AB 511 — California State University, Fresno: fire building protection standards.

Summary

Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal, in consultation with the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection and the Director of Housing and Community Development, to propose fire protection building standards for roofs, exterior walls, structure projections, and structure openings, as specified. Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to enforce regulations adopted by him or her and building standards relating to fire and panic safety published in the California Building Standards Code in all state-owned buildings, state-occupied buildings, and state institutions throughout the state. Existing law establishes the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. The California State University comprises 23 institutions of higher education, including California State University, Fresno, which is also known as Fresno State. This bill would provide that the State Fire Marshal shall have no authority over, and that building standards and regulations adopted or enforced by him or her shall not apply to, any privately owned development of a building, including related improvements to that building, for the purpose of fire or life safety activities, other safety-related activities, plan checks, or inspections, located at Fresno State's Campus Pointe. This provision would only apply if the owner of that building, or the owner of related improvements to that building, enters into an agreement with the City of Fresno for the city's fire department to perform fire and life safety activities, other safety-related activities, plan checks, and inspections of the development. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for California State University, Fresno.
