires were added to this requirement
to allow the AHJ the ability to match the increased setback utilized for open burning as necessary. Size of
bonfire will help to determine needed setback, fire equipment and apparatus as per permit requirements.)
**Section 307.4.3, Exceptions; add Exception #2 to read as follows:
Exceptions:
1. Portable outdoor fireplaces used at one- and two-family dwellings.
2. Where buildings, balconies and decks are protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system.
110
ORD 2022-18
(Reason: To reflect similar allowances for open-flame cooking in these same locations.)
**Section 307.4.4 and 5; add section 307.4.4 **Section 307.4.4 and 307.4.5; change to read as follows:
307.4.4 Permanent Outdoor Firepit. Permanently installed outdoor firepits for recreational fire purposes
shall not be installed within 10 feet of a structure or combustible material.
Exception: Permanently installed outdoor fireplaces constructed in accordance with the
International Residential Code or International Building Code.
307.4.5 Trench Burns. Trench burns shall be conducted in air curtain trenches and in accordance with
Section 307.2.
(Reason: To provide a greater level of safety for this potentially hazardous fire exposure condition.
Decrease in separation distance allowed for outdoor firepits due to permanent nature of construction having
substantial securement.)
**Section 307.5; change to read as follows:
307.5 Attendance. Open burning, trench burns, bonfires, recreational fires, and use of portable outdoor
fireplaces shall be constantly attended until the… {Remainder of section unchanged}
(Reason: Adds attendance for trench burns based on previous amendment provision for such.)
**Section 308.1.4; change to read as follows:
308.1.4 Open-flame Cooking Devices. Charcoal burners and other oOpen-flame cooking devices,
charcoal grills and other similar devices used for cooking shall not be operated located or used on
combustible balconies, decks, or within 10 feet (3048 mm) of combustible construction.
Exceptions:
1. One- and two-family dwellings where LP-gas containers are limited to a water capacity not greater
than 50 pounds (22.68 kg) [nominal 20 pound (9.08 kg) LP-gas capacity] with an aggregate LP-
gas capacity not to exceed 100 pounds (5 containers). All LP-gas containers shall be stored
outside, as per Chapter 61.
2. Where buildings, balconies and decks are protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system,
and LP-gas containers are limited to a water capacity not greater than 50 pounds (22.68 kg)
[nominal 20 pound (9.08 kg) LP-gas capacity], with an aggregate LP-gas capacity not to exceed
40 lbs. (2 containers). All LP-gas containers shall be stored outside, as per Chapter 61.
3. LP-gas cooking devices having LP-gas container with a water capacity not greater than 2-1/2
pounds [nominal 1 pound (0.454 kg) LP-gas capacity].
(Reason: Decrease fire risk in multi-family dwellings and minimizes ignition sources and clarify allowable
limits for 1 & 2 family dwellings, and allow an expansion for sprinklered multi-family uses. This amendment
adds clarification and defines the container size allowed for residences.)
**Section 308.1.6.2, Exception #3; change to read as follows:
3. Torches or flame-producing devices in accordance with Section 308.4 308.1.3.
(Reason: Section identified in published code is inappropriate.)
**Section 308.1.6.3; change to read as follows:
308.1.6.3 Sky Lanterns. A person shall not release or cause to be released an untethered unmanned free-
floating device containing an open flame or other heat source, such as but not limited to a sky lantern.
111
ORD 2022-18

accidental release of such devices.)
**Section 311.5; change to read as follows:
311.5 Placards. Any The fire code official is authorized to require marking of any vacant or abandoned
buildings or structures determined to be unsafe pursuant to Section 114 of this code relating to structural
or interior hazards, shall be marked as required by Section 311.5.1 through 311.5.5.
(Reason: There may be situations where placarding is not desired or necessary; also clarifies intent that it
is not the fire code official’s responsibility to provide the placard.)
**Section 403.4; change to read as follows:
403.4 Group E Occupancies. An approved fire safety and evacuation plan in accordance with Section 404
shall be prepared and maintained for Group E occupancies and for buildings containing both a Group E
occupancy and an atrium. A diagram depicting two evacuation routes shall be posted in a conspicuous
location in each classroom. Group E occupancies shall also comply with Sections 403.4.1 through 403.4.3.
(Reason: The diagrams are intended to assist with egress in such occupancies – specifically, the primary
teacher is not always present to assist children with egress. Also, such will help reinforce evacuation drill
requirements.)
**Section 404.2.2; add Number 4.10. to read as follows:
4.10. Fire extinguishing system controls.
(Reason: The committee believed this information could be of great help to such plans to facilitate locating
sprinkler valves to minimize water damage, for instance.)
***Section 405.5; change to read as follows:
405.5 Time. The fire code official may require an evacuation drill at any time. Drills shall be held at
unexpected times and under varying conditions to simulate the unusual conditions that occur in case of fire.
Exceptions:
1. {No change.}
2. {No change.}
3. Notification of teachers/staff having supervision of light- or sound-sensitive
students/occupants, such as those on the autism spectrum, for the protection of those
students/occupants, shall be allowed prior to conducting a drill.
(Reason: This change clarifies who may require a fire or evacuation drill, and also allows for
consideration/protection of students/occupants who may be severely negatively impacted by the nature of
a fire alarm notification during a practice drill.)
**Section 501.4; change to read as follows:
501.4 Timing of Installation. When fire apparatus access roads or a water supply for fire protection is
required to be installed for any structure or development, they shall be installed, tested, and approved prior
to the time of which construction has progressed beyond completion of the foundation of any structure. ,
such protection shall be installed and made serviceable prior to and during the time of construction except
when approved alternative methods of protection are provided. Temporary street signs shall be installed at
each street intersection when construction of new roadways allows passage by vehicles in accordance with
Section 505.2.
(Reason: Reflects current practice in the region relative to ensuring fire department and EMS access during
112
ORD 2022-18
construction, which can be a time of increased frequency for emergency incidents.)
**Section 503.1.1; add sentence to read as follows:
Except for one- or two-family dwellings, the path of measurement shall be along a minimum of a 10 feet
(3048 mm) wide unobstructed pathway around the external walls of the structure.
(Reason: Recognizes that the hose lay provision can only be measured along a pathway that is wide
enough for fire fighter access.)
**Section 503.2.1; change to read as follows:
503.2.1 Dimensions. Fire apparatus access roads shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20
24 feet (6096 mm 7315 mm), exclusive of shoulders, except for approved security gates in accordance with
Section 503.6, and an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than 13 feet 6 inches (4115 mm) 14 feet
(4267 mm).
Exception: Vertical clearance may be reduced; provided such reduction does not impair access by fire
apparatus and approved signs are installed and maintained indicating the established vertical clearance
when approved.
(Reason: Amendments to 503.2.1 and 503.2.2 recognize that the equipment now used in firefighting is
increasing in size. The code already recognizes that larger dimensions may be required under Section
503.2.2. The amendments are to standardize the dimensions for this area. With the increase in fire
apparatus size, this will allow for the passage of two fire apparatus during a fire or EMS emergency.)
**Section 503.2.2; change to read as follows:
503.2.2 Authority. The fire code official shall have the authority to require or permit modifications to the
required an increase in the minimum access widths and vertical clearances where they are inadequate for
fire or rescue operations or where necessary to meet the public safety objectives of the jurisdiction.
(Reason: Amendments to 503.2.1 and 503.2.2 recognize that the equipment now used in firefighting is
increasing in size. The code already recognizes that larger dimensions may be required under Section
503.2.2. The amendments are to standardize the dimensions for this area. With the increase in fire
apparatus size, this will allow for the passage of two fire apparatus during a fire or EMS emergency.)
***Section 503.2.3; change Section 503.2.3 to read as follows:
503.2.3 Surface. Fire apparatus access roads shall be designed and maintained to support imposed loads
of 85,000 Lbs. for fire apparatus and shall be surfaced so as to provide all-weather driving capabilities.
(Reason: To address the current size of fire trucks in use – figure derived from DOT requirements for
waiver of vehicle exceeding such weight and from current maximum weights of fire trucks being purchased
by jurisdictions in North Texas.)
**Section 503.3; change to read as follows:
503.3 Marking. Where required by the fire code official, approved signs or other approved notices or
markings that include the words NO PARKING – FIRE LANE Striping, signs, or other markings, when
approved by the fire code official, shall be provided for fire apparatus access roads to identify such roads
or prohibit the obstruction thereof. The means by which fire lanes are designated Striping, signs and other
markings shall be maintained in a clean and legible condition at all times and be replaced or repaired when
necessary to provide adequate visibility.
113
ORD 2022-18
(1) Striping – Fire apparatus access roads shall be continuously marked by painted lines of red traffic
paint six inches (6”) in width to show the boundaries of the lane. The words “NO PARKING FIRE LANE”
or "FIRE LANE NO PARKING” shall appear in four inch (4”) white letters at 25 feet intervals on the red
border markings along both sides of the fire lanes. Where a curb is available, the striping shall be on
the vertical face of the curb.
(2) Signs – Signs shall read “NO PARKING FIRE LANE” or "FIRE LANE NO PARKING” and shall be
12” wide and 18” high. Signs shall be painted on a white background with letters and borders in red,
using not less than 2” lettering. Signs shall be permanently affixed to a stationary post and the bottom
of the sign shall be six feet, six inches (6’6”) above finished grade. Signs shall be spaced not more
than fifty feet (50’) apart along both sides of the fire lane. Signs may be installed on permanent buildings
or walls or as approved by the Fire Chief.
(Reason: Establishes a standard method of marking and reflects regional long-standing practices.)
**Section 503.4; change to read as follows:
503.4 Obstruction of Fire Apparatus Access Roads. Fire apparatus access roads shall not be
obstructed in any manner, including the parking of vehicles. The minimum widths and clearances
established in Section 503.2.1 and 503.2.2 and any area marked as a fire lane as described in Section
503.3 shall be maintained at all times.
(Reason: As originally worded, the section implied that vehicles could be parked in the marked fire lane
and not be in violation if the minimum width is still maintained. Current accepted enforcement practice is
to require the entire marked fire lane to be maintained clear and unobstructed.)
**Section 505.1; change to read as follows:
**Section 505.1; change to read as follows:
505.1 Address Identification. New and existing buildings shall be provided with approved address
identification. The address identification shall be legible and placed in a position that is visible from the
street or road fronting the property. Address identification characters shall contrast with their background.
Address numbers shall be Arabic numbers or alphabetical letters. Numbers shall not be spelled out. Each
character shall be not less than 4 inches (102 mm) 6 inches (152.4 mm) high with a minimum stroke width
of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). Where required by the fire code official, address numbers shall be provided in
additional approved locations to facilitate emergency response. Where access is by means of a private
road, buildings do not immediately front a street, and/or the building cannot be viewed from the public way,
a monument, pole or other sign with approved 6 inch (152.4 mm) height building numerals or addresses
and 4 inch (101.6 mm) height suite/apartment numerals of a color contrasting with the background of the
building or other approved means shall be used to identify the structure. Numerals or addresses shall be
posted on a minimum 20 inch (508 mm) by 30 inch (762 mm) background on border. Address identification
shall be maintained.
Exception: R-3 Single Family occupancies shall have approved numerals of a minimum 3 ½ inches
(88.9 mm) in height and a color contrasting with the background clearly visible and legible from the
street fronting the property and rear alleyway where such alleyway exists.
(Reason: To increase the minimum addressing requirements for commercial properties and establish a
minimum for single-family residential properties Such improves legibility of these signs which are critical to
emergency response in a more timely manner.)
**Section 507.4; change to read as follows:
507.4 Water Supply Test Date and Information. The water supply test used for hydraulic calculation of
fire protection systems shall be conducted in accordance with NFPA 291 “Recommended Practice for Fire
Flow Testing and Marking of Hydrants” and within one year of sprinkler plan submittal. The fire code official
shall be notified prior to the water supply test. Water supply tests shall be witnessed by the fire code official,
114
ORD 2022-18
as required or approved documentation of the test shall be provided to the fire code official prior to final
approval of the water supply system. The exact location of the static/residual hydrant and the flow hydrant
shall be indicated on the design drawings. All fire protection plan submittals shall be accompanied by a
hard copy of the waterflow test report, or as approved by the fire code official. The report must indicate the
dominant water tank level at the time of the test and the maximum and minimum operating levels of the
tank, as well, or identify applicable water supply fluctuation. The licensed contractor must then design the
fire protection system based on this fluctuation information, as per the applicable referenced NFPA
standard. Reference Section 903.3.5 for additional design requirements.
(Reason: Clarifies intent of the test to ensure contractor accounts for water supply fluctuations.)
**Section 507.5.4; change to read as follows:
507.5.4 Obstruction. Unobstructed access to fire hydrants shall be maintained at all times. Posts, fences,
vehicles, growth, trash, storage and other materials or objects shall not be placed or kept near fire hydrants,
fire department inlet connections or fire protection system control valves in a manner that would prevent
such equipment or fire hydrants from being immediately discernible. The fire department shall not be
deterred or hindered from gaining immediate access to fire protection equipment or fire hydrants.
(Reason: Additional guidance based on legacy language to ensure these critical devices are available in
an emergency incident.)
**Section 509.1.2; add to read as follows:
509.1.2 Sign Requirements. Unless more stringent requirements apply, lettering for signs required by this
section shall have a minimum height of 2 inches (50.8 mm) when located inside a building and 4 inches
(101.6 mm) when located outside, or as approved by the fire code official. The letters shall be of a color
that contrasts with the background.
(Reason: Provides direction as to appropriate sign criteria to develop local and regional
consistency in this regard.)
***Section 605.4 through 605.4.2.2 ; change to read as follows:
605.4 Fuel oil storage systems. Fuel oil storage systems for building heating systems shall be installed
and maintained in accordance with this code. Tanks and fuel-oil piping systems shall be installed in
accordance with Chapter 13 of the International Mechanical Code and Chapter 57.
605.4.1 Fuel oil storage in outside, above-ground tanks. Where connected to a fuel-oil piping
system, the maximum amount of fuel oil storage allowed outside above ground without additional
protection shall be 660 gallons (2498 L). The storage of fuel oil above ground in quantities
exceeding 660 gallons (2498 L) shall comply with NFPA 31 and Chapter 57.
605.4.1.1 Approval. Outdoor fuel oil storage tanks shall be in accordance with UL 142 or UL 2085,
and also listed as double-wall/secondary containment tanks.
605.4.2 Fuel oil storage inside buildings. Fuel oil storage inside buildings shall comply with
Sections 605.4.2.2 through 605.4.2.8 or and Chapter 57.
605.4.2.1 Approval. Indoor fuel oil storage tanks shall be in accordance with UL 80, UL
142 or UL 2085.
605.4.2.2 Quantity limits. One or more fuel oil storage tanks containing Class II or III
combustible liquid shall be permitted in a building. The aggregate capacity of all tanks shall
not exceed the following:
115
ORD 2022-18
1. 660 gallons (2498 L) in unsprinklered buildings, where stored in a tank complying with
UL 80, UL 142 or UL 2085, and also listed as a double-wall/secondary containment
tank for Class II liquids.
2. 1,320 gallons (4996 L) in buildings equipped with an automatic sprinkler system in
accordance with Section 903.3.1.1, where stored in a tank complying with UL 142 or
UL 2085. The tank shall be listed as a secondary containment tank, and the secondary
containment shall be monitored visually or automatically.
3. 3,000 gallons (11 356 L) in buildings equipped with an automatic sprinkler system in
accordance with Section 903.3.1.1, where stored in protected above-ground tanks
complying with UL 2085 and Section 5704.2.9.7. The tank shall be listed as a
secondary containment tank, as required by UL 2085, and the secondary containment
shall be monitored visually or automatically.
(Reason: Issues addressed by Chapter 57, such as venting to outside of buildings, remote fill to outside of
building, overfill protection, physical protection, etc., are not included in Section 605.4, so compliance with
Chapter 57 is also required. The Board removed the applicability to heating systems only from the charging
statement based on this more prudent method of diesel storage for generators, boilers, fire pumps and
other fuel-fired equipment inside buildings without requiring Group H occupancy classification – this is now
established practice in the region as well.)
**Section 807.5.2.2 and 807.5.2.3 applicable to Group E occupancies; change to read as follows:
807.5.2.2 Artwork in Corridors. Artwork and teaching materials shall be limited on the walls of corridors
to not more than 20 percent of the wall area. Such materials shall not be continuous from floor to ceiling or
wall to wall. Curtains, draperies, wall hangings, and other decorative material suspended from the walls or
ceilings shall meet the flame propagation performance criteria of NFPA 701 in accordance with Section 807
or be noncombustible.
Exception: Corridors protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance
with Section 903.3.1.1 shall be limited to 50 percent of the wall area.
807.5.2.3 Artwork in Classrooms. Artwork and teaching materials shall be limited on walls of classrooms
to not more than 50 percent of the specific wall area to which they are attached.
Curtains, draperies, wall hangings and other decorative material suspended from the walls or ceilings shall
meet the flame propagation performance criteria of NFPA 701 in accordance with Section 807 or be
noncombustible.
(Reason: This change allows an increase in wall coverage due to the presence of sprinklers. Also provides
additional guidance relative to fire resistance requirements in these areas.)
**Section 807.5.5.2 and 807.5.5.3 applicable to Group I-4 occupancies; change to read as follows:
807.5.5.2 Artwork in Corridors. Artwork and teaching materials shall be limited on the walls of corridors
to not more than 20 percent of the wall area. Such materials shall not be continuous from floor to ceiling or
wall to wall. Curtains, draperies, wall hangings and other decorative material suspended from the walls or
ceilings shall meet the flame propagation performance criteria of NFPA 701 in accordance with Section 807
or be noncombustible.
Exception: Corridors protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance
with Section 903.3.1.1 shall be limited to 50 percent of the wall area.
807.5.5.3 Artwork in Classrooms. Artwork and teaching materials shall be limited on walls of classrooms
to not more than 50 percent of the specific wall area to which they are attached. Curtains, draperies, wall
hangings and other decorative material suspended from the walls or ceilings shall meet the flame
propagation performance criteria of NFPA 701 in accordance with Section 807 or be noncombustible.
(Reason: This change allows an increase in wall coverage due to the presence of sprinklers. Also provides
116
ORD 2022-18
additional guidance relative to fire resistance requirements in these areas.)
**Section 901.6.1.1; add to read as follows:
901.6.1.1 Standpipe Testing. Building owners/managers must maintain and test standpipe systems as
per NFPA 25 requirements. The following additional requirements shall be applied to the testing that is
required every 5 years:
1. The piping between the Fire Department Connection (FDC) and the standpipe shall be backflushed
or inspected by approved camera when foreign material is present or when caps are missing, and
also hydrostatically tested for all FDC’s on any type of standpipe system. Hydrostatic testing shall
also be conducted in accordance with NFPA 25 requirements for the different types of standpipe
systems.
2. For any manual (dry or wet) standpipe system not having an automatic water supply capable of
flowing water through the standpipe, the tester shall connect hose from a fire hydrant or portable
pumping system (as approved by the fire code official) to each FDC, and flow water through the
standpipe system to the roof outlet to verify that each inlet connection functions properly. Confirm that
there are no open hose valves prior to introducing water into a dry standpipe. There is no required
pressure criteria at the outlet. Verify that check valves function properly and that there are no closed
control valves on the system.
3. Any pressure relief, reducing, or control valves shall be tested in accordance with the requirements
of NFPA 25. All hose valves shall be exercised.
4. If the FDC is not already provided with approved caps, the contractor shall install such caps for all
FDC’s as required by the fire code official.
5. Upon successful completion of standpipe test, place a blue tag (as per Texas Administrative Code,
Fire Sprinkler Rules for Inspection, Test and Maintenance Service (ITM) Tag) at the bottom of each
standpipe riser in the building. The tag shall be check-marked as “Fifth Year” for Type of ITM, and
the note on the back of the tag shall read “5 Year Standpipe Test” at a minimum.
6. The procedures required by Texas Administrative Code Fire Sprinkler Rules with regard to Yellow
Tags and Red Tags or any deficiencies noted during the testing, including the required notification
of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (fire code official) shall be followed.
7. Additionally, records of the testing shall be maintained by the owner and contractor, if applicable,
as required by the State Rules mentioned above and NFPA 25.
8. Standpipe system tests where water will be flowed external to the building shall not be conducted
during freezing conditions or during the day prior to expected night time freezing conditions.
9. Contact the fire code official for requests to remove existing fire hose from Class II and III standpipe
systems where employees are not trained in the utilization of this firefighting equipment. All standpipe
hose valves must remain in place and be provided with an approved cap and chain when approval is
given to remove hose by the fire code official.
(Reason: Increases the reliability of the fire protection system and re-emphasizes the requirements of NFPA
25 relative to standpipe systems, as well as ensuring that FDC connections are similarly tested/maintained
to ensure operation in an emergency incident.)
**Section 901.6.4; add to read as follows:
901.6.4 False Alarms and Nuisance Alarms. False alarms and nuisance alarms shall not be given,
signaled or transmitted or caused or permitted to be given, signaled or transmitted in any manner.
117
ORD 2022-18
(Reason: Places the responsibility on the business or property owner to maintain their fire alarm systems
in approved condition. Allows the enforcement of “prohibition of false alarms”. Replaces text lost from the
legacy codes that helps to ensure the maintenance of life safety systems.)
**Section 901.7; change to read as follows:
901.7 Systems Out of Service. Where a required fire protection system is out of service or in the event
of an excessive number of activations, the fire department and the fire code official shall be notified
immediately and, where required by the fire code official, the building shall either be evacuated or an
approved fire watch shall be provided for all occupants left unprotected by the shut down until the fire
protection system has been returned to service. … {Remaining text unchanged}
(Reason: Gives fire code official more discretion with regards to enforcement of facilities experiencing
nuisance alarm or fire protection system activations necessitating correction/repair/replacement. The intent
of the amendment is to allow local jurisdictions to enforce fire watches, etc., where needed to ensure safety
of occupants where fire protection systems are experiencing multiple nuisance activations.)
**Section 903.1.1; change to read as follows:
903.1.1 Alternative Protection. Alternative automatic fire-extinguishing systems complying with Section
904 shall be permitted instead of in addition to automatic sprinkler protection where recognized by the
applicable standard and, or as approved by the fire code official.
(Reason: Such alternative systems do not provide the reliability of automatic sprinkler protection. Most
gaseous type systems are highly susceptible to open doors, ceiling or floor tile removal, etc. However, an
applicant could pursue an Alternate Method request to help mitigate the reliability issues with these
alternative systems with the fire code official if so desired, or there may be circumstances in which the fire
code official is acceptable to allowing an alternate system in lieu of sprinklers, such as kitchen hoods or
paint booths.)
**Section 903.2; add paragraph to read as follows and delete the Exception for telecommunications
buildings:
Automatic Sprinklers shall not be installed in elevator machine rooms, elevator machine spaces, and
elevator hoistways, other than pits where such sprinklers would not necessitate shunt trip requirements
under any circumstances. Storage shall not be allowed within the elevator machine room. Signage shall be
provided at the entry doors to the elevator machine room indicating “ELEVATOR MACHINERY – NO
STORAGE ALLOWED.”
(Reason: Firefighter and public safety. This amendment eliminates the shunt trip requirement of the
International Building Code Section 3005.5 for the purpose of elevator passenger and firefighter safety.
This amendment is contingent on the Building Code amendment eliminating the Exceptions to Section
3005.4, such that passive fire barriers for these areas are maintained. The exception deletion is due to the
fact that such telecom areas pose an undue fire risk to the structural integrity of the building.)
***Section 903.2.4.2; change to read as follows:
903.2.4.2 Group F-1 distilled spirits. An automatic sprinkler system shall be provided throughout a Group
F-1 fire area used for the manufacture of distilled spirits involving more than 120 gallons of distilled spirits
(>16% alcohol) in the fire area at any one time.
(Reason: To establish a sprinkler criteria limit based on existing maximum allowable quantities provided
for flammable liquids in a non-sprinklered space from Chapter 50 and allow very small distillery type
operations without sprinkler requirements as has been historically allowed.)
118
ORD 2022-18
***Section 903.2.9.3; change to read as follows:
903.2.9.3 Group S-1 distilled spirits or wine. An automatic sprinkler system shall be provided throughout
a Group S-1 fire area used for the bulk storage of distilled spirits or wine involving more than 120 gallons
of distilled spirits or wine (>16% alcohol) in the fire area at any one time.
(Reason: To establish a sprinkler criteria limit based on existing maximum allowable quantities provided
for flammable liquids in a non-sprinklered space from Chapter 50 and allow very small storage operations
without sprinkler requirements as has been historically allowed.)
**Section 903.2.9.4 and 903.2.9.5; delete Exception to 903.2.9.4 and add Section 903.2.9.5 to read as
follows:
903.2.9.5 Self-Service Storage Facility. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout all
self-service storage facilities.
(Reason: Fire departments are unable to regularly inspect the interior of these commercial occupancies
and are unaware of the contents being stored. Previous allowance to separate units by fire barriers is
difficult to enforce maintenance after opening.)
Section 903.2.11; change 903.2.11.3 and add 903.2.11.7, 903.2.11.8, and 903.2.11.9 as follows:
903.2.11.3 Buildings 55 35 feet or more in height. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed
throughout buildings that have one or more stories with an occupant load of 30 or more, other than
penthouses in compliance with Section 1511 of the International Building Code, located 55 35 feet
(16 764 10 668 mm) or more above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access, measured to
the finished floor.
Exception:
1. Occupancies in Group F-2.
903.2.11.7 High-Piled Combustible Storage. For any building with a clear height exceeding 12 feet
(4572 mm), see Chapter 32 to determine if those provisions apply.
903.2.11.8 Spray Booths and Rooms. New and existing spray booths and spraying rooms shall be
protected by an approved automatic fire-extinguishing system.
903.2.11.9 Buildings Over 6,000 sq. ft. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout
all buildings with a building area 6,000 sq. ft. or greater and in all existing buildings that are enlarged
to be 6,000 sq. ft. or greater. For the purpose of this provision, fire walls shall not define separate
buildings.
119
ORD 2022-18
Exception:Open parking garages in compliance with Section 406.5 of the International Building Code
where all of the following conditions apply:
a.The structure is freestanding.
b.The structure does not contain any mixed uses, accessory uses, storage rooms,
electrical rooms, elevators or spaces used or occupied for anything other than motor
vehicle parking.
c.The structure does not exceed 3 stories.
d.An approved fire apparatus access road is provided around the entire structure.
(Reason: Provides jurisdictions options as to their desired level of sprinkler protection based on multiple
factors including firefighting philosophies/capabilities.)
**Section 903.3.1.1.1; change to read as follows:
903.3.1.1.1 Exempt Locations. When approved by the fire code official, automatic sprinklers shall not be
required in the following rooms or areas where such ... {text unchanged}… because it is damp, of fire-
resistance-rated construction or contains electrical equipment.
1. Any room where the application of water, or flame and water, constitutes a serious life or fire hazard.
2. Any room or space where sprinklers are considered undesirable because of the nature of the
contents, where approved by the fire code official.
3. Generator and transformer rooms, under the direct control of a public utility, separated from the
remainder of the building by walls and floor/ceiling or roof/ceiling assemblies having a fire-
resistance rating of not less than 2 hours.
4. Rooms or areas that are of noncombustible construction with wholly noncombustible contents.
5. Fire service access Elevator machine rooms, and machinery spaces, and hoistways, other than
pits where such sprinklers would not necessitate shunt trip requirements under any circumstances.
6. {Delete.}
(Reason: Gives more direction to code official. Exception 4 deleted to provide protection where fire risks
are poorly addressed. Amendment 903.2 addresses Exception 5 above relative to the elimination of
sprinkler protection in these areas to avoid the shunt trip requirement.)
***Section 903.3.1.2; change to read as follows:
903.3.1.2 NFPA 13R sprinkler systems. Automatic sprinkler systems in Group R occupancies shall
be permitted to be installed throughout in accordance with NFPA 13R where the Group R occupancy
meets all of the following conditions:
1. Four stories or less above grade plane.
2. The floor level of the highest story is 30 35 feet (9144 10668 mm) or less above the lowest level of
fire department vehicle access.
3. The floor level of the lowest story is 30 35 feet (9144 10668 mm) or less below the lowest level of
fire department vehicle access.
{No change to remainder of section.}
(Reason: The change to the 2021 IFC over-reached to limit 13R systems to 30 ft. high at topmost floor
level, which basically results in limiting 13R systems to 3 story buildings in reality. This change to 35 ft.
would still allow 13R systems in 4 story apartment buildings, as has been allowed historically and as
intended by 13R’s scope.)
***Section 903.3.1.2.2; change to read as follows:
120
ORD 2022-18
903.3.1.2.2 Corridors and balconies in the means of egress. Sprinkler protection shall be provided in
all corridors and for all balconies. in the means of egress where any of the following conditions apply:
{Delete the rest of this section.}
(Reason: Corridor protection is critical to the means of egress, and corridors are regularly utilized for
miscellaneous storage, fixtures, artwork, food kiosks and beverage dispensers, and furnishings. Balcony
protection is required due to issues with fire exposure via soffit vents and the potential for significant
combustible loading.)
**Section 903.3.1.2.3; delete section and replace as follows:
Section 903.3.1.2.3 Attached Garages and Attics. Sprinkler protection is required in attached garages,
and in the following attic spaces:
1. Attics that are used or intended for living purposes or storage shall be protected by an
automatic sprinkler system.
2. Where fuel-fired equipment is installed in an unsprinklered attic, not fewer than one quick-
response intermediate temperature sprinkler shall be installed above the equipment.
3. Attic spaces of buildings that are two or more stories in height above grade plane or above the
lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
4. Group R-4, Condition 2 occupancy attics not required by Item 1 or 3 to have sprinklers shall
comply with one of the following:
4.1. Provide automatic sprinkler system protection.
4.2. Provide a heat detection system throughout the attic that is arranged to activate the
building fire alarm system.
4.3. Construct the attic using noncombustible materials.
4.4. Construct the attic using fire-retardant-treated wood complying with Section 2303.2 of
the International Building Code.
4.5. Fill the attic with noncombustible insulation.
(Reason: Attic protection is required due to issues with fire exposure via soffit vents, as well as firefighter
safety. Several jurisdictions indicated experience with un-protected attic fires resulting in displacement of
all building occupants. NFPA 13 provides for applicable attic sprinkler protection requirements, as well as
exemptions to such, based on noncombustible construction, etc. Attached garages already require
sprinklers via NFPA 13R – this amendment just re-emphasizes the requirement.)
**Section 903.3.1.3; change to read as follows:
903.3.1.3 NFPA 13D Sprinkler Systems. Automatic sprinkler systems installed in one- and two-family
dwellings; Group R-3; Group R-4, Condition 1; and townhouses shall be permitted to be installed throughout
in accordance with NFPA 13D or in accordance with state law.
(Reason: To allow the use of the Plumbing section of the International Residential Code (IRC) and
recognize current state stipulations in this regard.)
**Section 903.3.1.4; add to read as follows:
903.3.1.4 Freeze protection. Freeze protection systems for automatic fire sprinkler systems shall be in
accordance with the requirements of the applicable referenced NFPA standard and this section.
903.3.1.4.1 Attics. Only dry-pipe, preaction, or listed antifreeze automatic fire sprinkler systems
shall be allowed to protect attic spaces.
Exception: Wet-pipe fire sprinkler systems shall be allowed to protect non-ventilated attic
spaces where:
121
ORD 2022-18
1. The attic sprinklers are supplied by a separate floor control valve assembly to allow
ease of draining the attic system without impairing sprinklers throughout the rest
of the building, and
2. Adequate heat shall be provided for freeze protection as per the applicable
referenced NFPA standard, and
3. The attic space is a part of the building’s thermal, or heat, envelope, such that
insulation is provided at the roof deck, rather than at the ceiling level.
903.3.1.4.2 Heat trace/insulation. Heat trace/insulation shall only be allowed where approved by
the fire code official for small sections of large diameter water-filled pipe.
(Reason: In the last few years, severe winters brought to light several issues with current practices for
sprinklering attics, not the least of which was wet-pipe sprinklers in ventilated attics provided with space
heaters, etc. for freeze protection of such piping. This practice is not acceptable for the protection of water-
filled piping in a ventilated attic space as it does not provide a reliable means of maintaining the minimum
40 degrees required by NFPA, wastes energy, and presents a potential ignition source to the attic space.
Listed antifreeze is specifically included because NFPA currently allows such even though there is no
currently listed antifreeze at the time of development of these amendments. The intent of this amendment
is to help reduce the large number of freeze breaks that have occurred in the past with water-filled wet-pipe
sprinkler systems in the future, most specifically in attic spaces.)
**Section 903.3.5; add a second paragraph to read as follows:
Water supply as required for such systems shall be provided in conformance with the supply requirements
of the respective NFPA standards; however, every water-based fire protection system shall be designed
with a 10 psi safety factor. Reference Section 507.4 for additional design requirements.
(Reason: To define uniform safety factor for the region.)
**Section 903.4; add a second paragraph after the Exceptions to read as follows:
Sprinkler and standpipe system water-flow detectors shall be provided for each floor tap to the sprinkler
system and shall cause an alarm upon detection of water flow for more than 45 seconds. All control valves
in the sprinkler and standpipe systems except for fire department hose connection valves shall be
electrically supervised to initiate a supervisory signal at the central station upon tampering.
(Reason: To avoid significant water losses. Consistent with amendment to IFC 905.9.)
**Section 903.4.2; add second paragraph to read as follows:
The alarm device required on the exterior of the building shall be a weatherproof horn/strobe notification
appliance with a minimum 75 candela strobe rating, installed as close as practicable to the fire department
connection.
(Reason: Fire department connections are not always located at the riser; this allows the fire department
faster access and ease of recognition of the FDC location, especially at night.)
**Section 905.3.9; add to read as follows:
905.3.9 Buildings Exceeding 10,000 sq. ft. In buildings exceeding 10,000 square feet in area per story
and where any portion of the building’s interior area is more than 200 feet (60960 mm) of travel, vertically
and horizontally, from the nearest point of fire department vehicle access, Class I automatic wet or manual
wet standpipes shall be provided.
Exceptions:
122
ORD 2022-18
1. Automatic dry, semi-automatic dry, and manual dry standpipes are allowed as provided for in
NFPA 14 where approved by the fire code official.
2. R-2 occupancies of four stories or less in height having no interior corridors.
(Reason: Allows for the rapid deployment of hose lines to the body of the fire in larger structures.)
**Section 905.4; change Items 1, 3, and 5, and add Item 7 to read as follows:
1. In every required interior exit stairway, a hose connection shall be provided for each story above
and below grade plane. Hose connections shall be located at an intermediate landing between
stories, unless otherwise approved by the fire code official.
Exception: {No change.}
2. {No change.}
3. In every exit passageway, at the entrance from the exit passageway to other areas of a building.
Exception: Where floor areas adjacent to an exit passageway are reachable from an
interior exit stairway hose connection by a {remainder of text unchanged}
4. {No change.}
5. Where the roof has a slope less than 4 units vertical in 12 units horizontal (33.3-percent slope), each
standpipe shall be provided with a two-way a hose connection shall be located to serve the roof or
at the highest landing of an interior exit stairway with stair access to the roof provided in accordance
with Section 1011.12.
6. {No change.}
7.When required by this Chapter, standpipe connections shall be placed adjacent to all required exits
to the structure and at two hundred feet (200’) intervals along major corridors thereafter, or as
otherwise approved by the fire code official.
(Reason: Item 1, 3, and 5 amendments to remove ‘interior’ will help to clarify that such connections are
required for all ‘exit’ stairways, to ensure firefighter capabilities are not diminished in these tall buildings,
simply because the stair is on the exterior of the building. Item 5 reduces the amount of pressure required
to facilitate testing, and provides backup protection for fire fighter safety. Item 7 allows for the rapid
deployment of hose lines to the body of the fire.)
***Section 905.8; change to read as follows:
905.8 Dry standpipes. Dry standpipes shall not be installed.
Exception: Where subject to freezing and in accordance with NFPA 14. Additionally, manual dry
standpipe systems shall be supervised with a minimum of 10 psig and a maximum of 40 psig air
pressure with a high/low Supervisory alarm.
(Reason: To define manual dry standpipe supervision requirements. Helps ensure the integrity of the
standpipe system via supervision, such that open hose valves will result in a supervisory low air alarm.
NFPA 14 requires supervisory air for such, but does not provide pressure criteria for what that means. This
is a long-standing regional requirement.)
**Section 905.9; add a second paragraph after the exceptions to read as follows:
Sprinkler and standpipe system water-flow detectors shall be provided for each floor tap to the sprinkler
system and shall cause an alarm upon detection of water flow for more than 45 seconds. All control valves
in the sprinkler and standpipe systems except for fire department hose connection valves shall be
electrically supervised to initiate a supervisory signal at the central station upon tampering.
(Reason: To avoid significant water losses. Consistent with amendment to IFC 903.4.)
***Section 906.1(1); delete Exception 3 as follows:
123
ORD 2022-18
3. In storage areas of Group S occupancies where forklift, powered industrial truck or powered
cart operators are the primary occupants,
fixed extinguishers, as specified in NFPA 10, shall not be required where in accordance with all of
the following:
3.1. Use of vehicle-mounted extinguishers shall be approved by the fire code official.
3.2. Each vehicle shall be equipped with a 10-pound, 40A:80B:C extinguisher affixed to
the vehicle using a mounting bracket approved
by the extinguisher manufacturer or the fire code official for vehicular use.
3.3. Not less than two spare extinguishers of equal or greater rating shall be available on-
site to replace a discharged extinguisher.
3.4. Vehicle operators shall be trained in the proper operation, use and inspection of
extinguishers.
3.5. Inspections of vehicle-mounted extinguishers shall be performed daily.
(Reason: This provision of only having vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers is not at all consistent with
historical practice of requiring extinguishers throughout based on travel distance. Often times, the vehicle
is what has caused the incident and/or may be the source of the incident, so having the extinguisher vehicle-
mounted results in greater potential injury of the user. This assumes the only occupants in the building are
on a vehicle, which again, significantly reduces access to fire extinguishers throughout the building to other
occupants. Future use of the building/tenancy may change further complicating the issue.)
**Section 907.1.4; add to read as follows:
907.1.4 Design Standards. Where a new fire alarm system is installed, the devices shall be addressable.
Fire alarm systems utilizing more than 20 smoke detectors shall have analog initiating devices.
(Reason: Provides for the ability of descriptive identification of alarms, and reduces need for panel
replacement in the future. Change of terminology allows for reference back to definitions of NFPA 72.)
**Section 907.2.1; change to read as follows:
907.2.1 Group A. A manual fire alarm system that activates the occupant notification system in accordance
with Section 907.5 shall be installed in Group A occupancies where the having an occupant load due to the
assembly occupancy is of 300 or more persons, or where the Group A occupant load is more than 100
persons above or below the lowest level of exit discharge. Group A occupancies not separated from
one another in accordance with Section 707.3.10 of the International Building Code shall be considered as
a single occupancy for the purposes of applying this section. Portions of Group E occupancies occupied
for assembly purposes shall be provided with a fire alarm system as required for the Group E occupancy.
Exception: {No change.}
Activation of fire alarm notification appliances shall:
1. Cause illumination of the means of egress with light of not less than 1 foot-candle (11 lux) at the
walking surface level, and
2. Stop any conflicting or confusing sounds and visual distractions.
(Reason: Increases the requirement to be consistent with Group B requirement. Also addresses issue found
in Group A occupancies of reduced lighting levels and other A/V equipment that distracts from fire alarm
notification devices or reduces ability of fire alarm system to notify occupants of the emergency condition.)
**Section 907.2.3; change to read as follows:
907.2.3 Group E. A manual fire alarm system that initiates the occupant notification signal utilizing an
emergency voice/alarm communication system meeting the requirements of Section 907.5.2.2 and installed
in accordance with Section 907.6 shall be installed in Group E educational occupancies. When automatic
124
ORD 2022-18
sprinkler systems or smoke detectors are installed, such systems or detectors shall be connected to the
building fire alarm system. An approved smoke detection system shall be installed in Group E day care
occupancies. Unless separated by a minimum of 100' open space, all buildings, whether portable buildings
or the main building, will be considered one building for alarm occupant load consideration and
interconnection of alarm systems.
Exceptions:
1. {No change.}
1.1.Residential In-Home day care with not more than 12 children may use interconnected
single station detectors in all habitable rooms. (For care of more than five children 2 1/2 or
less years of age, see Section 907.2.6.)
{No change to remainder of exceptions.}
(Reason: To distinguish educational from day care occupancy minimum protection requirements. Further,
to define threshold at which portable buildings are considered a separate building for the purposes of alarm
systems. Exceptions provide consistency with State law concerning such occupancies.)
***Section 907.2.10; change to read as follows:
907.2.10 Group S. A manual fire alarm system that activates the occupant notification system in
accordance with Section 907.5 shall be installed in Group S public- and self-storage occupancies three
stories or greater in height for interior corridors and interior common areas. Visible notification appliances
are not required within storage units.
Exception: {No change.}
(Reason: Because of the potential unknown fire load and hazards in self-storage type facilities, which could
include flammable liquids for instance, as well as other hazardous materials, prompt evacuation in the event
of fire alarm is needed; therefore, notification in the corridors/common areas is critical to all such
occupancies, regardless of height.)
**Section 907.2.13, Exception #3; change to read as follows:
3. Open air portions of buildings with an occupancy in Group A-5 in accordance with Section 303.1 of the
International Building Code; however, this exception does not apply to accessory uses including but
not limited to sky boxes, restaurants, and similarly enclosed areas.
(Reason: To indicate that enclosed areas within open air seating type occupancies are not exempted from
automatic fire alarm system requirements.)
**Section 907.4.2.7; add to read as follows:
907.4.2.7 Type. Manual alarm initiating devices shall be an approved double action type.
(Reason: Helps to reduce false alarms.)
**Section 907.6.1.1; add to read as follows:
907.6.1.1 Wiring Installation. All fire alarm systems shall be installed in such a manner that a failure of
any single initiating device or single open in an initiating circuit conductor will not interfere with the normal
operation of other such devices. All signaling line circuits (SLC) shall be installed in such a way that a single
open will not interfere with the operation of any addressable devices (Class A). Outgoing and return SLC
conductors shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 72 requirements for Class A circuits and shall have
a minimum of four feet separation horizontal and one foot vertical between supply and return circuit
conductors. The initiating device circuit (IDC) from a signaling line circuit interface device may be wired
Class B, provided the distance from the interface device to the initiating device is ten feet or less.
125
ORD 2022-18
(Reason: To provide uniformity in system specifications and guidance to design engineers. Improves
reliability of fire alarm devices and systems.)
**Section 907.6.3; delete all four Exceptions.
(Reason: To assist responding personnel in locating the emergency event for all fire alarm systems. This
is moved from 907.6.5.3 in the 2012 IFC and reworded to match new code language and sections.)
**Section 907.6.6; add sentence at end of paragraph to read as follows:
See 907.6.3 for the required information transmitted to the supervising station.
(Reason: To assist responding personnel in locating the emergency event for all fire alarm systems. This
was moved from 907.6.5.3 in the 2012 IFC and reworded to match new code language and sections (legacy
language).)
**Section 910.2; change Exceptions #2 and 3 to read as follows:
2. Only manual smoke and heat removal shall not be required in areas of buildings equipped with
early suppression fast-response (ESFR) sprinklers. Automatic smoke and heat removal is
prohibited.
3. Only manual smoke and heat removal shall not be required in areas of buildings equipped with
control mode special application sprinklers with a response time index of 50(m*S)1/2 or less that are
listed to control a fire in stored commodities with 12 or fewer sprinklers. Automatic smoke and heat
removal is prohibited.
(Reason: Allows the fire department to control the smoke and heat during and after a fire event, while still
prohibiting such systems from being automatically activated, which is a potential detriment to the particular
sprinkler systems indicated.)
**Section 910.2.3; add to read as follows:
910.2.3 Group H. Buildings and portions thereof used as a Group H occupancy as follows:
1. In occupancies classified as Group H-2 or H-3, any of which are more than 15,000 square feet
(1394 m2) in single floor area.
Exception: Buildings of noncombustible construction containing only noncombustible materials.
2. In areas of buildings in Group H used for storing Class 2, 3, and 4 liquid and solid oxidizers, Class 1
and unclassified detonable organic peroxides, Class 3 and 4 unstable (reactive) materials, or Class
2 or 3 water-reactive materials as required for a high-hazard commodity classification.
Exception: Buildings of noncombustible construction containing only noncombustible materials.
(Reason: Maintains a fire protection device utilized in such occupancies where it is sometimes necessary
to allow chemicals to burn out, rather than extinguish. This is based on legacy language establishing long-
standing historical practice.)
**Section 910.4.3.1; change to read as follows:
910.4.3.1 Makeup Air. Makeup air openings shall be provided within 6 feet (1829 mm) of the floor level.
Operation of makeup air openings shall be manual or automatic. The minimum gross area of makeup air
inlets shall be 8 square feet per 1,000 cubic feet per minute (0.74 m2 per 0.4719 m3/s) of smoke exhaust.
(Reason: Makeup air has been required to be automatic for several years now in this region when
mechanical smoke exhaust systems are proposed. This allows such systems to be activated from the
126
ORD 2022-18
smoke control panel by first responders without having to physically go around the exterior of the building
opening doors manually. Such requires a significant number of first responders on scene to conduct this
operation and significantly delays activation and/or capability of the smoke exhaust system.)
**Section 912.2.3; add to read as follows:
912.2.3 Hydrant Distance. An approved fire hydrant shall be located within 100 50 feet of the fire
department connection as the fire hose lays along an unobstructed path.
(Reason: To accommodate limited hose lengths, improve response times where the FDC is needed to
achieve fire control, and improve ease of locating a fire hydrant in those situations also. Also, consistent
with NFPA 14 criteria.)
**Section 913.2.1; add second paragraph and exception to read as follows:
When located on the ground level at an exterior wall, the fire pump room shall be provided with an exterior
fire department access door that is not less than 3 ft. in width and 6 ft. – 8 in. in height, regardless of any
interior doors that are provided. A key box shall be provided at this door, as required by Section 506.1.
Exception: When it is necessary to locate the fire pump room on other levels or not at an exterior wall,
the corridor leading to the fire pump room access from the exterior of the building shall be provided with
equivalent fire resistance as that required for the pump room, or as approved by the fire code
official. Access keys shall be provided in the key box as required by Section 506.1.
(Reason: This requirement allows fire fighters safer access to the fire pump room. The requirement allows
access without being required to enter the building and locate the fire pump room interior access door
during a fire event. The exception recognizes that this will not always be a feasible design scenario for
some buildings, and as such, provides an acceptable alternative to protect the pathway to the fire pump
room.)
**Section 914.3.1.2; change to read as follows:
914.3.1.2 Water Supply to required Fire Pumps. In all buildings that are more than 420 120 feet (128
36.6 m) in building height, and buildings of Type IVA and IVB construction that are more than 120 feet (36.6
m) in building height, required fire pumps shall be supplied by connections to no fewer than two water mains
located in different streets. Separate supply piping shall be provided between each connection to the water
main and the pumps. Each connection and the supply piping between the connection and the pumps shall
be sized to supply the flow and pressure required for the pumps to operate.
Exception: {No change to exception.}
(Reason: The 2009 edition of the IFC added this requirement based on a need for redundancy of the water
supply similar to the redundancy of the power supply to the fire pumps required for such tall buildings,
partially due to the fact that these buildings are rarely fully evacuated in a fire event. More commonly, the
alarm activates on the floor of the event, the floor above and the floor below. Back-up power to the fire
pump becomes critical for this reason. Certainly, the power is pointless if the water supply is impaired for
any reason, so a similar requirement is provided here for redundant water supplies. The 2015 edition
changes the requirement to only apply to very tall buildings over 420 ft. This amendment modifies/lowers
the requirement to 120 ft., based on this same height requirement for fire service access elevators. Again,
the language from the 2009 and 2012 editions of the code applied to any high-rise building. This
compromise at 120 ft. is based on the above technical justification of defend-in-place scenarios in fire
incidents in such tall structures.)
***Section 1006.2.1; change Exception #3 to read as follows:
127
ORD 2022-18
1006.2.1 Egress based on occupant load and common path of egress travel distance. Two exits or
exit doorways from any space shall be provided where the design occupant load or the common path of
egress travel distance exceeds the values listed in Table 1006.2.1. The cumulative occupant load from
adjacent rooms, areas or space shall be determined in accordance with Section 1004.2.
Exceptions:
1. {No change.}
2. {No change.}
3. Unoccupied rooftop mechanical rooms and penthouses are not required to comply with
the common path of egress travel distance measurement.
(Reason: Add “rooftop” to Exception No. 3 to clarify that only such mechanical rooms located on the roof
may be exempted.)
**Section 1009.8; add Exception #7 to read as follows:
Exceptions:
1. through 6. {No change.}
7. Buildings regulated under State Law and built in accordance with State registered plans,
including variances or waivers granted by the State, shall be deemed to be in
compliance with the requirements of Section 1009 and Chapter 11.
(Reason: To accommodate buildings regulated under Texas State Law and to be consistent with
amendments in Chapter 11.)
**Section 1010.2.5; change Exceptions #3 and 4 to read as follows:
Exceptions:
1. {No change.}
2. {No change.}
3. Where a pair of doors serves an occupant load of less than 50 persons in a Group B, F,
M or S occupancy. (remainder unchanged)
4. Where a pair of doors serves a Group A, B, F, M or S occupancy (remainder unchanged)
5. {No change.}
(Reason: It is common in our region to see the 2nd leaf locked, when that leaf is not part of the required
egress door clear width, such as in a typical Group M occupancy. Exception No. 4 was expanded to Group
A due to it being a similar situation for Group A restaurants.)
**Section 1020.2; add Exception #6 to read as follows:
Exceptions:
1. through 5. {No change.}
6. In unsprinklered group B occupancies, corridor walls and ceilings need not be of fire-
resistive construction within a single tenant space when the space is equipped with
approved automatic smoke-detection within the corridor. The actuation of any detector
must activate self-annunciating alarms audible in all areas within the corridor. Smoke
detectors must be connected to an approved automatic fire alarm system where such
system is provided.
(Reason: Similar concept was previously in UBC – legacy language. This scenario occurs primarily in
existing, non-sprinklered buildings, which under current IBC would be required to have a fire resistance
rated corridor. This exception provides a cost-effective solution for single tenant space in lieu of the base
IBC requirement to retrofit a fire sprinkler system throughout the building.)
***Section 1030.1.1.1; add Exception#4 to read as follows:
Exceptions:
1. through 3. {No change.}
128
ORD 2022-18
4. Where alternate means or methods are submitted to and approved by the Building and
Fire Officials.
(Reason: This base IBC provision applies to all grandstands and bleachers and does not differentiate
between open air grandstands & bleachers, smaller, less complex grandstands and bleachers and or
movable/non-fixed grandstands and bleachers. The new exception permits the AHJ to be presented with
alternate means or methods that take into consideration these differentiators that are unique to the specific
grandstand and/or bleacher.)
**Section 1032.2; change to read as follows:
1032.2 Reliability. Required exit accesses, exits and exit discharges shall be continuously maintained free
from obstructions or impediments to full instant use in the case of fire or other emergency where the building
area served by the means of egress is occupied. An exit or exit passageway shall not be used for any
purpose that interferes with a means of egress.
(Reason: Maintain legacy levels of protection and long-standing regional practice, and provide firefighter
safety.)
**Section 1103.3; add sentence to end of paragraph as follows:
Provide emergency signage as required by Section 604.4.
(Reason: This signage to avoid elevators in a fire emergency is critical to life safety justifying the retroactive
requirement.)
**Section 1103.5.1; add sentence to read as follows:
Fire sprinkler system installation shall be completed within 24 months from date of notification by the fire
code official.
(Reason: Regional consistency of this retroactive requirement to allow business owners adequate time to
budget to accommodate the cost of the fire sprinkler system.)
**Section 1103.5.6; add to read as follows:
1103.5.6 Spray Booths and Rooms. Existing spray booths and spray rooms shall be protected by an
approved automatic fire-extinguishing system in accordance with Section 2404.
(Reason: Consistent with amendment to IFC 2404, and long-standing regional requirement to protect this
hazardous operation.)
**Section 1103.7.7; add to read as follows:
1103.7.7 Fire Alarm System Design Standards. Where an existing fire alarm system is upgraded or
replaced, the devices shall be addressable. Fire alarm systems utilizing more than 20 smoke and/or heat
detectors shall have analog initiating devices.
Exception: Existing systems need not comply unless the total building, or fire alarm system, remodel
or expansion exceeds 30% of the building. When cumulative building, or fire alarm system, remodel
or expansion initiated after the date of original fire alarm panel installation exceeds 50% of the building,
or fire alarm system, the fire alarm system must comply within 18 months of permit application.
1103.7.7.1 Communication requirements. Refer to Section 907.6.6 for applicable requirements.
129
ORD 2022-18
(Reason: To assist responding personnel in locating the emergency event and provide clarity as to
percentages of work that results in a requirement to upgrade the entire fire alarm system.)
***Section 1203; change and add to read as follows:
1203.1.1 {No change.}
1203.1.2 {No change.}
1203.1.3 Installation. Emergency power systems and standby power systems shall be installed in
accordance with the International Building Code, NFPA 70, NFPA 110 and NFPA 111. Existing installations
shall be maintained in accordance with the original approval, except as specified in Chapter 11.
1203.1.4 {No change.}
1203.1.5 Load Duration. Emergency power systems and standby power systems shall be designed to
provide the required power for a minimum duration of 2 hours without being refueled or recharged, unless
specified otherwise in this code.
Exception: Where the system is supplied with natural gas from a utility provider and is approved.
1203.1.6 through 1203.1.9 {No changes to these sections.}
1203.1.10 Critical Operations Power Systems (COPS). For Critical Operations Power Systems
necessary to maintain continuous power supply to facilities or parts of facilities that require continuous
operation for the reasons of public safety, emergency management, national security, or business
continuity, see NFPA 70.
1203.2 Where Required. Emergency and standby power systems shall be provided where required by
Sections 1203.2.1 through 1203.2.1826 or elsewhere identified in this code or any other referenced code.
1203.2.1 through 1203.2.3 {No change.}
1203.2.4 Emergency Voice/alarm Communications Systems. Emergency power shall be provided for
emergency voice/alarm communications systems in the following occupancies, or as specified elsewhere
in this code, as required in Section 907.5.2.2.5. The system shall be capable of powering the required load
for a duration of not less than 24 hours, as required in NFPA 72.
Covered and Open Malls, Section 907.2.20 and 914.2
Group A Occupancies, Sections 907.2.1 and 907.5.2.2
Special Amusement Areas, Section 907.2.12 and 914.7

1203.2.5 through 1203.2.14 {No change.}
1203.2.15 Means of Egress Illumination. Emergency power shall be provided for means of egress
illumination in accordance with Sections 1008.3 and 1104.5.1. (90 minutes)
1203.2.16 Membrane Structures. Emergency power shall be provided for exit signs in temporary tents
and membrane structures in accordance with Section 3103.12.6. (90 minutes) Standby power shall be
provided for auxiliary inflation systems in permanent membrane structures in accordance with Section 2702
of the International Building Code. (4 hours) Auxiliary inflation systems shall be provided in temporary air-
supported and air-inflated membrane structures in accordance with section 3103.10.4.
1203.2.17 {No change.}
1203.2.18 Smoke Control Systems. Standby power shall be provided for smoke control systems in the
following occupancies, or as specified elsewhere in this code, as required in Section 909.11:

means of egress illumination in accordance with Section 1104.5 when required by the fire code official. (90
minutes in I-2, 60 minutes elsewhere.)
1203.3 through 1203.6 {No change.}
(Reason: These amendments were moved from Chapter 6, due to relocation of the published sections to
this new Chapter 12 in the past edition of the code and have now been updated for this edition. These
provisions provide a list to complete and match that throughout the codes. The only additional requirements
are the reference to COPS in NFPA 70, and the specified Energy time duration. Other changes are a
reference to a code provision that already exists.)
**Section 2304.1; change to read as follows:
2304.1 Supervision of Dispensing. The dispensing of fuel at motor fuel-dispensing facilities shall be
conducted by a qualified attendant or shall be under the supervision of a qualified attendant at all times or
shall be in accordance with Section 2204.3. the following:
1. Conducted by a qualified attendant; and/or,
2. Shall be under the supervision of a qualified attendant; and/or
3. Shall be an unattended self-service facility in accordance with Section 2304.3.
At any time the qualified attendant of item Number 1 or 2 above is not present, such operations shall be
considered as an unattended self-service facility and shall also comply with Section 2304.3.
(Reason: Allows a facility to apply the attended and unattended requirements of the code when both are
potentially applicable.)
**Section 2401.2; delete this section in its entirety.
(Reason: This section eliminates such booths from all compliance with Chapter 24 including, but not limited
to: size, ventilation, fire protection, construction, etc. If the product utilized is changed to a more flammable
substance, the lack of compliance with Chapter 15 could result in significant fire or deflagration and
subsequent life safety hazard.)
**Section 3103.3.1; delete this section in its entirety
(Reason: This section requires a fire sprinkler system to be installed in temporary tents and membrane
structures, which is not a reasonable or enforceable requirement for a temporary use. A fire watch or fire
alarm system is a more advisable approach for such occupancies that are only temporary in nature.)
**Table 3206.2, footnote h; change text to read as follows:
131
ORD 2022-18
h.Not required Where storage areas are protected by either early suppression fast response (ESFR)
sprinkler systems or control mode special application sprinklers with a response time index of 50 (m •
s) 1/2 or less that are listed to control a fire in the stored commodities with 12 or fewer sprinklers,
installed in accordance with NFPA 13, manual smoke and heat vents or manually activated engineered
mechanical smoke exhaust systems shall be required within these areas.
(Reason: Allows the fire department to control the smoke and heat during and after a fire event, while
ensuring proper operation of the sprinkler protection provided. Also, gives an alternative to smoke and heat
vents.)
**Table 3206.2; add footnote j to row titled ‘High Hazard’ and ‘Greater than 300,000’ to read as
follows:
j. High hazard high-piled storage areas shall not exceed 500,000 square feet. A 2-hour fire wall
constructed in accordance with Section 706 of the International Building Code shall be used to divide
high-piled storage exceeding 500,000 square feet in area.
(Reason: This is a long-standing legacy requirement and provides passive protection for extremely large
buildings where it would be otherwise impossible to control the spread of fire without the fire wall in place
in an uncontrolled fire event, which is much more likely in high hazard commodities, such as tires, flammable
liquids, expanded plastics, etc.)
***Section 3311.1; change to read as follows:
Section 3311.1 Required access. Approved vehicle access for firefighting and emergency response shall
be provided to all construction or demolition sites. Vehicle access shall be provided to within 100 50 feet
(30 480 15 240 mm) of temporary or permanent fire department connections. Vehicle access shall be
provided by either temporary or permanent roads, capable of supporting vehicle loading under all weather
conditions. Vehicle access shall be maintained until permanent fire apparatus access roads are available.
When fire apparatus access roads are required to be installed for any structure or development, access
shall be approved prior to the time which construction has progressed beyond completion of the foundation
of any structure. Whenever the connection is not visible to approaching fire apparatus, the fire department
connection shall be indicated by an approved sign.
(Reason: Improves access to the FDC where required, as well as coordinates with the timing of installation
amendment from Section 501.4.)
**Section 5601.1.3; change to read as follows:
5601.1.3 Fireworks. The possession, manufacture, storage, sale, handling, and use of fireworks are
prohibited.
Exceptions:
1. Only when approved for fireworks displays, the storage and handling of fireworks as allowed
in Section 5604 and 5608.
2. Manufacture, assembly and testing of fireworks as allowed in Section 5605.
3.2. The use of fireworks for approved fireworks displays as allowed in Section 5608.
4. The possession, storage, sale… {Delete remainder of text.}
(Reason: Restricts fireworks to approved displays only, which is consistent with regional practice. Such is
intended to help protect property owners and individuals from unintentional fireworks fires within the
jurisdiction, as well as to help protect individuals from fireworks injuries. It is noted that there has been a
change in the State Law to allow possession of unopened fireworks in certain areas of the vehicle, and it is
132
ORD 2022-18
highly recommended that AHJ’s familiarize themselves with the applicable State Laws in this regard.)
**Section 5703.6; add sentence to end of paragraph to read as follows:
An approved method of secondary containment shall be provided for underground tank and piping systems.
(Reason: Increased protection in response to underground leak problems and remediation difficulty in
underground applications. Coordinates with TCEQ requirements.)
**Section 5704.2.11.4; change to read as follows:
5704.2.11.4 Leak Prevention. Leak prevention for underground tanks shall comply with Sections
5704.2.11.4.1 and 5704.2.11.4.2 through 5704.2.11.4.3. An approved method of secondary containment
shall be provided for underground tank and piping systems.
(Reason: Increased protection in response to underground leak problems and remediation difficulty in
underground applications. Coordinates with TCEQ requirements.)
**Section 5704.2.11.4.2; change to read as follows:
5704.2.11.4.2 Leak Detection. Underground storage tank systems shall be provided with an approved
method of leak detection from any component of the system that is designed and installed in accordance
with NFPA 30 and as specified in Section 5704.2.11.4.3.
(Reason: Reference to IFC Section 5704.2.11.4.3 amendment.)
**Section 5704.2.11.4.3; add to read as follows:
5704.2.11.4.3 Observation Wells. Approved sampling tubes of a minimum 4 inches in diameter shall be
installed in the backfill material of each underground flammable or combustible liquid storage tank. The
tubes shall extend from a point 12 inches below the average grade of the excavation to ground level and
shall be provided with suitable surface access caps. Each tank site shall provide a sampling tube at the
corners of the excavation with a minimum of 4 tubes. Sampling tubes shall be placed in the product line
excavation within 10 feet of the tank excavation and one every 50 feet routed along product lines towards
the dispensers, a minimum of two are required.
(Reason: Provides an economical means of checking potential leaks at each tank site. This is long-standing
regional practice.)
**Section 5707.4; add paragraph to read as follows:
Mobile fueling sites shall be restricted to commercial, industrial, governmental, or manufacturing, where the
parking area having such operations is primarily intended for employee vehicles. Mobile fueling shall be
conducted for fleet fueling or employee vehicles only, not the general public. Commercial sites shall be
restricted to office-type or similar occupancies that are not primarily intended for use by the public.
(Reason: The general public does not expect a hazardous operation to be occurring in a typical parking lot
or for a fuel truck to be traversing such parking lot, temporarily fueling a vehicle, and moving on to the next
area in the parking lot to fuel the next vehicle. Vehicular accidents occur in parking lots on a regular basis,
but the presence of a fuel truck, especially one in the process of fueling a vehicle with gasoline, greatly
adds to the potential risk involved in such accidents. By restricting such operations to the occupancies in
question, the employees of the business may be adequately notified to expect such operations to occur in
the parking lot.)
**Section 6103.2.1.8; add to read as follows:
133
ORD 2022-18
6103.2.1.8 Jewelry Repair, Dental Labs and Similar Occupancies. Where natural gas service is not
available, portable LP-Gas containers are allowed to be used to supply approved torch assemblies or
similar appliances. Such containers shall not exceed 20-pound (9.0 kg) water capacity. Aggregate capacity
shall not exceed 60-pound (27.2 kg) water capacity. Each device shall be separated from other containers
by a distance of not less than 20 feet.
(Reason: To provide a consistent and reasonable means of regulating the use of portable LP-Gas
containers in these situations. Reduces the hazard presented by portable containers when natural gas is
already available. Please note that current State Law does not allow for the enforcement of any rules more
stringent than that adopted by the State, so this amendment is only applicable as to the extent allowed by
that State Law.)
**Section 6104.2; add Exception 2. to read as follows:
Exceptions:
1.{existing text unchanged}
2. Except as permitted in Sections 308 and 6104.3.3, LP-gas containers are not permitted in
residential areas.
(Reason: To provide a consistent and reasonable means of regulating the use LP-Gas containers. Reduces
the hazard presented by such containers when natural gas is already available. References regional
amendment to IFC 6104.3.3. Please note that current State Law does not allow for the enforcement of any
rules more stringent than that adopted by the State, so this amendment is only applicable as to the extent
allowed by that State Law.)
**Section 6104.3.3; add to read as follows:
6104.3.3 Spas, Pool Heaters, and Other Listed Devices. Where natural gas service is not available, an
LP-gas container is allowed to be used to supply spa and pool heaters or other listed devices. Such
container shall not exceed 250-gallon water capacity per lot. See Table 6104.3 for location of containers.
Exception: Lots where LP-gas can be off-loaded wholly on the property where the tank is located may
install up to 500 gallon above ground or 1,000 gallon underground approved containers.
(Reason: Allows for an alternate fuel source. Dwelling density must be considered and possibly factored
into zoning restrictions. Reduces the hazard presented by over-sized LP-Gas containers. Please note that
current State Law does not allow for the enforcement of any rules more stringent than that adopted by the
State, so this amendment is only applicable as to the extent allowed by that State Law.)
**Section 6107.4 and 6109.13; change to read as follows:
6107.4 Protecting Containers from Vehicles. Where exposed to vehicular damage due to proximity to
alleys, driveways or parking areas, LP-gas containers, regulators and piping shall be protected in
accordance with NFPA 58 Section 312.
6109.13 Protection of Containers. LP-gas containers shall be stored within a suitable enclosure or
otherwise protected against tampering. Vehicle impact protection shall be provided as required by Section
6107.4.
Exception:Vehicle impact protection shall not be required for protection of LP-gas containers
where the containers are kept in lockable, ventilated cabinets of metal construction.
(Reason: NFPA 58 does not provide substantial physical protection [it allows raised sidewalks, fencing,
ditches, parking bumpers as ‘vehicle barrier protection’] of the container(s) from vehicular impact as is
134
ORD 2022-18
required and has been required historically, as per Section 312, i.e. bollard protection. Further, the
exception to Section 6109.13 would allow for portable containers in ventilated metal cabinets to not require
any physical protection whatsoever from vehicular impact, regardless of the location of the containers.
Please note that current State Law does not allow for the enforcement of any rules more stringent than that
adopted by the State, so this amendment is only applicable as to the extent allowed by that State Law.)
**{Appendix B Fire-Flow Requirements For Buildings amendments}
**Table B105.2; change footnote a. to read as follows:
a. The reduced fire-flow shall be not less than 1,000 1,500 gallons per minute.
(Reason: The minimum fire-flow of 1,500 gpm for other than one- and two- family dwellings has existed
since the 2000 edition of the IFC, as well as the Uniform Fire Code before that. Little to no technical
justification was provided for the proposed code change at the code hearings. The board believes that the
already-allowed 75 percent reduction in required fire-flow for the provision of sprinkler protection is already
a significant trade-off. The minimum 1,500 gpm is not believed to be overly stringent for the vast majority
of public water works systems in this region, especially since it has existed as the requirement for so many
years. Further, the continued progression of trading off more and more requirements in the codes for the
provision of sprinkler protection has made these systems extremely operation-critical to the safety of the
occupants and properties in question. In other words, should the sprinkler system fail for any reason, the
fire-flow requirements drastically increase from that anticipated with a sprinkler-controlled fire scenario.)
***{Appendix D Fire Apparatus Access Roads amendments}
***Section D102.1; change to read as follows:
D102.1 Access and loading. Facilities, buildings or portions of buildings hereafter constructed shall be
accessible to fire department apparatus by way of an approved fire apparatus access road with an
asphalt, concrete or other approved driving surface capable of supporting the imposed load of fire
apparatus weighing up to 75,000 85,000 pounds (34 050 38 556 kg).
(Reason: To address the current size of fire trucks in use – figure derived from DOT requirements for
waiver of vehicle exceeding such weight and from current maximum weights of fire trucks being
purchased by jurisdictions in North Texas.)
***Section D103.4; change to read as follows:
D103.4 Dead ends. Dead-end fire apparatus access roads in excess of 150 feet (45 720 mm) shall be
provided with width and turnaround provisions in accordance with Table D103.4.

For SI: 1 foot = 304.8 mm.
(Reason: Reflects current increased apparatus access roadway widths as indicated in the recommended
amendment to 503.2.1.)
***Section D103.5; change Item 1 to read as follows:
D103.5 Fire apparatus access road gates. Gates securing the fire apparatus access roads shall
comply with all of the following criteria:
1. Where a single gate is provided, the gate width shall be not less than 20 24 feet (6096 7315.2
mm). Where a fire apparatus road consists of a divided roadway, the gate width shall be not
less than 12 feet (3658 mm).
(Reason: Reflects current increased apparatus access roadway widths as indicated in the recommended
amendment to 503.2.1.)
***Section D103.6; change to read as follows:
D103.6 Signs. Marking. Striping, signs, or other markings, when approved by the fire code official, shall
be provided for fire apparatus access roads to identify such roads or prohibit the obstruction thereof.
Striping, signs and other markings shall be maintained in a clean and legible condition at all times and be
replaced or repaired when necessary to provide adequate visibility.
(1) Striping – Fire apparatus access roads shall be continuously marked by painted lines of red traffic
paint six inches (6”) in width to show the boundaries of the lane. The words “NO PARKING FIRE LANE”
or "FIRE LANE NO PARKING” shall appear in four inch (4”) white letters at 25 feet intervals on the red
border markings along both sides of the fire lanes. Where a curb is available, the striping shall be on
the vertical face of the curb.
(2) Signs – Signs shall read “NO PARKING FIRE LANE” or "FIRE LANE NO PARKING” and shall be
12” wide and 18” high (See Figure D103.6). Signs shall have red letters on a white reflective
background, using not less than 2” lettering. Signs shall be permanently affixed to a stationary post
and the bottom of the sign shall be six feet, six inches (6’6”) above finished grade. Signs shall be
spaced not more than fifty feet (50’) apart along both sides of the fire lane. Signs may be installed on
permanent buildings or walls or as approved by the Fire Chief.
Where required by the fire code official, fire apparatus access roads shall be marked with permanent “NO
PARKING—FIRE LANE” signs complying with Figure D103.6, or other approved method. Signs shall
have a minimum dimension of 12 inches (305 mm) wide by 18 inches (457 mm) high and have red letters
on a white reflective background. Signs shall be posted on one or both sides of the fire apparatus road as
required by Section D103.6.1 or D103.6.2.

amendment to Section 503.3)
***Section D103.6.1 and D103.6.2; delete sections as follows:
D103.6.1Roads 20 to 26 feet in width. Fire lane signs as specified in Section D103.6 shall be posted
on both sides of fire apparatus access roads that are 20 to 26 feet wide (6096 to 7925 mm).
D103.6.2 Roads more than 26 feet in width. Fire lane signs as specified in Section D103.6 shall be
posted on one side of fire apparatus access roads more than 26 feet wide (7925 mm) and less than 32
feet wide (9754 mm).
(Reason: Reflects current markings for apparatus access roadways as indicated in the recommended
amendment to 503.3 and D103.6, which requires the signage on both sides of the fire apparatus access
roads, regardless of width)
***Section D104.3; change to read as follows:
D104.3 Remoteness. Where two fire apparatus access roads are required, they shall be placed a
distance apart equal to not less than one half of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of
the lot or area to be served, measured in a straight line between accesses, or as approved by the fire
code official.
(Reason: To provide some additional flexibility to the fire code official on the location of the two fire
apparatus access roads.)
***Section D105.3; change to read as follows:
D105.3 Proximity to building. Unless otherwise approved by the fire code official, one or more of the
required access routes meeting this condition shall be located not less than 15 feet (4572 mm) and not
greater than 30 feet (9144 mm) from the building, and shall be positioned parallel to one entire side of the
building. The side of the building on which the aerial fire apparatus access road is positioned shall
be approved by the fire code official.
(Reason: To provide some additional flexibility to the fire code official on the location of the aerial fire
apparatus access roads.)
***Section D106.3; change to read as follows:
D106.3 Remoteness. Where two fire apparatus access roads are required, they shall be placed a
distance apart equal to not less than one-half of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of

(Reason: To provide some additional flexibility to the fire code official on the location of the two fire
apparatus access roads.)
***Section D107.2; change to read as follows:
D107.2 Remoteness. Where two fire apparatus access roads are required, they shall be placed a
distance apart equal to not less than one-half of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of
the property or area to be served, measured in a straight line between accesses, or as approved by the
fire code official.
(Reason: To provide some additional flexibility to the fire code official on the location of the two fire
apparatus access roads.)
***{Appendix L Requirements For Fire Fighter Air Replenishment Systems amendments}
***Section L101.1; change to read as follows:
Section L101.1 Scope. Fire fighter air replenishment systems (FARS) shall be provided in accordance
with this appendix in new buildings when any of the following conditions occur:
1. Any new building 5 or more stories in height.
2. Any new building with 2 or more floors below grade.
3. Any new building 500,000 square feet or more in size.
Each stairwell shall have a supply riser. SCBA fill panels shall be located on odd numbered floors
commencing at the first level in the primary stairwell and on even numbered floors commencing at level 2
in the remaining stairwells. Fill panels in buildings over 500,000 square feet shall be located adjacent to
each standpipe connection.
The adopting ordinance shall specify building characteristics or special hazards that establish thresholds
triggering a requirement for the installation of a FARS. The requirement shall be based on the fire
department’s capability of replenishing fire fighter breathing air during sustained emergency operations.
Considerations shall include:
1. Building characteristics, such as number of stories above or below grade plane , floor area, type of
construction and fire-resistance of the primary structural frame to allow sustained fire-fighting operations
based on a rating of not less than 2 hours.
2. Special hazards, other than buildings, that require unique accommodations to allow the fire department
to replenish fire fighter breathing air.
3. Fire department staffing level.
4. Availability of a fire department breathing air replenishment vehicle.
(Reason: Breathing air is critical for firefighting operations. Historically, fire departments have supplied air
bottles by manually transporting air bottles up stairways or across long distances in a building, which is an
extraordinarily intensive process and takes firefighters away from their primary mission of rescue and
firefighting. The FARS technology in Appendix L exists to address this issue using in-building air supply
systems. Many jurisdictions in North Texas and across the country have already adopted this Appendix
and are enforcing and installing these systems to improve the life safety of firefighters and enhance their
firefighting capabilities in an emergency incident, which is one of the reasons for recommending this
Appendix for adoption – to ensure regional consistency, as well as to improve mutual emergency aid
among jurisdictions in North Texas.)
***Section L104.13.1; delete this section in its entirety.
(Reason: The amendment to Section L101.1 above addresses the location criteria for SCBA fill panels.)
138
ORD 2022-18
***Section L104.14; add paragraph to read as follows:
The external mobile air connection shall be located with approved separation from the Fire
Department Connection (FDC) to allow functionality of both devices by first responders; shall be
visible from and within 50 ft. of a fire apparatus access road along an unobstructed path; and
shall be located in an approved signed, secured cabinet.
(Reason: To accommodate the needs of first responders to be able to locate and utilize the required
connection to ensure air supply availability to this system, similar to the requirements of FDC’s.)

Exhibit “A”
Amendments to the 2021 International
Existing Building Code
**Section 102.4; change to read as follows:
[A] 102.4 Referenced codes and standards. The codes, when specifically adopted, and
standards referenced in this code shall be considered part of the requirements of this code to the
prescribed extent of each such reference and as further regulated in Sections 102.4.1 and
102.4.2. {No change to rest of section.}
(Reason: To not inadvertently adopt other codes (i.e., Wildland Urban Interface Code etc.…) by
reference.)
***Section 110.2; delete number 11 as follows:
11. Where an automatic sprinkler system is provided, and whether an automatic sprinkler
system is required.
(Reason: This has not been historically required on C.O.’s creating inconsistency and is not easily
implemented to modify C.O.’s, and is short sided in only identifying one fire protection system.
Further, the system must be maintained whether voluntarily installed or not.)
***Section 202; amend definition of Existing Building as follows:
Existing Building - A building, structure, or space with an approved final inspection issued under
a code edition which is at least 2 published code editions preceding the currently adopted building
code; a building, structure or space that is undergoing a change of occupancy or use. erected prior
to the date of adoption of the appropriate code, or one for which a legal building permit has been
issued.
***Section 202; amend definition of Existing Structure as follows:
Existing Structure- A building, structure, or space, with an approved final inspection issued
under a code edition which is at least 2 published code editions preceding the currently adopted
building code; a building, structure or space that is undergoing a change of occupancy or use.
erected prior to the date of adoption of the appropriate code, or one for which a legal building
permit has been issued.
(Reason: To prevent potential abuses in new construction and shell buildings.)
153
ORD 2022-20
***Section 306.1; add exceptions to read as follows:
Exceptions:
1.Components of projects regulated by and registered with Architectural Barriers
Division of Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shall be deemed to be
in compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
2.If the cost of the project is less than $50K, it must comply with ICC A117.1, or it
shall be reviewed and inspected to the Texas Accessibility Standards by a
Registered Accessibility Specialist.
(Reason: To coordinate with the IBC and State Law for accessibility.)
***Section 306.2; add exception to read as follows:
Exception: Projects subject to the Texas Accessibility Standards as adopted by the Texas
Department of Licensing and Regulation are exempt from this section. Projects with a valuation of
less than $50,000.00 (which are subject to the Texas Accessibility Standards) may be accepted as
equivalent to this section where reviewed and inspected to the Texas Accessibility Standards by a
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Registered Accessibility Specialist when a plan
review report and a compliant inspection report are provided to the building code official.
(Reason: To coordinate with the IBC and State Law for accessibility.)
***Section 306.5.1; add to read as follows:
306.5.1 Complete change of occupancy. Where an entire building undergoes a change of
occupancy, it shall comply with Section 305.4.1 and shall have all of the following accessible
features:
1. Not fewer than one accessible building entrance.
2. Not fewer than one accessible route from an accessible building entrance to primary
function areas.
3. Signage complying with Section 1111 of the International Building Code.
4. Accessible parking, where parking is being provided.
5. Not fewer than one accessible passenger loading zone, where loading zones are
provided.
6. Not fewer than one accessible route connecting accessible parking and accessible
passenger loading
zones to an accessible entrance.
7. At least one accessible family or assisted use toilet room shall be provided in
accordance with Chapter 11 of the International Building Code.
Where it is technically infeasible to comply with the new construction standards for any of these
requirements for a change of group or occupancy, Items 1 through 6 shall conform to the
requirements to the maximum extent technically feasible.
Exception: The accessible features listed in Items 1 through 6 are not required for an
accessible route to Type B units.
(Reason: Maintains legacy language from the 2018 IEBC to identify accessibility criteria for
changes of occupancy, and adds the required accessible toilet for disabled occupants, as per
previous 2018 IEBC amendments.)
**Section 401.3 Flood Hazard Areas; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
154
ORD 2022-20
**Section 405.2.6 Flood Hazard Areas; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
**Section 406.1; add a code reference to read as follows:
406.1 Material. Existing electrical wiring and equipment undergoing repair shall be allowed to
be repaired or replaced with like material, in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 70.
(Reason: To ensure compliance with the NEC relative to any electrical repairs/replacement.)
**Section 502.3 Flood Hazard Areas; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city)
***Section 503.2 Flood hazard areas; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city)
***Section 503.16; add exception to read as follows:
Exception: Compliance with the Texas Accessibility Standards is not considered
equivalent compliance for the purpose of enforcement of this code section.
(Reason: TAS does not address this criteria in their evaluation, and it is justifiably required for alterations in existing
buildings.)
**Section 504.1.2; change to read as follows:
504.1.2 Existing fire escapes. Existing fire escapes shall continue to be accepted as a
component in the means of egress in existing buildings only. Existing fire escapes shall be
permitted to be repaired or replaced.
(Reason: To add clarity and help reduce confusion associated with the amendment preventing new fire
escapes.)
**Section 504.1.3; delete this section:
504.1.3 New fire escapes. New fire escapes for existing buildings shall be permitted only
where exterior stairways cannot be utilized due to lot lines limiting stairway size or due to the
sidewalks, alleys, or roads at grade level. New fire escapes shall not incorporate ladders or
access by windows.
(Reason: To generally require a higher level of egress protection and consistent with regional practice.)
**Section 507.3 Flood Hazard Areas; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
155
ORD 2022-20
**Section 701.3 Flood Hazard Areas; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
***Section 702.4; add exception 2 to read as follows:
2. Operable windows with openings that are provided with window fall prevention devices that
comply with ASTM F2090.
(Reason: Maintains legacy language of the 2018 IFC to identify fall prevention devices as acceptable
alternate/exception.)
**Section 702.7; add a code reference to read as follows:
702.7 Materials and methods. All new work shall comply with the materials and methods requirements
in the International Building Code, International Energy Conservation Code, International Mechanical
Code, National Electrical Code, and International Plumbing Code, as applicable, that specify material
standards, detail of installation and connection, joints, penetrations, and continuity of any element,
component, or system in the building.
(Reason: To provide a more complete list of potentially adopted codes.)
**Section 802.5.1; change to read as follows:
802.5.1 Minimum requirement. Every portion of a floor, such as a balcony or a loading dock,
open-sided walking surfaces, including mezzanines, equipment platforms, aisles, stairs, ramps,
and landings that is more than 30 inches (762 mm) above the floor or grade below and is not
provided with guards, or those in which the existing guards are judged to be in danger of
collapsing, shall be provided with guards.
(Reason: To be consistent with Building Code requirements for guards and unsafe conditions.)
**Section 803.1; add sentence to read as follows:
For the purpose of fire sprinkler protection and fire alarm requirements included in this section,
the work area shall be extended to include at least the entire tenant space or spaces bounded by
walls capable of resisting the passage of smoke containing the subject work area, and if the work
area includes a corridor, hallway, or other exit access, then such corridor, hallway, or other exit
access shall be protected in its entirety on that particular floor level.
(Reason: The intent is to avoid work area protection that would result in partial sprinkler or fire alarm
protection. Partial sprinkler protection not delineated by walls would be a clear violation of NFPA 13
and would not allow the sprinkler to perform or function as intended. Also, partial fire alarm coverage
is a clear violation of the Fire Code, NFPA 72, and ADA.)
**Section 803.2.6; change exception to read as follows:
Exception: Supervision is not required where the Fire Code does not require such for new
construction. for the following:
1. Underground gate valve with roadway boxes.
2. Halogenated extinguishing systems.
156
ORD 2022-20
3. Carbon dioxide extinguishing systems.
4. Dry- and wet-chemical extinguishing systems.
5. Automatic sprinkler systems installed in accordance with NFPA 13R where a common
supply main is used to supply both domestic and automatic sprinkler systems and a
separate shutoff valve for the automatic sprinkler system is not provided.
(Reason: The published exceptions are over-reaching and will result in inconsistencies among
supervised protection systems and cause confusion for first responders as well.)
**Section 803.3; change section to read as follows:
803.3 Standpipes. Refer to Section 1103.6 of the Fire Code for retroactive standpipe requirements.
{Delete rest of Section 803.3.}
(Reason: The Fire Code already requires standpipes in these buildings (greater than 50 ft.) retroactively
in Section 1103.6. This new section would negate/lessen those retroactive provisions already
contained in the Fire Code.)
**Section 804.2; delete Exception #1 as follows:
Exceptions: 1. W here the work area and the means of egress serving it complies with NFPA101.
2. [Remain unchanged]
(Reason: NFPA 101 is not a commonly adopted code in the region and enforcement would be
problematic, especially due to contradictions with the requirements of the IBC.)
**Section 804.4.1.2; change to read as follows:
804.4.1.2 Fire Escapes required. For other than Group I-2, where more than one exit is
required, an existing or newly constructed fire escape complying with section 805.3.1.2.1
shall be accepted as providing one of the required means of egress.
(Reason: Higher level of safety by not allowing new fire escapes and consistent with regional practice.)
**Section 804.4.1.2.1; change to read as follows:
804.4.1.2.1 Fire Escape access and details - …
1. [Remain unchanged]
2.Access to a new fire escape shall be through a door...
3.Newly constructed fire escapes shall be permitted only where exterior stairways cannot
be utilized because of lot lines limiting the stairway size or because of the sidewalks,
alleys, or roads at grade level.
4.[Remain unchanged]
5. In all buildings of Group E occupancy up to and including the 12th grade, buildings
of Group I occupancy, rooming boarding houses, and childcare centers, ladders of
any type are prohibited on fire escapes used as a required means of egress.
(Reason: Higher level of safety by not allowing new fire escapes. Consistency with language and
defined term in IBC.)
157
ORD 2022-20
**Section 804.6.2 Transoms; add language to read as follows:
804.6.2 Transoms. In all buildings of Group B, E, I-1, I-2, R-1 and R-2 occupancies,
….[Remainder unchanged]
(Reason: Transom windows were historically a common practice in school buildings and each
jurisdiction should evaluate the impact on their stakeholders and their community with regards to this
section.)
**Section 904.1; add sentence to read as follows:
For the purpose of fire sprinkler protection and fire alarm requirements included in this section,
the work area shall be extended to include at least the entire tenant space or spaces bounded by
walls containing the subject work area, and if the work area includes a corridor, hallway, or
other exit access, then such corridor, hallway, or other exit access shall be protected in its
entirety on that particular floor level.
(Reason: The intent is to avoid work area protection that would result in partial sprinkler or fire alarm
protection. Partial sprinkler protection not delineated by walls would be a clear violation of NFPA 13
and the Fire Code and would not allow the sprinkler system to perform or function as intended. Also,
partial fire alarm coverage is a clear violation of the Fire Code, NFPA 72, and ADA.)
**Section 904.1.1; change to read as follows:
904.1.1 High-rise buildings. An automatic sprinkler system shall be provided in work areas of
where the high-rise buildings. has a sufficient municipal water supply for the design and
installation of an automatic sprinkler system at the site.
(Reason: Level 3 alterations are affecting more than 50% of the existing high-rise building, and as
such, sprinkler protection is more than justifiable, even when fire pumps, etc., are necessary. It is
noted that the work area method is one of three different methods available to the designer/owner in
the IEBC.)
***Section 1011.2.1: change to read as follows:
1011.2.1 Fire sprinkler system. Where a change in occupancy classification occurs or where there is a
change of occupancy within a space where there is a different fire protection system threshold
requirement in Chapter 9 of the International Building Code that requires an automatic fire sprinkler
system to be provided based on the new occupancy in accordance with Chapter 9 of the International
Building Code. The installation of the automatic sprinkler system shall be required within the area of the
change of occupancy and areas of the building not separated horizontally and vertically from the change
of occupancy by one of the following:
1. Nonrated permanent partition and horizontal assemblies.
2. Fire partition.
3. Smoke partition.
4. Smoke barrier.
5. Fire barrier, as required by Section 707 of the IBC.
6. Fire wall, as required by Section 706 of the IBC.
Exceptions: [Remain unchanged.]
158
ORD 2022-20
(Reason: Maintains legacy language requiring at least fire barrier separation between a newly sprinklered
more hazardous ‘change of occupancy’ from non-sprinklered existing occupancies, as is required for fire
area separation by the IBC.)
***Section 1102.2.1; add to read as follows:
1102.2.1 Fire Separations. Where fire separations are utilized to allow additions without
exceeding the allowable area provisions of Chapter 5 of the IBC for either the existing building or
the new addition, the decreased clear space where the two buildings adjoin shall be accounted for
in such calculation relative to the allowable frontage increase.
(Reason: This issue of evaluating allowable area for additions is commonly miscalculated due to
the above issue. This amendment provides clarification but is not more stringent than what is
currently required by the Building Code as to allowable area calculations.)
**Section 1103.3 Flood Hazard Areas; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
**Section 1201.4 Flood Hazard Areas; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
**Section 1301.3.2; change to read as follows:
1301.3.2 Compliance with other codes. Buildings that are evaluated in accordance with this
section
shall comply with the International Fire Code. and International Property Maintenance Code.
(Reason: NCTCOG does not currently recommend, nor review the IPMC for recommended
amendments at this time.)
**Section 1301.3.3 Compliance with Flood Hazard Provisions; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
**Section 1402.6 Flood Hazard Areas; delete this section.
(Reason: Flood hazard ordinances may be administered by other departments within the city.)
***Section 1509; delete Section 1509.1 through 1509.5 and add Section 1509.1 to read as follows:
1509.1 When required. An approved water supply for fire protection, either temporary or
permanent, shall be made available as soon as combustible material arrives on the site. The water
supply design and the timing of the water supply installation relative to building construction shall
comply with the adopted Fire Code.
(Reason: Maintains legacy language for the water supply and ensures adequate water supply as required
by the Fire Code for construction that is already well-established. The changes in the published 2021
IEBC drastically reduce the required water supply of the Fire Code without adequate or reasonable
justification.)

Re: Fiscal Year 2022 – Second Quarter Investment Report
Town Council Meeting, April 26, 2022
Agenda Item:
Consider and take appropriate action regarding the Second Quarter Investment Report for Fiscal
Year 2022 (W. Carroll).
Strategic Link:
Administrative & Financial Services – Exercise fiscal discipline in all Town operations.
Background and Explanation:
The Town’s current interest-bearing accounts have an ending market value of $26,108,397 as of
March 31, 2022, which is an increase of $2,479,194 since December 31, 2021. Property tax
revenue is collected primarily in the first and second quarters of the year. The portfolio is liquid
with a weighted average life of 1 days.
The total average yield for this quarter was 0.45% which is higher than the average rolling 6-
month Treasury-Bill yield of .36% for the same period.
A substantial portion of the Town’s investments remain placed in the InterBank Insured Cash
Sweep account to take advantage of the fund’s liquidity and the 0.45% yield.
Financial Considerations:
Interest earnings for this quarter total $17,037, this gives the Town a year-to-date interest
earning of $30,858 for Fiscal Year 2022.

INDIVIDUAL ITEMS
9. Review Future Agenda Items List. (W. Carroll)
Mr. Carroll noted that staff has selected Halff Associates for the design of the entryways. Staff is currently working on a
contract with Halff. We only received one reply to the sculptor RFQ. Halff Associates provided us with the names of a few
sculptors. Their pricing is in-line with prices we have previously received and since they are local we could go to their shops to
view the progress of the statues.
Mr. Carroll provided a new strategy map with the new Vision and Mission statements created at the January Council retreat,
and the new objectives that Directors worked on at their retreat in March. He explained that the new objectives are geared
toward the next 3-5 years and the objectives will be reassessed in about 3 years. Each department is now working on their
goals that correlate to these objectives. Teamwork will be very apparent as departmental goals can be linked to numerous
objectives and focus areas. Each department will submit between 3-5 major goals to Mr. Carroll by the end of April with 2-3
measures for each goal. We will monitor each measure to make sure they are pushing us toward the vision and mission set
forth.
The Veteran’s Memorial is still progressing. The plaques have been ordered and installation is expected on April 21st. The
sidewalk has been finished and we are still waiting on the final monument to be complete in about 3-4 months.
Mr. Carroll also noted that Council was seeking an ordinance to amend the ordinance for beer and wine sales. Town Attorney
David Dodd explained that the current ordinance states that you can’t sell alcohol in parks unless Council approves it or 172
March 22, 2022 Page 3 of 8

approves a policy for it. We could prepare a document that delegates approval to staff as part of the special events process
or would Council like to vote on it every time a permit is pulled for an event? Mayor Pro Tem Lamont agreed with option A.
Mr. Dodd said that he would draft an ordinance allowing the delegation to staff to approve alcohol sales at events.

Re: Approval of the Parkview Dr., & Lakeview Elementary Trails
Town Council Meeting, April 26, 2022
Agenda Item:
Take appropriate action to approve the procurement for improvements to the trail located
between Parkview Drive and Lakeview Elementary School to be completed by Manning Concrete
through an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the City of Grapevine, not to exceed the amount of
$250,000.
Background and Explanation:
According to Town records, the Town took ownership of the existing asphalt trails located
between Parkview Drive and Lakeview Elementary School in 2003. The trails measure to an
approximate 2,200 linear feet and consist of asphalt material. The trails are in desperate need of
repair as they currently pose severe degradation, large stressed cracks, tripping hazards and
three areas in which do not meet ADA compliance requirements. The largest portion of the trail
that does not meet ADA requirements, as identified in Exhibit “A”, has a significant slope in which
will be addressed during this project by constructing the appropriate design for it to meet ADA
requirements. Staff met with representatives from Teague Nall and Perkins (TNP) to discuss the
most effective way to move forward on the trail improvements. TNP provided staff with the
attached stamped engineered drawings in which were presented to Manning Concrete for
estimating purposes.
An estimate from Manning Concrete was received for this project in the amount of $224,699.56.
Exhibit “B” identifies the three trails that will be repaired by removing and disposing of the
existing asphalt material and replacing it with concrete. The project will be performed in three
phases as described in Exhibit “B” various portions of the trail system will be closed to the public,
however, staff will ensure appropriate communication will be provided to make Trophy Club
residents aware of the project. Staff anticipates completion of the project to be approximately
four (4) to six (6) weeks, barring inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances.
174

Financial Considerations:
Funding is available from Series 2021 Bond Proceeds, $4,500,00. The amount of $1,000,000 was
approved in the FY22 Capital Improvement Package for Parks Expenditures.

Re: Replacement of batting cages and lights at Independence Park West
Date: Town Council Meeting, April 26, 2022
Agenda Item:
Discuss and take action regarding a requisition for the procurement of the replacement of the
existing batting cages and lights at Independence Park West, paid to Playground Solutions and
NEMA 3, and costs split 50/50 with TCRYBA. (T. Jaramillo)
Strategic Link:
Improve the aesthetic and recreational value of the Town
Background and Explanation:
The current batting cages located at Independence Park West were installed in 2016; various
maintenance procedures to the batting cages were completed since they were installed,
however, in March of 2022, the batting cages were taken out of commission because they were
in disrepair due to their age. Per the Town’s current agreement with Trophy Club Roanoke Youth
Baseball Association (TCRYBA), staff is to meet with TCRYBA in March of each year to discuss
capital improvements and funding options for Independence Park. Staff met with TCRYBA
representatives, and it was agreed upon both parties to replace the existing batting cages and
lights at Independence Park West.
TCRYBA through the Independence Park signage sponsorship program agreed to fund fifty
percent of the total cost of the project and the Town will fund the remaining fifty percent. The
Town currently has approximately $350,000 available in Parkland Dedication Fund that can be
utilized toward the fifty percent of the batting cage project.
203
Page 2 of 3
Staff obtained three estimates to replace the batting cages and three estimates to replace the
light fixtures. Playground Solutions was selected to replace the batting cages; NEMA 3 was
selected to replace the light fixtures. Both vendors are part of the Buyboard and meet all bidding
qualifications. The bids are as follows:
Contractor Batting Cages Lowest Qualified Bidder
**Playground Solutions
Buyboard #592-19
$43,813.94
Americas Nationwide Netting $53,000.00
Precision Services $80,000
Electrical Contractor Light Replacement
**NEMA 3
Buyboard #592-19
$4,204.00
Dennis Services $5,963.00
Daniel Electric $8,002.52
Total $48,017.94
10% Contingency Total $52,819.94
** BuyBoard Vendor
Financial Considerations:
The procurement request is in the amount of $52,819.94 and includes a 10 percent
contingency.
There is approximately $350,000 available in Parkland Dedication Funds.
TCRYBA will split the cost with the Town by 50 percent, their cost would be $26,409.97;
the Town will be responsible for the remaining balance of $26,409.97.
Town will not move forward until payment received from TCRYBA in the amount of
$26,409.97.
Legal Review:
The Town Attorney has reviewed said item and concurs with staff’s recommendation contingent upon the
Town receiving payment from Trophy Club Roanoke Youth Baseball Association in the amount of
$26,409.97 prior to the commencement of the batting cages replacement project.
Board/Commission/ or Committee Recommendation:
Staff met with the Parks and Recreation Board on April 18, 2022; the Board unanimously
recommended to move forward with presenting the replacement of the batting cages to
Council.
204
Page 3 of 3
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends replacing the batting cages at Independence Park West by utilizing Parkland
Dedication Funds and splitting the cost by fifty percent with Trophy Club Roanoke Youth
Baseball Association in a not to exceed amount of $52,819.94.

Re: Approval of Junction Way Improvements
Town Council Meeting, April 26, 2022
Agenda Item:
Take appropriate action to approve the expenditure of $352,650 paid to Manning and Home Run
Construction for the extension of Junction Way as required by the Agreement regarding Real
Property Matters between the Town of Trophy Club and the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District
No. 1 and improvements to the parking area around the Parks Barn. Trophy Club MUD 1 will
contribute $83,498 to fund the project. If approved, a budget amendment appropriating the
funds for this project will be brought before Council by the end of the fiscal year.
Background and Explanation:
Junction Way is located on the East side of town near the end of Indian Creek Drive. The concrete
road ends as shown on Exhibit B followed by gravel material, traveling past the Trophy Club
Country Club Maintenance Facility, the Parks and Streets Department Maintenance Facility and
leading to the entrance of the MUD #1 Water Treatment Facility. On July 30, 2020, the Town of
Trophy Club signed a property exchange agreement in which the Town and MUD agreed to split
the cost of extending Junction Way from its current end to the water treatment facility which
would improve the stability of the roadway when driving heavy equipment in and out of both
facilities. Staff met with Teague, Nall and Perkins representatives to discuss the various
improvement opportunities at this location. Staff met with the MUD GM Alan Fourmentin and
Trophy Club Country Club GM Tim Rowe to discuss the project. The Country Club did not choose
to participate in the funding of the project and the MUD will bring the project forward at their
next MUD Board Meeting in May. The Town is requesting that improvements be made at this
time to lower future costs of improving the Parks and Streets Maintenance Facility by adding
additional concrete for parking heavy equipment and trailers, adding a motorized gate for added
security and convenience, and an enclosed space for the roll-off dumpster at the facility. The
elements are identified in Exhibit B.

The agreement with the MUD was to split the cost of extending the roadway and therefore that
part of the project will be divided equally while the remainder of the project improving the Parks
and Street Maintenance Facility will be funded by the Town. Exhibit details the area designated
to be split with the MUD and the area fully funded by the Town.
An estimate from Manning Concrete was received for this project in the amount of $326,250.00.
The Town is working with Manning Concrete through an Interlocal Agreement with the City of
Grapevine.
Three estimates were obtained for the gate installation, the lowest qualified bidder is Home Run
Construction; their estimate is in the amount of $17,800.00. A 2.5% contingency will be included
on the purchase orders for a total project of $352,650.
Financial Considerations:
Funding is available with the Series 2021 bond proceeds. If approved, a budget amendment
appropriating these funds will be brought before Council by the end of the fiscal year.
Legal Review:
The Town Attorney has reviewed the Property Exchange Agreement and concurs with the split
of the costs with the MUD for the roadway only.
Board/Commission/ or Committee Recommendation:
Not applicable
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Junction Way Improvements for a not to exceed amount of
$352,650.00, this amount includes the 2.5 percent contingency.

Future Agenda Items
April 26, 2022
Future Agenda Items will be divided into 3 Categories:
1) Current listing of all future agenda items requested by Council that have not been addressed.
2) Items that have been researched and are scheduled for a report to Council (first 2-4 weeks).
3) Items that Council has requested additional research/staff time on and will be brought back for public
discussion at a Council Meeting. Council will be provided updates on items that require significant time.
The Future Agenda Items list will be placed on the Council Meeting agenda to provide a status on all items. The
current list will be reviewed and as items are completed; said items will be removed. The Council may add items as
needed to the list.
1) Receive an update regarding Entryway Monumentation/Landscaping for the Town of Trophy Club.
Staff is preparing a contract for landscape design services from Halff Associates. They
expect the design phase to take 14 weeks.
Staff has reached out to two more bronze artists that were recommended by Halff in
the hopes that we can retain more than one artist to complete the statues for the 4
entrances. Both artists are eager to work on the project. All 3 artists have submitted
comparable time frames to complete 1 statue. One of the newest artists is somewhat
higher on a lifesize statue, but all are in the same price range for an 8’ statue. The two
new artists are both in North Texas that would allow us to visit the studio to monitor
progress and changes.
2) Develop a Strategic Plan for the Town addressing future goals with budgetary needs for each department.
The Director’s Retreat went very well. Staff developed new objectives for each focus
area and they are working on their departmental goals which are due by April 29th.
Their goals should encompass immediate, short term and long term projects.
3) Modifying the Existing Veteran’s Memorial to include “Space Force”.
The new Space Force plaque was added to the Veteran’s Memorial. Work is
complete. It will be a few months until the MIA-POW obelisk is received.
4) Placement of Ordinance providing for the Sale of Beer & Wine at Trophy Club Parks.
Town Attorney/Town Manager will provide input relating to said item.
