Section 1.1.1 of NFPA Standard 130 is hereby amended to read as follows:

1.1.1 This standard shall cover life safety from fire and fire protection requirements for underground, surface, and elevated fixed guideway transit and passenger rail systems, including but not limited to stations, trainways, emergency ventilation systems, vehicles, emergency procedures, communications, control systems and vehicle storage areas that are predominantly open to the atmosphere.

The administrative provisions of the International Fire Code (Chapter 1, Part 2, Sections 103 – 113 as amended in Bellevue City Code Chapter 23.11), and Bellevue City Code Chapter 23.05 (Construction Code Administration) apply in addition to the following administrative provisions.

NFPA 130 as adopted and amended by the City of Bellevue, is the primary applicable code, and other codes apply only as referenced herein, except that the fire marshal and building official shall have the authority to require design to other adopted codes where deemed appropriate. Wherever there are practical difficulties involved in carrying out the provisions of this code, the fire marshal and building official shall have the authority to grant modifications for individual cases, upon application of the owner or owner’s representative, provided the fire marshal and building official shall first find that special individual reason makes the strict letter of this code impractical and the modification is in compliance with the intent and purpose of this code and that such modification does not lessen health, accessibility, life and fire safety, or structural requirements. The details of action granting modifications shall be recorded and entered in the appropriate permit files.
