AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHUBBUCK, IDAHO, ADDING CHAPTER
15.52 TO THE CHUBBUCK MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT NFPA 230 (1999
EDITION), FIRE PROTECTION OF STORAGE, AUTHORIZING THE FIRE CHIEF
OR THE CHIEF'S DESIGNEE TO IMPLEMENT AND ENFORCE NFPA 230;
PROVIDING EXISTING USES HAVE TWO YEARS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE
OF THIS ORDINANCE TO IMPLEMENT ANY NECESSARY STRUCTURAL OR
INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES; PROVIDING THAT EXISTING USES SHALL BE
IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF NFPA 230 BY MARCH 1,
2000, UNLESS GRANTED AN EXTENSION; REPEALING PRIOR CONFLICTING
ORDINANCES; PROVIDING FOR THE SEVERABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS ORDINANCE; AND PROVIDING WHEN THIS ORDINANCE SHALL
BECOME EFFECTIVE.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHUBBUCK, IDAHO:
Section 1. Intent. The Uniform Codes previously adopted by the City and Title 15 do
not adequately address the storage of forest products such as lumber, railroad ties, logs, chips,
and other such materials. Such materials are or have been stored in the city from time to time and
represent a significant fire threat if not stored in a safe manner. NFPA 230, Fire Protection of
Storage and certain appendices as promulgated by the National Fire Protection Agency in its 1999
edition sets forth a comprehensive and practical guideline for the storage of such products. While
it would be a burden to existing uses to require immediate compliance, particularly with respect to
significant structural or infrastructure changes such as roads or other such items, compliance with
those provisions is necessary and the council believes a two-year time period would be reasonable
for such compliance. Non-structural changes such as housekeeping practices, maintenance
practices and the general clean-up provisions set forth in NFPA 230 do not require significant
out-of-pocket costs and are necessary to implement much sooner to prevent a hazard to the
citizens of Chubbuck and the general public.
