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.

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 National Electrical Code 1990

Provisions on wiring systems are added in Article

electrical metallic tubing or rigid metallic
conduit are required in all but a few instances in
order to reduce potential electrical line problems,
especially as a result of earthquakes.

An amendment to Article 334-23, Metal-Clad Cable,

residential structures and not permit such cables
in industrial and commercial buildings.

making the changes or modifications to the National Electrical Code
