(A) Approved automatic sprinkler systems are required in all new buildings and structures except detached garages and sheds and except that, in single-family residential structures, N.F.P.A. 13D requirements for automatic sprinklers are amended to provide that bathrooms of less than 80 square feet and closets of less than 55 square feet are not required to have sprinklers. Provide for at least one dry sprinkler head in any attached garage.
(B) Should an addition of 75% or more of the floor area of the original single family residential building install automatic sprinklers in any part of the existing building which shares a common wall or common floor/ceiling with the addition, the primary resident will qualify for an incentive of 50% of the total cost of the purchase and installation of the automatic fire sprinkler system up to a maximum of $3,000. The resident will need to provide a copy of their tax bill showing principle residency and proof that three quotes were obtained to the City Administrator in order to qualify for the incentive.
(C) Any single family home that installs automatic sprinkler heads will qualify for an incentive of $100 per head with a maximum incentive of $300. Proof of a paid bill and proof of an inspection by the city's Building Department will need to be provided to qualify for the incentive.
(D) Retro-fit of any existing assembly occupancies of Class A-2 of the lounge, nightclub, restaurants, taverns, bars and banquets halls that have an occupancy of 200 or more and live entertainment are required to install automatic sprinklers within two years of passage of this subchapter. A change in ownership does not relieve the responsibility of this requirement.
(E) (1) All manufactured homes, commonly known as mobile homes, trailers, installed from the date of passage of these amendments shall have automatic sprinklers installed.
(2) This would include any new or used units.
