CITY COUNCIL~ CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION FINDING AND DETERMINING THE
NEED FOR CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE
UNIFORM BUILDING CODE AND UNIFORM BUILDING
CODE STANDARDS, 1988 EDITIONS
WHEREAS, Section 17958 of the Health & Safety Code requires the adoption
by the Ci-~ of South San Francisco of regulations imposing the requirements
of certain uniform industry codes as specified in Health & Safety Code
Section 17922; and
WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code Section 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 Section 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, I'HEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that pursuant to
the requirements of Health & Safety Code Section 17958.7 and Government
Code Section 50022.4, the Council finds and determines there is a need
to adopt the following changes or modifications to the Uniform Building
Code and Lniform Building Code Standards, 1988 Edition, (Municipal Code
Chapter 15.08) by reason of local conditions:
1. Administrative Changes.
Section 205, Violations, is restated and Section 206, Penalties,
is added in light of Government Code Section 50022.4 to conform
with other Municipal Code provisions. Section 307, Certificate
of Occupancy, is modified to reflect local processing procedures.
Similarily, Appendix Section 7017, Liability, is added to tie in
with provisions of the California Health and Safety Code. These
clanges are administrative rather than technical in nature.
2. Climatic, Geological, and Topographical Changes.
Modifications are made to several sections in an attempt to
better prevent leakage and dampness due to the City's
frequently wet and windy climate. The most significant
change is that of requiring one hour rated waterproof paper
rather than ten minute rated waterproof paper under the
exterior wall covering. These requirements, reflected in
Section 1707 Weather Protection, Section 2623 Minimum Slab
Thickness, Section 4706 Exterior Lath, and Uniform Building
Code Standards Section 17.102 and Table No. 17-1-A, will
help prevent water damage in and to buildings.
be
Grading and drainage requirements~ as found in Section 2905,
Foundation Investigation, and Appendix Section 7002 through
7016, Excavation and Grading are expanded due to geologic
and topographical considerations, including clay strata, hilly
terrain, and proximity of the San Andreas Fault~ are necessary
to reduce exposure to hazards and to keep and maintain property
in a safe condition.
c. Matters Not Addressed in Uniform Building Code.
Since the Uniform Building Code does not address moving
buildings, provisions identified as Sections 4601 through
4604 have been added, since the relocation of buildings
requires special attention.
d. Uniform Building Code Provisions Deleted.
Appendix Chapter 12 is an alternative to Chapter 12, both
dealing with Group R-Division Occupancies, and is therefore
deleted to avoid confusion. The provisions of Appendix
Chapter 51, Elevators, Dumbwaiters, Escalators and Moving
Walks are superseded by State Law and therefore are deleted.
The fee provisions in Appendix Table 70-A and Table 70-B are
more appropriately covered in the City's master fee schedule.
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 Uniform Building Code and Uniform Building Code Standards,
1988 Editions, to be filed with the State Department of Housing and Community
Development.
I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was regularly introduced
and adopted by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco at a
regular meeting held on the 13th day of December , 19 89 by the
