REGULAR MEETING
3. Invocation, Pledge of Allegiance and Pledge to the Texas Flag.
Pastor Kerry Carothers led the invocation. The Pledge of Allegiance and the Pledge
to the Texas Flag were recited.
4. Announcements of upcoming events.
Mayor Pro-Tem Miller made the following announcements:
Prosper residents are encouraged to complete an online survey to assist the Town in
updating its Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan. The survey includes
questions about resident preferences on park usage, park facilities, and recreational
opportunities. The survey is available on the Town’s website through Friday, July 11.
Please contact Paul Naughton, Landscape Architect, for more information.
Applications for the Town’s Boards and Commissions will be accepted through
Friday, August 1st. Applications are available at Town Hall, the Community Library,
and the Town’s website. Descriptions of the various Town Boards and their eligibility
requirements are available on the Town’s website or by contacting Robyn Battle,
Town Secretary.
TxDOT and Mario Sinacola continue to work on completing the necessary items to
allow for the opening of the new northbound pavement Thursday night, July 10. Once
traffic is switched, those traveling southbound on Preston Road should anticipate
minor delays Friday and Saturday as crews begin applying the permanent pavement
markings. Motorists are urged to use caution as southbound lanes will be shifted
during this time to facilitate the completion of the new striping Saturday evening.
The Town is also working diligently on improvements to many of the Town’s existing
roadways. First Street, from the Dallas North Tollway to Coleman Road, is
anticipated to be complete and opened to two-way traffic by the end of this week.
Once complete, the contractor will begin the asphalt improvements on Coleman Road
in front of Reynolds Middle School which should take approximately a week to
complete. This work will be constructed with the use of a rolling closure instead of the
one-way traffic method used on First Street. Flag men will be present to maintain
traffic in each direction during construction. Expect delays and try to use alternate
routes. Coit Road, from First Street to Frontier Parkway, is making progress. The
section from First Street to Prosper Trail is nearing completion of being mixed,
compacted and graded for preparation of the final asphalt overlay to be placed next
week. The section of Coit Road from Prosper Trail to Frontier Parkway will begin the
week of July 21 and take approximately three weeks to complete. First Street, from
Church Street to Craig Street, is also under construction and a new concrete surface,
which will replace the existing asphalt, will begin being placed next week. This work
is expected to be complete by the end of July. And lastly, the repaving in the Rhea
Mills subdivision has begun with the removal of the existing concrete pavement. New
concrete will replace the existing pavement and the entire project will take
approximately four months to complete. Motorists are urged to adhere to the traffic
control in place during these projects as many of the roads under construction are
one-way during the project.

(CC)
Chris Copple, Development Services Director, presented this item before the Town
Council. This item had been tabled at the June 24, 2014, Town Council meeting, at
the request of the applicant. The proposed Planned Development-Retail (PD-R)
district allows for the development of a retail shopping center anchored by a big box
building. Mr. Copple compared the proposed PD-R to the straight Retail zoning
district, and explained the standards that varied from straight zoning. After the Town
Council Packet was posted, four letters were submitted from property owners within
200’ of the subject property, withdrawing their opposition to the request. The property
owners in opposition to the request within 200’ of the subject property now represent
an area less that 20% of the surrounding land area. The Planning & Zoning
Commission recommended the Council deny the request at their June 3 meeting;
however, at that time, the request did not conform to the Future Land Use Plan
(FLUP). The Town Council approved an amendment to the FLUP on June 10, 2014.
The Town’s Zoning Ordinance states that a proposal denied by the Planning &
Zoning Commission shall not be forwarded to the Town Council unless the applicant
requests an appeal, which the applicant has submitted. Town staff recommended
approval of the request.
Donald Silverman, the developer for the proposed project, addressed the Council.
The project developers have worked with the adjacent residents to address concerns
regarding landscaping and architectural features that make the project more
appealing. Mr. Silverman reviewed some of the features of the PD, the Planned
Development Standards, the building materials, and responded to questions from the
Town Council on landscaping and open space. Upon a request from Council, Mr.
Item 5a

Chris Copple, Development Services Director, presented this item before the Town
Council. The property is currently zoned Single Family-15. The proposed Planned
Development-Single Family/Retail district would allow for the development of single
family residential lots, and retail uses at the southeast corner of Dallas Parkway and
Frontier Parkway. Mr. Copple reviewed the standards that vary from straight Single
Family-15 zoning. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the
request subject to revisions to the list of permitted uses, and limiting Single Family-10
lots to within 300 feet of the southern and eastern sides of Tract 2. The applicant has
agreed to revise the list of permitted uses only. Town staff recommends approval of
the request. Mr. Copple responded to questions regarding density and permitted
uses in other areas along the Dallas Tollway area. Frank Abbott with Kimley-Horn,
representing the applicant, was present respond to questions from the Town Council.
The applicant was generally in agreement with staff’s recommendations, but Mr.
Abbott further explained their request for the proposed density. The applicant’s intent
is to provide a variety of lot sizes while maintaining the overall desired density for the
location.

To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Kent R. Austin, Finance Director
Through: Harlan Jefferson, Town Manager
Re: Town Council meeting — July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon an ordinance repealing the application of the exemption from local sales
and use taxes on receipts from the sale of telecommunications services within the Town of
Prosper, Texas.
Description of Agenda Item:
Section 321.210 of the Texas Tax Code exempts telecommunications service from local sales
taxes, unless the municipality chooses to repeal the exemption and “opt-in” to levy the tax. This
places telecom services in the same category as many current taxable goods, like clothing,
building materials, sporting goods, and restaurant meals.
Over time, many north Texas cities have repealed the telecom exemption to realize increased
sales tax revenue. Of the 11 cities in Prosper’s survey group, 10 have repealed the exemption:
Repeal
Survey City Y / N Effective
1. Allen Y Apr-89
2. Colleyville Y Jan-89
3. Coppell Y Jan-92
4. Fairview Y Feb-05
5. Frisco Y Jan-90
6. Highland Park Y Apr-87
7. McKinney Y Apr-87
8. Plano Y Apr-87
9. Richardson Y Jan-91
10. Southlake N ---
11. University Park Y Apr-87
If Prosper repeals the telecommunications sales tax exemption, the resulting tax revenue would
flow to both the Town and the Prosper Economic Development Corporation (PEDC). For
Prosper, the projected increase in revenue will help offset the cost of adding firefighters to staff
the Windsong Ranch fire station. The station is expected to become operational around August
2015. Also, repeal of the exemption is consistent with the discussion held during the January
2014 strategic planning meeting.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
FINANCE
Item 5b
Page 2 of 2
Budget Impact:
The increase in revenue is projected to be $108,000, based on 3,000 households paying
$3/month for 12 months. The additional annual revenue would be divided 25% to the PEDC
($27,000) and 75% to the Town ($81,000).
Legal Obligations and Review:
Terrence Welch of Brown & Hofmeister, LLP, prepared the ordinance.
Attached Documents:
1. Ordinance
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends approval of the ordinance repealing the exemption from sales tax on
telecommunications services.
Recommended Motion:
I move to approve the ordinance repealing the application of the exemption from local sales and
use taxes on receipts from the sale of telecommunications services within the Town of Prosper,
Texas.

[2] In February $3 million was added to the Sewer Department budget, utilizing reserves to cash finance
part of the Town's share of Upper Trinity's Doe Branch Wastewater Treatment Facility. This is why
the Fund's expenditure budget is so much higher than its revenue budget.
In April, the entry was made to transfer the $3,000,000 to Capital Projects for the cash financing.
Water revenue is cyclical and typically lags budget at this time of year, as shown in the chart below. Water
revenue one year ago at this time totaled $3,500,609. On average, 53% of water sales occur during June‐
September.

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Water Improvement
Development Agreement between Prosper Partners, LP, and the Town of Prosper, Texas, related
to the extension of water lines to serve the Parks at Legacy development.
Description of Agenda Item:
Prosper Partners, LP, is developing the Parks at Legacy and in order to facilitate the development,
they are required to extend a 20” water line from the intersection of Teel Parkway and Fishtrap
Road approximately 6,000 feet east along Fishtrap Road to the eastern edge of their development.
In addition, approximately 2,000 feet of a 16” water line will be extended from US 380, along the
proposed Legacy Drive to the proposed intersection of Legacy Drive and Prairie Drive. The
proposed water lines are depicted on the Town of Prosper Water System Capital Improvement
Plan and the estimated cost for the design and construction of the two water lines is approximately
$970,390.
Since the proposed water lines are depicted on the Town of Prosper Water System Capital
Improvement Plan, the actual costs for the design and construction of the improvements are
eligible for water impact fee credits and/or reimbursement. The purpose of the Development
Agreement is to outline the obligations of both the Town of Prosper and Prosper Partners, LP,
related to the design, construction, credit and reimbursement of collected water impact fees to fund
the project.
Budget Impact:
The estimated cost for the design and construction of the extension of approximately 6,000 feet of
a 20” water line and approximately 2,000 feet of a 16” water line is approximately $970,390. Per
the terms of an existing Water and Sewer Development Agreement between the Town of Prosper,
Forest City Prosper Limited Partnership and Prosper Partners, LP, the water impact fees collected
with the Parks at Legacy development will be credited first towards that agreement. Once the
reimbursement obligations of that agreement are met, any water impact fees collected within the
service area depicted in this agreement will be paid to Prosper Partners, LP, to reimbursement for
the extension of the water lines associated with the Parks at Legacy development. If after ten
years there still exists a balance of reimbursements due, the Town will reimburse Prosper Partners,
LP, from applicable funds.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.

Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to execute a Water
Improvement Development Agreement between Prosper Partners, LP, and the Town of Prosper,
Texas, related to the extension of water lines to serve the Parks at Legacy development.
Proposed Motion:
I move to authorize the Town Manager to execute a Water Improvement Development Agreement
between Prosper Partners, LP, and the Town of Prosper, Texas, related to the extension of water
lines to serve the Parks at Legacy development.

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Thoroughfare Improvement
Development Agreement between Prosper Partners, LP, and the Town of Prosper, Texas, related
to the extension of roadways to serve the Parks at Legacy development.
Description of Agenda Item:
Prosper Partners, LP, is developing the Parks at Legacy and in order to facilitate the development,
they are proposing to construct the eastern two lanes of Legacy Drive from US 380 to the
intersection with proposed Prairie Drive, and the northern two lanes of Prairie Drive from the
western boundary of the Parks at Legacy development to the intersection with proposed Legacy
Drive. Legacy Drive is depicted on the Town of Prosper Thoroughfare Plan as an ultimate six-lane
divided thoroughfare and Prairie Drive as an ultimate four-lane divided thoroughfare. The
estimated cost for the design and construction of the two roadways is approximately $2,012,906.
Since the proposed roadways are depicted on the Town of Prosper Thoroughfare Plan, the actual
costs for the design and construction of the improvements are eligible for thoroughfare impact fee
credits and/or reimbursement. The purpose of the Development Agreement is to outline the
obligations of both the Town of Prosper and Prosper Partners, LP, related to the design,
construction, credit and reimbursement of collected thoroughfare impact fees to fund the project.
Budget Impact:
The estimated cost for the design and construction of the eastern two lanes of Legacy Drive from
US 380 to the intersection with proposed Prairie Drive, and the northern two lanes of Prairie Drive
from the western boundary of the Parks at Legacy development to the intersection with proposed
Legacy Drive, is approximately $2,012,906. Per the terms in the Development Agreement, the
thoroughfare impact fees collected with the Parks at Legacy development will be reimbursed to
Prosper Partners, LP, towards the actual costs of the improvements. Since the anticipated costs of
the roadways will exceed the reimbursements from the Parks at Legacy, the Town will also provide
reimbursements from thoroughfare impact fees collected within the service area. If after ten years
there still exists a balance of reimbursements due, the Town will reimburse Prosper Partners, LP,
from applicable funds.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.

2. Thoroughfare Improvement Development Agreement
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to execute a
Thoroughfare Improvement Development Agreement between Prosper Partners, LP, and the Town
of Prosper, Texas, related to the extension of roadways to serve the Parks at Legacy development.
Proposed Motion:
I move to authorize the Town Manager to execute a Thoroughfare Improvement Development
Agreement between Prosper Partners, LP, and the Town of Prosper, Texas, related to the
extension of roadways to serve the Parks at Legacy development.

geographic boundary that separates the area of interest from other parcels.
Plats and/or site plans submitted for the development of the PD District shall conform to
the data presented and approved on the Conceptual Development Plan. Changes of
detail on these final development plan(s) that differ from the Conceptual Development
Plan may be authorized by the Planning & Zoning Commission, with their approval of the
final development plan(s) and without public hearing, if the proposed changes do not:
1. alter the basic relationship of the proposed development to adjacent property,
2. alter the uses permitted,
3. increase the density,
4. increase the building height,
5. increase the coverage of the site,
6. reduce the off-street parking ratio,
7. reduce the building lines provided at the boundary of the site, or
8. significantly alter any open space plans
If the Director of Development Services or the Planning & Zoning Commission determines that
the proposed changes(s) violates one (1) or more of the above eight (8) criteria, then a public
hearing shall be held to adequately amend the Conceptual Development Plan that is attached to
the PD District’s granting ordinance prior to the Planning & Zoning Commission’s approval of the
final development plan(s).
Item 5i
Exhibit E for Z14-0006
Development Schedule
The development schedule will be influenced by actual market conditions. It is believed the single family
residential development will occur in the next 2 to 3 years and will likely be an extension of the ongoing
residential development to the south. The retail/office development will likely occur once the future
improvements to Frontier Pkwy and the Dallas North Tollway are underway and/or completed.

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon approval of a resolution concerning the construction of a grade separated
crossing on Frontier Parkway over the BNSF Railroad.
Description of Agenda Item:
The City of Celina, Town of Prosper, Collin County and the North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG) have been in discussions concerning the construction of a grade
separated crossing on Frontier Parkway over the BNSF Railroad. As part of the 2007 Collin
County Bond Election, 50% matching funds were awarded to the City of Celina for the construction
of six lanes of Frontier Parkway from the Dallas North Tollway to Preston Road (SH 289). In
meetings between the Town of Prosper and previous management of the City of Celina, the two
municipalities evaluated the incorporation of a grade separated crossing at the BNSF Railroad.
Funding participation for the grade separated crossing at the BNSF Railroad was included in the
Town of Prosper 2011 Bond Committee’s list of projects and was based on the cost difference of
constructing a six-lane divided thoroughfare with a grade crossing at the BNSF Railroad versus
constructing a four-lane divided thoroughfare with a grade separated crossing.
While the existing traffic counts do not warrant a grade separated crossing at this time, the Town of
Prosper is still supportive of the grade separated crossing due to the impact future growth will have
on this intersection. The grade separated crossing would allow for improved regional traffic access
from the Dallas North Tollway to Preston Road (SH 289) and even further east to US Highway 75
as the surrounding municipalities develop along the Frontier Parkway/FM 1461 corridor. It would
also provide a safe crossing for pedestrians, vehicles and Town emergency personnel.
A copy of the Town of Prosper Thoroughfare Plan is attached and depicts a grade separated
crossing at this location.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Terrence Welch of Brown & Hofmeister, L.L.P., has reviewed the resolution as to form and legality.

TOWN OF PROSPER, TEXAS RESOLUTION NO. 14-__
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF PROSPER,
TEXAS, SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GRADE SEPARATED
CROSSING ON FRONTIER PARKWAY OVER THE BNSF RAILROAD;
MAKING FINDINGS; AUTHORIZING THE TOWN SECRETARY TO FORWARD
THIS RESOLUTION TO THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF
GOVERNMENTS, COLLIN COUNTY AND THE CITY OF CELINA; AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, since at least 2007, the Town Council of the Town of Prosper, Texas
(“Town Council”), has thoroughly and repeatedly reviewed the feasibility of a grade separated
crossing on Frontier Parkway over the BNSF Railroad; and
WHEREAS, Prosper has already acquired much of the necessary right-of-way within its
incorporated limits to facilitate the construction of a grade separated crossing on Frontier
Parkway over the BNSF Railroad based on information provided by the City of Celina’s design
engineer; and
WHEREAS, a grade separated crossing on Frontier Parkway over the BNSF Railroad
was included in the Town of Prosper 2011 Bond Committee’s list of projects and the cost
estimate for the project was based on the cost differential, provided by the City of Celina’s
design engineer, of constructing a six-lane divided thoroughfare with a grade crossing at the
BNSF Railroad versus the construction of a four-lane divided thoroughfare with a grade
separated crossing; and
WHEREAS, the ultimate purpose of local government is to protect its citizens from
danger and harm; and
WHEREAS, it is clear and unequivocal that a grade separated crossing over an existing,
frequently-utilized railroad track will enhance safety for pedestrians, vehicles, the traveling
public and Town emergency vehicles; and
WHEREAS, with the rapid population increase experienced in both Prosper, Celina, and
other nearby areas in Collin County, the need for such a grade separated crossing only
intensifies; and
WHEREAS, a grade separated crossing on Frontier Parkway over the BNSF Railroad
will enhance and improve regional traffic access and flow from the Dallas North Tollway to
Preston Road (SH 289) and on to US Highway 75; and
WHEREAS, it has been the consistent position of the Town to support the construction
of a grade separated crossing at said location, and to date, no data or information has been
provided to the Town that would alter its position that a grade separated crossing ultimately is
the best, and safest, solution for all.

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon a resolution concerning the proposed extension of a North Texas Municipal
Water District (NTMWD) sanitary sewer line through the Town of Prosper to serve the City of
Celina.
Description of Agenda Item:
The City of Celina has requested to become a Customer City with the North Texas Municipal Water
District (NTMWD) in order to provide sanitary sewer service to the southeastern section of the City
of Celina. In order for the NTMWD to provide sanitary sewer service to the City of Celina, NTMWD
would have to extend the Wilson Creek Interceptor sewer line from its current termini at the
intersection of Prosper Trail and Wilson Creek through the Town of Prosper. The location of the
proposed line is conceptually shown on Exhibit A of the resolution.
On July 11, 2014, Town staff met with NTMWD to discuss the City of Celina’s request. Since the
Town of Prosper and the City of McKinney are current Member Cities in the existing Wilson Creek
Interceptor sewer line, NTMWD is requesting direction from both the Town of Prosper and City of
McKinney. While the Town of Prosper Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan depicts a sanitary
sewer line in the general vicinity of the proposed NTMWD extension of the Wilson Creek
Interceptor sewer line through the Town of Prosper, the Town’s sanitary sewer line was not
recommended to be a regional facility. The construction of the proposed extension of the Wilson
Creek Interceptor sewer line by NTMWD would have a major impact to the existing developed
single family residential properties. In addition, the significant number of lots proposed to be
served by this line in the City of Celina could result in odor concerns along the proposed and
existing Wilson Creek Interceptor sewer line through the Town limits.

THROUGH THE TOWN OF PROSPER TO SERVE THE SOUTHEASTERN
SECTION OF THE CITY OF CELINA; MAKING FINDINGS; AUTHORIZING
THE TOWN SECRETARY TO FORWARD THIS RESOLUTION TO THE
NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF CELINA;
AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Celina (“Celina”) has requested to become a Customer City with
the North Texas Municipal Water District (“NTMWD”) in order to provide sanitary sewer service
to the southeastern section of Celina, where additional residential lots are proposed for
development and construction; and
WHEREAS, for NTMWD to provide sanitary sewer service to the southeastern section of
Celina, NTMWD would be required to extend the Wilson Creek Interceptor sewer line from its
current termini at the intersection of Prosper Trail and Wilson Creek through the Town of
Prosper, as conceptually shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference;
and
WHEREAS, on or about July 11, 2014, Town staff met with NTMWD to discuss Celina’s
request; and
WHEREAS, since the Town of Prosper and the City of McKinney are current Member
Cities in the existing Wilson Creek Interceptor sewer line, NTMWD has requested direction from
both the Town of Prosper and the City of McKinney about the proposed extension of the
sanitary sewer line to serve southeastern Celina; and
WHEREAS, while the Prosper Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan depicts a sanitary
sewer line in the general vicinity of the proposed NTMWD extension of the Wilson Creek
Interceptor sewer line through the Town of Prosper, the Town’s sanitary sewer line was not (and
never has been) recommended to be a regional facility; and
WHEREAS, the construction of the proposed extension of the Wilson Creek Interceptor
sewer line by NTMWD would have major impacts to existing developed single family residential
properties in the Town, particularly between Prosper Trail and Frontier Parkway (FM 1461); and
WHEREAS, the significant number of lots proposed to be served by this sanitary sewer
line to southeastern Celina could result in odor concerns along the proposed and existing
Wilson Creek Interceptor sewer line through the Town; and
WHEREAS, the large number of lots currently proposed for development in Celina will
have a serious and adverse impact on the ability of the Prosper Independent School District to
meet the educational needs and high quality educational expectations of existing residents.

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request to rezone 93.2± acres, located
on the northwest corner of Prosper Trail and Coit Road, from Agricultural (A) and Single Family-
15 (SF-15) to Planned Development-Single Family-15/Office (PD-SF-15/O). (Z14-0008).
History:
On July 1, 2014, the Planning & Zoning Commission approved a motion, recommending the
Town Council rezone the entire subject property to Single Family-15 (SF-15). Since the
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the applicant has amended their zoning application to
request straight SF-15 zoning for the property, instead of a Planned Development (PD) District.

Requested Zoning – Z14-0008 is a request to rezone 93.2± acres, located on the northwest
corner of Prosper Trail and Coit Road, from Agricultural (A) and Single Family-15 (SF-15) to
Single Family-15 (SF-15).
Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) recommends Low Density
Residential for the property. The Low Density Residential District recommends a maximum of
1.6 dwelling units per acre, with single family lot sizes between 15,000 square feet and 1+ acre
in size. Estimated densities for the Zoning Ordinance’s single family residential zoning districts
are below. The estimated densities below reflect 30% of the property being used for public
purposes, such as right-of-way, detention, etc.
Zoning District Minimum Lot Size (sq. ft.) Density (dwelling units per acre)
SF-10 10,000 3.05
SF-12.5 12,500 2.44
SF-15 15,000 2.03
SF-17.5 17,500 1.74
SF-22 22,000 1.39
SF-E 43,560 0.70
The SF-15 District allows for a property to develop with all 15,000 square foot lots at a density of
approximately 2.0 dwelling units per acre. The zoning request does not conform to the FLUP.
Thoroughfare Plan – The property has direct access to Prosper Trail, a future four-lane divided
thoroughfare, and Coit Road, a future six-lane divided thoroughfare. The zoning exhibit
complies with the Thoroughfare Plan.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Services – Water service has been extended to the property and
sanitary sewer service will have to be extended to the property either before or with
development.
Access – Access to the property is provided from existing Prosper Trail and Coit Road.
Adequate access is provided to the property.
Schools – This property is located within the Prosper Independent School District (PISD). Any
future school sites are to be determined at the time of preliminary plat.
Parks – This property is subject to the Town’s park dedication requirements as they exist or may
be amended. Any future park sites and hike & bike trail locations are to be determined at the
time of preliminary plat.
Environmental Considerations – There is no 100-year floodplain located on the property.

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Presentation of service plan and first public hearing to consider the involuntary annexation of a
2.3± acre tract of land, located on the east side of Dallas Parkway, 500± feet south of First
Street. (A14-0001).
Description of Agenda Item:
In 2009, the Town entered into multiple five-year Annexation Agreements with the remaining
unincorporated properties within Collin County and in the Town’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction
(ETJ). The Town has offered to extend these Agreements to all properties that continue to
maintain their Agricultural use property tax exemption. The subject property no longer has an
Agricultural exempt status. Therefore, Town staff recommends moving forward with the
involuntary annexation of the property.
The schedule for involuntary annexation, which is attached, calls for two public hearings to be
held. This is the first public hearing and the second of two public hearings is scheduled for
August 12, 2014. The map of the proposed annexation, service plan, and annexation schedule
are attached.
Legal Obligations and Review:
The Town Attorney reviewed the annexation schedule to ensure compliance with state law.
Annexation notices have been mailed to the property owners per state law and the annexation
schedule. The public hearing notice for the first public hearing has been published in the
newspaper and placed on the Town’s website per state law and the annexation schedule.
Attached Documents:
1. Map of the proposed 2014 Annexations.
2. The 2014 Annexation Service Plan.
3. The 2014 Annexation Schedule.
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends the Town Council conduct the first public hearing to consider the
involuntary annexation of a 2.3± acre tract of land located on the east side of Dallas Parkway,
500± feet south of First Street, and to receive comments from the public.
Proposed Motion:
Once the public hearing has been held, no further action is required for this item.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon authorizing the Mayor to execute a Development Agreement between
Triple B. Holding, L.P., and the Town of Prosper, Texas, related to the timing and construction
of fencing materials for Warren/Avant Garde Addition, Block A, Lot 1R.
Description of Agenda Item:
At the June 24, 2014, Town Council meeting, the Town Council considered an alternative type
of open storage screening for Warren/Avant Garde Addition, Block A, Lot 1R (The Body Shop),
on 2.5± acres, located on the west side of Business Park Drive, 400± feet south of First Street.
The request as proposed by the applicant included allowing the existing chain-linked fencing
along the southern property line to remain; however, the applicant agreed to entering into an
agreement that would require the chain-linked fencing to be replaced with wrought iron fencing
at the time the adjacent thoroughfare, Business Park Drive, is constructed.
The Development Agreement outlines the terms and conditions for the timing of fence
replacement and requirements for fencing construction materials, including the owner replace
the existing chain link fence along the south side of the property with a wrought iron (or similar
ornamental metal) fencing, a minimum of six feet (6’) in height, upon the commencement of
construction of Business Park Drive adjacent to the property, the owner remove the existing
barbed-wire from the existing chain-link fencing (along the western and southern boundary lines
of the Property) prior to the issuance of any Certificate of Occupancy by the Town, and that all
fence construction activities shall conform to all applicable codes and ordinances of the Town.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Town Attorney, Terrence Welch drafted the Development Agreement.
Attached Documents:
1. The Development Agreement.
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends the Town Council authorize the Mayor to execute a Development
Agreement between Triple B. Holding, L.P., and the Town of Prosper, Texas, related to the

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon an alternative type of open storage screening for Warren/Avant Garde
Addition, Block A, Lot 1R (The Body Shop), on 2.5± acres, located on the west side of Business
Park Drive, 400± feet south of First Street. The property is zoned Commercial (C). (D14-0017).
Description of Agenda Item:
At the June 24, 2014, Town Council meeting, the Town Council tabled the request for an
alternative type of open storage screening to allow the applicant an opportunity to draft an
agreement which would require the chain-linked fencing along the southern property line to be
replaced with wrought iron at the time Business Park Drive is constructed. A Development
Agreement has been drafted and is being considered in conjunction with this request. The
subject property currently has one existing 21,000-square-foot metal building, constructed in
2007, prior to the property being annexed. The applicant is proposing to add 3,468 square feet
of open storage area, as shown in the designated area on the site plan, which is required to be
screened from all streets and adjacent properties. Chapter 4, Section 5.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance, which is attached, includes two options for open storage screening, or allows for an
alternative type of screening to be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission with a
recommendation forwarded to Town Council for approval. The applicant is requesting approval
of an alternative type of open storage screening consisting of 6-foot ornamental metal fencing
along the northern and eastern property line and existing chain linked fencing along the
southern and western property lines, a 10-foot landscape setback along the eastern, western,
and southern property lines, and the existing 6-foot landscape setback along the northern
property line. The proposed open storage screening also consists of one 3-inch caliper
ornamental evergreen tree every 15 feet and one 30-gallon evergreen shrub every 15 feet.
The southern adjacent property is zoned Planned Development-54 (PD-54), which requires the
screening along the north side of the property (along the shared property line with this property)
be integrated into the required screening by January 24, 2014, (two years after ordinance
adoption). Since a new screening fence has not been constructed on this property, PD-54
requires a 9-foot tall architectural metal fence along the shared property line to screen open
storage. The purpose of this provision was to provide screening for a proposed greenhouse
with open storage; however, the greenhouse was never constructed. Therefore, the 9-foot tall
architectural metal open storage screening fence is not required and has not been constructed.
The proposed request for an alternative type of open storage screening provides an opportunity
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
PLANNING
Item 11
Page 2 of 2
to meet the intent of the fencing provision of PD-54, which is to have upgraded fencing along
the southern property of the subject property, adjacent to a future Town thoroughfare.
Legal Obligations and Review:
The alternative type of open storage screening must be approved by the Town Council or the
open storage screening shall comply with one of the other provisions in the Zoning Ordinance.
Attached Documents:
1. The site plan.
2. Chapter 4, Section 5.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.

SECTION 5
SCREENING FENCES AND WALLS
5.1 PURPOSE
Standards set forth in this Section are intended to encourage the appropriate use of land and conserve and
protect the privacy and value of adjacent permitted uses. Regulations are prescribed for the location and type
of various screening devices to be used when required in the various zoning districts or in this Section in
accordance with the following standards.
5.2 LOCATION OF REQUIRED SCREENING (Z07-7, Z07-8, Z07-17, Z09-5)
A. When a boundary of a multifamily, institutional, or non-residential Use sides or backs to a property that is
zoned or designated on the Future Land Use Plan for residential (non-multifamily) uses, or when any
institutional or non-residential Use sides or backs to a MF District, a solid screening wall or fence of not less
than six (6) feet nor more than eight (8) feet in height shall be erected on the property line separating these
uses. The purpose of the screening wall or fence is to provide a visual barrier between the properties.
The owner of such property of the lesser restrictive use shall be responsible for and shall build the required
wall or fence on his property line dividing his property from the more restrictive zoning district. In cases
where the Planning & Zoning Commission finds this requirement to be better met by an irrigated living
screen, the same may be substituted for the screening wall after a landscape plan has been prepared to
demonstrate equal visual screening.
A screening wall or fence required under the provisions of this section, under a Specific Use Permit, a
Planned Development District, or other requirement shall be constructed of clay-fired brick masonry units or
other suitable permanent materials which do not contain openings constituting more than forty (40) square
inches in each one square foot of wall or fence surface, and the surface of such wall or fence shall
constitute a visual barrier. All wall or fence openings shall be equipped with gates equal in height and
screening characteristics to the wall or fence. Concrete masonry units, poured in place concrete, tilt-up
concrete, or concrete panels may be used upon approval by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Properties zoned Downtown Commercial (DTC), Downtown Retail (DTR), or Downtown Office (DTO) are
only required to provide screening along property lines that are adjacent to properties shown as residential
on the Future Land Use Plan. The screening must consist of an eight foot (8’) cedar board-on-board
wooden fence with metal posts anchored in concrete.
B. All required screening walls shall be equally finished on both sides of the wall.
C. All loading and service areas shall be screened from view from adjacent public streets and adjacent
property that is zoned or designated on the Future Land Use Plan for residential uses. Screening shall be
by walls with complimentary landscaping that is compatible with the project design.
1. Screening walls shall be fourteen (14) feet tall with one row of perimeter evergreen trees adjacent to
the loading area.
2. A screening wall is not required if a double row of perimeter evergreen trees is provided on offset fifty
(50) foot centers within a fifteen (15) foot landscape edge. Fifty (50) percent of the trees shall be
canopy evergreen trees.
D. All uses providing open storage shall provide a site plan and landscape plan depicting the following:
1. The location of open storage on the property;
2. The location of parking and vehicular maneuvering aisles and/or fire lanes in relation to the open
storage;
4-5-1
Item 11

the primary use; and
4. The location, height, and type of screening.
A new use utilizing an existing building shall submit an amended site plan depicting the location of open
storage. If the open storage area exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the gross floor area of the primary use
building or ten (10%) of the lot area, it must be presented on a site plan and approved by the Planning &
Zoning Commission.
E. Open storage shall abide by the following requirements:
1. It shall only contain equipment, vehicles, commodities, materials, goods, or merchandise that is sold,
rented, or distributed within the inside of a building of a primary use, unless it is demonstrated to the
Director of Development Services or his/her designee that such products or materials could not be
located indoors.
2. It shall not be located within any required front, side, or rear yard setbacks.
3. It shall be screened from all streets and adjacent properties with the following:
a. A minimum six (6) foot ornamental metal fence, not to be more than ten (10) feet in height, with a
solid living screen located in a ten (10) foot landscape setback, containing a minimum of three (3)
inch caliper evergreen trees on fifteen (15) foot centers with a continuous row of minimum seven
(7) gallon evergreen shrubs along the exterior or interior of the fence; or
b. A minimum six (6) foot masonry wall, not to be more than ten (10) feet in height, matching the
materials of the primary building with three (3) inch caliper evergreen trees on fifteen (15) foot
centers, located in a ten (10) foot landscape setback along the interior of the wall.
c. Alternative types of screening must be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission with a
recommendation forwarded to Town Council for approval.
4. It shall not exceed a height of one (1) foot below the top of the solid living screen or wall screening,
whichever is greater, or be visible from the property line. A Nursery, Major may store plants that

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Discussion on proposed Military Recognition Programs.
Description of Agenda Item:
Town staff would like to propose two Military Recognition Programs to honor our Prosper area
military service personnel.
Blue Star Flag Program
The Service Flag, also known as the Blue Star Flag, has been displayed by military families
dating back to World War I. It is an official banner authorized by the Department of Defense for
display by families who have members serving in all branches of the Armed Forces. During
World War II, the practice of displaying the Blue Star Flag became more widespread. The flag
may be presented to the spouse, parent, child, or sibling of active service personnel who have
been deployed overseas. The Service Flag is an indoor flag, and is designed to be displayed
facing out from the front window of the recipient’s residence.
Each blue star on the flag indicates a service member on active duty. Occasionally, a flag may
have more than one blue star, indicating more than one service member in a family on active
duty. A gold star is displayed if a service member is killed in action or dies while in service. The
program honors the individuals serving our country while also acknowledging the sacrifices
made by the family members who are left behind.
Hometown Heroes Program
While the Blue Star Flag program honors individuals who are being deployed overseas, the
Hometown Heroes program is a way for the Town to welcome home our Prosper area service
personnel who are returning home from active duty. Communities all across our nation are
recognizing the importance of welcoming our troops home, and showing our appreciation for
their service.
Both of these military recognition programs would be open to Prosper residents. Applications
may be submitted through the Town Secretary’s Office, and advertised on the Town’s website.
The Town Secretary would gather the appropriate information from the family and or service
personnel, and a presentation would be made at a Town Council meeting, similar to a
Proclamation.
A Blue Star Flag presentation would include a short introduction of the service member who is
being deployed, their branch of service and rank, and any special details about their training or
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
TOWN SECRETARY

service, followed by a presentation of a Service Flag by the Mayor and Town Council to the
family.
A Hometown Heroes presentation would consist of a short introduction of the service member in
attendance who has returned home from serving overseas, a brief description of his or her
service, and the presentation of a framed certificate of appreciation from the Mayor and Town
Council.
Currently, the City of Allen and the City of McKinney offer Blue Star Flag programs, the City of
Heath offers a Hometown Heroes program, and City of Little Elm has a Military Banner program.
Budgetary Impact:
The budgetary impact for implementing these programs will be minimal, and can be paid for by
funds that have already been budgeted.
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends the Town Council provide direction to staff on the implementation of the
Town of Prosper Military Recognition Programs.

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Discussion on the School Zone Signs and Markings Policy.
Description of Agenda Item:
On March 5, 2014, the Town Manager executed an engineering services agreement with Lee
Engineering (Lee) to conduct a study of the school zones within Prosper. The purpose of this
study was to evaluate existing school zones, set a new policy for existing and future school
zones based on best engineering practices, and to identify modifications to the existing school
zones based on the new policy. The study was to also include policy recommendations on
school zone flashing beacons as requested by the Town Council at their 2014 Strategic
Planning meeting.
The Prosper Independent School District (PISD) currently operates six school campuses within
the Town's jurisdiction: Cockrell Elementary School, Folsom Elementary School, Rucker
Elementary School, Reynolds Middle School, Rogers Middle School, and Prosper High School.
As the Town continues to grow, PISD will establish new school campuses to serve the growing
population. While PISD is responsible for the operation of their school campuses, the Town is
responsible for the safe and efficient flow of vehicles and pedestrians on public roadways and
sidewalks to and from the school campuses.
For the existing school zones, Lee conducted a visual survey of pedestrian traffic during the
week of April 7, 2014, to determine the number of pedestrians using marked crosswalks in the
vicinity of each school campus, including all locations with crossing guards. Lee also performed
a visual survey of school zone signs and markings in the vicinity of each school campus. This
information was compared against school zone policies in the cities of Frisco, McKinney,
Denton, Lewisville, and Southlake as well as technical research and reference documents
prepared by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the Texas Transportation
Institute (TTI), and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO).
ENGINEERING
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
Item 13
Page 2 of 4
Based on the results of the visual survey, the existing practices of neighboring cities, and the
technical research and reference documents, Lee has developed a School Zone Signs and
Markings Policy. The full text of this policy is attached to this agenda item and is summarized
below:
1. Establishment of Reduced Speed School Zones
a. All reduced speed school zones on Town roadways will be posted at 20 MPH. Any
reduced speed school zone on a state roadway will be posted in accordance with
TxDOT requirements, typically 15 MPH below the posted speed limit (i.e. 30 MPH school
zone where the posted speed limit is normally 45 MPH).
b. School zones will be in effect in the morning from 30 minutes before school starts to 15
minutes after school starts. School zones will be in effect in the afternoon from 15
minutes before school ends to 30 minutes after school ends.
c. On residential roadways, school zones will be established adjacent to each school
campus and at any school crosswalk marked in accordance with the policy (see below).
The school zones will include a minimum 200-foot buffer in each direction from the
school property line or school crosswalk location.
d. On major/minor thoroughfares and collectors designated on the Town's Thoroughfare
Plan, school zones will be established at school driveways and at school crosswalks
marked in accordance with the policy (see below). The school zones will include a
minimum 200 or 300-foot buffer, based on the posted speed limit, in each direction from
the school driveway or school crosswalk location.
e. School zones located on major/minor thoroughfares and collectors designated on the
Town's Thoroughfare Plan will include a flashing beacon and radar speed board at the
start point. School zones located on thoroughfares after the start point or on residential
roadways will have static signage only.
f. Variances to this policy based on an engineering study may be approved by the
Executive Director of Development and Community Services.
2. Traffic Signs
a. Advance warning of a school zone shall be provided with a sign assembly consisting of a
school sign with an ahead plaque.
b. The start of a school zone shall be marked with a sign assembly consisting of a school
plaque, a school speed limit sign, hours of operation, and a cell phone prohibition. A
flashing beacon and radar speed board may also be included based on the previous
section.
c. Additional school speed limit sign assemblies may be installed as confirmation in a
school zone exceeding 1,000 feet or after major intersections within a school zone.
d. A school crosswalk marked in accordance with this policy (see below) shall be marked
with a sign assembly consisting of a school sign and a downward point arrow.
Item 13
Page 3 of 4
e. The end of a school zone shall be marked with a sign assembly consisting of a end
school zone plaque and a normal speed limit sign.
3. Markings
a. The beginning and end of a school zone shall be marked with a 12-inch white line that
extends across the full width of the roadway pavement.
4. Crosswalks
a. School crosswalks shall be marked with "piano" style crosswalks consisting of a series
of rectangular white pavement markings.
b. On residential roadways, school crosswalks shall be established adjacent to each school
campus at major pedestrian arrival/departure points and at other locations where 10 or
more children cross the roadway.
c. On major/minor thoroughfares and collectors designated on the Town's Thoroughfare
Plan, school crosswalks shall be established based on an engineering study of both
pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
Lee has recommended modifications to the school zones for each of the six existing school
campuses. These modifications are detailed on the attached maps. The major modifications
are summarized below:
1. Cockrell Elementary School
a. Install flashing beacons and radar speed boards on Prosper Trail located 300 feet west
of the school driveway and 300 feet east of Escalante Trail.
b. Extend school zone on Escalante Trail to include the intersection with Whitley Place
Drive.
c. Install a marked school crosswalk across Escalante Trail at Whitley Place Drive.
2. Folsom Elementary School
a. Establish a school zone and install flashing beacons and radar speed boards on La
Cima Boulevard located 300 feet north and south of Arrowhead Drive.
3. Rucker Elementary School
a. Remove school zone from intersection of First Street and Craig Road.
b. Install flashing beacons and radar speed boards on Craig Road located 200 feet north
and south of the school driveways.
c. Relocate and modify school warning signs on Preston Road to include directional arrows
pointing toward Craig Drive.
Item 13
Page 4 of 4
4. Reynolds Middle School
a. Remove school zone from intersections of Coleman Street with Seventh and Eighth
Streets and from intersections of Church Street with Seventh and Eighth Streets.
b. Install flashing beacons and radar speed boards on Coleman Street located 380 feet
north and 200 feet south of the school driveways.
5. Rogers Middle School
a. Install flashing beacon and radar speed board on Richland Boulevard located 300 feet
west of Coit Road.
b. Install school speed limit confirmation signs on NB Coit Road north of Richland
Boulevard and on EB Richland Boulevard east of Coit Road.
6. Prosper High School
a. Install flashing beacons and radar speed boards on Frontier Parkway located 300 feet
east and west of the school driveway.
b. Install flashing beacon and radar speed board on Coleman Street located 300 feet west
of the school driveway.
Town staff met with PISD staff on June 25, 2014, to review this policy and the recommended
school zone modifications. Minor comments and clarifications were discussed and incorporated
into the policy, where appropriate. Moving forward, all new school campuses and new
roadways will be reviewed for compliance with this policy. All existing school campuses and
roadways will be reviewed annually for compliance with this policy. Both pedestrian and
vehicular traffic patterns will be considered when making any modifications to school zone signs
and markings. Amendments to the School Zone Ordinance will be brought before Town
Council, as necessary, based on these modifications.
Based on this policy and further discussion, Town staff will be bringing an amendment to the
current School Zone Ordinance to Council for consideration at the August 12, Town Council
meeting. Additional school zone flashers have been ordered based on the current policy
recommendations and are expected to be installed prior to the start of school next month.
Modifications to other signs and markings are also anticipated to occur in the coming weeks.

Prosper School Policy 3 July 2014
Introduction
Since 2000, the population of the Town of Prosper has increased over 400%. Based on the 2014
North Central Texas Council of Governments, the population of Prosper is 14,710 with 42% of
the residents below 18 years of age. With such a young population, the Town of Prosper knows
that new schools will be built and attendance boundaries will be constantly changing in the future.
The goal of this study is to develop a practice that enables Town staff to apply consistent design
standards that meet current engineering practice, meet the unique needs of Town of Prosper
residents, and provide a safe environment for students, teachers, and parents.
The goal of effective traffic control is to consistently apply a standard so that the driver understands
the expectations of the roadway. However, engineering alone cannot make school routes safe.
The Safe Routes to School program advocates the “5 E’s” - education, encouragement,
enforcement, engineering, and evaluation to promote safety near schools. The goal of this policy
is to establish uniform standards for the Town of Prosper, but is not intended to be the only method
of improving safety around schools. School officials and law enforcement will be key partners in
developing a safe school environment.
The following resources were reviewed and are referenced throughout this policy:
1. 2011 Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD)
2. TxDOT Procedure for Establishing Speed Zones (TxDOT)
3. Pedestrian Crossing Guidelines for Texas (FHWA/TX-01/2136-2)

documents listed above.
Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
Chapter 7 of the 2011 Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) provides
direction on School Traffic Control. Compliance with the TMUTCD was maintained in the
majority of this policy and, if this policy varies from the TMUTCD, justification is provided. The
TMUTCD provides three levels of direction – Standard, Guidance, and Options. Items that are
listed as a “Standard” should be complied with at all times. Items listed in the Guidance” and
“Options” section of the TMUTCD can considered for installation, but are not required.
Item 13
Prosper School Policy 4 July 2014
Reduced Speed School Zones
Introduction
Studies have shown that when a pedestrian is hit at 30 mph, the chance of an incapacitating or fatal
injury is 40%. The Town of Prosper has adopted a 25 mph speed limit in residential neighborhoods
in an effort to improve the safety of pedestrians within residential areas. By reducing the prima
facie speed limit to 25 mph, the chances of incapacitating or fatal injury is reduced to less than
15%.
The chances of a pedestrian/vehicular conflict dramatically increases adjacent to schools due to
the increased traffic. The installation of a reduced speed school zone increases driver awareness
of their surroundings and decreases the probability for a pedestrian-vehicular conflict. In addition,
studies have shown that the chances of an incapacitating or fatal injury are reduced to less than
10% by reducing the prima facie speed limit to 20 mph.
Policy
1. Reduced speed school zones should begin 30 minutes before school begins and end 15
minutes after school begins. In the afternoon, reduced speed school zones should begin 15
minutes before school ends and end 30 minutes after school ends.
2. All reduced speed school zones shall be designated as 20 mph on Town controlled
roadways. On State controlled roadways (i.e. Preston Road), the posted speed limit in a
reduced speed school zone is typically limited to 15 mph below the posted speed limit. For
example, a roadway with a 50 mph speed limit can only be reduced to 35 mph during the
reduced speed school zone. Each location on a State controlled roadway shall be evaluated
in coordination with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
3. Studies have shown that as the length of school zones increases, the compliance rate for
reduced speed school zones decreases. Therefore, the length of school zones should be
kept to a minimum. Table 1 shows the recommended distance for reduced speed school
zones of roadways with posted speed limits of 25 mph or higher. This distance is measured
from the school property line, crosswalk or conflict point (i.e. driveway).
Table 1: Recommended Reduced Speed School Zone Spacing

30 200’
35 200’
40 300’
45 300’
50 400’
55 400’
4. On residential roadways, reduced speed school zones shall be established adjacent to each
public school campus to indicate the presence of pedestrians and at school crosswalks
installed in accordance with this policy.
Item 13
Prosper School Policy 5 July 2014
5. On major/minor thoroughfares and collectors designated on the Town's Thoroughfare Plan,
reduced speed school zones should be installed at conflict points (i.e. school crosswalk,
driveways) in accordance with this policy and where public school driveways intersect the
roadway.
6. On major/minor thoroughfares designated on the Town's Thoroughfare Plan, a
supplemental flashing beacon and radar speed board should be installed on the initial
reduced speed school zone sign for each approach. On a divided roadway, a supplemental
flashing beacon and radar speed board will be provided on the right side of the roadway
only. A static sign should be installed on the left side of the roadway.
7. Reduced speed school zones shall be monitored annually for pedestrian activity. A reduced
speed school zone may be modified or removed as necessary to accommodate changes in
school boundaries and pedestrian activity.
8. Engineering judgment may necessitate a deviation from these standards. Any variance to
this policy will be approved by the Executive Director of Development and Community
Services.
Justification
1. Statistics have shown that 42% of pedestrian crashes occurred on undivided roadways
where the speed limit was 35 mph or less (3).
2. Pedestrian activity should be the primary consideration when installing reduced speed
school zones (2) (3).
3. Schools zones in urban areas where speeds are 30 mph or less may have school zones as
short as 200 to 300 feet (2).
4. School speed limits should be installed based on the posted speed limit (4).
5. A statewide survey of city and school district police officers indicated that over 85% of the
officers agreed the posted speed limit with “End School Zone” plaque improved
compliance (4).
6. Operating speeds increase as the distance from the beginning of the school zone increases.
For every quarter-mile (1320 feet) of school zone length, speeds can be expected to
increase almost 2.5 mph. Studies have shown that compliance is highest in the first 350
feet of school zone. By limiting the reduced speed school zone to 400 feet maximum,
compliance to the 20 mph speed limit should be higher (4).
Item 13
Prosper School Policy 6 July 2014
Traffic Signs
Introduction
The goal of the installation of traffic signs is to provide clear direction to drivers. Sign size, color,
and placement should comply with the TMUTCD. Two types of basic signs are used in school
traffic control – regulatory and warning. Regulatory signs are black, white, and/or red. Regulatory
signs can be enforced by law enforcement and citations can be issued for violation. School
warning signs are required to have a fluorescent yellow-green background with a black legend.
These signs are used to “warn” the motoring public of a change in the dynamics of the roadway.
The installation of traffic signs should only be completed after necessary engineering studies
support the need for additional traffic control.
Policy
The Town of Prosper will follow the current recommended practice in the TMUTCD in sign
placement. The following signs are recommended for use in Prosper:
1. The spacing of signs will be a factor of the posted speed limit of the road during non-
reduced speed school zone times. Table 2 defines the proposed warning sign spacing for
school zone signing.

(R2-1), a time limit plaque (S4-1P), and an electronic device restriction (S7-1T) as shown
in Figure 2. Supplemental flashing beacons and radar speed boards may be installed in
accordance with the previous chapter. A school speed limit assembly shall be installed at
the beginning of all reduced speed school zones. Additional school speed limit assemblies
may be installed in continuous school zones that extend beyond 1,000 feet or in locations
where a reduced speed school extends through a major intersection.

Justification
1. The size of regulatory signs is defined in Table 2B-1 of Section 2 of the TMUTCD and is
based on the roadway type, but no clear direction is provided on the sign spacing for
regulatory signs. The size of warning signs is defined in Table 2C-2. The placement of
warning signs is defined in Table 2C-4, but the spacing is dependent upon the drivers need
to respond (1).
2. TxDOT developed a recommended sign spacing based on research through TTI. By
utilizing a sign spacing based on the speed limit, sign installation will be consistent
throughout the Town of Prosper (4).
3. In-Street Pedestrian Crossing signs can be used to identify pedestrian crossings; however,
Section 7 of the TMUTCD states, “the sign (4) support shall comply with the mounting
height and special mounting support requirements for In-Street Pedestrian Crossing (R1-
6) signs” in Section 2B.12. Section 2B.12 of the TMUTCD states that “The In-Street
Pedestrian Crossing sign shall not be post-mounted on the left-hand or right-hand side of
the roadway” (1).
Item 13
Prosper School Policy 10 July 2014
Markings
Introduction
The purpose of pavement markings is to provide direction to the road user. In school areas,
pavement markings can include pavement and curb markings, delineators, and channelization
devices. Pavement markings are used to supplement traffic signs and/or signals.
Policy
The Town of Prosper will follow the current recommended practice in the TMUTCD. However,
around schools, the following pavement markings will become standard:
1. A 12” transverse white line shall be provided across the full pavement width to mark the
beginning and end of a reduced speed school zone installed in accordance with this policy.
Justification
1. Section 7C.03 of the TMUTCD requirements (1).
Item 13
Prosper School Policy 11 July 2014
Crosswalks
Introduction
A crosswalk is defined as a point at which pedestrians are crossing vehicular traffic. Crosswalks
can be both marked and unmarked. Texas state law (Transportation Code of Texas, Sec. 541.302)
defines a crosswalk as:
“(A) the portion of a roadway, including an intersection, designated as a pedestrian
crossing by surface markings, including lines; or (B) the portion of a roadway at an
intersection that is within the connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on
opposite sides of the highway measured from the curbs or, in the absence of curbs,
from the edges of the traversable roadway.”
Section 552.003 of the Texas Transportation Code states the following:
The operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing a
roadway in a crosswalk if no traffic control signal is in place or in operation and if
the pedestrian is either on the half of the roadway in which the vehicle is traveling
or approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger.
Policy
The following Crosswalk Policy is proposed:
1. School crosswalks will be identified by a 24” x 6’ piano style crosswalk as shown in Figure
6. The crosswalk width should match the width of the sidewalk approach if greater than 6
feet. Spacing should be 2’ minimum and a maximum of 5' and should be selected to avoid
wheel paths of vehicles if possible.
2. On residential roadways, school crosswalks should installed adjacent to the schools at
major pedestrian arrival and departure points based upon an engineering study of the school
site and the surrounding neighborhood. Additional school crosswalks should be installed
where an engineering study supports a minimum of 10 children crossing within 200 feet of
Figure 6: Piano Crosswalks
Item 13
Prosper School Policy 12 July 2014
one location. If a crosswalk is installed, a reduced speed school zone shall be established
and signs and markings installed in accordance with this policy.
3. On major/minor thoroughfares and collectors designated on the Town's Thoroughfare Plan,
school crosswalks should only be installed after an engineering study is completed. If a
crosswalk is installed, a reduced speed school zone shall be established and signs and
markings installed in accordance with this policy.
4. All school crosswalks shall be monitored annually for pedestrian volume requirements.
5. Sight distance should be documented at each location to determine if any visibility
restrictions exist. Where visibility restrictions are found to exist, additional signs may be
installed in accordance with TMUTCD guidelines.
Justification
1. Studies have revealed that on two-lane roads “there were no significant differences in
pedestrian crashes for marked vs. unmarked crosswalk sites. In other words, pedestrian
safety on two-lane roads was not found to be different whether the crosswalk was marked
or unmarked. This conclusion is based on a sample size of 914 crossing sites on two-lane
roads (out of 2,000 total sites)” (5).
2. Texas law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Texas law defines
unmarked crosswalks as the “extension of a sidewalk across intersecting roadways”.
Drivers do not have to yield to pedestrians crossing in an unmarked mid-block crosswalk.
SOURCE: Texas Transportation Code Sec 552.
3. TMUTCD states “Crosswalks should be installed based on an engineering study”. A
pedestrian study, a gap study, and a visibility study are possible studies that can be
completed before a crosswalk is installed (1).
4. The current ITE recommended practice states crosswalks should be installed “where a
marked crosswalk can concentrate or channelize multiple pedestrian crossings to a single
location”. By restricting access to adjacent to a school and limited crossings on collectors
and arterials the pedestrians can be “funneled” (3).
5. Crash studies shows that the presence of a “Marked” crosswalk alone did not significantly
lower the crash rate (6).

Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon ordinances adopting the following codes: 2012 editions of the
International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Plumbing Code,
International Energy Conservation Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fuel Gas
Code, and the 2011 edition of the National Electrical Code.
Description of Agenda Item:
Town staff has researched current Town of Prosper and various other cities’ building and
building-related codes (including latest editions promulgated by the International Code Council,
Inc., and local amendments thereto) in order to improve the existing codes and provide for
consistent up-to-date documentation. The proposed amendments cover topics such as:
The provisions of the International Building Code shall apply to the construction, alteration,
movement, enlargement, replacement, repair, equipment, use and occupancy, location,
maintenance, removal and demolition of every building or structure or any appurtenances
connected or attached to such buildings or structures. Except for detached one- and two-
family dwellings and multiple single-family dwellings (townhouses) not more than three
stories above grade plane in height with a separate means of egress and their accessory
structures shall comply with the International Residential Code.
The provisions of the International Residential Code for One-and Two-Family Dwellings shall
apply to the construction, alteration, movement, enlargement, replacement, repair,
equipment, use and occupancy, location, removal and demolition of detached one- and two-
family dwellings and townhouses not more than three stories above-grade in height with a
separate means of egress and their accessory structures.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
BUILDING INSPECTIONS
Item 14
Page 2 of 10
The provisions of the International Plumbing Code shall apply to the erection, installation,
alteration, repairs, relocation, replacement, addition to, use or maintenance of plumbing
systems within this jurisdiction. The Code shall also regulate nonflammable medical gas,
inhalation anesthetic, vacuum piping, nonmedical oxygen systems and sanitary and
condensate vacuum collection systems.
The provisions of the International Energy Conservation Code shall regulate the design and
construction of buildings for the effective use and conservation of energy over the useful life
of each building. This code is intended to provide flexibility to permit the use of innovative
approaches and techniques to achieve this objective. This code is not intended to abridge
safety, health or environmental requirements contained in other applicable codes or
ordinances.
The provisions of the International Mechanical Code shall apply to the installation,
maintenance, design, alteration and inspection of mechanical systems that are permanently
installed and utilized to provide control of environmental conditions and related processes
within buildings. This code shall also regulate those mechanical systems, system
components, equipment and appliances specifically addressed herein.
The provisions of International Fuel Gas Code shall apply to the installation of fuel gas
piping systems, fuel gas utilization equipment, gaseous hydrogen systems and related
accessories. This code shall regulate the design, installation, maintenance, alteration and
inspection of mechanical systems that are permanently installed and utilized to provide
control of environmental conditions and related processes within buildings. This code shall
also regulate those mechanical systems, system components, equipment and appliances
specifically addressed herein.
The provisions of the National Electrical Code shall apply to the erection, installation,
alteration, repairs, relocation, replacement, addition to, use or maintenance of electrical
systems within this jurisdiction. This code shall also regulate the installation of electrical
conductors, equipment, and raceways; signaling and communications conductors,
equipment, and raceways; and optical fiber cables and raceways.
International Code Council (ICC)
The International Code Council (ICC) is dedicated to developing model codes and standards
used in the design and building compliance processes to construct safe, sustainable, affordable
and resilient structures. The International Codes are now not only used throughout all fifty
states but globally as well. The International Codes provide minimum safeguards for people at
home, at school and in the workplace. The I-Codes are a complete set of comprehensive,
coordinated building safety and fire prevention codes. Building codes benefit public safety and
support the industry’s need for one set of codes without regional limitations. The International
Codes are up-dated and new editions published every three years.
Item 14
Page 3 of 10
National Electrical Code (NEC)
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has acted as sponsor of the National Electrical
Code since 1911. The original Code document was developed in 1897 as a result of the united
efforts of various insurance, electrical, architectural, and allied interests. Adopted in all 50
states, the NEC is the benchmark for safe electrical design, installation, and inspection to
protect people and property from electrical hazards. The NEC addresses the installation of
electrical conductors, equipment, and raceways; signaling and communications conductors,
equipment, and raceways; and optical fiber cables and raceways in commercial, residential, and
industrial occupancies. The National Electrical Code is also up-dated and new editions
published every three years.
Current Codes and the Proposed Transitions
The Town of Prosper is currently under the 2006 editions of the ICC’s International Building
Code series and the 2005 edition of the NFPA’s National Electrical Code effectively adopted on
July 1, 2009. The adoption of the 2012 ICC codes and the 2011 NEC as recognized with the
proposed minimal local amendments is in the best interest of the Town of Prosper and will serve
to promote the health, safety and welfare of our Citizens. Other benefits from the code adoption
will be:
Establishing consistency of code adoptions with other north Texas cities.
Compiling with Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration (FEMA) strategic goal to
support disaster resilience and the ability of local communities to withstand and recover
rapidly from disaster events. Building Code adoption supports this goal. According to
FEMA’s website there is no more important factor in reducing a community’s risk from an
earthquake and other disasters than the adoption and enforcement of up-to-date building
codes.
Enhancing the Town’s opportunity to receive a better Insurance Service Office (ISO)
Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS) rating. According to ISO, their
evaluation BCEGS program assesses the building codes in effect in a particular community
and how the community enforces them, with special emphasis on mitigating losses from
natural hazards. Municipalities with well-enforced, up-to-date codes should demonstrate
better loss experience. Reducing catastrophe related damage and ultimately lowering
insurance costs provide an incentive for communities to adopt the latest building codes and
enforce them rigorously. Through the BCEGS program, ISO assigns each municipality a
Building Code Effectiveness Classification from 1 (exemplary commitment to building-code
enforcement) to 10 for both commercial and residential construction. Insurers and individual
policyholders benefit from reduced losses in communities with favorable classifications.
Effective code enforcement leads to safer buildings, less damage from catastrophes, and
lower insured losses. ISO-BCEGS program recommends communities to adopt and enforce
the latest code edition of a nationally recognized building-code development and publication
organization. According to ISO, a community will receive fewer points for adopting less
current building codes and a community receives more points based on its adoption of
Item 14
Page 4 of 10
unamended building codes. Also, a community earns fewer points when it amends the
code to be less conservative than the nationally published code.
Significant Code Changes (Administrative)
Administrative amendments, chapter one (Scope and Administration) of all the proposed ICC
codes have very similar administrative requirements, so staff is proposing very minimal
amendments that will apply to all the proposed ICC codes and to the proposed NEC Appendix-
H for consistency of enforcement.
An amendment adopting the 2012 ICC-NEC codes and the Town of Proper codes (Sec
101.1).
An amendment recognizing referenced codes and standards and the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and the Town’s electrical code (Sec. 102.4). (This amendment was previously
approved in the Prosper 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring all fences, accessory structures, sidewalk, driveways and retaining
walls over 2-feet to be permitted prior to installation (Sec. 105.2). (The building code as
written did not require a permit for fences less than seven feet in height, accessory building
120 square feet or less, sidewalks and driveways not over 30” above grade and retaining
walls under 4-feet in height).
An amendment placing a time limit on permit application of 90 days (Sec. 105.3.2). (The
current building code sets the expiration time at 180 days. This amendment was previously
approved in the Prosper 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment placing a time limit on the permit of one required inspection within a 180-day
period after the issuance of the permit or the permit will expire (Sec. 105.5). (The current
building code did not have this requirement even though it may have been implied, a permit
could continue past 180 days without having an inspection. This amendment was previously
approved in the Prosper 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring a Texas licensed engineer to provide sealed engineered
foundation plans (Sec. 107.1). (This although not actually written in the code, this has been
a long standing practice throughout north Texas cities).
An amendment requiring a licensed design professional (e.g. licensed engineer or architect)
to provide sealed structural framing plans (Sec. 107.1). (This is a new proposed
amendment for the Town).
An amendment that recognizes the Town of Prosper’s established “Fee Schedule” (Sec.
109.2).
An amendment that establishes a penalty of 100% of the usual permit fee for starting work
prior to obtaining the required permit (Sec. 109.4). (This amendment was previously
approved in the Prosper 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment that established a permit fee refund when fees were erroneously paid or in
the case of a request for refund prior to the start of work of a maximum 80% (Sec. 109.6).
An amendment that requires a Texas licensed engineer (or their representative) to make an
on-site pre-pour inspection of the foundation (Sec. 110.3.2). (This although not actually
written in the code, this has been a long standing practice in many north Texas cities).
Item 14
Page 5 of 10
An amendment requiring a licensed design profession (e.g. licensed engineer or architect)
to make an on-site structural framing inspection (Sec. 110.3.4). (This is a new proposed
amendment for the Town).
An amendment that replaces the Board of Appeals procedures as written in the I-Codes with
the Towns current Board of Appeals procedures (Sec. 113.1).
2012 International Building Code (IBC) Changes
An amendment changing the definition of a high-rise building from 75 feet above the lowest
level of fire department access to 55 feet above the lowest level of fire department access
(Sec. 202). (To define high-rise, as it influences sprinkler requirement thresholds based on
the fire-fighting capabilities of a jurisdiction).
An amendment requiring smoke proof enclosure requirements be enforced within buildings
that are 55 feet above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access instead of 75 feet
above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access (Sec. 403.5.4). (This amendment is
necessary to coordinate with the amended definition of a high-rise building).
An amendment changing the address identification requirement of 4 inch address letter on
commercial building to 6 inches (Sec. 501.2). (This amendment is necessary to comply with
the Town’s current policy for address identification).
An amendment addressing elevator lobby requirements in buildings over 55 feet above the
lowest level of fire department vehicle access instead of 75 feet above the lowest level of
fire department access (Sec. 713.14.1). (This amendment is necessary to coordinate with
the amended definition of a high-rise building).
An amendment requiring Group-R occupancies, with the exception of R-3 (i.e. single family
dwellings), to have a fire sprinkler throughout all buildings with a Group-R fire area
(903.2.8). (This is the Town’s current sprinkler requirement for Group-R occupancy types; it
was previously approved in the 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring self-service storage facilities to have a fire sprinkler system
installed throughout (Sec. 903.2.9.3). (This is the Town’s current sprinkler requirement for
self-service storage facilities; it was previously approved in the 2006 code adoption
process).
An amendment requiring buildings over 35 feet in height with an occupant load of 30 or
more persons to have a fire sprinkler system installed throughout (Sec. 903.2.11.3). (This is
the Town’s current sprinkler requirement for buildings 35 feet in height; it was previously
approved in the 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring buildings with high-piled combustible storage in excess of 12 feet
to have a fire sprinkler system installed throughout (Sec. 903.2.11.7). (This is the Town’s
current sprinkler requirement for high-piled storage building; it was previously approved in
the 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring spray booths and spray rooms to be protected by a fire sprinkler
system (Sec. 903.2.11.8). (This is the Town’s current sprinkler requirement for spray booths
and spray rooms; it was previously approved in the 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring commercial buildings over 5,000 square feet in gross floor area to
install a fire sprinkler system throughout (Sec. 903.2.11.9). (This is the Town’s current
Item 14
Page 6 of 10
sprinkler requirement for commercial buildings over 5,000 square feet; it was previously
approved in the 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment added to provide for melting snow and ice protection when roofs are
constructed adjacent to entry and exit ways (Sec 1503.7). (This amendment is added to
provide protection for commercial buildings from melting snow and ice).
An amendment requiring that all roof coverings have a minimum Class-C rating (Sec.
1505.1). (This amendment is to establish a higher flame spread protection of roofing
installed materials).
An amendment that requires retaining walls that are 36 inches in height be designed by a
professional engineer (Sec. 1807.2.2). (This amendment, although not currently written in
the code, is the Town’s current retaining wall policy).
2012 International Residential Code (IRC) Changes
An amendment that fills in design criteria in Table R301.2(1) for regional ground snow load,
wind design, seismic design category, weathering, frost line depth, termite, winter design
temperature, ice barrier underlayment, flood hazards, air freezing index and mean annual
temperature. (This information was taken, for consistency, from the North Central Texas
Council of Governments recommendations; this amendment was previously approved in the
2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring all one and two-family dwellings that are 5,500 square feet of air-
conditioned floor space or greater, dwellings 3 stories or greater in height, or dwellings with
roof heights exceeding 35 feet in height must have fire sprinklers installed in accordance
with NFPA 13D of NFPA 13 (Sec R313.2). (This amendment was previously approved in
the 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring that all roof coverings have a minimum Class-C rating (Sec.
R902.3). (This amendment is to establish a higher flame spread protection of roofing
installed materials).
An amendment adding a definition to establish “Glazing Area” (Sec. N1101.9). (This
amendment serves to coordinate with the design criteria of energy code requirements).
An amendment establishing wood frame wall R-value for climate zone 3 at R-13 (Table
N1102.1.1). (The Town’s current requirement for wall R-value is 13; in the 2012 Residential
Code the proposed requirement is increased R 13+5 which is not a currently common
practice in Texas. The North Central Texas Council of Governments proposes that Cities in
North Texas Cities keep the wall R-values at 13 for consistency).
An amendment changing the wood frame wall u-factor for climate zone 3 to 0.082 (Table
N1102.1.1). (The Town’s current requirement for wall U-value is 0.082; in the 2012
Residential Code the proposed requirement is increased (inversely) 0.057 which is not a
currently common practice in Texas. The North Central Texas Council of Governments
proposes that Cities in North Texas Cities keep the wall U-values at 0.082 for consistency).
An amendment requiring a permanent pull-down-stair with a minimum 300-pound capacity
to access attic appliances (Sec. M1305.1.3). (This amendment was previously approved in
the Prosper 2006 code adoption process).
Item 14
Page 7 of 10
An amendment requiring the minimum burial depth of underground gas piping systems be a
minimum of 18 inches below grade (Sec. G2415.12). (This amendment, although not
currently written in the code, is the Town’s current policy for gas piping burial depth. The
2012 IRC as currently written would allow this minimum depth be reduced to 12 inches).
An amendment requiring the minimum burial depth of underground gas piping for individual
outside appliances be a minimum of 12 inches below grade (Sec. G2415.12.1). (This
amendment, although not currently written in the code, is the Town’s current policy for gas
piping burial depth for individual outside appliances. The 2012 IRC as currently written
would allow this minimum depth be reduced to 8 inches).
An amendment establishing when back flow prevention valves (e.g. double check-valves)
will be tested as required by the Town’s policies (Sec. P2603.8.2).
An amendment requiring building sewer lines have a minimum burial depth of 12 inches
(Sec. P2603.5.1).
An amendment requiring that temperature and pressure relief drain, when terminating
outside, be no less than 6 inches above grade and not more than 24 inches above grade
(Sec. P2803.6.1). (This amendment, although not currently written in the code, is the
Town’s current policy for T&P drain terminations).
An amendment permitting double check valve assemblies to serve as adequate back flow
protection between a potable water source and a lawn irrigation system (Sec. P2902.5.3).
An amendment that establishes the minimum size for electrical conductors for feeders and
branch circuits to be a minimum number 12 AWG copper and number 6 AWG aluminum
(Sec. E3406.3). (This amendment was previously approved in the Prosper 2006 code
adoption process; electrical code).
2012 International Plumbing Code (IPC) Changes
An amendment requiring the minimum burial depth of building sewer lines to be a minimum
of 12 inches below finished grade (Sec. 305.4.1). (This amendment, although not currently
written in the code, is the Town’s current policy for sewer line burial).
An amendment establishing when back flow prevention valves (e.g. double check-valves)
will be inspected as required by the Town’s policies (Sec. 312.10.1).
An amendment establishing when back flow prevention valves (e.g. double check-valves)
will be tested as required by the Town’s policies (Sec. 312.10.2).
An amendment requiring a permanent pull-down-stair with a minimum 300-pound capacity
to access attic water heaters (Sec. 502.3). (A similar amendment was previously approved
in the IRC-Prosper 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring vent pipe terminations to extend a minimum of 6 inches above the
roof (Sec. 903.1). (This amendment, although not currently written in the code, is the
Town’s current policy for vent terminations).
2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) Changes
An amendment adding a definition to establish “Glazing Area” (Sec. C202). (This
amendment serves to coordinate with the design criteria of energy code requirements).
Item 14
Page 8 of 10
An amendment establishing wood frame wall R-value for climate zone 3 at R-13 (Table
R402.1.1). (The Town’s current requirement for wall R-value is 13; in the 2012 Energy Code
the proposed requirement is increased R 13+5 which is not a currently common practice in
Texas. The North Central Texas Council of Governments proposes that Cities in North
Texas Cities keep the wall R-values at 13 for consistency).
An amendment changing the wood frame wall u-factor for climate zone 3 to 0.082 (Table
R402.1.3). (The Town’s current requirement for wall U-value is 0.082; in the 2012 Energy
Code the proposed requirement is increased (inversely) 0.057 which is not a currently
common practice in Texas. The North Central Texas Council of Governments proposes that
Cities in North Texas Cities keep the wall U-values at 0.082 for consistency).
An amendment requiring insulation be installed in walls, such as in attics, in an approved
method ensuring its placement be secured to prevent it from dislodging as a result from
attic-drafts, building settling and similar actions. (This amendment was previously approved
in the Prosper 2006 code adoption process).
2012 International Mechanical Code (IMC) Changes
An amendment requiring a permanent pull-down-stair with a minimum 300 pound capacity
to access attic appliances (Sec. 306.3). (This amendment was previously approved in the
Prosper 2006 code adoption process).
2012 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) Changes
An amendment requiring a permanent pull-down-stair with a minimum 300-pound capacity
to access attic appliances (Sec. 306.3). (This amendment was previously approved in the
Prosper 2006 code adoption process).
An amendment requiring the minimum burial depth of underground gas piping systems be a
minimum of 18 inches below grade (Sec. 404.12). (This amendment, although not currently
written in the code, is the Town’s current policy for gas piping burial depth. The 2012 IFGC
as currently written would allow this minimum depth be reduced to 12 inches).
An amendment requiring the minimum burial depth of underground gas piping for individual
outside appliances be a minimum of 12 inches below grade (Sec. 404.12.1). (This
amendment, although not currently written in the code, is the Town’s current policy for gas
piping burial depth for individual outside appliances. The 2012 IFGC as currently written
would allow this minimum depth be reduced to 8 inches).
2011 National Electrical Code (NEC) Changes
An amendment defining that individual service disconnecting means in multi-tenant buildings
are limited to six for each tenant-occupant space (Article 230.71). (This is a North Central
Texas Council of Governments recommended amendment, their reasoning: this is currently
the accepted installation practice of the region. This also allows designers more flexibility in
the placement of electrical meters and main service disconnects.)
Item 14
Page 9 of 10
An amendment that establishes the minimum size for electrical conductors for feeders and
branch circuits to be a minimum number 12 AWG copper and number 6 AWG aluminum
(Article 310.106). (This amendment was previously approved in the Prosper 2006 code
adoption process).
An amendment adopting Annex H and replacing the entire article with an amended version
of ICC-chapter (e.g. the 2012 IPC-version) one “Scope, Application and Administration” to
coordinate with the administrative requirements of the ICC-Code series and Town’s
established administrative requirements.
Town staff proposes an effective enforcement date of October 1, 2014, to allow staff adequate
time to notify our building community of the proposed changes.

Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Bryan Ausenbaugh, Fire Marshal
Through: Harlan Jefferson, Town Manager
Re: Town Council Meeting – July 22, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon an ordinance adopting the 2012 edition of the International Fire Code
with North Central Texas Council of Governments Recommended Amendments, local
amendments, and to repeal certain provisions contained in Ordinance No. 04-98 (existing fire
code ordinance) not related to residential fire suppression.
Description of Agenda Item:
The purpose of the 2012 International Fire Code is to establish the minimum requirements
consistent with nationally recognized good practices for providing a reasonable level of life
safety and property protection from the hazards of fire, explosion or dangerous conditions in
new and existing buildings, structures and premises, and to provide safety to fire fighters and
emergency responders during emergency operations.
Background Information:
In 2009, the Fire Department prepared a proposed ordinance that would have adopted the 2009
International Fire Code. However, an unexpected occurrence took place prior to bringing the
ordinance to Town Council, that occurrence being Governor Perry signing SB 1410. The
language of SB 1410 effectively prohibits a city/town from enacting fire sprinkler mandates in
single family homes, duplexes, and remodeling projects, unless the ordinance was in effect prior
to September 1, 2009. Prior to this SB, local authorities had the authority to enact local
amendments to the fire code requiring residential fire suppression at their discretion. At that
time, the decision was made to stand by and see how other jurisdictions addressed this matter.
Since SB 1410 went into effect, several jurisdictions have partially repealed their respective
ordinances in effect prior to September 1, 2009, leaving the provisions specific to residential fire
protection in place, and adopted a separate ordinance specific to a more current edition of the
International Fire Code.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Terrence Welch of Brown & Hofmeister, L.L.P., has reviewed the ordinance as to form and
legality.
Attached Documents:
1. Proposed 2012 IFC ordinance
2. Existing 2003 IFC ordinance

Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends that the Town Council consider and act upon an ordinance adopting
the 2012 edition of the International Fire Code, including the North Central Texas Council of
Governments recommendations and local amendments. Town staff also recommends the
repeal of certain provisions contained in Ordinance No. 04-98 not related to residential fire
suppression.
Proposed Motion:
I move to adopt an ordinance adopting the 2012 edition of the International Fire Code, including
the North Central Texas Council of Governments recommendations, local amendments, and to
repeal certain provisions contained in Ordinance No. 04-98 not related to residential fire
suppression.

Item 15
North Central Texas 5 September 2007
2006 IFC Amendments
**Section 503.1.1; add the following sentence to the first paragraph:
Except for single- or two-family residences, the path of measurement shall be along a minimum of a ten
feet (10’) wide unobstructed pathway around the external walls of the structure.
(Reason: Recognizes that the hose lay provision can only be measured along a pathway that is wide
enough for fire fighter access.)
**Section 503.2.1; change to read as follows:
503.2.1 Dimensions. Fire apparatus access roads shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20
24 feet (6096 mm 7315mm), except for approved security gates in accordance with Section 503.6, and an

Exception: Vertical clearance may be reduced, provided such reduction does not impair access
by fire apparatus and approved signs are installed and maintained indicating the established
vertical clearance when approved.
**Section 503.2.2; change to read as follows:
503.2.2 Authority. The fire code official shall have the authority to require an increase in the minimum
access widths and vertical clearances where they are inadequate for fire or rescue operations.
(Reason: Amendments to 503.2.1 and 503.2.2 recognize that the equipment now used in fire fighting is
increasing in size. The code already recognizes that larger dimensions may be required under Section
503.2.2. The amendments are to standardize the dimensions for this area. With the increase in fire
apparatus size, this will allow for the passage of two fire apparatus during a fire or EMS emergency.)
**Section 503.3; change to read as follows:
503.3 Marking. Striping, signs, or other markings, when approved by the code official, shall be provided
for fire apparatus access roads to identify such roads or prohibit the obstruction thereof. Striping, signs

traffic paint six inches (6”) in width to show the boundaries of the lane. The words “NO PARKING
FIRE LANE” or "FIRE LANE NO PARKING” shall appear in four inch (4”) white letters at 25 feet
intervals on the red border markings along both sides of the fire lanes. Where a curb is available,
the striping shall be on the vertical face of the curb.
(2) Signs – Signs shall read “NO PARKING FIRE LANE” or "FIRE LANE NO PARKING” and
shall be 12” wide and 18” high. Signs shall be painted on a white background with letters and
borders in red, using not less than 2” lettering. Signs shall be permanently affixed to a stationary
post and the bottom of the sign shall be six feet, six inches (6’6”) above finished grade. Signs
shall be spaced not more than fifty feet (50’) apart. Signs may be installed on permanent
buildings or walls or as approved by the Fire Chief.
(Reason: Establishes a standard method of marking.)
Item 15
North Central Texas 6 September 2007
2006 IFC Amendments
**Section 503.4; change to read as follows:
503.4 Obstruction of fire apparatus access roads. Fire apparatus access roads shall not be
obstructed in any manner, including the parking of vehicles. The minimum widths and clearances
established in Section 503.2.1 and any area marked as a fire lane as described in Section 503.3 shall be
maintained at all times.
(Reason: As originally worded, it implied that vehicles could be parked in the marked fire lane and not be
in violation if the minimum width is still maintained. Current accepted enforcement practice is to require
all of the marked fire lane to be maintained clear and unobstructed.)
***Section 505.1; replace to read as follows:
505.1 Address numbers. Approved numerals of a minimum 6” height and of a color contrasting with the
background designating the address shall be placed on all new and existing buildings or structures in a
position as to be plainly visible and legible from the street or road fronting the property and from all rear

inches.
Exception: R-3 Single Family occupancies shall have approved numerals of a minimum 3 ½
inches in height and a color contrasting with the background clearly visible and legible from the
street fronting the property and rear alleyway where such alleyway exists.
(Reason: To increase the minimum requirements for commercial and establish a minimum for single-
family residential.)
***Add Section 511 Emergency Radio Communications to read as follows:
SECTION 511
EMERGENCY RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
511.1 Signal strength in buildings. In all new and existing buildings in which the type of construction or
distance from an operational emergency services antenna or dispatch site does not provide adequate
frequency or signal strength as determined by the code official, the building owner shall be responsible
for providing the equipment, installation and maintenance of said equipment in a manner to strengthen
the radio signal. The radio signal shall meet the minimum input / output strengths according to the
emergency radio system’s provider and system manager.
(Reason: Ensure proper communication inside the building during emergency operations.)

2006 IFC Amendments
**Section 704.1; change to read as follows:
704.1 Enclosure. Interior vertical shafts, including but not limited to stairways, elevator hoistways,
service and utility shafts, that connect two or more stories of a building shall be enclosed or protected in
accordance with the codes in effect at the time of construction but, regardless of when constructed, not
less than as specified in Table 704.1.
(Reason: Provides standard minimum protection retroactively, but clarifies that this section is not to be
used to reduce higher protection levels that were required when originally constructed.)
*** Section 807.4.3.2 and Section 807.4.4.2; add an exception to read as follows:
Exception: Corridors protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system installed in
accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 shall be limited to 50 percent of the wall area.
(Reason: This change allows an increase in wall coverage due to the presence of sprinklers.)
***Section 901.6.1; add section to read as follows:
901.6.1.1 Standpipe Testing. Building owners/managers must utilize a licensed fire protection
contractor to test and certify standpipe systems. In addition to the testing and maintenance requirements
of NFPA 25 applying to standpipe systems, the following additional requirements shall be applied to the
testing that is required every 5 years:
1. The piping between the Fire Department Connection (FDC) and the standpipe shall be
hydrostatically tested for all FDC’s on any type of standpipe system. Hydrostatic testing shall also
be conducted in accordance with NFPA 25 requirements for the different types of standpipe
systems.
2. For any manual (dry or wet) standpipe system not having an automatic water supply capable of
flowing water through the standpipe, the contractor shall connect hose from a fire hydrant or
portable pumping system (as approved by the fire code official) to each FDC, and flow water
through the standpipe system to the roof outlet to verify that each inlet connection functions
properly. There is no required pressure criteria at the outlet. Verify that check valves function
properly and that there are no closed control valves on the system.
3. Any pressure relief, reducing, or control valves shall be tested in accordance with the requirements
of NFPA 25.
4. If the FDC is not already provided with approved caps, the contractor shall install such caps for all
FDC’s. Contact the Fire Marshal for additional information.
5. Upon successful completion of standpipe test, the contractor shall place a blue tag (as per “Texas
Administrative Code, Title 28. Insurance, Part I. Texas Department of Insurance, Chapter 34.
State Fire Marshal, Subchapter G. Fire Sprinkler Rules, 28 TAC § 34.720. Inspection, Test and
Maintenance Service (ITM) Tag”) at the bottom of each standpipe riser in the building. An example
of this tag is located at the end of this SOP. The tag shall be check-marked as “Fifth Year” for Type
of ITM, and the note on the back of the tag shall read “5 Year Standpipe Test” at a minimum.
6. The contractor shall follow the procedures as required by “Texas Administrative Code, Title 28.
Insurance, Part I. Texas Department of Insurance, Chapter 34. State Fire Marshal, Subchapter G.
Fire Sprinkler Rules, 28 TAC” with regard to Yellow Tags and Red Tags or any deficiencies noted
Item 15
North Central Texas 8 September 2007
2006 IFC Amendments
during the testing, including the required notification of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (Fire
Marshal).
7. Additionally, records of the testing shall be maintained by the owner and contractor, as required
by the State Rules mentioned above and NFPA 25.
8. Standpipe system tests where water will be flowed external to the building shall not be conducted
during freezing conditions or during the day prior to expected night time freezing conditions.
9. Contact the Fire Marshal for requests to remove existing fire hose from Class II and III standpipe
systems where employees are not trained in the utilization of this fire fighting equipment. All
standpipe hose valves must remain in place and be provided with an approved cap and chain when
approval is given to remove hose by the fire code official.
(Reason: Increases the reliability of the fire protection system and re-emphasizes the requirements of
NFPA 25.)
**Section 901.7; amend to read as follows:
901.7 Systems out of service. Where a required fire protection system is out of service or in the event
of an excessive number of activations, the fire department and the code official shall be notified
immediately and, where required by the code official, the building shall either be evacuated or an
approved fire watch shall be provided for all occupants left unprotected by the shut down until the fire
protection system has been returned to service.
(Reason: Gives Fire Chief more discretion. Requires adoption of definition amendment in Section 202.)
**Section 903.2; delete the exception.
(Reason: These areas pose a fire risk to the structural integrity of the building.)
**Add Section 903.2.8.3 to read as follows:
903.2.8.3 Self-service storage facility. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout all
self-service storage facilities.
Exception: One-story self-service storage facilities that have no interior corridors, with a one-
hour fire barrier separation wall installed between every storage compartment.
(Reason: Fire departments are unable to inspect these commercial occupancies and are unaware of the
contents being stored.)

to be discretionary to each city to determine which chapter 1 amendments to include. Note that
Appendices must be specifically adopted by Ordinance. See Sample Ordinance on Page xiii of 2009 IFC.
Also, note that several sections of the code, as indicated in the Sample Ordinance, require jurisdictional
specificity as to dollar amounts, geographic limits, etc.
***Section 102.1; change #3 to read as follows:
3. Existing structures, facilities and conditions when required in Chapter 46 or in specific sections of
this code.
(Reason: To clarify that there are other provisions in the fire code applicable to existing buildings that are
not located in Chapter 46, such as Section 510 Emergency Responder Radio Coverage.)
**Section 102.7; change to read as follows:
102.7 Referenced codes and standards. The codes and standards referenced in this code shall be
those that are listed in Chapter 45 47 and such codes, when specifically adopted, and standards shall be
considered part of the requirements of this code to the prescribed extent of each such reference. Where
differences occur between the provisions of this code and the referenced standards, the provisions of this
code shall apply. Whenever amendments have been adopted to the referenced codes and standards,
each reference to said code and standard shall be considered to reference the amendments as well. Any
reference to NFPA 70 or the ICC Electrical Code shall mean the Electrical Code as adopted.
(Reason: To be consistent with the State of Texas, other referenced codes must be specifically adopted.)

accordance with all requirements of Section 3404.2.9.5.1 and Chapter 34. of Class II or III liquid for
storage in protected above-ground tanks... {Delete remainder of Exception}
(Reason: Section 3404.2.9.5.1 is included in this amendment package.)
***Section 603.3.2.2; change to read as follows:
603.3.2.2 Restricted use and connection. Tanks installed in accordance with Section 603.3.2 shall be
used only to supply fuel oil to fuel-burning or generator equipment installed in accordance with Section
603.3.2.4. Connections between tanks and equipment supplied by such tanks shall be made using
closed piping systems.
(Reason: Relocate the exception to Chapter 34 for applicability to generator sets, due to contradictory
charging statement in 603.1 to not apply to internal combustion engines. Further, such large quantities of
combustible liquid are more thoroughly addressed in Chapter 34 relative to such tanks.)
***Section 704.1; change to read as follows:
704.1 Enclosure. Interior vertical shafts, including but not limited to stairways, elevator hoistways,
service and utility shafts, that connect two or more stories of a building shall be enclosed or protected in

general. An applicant could pursue an Alternate Method request to help mitigate the reliability issues with
these alternative systems with the fire code official if so desired. This also meets with local practices in
the region.)
***Section 903.2; add the following:
903.2 Where required. Approved automatic sprinkler systems in new buildings and structures shall be
provided in the locations described in Sections 903.2.1 through 903.2.12. Automatic Sprinklers shall not
be installed in elevator machine rooms, elevator machine spaces, and elevator hoistways. Storage shall
not be allowed within the elevator machine room. Signage shall be provided at the entry doors to the
elevator machine room indicating “ELEVATOR MACHINERY – NO STORAGE ALLOWED.”
(Reason: Firefighter safety. This amendment eliminates the shunt trip requirement of the International
Building Code Section 3006.5 for the purpose of elevator passenger and firefighter safety. This
amendment is contingent on the Building Code amendment eliminating the Exceptions to Section 3006.4,
such that passive fire barriers for these areas are maintained. This also meets with local practices in the
region.)
***Section 903.2; delete the exception.
(Reason: The exception deletion is due to the fact that such telecom areas pose an undue fire risk to the
structural integrity of the building. This also meets with local practices in the region.)
**Section 903.2.9; add Section 903.2.9.3 to read as follows:
903.2.9.3 Self-service storage facility. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout all
self-service storage facilities.
Exception: One-story self-service storage facilities that have no interior corridors, with a one-hour fire
barrier separation wall installed between every storage compartment.
(Reason: Fire departments are unable to inspect these commercial occupancies and are unaware of the
contents being stored.)

Recommended Amendments to the
2012 International Fire Code
North Central Texas Council of Governments region
The following sections, paragraphs, and sentences of the 2012 International Fire Code are hereby
amended as follows: Standard type is text from the IFC. Underlined type is text inserted. Lined through
type is deleted text from IFC.)
Note: Historically, NCTCOG has limited Chapter 1 amendments in order to allow each city to insert their
local policies and procedures. We now have suggested certain items to be brought to the attention of
cities considering adoption of the code that may be of concern to several jurisdictions. It is still intended
to be discretionary to each city to determine which Chapter 1 amendments to include. Note that
Appendices must be specifically adopted by Ordinance. See Sample Ordinance on Page xii of 2012 IFC.
Also, note that several sections of the code, as indicated in the Sample Ordinance, require jurisdictional
specificity as to dollar amounts, geographic limits, etc.
Section 102.1; change #3 to read as follows:
3. Existing structures, facilities and conditions when required in Chapter 11 or in specific sections of

assembly reaches 1,000, then the code requires five trained crowd managers for an occupant load of
1001. Smaller venues sometimes place the public at greater risk than large ones for many reasons,
including the fact that larger facilities have greater requirements for other fire protection features. The
formatting change to place the potential reduction in the number of crowd managers in an exception is
editorial; the exception was also changed to limit the reduction to half of the required number of crowd
managers. The published code requires “trained crowd managers”, but doesn’t provide any guidance or
describe what that training should entail. This has been an ongoing issue for enforcement personnel.)
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
Section 501.4; change to read as follows:
501.4 Timing of installation. When fire apparatus access roads or a water supply for fire protection is
required to be installed for any structure or development, they shall be installed, tested, and approved
prior to the time of which construction has progressed beyond completion of the foundation of any
structure. , such protection shall be installed and made serviceable prior to and during the time of
construction except when approved alternative methods of protection are provided. Temporary street
signs shall be installed at each street intersection when construction of new roadways allows passage by
vehicles in accordance with Section 505.2.
(Reason: Reflects current practice in the region relative to ensuring fire department and EMS access
during construction, which can be a time of increased frequency for emergency incidents.)
Section 503.1.1; add sentence to read as follows:
Except for one- or two-family dwellings, the path of measurement shall be along a minimum of a ten feet
(10’) wide unobstructed pathway around the external walls of the structure.
(Reason: Recognizes that the hose lay provision can only be measured along a pathway that is wide
enough for fire fighter access.)
Section 503.2.1; change to read as follows:
503.2.1 Dimensions. Fire apparatus access roads shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20
24 feet (6096 mm 7315 mm), exclusive of shoulders, except for approved security gates in accordance
with Section 503.6, and an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than 13 feet 6 inches (4115 mm)
14 feet (4267 mm).
Exception: Vertical clearance may be reduced; provided such reduction does not impair access by
fire apparatus and approved signs are installed and maintained indicating the established vertical
clearance when approved.
(Reason: Amendments to 503.2.1 and 503.2.2 recognize that the equipment now used in firefighting is
increasing in size. The code already recognizes that larger dimensions may be required under Section
503.2.2. The amendments are to standardize the dimensions for this area. With the increase in fire
apparatus size, this will allow for the passage of two fire apparatus during a fire or EMS emergency.)
Section 503.2.2; change to read as follows:
503.2.2 Authority. The fire code official shall have the authority to require an increase in the minimum
access widths and vertical clearances where they are inadequate for fire or rescue operations.
(Reason: Amendments to 503.2.1 and 503.2.2 recognize that the equipment now used in fire fighting is
increasing in size. The code already recognizes that larger dimensions may be required under Section
503.2.2. The amendments are to standardize the dimensions for this area. With the increase in fire
apparatus size, this will allow for the passage of two fire apparatus during a fire or EMS emergency.)
Section 503.3; change to read as follows:
503.3 Marking. Where required by the fire code official, approved signs or other approved notices or
markings that include the words NO PARKING – FIRE LANE Striping, signs, or other markings, when
approved by the fire code official, shall be provided for fire apparatus access roads to identify such roads
or prohibit the obstruction thereof. The means by which fire lanes are designated Striping, signs and
other markings shall be maintained in a clean and legible condition at all times and be replaced or
repaired when necessary to provide adequate visibility.
(1) Striping – Fire apparatus access roads shall be continuously marked by painted lines of red traffic
paint six inches (6”) in width to show the boundaries of the lane. The words “NO PARKING FIRE
LANE” or "FIRE LANE NO PARKING” shall appear in four inch (4”) white letters at 25 feet intervals on
the red border markings along both sides of the fire lanes. Where a curb is available, the striping
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
shall be on the vertical face of the curb.
(2) Signs – Signs shall read “NO PARKING FIRE LANE” or "FIRE LANE NO PARKING” and shall be
12” wide and 18” high. Signs shall be painted on a white background with letters and borders in red,
using not less than 2” lettering. Signs shall be permanently affixed to a stationary post and the
bottom of the sign shall be six feet, six inches (6’6”) above finished grade. Signs shall be spaced not
more than fifty feet (50’) apart along both sides of the fire lane. Signs may be installed on permanent
buildings or walls or as approved by the Fire Chief.
(Reason: Establishes a standard method of marking and reflects local long-standing practices.)
Section 503.4; change to read as follows:
503.4 Obstruction of fire apparatus access roads. Fire apparatus access roads shall not be
obstructed in any manner, including the parking of vehicles. The minimum widths and clearances
established in Section 503.2.1 and any area marked as a fire lane as described in Section 503.3 shall be
maintained at all times.
(Reason: As originally worded, the section implied that vehicles could be parked in the marked fire lane
and not be in violation if the minimum width is still maintained. Current accepted enforcement practice is
to require the entire marked fire lane to be maintained clear and unobstructed.)
Section 505.1; change to read as follows:
505.1 Address identification. New and existing buildings shall have approved address numbers,
building numbers or approved building identification placed in a position that is plainly legible and visible
from the street or road fronting the property. These numbers shall contrast with their background. Where
required by the fire code official, address numbers shall be provided in additional approved locations to
facilitate emergency response. Address numbers shall be Arabic numbers or alphabetical letters.
Numbers shall be a minimum of 4 inches (101.6 mm) 6 inches (152.4 mm) high with a minimum stroke
width of 0.5 inch (12.7 mm). Where access is by means of a private road, buildings do not immediately
front a street, and/or the building cannot be viewed from the public way, a monument, pole or other sign
with approved 6 inch (152.4 mm) height building numerals or addresses and 4 inch (101.6 mm) height
suite/apartment numerals of a color contrasting with the background of the building or other approved
means shall be used to identify the structure. Numerals or addresses shall be posted on a minimum 20
inch (508 mm) by 30 inch (762 mm) background on border. Address numbers shall be maintained.
Exception: R-3 Single Family occupancies shall have approved numerals of a minimum 3 ½
inches (88.9 mm) in height and a color contrasting with the background clearly visible and legible
from the street fronting the property and rear alleyway where such alleyway exists.
(Reason: To increase the minimum addressing requirements for commercial and establish a minimum for
single-family residential.)
Section 507.4; change to read as follows:
507.4 Water supply test date and information. The water supply test used for hydraulic calculation of
fire protection systems shall be conducted in accordance with NFPA 291 “Recommended Practice for Fire
Flow Testing and Marking of Hydrants” and within one year of sprinkler plan submittal. The fire code
official shall be notified prior to the water supply test. Water supply tests shall be witnessed by the fire
code official, as required or approved documentation of the test shall be provided to the fire code official
prior to final approval of the water supply system. The exact location of the static/residual hydrant and the
flow hydrant shall be indicated on the design drawings. All fire protection plan submittals shall be
accompanied by a hard copy of the waterflow test report, or as approved by the fire code official. The
report must indicate the dominant water tank level at the time of the test and the maximum and minimum
operating levels of the tank, as well, or identify applicable water supply fluctuation. The licensed
contractor must then design the fire protection system based on this fluctuation information, as per the
applicable referenced NFPA standard. Reference Section 903.3.5 for additional design requirements.
(Reason: Clarifies intent of the test to ensure contractor accounts for water supply fluctuations.)
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
Section 507.5.4; change to read as follows:
507.5.4 Obstruction. Unobstructed access to fire hydrants shall be maintained at all times. Posts,
fences, vehicles, growth, trash, storage and other materials or objects shall not be placed or kept near fire
hydrants, fire department inlet connections or fire protection system control valves in a manner that would
prevent such equipment or fire hydrants from being immediately discernible. The fire department shall not
be deterred or hindered from gaining immediate access to fire protection equipment or fire hydrants.
(Reason: Maintains wording from 2006 Code to ensure these critical devices are available in an
emergency incident.)
Section 509.1.2; add new Section 509.1.2 to read as follows:
509.1.2 Sign Requirements. Unless more stringent requirements apply, lettering for signs required by
this section shall have a minimum height of 2 inches (50.8 mm) when located inside a building and 4
inches (101.6 mm) when located outside, or as approved by the fire code official. The letters shall be of a
color that contrasts with the background.
(Reason: Provides direction as to appropriate sign criteria to develop consistency in this regard.)
Section 603.3.2.1, Exception; change exception to read as follows:
Exception: The aggregate capacity limit shall be permitted to be increased to 3,000 gallons (11,356 L) in
accordance with all requirements of Chapter 57. of Class II or III liquid for storage in protected above-
ground tanks... {Delete remainder of Exception}
(Reason: Change to Section 5704.2.9.5 is included in this amendment package.)
Section 603.3.2.2; change to read as follows:
603.3.2.2 Restricted use and connection. Tanks installed in accordance with Section 603.3.2 shall be
used only to supply fuel oil to fuel-burning or generator equipment installed in accordance with Section
603.3.2.4. Connections between tanks and equipment supplied by such tanks shall be made using
closed piping systems.
(Reason: Relocate the exception to Chapter 57 for applicability to generator sets, due to contradictory
charging statement in 603.1 to not apply to internal combustion engines. Further, such large quantities of
combustible liquid are more thoroughly addressed in Chapter 57 relative to such tanks.)
Section 604; change to read as follows:
SECTION 604
EMERGENCY AND STANDBY POWER SYSTEMS
604.1 Installation. Emergency and standby power systems required by this code or the International
Building Code shall be installed in accordance with this code, NFPA 110 and 111. Existing installations

604.3 4 Maintenance. (no change).
604.4 5 Operational inspection and testing. (no change).
604.5 6 Emergency lighting equipment. (no change).
604.6 7 Supervision of maintenance and testing. (no change).
(Reason: These provisions provide a list to complete and match that throughout the codes. IBC Section
2702.13 “pyrophoric materials” no longer exists in IFC Section 604. The only new items are the reference
to COPS in NFPA 70, and the specified Energy time duration. Other changes are a reference to a code
provision that already exists.)
Section 704.1; change to read as follows:
704.1 Enclosure. Interior vertical shafts, including but not limited to stairways, elevator hoistways,
service and utility shafts, that connect two or more stories of a building shall be enclosed or protected in
accordance with the codes in effect at the time of construction but, regardless of when constructed, not
less than as required in Chapter 11. New floor openings in existing buildings shall comply with the
International Building Code.
(Reason: Provides standard minimum protection retroactively, but clarifies that this section is not to be
used to reduce higher protection levels that were required when originally constructed.)
Section 807.4.3.2; change to read as follows:
807.4.3.2 Artwork. Artwork and teaching materials shall be limited on the walls of corridors to not more
than 20 percent of the wall area and on the walls of classrooms to not more than 50 percent of each wall
area. Such materials shall not be continuous from floor to ceiling or wall to wall.
Curtains, draperies, wall hangings and other decorative material suspended from the walls or ceilings
shall meet the flame propagation performance criteria of NFPA 701 in accordance with Section 807 or be
noncombustible.
Exception: Corridors protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance
with Section 903.3.1.1 shall be limited to 50 percent of the wall area.
(Reason: Consistent with regional practice. This change allows an increase in wall coverage due to the
presence of sprinklers. Also provides additional guidance relative to acceptable amounts of artwork in
classrooms.)
Section 807.4.4.2; change to read as follows:
807.4.4.2 Artwork. Artwork and teaching materials shall be limited on the walls of corridors to not more
than 20 percent of the wall area and on the walls of classrooms to not more than 50 percent of each wall
area. Such materials shall not be continuous from floor to ceiling or wall to wall.
Curtains, draperies, wall hangings and other decorative material suspended from the walls or ceilings
shall meet the flame propagation performance criteria of NFPA 701 in accordance with Section 807 or be
noncombustible.
Exception: Corridors protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
with Section 903.3.1.1 shall be limited to 50 percent of the wall area.
(Reason: Consistent with regional practice. This change allows an increase in wall coverage due to the
presence of sprinklers. Also provides additional guidance relative to acceptable amounts of artwork in
classrooms.)
Section 901.4.3; change to read as follows:
901.4.3 Fire areas. {First part of section unchanged} …determined in accordance with Section 707.3.910
of the International Building Code.
(Reason: Errata – see ICC website for more information - incorrect section number is referenced in the
published code as 707.3.9, which applies to mixed use occupancy separation, rather than fire area
separation for sprinkler purposes.)
Section 901.6.1; add Section 901.6.1.1 to read as follows:
901.6.1.1 Standpipe Testing. Building owners/managers must maintain and test standpipe systems as
per NFPA 25 requirements. The following additional requirements shall be applied to the testing that is
required every 5 years:
1. The piping between the Fire Department Connection (FDC) and the standpipe shall be backflushed
when foreign material is present, and also hydrostatically tested for all FDC’s on any type of
standpipe system. Hydrostatic testing shall also be conducted in accordance with NFPA 25
requirements for the different types of standpipe systems.
2. For any manual (dry or wet) standpipe system not having an automatic water supply capable of
flowing water through the standpipe, the tester shall connect hose from a fire hydrant or portable
pumping system (as approved by the fire code official) to each FDC, and flow water through the
standpipe system to the roof outlet to verify that each inlet connection functions properly. Confirm
that there are no open hose valves prior to introducing water into a dry standpipe. There is no
required pressure criteria at the outlet. Verify that check valves function properly and that there are
no closed control valves on the system.
3. Any pressure relief, reducing, or control valves shall be tested in accordance with the requirements
of NFPA 25. All hose valves shall be exercised.
4. If the FDC is not already provided with approved caps, the contractor shall install such caps for all
FDC’s as required by the fire code official.
5. Upon successful completion of standpipe test, place a blue tag (as per Texas Administrative Code,
Fire Sprinkler Rules for Inspection, Test and Maintenance Service (ITM) Tag) at the bottom of
each standpipe riser in the building. The tag shall be check -marked as “Fifth Year” for Type of ITM,
and the note on the back of the tag shall read “5 Year Standpipe Test” at a minimum.
6. The procedures required by Texas Administrative Code Fire Sprinkler Rules with regard to Yellow
Tags and Red Tags or any deficiencies noted during the testing, including the required
notification of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (fire code official) shall be followed.
7. Additionally, records of the testing shall be maintained by the owner and contractor, if applicable,
as required by the State Rules mentioned above and NFPA 25.
8. Standpipe system tests where water will be flowed external to the building shall not be conducted
during freezing conditions or during the day prior to expected night time freezing conditions.
9. Contact the fire code official for requests to remove existing fire hose from Class II and III standpipe
systems where employees are not trained in the utilization of this firefighting equipment. All
standpipe hose valves must remain in place and be provided with an approved cap and chain when
approval is given to remove hose by the fire code official.
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
(Reason: Increases the reliability of the fire protection system and re-emphasizes the requirements of
NFPA 25 relative to standpipe systems, as well as ensuring that FDC connections are similarly
tested/maintained to ensure operation in an emergency incident.)
Section 901.7; change to read as follows:
901.7 Systems out of service. Where a required fire protection system is out of service or in the event
of an excessive number of activations, the fire department and the fire code official shall be notified
immediately and, where required by the fire code official, the building shall either be evacuated or an
approved fire watch shall be provided for all occupants left unprotected by the shut down until the fire
protection system has been returned to service. …{remaining text unchanged}
(Reason: Gives fire code official more discretion. Requires adoption of definition amendment in Section
202 for fire watch.)
Section 901.9; change Section 901.9 to read as follows:
901.9 Discontinuation or change Termination of monitoringof service. For fire alarm systems
required to be monitored by this code, Notice shall be made to the fire code official whenever contracted
alarm monitoring services for monitoring of any fire alarm system are terminated for any reason, or a
change in alarm monitoring provider occurs. Notice shall be made in writing to the fire code official by the
building owner and monitoring service provider prior to the service being terminated.
(Reason: To ensure the property’s monitored fire alarm system is maintained for proper notification of
emergency response in the event of an emergency incident.)
Section 903.1.1; change to read as follows:
903.1.1 Alternative protection. Alternative automatic fire-extinguishing systems complying with Section
904 shall be permitted in lieu of addition to automatic sprinkler protection where recognized by the
applicable standard and, or as approved by the fire code official.
(Reason: Such alternative systems do not provide the reliability of automatic sprinkler protection in
general. An applicant could pursue an Alternate Method request to help mitigate the reliability issues with
these alternative systems with the fire code official if so desired, or there may be circumstances in which
the fire code official is acceptable to allowing an alternate system in lieu of sprinklers, such as kitchen
hoods or paint booths. This also meets with local practices in the region.)
Section 903.2; add paragraph to read as follows:
Automatic Sprinklers shall not be installed in elevator machine rooms, elevator machine spaces, and
elevator hoistways, other than pits where such sprinklers would not necessitate shunt trip requirements
under any circumstances. Storage shall not be allowed within the elevator machine room. Signage shall
be provided at the entry doors to the elevator machine room indicating “ELEVATOR MACHINERY – NO
STORAGE ALLOWED.”
(Reason: Firefighter and public safety. This amendment eliminates the shunt trip requirement of the
International Building Code Section 3006.5 for the purpose of elevator passenger and firefighter safety.
This amendment is contingent on the Building Code amendment eliminating the Exceptions to Section
3006.4, such that passive fire barriers for these areas are maintained. This also meets with local practices
in the region.)
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
Section 903.2; delete the exception.
(Reason: The exception deletion is due to the fact that such telecom areas pose an undue fire risk to the
structural integrity of the building. This also meets with local practices in the region.)
Section 903.2.9; add Section 903.2.9.3 to read as follows:
903.2.9.3 Self-service storage facility. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout all
self-service storage facilities.
Exception: One-story self-service storage facilities that have no interior corridors, with a one-hour fire
barrier separation wall installed between every storage compartment.
(Reason: Fire departments are unable to inspect these commercial occupancies and are unaware of the
contents being stored. This also meets with local practices in the region.)
Option A
Section 903.2.11; change 903.2.11.3 and add 903.2.11.7, and 903.2.11.8, as follows:
903.2.11.3 Buildings 55 feet or more in height. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed
throughout buildings with a floor level, other than penthouses in compliance with Section 1509 of the

mm) or more above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
Exceptions:
1. Airport control towers.
2. Open parking structures in compliance with Section 406.5 of the International Building
Code.
3. Occupancies in Group F-2.
903.2.11.7 High-Piled Combustible Storage. For any building with a clear height exceeding 12 feet
(4572 mm), see Chapter 32 to determine if those provisions apply.
903.2.11.8 Spray Booths and Rooms. New and existing spray booths and spraying rooms shall be
protected by an approved automatic fire-extinguishing system.
Option B
Section 903.2.11; change 903.2.11.3 and add 903.2.11.7, 903.2.11.8, and 903.2.11.9 as follows:
903.2.11.3 Buildings 55 35 feet or more in height. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed
throughout buildings with a floor level, other than penthouses in compliance with Section 1509 of the
International Building Code, having an occupant load of 30 or more that is located 55 35 feet (16 764
10 668 mm) or more above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.
Exceptions:
1. Airport control towers.
2. Open parking structures in compliance with Section 406.5 of the International Building Code.
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
3. Occupancies in Group F-2.
903.2.11.7 High-Piled Combustible Storage. For any building with a clear height exceeding 12 feet
(4572 mm), see Chapter 32 to determine if those provisions apply.
903.2.11.8 Spray Booths and Rooms. New and existing spray booths and spraying rooms shall be
protected by an approved automatic fire-extinguishing system.
903.2.11.9 Buildings Over 6,000 sq.ft. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout
all buildings with a building area 6,000 sq.ft. or greater and in all existing buildings that are enlarged
to be 6,000 sq. ft. or greater. For the purpose of this provision, fire walls shall not define separate
buildings.
Exception: Open parking garages in compliance with Section 406.5 of the International Building
Code.
(Reason: Reflects regional practices. Provides jurisdictions options as to their desired level of sprinkler
protection based on multiple factors including firefighting philosophies/capabilities.)
Section 903.3.1.1.1; change to read as follows:
903.3.1.1.1 Exempt locations. When approved by the fire code official, automatic sprinklers shall not be
required in the following rooms or areas where such ...{text unchanged}… because it is damp, of fire-
resistance-rated construction or contains electrical equipment.
1. Any room where the application of water, or flame and water, constitutes a serious life or fire
hazard.
2. Any room or space where sprinklers are considered undesirable because of the nature of the
contents, when approved by the code official.
3. Generator and transformer rooms, under the direct control of a public utility, separated from the
remainder of the building by walls and floor/ceiling or roof/ceiling assemblies having a fire-
resistance rating of not less than 2 hours.
4. In rooms or areas that are of noncombustible construction with wholly noncombustible contents.
5. Fire service access Elevator machine rooms, and machinery spaces, and hoistways, other than
pits where such sprinklers would not necessitate shunt trip requirements under any
circumstances.
6. {Delete.}
(Reason: Gives more direction to code official. Exception 4 deleted to provide protection where fire risks
are poorly addressed. Amendment 903.2 addresses Exception 5 above relative to the elimination of
sprinkler protection in these areas to avoid the shunt trip requirement.)
Section 903.3.1.2.2; add section to read as follows:
Section 903.3.1.2.2 Attics, Open Breezeways, and Attached Garages. Sprinkler protection is required
in attic spaces of such buildings two or more stories in height, open breezeways, and attached garages.
(Reason: Open breezeways already require sprinkler protection in Section 1026.6, Exception 4. Attic
protection is required in accordance with existing regional practice and issues with fire exposure via soffit
vents, as well as firefighter safety. Attached garages already require sprinkler via NFPA 13R – re-
emphasis.)

Section 905.9; add a second paragraph after the exceptions to read as follows:
Sprinkler and standpipe system water-flow detectors shall be provided for each floor tap to the sprinkler
system and shall cause an alarm upon detection of water flow for more than 45 seconds. All control
valves in the sprinkler and standpipe systems except for fire department hose connection valves shall be
electrically supervised to initiate a supervisory signal at the central station upon tampering.
(Reason: To avoid significant water losses. Consistent with amendment to IFC 903.4.)
Section 907.1; add Section 907.1.4 to read as follows:
907.1.4 Design standards. All alarm systems new or replacement shall be addressable. Alarm
systems serving more than 20 smoke detectors shall be analog addressable.
Exception: Existing systems need not comply unless the total building remodel or expansion

walking surface level, and
2. Stop any conflicting or confusing sounds and visual distractions.
(Reason: Increases the requirement to be consistent with Group B requirement. Also addresses issue
found in Group A occupancies of reduced lighting levels and other A/V equipment that distracts from fire
alarm notification devices. Also reflects regional practice.)
Section 907.2.3; change to read as follows:
907.2.3 Group E. A manual fire alarm system that initiates the occupant notification signal utilizing an
emergency voice/alarm communication system meeting the requirements of Section 907.5.2.2 and
installed in accordance with Section 907.6 shall be installed in Group E educational occupancies. When
automatic sprinkler systems or smoke detectors are installed, such systems or detectors shall be
connected to the building fire alarm system. An approved smoke detection system shall be installed in
Group E day care occupancies. Unless separated by a minimum of 100' open space, all buildings,
whether portable buildings or the main building, will be considered one building for alarm occupant load
consideration and interconnection of alarm systems.
(Reason: To distinguish educational from day care occupancy minimum protection requirements. Further,
to define threshold at which portable buildings are considered a separate building for the purposes of
alarm systems.)
Section 907.2.3; change exception 1. to read as follows:
Exceptions:
1. A manual fire alarm system is not required in Group E educational and day care occupancies
with an occupant load of less than 30 or less when provided with an approved automatic
sprinkler system.
1.1. Residential In-Home day care with not more than 12 children may use interconnected
single station detectors in all habitable rooms. (For care of more than five children 2 1/2
or less years of age, see Section 907.2.6.)
(Reason: Consistent with Texas State laws concerning day care facility requirements.)
Section 907.2.13, Exception 3; change to read as follows:
3. Open air portions of buildings with an occupancy in Group A-5 in accordance with Section 303.1 of
the International Building Code; however, this exception does not apply to accessory uses including

from automatic fire alarm system requirements.)
Section 907.4.2; add Section 907.4.2.7 to read as follows:
907.4.2.7 Type. Manual alarm initiating devices shall be an approved double action type.
(Reason: Helps to reduce false alarms. Consistent with regional requirements.)
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
Section 907.6.1; add Section 907.6.1.1 to read as follows:
907.6.1.1 Wiring Installation. All fire alarm systems shall be installed in such a manner that a failure of
any single initiating device or single open in an initiating circuit conductor will not interfere with the normal
operation of other such devices. All signaling line circuits (SLC) shall be installed in such a way that a
single open will not interfere with the operation of any addressable devices (Class A). Outgoing and
return SLC conductors shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 72 requirements for Class A circuits
and shall have a minimum of four feet separation horizontal and one foot vertical between supply and
return circuit conductors. The initiating device circuit (IDC) from an addressable input (monitor) module
may be wired Class B, provided the distance from the addressable module to the initiating device is ten
feet or less.
(Reason: To provide uniformity in system specifications and guidance to design engineers. Improves
reliability of fire alarm devices and systems.)
Section 907.6.5; add Section 907.6.5.3 to read as follows:
907.6.5.3 Communication requirements. All alarm systems, new or replacement, shall transmit alarm,
supervisory and trouble signals descriptively to the approved central station, remote supervisory station or
proprietary supervising station as defined in NFPA 72, with the correct device designation and location of

Zone condition.
(Reason: To assist responding personnel in locating the emergency event.)
Section 910.1; change Exception 2 to read as follows:
2. Where areas of buildings are equipped with early suppression fast-response (ESFR) sprinklers,
automatic only manual smoke and heat vents or manually activated engineered mechanical
smoke exhaust systems shall not be required within these areas. Automatic smoke and heat
vents are prohibited.
(Reason: Allows the fire department to control the smoke and heat during and after a fire event. Also
gives an alternative to smoke and heat vents.)
Section 910.2; add subsections 910.2.3 with exceptions and 910.2.4 to read as follows:
910.2.3 Group H. Buildings and portions thereof used as a Group H occupancy as follows:
1. In occupancies classified as Group H-2 or H-3, any of which are more than 15,000 square feet

Table 910.3; Change the title of the first row of the table from “Group F-1 and S-1” to include
“Group H” and to read as follows:
Group H, F-1 and S-1
(Reason: Consistency with the amendment 910.2.4 to include Group H.)
Section 910.3; replace Sections 910.3.1 through 910.3.3, and add second paragraph to Section
910.3.2.2 as follows:
910.3.1 Design. Smoke and heat vents shall be listed and labeled to indicate compliance with UL 793.
910.3.2 Vent operation. Smoke and heat vents shall be capable of being operated by approved
automatic and manual means. Automatic operation of smoke and heat vents shall conform to the
provisions of Sections 910.3.2.1 through 910.3.2.3.
910.3.2.1 Gravity-operated drop out vents. Automatic smoke and heat vents containing heat-
sensitive glazing designed to shrink and drop out of the vent opening when exposed to fire shall
fully open within 5 minutes after the vent cavity is exposed to a simulated fire represented by a
time-temperature gradient that reaches an air temperature of 500°F (260°C) within 5 minutes.
910.3.2.2 Sprinklered buildings. Where installed in buildings equipped with an approved
automatic sprinkler system, smoke and heat vents shall be designed to operate automatically.
The automatic operating mechanism of the smoke and heat vents shall operate at a temperature
rating at least 100 degrees F (approximately 38 degrees Celsius) greater than the temperature
rating of the sprinklers installed.
910.3.2.3 Nonsprinklered buildings. Where installed in buildings not equipped with an approved
automatic sprinkler system, smoke and heat vents shall operate automatically by actuation of a
heat-responsive device rated at between 100°F (56°C) and 220°F (122°C) above ambient.
Exception: Gravity-operated drop out vents complying with Section 910.3.2.1.
910.3.3 Vent dimensions. The effective venting area shall not be less than 16 square feet (1.5 m2) with
no dimension less than 4 feet (1219 mm), excluding ribs or gutters having a total width not exceeding 6
inches (152 mm).
(Reason: Errata – see ICC website for more information - Replaces text from the 2009 IFC that was
accidentally lost/left out of the 2012 edition first printing, as exemplified by the Section number skipping.
Amendment to Section 910.3.2.2 specifies a temperature range at which smoke and heat vents should
activate in sprinklered buildings to ensure that the sprinkler system has an opportunity to activate and
control the fire prior to vent operation.)
Section 912.2; add Section 912.2.3 to read as follows:
912.2.3 Hydrant distance. An approved fire hydrant shall be located within 100 feet of the fire
department connection as the fire hose lays along an unobstructed path.
(Reason: Consistent with regional practices.)
Section 913.1; add second paragraph and exception to read as follows:
When located on the ground level at an exterior wall, the fire pump room shall be provided with an
exterior fire department access door that is not less than 3 ft. in width and 6 ft. – 8 in. in height, regardless
of any interior doors that are provided. A key box shall be provided at this door, as required by Section
506.1.
Exception: When it is necessary to locate the fire pump room on other levels or not at an exterior
wall, the corridor leading to the fire pump room access from the exterior of the building shall be
provided with equivalent fire resistance as that required for the pump room, or as approved by the fire
code official. Access keys shall be provided in the key box as required by Section 506.1.
(Reason: This requirement allows fire fighters safer access to the fire pump room. The requirement
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
allows access without being required to enter the building and locate the fire pump room interior access
door during a fire event. The exception recognizes that this will not always be a feasible design scenario
for some buildings, and as such, provides an acceptable alternative to protect the pathway to the fire
pump room.)
Chapter 10: Sections 1001 through 1029; replace all references to “fire code official” with
“building official”.
(Reason: Past regional practice and legacy language has always referenced the “building official” as the
authority over Chapter 10 issues, except for the maintenance of the means of egress section. The 2012
edition of the IBC references “building official” in these sections, but references “fire code official” in the
2012 IFC, providing for a direct contradiction when both codes are adopted.)
Section 1004.1.2; delete exception:
1004.1.2 Areas without fixed seating. The number of occupants shall be computed at the rate of one
occupant per unit of area as prescribed in Table 1004.1.2. For areas without fixed seating, the occupant
load shall not be less than that number determined by dividing the floor area under consideration by the
occupant load factor assigned to the function of the space as set forth in Table 1004.1.2. Where an
intended function is not listed in Table 1004.1.2, the building official shall establish a function based on a
listed function that most nearly resembles the intended function.
Exception: Where approved by the building official, the actual number of occupants for whom each
occupied space, floor or building is designed, although less than those determined by calculation,
shall be permitted to be used in the determination of the design occupant load.
(Reason: Authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) already has this authority. Technical substantiation is
required to support deviation from table values.)
Section 1007.1; add the following Exception 4:
Exceptions:
{previous exceptions unchanged}
4. Buildings regulated under State Law and built in accordance with State registered plans, including
any variances or waivers granted by the State, shall be deemed to be in compliance with the
requirements of Section 1007.
(Reason: To accommodate buildings regulated under Texas State Law and to be consistent with
amendments to Chapter 11.)
Section 1007.5; Platform lifts, amend to read as follows:
1007.5 Platform lifts. Platform (wheelchair) lifts . . . required accessible route in Section 1109.7 8, Items
1 through 9 10. Standby power . . {remainder unchanged}
(Reason: Editorial.)
Section 1008.1.9.4; amend exceptions 3 and 4 as follows:
Exceptions:
3. Where a pair of doors serves an occupant load of less than 50 persons in a Group B, F, M or S
occupancy. {Remainder unchanged}
4. Where a pair of doors serves a Group A, B, F, M or S occupancy. {Remainder unchanged}
Item 15
North Central Texas Council of Governments March 2013
2012 IFC Amendments
(Reason: Application to M occupancies reflects regional practice; No. 4 expanded to Group
A due to it being a similar scenario to other uses; No. 4 was regional practice.)
Section 1008.1.9.9; change to read as follows:
1008.1.9.9 Electromagnetically locked egress doors. Doors in the means of egress in buildings with
an occupancy in Group A, B, E, I-1, I-2, M, R-1 or R-2 and doors to tenant spaces in Group A, B, E, I-1, I-
2, M, R-1 or R-2 shall be permitted to be electromagnetically locked if equipped with listed hardware that
incorporates a built-in switch and meet the requirements below: {remaining text unchanged}
(Reason: Regional practice to permit such locks due to the presence of trained staff.)
Section 1015; add new section 1015.7 to read as follows:
1015.7 Electrical Rooms. For electrical rooms, special exiting requirements may apply. Reference the
electrical code as adopted.
(Reason: Cross reference necessary for coordination.)
Section 1016; add new section 1016.2.2 to read as follows:
1016.2.2 Group F-1 and S-1 increase. The maximum exit access travel distance shall be 400 feet (122
m) in Group F-1 or S-1 occupancies where all of the following are met:
1. The portion of the building classified as Group F-1 or S-1 is limited to one story in height;
2. The minimum height from the finished floor to the bottom of the ceiling or roof slab or deck is 24
feet (7315 mm); and
3. The building is equipped throughout with an automatic fire sprinkler system in accordance with
Section 903.3.1.1.
(Reason: Past regional practice allowed smoke and heat vents to be utilized to increase travel distance,
which resulted in problems when utilizing ESFR systems. This amendment adopts wording from the
upcoming 2015 IBC, which has been approved by final action via the ICC code development process but
is not yet published.)
Section 1018.1; add exception 6 to read as follows:
{previous text unchanged}
6. In Group B office buildings, corridor walls and ceilings within single tenant spaces need not be of
fire-resistive construction when the tenant space corridor is provided with system smoke
detectors tied to an approved automatic fire alarm. The actuation of any detector shall activate
alarms audible in all areas served by the corridor.
(Reason: To reduce redundant requirements in a single tenant situation. Intended to be consistent with
regional amendment to IFC.
Section 1018.6; amend to read as follows:
1018.6, Corridor Continuity. Fire-Resistance-Rated All corridors shall be continuous from the point of
entry to an exit, and shall not be interrupted by intervening rooms. {Remainder unchanged}
{Exception unchanged}
Item 15

(Reason: Once in corridor, corridor should not be interrupted or discontinuous.)
Section 1026.6; amend exception 4 to read as follows:
Exceptions: {Exceptions 1 through 3 unchanged}
4. Separation from the interior open-ended corridors of the building… {remaining text unchanged}
(Reason: To clarify that Section 1022.7, i.e., the 180 degree rule is applicable; and is further reinforced by
new Exception 4.4.)
Section 1028.1.1.1; delete.
(Reason: Unenforceable.)
Section 1029.1; amend to read as follows:
1029.1 General. In addition to the means of egress required by this chapter, provisions shall be made for
emergency escape and rescue openings in Group R and I-1 Group R-2 occupancies in accordance with
Tables 1021.2(1) and 1021.2(2) and Group R-3 occupancies. {Remainder unchanged}
Exceptions:
{Exceptions 1 through 3 unchanged.}
4. In other than Group R-3 occupancies, buildings equipped throughout with an
approved automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 or
903.3.1.2.
(Reason: Maintains legacy language to ensure egress from residential type occupancies and maintain
exception for residential occupancies where an NFPA 13 or 13R sprinkler system is installed, but not for a
13D system.)
Section 1030.2; change to read as follows:
1030.2 Reliability. Required exit accesses, exits and exit discharges shall be continuously maintained
free from obstructions or impediments to full instant use in the case of fire or other emergency when the
building area served by the means of egress is occupied. An exit or exit passageway shall not be used for
any purpose that interferes with a means of egress.
(Reason: Maintain legacy levels of protection and long-standing regional practice, and provide firefighter
safety.)
Section 1103.3; add sentence to end of paragraph as follows:
Provide emergency signage as required by Section 607.2.
(Reason: Coordinates requirements of previous amendment.)
Section 1103.5; add Section 1103.5.3 to read as follows:
1103.5.3 Spray booths and rooms. Existing spray booths and spray rooms shall be protected by an
approved automatic fire-extinguishing system in accordance with Section 2404.
(Reason: Consistent with amendment to IFC 2404, regional practice, and long-standing regional
requirement..)
Item 15

2012 IFC Amendments
Section 2304.1; change to read as follows:
2304.1 Supervision of dispensing. The dispensing of fuel at motor fuel-dispensing facilities shall be
conducted by a qualified attendant or shall be under the supervision of a qualified attendant at all times or
shall be in accordance with Section 2204.3. the following:
1. Conducted by a qualified attendant; and/or,
2. Shall be under the supervision of a qualified attendant; and/or
3. Shall be an unattended self-service facility in accordance with Section 2304.3.
At any time the qualified attendant of item Number 1 or 2 above is not present, such operations shall be
considered as an unattended self-service facility and shall also comply with Section 2304.3.
(Reason: Allows a facility to apply the attended and unattended requirements of the code when both are
potentially applicable.)
Section 2401.2; delete this section.
(Reason: This section eliminates such booths from all compliance with Chapter 15 including, but not
limited to: size, ventilation, fire protection, construction, etc. If the product utilized is changed to a more
flammable substance, the lack of compliance with Chapter 15 could result in significant fire or deflagration
and subsequent life safety hazard.)
Table 3206.2, footnote j; change text to read as follows:
j. Not required when storage areas are protected by Where areas of buildings are equipped with early
suppression fast-response (ESFR) sprinkler systems installed in accordance with NFPA 13
sprinklers, manual smoke and heat vents or manually activated engineered mechanical smoke

(Reason: Allows the fire department to control the smoke and heat during and after a fire event, while
ensuring proper operation of the sprinkler protection provided. Also, gives an alternative to smoke and
heat vents.)
Section 3310.1; add sentence to end of paragraph to read as follows:
When fire apparatus access roads are required to be installed for any structure or development, they shall
be approved prior to the time of which construction has progressed beyond completion of the foundation
of any structure.

Significant Changes
From The
2003 International Fire Code to the 2006 International Fire
Code
19.10.405.10 Emergency evacuation drills; false alarms. - Although this CBJ modification
was in the code last adoption cycle it is important for the public to take note that false
alarms may not be counted as a fire drill for the purposes of this section.
19.10.510.2 Fire department access to equipment; electrical disconnect. - Added to
clearly state where the Fire Department wants an electrical disconnect for buildings.
Add a new subsection as follows:
"510.2 Electrical disconnect. Electrical disconnects or shunt trip controls for a building shall
be accessible from the exterior of the building or in a room with direct access to the
exterior. Such room shall be separated from remainder of the building by construction
capable of resisting the passage of smoke. Doors shall be self-closing or automatic-
closing upon detection of smoke. Doors shall not have air transfer openings and shall not
be undercut in excess of the clearance permitted in accordance with NFPA 80."
19.10.605.10 Portable electric space heaters. - New local modification created per fire
department recommendation to address the high risk of fires in buildings containing Group I
occupancies and in buildings over 35 feet high by prohibiting the use of portable electric
space heaters. On large buildings the Fire Department has huge challenges relying on a
volunteer force with the delays that this creates. Some of our large buildings do not have
sprinklers in them. (State Office Building is one.) With the large number of plastic trash cans
and other combustibles in office spaces it is very common to find space heaters under
desks. The buildings that fall under this section would be large office buildings that mostly
have a huge impact on the community if there is even a small fire. One of the leading causes
of fires in the CBJ is misuse of space heaters and most are plugged into extension cords
violating the UL listing.
FC 901.9 Recall of fire protection components. - This new provision provides a regulatory
basis to require recalled fire protection system components be replaced and authorizes
fire code official to enforce the recall. Also owners are required to notify fire code official
when replacement is complete.
19.903.2.1.2 Automatic sprinkler systems; Group A-2. - CBJ modification of the IFC
reduces the occupant number from 100 to 50 as the threshold to require automatic
sprinkler systems. This was recommended due to Juneau's local condition of small
size bars on So. Franklin St.

IFC 903.2.7 Automatic sprinkler systems; Group R. -This section requires all R occupanci es
to be sprinkled if under the scope of the IBC. The sprinkler requirement does not apply to R
occupancies under the IRC (International Residential Code.) The state fire marshal regulations have
removed exception 1 so CBJ must also remove the exception. The following CBJ exceptions have
been deleted and no longer allow exemption from sprinkling requirement:
1. Occupant Group R-1, where guestrooms are not more than three stories above the
lowest level of discharge and each guestroom has at least one door leading directly to an
exterior exit access that leads directly to approved exits.
2. Occupant Group R-2, if the R-2 fire area is less than two stories in height, including
basements, or where there are less than sixteen dwelling units or sleeping rooms.
IFC 903.3.1.2.1 NFPA 13R sprinkler systems; balconies and decks. - Sprinklers were required
for balconies in the 2003 edition. This section has been modified in the 2006 IFC to also include
decks on some multifamily dwellings.
IFC 1003.2 General means of egress; ceiling height. - The means of egress is now required
to have a minimum height of 7 feet 6 inches. The previous requirement was 7 feet. There are
exceptions for projections and doorways. This provides consistency between IBC code section
1208.2 and IFC section 1003.2.
IIFC 1004.1 Design occupant load.-A new exception that allows the building official to assign an
occupant load that is less than the calculated requirements of Table 1004.1.1 on a case by case
basis. Previously the highest occupant load by using either the Table 1004.1.1 or actual number
if higher than calculated number was required and there were no provisions for situations where
the actual number was to be less than the calculated number. In addition, changes in this
section give the building official guidance to select occupant load factors when a use is not
listed in Table 1004.1.1.
I 03.30 Code Enforcement - Fine Schedules for Fire and Building Codes
03.30.057 Fire Code Fine Schedule . - New offenses have been added to allow citations to
be written for obstruction of fire access roads; unlawful obstructions of fire protection
water supplies; work performed without fire suppression or fire alarm installer license;
and unlawful maintenance of means of egress.
03.30.064 Building Code Fine Schedule. - New offense has been added to allow for
citations to be written for failure to obtain cross connection control inspection.
