PUBLIC HEARING
2. Fire Department Amendments to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 7 - Fire Regulations, and Adoption of the 2019 California Fire Code by Reference
Recommendation:
A. 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. 1. Notice of Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 1262 - Fire Code Amendments
2. Ordinance No. 1262 - Fire Code Amendments
3. Public Works 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

1. Notice of Public Hearing - Bldg Ordinance 2. Ordinance No. 1261 - Building Code Amendments
4. Public Works 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

is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-427-2019
Submitted by: Adriana Ramos
Submitting Department: Fire Department
Meeting Date: November 5, 2019
SUBJECT
Amendments to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 7 - Fire Regulations, and Adoption of the 2019 California Fire Code
by Reference
Recommendation:
A. 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. 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.
2019 Vernon Fire Code
The California Fire Code regulates minimum fire safety requirements for new and existing buildings, facilities, storage
and processes. The California Fire Code addresses fire prevention, fire protection, life safety, and safe storage and use
of hazardous materials in new and existing buildings, facilities, storage and processes. It is recommended that the 2019
California Fire Code, including the appendices and standards contained therein, published by the International Code
Council and the California Building Standards Commission be adopted as the Fire Code of the City of Vernon with the
proposed amendments outlined herein. The proposed amendments for the Fire Code are summarized as follows:
1)General authority and responsibilities
2)Permits
3)Fee schedule
4)Responsibility
5)Definitions
6)Outside storage
7)Vehicle impact protection
8)Fire apparatus access roads
9)Fire protection water supplies
10)Fire protection systems
11)Spray finishing
12)Explosives
13)Storage (flammable and combustible liquids)
14)Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas
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.

PROPOSED CEQA
FINDINGS:Staff will recommend that the City
Council find the proposed ordinance is exempt
from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
as this ordinance is not considered a “project”
under CEQA which is defined as a whole of 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
activityisbeing undertaken.Even iftheordinance
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
thepotential for causing a significant effect onthe
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
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.
The hearing may be continued,adjourned or
cancelled and rescheduled to a stated time and
placewithout further notice ofapublic hearing.

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.

PROPOSED CEQA
FINDINGS: Staff will recommend tliat die City Council find the proposed ordinance is exempt
from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this ordinance is not
considered a "project" under CEQA which is defined as a whple of 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(6x3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which
have the potential for causing a significant effect on tfie 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
If you challenge the adoption of the proposed ordinance to amend Cl~npter 24, Building and Construction of the
Vernon Munici~l Code and repealing all prior ordinances and part of ordinances in conflict therewith or any
provision thereof in court, you maybe limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the hearing
described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Vernon at, or prior to, the meeting.

PROPOSED CEQA
FINDINGS:Staff will recommend that the City
Council find the proposed ordinance is exempt
from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
as this ordinance is not considered a “project”
under CEQA which is defined as a whole of 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
activityisbeing undertaken.Even iftheordinance
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
thepotential for causing a significant effect onthe
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
theenvironment.
If you challenge the adoption of the proposed
ordinance to amend Chapter 24,Building and
Construction of the Vernon Municipal Code and
repealing all prior ordinances and part of
ordinances in conflict therewith or any provision
thereof in court,youmay belimited toraising only
those issues you or someone else raised at the
hearing described in this notice or in written
correspondence delivered to the City of Vernon
at,or priorto,the meeting.

SECTION J101
GENERAL
J101.1 Scope. The provisions of this Appendix J apply to
grading, excavation and earthwork construction, including fills and
embankments and the control of grading site runoff, including erosion
sediments and construction-related pollutants. Where conflicts occur
between the technical requirements of this Appendix J and the
geotechnical report, the more restrictive requirement shall govern. In
addition to the provisions contained in this Appendix J, the grading
shall also comply with all provisions contained in Chapter 21 of the City
code.
J101.2 Flood hazard areas. The provisions of this Appendix J
shall not apply to grading, excavation and earthwork construction,
including fills and embankments, in floodways within flood hazard areas
established in Section 1612.3 or in flood hazard areas where design flood
elevations are specified but floodways have not been designated, unless
it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the
proposed work will not result in any increase in the level of the base
flood.
J101.3 Hazards. Whenever the building official determines that
any land or any existing excavation or fill has, from any cause, become
a menace to life or limb, or endangers public or private property, or
adversely affects the safety, use or stability of public or private
property, the owner or other person in legal control of the property
concerned shall, upon receipt of a written notice thereof from the
- 44 -
building official, correct such condition in accordance with the
provisions of this Appendix J and the requirements and conditions set
forth in the notice so as to eliminate such condition. The owner or other
person in legal control of the property shall immediately comply with
the provisions set forth in the notice and shall complete the work within
180 days from the date of the notice unless a shorter period of time for
completion has been specified in the notice in which case the owner shall
comply with the shorter period of time. Upon written application and good
cause shown, the building official may approve the request for an
extension of time to complete the work required by the notice.
J101.4 Safety precautions.
1. If at any stage of work on an excavation or fill, the
building official determines that the work has become or is likely to
become dangerous to any person, or is likely to endanger any property,
public or private, the building official is hereby authorized to require
safety precautions to be immediately taken by the property owner as a
condition to continuing such permitted work or to require cessation
thereof forthwith unless and until it is made safe and to amend the plans
for such work.
2. Safety precautions may include, but shall not be limited
to, specifying a flatter exposed slope or construction of additional
drainage facilities, berms, terracing, compaction, cribbing, retaining
walls or buttress fills, slough walls, desilting basins, check dams,
benching, wire mesh and guniting, rock fences, revetments or diversion
walls.
3. Upon the determination of the building official that such
safety precautions during grading are necessary, the building official
shall provide a notice and order to the permittee to implement same.
- 45 -
After receiving such notice in writing it is unlawful for the permittee
or any person to proceed with such work contrary to such order.
J101.5 Protection of utilities. The owner and permittee of any
property on which grading has been performed and that requires a grading
permit under Section J103 shall be jointly and severally responsible for
the prevention of damage to any public utilities or services.
J101.6 Protection of adjacent property. The owner and permittee
of any property on which grading has been performed and that requires a
grading permit under Section J103 shall be jointly responsible for the
prevention of damage to adjacent property and no person shall excavate
on land sufficiently close to the property line to endanger any adjoining
public street, sidewalk, alley, or other public or private property
without supporting and protecting such property from settling, cracking
or other damage that might result. Special precautions approved by the
building official shall be made to prevent imported or exported materials
from being deposited on the adjacent public way and/or drainage courses.
J101.7 Storm water control measures. The owner and permittee
of any property on which grading has been performed and that requires a
grading permit under Section J103 shall put into effect and maintain all
precautionary measures necessary to protect adjacent water courses and
public or private property from damage by erosion, flooding, and
deposition of mud, debris and construction-related pollutants originating
from the site during, and after, grading and related construction
activities. Furthermore, the owner and permittee shall be jointly and
severally responsible for putting into effect and maintaining appropriate
measures as deemed by the building official to be necessary to prevent
any change in cross-lot surface drainage that may adversely affect any
adjoining property as a result of grading, construction-related
- 46 -
activities or both. Such measures to prevent any adverse cross-lot
surface drainage effects on adjoining property shall be required whether
shown on approved grading plans or not.
J101.8 Conditions of approval. In granting any permit under
this code, the building official may include such conditions as he/she
deems to be reasonably necessary to prevent the creation of a nuisance
or hazard to public or private property. Such conditions may include,
but shall not be limited to:
1. Improvement of any existing grading to comply with the
standards of this code.
2. Requirements for fencing of excavations or fills which
would otherwise be hazardous.
3. Establishment of haul routes.
4. Establishment of water quality best management practices.
J101.9 Rules and regulations.
J101.9.1 Rules. The permissive provisions of this chapter shall
not be presumed to waive any regulations imposed by other statutes or
other ordinances of the State of California or the City.
J101.9.2 Regulations. If two or more pertinent regulations are
not identical, those regulations shall prevail which are more restrictive
or which afford greater safety to life, limb, health, property or welfare.
For the purposes of these regulations, grading permits shall be
considered as building permits and shall be subject to the administrative
provisions of this code, unless otherwise specifically provided for in
this Appendix J or the Vernon Municipal Code, or both.
J101.10 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
General. All grading plans and permits shall comply with the provisions
of Chapter 21 of the City Code. Sites which have been graded and which
- 47 -
require a grading permit under Appendix J Section J103 are subject to
penalties and fines. Payment of penalty fines shall not relieve any
persons from fully complying with the requirements of this code in the
execution of the work. All best management practices shall be installed
before grading begins or as instructed in writing by the building
official. As grading progresses, all best management practices shall be
updated as necessary to prevent erosion and control construction related
pollutants from discharging from the site. All best management practices
shall be maintained in good working order to the satisfaction of the
building official unless final grading approval has been granted by the
building official and all permanent drainage and erosion control systems,
if required, are in place.

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.

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

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-461-2019
Submitted by: Robert Sousa
Submitting Department: Police Department
Meeting Date: November 5, 2019
SUBJECT
California Highway Patrol (CHP) “10851” Grand Theft Auto Recovery Award
Presentation by: Vernon Police Department and CHP Representative
Recommendation:
No action required by City Council. This is a presentation only.
Background:
The “10851” Grand Theft Auto Award is named after the California Vehicle Code section pertaining to motor vehicle
theft. This award is sponsored in collaboration between the CHP and AAA Insurance, and recognizes police officers
throughout California who have been proactive in recovering stolen vehicles and apprehending criminals involved in auto
theft.
The “10851” pin is awarded to uniform officers who during a 12-month period achieve any of the following criteria:
1.Made six separate auto theft recoveries cleared by arrests.
2.Recover twelve (12) stolen vehicles, of which a minimum of three (3) must be cleared by arrests.
This period Officer Fernando Valenzuela has achieved this benchmark. This is the eleventh award attained by Officer
Valenzuela who is very proactive in auto theft investigations, and has done a great job combating auto theft crimes in our
community. Given the very specific requirements for such an award, very few officers ever achieve this type of
recognition.
Fiscal Impact:
None.

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.

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.

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.

stated in the introductory clause.

Submitted by: Mark Aumentado
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: November 5, 2019
SUBJECT
Notice of Completion - City Contract No. LP-0460 - Well No. 11 Pump and Motor Project
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review
because it is an administrative activity 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 § 15378;
B. Accept the Work by General Pump Company, Inc. with regard to the Well No. 11 Pump and Motor project,
Contract No. LP-0460; and
C. Authorize the Interim General Manager of Public Utilities to submit for recordation to the Los Angeles County
Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (“County Clerk”) the Notice of Completion for the Well No. 11 Pump and Motor
Project.
Background:
In August 2018, Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) advertised a Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) for the Well No. 11 Pump and
Motor Project (“Project”). The Contract was awarded by City Council to General Pump Company, Inc. (“GPC”) on
February 19, 2019. The primary objective of the Project was to equip Well No. 11 (“Well”) with a new pump and
motor.
The Project began on May 6, 2019. Two Change Orders were approved by the City Administrator. Via the
aforementioned Change Orders, the Contract Time was extended to September 8, 2019 and the scope modified
predominantly to change the designed water pre-lubrication system to a water flush lubrication system. In addition, the
modified scope also included a new airline and removed motor procurement from the Scope of Work. The Change
Order Work was performed for an additional $5,018.00, well within the contingency amount authorized for the Project.
The Contractor completed the Work on schedule and the Well is performing as anticipated. After passing the necessary
water quality tests, the Well was placed back in service on September 18, 2019. The Well is currently producing 1,100
gallons per minute.
Fiscal Impact:
General Pump Company, Inc. completed the Well No. 11 Pump and Motor Project within the budgeted amount for
$125,718.00. No cost is associated with submitting the Notice of Completion for recordation with the County Clerk.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-441-2019
Submitted by: Adriana Ramos
Submitting Department: Fire Department
Meeting Date: November 5, 2019
SUBJECT
Findings Supporting Amendments to the 2019 California Fire Code
Recommendation:
A. 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.

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 code modification increases the
requirements of the guard posts, thus providing better
protection of the equipment. 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.

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. The increase in the
address numbers will provide better visibility for
emergency response. This change was previously
adopted and included in Ordinance 1237.

Appendix B of the California Fire Code provides fire
flow requirements for buildings. The City of Vernon as
an industrial city, density of buildings and narrow
streets, the modification of the code increases the fire
flow requirements, thus providing, better protection for
an industrial city, therefore it is recommended that
Table B105.2 of Appendix B of the California Fire
Code be amended.
Appendix C Administrative Appendix C of the California Fire Code provides
requirements for the locations and distribution of fire
hydrants. The City of Vernon currently establishes
standards for Fire Hydrant Location and Distribution.
The requirements within the Fire Code would conflict
with the City’s requirements; therefore it is
recommended that Appendix C of the California Fire
Code be deleted. This change was previously adopted
and included in Ordinance 1237.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1809.3 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. This proposed amendment is a continuation of

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

- 17 -
using timber footings that experience relatively rapid decay
due to the face that the region does not experience
temperatures cold enough to destroy or retard the growth and
proliferation of wood-destroying organisms. This proposed

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

footings during a seismic event. This amendment reflects
the recommendations by the Structural Engineers
Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los

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

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. This proposed amendment is a

Local Condition Explanation and Findings
303.1 Administrative 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 businesses 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.

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

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 -

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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. The lack of anchorage
to the foundation can result in the overturning or
displacement of the fireplace/chimney.
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.

Local Condition Explanation and Findings
101.12 Administrative Rationale – The City has established a fee schedule of its
own based on the actual cost of service. This section also
permits the City to charge a 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. It does not modify a Building Standards
pursuant to Sections 17958 and 18941.5 of the California
Health and Safety Code and does not require an express
finding to be made pursuant to Sections 17958.5 and
17958.7 of the California Health and Safety Code. This
amendment establishes administrative standards for the
effective enforcement of green building standards and
therefore need to be incorporated into the code to assure that
new buildings and structures and additions or alterations to
existing buildings or structures are designed and constructed
in accordance with the scope and objectives of the California
Green Building Standards Code.
4.106.4.2 Climatic Rationale - This proposed amendment requires a certain
percentage of parking stalls to be provided with EV charging
spaces capable of supporting future EVSE and EV charging
stations. Increasing the number of EV charging spaces or
stations will allow both the community and residents to
benefit from reduced local air and noise pollution, combat
climate change, and improve their health and lifestyle.
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.
