Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the case, the ordinance would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the ordinance involves the adoption of state-mandated construction codes, and the revisions to those codes merely improve the safety of buildings and will not have any effect on the environment; and B.

Find that the action proposed is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this ordinance is not considered a “project” under CEQA which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21065. Under the proposed ordinance, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the case, the ordinance would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the ordinance involves the adoption of state-mandated construction codes, and the revisions to those codes merely improve the safety of buildings and will not have any effect on the environment; and B. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance amending various sections of Chapter 7 of the Vernon Municipal Code, along with amendments, additions and deletions and adopting by reference the following code: (1) the 2019 California Fire Code. Background: The State of California Building Standards Commission (“Commission”) recently adopted the 2019 California Fire Code as part nine (9) of the California Building Standards Codes or CBSC. Section 17958 of the California Health and Safety Code requires that the latest edition of the California Building Standards Codes automatically apply to local construction 180 days after they become effective at the state level. Since the CBSC became effective at the state level on July 1, 2019, they are scheduled to become effective at the local level on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to Sections 50022.2 et seq. of the California Government Code, which authorizes the City to adopt the California Fire Code, the City intends to adopt with amendments the California Fire Code. Only changes to building standards need to be justified on the basis of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. The establishment of administrative standards does not require justification pursuant to the California Health & Safety Code. City staff has reviewed the state fire code and have proposed a number of local amendments for adoption within the Vernon Municipal Code with the proper justifications to be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission. The allowable justifications, on the basis of local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions, in summary, are as follows: Local climatic conditions. The seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create severe fire hazards to the public health and welfare in the City of Vernon. The hot, dry weather in combination with Santa Ana winds results in extreme fire conditions for the community which increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. The aforementioned conditions combined with the geological characteristics of the county and near the City create hazardous conditions for which departure from some of the provisions of the California Building Standards Code is reasonably necessary. Local geological conditions. The City of Vernon is subject to earthquake hazards caused by the location of nearby earthquake faults causing active seismic activity in the area. Known faults which potentially could cause seismic activity in the City include the Whittier Fault to the east, the Raymond Fault to the north, and the Newport-Inglewood Fault to the west. Said faults are generally considered major Southern California earthquake faults which may experience rupture at any time and can create tremendous loss of life and damage to structures in the City. Thus, because the City is within a seismic area which includes earthquake faults within the County of Los Angeles and near the City, the modifications and changes cited herein are designed to better limit property damage as a result of seismic activity and to establish criteria for repair of damaged property following a local emergency. Local topographical conditions. The City of Vernon is coupled with the density of buildings, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings, narrow streets potentially create a problem for governmental agencies to respond to emergency conditions. Additionally, long periods of dry, hot weather, combined with unpredictable seasonal winds (Santa Ana wind conditions) result in increased exposure to fire risk. The heavy rains tend to over-saturate the soil for a short time period during the year, having a detrimental effect on in-ground structures affected by varying moisture conditions. Administrative amendments. Lastly, Fire staff is recommending that additional amendments to the codes be adopted in order to provide administrative clarification. Such amendments do not modify the building standards found in the state codes.

Here,the ordinance involves the adoption of state-mandated construction codes,and the revisions to those codes merely improve the safety of buildings and will not have any effect on theenvironment. If you challenge the adoption of the proposed ordinance to amend Chapter 7,Fire Regulations of the Vernon Municipal Code and repealing all prior ordinancesand partofordinances in conflict therewith or any provision thereof in court,you may be limited to raising only those issues youor someone else raised at the hearing described in this notice or in written correspondencedelivered to the City of Vernon at,or prior to,the meeting.

Lisa Pope, City Clerk (SEAL) City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-437-2019 Submitted by: Claudia Arellano Submitting Department: Public Works Meeting Date: November 5, 2019 SUBJECT Amendments to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 24 - Building and Construction and Adoption of the 2019 California Building Standards Code, 2006 Electrical Code Administrative Provisions, and 2018 International Existing Building Code by Reference Recommendation: A. Find that the proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this ordinance is not considered a “project” under CEQA which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21065. Under the proposed ordinance, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the case, the ordinance would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the ordinance involves the adoption of state-mandated construction codes, and the revisions to those codes merely improve the safety of buildings and will not have any effect on the environment; and B. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance amending various sections of Chapter 24 of the Vernon Municipal Code, along with amendments, additions and deletions and adopting by reference the following codes: (1) the 2019 California Building Code, 24 CCR Part 2; (2) the 2019 California Electrical Code, 24 CCR Part 3; (3) the 2006 Edition of the International Code Council (ICC) Electrical Code Administrative Provisions; (4) the 2019 California Mechanical Code, 24 CCR Part 4; (5) the 2019 California Plumbing Code, 24 CCR Part 5; (6) the 2019 California Existing Building Code, 24 CCR Part 10; (7) the 2018 International Existing Building Code; (8) the 2019 California Residential Code, 24 CCR Part 2.5; (9) the 2019 California Green Building Standards Code also known as the CALGreen Code, 24 CCR Part 11, and; (10) the 2019 California Energy Code, 24 CCR Part 6. Background: The State of California Building Standards Commission (“Commission”) recently adopted the 2019 California Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Residential, Green Building Standards, Existing Building, and Energy Codes collectively known as the California Building Standards Codes or CBSC. Section 17958 of the California Health and Safety Code requires that the latest edition of the California Building Standards Codes automatically apply to local construction 180 days after they become effective at the state level. Since the CBSC became effective at the state level on July 1, 2019, they are scheduled to become effective at the local level on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to Sections 50022.2 et seq. of the California Government Code, which authorizes the City to adopt the CBSC and other uniform and model codes, the City intends to adopt with amendments the CBSC, and: (a) the 2006 Edition of the International Code Council Electrical Code Administrative Provisions, (b) Chapter A2 and repair criteria of the 2018 International Existing Building Code, published by the International Code Council, as the minimum seismic retrofit requirements for buildings of tilt-up and concrete frame construction types for those property owners who voluntarily propose to retrofit their buildings, and (c) the Uniform Code for Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, 1997 Edition, published by the International Conference of Building Officials which code was previously adopted in Ordinance No. 1073, remains unchanged, and shall be the standard for the repair of structures damaged during a disaster event. The Los Angeles Basin Chapter of the International Code Council has been very active throughout the years in leading the effort to create uniformity of building codes and regulations throughout the greater Los Angeles region as well as addressing policy issues of interest to building officials and the construction industry. One such effort to promote uniformity of building regulations is through the Los Angeles Regional Uniform Code Program (LARUCP). The LARUCP program began in July 1999 with the purpose of developing uniform interpretations and handouts to serve as guidelines for building officials, contractors, engineers and architects in the consistent application of the codes. The mission of this program was to minimize the number of and to develop uniformity in local technical amendments to the model codes for adoption by jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles region. Through the coordination of the International Code Council Los Angeles Basin Chapter’s Structural Code Committee and Administrative Committee the following streamlining tasks have been established: 1) Create uniformity of building standards code that can be adopted by jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles region; 2) Reduce the total number of local amendments to the California codes in the greater Los Angeles region; 3) Receive support from many, if not all, of the 89 jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles region; 4) Obtain active participation from jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles region in formulating and implementing the LARUCP program; and 5) With construction valuation of over $5 billion in the region, conservatively assuming that the program produces a 1% construction cost savings, achieve an estimated cost saving of $50 million per year in the greater Los Angeles region. The 2019 Edition of the LARUCP Recommended Code Amendments have been widely circulated and discussed over the past several months with various local jurisdictional members, Structural Engineers Association of Southern California technical committees, design professionals in the construction industry, and other interested groups or individuals. The only exception to the Public Works Department staff’s recommendation to include the LARUCPs recommendations in their entirety is Section 1613.6, which involves seismic design in hillside buildings. The reason staff does not recommend that this section be included is that there are no applicable hillside sites in the City of Vernon. California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 allow a local agency to amend the adopted state codes provided that such modifications or changes to building standards are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. Only changes to building standards need to be justified on the basis of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. The establishment of administrative standards does not require justification pursuant to the California Health & Safety Code. Public Works Department staff has reviewed the state codes and, in addition to those recommended by the LARUCP, staff have proposed a number of local amendments for adoption within the Vernon Municipal Code with the proper justifications to be submitted to the Commission. The allowable justifications, on the basis of local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions, in summary, are as follows: Local climatic conditions. The seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create severe fire hazards to the public health and welfare in the City of Vernon. The hot, dry weather in combination with Santa Ana winds results in extreme fire conditions for the community which increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. The aforementioned conditions combined with the geological characteristics of the county and near the City create hazardous conditions for which departure from some of the provisions of the California Building Standards Code is reasonably necessary. Local geological conditions. The City of Vernon is subject to earthquake hazards caused by the location of nearby earthquake faults causing active seismic activity in the area. Known faults which potentially could cause seismic activity in the City include the Whittier Fault to the east, the Raymond Fault to the north, and the Newport-Inglewood Fault to the west. Said faults are generally considered major Southern California earthquake faults which may experience rupture at any time and can create tremendous loss of life and damage to structures in the City. Thus, because the City is within a seismic area which includes earthquake faults within the County of Los Angeles and near the City, the modifications and changes cited herein are designed to better limit property damage as a result of seismic activity and to establish criteria for repair of damaged property following a local emergency. Local topographical conditions. The City of Vernon's building density, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings, narrow streets potentially create a problem for governmental agencies to respond to emergency conditions. Additionally, long periods of dry, hot weather, combined with unpredictable seasonal winds (Santa Ana wind conditions) result in increased exposure to fire risk. The heavy rains tend to over-saturate the soil for a short time period during the year, having a detrimental effect on in-ground structures affected by varying moisture conditions. Administrative amendments. The Public Works Department recommends that additional amendments to the codes be adopted in order to provide administrative clarification. Such amendments do not modify the building standards found in the state codes. Instead, these amendments establish administrative standards for such activities as the establishment and collection of fees, the issuance of permits, and the effective enforcement of building standards. Findings of fact and justifications to amendments of the CBSC and the 2006 International Code Council Electrical Code Administrative Provisions and the 2018 International Existing Building Code are submitted to the City Council under separate cover for approval. 2019 Vernon Building Code The Building Code establishes regulations and standards for the structural design, construction, alteration, movement, enlargement, replacement, repair, occupancy, location, maintenance, demolition and accessibility for every building or structure within Vernon, with the exception of one and two family dwelling units not exceeding three stories. It is recommended that the 2019 California Building Code, and standards contained therein, published by the International Code Council and the Commission, be adopted as the Vernon Building Code with the proposed amendments outlined in the ordinance. The proposed amendments in brief summary are as follows: 1) The City requires a Certificate of Occupancy to be issued for each change in use or tenancy. 2) Establishes reinspection fees and outlines the responsibility of the permittee. 3) Establishes various technical amendments as developed by the LARUCP to improve the seismic and wind loading capabilities of structures within the City. 4) Establishes additional grading provisions in order to better safeguard adjacent properties and establish erosion control requirements. 2019 Vernon Electrical Code The Electrical Code establishes regulations and standards for the design, alteration, modification, construction and maintenance of electrical installations from the meter into the property. It is recommended that the 2019 California Electrical Code, copyrighted by the National Fire Protection Association and the Commission, including standards contained therein, with the proposed amendments outlined in the ordinance, be adopted as the Vernon Electrical Code. Additionally, it is recommended that the 2006 International Code Council Electrical Administrative Provisions, published by the International Code Council, including standards contained therein be adopted with the proposed amendments as outlined in the proposed ordinance and be incorporated into the Vernon Electrical Code as the Administrative Provisions for the City. The proposed amendments in brief summary are as follows: 1) Establishes specific wiring methods 2) Requires service entrance conductors to be installed in Rigid Metal Conduit or Busways (except by special permission) 3) Prohibits the use of Non Metallic-Sheathed Cable in the City in uses other than in dwellings 4) Establishes the responsibilities of the permittee 5) Requires that the Vernon Public Utilities Department be notified when significantly increasing the electrical load 6) Requires City approval prior to energizing electrical equipment 7) Establishes a Permit Fee Schedule 8) Requires that City approved testing agencies be utilized when evaluating and listing electrical equipment 2019 Vernon Mechanical Code The Mechanical Code establishes regulations and standards for the erection, installation, alteration, relocation, replacement, use and maintenance of heating, ventilation, cooling, refrigeration systems and other heat producing devices. It is recommended that the 2019 California Mechanical Code, including appendices and standards contained therein, published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials and the Commission, be adopted with the proposed amendments as the Vernon Mechanical Code. The proposed amendments in brief summary are as follows: 1) Establishes City Permit Fees 2) Establishes the responsibilities of the permittee 2019 Vernon Plumbing Code The Plumbing Code establishes regulations and standards for installation of plumbing systems including water supply and distribution, sanitary drainage, storm drainage and gas piping. It is recommended that the 2019 California Plumbing Code, including appendices, and standards contained therein, published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, be adopted with the proposed amendments as the Vernon Plumbing Code. The proposed amendments, in brief summary, are as follows: 1) Establishes City Permit Fees 2) Establishes the responsibilities of the permittee 3) Establishes requirements for yard drainage 2019 Vernon Residential Code The Residential Code establishes regulations and standards for the structural design, construction, alteration, movement, enlargement, replacement, repair, occupancy, location, maintenance, demolition and accessibility for one and two family dwelling units not exceeding three stories within the City of Vernon. It is recommended that the 2019 California Residential Code, and standards contained therein, published by the International Code Council and the Commission, be adopted with the proposed amendments as the Vernon Residential Code. The proposed amendments, in brief summary, are as follows: 1) Establishes permittee responsibilities 2) Establishes reinspection fees 3) Establishes various technical amendments as developed by the LARUCP to improve the seismic and wind loading capabilities of structures within the City 2019 Vernon Existing Building Code The Existing Building Code establishes minimum design standards for the structural seismic strengthening of existing unreinforced masonry bearing wall buildings. These standards are primarily established to reduce the risk of loss of life or injury. Compliance with these provisions will not necessarily prevent the loss of life or injury, or prevent earthquake damage to rehabilitated buildings. It is recommended that the 2019 California Existing Building Code and referenced standards contained therein, published by the International Code Council and the Commission, be adopted as the Vernon Existing Building Code. 2018 Vernon International Existing Building Code Sections 38660 and 50022.2 of the California Government Code, among other things, authorize the City Council to adopt by reference, regulations for the summary abatement, destruction, or removal of unsafe structures and of unsightly or partially destroyed buildings. In particular, older buildings of tilt-up concrete wall construction are recognized to be unsafe and hazardous due to the potential for collapse in an earthquake, especially those constructed prior to the adoption of the 1976 Uniform Building Code. These types of structures often do not have proper ties between the wall and roofing systems. During an earthquake the wall and roof connection have been known to fail causing the roof to collapse endangering persons and property below. Property owners have in the past voluntarily retrofitted their tilt-up buildings and have either used other City standards or used no standards at all. Often lenders or insurance companies require these types of buildings to be retrofitted. Public Works Department staff believes that a minimum recognized standard should be established for the retrofit of these structures. Appendix A Chapter A1 of the 2018 Edition of the International Existing Building Code published by the International Code Council establishes minimum standards for tilt-up concrete walled buildings to provide structural seismic resistance in order to reduce the risk of life loss or injury on both the subject and adjacent properties. It is recommended that Appendix A Chapter A1 of the 2018 Edition of the International Existing Building Code be adopted as the new minimum standard. Lastly, this retrofit requirement for tilt-up concrete walled structures or concrete framed buildings is a voluntary program and is not mandated by the City. The California Existing Building Code, part of the California Building Standards Code, 24 CCR Part 10, does regulate unreinforced masonry buildings and other buildings vulnerable to seismic hazards. However, it does not sufficiently address the seismic hazards found in the numerous tilt-up concrete buildings that exist in the City. Although the International Existing Building Code is currently a model code which has not been adopted by the state, many jurisdictions have adopted these supplemental design standards. The inclusion of the International Existing Building Code’s standards into the Vernon Municipal Code is therefore reasonably necessary to regulate and abate the seismic hazards in such buildings and other construction on the basis of the high level of geologic activity in this area. 2019 Vernon Green Building Standards Code The Green Buildings Standards Code establishes both mandatory and voluntary provisions through the development and planning process to protect, restore and enhance the environmental quality of the site and respect the integrity of adjacent properties. Mandatory measures for nonresidential projects include but are not limited to the following: 1) Development of a storm water pollution prevention plan 2) Bicycle parking 3) Designated parking for fuel efficient vehicles 4) Light pollution reduction measures 5) Sub water meters for buildings 50,000 square feet or greater 6) Installation of low flow plumbing fixtures 7) Installation of weather based irrigation controllers 8) Requirement that 50% of construction waste and debris be recycled 9) Requirement of accessible recycling waste bins 10) Requirement of the commissioning of buildings 10,000 square feet or more 11) Requirement of adhesive products be low Volatile Organic Compounds and establishes limits for formaldehydes It is recommended that the 2019 California Green Building Standards Code, and the standards contained therein, published by the Commission, be adopted with the proposed amendments as the Vernon Green Building Standards Code. The proposed amendments, in brief summary, are as follows: 1) Establishes City Permit Fees 2) Establishes percentage of parking stalls to be provided with EV charging space capable of supporting future EVSE and EV charging station and varies per building type. 2019 Vernon Energy Code The Energy Code establishes energy efficiencies standards for buildings constructed or enlarged within the City. The standards include regulations on building envelopes, space conditioning, water heating systems, and lighting systems. It is recommended that the 2019 California Energy Code, including appendices, and standards contained therein, published by the Commission, be adopted with one proposed amendment as the Vernon Energy Code. The proposed amendment is as follows: 1) Administrative establishment of City Permit Fees The City Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the proposed ordinance as to form. The 2019 California Building Standards Codes, the 2006 Electrical Code Administrative Provisions and the 2018 International Existing Building Code books are available for review in the Office of the City Clerk. Upon approval and adoption of the proposed ordinance, the City is required to file a certified copy of the amendments and justifications with the Commission. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact to the City by adopting this ordinance. ATTACHMENTS 1. Notice of Public Hearing - Bldg Ordinance 2.

Executed this ____ day of ___________, 2019, at Vernon, California. Lisa Pope, City Clerk (SEAL) City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-474-2019 Submitted by: Daniel Wall Submitting Department: Public Works Meeting Date: November 5, 2019 SUBJECT Amendments to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 22 - Streets and Sidewalks and Tree City USA Application Recommendation: A. Find that the proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this ordinance is not considered a “project” under CEQA which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21065. Under the proposed ordinance, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the case, CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 categorically exempts actions taken by regulatory agencies that assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment. Here, the ordinance involves the adoption procedures with respect to planting and maintaining trees and a tree plan within the City. Further, the request for authorization to submit an application to the Arbor Day Foundation will have no impact on the environment whatsoever; B. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance adding Article X to Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code regarding Streets and Sidewalks to establish the “Tree Ordinance;” and C. Authorize the Public Works Department to submit an application to the Arbor Day Foundation for Vernon to be designated a Tree City USA. Background: The Arbor Day Foundation is a national non-profit organization dedicated to planting trees and improving the environment. The Arbor Day Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Services and National Association of State Foresters, recognize cities throughout the nation under its Tree City USA program. The Tree City USA program provides direction, assistance, and national recognition to communities. Moreover, by becoming a Tree City USA, the City of Vernon is ensuring that its trees will benefit the community in many ways. For example, trees can reduce costs for energy, stormwater management, and erosion control; cut energy consumption by up to 25 percent; boost property values across the city; build strong ties to our community; educate our community about the value of trees and the importance of sustainable tree management, and increase community pride. To qualify for a Tree City USA designation, the City of Vernon must meet four standards established by the Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters: 1)Designate a responsible Tree Board/Department; 2)Adopt a Tree Ordinance; 3)Implement a Community Forestry Program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita; and 4)Proclaim and Observe Arbor Day. The proposed ordinance designates the Public Works Department as the responsible department to implement the City’s Forestry Program. Currently, the Public Works Department budgets approximately $97,000 per year for urban forest management services. As you may recall, the City Council announced a proclamation declaring September 21, 2019 as Arbor Day in the City of Vernon. At the Arbor Day event, the City’s tree inventory was increased by 75 trees with 125 more trees to be planted in the City before the end of 2019. The Public Works Departments’ efforts to expand and maintain Vernon’s urban forest continues and staff would like to ensure that the City of Vernon’s efforts are recognized. As such, it is recommended that the Public Works Department be authorized to submit an application to the Arbor Day Foundation for Vernon to be designated a Tree City USA. Fiscal Impact: Adoption of this ordinance and authorizing the Public Works Department to submit an application to the Arbor Day Foundation for Vernon to be designated a Tree City USA has no fiscal impact to the City.

Section 22.137. Permit required. No person shall cut, trim, prune, plant, remove, injure or interfere with any city-owned tree, without a permit from the Director. The Director is authorized to grant a permit in accordance with the street encroachment permit procedures, but no such permit shall be valid for a period longer than 90 days after its date of issuance. Before a permit is issued pursuant to this article, a permit fee shall be paid to the city in accordance with the amount set forth by resolution of the city council. - 5 - Section 22.138. Permit issuance to persons maintaining wires, pipes or conduits. Any person maintaining any overhead wires, poles or construction or any pipes, conduits or services underground, along or across any public property in the city or owning any property abutting upon any public property in the city desiring to have any city-owned tree cut, trimmed, pruned or removed shall file with the Director a written request for the applicant to perform such work. Such request shall describe the work to be performed by the applicant. The issuance of any such permit shall be at the discretion of the Director. It shall be within the discretion of the Director, as a condition of any such permit, to require a written agreement upon the part of the applicant to perform such work in the way stipulated by the Director and to pay the cost thereof. Section 22.139. Permit issuance to persons erecting, altering or removing buildings. When the erection, repair, alteration or removal of any building, house or structure necessitates the trimming, pruning or removal of any city-owned tree, it shall be within the discretion of the Director to grant or refuse permission to do such work. The Director may stipulate the conditions upon which any trimming, pruning or removal may be done and may request the applicant to enter into an agreement whereby the applicant shall agree to pay all costs incurred for any inspection, labor, equipment or service charge deemed necessary by the Director. Section 22.140. Protection during construction. Care shall be exercised by all individuals, developers and contractors working near preserved trees so that no damage occurs to such trees. All construction shall preserve and protect the health of trees to remain, relocated trees, and new trees planted to replace those removed in accordance with the following measures: (1) All trees to be saved shall be enclosed/delineated by an appropriate construction barrier, such as fencing or other mechanism, prior to commencement of work. Barriers are to remain in place during all phases of construction and may not be removed without the written consent of the Director. (2) Such barrier(s) must be located a distance from the trunk base of two times the trunk diameter, up to a maximum of 15 feet, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director. (3) No fill material shall be placed within three feet from the outer trunk circumference of any tree. - 5 - (4) No fill materials shall be placed within the drip line of any tree in excess of 18 inches in depth. This guideline is subject to modification to meet the needs of an individual tree species, as determined by a certified arborist or licensed landscape architect. (5) No substantial compaction of the soil within the drip line of any tree shall be undertaken. (6) No construction, including structures and walls, that disrupts the root system shall be permitted. As a guideline, no cutting of roots should occur within a distance equal to 3½ times the trunk diameter, as measured at ground level. Actual setback may vary to meet the needs of individual tree species as determined by a certified arborist or licensed landscaped architect. When some root removal is necessary, the tree crown may require thinning to prevent wind damage. Section 22.141. City-owned trees removal. With available resources, the city shall implement practices to prevent the removal of existing public trees whenever possible. The removal of a single tree or groups of trees may be approved pursuant to this article, after one of the following findings has been made: (1) The tree is dead. (2) The tree has reached an over-mature condition for its pre-existing location and will result in the deterioration of surrounding hardscaped areas potentially resulting in a health and safety hazard. (3) The tree which is infected with a disease which cannot be treated successfully, or there is a strong potential that the pathogen could spread to other trees in the immediate vicinity. (4) The tree has a severe void of heartwood due to wood consuming organisms which could potentially cause catastrophic failure (i.e. collapse). (5) A tree has been determined to be a hazard because of its high potential for failure due to considerable dead or dying foliage, branches, roots or trunk. (6) The tree requires extensive root pruning because of excessive hardscape damage resulting in the severe reduction of its capacity to support itself thereby creating a potential safety hazard. (7) A healthy living tree that has caused damage to any underground utility as a result of root blockage. (8) A tree that is causing an immediate threat to the health and safety or general welfare of the public. (9) As part of a tree master plan approved by city council. - 5 - Section 22.142. Inspection and evaluation process. (a) Prior to the removal of any city-owned tree, it shall be the city's responsibility to evaluate the condition of the tree's root system, trunk, branching system, canopy and foliage. Based upon this evaluation, the Director shall make a determination as to whether the tree must be removed. (b) The city council shall have the discretion to identify special situations where a targeted replacement program may be desirable. An example is a comprehensive streetscape project in a commercial district where a primary goal is to unify the area through a newly designed streetscape. Street trees are a significant unifying feature and it may be important to replace all or a portion of the trees in order to create this unity and give a special identity to the particular street. In cases where this is appropriate as determined by the city council, the city shall make relocation of existing healthy trees that are removed a priority. Section 22.143. Tree plans. (a) The Director in conjunction with the Public Works Department staff shall review all plans for new development in the city and may require as a condition of approval of a project that a particular number of street trees of the species desired in Section 22.144 be planted in accordance with this article. (b) Specific tree plans/tree focus areas, specifically designed to enhance/revitalize a certain area of the city, where trees are to be planted on public property, may also be adopted and amended by resolution of the city council from time-to-time. Once adopted, these plans shall also be included into this article and comply with all requirements and regulations set forth herein. All street trees shall be planted per the Street Tree Master Plan on file in the Public Works Department. Section 22.144. Street tree master plan. The Public Works Department shall prepare, and the City Council shall adopt, a tree master plan which provides for the planting, care, preservation, maintenance, removal and appropriate species for all trees on public property. Section 22.145. Street tree species. All street trees planted shall be in accordance with the city's tree master plan, and/or as directed by the City Council or by standards set forth by the NAA and/or ISA. - 5 - Section 22.146. Tree topping. It shall be unlawful for any person to top any street tree or other tree on public property. Trees severely damaged by storms or other natural causes or trees under utility wires or other obstructions which cannot be removed to provide for proper pruning may be exempted from this section by the Director or his designee. An application for an exemption from this section must be filed with the Public Works Department. Section 22.147. Enforcement. The Director, through city police officers, building inspectors and members of the public works department, in the course of their duties, when monitoring construction activities, shall check for compliance with the provisions of this article. Any irregularities or suspected violations of this article shall be reported immediately to the Director. Section 22.148. Violations. (a) It has been determined that street trees within the city are valuable environmental assets to the citizens of the community and as a result of the loss of any trees on public property, the public should be compensated, and penalties applied to assure the primary goal of conservation, protection and preservation of trees as set forth in this article. (b) It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any provision of this article. (c) In addition to or in lieu of penalties provided in Chapter 1, any person who violates any provision of this article may be required to make restitution. Such restitution may include, but shall not be limited to the replacement of a tree which has been removed, cut and/or damaged by planting a new tree of comparable size or equivalent footage. (d) The cost for replacement of a street tree, pursuant to this article, shall include the actual cost of a replacement street tree to replace the street tree that has been removed, cut, damaged or destroyed, and shall also include the cost of transporting and planting the replacement street tree. The type, number, size and location of replacement street trees shall be determined by the Director or his or her designee. (e) The city council hereby directs that all fines imposed for violation of this article be used in reforestation efforts or for the implementation of a component of the tree master plan. - 5 - Section 22.149. Appeal of action. Any person whose application for a permit under this article has been refused by the Director or his designee who may consider that the provisions of this article would cause a manifest injury to be done or is aggrieved may appeal to the City Administrator. Any person aggrieved in a similar manner by any action taken by the City Administrator may appeal such action to the City Council. The City Administrator, and ultimately the City Council if appealed, shall make final determination of the street trees that may be planted in, upon or along any portion thereof and the distances apart at which such street trees shall be planted. Section 22.150. Filing of appeals. Appeals made pursuant to this article shall be addressed to the appellate body on a form prescribed by such body, and shall state the basis of the appeal. An appeal of an action by the Director shall be filed with the City Administrator within ten days following the date of action for which an appeal is made. An appeal of a City Administrator decision shall be filed in the office of the City Administrator within ten days following the date of action. Section 22.151. Authority to inspect. The Director may inspect any tree, shrub or plant upon any street, parkway, alley or public place in the city or any tree, shrub or plant standing on any private property which overhangs or projects into any street, parkway, alley or public place in the city to determine whether the tree, shrub or plant or any part thereof is in such condition as to constitute a hazard or an impediment to the progress or vision of anyone traveling on the street, parkway, alley or public place. Section 22.152. Authority to trim or remove generally. If, in the opinion of the Director, any tree, shrub or plant is hazardous to the traveling public or impedes the progress or the vision of the public on any street, parkway, alley or public place, he may cause the tree, shrub or plant or such part thereof as is hazardous or an impediment to be trimmed or removed to remedy such condition.

ATTACHMENTS  City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-480-2019 Submitted by: Robert Sousa Submitting Department: Police Department Meeting Date: November 5, 2019 SUBJECT Proclamation Memorializing Sergeant Bobby Gene Baker and Dedicating "Baker Way" in Honor of his Service and Sacrifice to the City of Vernon Recommendation: A. Acknowledge and present a proclamation to the family of Sergeant Bobby Gene Baker and dedicating the west driveway of Vernon City Hall as "Baker Way - Private" in honor of his service and sacrifice to the City of Vernon. Background: Vernon Police Sergeant Bobby Baker began his career as a Police Officer in the City of Vernon in 1964 when he followed in his father’s footsteps and attended the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Academy at the age of 20. His father, Officer Robert Baker, was a Police Officer for the Vernon Police Department from 1954 until he retired in 1970. On April 24, 1976, at 1400 hours, Sergeant Bobby Baker was on his way to the Vernon Police Department to begin his shift at 1500 hours. As he drove westbound on Bandini Boulevard through the intersection of Soto Street (in the City of Vernon), a vehicle traveling southbound on Soto Street drove through the intersection against a solid red light. The vehicle struck the passenger’s side of Sergeant Baker’s personal vehicle, causing it to spin within the intersection. At one point, the driver’s side door of Sergeant Baker’s vehicle opened, causing him to be ejected from the vehicle. Sergeant Baker was transported to a local hospital and eventually succumbed to his injuries. After the accident, the driver of the other vehicle fled the scene with several other occupants and was never captured for the hit and run traffic collision that took Sergeant Baker’s life. Sergeant Baker was survived by his wife Barbara and his 6-year-old son Brian. Brian eventually followed in his father’s footsteps and became a Vernon Police Officer in 1994, and is currently a Lieutenant at the Downey Police Department. In a letter to Mrs. Barbara Baker shortly after Sergeant Baker’s passing, Vernon Police Chief Spencer Hogan wrote, “Bob was a fine young man. He was a credit to himself and his family; also to his uniform and the police service. He will be greatly missed by his peers in blue, personal friends and myself.” Every day, thousands of police officers throughout the country leave their families to go to work not knowing if they will make it back home to their loved ones. Dedicating the west driveway of Vernon City Hall, which is used by police department personnel, will stand to not only honor Sergeant Baker for his service to the City, but will serve as an ever-present reminder of the daily sacrifice these brave men, women and their families make to keep the City safe. The Police Department consulted with Daniel Wall, Director of Public Works, and he has no concerns in naming the private roadway behind City Hall. Fiscal Impact: None. ATTACHMENTS 1.

210/01/201900:04:44 City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-477-2019 Submitted by: Abraham Alemu Submitting Department: Public Utilities Meeting Date: November 5, 2019 SUBJECT Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement for Economic Development Incentive on Electric Service between the City of Vernon and Matheson Trigas, Inc. Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review, because it is an administrative and governmental fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project and that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; B. Approve Amendment No. 3 to Agreement for the Economic Development Incentive on Electric Service between the City of Vernon (the “City”) and Matheson Trigas, Inc., (“Customer”) in substantially the same form as submitted, to reflect the parties’ understanding that the New Customer Class rate schedule applicable to Customer eliminated the voltage discount by incorporating it into the rates, and therefore, the language in Paragraph 2 of the ED Agreement should be modified to reflect a 20% EDR discount only; and C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement for Economic Development Incentive on electric service with Matheson Trigas, Inc. Background: The City and Customer entered into the ED Agreement in anticipation of the Customer’s construction and development of an additional air separation plant (the “New Plant”), which would essentially double Customer’s electrical usage from 13.5 MW to 27 MW. When the ED Agreement was entered into, the Customer was receiving service under the TOU-V rate schedule. Under the terms of the ED Agreement, the Customer was entitled to either (i) a 20% voltage discount and a 5% economic development rate (“EDR”) discount or (ii) a 20% EDR discount and a 5% voltage discount, such that if the City modified or replaced the TOU-V rate schedule and correspondingly reduced the 20% voltage discount, the total discount received by Customer under the ED Agreement would never fall below 25%. On April 2, 2019, the City Council approved Electric Rate Adjustment plans based on recommendations from a cost of service study (collectively, the “Rate Adjustment Plans”). The new Rate Adjustment Plans went into effect on July 1, 2019. The Rate Adjustment Plans created a new TOU-Vt customer class for all current and future transmission voltage customers at 500kW demand or more taking service at a 66kV transmission voltage level (the “New Customer Class”). The New Customer Class incorporates the 66kV voltage discount and thereby eliminated the need for such discount, thus creating a cost of service basis for electric rates for customers at 500kW demand or more. As of July 1, 2019, the Customer has been taking service under the New Customer Class rate schedule and anticipates that, when the New Plant becomes fully operational in mid-August 2019, the New Plant will also take service under the New Customer Class rate schedule. The parties wish to amend the ED Agreement to reflect the parties’ understanding that the New Customer Class rate schedule applicable to the Customer eliminated the voltage discount by incorporating it into the rates, and therefore, the language in Paragraph 2 of the ED Agreement should be modified to reflect a 20% EDR discount only. Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement for Economic Development Incentive on Electric Service between the City of Vernon and Matheson Trigas, Inc., in order to modify the language in Paragraph 2 of the ED Agreement to reflect a 20% EDR discount only. Fiscal Impact: No known fiscal impact. ATTACHMENTS 1. Economic Development Incentive Amendment No. 3 with Matheson Trigas, Inc. - 1 - AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE AGREEMENT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE ON ELECTRIC SERVICE BETWEEN THE CITY OF VERNON AND MATHESON TRI-GAS, INC. This Amendment (“Amendment No. 3”) to that certain Agreement for Economic Development Incentive on Electric Service between the City of Vernon and Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc., dated June 18, 2015 (the “ED Agreement”) is made as of , 2019, by and between the City of Vernon, a California charter city and municipal corporation (the “City”), and Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. (“Customer”), a Delaware corporation. WHEREAS, the City and Customer entered into the ED Agreement in anticipation of Customer’s construction and development of an additional air separation plan (the “New Plant”), which would essentially double Customer’s electrical usage from 13.5 MW to 27 MW; and WHEREAS, when the ED Agreement was entered into, Customer was receiving service under the TOU-V rate schedule; and WHEREAS, under the terms of the ED Agreement, Customer was entitled to either (i) a 20% voltage discount and a 5% economic development rate (“EDR”) discount or (ii) a 20% EDR discount and a 5% voltage discount, such that if the City modified or replaced the TOU-V rate schedule and correspondingly reduced the 20% voltage discount, the total discount received by Customer under the ED Agreement would never fall below 25%; and WHEREAS, on April 2, 2019, the City Council approved Electric Rate Adjustment plans based on recommendations from a cost of service study (collectively, the “Rate Adjustment Plans”); and WHEREAS, the new Rate Adjustment Plans went into effect on July 1, 2019; and WHEREAS, the Rate Adjustment Plans created a new TOU-Vt customer class for all current and future transmission voltage customers at 500kW demand or more taking service at 66kV transmission voltage level (the “New Customer Class”); and WHEREAS, the New Customer Class incorporates the 66kV voltage discount and thereby eliminated the need for such discount, thus creating a cost of service basis for electric rates for customers at 500kW demand or more; and WHEREAS, as of July 1, 2019, Customer has been taking service under the New Customer Class rate schedule and anticipates that, when the New Plant becomes fully operational in mid-August 2019, the New Plant will also take service under the New Customer Class rate schedule; and WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the ED Agreement to reflect the parties’ understanding that the New Customer Class rate schedule applicable to Customer eliminated the voltage discount by incorporating it into the rates, and therefore, the language in Paragraph 2 of the ED Agreement should be modified to reflect a 20% EDR discount only. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Amendment No. 3 agree as follows: - 2 - 1. Paragraph 2 of the ED Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 2. BILL INCENTIVE. Electric service to Applicant's premises shall be delivered under Applicant's otherwise applicable tariff (“OAT”), which is Schedule TOU- Vt. A ten (10) year rate incentive of a twenty (20%) percent reduction will be applied to the customer's OAT (excluding taxes). In addition, in the event that the City of Vernon shall modify or replace Schedule TOU-Vt or any successor schedule to Schedule TOU-Vt, and such modification or replacement results in an increase of rates or charges payable by Applicant as compared to rates and charges payable by Applicant under Schedule TOU-Vt as in effect prior to each such increase, then the City of Vernon agrees that any such rate increase shall be limited to such increases as are necessary to offset increases in the City of Vernon’s costs of providing electric service to its customers (and not to increase the City of Vernon’s profits therefrom) and agrees that such increases shall be reasonably and fairly allocated across all of its customers. Without limiting the foregoing, the City of Vernon will use its best efforts to ensure that any such modification or adjustment will not cause those components of Applicant’s rates within the control of the City of Vernon in any twelve (12) month period to increase by more than five percent (5%). If the increase is greater than five percent (5%), the City of Vernon shall be deemed to have exercised best efforts if either of the following is true: (1) the aggregate rate increase, net of all discounts provided to Applicant, is equal to or less than the rate increase by Southern California Edison’s schedule TOU-8 or Los Angeles Department of Water & Power’s schedule A3, whichever is greater, for similar time periods; or (2) the increase of those components of Applicant’s rates within the control of the City of Vernon occurred notwithstanding the efforts that a prudent person with similar experience and knowledge, desirous of ensuring the result, would use in similar circumstances to ensure that such result is achieved on commercially reasonable terms. This reduction shall be calculated on the rate components of the Applicant's bill that correlate to service that the City of Vernon provides to Applicant. If needed, the City of Vernon may reduce the foregoing incentive percentage as follows to ensure that revenues equal or exceed the Floor Price. For purposes hereof, the Floor Price shall mean the Floor Price set forth in Schedule ED except that for purposes hereof the "marginal generation cost" component of the Floor Price for any fiscal year shall not exceed the mean Day-Ahead Locational Marginal Price ("LMP") for Vernon Metered Subsystem load aggregation point (on-peak or off-peak, as applicable) for such fiscal year as published by the California Independent System Operator ("CAISO"). To the extent such information is not already in the public domain, upon request, the City of - 3 - Vernon shall provide such load aggregation point data to Applicant for verification. The foregoing rate incentive under this Agreement will be limited by the Floor Price, as defined in Schedule ED and modified as set forth above. In calculating the Floor Price, the City of Vernon will make use of its best estimate of the marginal generation cost to serve Applicant. The revenues received from Applicant will be reviewed annually and/or at the end of this Agreement to ensure that they equal or exceed the Floor Price for each year of this Agreement, up to the OAT revenue that Applicant would have paid if it had not received the incentive. Applicant's rate under this Agreement will be subject to an annual review, with potential additional lump-sum charges due to the City of Vernon or credits due to Applicant as set forth in this paragraph. The charges shall ensure that the rate does not fall below the Floor Price each year. Credits, if available after the annual review, will be provided if the Applicant's incentive rate had been previously reduced from the rate incentive set forth above as a result of the application of the Floor Price limitation. 2. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment No. 3, all provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 3. The provisions of this Amendment No. 3 shall constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter included in this Amendment No. 3 and shall supersede any other agreement, understanding, or arrangement, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Amendment No. 3. 4. The person or persons executing this Amendment No. 3 on behalf of each of the parties warrants and represents that he or she has the authority to execute this Amendment No. 3 on behalf of that party and has the authority to bind that party to the performance of its obligations hereunder. [Signatures Begin on Next Page]. - 4 - IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Amendment No. 3 as of the date stated in the introductory clause.

Find that the action proposed is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as the resolution is not considered a “project” under CEQA which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a); Cal. Pub. Res. Code section 21065. Under the proposed resolution, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the resolution were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the case, the resolution would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the resolution involves making express findings and determinations that modifications to each Code are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions and will not have any effect on the environment; and B. Adopt the proposed resolution making express findings and determinations that modifications to each Code are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Background: The Fire Department is proposing to adopt the 2019 California Fire Code. The Fire Department recommends that the California Fire Code be modified by adding, deleting or amending certain provisions. California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7 requires that local code amendments to the Codes and other regulations, including but not limited to green building standards, be enacted only when an express finding is made that such modifications or changes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. The City has determined that due to the local conditions listed below modifications to the Codes are necessary: A) Climatic Conditions. Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. B) Geological Conditions. Geological conditions in the City of Vernon are affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the City. C) Topographical Conditions. Topographical conditions of the City of Vernon coupled with the density of buildings, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings and narrow streets potentially create a problem for governmental agencies to respond to emergency conditions. In addition City staff have determined that modifications are necessary to administrative portions of the Codes for clarification. These modifications are not subject to Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 since they do not modify a building standard. The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved as to form, the proposed resolution. It is recommended that the resolution be adopted setting forth the findings for each Code section modification. The resolution shall be forwarded to the California Building Standards Commission after adoption. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact with the City Council making express findings and determinations that modifications to each Code are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. ATTACHMENTS 1. Fire Code Amendment - Resolution RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON MAKING EXPRESS FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS THAT MODIFICATIONS TO THE 2019 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, 24 CCR PART 9 ARE REASONABLY NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LOCAL CLIMATIC, GEOLOGICAL OR TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958 provides that the City of Vernon may adopt ordinances and regulations imposing the same or modified requirements as are contained in the regulations adopted by the State pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17922; and WHEREAS, the State of California is mandated by Health and Safety Code Section 17922 to impose the same requirements as are contained in the most recent edition of the California Fire Code; and WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 permits the City to make modifications or changes to the Codes, which are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7(a) requires that the City Council, before making any modifications or changes to the Codes, shall make an express finding that such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and WHEREAS, modification to administrative sections of the California Fire Code is proposed to be made in order to clarify the responsibility of the permittee, permit fees, Appeals Board and other provisions which do not modify the Building Standards pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7; and - 2 - WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Vernon desires to express its finding that such changes or modifications to the Codes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Vernon finds that this action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because it is not considered a “project” under CEQA which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Guidelines section 15378(a); Cal. Pub. Res. Code section 21065. Under the proposed resolution, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the resolution were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the case, the resolution would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the resolution involves making express findings and determinations that modifications to each Code are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions and will not have any effect on the environment. SECTION 2: The Fire Department recommends that changes and modifications be made to the California Fire Code and have advised that - 3 - certain said changes and modifications to the 2019 California Fire Code are reasonably necessary to clarify administrative provisions or due to local conditions in the City of Vernon as described below: A. Climatic Conditions. Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. B. Geological Conditions. Geological conditions in the City of Vernon are affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and property in the City. C. Topographical Conditions. Topographical conditions of the City of Vernon coupled with the density of buildings, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings and narrow streets potentially create a problem for governmental agencies to respond to emergency conditions. SECTION 3: Amendments to the 2019 Edition of the California Fire Code as contained in City of Vernon Ordinance No. 1262, are found reasonably necessary based on the climatic, geological and/or topographical conditions cited above in Paragraphs A, B and C of Section 1 of this Resolution and for administrative clarification are listed in Exhibit A of this resolution.

Name: Title: Mayor / Mayor Pro-Tem ATTEST: Lisa Pope, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Brian Byun, Senior Deputy City Attorney - 5 - STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) ) ss COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ) I, Lisa Pope, City Clerk of the City of Vernon, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution, being Resolution No. _____, was duly passed, approved and adopted by the City Council of the City of Vernon at a regular meeting of the City Council duly held on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, and thereafter was duly signed by the Mayor or Mayor Pro-Tem of the City of Vernon. Executed this day of November, 2019 at Vernon, California. Lisa Pope, City Clerk (SEAL) - 6 - EXHIBIT A FINDINGS AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE 2019 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE The Fire Department recommend that changes and modifications be made to the 2019 California Fire Code and have advised that certain said changes and modifications are reasonably necessary due to local conditions in the City of Vernon as described below. Key to Justifications for Amendments to The 2019 California Fire Code A) Administrative. Amendments are necessary for administrative clarification. They do not modify a Building Standard pursuant to Sections 17958, 17958.5, and 17958.7 of the California Health and Safety Code. This amendment establishes administrative standards for the effective enforcement of building standards throughout the City of Vernon. B) Climatic. Amendments are justified on the basis of a local climatic conditions. The seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create severe fire hazards to the public health and welfare in the City of Vernon. The hot, dry weather in combination with Santa Ana winds results in extreme fire conditions for the community and increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. The aforementioned conditions combined with the geological characteristics of the county and near the City create hazardous conditions for which departure from the California Building Standards Code is required. C) Geological. Amendments are justified on the basis of local geological conditions. The City of Vernon is subject to earthquake hazards caused by its location in an active seismic activity area. Faults which potentially cause seismic activity in the City include the Whittier Fault to the east, the Raymond Fault to the north, and the Newport-Inglewood Fault to the west. Said faults are generally considered major Southern California earthquake faults which may experience rupture at any time. Such geological conditions can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the City. Thus, because the City is within seismic area which includes the aforementioned earthquake faults within the County of Los Angeles and near the City, the modifications and changes cited herein are designed to better limit property damage as a result of seismic activity and to establish criteria for repair of damaged property following a local emergency. D) Topographical. This amendment is justified on the basis of local topographical conditions. The City of Vernon is coupled with the density of buildings, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings, narrow streets potentially create a problem for governmental agencies to respond to emergency conditions. Additionally, long periods of dry, hot weather, combined with unpredictable seasonal winds (Santa Ana wind conditions) result in increased exposure to fire risk. The heavy rains tend to over-saturate the soil for a short time period during the year, having a detrimental effect on in-ground structures affected by varying moisture conditions. Fire Code Section Justification Rationale 104.7.2 Administrative This amendment provides investigation assistance when the fire code official requires reinforcement and - 7 - Fire Code Section Justification Rationale validation of origin, cause, and circumstances of an emergency event or explanations to the threat or risk of an identified problem. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 104.12 Administrative Fire apparatus and personnel respond to numerous false alarm responses due to owner/occupants not maintaining their fire alarm and/or fire protection systems. The time taken to respond to these non- emergency incidents can limit the ability of emergency responders to be available for response to legitimate emergencies and calls for assistance. The City should have the ability to collect for this additional work with the rationale that the owner or responsible party will maintain their fire alarm and/or fire protection systems if a penalty is incurred for the false alarm. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 104.13 Administrative, Climatic, Geological, Topographical At times, vehicles are left positioned on thoroughfare locations that restrict and block access to emergency vehicles. This act can impede the ability of emergency responders to arrive, investigate, and function at the scene of the incident on a timely basis, potentially causing more harm, damage, and property loss. Operators have the responsibility to position their vehicles in locations that will not hamper emergency responders from doing they’re job. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 104.14 Climatic, Geological, Topographical At times, stock, product, materials, and vehicles are left at sites that restrict and block access to emergency vehicles or obstruct ingress/egress to emergency personnel. This act can impede the ability of emergency responders to safety and quickly function at the scene of the incident, potentially causing more harm, damage, and property loss. Owners, occupants, and operators have the responsibility to position their product, materials, and vehicles in locations that will not hamper emergency responders from doing they’re job. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 104.15 Administrative Occasionally scheduled activities endorsed by property owners, their agents, and production companies occur at locations and facilities in the City that require guidance and service in the preservation of life and property. Approving fire safety personnel, trained to recognize and eliminate unsafe acts, prevent fires, and other hazardous actions will save life and property in - 8 - Fire Code Section Justification Rationale the City. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 105.1.7 Administrative The City Council shall set forth the permit and plan review fees by resolution in order to ensure sufficient funds are collected for services provided. From time to time occupants construct and/or modify the structure, building, facility or operation without providing plans or obtaining a permit for the changes. The City should have the ability to collect for this investigational work. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 105.1.1 Administrative Certain activities historically have been hazardous at work locations. Operational permits annually regulate these activities to reduce or eliminate the risks, whereas construction permits direct the building or installation of specific operational systems or functions. Permits must be posted conspicuously, either permanently or for a limited time, for view by inspectors. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 105.6.25 Climatic, Geological, Topographical Large amounts of loose wood products are a fire hazard. Currently, this permit does not incorporate pallet storage. This addition will standardize storage practices at facilities that store substantial amounts of pallets in the City. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 105.6.52 Climatic, Geological, Topographical Currently, some activities or operations occur at locations that increase the potential for loss of life or property. This permit addresses these activities and operations by regulating safer practices at facilities in the City. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 105.7.14.1 Administrative, Climatic, Geological, Topographical Currently, this permit is not listed in the CFC. The addition of this construction permit will standardize the installation of high-piled combustible storage in racks along with the requirement of providing a floor plan. The addition of this requirement will direct safer storage within buildings and facilities. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 105.8 Administrative The permittee and/or its agents shall be held responsible to ensure its work complies with the code and with other regulations or laws adopted by the State and this responsibility should not be shifted in any way to the City or its employees. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. - 9 - Fire Code Section Justification Rationale 106.6 Administrative This amendment provides the Fire Department with administrative provisions for the establishment and review of fees for services. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 106.7 Administrative Certain business operations create additional potential hazards at the workplace. These hazards are regulated by the fire code, and may require a specialized inspection. The City Council shall set forth the permit fees by resolution in order to ensure sufficient funds are collected for services provided. The City should have the ability to collect for this additional work. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 106.8 Administrative The City Council shall set forth the permit and plan review fees by resolution in order to ensure sufficient funds are collected for services provided. From time to time permittees call for an inspection when the work has not been completed or is not performed in conformance with the plans causing the City to re- inspect the work. The City should have the ability to collect for this additional work. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 106.9 Administrative From time to time permittees call for an inspection when the work has not been completed or is not performed in conformance with the plans causing the City to re-inspect the work. The City should have the ability to collect for this additional work. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 114 Administrative, Climatic, Geological, Topographical The owner, occupant and/or its agents shall be held responsible to ensure that safety and preventative measures are provided for employees, visitors, and emergency responders by maintaining fire prevention within its buildings, facilities, storage and processes. If the owner or occupant does not comply with the established codes and regulations, fees and/or penalties can be imposed. The City should have the ability to recover the costs of these expenses from the violator(s). This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 202 Administrative Definitions for fire chief and fire code official are imprecise. These modifications are specific to Vernon Fire Department. The definitions for awning, false alarm, fire safety officer and safety container were not included in section 2 of the CFC and are referenced in the adoptions, so by including them, the terms are - 10 - Fire Code Section Justification Rationale identified. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 304.1.1.1 Administrative, Climatic, Geological, Topographical Unregulated installations of solar photovoltaic systems, garden, and landscaping located on the roofs of buildings can create conditions which severely hinder firefighting ventilation operations. Firefighting ventilation allows the escape of heat, smoke, and gases from the interior compartments of a building, reduces the chances of flashover condition, and greatly helps restore and maintain a tenable interior environment in a building during a fire. In many firefighting situations, roof top vertical ventilation is the only form of ventilation that can be employed to meet the need to quickly and effectively ventilate a building’s interior. Rapid ventilation is often a critical element in allowing firefighters to enter a burning building to search for and rescue occupants, control the spread of fire, and create a tenable environment to extend the time a person could survive within a burning building. In order to traverse a roof to place an effective ventilation opening near a fire, it is required that firefighters have access to the roof surface of a building. Firefighters utilize techniques including “sounding” roofs with tools such as a rubbish hook, cutting small inspection holes with power saws in roofs to check for extension, and by using infrared cameras to check for heat concentrations on the surface of a roof. Installing roof obstructions without regard for firefighting ventilation operations may prevent firefighters from safely traveling along strong underlying roof structural members. Installing layers of waterproofing, building material, soil, and vegetation to the surface of a roof will very likely delay or preclude firefighting roof top ventilation operations unless consideration for ventilation operations were incorporated into the layout design of the roof obstruction. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 311.2.2 Climatic, Geological, Topographical Vacant premises that have fire protection systems installed must be required to maintain the systems to function in case of a fire. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 312.2 Administrative, Topographical The City of Vernon is an industrial city, with large trucks, tractor-trailers, and heavy equipment moving on public and private roadways and property. - 11 - Fire Code Section Justification Rationale Occasionally large vehicles strike protective guard posts bending, breaking and pushing them against fire protection equipment, hazardous materials containers, and other specialized appliances the posts are designed to protect.

This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 315.4.3 Climatic, Geological, Topographical Large amounts of loose wood products are a fire hazard. This addition will standardize storage practices at facilities that store substantial amounts of pallets in the City, and provide the fire department avenues to access the product piles if a fire occurs. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 315.4.4 Climatic, Geological, Topographical Significant volume pallet storage increases the potential for loss due to the increased fire load. Keeping pallet stacks organized and orderly will assist in limiting the potential for pallets falling over and restricting fire spread. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 315.4.4.1 Climatic, Geological, Topographical Combustible rubbish tends to accumulate around pallet stacks. These light fuels allow combustion to occur more readily if not cleaned up. Large amounts of pallet materials add to the fire hazard. This addition will standardize storage practices at facilities that stockpile substantial amounts of pallets in the City, and provide the fire department avenues to access the product piles if a fire occurs. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 315.4.4.2 Climatic, Geological, Topographical Climatic, geologic, and topographic events or conditions may cause pallets to fall onto a structure/awing potentially causing serious injury or death & extensive property damage. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. 503.2.1 Administrative, Topographical The Fire Department emergency vehicles are very large and difficult to maneuver when restrictions are placed on them during incidents. Additionally, some vehicles have outrigger supports that extend the footprint of the vehicle beyond the prescribed access road dimensions in the current fire code. This code modification increases the requirements of the fire apparatus access roads, thus providing sufficient space for movement and placement of emergency equipment. This change was previously adopted and included in Ordinance 1237. - 12 - Fire Code Section Justification Rationale 505.1 Administrative, Topographical The City of Vernon is an industrial city, with large industrial building which may be set back from the public right-of-way, also with large trucks, tractor- trailers and heavy equipment moving on public and private roadways and on property.

City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-438-2019 Submitted by: Claudia Arellano Submitting Department: Public Works Meeting Date: November 5, 2019 SUBJECT Findings Supporting Amendments to the 2019 California Buildings Standards Codes, 2006 International Code Council Administrative Provisions, and 2018 International Existing Building Code Recommendation: A. Find that the proposed resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as the resolution is not considered a “project” under CEQA which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a); Cal. Pub. Res. Code section 21065. Under the proposed resolution, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the resolution were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the case, the resolution would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the resolution involves making express findings and determinations that modifications to each Code are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions and will not have any effect on the environment; and B. Adopt the proposed resolution making express findings and determinations that modifications to each Code are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Background: The Public Works Department is proposing to adopt the 2019 California Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Existing Building, Residential, Green Buildings Standards and Energy Codes; the 2006 Edition of the International Code Council Electrical Code Administrative Provisions; and the 2018 International Existing Building Code (hereinafter referred to as the “Codes”). The Public Works Department recommends that these Codes be modified by adding, deleting or amending certain provisions. California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7 requires that local code amendments to the Codes and other regulations only be enacted when an express finding is made that such modifications or changes are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. The Public Works Department has determined that due to the local conditions listed below modifications to the Codes are necessary: A) Climatic Conditions. Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. B) Geological Conditions. Geological conditions in the City of Vernon are affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the City. C) Topographical Conditions. Topographical conditions of the City of Vernon including the density of buildings, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings and narrow streets potentially create a problem for governmental agencies to respond to emergency conditions. In addition, Public Works Department staff have determined that modifications are necessary to administrative portions of the Codes for clarification. These modifications are not subject to Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 since they do not modify a building standard. The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved as to form, the attached resolution. It is recommended that the attached resolution be adopted setting forth the findings for each Code section modification. The resolution shall be forwarded to the California Building Standards Commission after adoption. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact with the City Council making express findings and determinations that modifications to each Code are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.

Name: Title: Mayor / Mayor Pro-Tem ATTEST: Lisa Pope, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Brian Byun, Senior Deputy City Attorney - 6 - STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) ) ss COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ) I, Lisa Pope, City Clerk of the City of Vernon, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution, being Resolution No. _____, was duly passed, approved and adopted by the City Council of the City of Vernon at a regular meeting of the City Council duly held on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, and thereafter was duly signed by the Mayor or Mayor Pro-Tem of the City of Vernon. Executed this day of November, 2019 at Vernon, California. Lisa Pope, City Clerk (SEAL) - 7 - EXHIBIT A FINDINGS AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE 2019 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE The Public Works Department have recommended that changes and modifications be made to the Codes and have advised that certain said changes and modifications to the 2019 Editions of the California Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Existing Building, Residential, Green Building Standards, and Energy Codes are reasonably necessary due to local conditions in the City of Vernon as described below. Although findings are not necessary for the 2006 ICC Electrical Code Administrative Provisions and the 2018 International Existing Building Code, they are also set forth herein to further clarify that they are reasonably necessary due to local conditions in the City of Vernon. Key to Justifications for Amendments to the 2019 California Building Standards Code A) Administrative. Amendments are necessary for administrative clarification. They do not modify a Building Standard pursuant to Sections 17958, 17958.5, and 17958.7 of the California Health and Safety Code. This amendment establishes administrative standards for the effective enforcement of building standards throughout the City of Vernon. B) Climatic. Amendments are justified on the basis of a local climatic conditions. The seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create severe fire hazards to the public health and welfare in the City of Vernon. The hot, dry weather in combination with Santa Ana winds results in extreme fire conditions for the community and increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. These conditions combined with local geological characteristics create hazardous conditions which warrant departure from the California Building Standards Code. C) Geological. Amendments are justified on the basis of local geological conditions. The City of Vernon is subject to earthquake hazards caused by its location in an active seismic activity area. Faults which potentially cause seismic activity in the City include the Whittier Fault to the east, the Raymond Fault to the north, and the Newport-Inglewood Fault to the west. Said faults are generally considered major Southern California earthquake faults which may experience rupture at any time. Such geological conditions can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the City. Since the City is within a seismic area that includes these earthquake faults, the modifications and changes cited are designed to better limit property damage as a result of seismic activity and to establish criteria for repair of damaged property following a local emergency. D) Topographical. This amendment is justified on the basis of local topographical conditions. The density of buildings, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings, and narrow streets potentially create a problem for governmental agencies to respond to emergency conditions in the City of Vernon. Additionally, long periods of dry, hot weather, combined with unpredictable seasonal winds (Santa Ana wind conditions) result in increased exposure to fire risk. The heavy rains tend to over- saturate the soil for a short period during the year, having a detrimental effect on in-ground structures affected by fluctuating moisture conditions. Amendments to the 2019 Editions of the California Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Existing Building, Residential, Green Building Standards, Energy Codes, the 2006 ICC Electrical Code Administrative Provisions and the 2018 International Existing Building Code, are found reasonably - 8 - necessary based on the climatic, geological and/or topographical conditions cited above and for administrative clarification are listed as follows: Building Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings 105.8 Administrative Rationale – Section 105.8 establishes the responsibilities of the permittee ensuring that the work is carried out in accordance with the approved plans, the code and any other law or regulation. Findings - This amendment is necessary for administrative clarification and does not modify a Building Standards pursuant to Sections 17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7 of the California Health and Safety Code. This amendment establishes administrative standards for the effective enforcement of building standards. 110.7 Administrative Rationale – This section permits the City to charge re- inspection fees for specific instances where the permittee has caused additional work for the City inspector and created the need for an additional site inspection. Findings - This amendment is necessary for administrative clarification and does not modify a Building Standards pursuant to Sections 17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7 of the California Health and Safety Code. This amendment establishes administrative standards for the effective enforcement of building standards. 111.1 Climatic, Geological, Topographical Rationale – Many buildings within the City are left in unsafe condition when they are vacated by the prior tenant. In order to ensure the safety of the next occupant the City must inspect the building to determine if is safe to occupy in its current condition or if illegal work has been performed that must be properly permitted. In addition, due to the uniqueness of business that operate in Vernon the City must ensure that the structure complies with the requirements of the code for the proposed occupancy. This may include proper number of plumbing fixtures, appropriate storage heights, proper fire systems and appropriate facilities to store or utilize hazardous materials. Because of these factors the City requires each new occupant to obtain a certificate of occupancy for its specific use. Findings - Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another; - 9 - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city, and; The density of buildings, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings and narrow streets in the City of Vernon could potentially impact governmental agencies response to emergency conditions. 202 Climatic and Geological Rationale - There is an abundant supply of unused intermodal shipping containers, particularly in jurisdictions that have ports, that have created negative impacts on the environment. This results in more materials that are not recycled and increases energy consumption required to melt down and recycle others that are. The repurposing of existing intermodal shipping containers will help to reduce the environmental impact and improve the sustainability of the community by being less reliant on traditional construction material. This amendment is based on a similar code provision adopted into the 2021 Edition of the International Building Code. It is intended to address the environmental impact of unused materials, reduce consumption of traditional raw materials, minimize non-industrial wastes, and ensure minimum design and safety standards associated with the repurposing of existing intermodal shipping containers as buildings or structures or component of buildings and structures are achieved. Findings - Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another; The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1505.1 Climatic Rationale – Section 1505.1 is amended to allow only certain classes of roofs to be installed to the City. Due the tight spacing of large industrial buildings it is appropriate that only roofs with fire resistive properties be installed in the city to reduce the potential of the spread of fire in a wind storm. Findings - Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another - 10 - 1507.3.1 Geological Rationale - Section 1507.3.1 is amended to require concrete and clay tiles to be installed only over solid sheathing. The change is necessary because there were numerous observations of tile roofs pulling away from wood framed buildings following the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The SEAOSC/LA City Post Northridge Earthquake committee findings indicated significant problems with tile roofs were due to inadequate design and/or construction. Therefore, the amendment is needed to minimize such occurrences in the event of future significant earthquakes. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1613.5. and 1613.5.1 Geological Rationale - Observed damages to one- and two-family dwellings of light frame construction after the Northridge Earthquake may have been partially attributed to vertical irregularities common to this type of occupancy and construction. In an effort to improve quality of construction and incorporate lesson learned from studies after the Northridge Earthquake, the proposed modification to ASCE 7-16 Section 12.2.3.1 Exception 3 by limiting the number of stories and height of the structure to two stories will significantly minimize the impact of vertical irregularities and concentration of inelastic behavior from mixed structural systems. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1613.5.2 Geological Rationale - A joint Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC), Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City Task Force investigated the performance of concrete and masonry construction with flexible wood diaphragm failures after the Northridge earthquake. It was concluded at that time that continuous ties are needed at specified spacing to control cross grain tension in the interior of the diaphragm. Additionally, there was a need to limit subdiaphragm allowable shear loads to control combined orthogonal stresses within the diaphragm. Recognizing the importance and need to continue the recommendation made by the task force while taking into consideration the improved performances and standards for diaphragm construction today, this proposal increases the continuous tie spacing limit to 40 ft in lieu of 25 ft and to use 75% of the allowable code diaphragm shear to - 11 - determine the depth of the sub-diaphragm in lieu of the 300 plf and is deemed appropriate and acceptable. Due to the frequency of this type of failure during the past significant earthquakes, various jurisdictions within the Los Angeles region have taken this additional step to prevent roof or floor diaphragms from pulling away from concrete or masonry walls. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1613.5.3 Geological Rationale – The inclusion of the importance factor in this equation has the unintended consequence of reducing the minimum seismic separation distance for important facilities such as hospitals, schools, police and fire stations from adjoining structures. The proposal to omit the importance factor from Equation 12.12-1 will ensure that a safe seismic separation distance is provided. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1613.7 Geological Rational - The California Building Code has little to no information regarding the safe design and construction requirements for ceiling suspension systems subject to seismic loads. It is through the experience of prior earthquakes, such as the Northridge Earthquake, that this amendment is proposed so as to minimize the amount of bodily and building damage within the spaces in which this type of ceiling will be installed. This proposed amendment complements ASCE 7-16 Chapter 13 Section 13.5.6.2.2 and the cited reference to ASTM E580. The amended requirements retained herein are a continuation of portions of an amendment adopted during the previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1704.6 Geological Rationale – The language in Section 1704.6 of the California Building Code permits the owner to employ any registered design professional to perform structural observations with minimum guideline. However, it is important to recognize - 12 - that the registered design professional responsible for the structural design has thorough knowledge of the building he/she designed. By requiring the registered design professional responsible for the structural design or their designee who was involved with the design to observe the construction, the quality of the observation for major structural elements and connections that affect the vertical and lateral load resisting systems of the structure will greatly be increased. Additional requirements are provided to help clarify the role and duties of the structural observer and the method of reporting and correcting observed deficiencies to the building official. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1704.6.2 Geological Rationale - With the higher seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this region, the language in Section 1704.6.2 of the California Building Code would permit many low-rise buildings and structures with complex structural elements to be constructed without the benefit of a structural observation. By requiring a registered design professional to observe the construction, the quality of the observation for major structural elements and connections that affect the vertical and lateral load resisting systems of the structure will greatly be increased. An exception is provided to permit simple structures and buildings to be excluded. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1705.3 Geological Rationale – Results from studies after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake indicated that a lot of the damage was attributed to a lack of quality control during construction resulting in poor performance of the building or structure. Therefore, the proposed amendment requires special inspection for concrete with a compressive strength greater than 2,500 pounds per square inch. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. - 13 - Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1705.12 Geological Rationale - In Southern California, very few detached one- or two-family dwellings not exceeding two stories above grade plane are built as “box-type” structures, especially those in hillside areas and near the oceanfront. Many steel moment frames or braced frames and/or cantilevered columns within buildings can still be shown as “regular” structures by calculations. With the higher seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this region, the language in Section 1705.12 Exception 3 of the California Building Code would permit many detached one- or two- family dwellings not exceeding two stories above grade plane with complex structural elements to be constructed without the benefit of special inspections. By requiring special inspections, the quality of major structural elements and connections that affect the vertical and lateral load resisting systems of the structure will greatly be increased. The exception should only be allowed for detached one- or two-family dwellings not exceeding two stories above grade plane assigned to Seismic Design Category A, B and C. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1807.1.4 Climatic and Geological Rationale - No substantiating data has been provided to show that wood foundation systems are effective in supporting buildings and structures during a seismic event while being subject to deterioration caused by the combined detrimental effects of constant moisture in the soil and wood-destroying organisms. Wood foundation systems not properly treated and protected against deterioration, have performed very poorly and have led to slope failures. Most contractors are typically accustomed to construction in dry and temperate weather in the Southern California region and are not generally familiar with the necessary precautions and treatment of wood that makes it suitable for both seismic events and wet applications. The proposed amendment takes the precautionary steps to reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result in using wood foundation systems that experience relatively rapid decay due to the fact that the region does not experience temperatures cold enough to destroy or retard the growth and proliferation of wood-destroying organisms. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. - 14 - Findings - Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1807.1.6 Geological Rationale - With the higher seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this region, it is deemed necessary to take precautionary steps to reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result by following prescriptive design provisions that does not take into consideration the surrounding environment. Plain concrete performs poorly in withstanding the cyclic forces resulting from seismic events. In addition, no substantiating data has been provided to show that under-reinforced foundation walls are effective in resisting seismic loads and may potentially lead to a higher risk of failure. It is important that the benefit and expertise of a registered design professional be obtained to properly analyze the structure and take these issues into consideration.

Requiring minimum reinforcement for stepped footings is intended to address the problem of poor - 16 - performance of plain or under-reinforced footings during a seismic event. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1809.7 and Table 1809.7 Geological Rationale - No substantiating data has been provided to show that under-reinforced footings are effective in resisting seismic loads and may potentially lead to a higher risk of failure. Therefore, this proposed amendment requires minimum reinforcement in continuous footings to address the problem of poor performance of plain or under- reinforced footings during a seismic event. With the higher seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this region, precautionary steps are proposed to reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result by following prescriptive design provisions for footing that does not take into consideration the surrounding environment. It was important that the benefit and expertise of a registered design professional be obtained to properly analyze the structure and take these issues into consideration. This amendment reflects the recommendations by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Task Force that investigated the poor performance observed in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1809.12 Climatic and Geological Rationale - No substantiating data has been provided to show that timber footings are effective in supporting buildings and structures during a seismic event, especially while being subjected to deterioration caused by the combined detrimental effects of moisture in the soil and wood- destroying organisms. Timber footings, when they are not properly treated and protected against deterioration, have performed very poorly. Most contractors are typically accustomed to construction in dry and temperate weather in the Southern California region and are not generally familiar with the necessary precautions and treatment of wood that makes it suitable for both seismic event and wet applications.

The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1810.3.2.4 Climatic and Geological Rationale - No substantiating data has been provided to show that timber deep foundation is effective in supporting buildings and structures during a seismic event while being subject to deterioration caused by the combined detrimental effect of constant moisture in the soil and wood-destroying organisms. Timber deep foundation, when they are not properly treated and protected against deterioration, has performed very poorly. Most contractors are typically accustomed to construction in dry and temperate weather in the Southern California region and are not generally familiar with the necessary precautions and treatment of wood that makes it suitable for both seismic event and wet applications.

This amendment reflects the recommendations by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated the poor performance observed in 1994 Northridge Earthquake. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 1905.1 and 1905.1.9 thru 1905.1.11 Geological Rationale – This amendment is intended to carry over critical provisions for the design of concrete columns in moment frames from the legacy 1997 Uniform Building Code. Increased confinement is critical to the integrity of such columns and these modifications ensure that it is provided when certain thresholds are exceeded. In addition, this amendment carries over from the legacy 1997 Uniform Building Code a critical provision for the design of concrete shear walls. It essentially limits the use of very highly gravity-loaded walls in being included in the seismic load resisting system, since their failure could have catastrophic effect on the building. Furthermore, this amendment was incorporated in the code based on observations from the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. Rebar placed in very thin concrete topping slabs have been observed in some instances to have popped out of the slab due to insufficient concrete coverage. This modification ensures that critical boundary and collector rebars are placed in sufficiently thick topping slab to prevent buckling of such reinforcements. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings – The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 2304.10.1 Geological Rationale - Due to the high geologic activities in the Southern California area and the expected higher level of performance on buildings and structures, this proposed local amendment limit the use of staple fasteners in resisting or transferring seismic forces. In September 2007, limited cyclic testing data was provided to the ICC Los Angeles Chapter Structural Code Committee showing that stapled - 19 - wood structural shear panels do not exhibit the same behavior as the nailed wood structural shear panels. The test results of the stapled wood structural shear panels appeared much lower in strength and drift than the nailed wood structural shear panel test results. Therefore, the use of staples as fasteners to resist or transfer seismic forces shall not be permitted without being substantiated by cyclic testing. This proposed amendment is a continuation of a similar amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 2304.10.2.1 Geological Rationale – The overdriving of nails into the structural wood panel still remains a concern when pneumatic nail guns are used for wood structural panel shear wall nailing. Box nails were observed to cause massive and multiple failures of the typical 3/8-inch thick plywood during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The use of clipped head nails as allowed in Table A1 of AFPA SDPWS footnote referencing to ASTM F1667, continues to be restricted from being used in wood structural panel shear walls where the minimum nail head size must be maintained in order to minimize nails from pulling through sheathing materials. Clipped or mechanically driven nails used in wood structural panel shear wall construction were found to have much lower performance in wood structural panel shear wall testing done at the University of California Irvine. The existing test results indicated that, under cyclic loading, the wood structural panel shear walls were less energy absorbent and less ductile. The panels reached ultimate load capacity and failed at substantially less lateral deflection than those using same size hand-driven nails. This amendment reflects the recommendations by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated the poor performance observed in 1994 Northridge Earthquake. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 2304.12.5 Climatic and Geological Rationale - No substantiating data has been provided to show that wood used in retaining or crib walls are effective in supporting buildings and structures during a seismic event - 20 - while being subject to deterioration caused by the combined detrimental effect of constant moisture in the soil and wood- destroying organisms. Wood used in retaining or crib walls, when they are not properly treated and protected against deterioration, have performed very poorly. Most contractors are typically accustomed to construction in dry and temperate weather in the Southern California region and are not generally familiar with the necessary precautions and treatment of wood that makes it suitable for both seismic event and wet applications. The proposed amendment takes the precautionary steps to reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result by using wood in retaining or crib walls that experience relatively rapid decay due to the fact that the region does not experience temperatures cold enough to destroy or retard the growth and proliferation of wood- destroying organisms. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 2305.4 Geological Rationale - ICC-ES AC 155 Acceptance Criteria for Hold- downs (Tie-Downs) Attached to Wood Members is widely used to establish allowable values for hold-down connectors in evaluation reports. AC 155 uses monotonic loading to establish allowable values. Yet, cyclic and dynamic forces imparted on buildings and structures by seismic activity cause more damage than equivalent forces that are applied in a monotonic manner. However, the engineering, regulatory and manufacturing industries have not reached consensus on the appropriate cyclic or dynamic testing protocols. This condition is expected to continue for some time. In the interim, this proposed amendment continues to limit the allowable capacity to 75% of the evaluation report value to provide an additional factor of safety for statically tested anchorage devices. Steel plate washers will reduce the additional damage that can result when hold-down connectors are fastened to wood framing members. This amendment reflects the recommendations by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated - 21 - the poor performance observed in 1994 Northridge Earthquake. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles with additional editorial revisions for clarification. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 2306.2 Geological Rationale - The Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated the damages to buildings and structures during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake recommended reducing allowable shear values in wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms that were not substantiated by cyclic testing. That recommendation was consistent with a report to the Governor from the Seismic Safety Commission of the State of California recommending that code requirements be "more thoroughly substantiated with testing.” The allowable shear values for wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms fastened with staples are based on monotonic testing and does not take into consideration that earthquake forces load shear wall or diaphragm in a repeating and fully reversible manner. In September 2007, limited cyclic testing was conducted by a private engineering firm to determine if wood structural panels fastened with staples would exhibit the same behavior as the wood structural panels fastened with common nails. The test result revealed that wood structural panel fastened with staples appeared to be much lower in strength and stiffness than wood structural panels fastened with common nails. It was recommended that the use of staples as fasteners for wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms not be permitted to resist seismic forces in structures assigned to Seismic Design Category D, E and F unless it can be substantiated by cyclic testing. Furthermore, the cities and county within the Los Angeles region has taken extra measures to maintain the structural integrity of the framing of shear walls and diaphragms designed for high levels of seismic forces by requiring wood sheathing be applied directly over the framing members and prohibiting the use of panels placed over gypsum sheathing. This proposed amendment is intended to prevent the undesirable performance of nails when gypsum board softens due to cyclic earthquake displacements and the nail ultimately does not have any engagement in a solid material - 22 - within the thickness of the gypsum board. This proposed amendment continues the previous amendment adopted during the 2010 code adoption cycle. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 2306.3 Geological Rationale - The Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated the damages to buildings and structures during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake recommended reducing allowable shear values in wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms that were not substantiated by cyclic testing.

Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. 2308.6.8.1 Geological Rationale – With the higher seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this region, interior walls can easily be called upon to resist over half of the seismic loading imposed on simple buildings or structures. Without a continuous foundation to support the braced wall line, seismic loads would be transferred through other elements such as non-structural concrete slab floors, wood floors, etc. The proposed change is to limit the use of the exception to structures assigned to Seismic Design Category A, B or C where lower seismic demands are expected. Requiring interior braced walls be supported by continuous foundations is intended to reduce or eliminate the poor performance of buildings or structures.

R301.1.3.2 Geological Rationale – After the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, the - 34 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings Wood Frame Construction Joint Task Force made recommendations to improve the quality of wood frame construction. One such recommendation identified by the Task Force is to improve the quality and organization of structural plans prepared by the engineer or architect so that plan examiners, building inspectors, contractors and special inspectors may logically follow and construct the presentation of the seismic force-resisting systems in the construction documents. For buildings or structures located in Seismic Design Category D0, D1, or D2 that are subject to a greater level of seismic forces, the requirement to have a California licensed architect or engineer prepare the construction documents is intended to minimize or reduce structural deficiencies that may cause excessive damage or injuries in wood frame buildings. Structural deficiencies such as plan and vertical irregularities, improper shear transfer of the seismic force-resisting system, missed details or connections important to the structural system, and the improper application of the prescriptive requirements of the California Residential Code can be readily addressed by a registered design professional. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R301.1.4 Topographical, Geological Rationale - Due to the difficulty of fire suppression vehicles accessing winding and narrow hillside properties and the probabilities for future earthquakes in the Los Angeles region, this technical amendment is required to address the special needs for buildings constructed on hillside locations. A joint Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and both the Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City Task Force investigated the performance of hillside building failures after the Northridge earthquake. Numerous hillside failures resulted in loss of life and millions of dollars in damage. These criteria were developed to minimize the damage to these structures and have been in use by both the City and County of Los Angeles for several years with much success. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles. Findings - The density of buildings, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings and narrow streets in the City of Vernon - 35 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings could potentially impact governmental agencies response to emergency conditions. The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. Items 1, 3 and 5 of Section R301.2.2.2.6 Geological Rationale - With the higher seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this region, precautionary steps are proposed to reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result by limiting the type of irregular conditions specified in the California Residential Code. Such limitations are intended to reduce the potential structural damage expected in the event of an earthquake. The cities and county of the Los Angeles region have taken extra measures to maintain the structural integrity of the framing of the shear walls and all associated elements when designed for high levels of seismic loads. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R301.2.2.11 Geological Rationale - There is no limitation for weight of mechanical and plumbing fixtures and equipment in the International Residential Code. Requirements from ASCE 7 and the International Building Code would permit equipment weighing up to 400 lbs. when mounted at 4 feet or less above the floor or attic level without engineering design. Where equipment exceeds this requirement, it is the intent of this proposed amendment that a registered design professional be required to analyze if the floor support is adequate and structurally sound. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R401.1 Climatic, Geological Rationale - No substantiating data has been provided to show that wood foundation is effective in supporting buildings and structures during a seismic event while being subject to deterioration caused by the combined detrimental effect of constant moisture in the soil and wood-destroying organisms. Wood foundations, when they are not properly treated and protected against deterioration, have performed very poorly and have led to slope failures. Most contractors are typically accustomed to construction in dry and temperate weather in the Southern California region and are - 36 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings not generally familiar with the necessary precautions and treatment of wood that makes it suitable for both seismic event and wet applications. The proposed amendment takes the precautionary steps to reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result in using wood foundation that experience relatively rapid decay due to the fact that the region does not experience temperatures cold enough to destroy or retard the growth and proliferation of wood- destroying organisms. However, an exception is made for non-occupied, single-story storage structures that pose significantly less risk to human safety and may utilize the wood foundation guidelines specified in this Chapter. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles for the California Residential Code. Findings - Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another; The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R403.1.2, R403.1.3.6 and R403.1.5 Geological Rationale - With the higher seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this region, precautionary steps are proposed to reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result for under-reinforced footings located on sloped surfaces. Requiring minimum reinforcement for stepped footings is intended to address the problem of poor performance of plain or under-reinforced footings during a seismic event. Furthermore, interior walls can easily be called upon to resist over half of the seismic loading imposed on simple buildings or structures. Without a continuous foundation to support the braced wall line, seismic loads would be transferred through other elements such as non- structural concrete slab floors, wood floors, etc. The proposed change is to limit the use of the exception to structures assigned to Seismic Design Category A, B or C where lower seismic demands are expected. Requiring interior braced walls be supported by continuous foundations is intended to reduce or eliminate the poor performance of buildings or structures. This proposed amendment is consistent with an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles for the California Residential - 37 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings Code. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R404.2 Climatic and Geological Rationale - No substantiating data has been provided to show that wood foundation wall is effective in supporting buildings and structures during a seismic event while being subject to deterioration caused by the combined detrimental effect of constant moisture in the soil and wood-destroying organisms. Wood foundation walls, when they are not properly treated and protected against deterioration, have performed very poorly and have led to slope failures. Most contractors are typically accustomed to construction in dry and temperate weather in the Southern California region and are not generally familiar with the necessary precautions and treatment of wood that makes it suitable for both seismic event and wet applications. The proposed amendment takes the precautionary steps to reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result in using wood foundation walls that experience relatively rapid decay as the region does not experience temperatures cold enough to destroy or retard the growth and proliferation of wood-destroying organisms. This proposed amendment is consistent with an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles for the California Residential Code. Findings - Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another. The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R501.1 Geological Rationale - There is no limitation for weight of mechanical and plumbing fixtures and equipment in the California Residential Code. Requirements from ASCE 7 and the California Building Code would permit equipment weighing up to 400 lbs. when mounted at 4 feet or less above the floor or attic level without engineering design. Where equipment exceeds this requirement, it is the intent of this proposed amendment that a registered design professional is required to analyze if the floor support is adequate and structurally sound. - 38 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R503.2.4 Geological Rationale - Section R502.10 of the Code does not provide any prescriptive criteria to limit the maximum floor opening size nor does Section R503 provide any details to address the issue of shear transfer near larger floor openings. With the higher seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this region, it is important to ensure that a complete load path is provided to reduce or eliminate potential damages caused by seismic forces. Requiring blocking with metal ties around larger floor openings and limiting opening size is consistent with the requirements of Section R301.2.2.6. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. Lines 19, 20, 23, and 33 - 36 of Table R602.3(1) Geological Rationale - The Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated the damages to buildings and structures during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake recommended reducing allowable shear values in wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms that were not substantiated by cyclic testing. That recommendation was consistent with a report to the Governor from the Seismic Safety Commission of the State of California recommending that code requirements be "more thoroughly substantiated with testing.” The allowable shear values for wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms fastened with staples are based on monotonic testing and does not take into consideration that earthquake forces load shear wall or diaphragm in a repeating and fully reversible manner. In September 2007, limited cyclic testing was conducted by a private engineering firm to determine if wood structural panels fastened with staples would exhibit the same behavior as the wood structural panels fastened with common nails. The test result revealed that wood structural panel fastened with staples appeared to be much lower in strength and stiffness than wood structural panels fastened with common nails. It was recommended that the use of staples as fasteners for wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms – as well as other sheathing materials - not be permitted to resist - 39 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings seismic forces in structures assigned to Seismic Design Category D0, D1, or D2 unless it can be substantiated by cyclic testing. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. Exception of Section R602.3.2 and Table R602.3.2 Geological Rationale - The cities and county of the Los Angeles region have taken extra measures to maintain the structural integrity of the framing of the shear wall system for buildings and structures subject to high seismic loads by eliminating single top plate construction. The performance of modern day braced wall panel construction is directly related to an adequate load path extending from the roof diaphragm to the foundation system. A single top plate is likely to be over nailed due to the nailing requirements at a rafter, stud, top plate splice, and braced wall panel edge in a single location. In addition, notching on a single top plate for plumbing, ventilation and electrical wiring may reduce the load transfer capacity of the plate without proper detailing. A majority of buildings and structures designed and built per the California Residential Code with a single top plate may not need structural observation and special inspections. The potential construction mistakes mentioned above could not be caught and corrected by knowledgeable engineers and inspectors, and could jeopardize structural performance of buildings and structures located in high seismic areas. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. Footnote “b” of Table R602.3(2) Geological Rationale = The Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated the damages to buildings and structures during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake recommended reducing allowable shear values in wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms that were not substantiated by cyclic testing. That recommendation was consistent with a report to the Governor from the Seismic Safety Commission of the State of California recommending that code requirements be "more thoroughly substantiated with testing.” The allowable shear values for wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms fastened with staples are based on monotonic testing and does not take into - 40 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings consideration that earthquake forces load shear wall or diaphragm in a repeating and fully reversible manner. In September 2007, limited cyclic testing was conducted by a private engineering firm to determine if wood structural panels fastened with staples would exhibit the same behavior as the wood structural panels fastened with common nails. The test result revealed that wood structural panel fastened with staples appeared to be much lower in strength and stiffness than wood structural panels fastened with common nails. It was recommended that the use of staples as fasteners for wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms – as well as other sheathing materials - not be permitted to resist seismic forces in structures assigned to Seismic Design Category D0, D1 and D2 unless it can be substantiated by cyclic testing. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R602.10.2.3 Geological Rationale - Plywood shear walls with high aspect ratio experienced many failures during the Northridge Earthquake. This proposed amendment specifies a minimum braced wall length to meet an aspect ratio consistent with other sections of the California Residential Code as to provide a uniform standard of construction for designers and buildings to follow. This is intended to improve the performance level of buildings and structures that are subject to the higher seismic demands and reduce and limit potential damages to property. This proposed amendment reflects the recommendations by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated the poor performance observed in 1994 Northridge Earthquake. This proposed amendment is consistent with an amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles for the California Residential Code. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. Table R602.10.3(3) Geological Rationale - Due to the high geologic activities in the Southern California area and the expected higher level of performance on buildings and structures, this proposed local amendment increase the length and limits the location where - 41 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings shear walls sheathed with lath, plaster or gypsum board are used in multi-level buildings. In addition, shear walls sheathed with other materials are prohibited in Seismic Design Category D0, D1 and D2 to be consistent with the design limitation for similar shear walls found in the California Building Code. The poor performance of such shear walls in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake was investigated by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Task Force and formed the basis for this proposed amendment. Considering that shear walls sheathed with lath, plaster or gypsum board are less ductile than steel moment frames or wood structural panel shear walls, the cities and county of the Los Angeles region have taken the necessary measures to limit the potential structural damage that may be caused by the use of such walls at the lower level of multi- level building that are subject to higher levels of seismic loads. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. Table R602.10.4 Geological Rationale – 3/8” thick 3 ply-plywood shear walls experienced many failures during the Northridge Earthquake. Box nails were observed to cause massive and multiple failures of the typical 3/8” thick 3-ply plywood during the Northridge Earthquake. This proposed amendment specifies minimum sheathing thickness, nail size and spacing so as to provide a uniform standard of construction for designers and buildings to follow. This is intended to improve the performance level of buildings and structures that are subject to higher seismic demand and reduce and limit potential damage to property. This proposed amendment reflects the recommendations by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated the poor performance observed in 1994 Northridge Earthquake. In September 2007, limited cyclic testing was conducted by a private engineering firm to determine if wood structural panels fastened with staples would exhibit the same behavior as the wood structural panels fastened with common nails. The test result revealed that wood structural panel fastened with staples appeared to be much lower in strength and - 42 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings stiffness than wood structural panels fastened with common nails. It was recommended that the use of staples as fasteners for wood structural panel shear walls or diaphragms not be permitted to resist seismic forces in structures assigned to Seismic Design Category D0, D1 and D2 unless it can be substantiated by cyclic testing. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city.

Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R602.12.2.2.3 Geological Rationale - Reinforcement using longitudinal wires for buildings and structures located in high seismic areas are deficient and not as ductile as deformed rebar. Having vertical reinforcement closer to the ends of masonry walls help to improve the seismic performance of masonry buildings and structures. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R803.2.4 Geological Rationale - Section R802 of the Code does not provide any prescriptive criteria to limit the maximum roof opening size nor does Section R803 provide any details to address the issue of shear transfer near larger roof openings. With the higher seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this region, it is important to ensure that a complete load path is provided to reduce or eliminate potential damage caused by seismic forces. Requiring blocking with metal ties around larger roof openings and limiting opening size is consistent with the requirements of Section R301.2.2.2.5. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. R905.3.1 Geological Rationale - Section R905.3.1 is amended to require concrete and clay tiles to be installed only over solid sheathing. The change is necessary because there were numerous observations of tile roofs pulling away from wood framed buildings following the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The SEAOSC/LA City Post Northridge Earthquake committee findings indicated significant problems with tile roofs were due to inadequate design and/or construction. Therefore, the amendment is needed to minimize such occurrences in the event of future significant earthquakes. Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and structures in the city. - 45 - Residential Code Section Local Condition Explanation and Findings R1001.3.1 Geological Rationale - The performance of fireplace/chimney without anchorage to the foundation has been observed to be inadequate during major earthquakes.
