As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Any material which is composed predominantly of any of the
following hydrocarbons or mixtures of them: propane, propylene, butane
(normal butane or isobutane) and butylenes.
[Amended 9-6-1967 by L.L. No. 2-1967; 12-5-1984 by L.L. No. 17-1984; 12-18-1996 by L.L. No. 14-1996; 12-20-2000 by L.L. No. 11-2000]
A permit shall be obtained for each installation
of liquefied petroleum gas made at buildings in which people congregate
for civic, political, educational, religious, social or recreational
purposes. Such buildings shall include schools, churches, hospitals,
institutions, hotels and restaurants, each having a capacity of 20
or more persons. Prior to making such an installation, an installer
shall submit plans to the Fire Inspector, and if compliance with the
requirements of this chapter is shown by said plans, a permit shall
be issued. Application for such permit shall be accompanied by an
inspection and permit fee to be set annually by resolution of the
City Council before adoption of the budget for the following year.
It shall be the duty of the Fire Inspector to
inspect a reasonable number of liquefied petroleum gas installations
to determine if the provisions of this chapter are being complied
with.
Within the limits established by law restricting
the bulk storage of liquefied petroleum gas for the protection of
heavily populated or congested commercial area, the aggregate capacity
of any one installation shall not exceed 2,000 gallons' water capacity;
except that in particular installations this capacity limit may be
altered at the discretion of the Fire Inspector after consideration
of special features such as topographical conditions, nature of occupancy
and proximity to buildings, capacity of proposed tanks, degree of
private fire protection to be provided and facilities of the local
Fire Department.
