10 by ADDING Section 15-28-45 and REPEALING Section .5-7-11 of the
Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, as they relate
to the adoption and amendment of Appendix Chapter 13 of the

interest of preserving the life and safety of its inhabitants
residing in multi-story and multi-dwelling units of older exist-
ing buildings which do not comply with life/fire safety require-

necessary to strengthen the life/fire safety codes of Appendix

lives and property in fires in existing multi-family apartment
buildings, demonstrates that certain exceptions to said Appendix

safety, such exceptions shall he deleted effective in January 1,
1981, and said ordinances shall then expire and be repealed by
operation of their own terms; and
WHEREAS, this Board intends that there will he a period of
transition during which buildings in various stages of compliance
with existing provisions of said Chapter 13 may be brought into
compliance by January 1, 1981, without fear of prosecution or
closure because of new substantive changes in Section 1313(f) or
1313(i) and the addition of new provisions in 1313(o) and 1314 of
said Chapter; and
WHEREAS, this Board does intend immediately to use appro-
priate legal action including prosection, closure or other in-
junctive relief to obtain compliance to Chapter 13 provisions as
they have been previously adopted by City ordinance and to inform
and to encourage building owners to bring nonconforming struc-
tures into compliance with new provisions contained in this
ordinance to avoid abrupt closure or action in 1981.

provisions which are merely restatements of prior
existing ordinances shall be effective immediately

(k), (1), (m) and (n). All structures in noncom-
pliance with said provisions together with the
provisions of Sections 5-7-7, 5-7-8, 5-7-9 which
were existing as of the passage of this ordinance

into compliance with said provisions immediately or
be subject to closure, vacation and prosecution.
(2) New provisions effective January 1, 1981. New

(3) Transition period for changed provisions.

that they were in compliance with the provisions of
said Sections 5-7-8 and 5-7-9, shall have until.

new amended provisions found in subsections
below. Buildings not in compliance with (f) or (i)

tions of the building except bedrooms, apartments,
and rooms accessory thereto.

floor be within each stairway enclosure, provided
that these doors are one and three-quarter inch (1-

alternate equivalent method or exception to the fire
protection and safety requirments of this Section may he

of the Fire Department, finds that such alternate method
provides protection and safety equivalent to that re-
quired herein.
(n) Minimum not maximum standards. Requirements of
this Section 1313 are deemed minimum requirements and if

building in question is otherwise unsafe, and does not
