SUMMARY. This Ordinance revises existing requirements concerning minimum security standards to be used in the design, construction and maintenance of buildings and the quality of materials used therein to promote public welfare and safeguard property. The amendments consist primarily of language clarifica- tions, expansions of definitions or minor word additions or changes. The most significant changes to the security standards are as follows: a) Section 15.48.040 C. is added and states, "Any existing commercial structure which converts from a primarily single-tenant building to a multiple-tenant structure, with walls separating tenant spaces, shall comply with the provisions of this Chapter. Most single tenant build- ings are not designed for more than one tenant,' especially in regards to separation of spaces, lighting, circulation, addressing, etc. This section will allow review prior to conversion to address multi-tenant problems adequately. b) Section 15.48.070 F.3 is added and states, "Multiple tenant office and commercial buildings shall have floor to floor demising walls or security barriers separating individual tenant areas, to prevent entry of adjacent space over the top of the divider." c) Section 15.48.070 1.5 has been expanded to require different types of alarm applications in multiple-tenant commercial buildings, dependent upon whether the tenants use one main building entrance, or have their own exterior entrances and exists. It additionally specifies that all alarm installers and alarm companies must possess all required State and City licenses to operate. d) Section 15.48.085 has been expanded to include the conditioning of highly complicated or special projects by the City Council during specific and precise plan processes consistent with current use permit processes of the Planning Commission. e) Section 15.48.120 has been modified to more clearly make the tenant respon- sible for certain security measures in non-residential buildings. The following statement of clarification has been added to differentiate between owner/tenant responsibilty, "security items that will remain on the premises after a tenant moves out are typically the responsibility of the property owners; systems that are removed upon the vacation of premises, such as an alarm system, are generally the responsibility of the tenant." 36933.
