CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION FINDING AND DETERMINING THE NEED
FOR CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE CALIFORNIA
MECHANICAL CODE, 2001 EDITION
WHEREAS, Section 17958 of the Health & Safety Code requires the adoption by the City of
South San Francisco of regulations imposing the requirements of certain uniform industry codes as
specified in Health & Safety Code §17922; and
WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code §17958.5 permits a city to make such changes or
modifications to the uniform codes as deemed reasonable because of local climatic, geological, or
topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, Government Code § 50022.4 provides that when a code is adopted by reference,
penalty clauses are not deemed adopted by reference but may be enacted only if set forth in full in the
adopting ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of South San
Francisco that pursuant to the requirements of Health & Safety Code §17958.7 and Government
Code §50022.4, the City Council finds and determines there is a need to adopt the following changes
or modifications to the California Mechanical Code 2001 Edition, (Municipal Code Chapter 15.16),
by reason of local conditions:
1. Administrative Changes
Section 111.1, Violations, is restated and Section 111.2, Penalties, is added in light of
Government Code § 50022.4 to be consistent with other Municipal Code provisions with regard
to penalties by specifying that violations are infractions rather than misdemeanors; to streamline
enforcement procedures by facilitating non-judicial enforcement; and to increase compliance
levels and encourage voluntary compliance. The Schedule of Fees referenced in Table 1-A is
deleted, and is replaced by the City's Master Fee Schedule, in order to conform to other fee
provisions in the Uniform Codes by providing a single fee source for all codes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby directed to cause a copy of this
resolution, together with the ordinance making the changes or modifications to the California
Mechanical Code 2001 Edition, to be filed with the State Department of Housing and Community
Development and the California State Building Standards Commission.
