TO CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING
CODE, 1973 EDITION, AS PUBLISHED BY THE INTER-

AS ADOPTED BY REFERENCE, AND MADE APPLICABLE
TO THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco
that Resolution No. 28-75, passed the 19th day of February, 1975, entitled,
"A Resolution Finding and Determining That, Because of Local Conditions,
the Public Health, Safety, Welfare and Necessity, Require Changes or
Modifications To Certain Provisions of the Uniform Building Code, 1973
Edition, As Published by the International Conference of Building Officials,
and As Adopted by Reference, and Made Applicable To the City of South San
Francisco," is hereby amended as follows:
1. Amendment of Paragraph 1 of Resolution No. 28-75.
Paragraph I of Resolution No. 28-75 is hereby amended to read:
1. Section 2623 Minimum Slab Thickness.
(a) The minimum thickness of concrete floor slabs sup-
ported directly on the ground shall be not less than three and
one-hal f inches (3½").
(b) Following are the requirements for concrete slabs
on ground used as a finish floor or as a base for other floor
finish in habitable rooms:
1. Minimum thickness of reinforced concrete three
and one-half inches (3½").
le
2. A waterproof membrane, same being a visqueen
of six-mill thickness, or alternate material
approved by the Building Official, pursuant
to the provisions of this Code. Said water-
proof membrane shall extend to the exterior
walls or beyond the limits of habi table rooms
and be turned up to top of slab.
3. A granular material shall be placed under con-
crete slab and shall be of proper consistency
and thickness to retard capillary action and
shall be approved by the Building Official.
FINDINGS: The minimum thickness, membrane and granular placement
required by this modification are necessary because without
the installation of same as prescribed, moisture from under-
ground springs, high water table combined with heavy rainfal 1
after saturating or contributing to soil saturation would be
carried through the slab by capillary action to the floor
coverings above creating a damp condition and presenting
a health hazard to the building occupants.
2. Rescission of Paragraph 4.
Paragraph 4 of Resolution No. 28-75, which reads as follows, is hereby
rescinded.
4. Section 3802(b) Automatic Fire Extinguishing Systems; Where Required.
12. (a) Any building or structure having a total floor
area of 10,000 square feet or more; or
(b) Any building or structure which is 40 feet or
more in height, as defined in this Code; or
(c) Any building or structure which is three (3)
stories or more, irrespective of height, as set
forth in (b) above, as defined in this Code.
FINDINGS: The automatic fire extinguishing systems required by this
modification set forth in Subsection 12(a), (b) and (c)
are necessary because the installation of same as prescribed
will furnish a reasonable level of fire protection for the
said types of structures and occupants thereof.
