Council Electrical Code Administrative Provisions; (5) the 2016 California Mechanical Code, 24
Regular City Council Meeting Agenda
November 15, 2016
CCR Part 4; (6) the 2016 California Plumbing Code, 24 CCR Part 5; (7) the 2016 California
Existing Building Code, 24 CCR Part 10; (8) the 2015 International Existing Building Code; (9)
the 2016 California Residential Code, 24 CCR Part 2.5; (10) the 2016 California Green Building
Standards Code also called the CALgreen Code, 24 CCR Part 11, and; (11) the 2016 California
Energy Code, 24 CCR Part 6; repealing all prior ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict
therewith (First Reading)
Recommendation:
A. Find that the action proposed herein 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 Chapters 7 and 24 of the Vernon Municipal Code, along with amendments, additions
and deletions and adopting by reference the following codes: (1) the 2016 California Fire Code,
24 California Code of Regulations (CCR) Part 9; (2) the 2016 California Building Code, 24 CCR
Part 2; (3) the 2016 California Electrical Code, 24 CCR Part 3; (4) the 2006 Edition of the
International Code Council (ICC) electrical Code Administrative Provisions; (5) the 2016
California Mechanical Code,24 CCR Part 4; (6)the 2016 California Plumbing Code,24 CCR Part

RE: Ordinance to Adopt and Amend the California Building Standards Code,
Electrical Code Administrative Provisions, and International Existing
Building Code; and to Amend Chapters 7 and 24 of the Vernon Municipal
Code
Recommendation
1) Find that the action proposed herein 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.
2) Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance amending
various sections of Chapters 7 and 24 of the Vernon Municipal Code, along with
amendments, additions and deletions and adopting by reference the following codes: (1)
the 2016 California Fire Code, 24 California Code of Regulations (CCR) Part 9; (2) the
2016 California Building Code, 24 CCR Part 2; (3) the 2016 California Electrical Code,
24 CCR Part 3; (4) the 2006 Edition of the International Code Council (ICC) electrical

2016 California Residential Code, 24 CCR Part 2.5; (10) the 2016 California Green
Building Standards Code also called the CALGreen Code, 24 CCR Part 11, and; (11) the
2016 California Energy Code, 24 CCR Part 6.
Background
The State of California Building Standards Commission ("Commission") recently adopted the
2016 California Building, Fire, 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, 2016,they are scheduled to become effective at the local level
on January 1, 2017.
Pursuant to Sections 50022.2 et se__lc. 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) Chapters A2 and A5 and repair criteria of the 2015 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 Fire-Life Safety Committee, Structural Committee, Green and
{ Sustainability Committee, and Administrative Committee the following goals have been
established:
1
1) Create uniformity of building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, energy efficiency and
green codes that can be adopted in most of the jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles
region, which creates predictability for members of the local construction industry;
1 Page 2 of 9
{
2) Reduce the total number of local technical amendments to the model code 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 a majority of the jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles
region in formulating and implementing the 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 2016 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 Building Code Committee, design professionals in
the construction industry, and other interested groups or individuals. The only exception to the
City staff s recommendation to include the LARUCPs recommendations in their entirety is Section
1613.7, which involves seismic design in hillside buildings. The reason that 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. City staff has reviewed the
state codes and, in addition to those recommended by the LARUCP, City staff have proposed a
number of local amendments for adoption within the Vernon Municipal Code with the proper
4 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
jincrease 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
j 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
Page 3 of 9
i
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, City 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.
Findings of fact and justifications to amendments of the CBSC and the 2006 International Code
Council Electrical Code Administrative Provisions and the 2015 International Existing Building
Code are submitted to the City Council under separate cover for approval.
2016 Vernon Fire Code
The California Fire Code regulates minimum fire safety requirements for new and existing
buildings, facilities, storage and processes. It 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 2016 California Fire Code, including the appendices
and standards contained therein, published by the International Code Council and the California

construction and maintenance of electrical installations from the meter into the property. It is
recommended that the 2016 California Electrical Code, excluding appendices, copyrighted by the
National Fire Protection Association and the California Building Standards 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

3) Establishes various technical amendments as developed by the LARUCP to
j improve the seismic and wind loading capabilities of structures within the City
Page 6 of 9
i
2016 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 2016 California Existing Building Code and referenced
standards contained therein, published by the International Code Council and the California
Building Standards Commission, be adopted as the Vernon Existing Building Code.
2015 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. City staff believes that a minimum recognized standard should be established for
the retrofit of these structures. Appendix Chapter A2 of the 2015 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. Chapter A2 of the
2012 International Existing Building Code was previously adopted as the retrofit standard for tilt-
up concrete walled buildings. In addition, Chapter A5 of the 2012 International Existing Building
Code was previously adopted as the seismic retrofit standards for concrete framed buildings. It is
recommended that Chapters A2 and A5 of the 2015 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-
Lip concrete buildings that exist in the City. Although the International Existing Building Code is
I 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.

minimum regulations for the design and construction of new buildings
and additions to existing buildings when constructing such buildings on
or into slopes steeper than one unit vertical in three units horizontal
(33 . 30) . These regulations establish minimum standards for seismic
force resistance to reduce the risk of injury or loss of life in the
event of earthquakes .
1613 .7 .2 Scope. The provisions of this section shall apply to
the design of the lateral-force-resisting system for hillside buildings
at and below the base level diaphragm. The design of the lateral-force-
resisting system above the base level diaphragm shall be in accordance
with the provisions for seismic and wind design as required elsewhere
in this division.
Exception: Non-habitable accessory buildings and decks not
supporting or supported from the main building are exempt from these
regulations .
1613 .7 .3 Definitions. For the purposes of this section
certain terms are defined as follows :
BASE LEVEL DIAPHRAGM is the floor at, or closest to, the top
of the highest level of the foundation.
DIAPHRAGM ANCHORS are assemblies that connect a diaphragm to
the adjacent foundation at the uphill diaphragm edge .
DOWNHILL DIRECTION is the descending direction of the slope
approximately perpendicular to the slope contours .
FOUNDATION is concrete or masonry which supports a building,
including footings, stem walls, retaining walls, and grade beams .
FOUNDATION EXTENDING IN THE DOWNHILL DIRECTION is a
- 26 -
foundation running downhill and approximately perpendicular to the
uphill foundation.
i
HILLSIDE BUILDING is any building or portion thereof
i
j
constructed on or into a slope steeper than one unit vertical in three
units horizontal (33 . 3%) . If only a portion of the building is
supported on or into the slope, these regulations apply to the entire
E
building.
i
x
PRIMARY ANCHORS are diaphragm anchors designed for and
s'
providing a direct connection as described in Sections 1613 . 7 . 5 and
3
j 1613 . 7 . 7 . 3 between the diaphragm and the uphill foundation.
SECONDARY ANCHORS are diaphragm anchors designed for and
i
s providing a redundant diaphragm to foundation connection, as described
l
in Sections 1613 . 7 . 6 and 1613 . 7 . 7 .4 .
UPHILL DIAPHRAGM EDGE is the edge of the diaphragm adjacent
and closest to the highest ground level at the perimeter of the
i
' diaphragm.
i
a
UPHILL FOUNDATION is the foundation parallel and closest to
1
1 the uphill diaphragm edge .
{
1613 .7 .4 Analysis and Design.
1613 .7 .4 .1 General . Every hillside building within the scope
i
of this section shall be analyzed, designed, and constructed in
accordance with the provisions of this code . When the code-prescribed
i
i
wind design produces greater effects, the wind design shall govern, but
g detailing requirements and limitations prescribed in this and
referenced sections shall be followed.
1613 .7 .4 .2 Base Level Diaphragm-Downhill Direction. The
t
E
following provisions shall apply to the seismic analysis and design of
the connections for the base level diaphragm in the downhill direction.
27 -
1613 .7 .4 .2 .1 Base for Lateral Force Design Defined. For
seismic forces acting in the downhill direction, the base of the
building shall be the floor at or closest to the top of the highest
level of the foundation.
1613 .7 .4 .2 .2 Base Shear. In developing the base shear for
seismic design, the response modification coefficient (R) shall not
exceed 5 for bearing wall and building frame systems . The total base
shear shall include the forces tributary to the base level diaphragm
including forces from the base level diaphragm.
1613 .7 . 5 Base Shear Resistance-Primary Anchors .
1613 .7 .5. 1 General. The base shear in the downhill direction
shall be resisted through primary anchors from diaphragm struts
provided in the base level diaphragm to the foundation.
1613 .7 .5.2 Location of Primary Anchors. A primary anchor and
diaphragm strut shall be provided in line with each foundation
extending in the downhill direction. Primary anchors and diaphragm
struts shall also be provided where interior vertical lateral-force-
resisting elements occur above and in contact with the base level
diaphragm. The spacing of primary anchors and diaphragm struts or
collectors shall in no case exceed 30 feet (9144 mm) .
1613 .7 .5 .3 Design of Primary Anchors and Diaphragm Struts.
Primary anchors and diaphragm struts shall be designed in accordance
with the requirements of Section 1613 . 7 . 8 .
1613 .7 .5 .4 Limitations. The following lateral-force-resisting
elements shall not be designed to resist seismic forces below the base
level diaphragm in the downhill direction:
1 . Wood structural panel wall sheathing,
2 . Cement plaster and lath,
- 28 -
3 . Gypsum wallboard, and
4 . Tension only braced frames .
Braced frames designed in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2205 . 2 . 1 . 2 may be used to transfer forces from the primary
anchors and diaphragm struts to the foundation provided lateral forces
i
do not induce flexural stresses in any member of the frame or in the
I
diaphragm struts . Deflections of frames shall account for the variation
in slope of diagonal members when the frame is not rectangular.
I
1613 .7 . 6 . Base Shear Resistance-Secondary Anchors.
i
i
1613 .7 . 6 . 1 General. In addition to the primary anchors
required by Section 1613 . 7 . 5, the base shear in the downhill direction
shall be resisted through secondary anchors in the uphill foundation
i
connected to diaphragm struts in the base level diaphragm.
i
I Exception: Secondary anchors are not required where
foundations extending in the downhill direction spaced at not more than
30 feet (9144 mm) on center extend up to and are directly connected to
the base level diaphragm for at least 70% of the diaphragm depth.
1613 .7 . 6 .2 Secondary Anchor Capacity and Spacing. Secondary
anchors at the base level diaphragm shall be designed for a minimum

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CONTROL
Our staff continued to conduct routine inspections and assisted business representatives to properly complete
annual Hazardous Materials Business Plan forms using the new California Environmental Reporting System
(CERS) which allows electronic submittals of hazardous materials inventories and permit information. Zero
Class 1 violations were found, ten Class 2 violations were observed, and four minor violations were noted
during routine inspections performed of hazardous materials facilities. Department staff will continue to
monitor these facilities to ensure that all violations have been corrected.
Please note: According to The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). violation types
are defined as: Class I Violation: The Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 25110.8.5defines a Class I
Violation as a violation that is a significant threat to human health or safety or the environment because of
volume, hazardousness, and/or proximity to population at risk. A Class I Violation is also a violation that
could result in a failure to ensure adequate financial assurance, perform corrective action or emergency
cleanup; or a repeating Class II Violation committed by a recalcitrant violator. Class II Violation: The
California Code of Regulation (CCR), title 22. section 66260.10 and Health and Safety Code (HSC) section
25110.8.5, subdivision (b) define a Class 1I Violation as a violation that is not a Class I Violation and does
not meet the conditions of a Minor Violation. Minor Violation: The Health and Safety Code (HSC) section
25117.6 defines a Minor Violation as a subset of a Class II Violation that is not knowing, willful or
intentional, does not enable the Respondent to gain an economic benefit for noncompliance, is not chronic or
is not committed by a recalcitrant violator.
The month of October was notable for emergency response actions. Environmental Specialist Erik Cheng
investigated a fire sprinkler line release in a food storage facility. Erik confirmed that the facility cleaned
and sanitized affected food equipment and disposed of all contaminated food products.
. . .
Closure and cleanup activities included the ongoing site assessments/closure at Exide Technologies on
Indiana Street, the former Pechiney facility on Fruitland Avenue, and 4060 E. 26`h Street at the former U.S.
Fertilizer site.
Chief Deputy Director David LeDuff prepared and submitted the October, 2016 CUPA evaluation response
to CaIEPA. Our department has continued to make significant progress in addressing deficiencies noted
during CalEPA's initial evaluation back in September, 2015. The Department has continued to coordinate
efforts to correct deficiencies noted during the Vernon CUPA evaluation conducted by CalEPA in
September, 2015. Vernon HECD staff has been making a diligent effort to comply with CalEPA's requests.
UNDERGROUND TANK PROGRAM
No underground storage tanks were removed during the month of October. Two underground storage tank
facilities were inspected by staff noting no violations.
Chief Deputy Director David LeDuff conducted a California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) and
Underground Storage Tank(UST)training for field staff as requested by the State Water board. The training
focused on the proper procedures for reviewing UST CERS submittals.
FOOD PROGRAM
Staff continued in conducting inspections of food facilities throughout the facility as part of a routine basis
by the Department. No major violations were noted during these inspections.
Senior Environmental Specialist Lyndon Ong Yiu conducted several plan checks on proposed remodeling
and new construction for food facilities. Lyndon also monitored construction of two new food facilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Environmental Specialist Erik Cheng collected eleven monthly water samples during the month of
September. The samples were tested and found to be negative for a-coli and total coliforms. All the samples
met State standards for potability.
Senior Environmental Specialist Lyndon Ong Yiu assisted the Public Works Department with training on
lead in soil issues.
. . . .
Health Department staff inspected 25 food booths at the Sabor de Mexico event on October 1, 2016 and
found no major violations.
Environmental Specialist Erik Cheng conducted weekly surveys of the Los Angeles River for mosquitoes.
Pockets of activity were noted, and all mosquito larvae were physically eliminated. Mosquito breeding was
also observed by Erik in the storm drain basin of a freezer business in the City which was corrected
immediately by the business owner.
In collaboration with the Community Services Department, Senior Environmental Specialist Jerrick Torres
and Environmental Specialist Erik Cheng conducted a mosquito survey at the Vernon Village apartments.
Mosquito breeding evidence was observed and a notice of violation to eliminated sources of mosquito
breeding was issued to the property management company. Department staff will continue to monitor to
ensure that all violations have been corrected.
Senior Environmental Specialist Jerrick Torres inspected all active construction sites Citywide to ensure that
storm water best management practices were being followed to prevent waste water discharge and runoff
from entering the storm drain system.
The Health Department continued to be an active participant with the Exide Technologies closure. Director
Keith Allen and Chief Deputy Director David LeDuff attended an Exide Advisory Group community
meeting on October 20, 2016 in Huntington Park. The latest updates on DTSC's residential sampling project
were given by DTSC. Lastly for Exide,the City's website has an Exide information page for the public to
obtain information.
SOLID WASTE PROGRAM
The final report for the 2015/2016 Solid Waste Enforcement grant was submitted to Cal Recycle. This grant
was used by the Department to help pay for inspection related equipment.
. . .
Staff continued in conducting inspections of solid waste facilities throughout the City as part of a routine
basis by the Department. No violations were noted during these inspections.
. . .

RE: Acceptance of Electrical Easement at 3200 Slauson Avenue (APN 6310-027-023)
Recommendations
A. Find that the acceptance of the Electrical Easement proposed in this staff report is not a "project"
as that term is defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines
Section 15378, and even if it were a project, it would be categorically exempt in accordance with
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (maintenance, repair or minor alteration of an existing facility
and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use) and 15061(b)(3) (general rule that
CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment); and
B. Accept the Electrical Easement,in substantially the same form as attached to this staff report, and
authorize the Mayor to execute the Certificate of Acceptance.
BachMund
The property located at 3200 Slauson Avenue has been redeveloped and an easement is needed for
the installation and maintenance of City-owned electrical conduit and equipment serving the
property. The Public Works, Water and Development Services Department has received a fully
executed Electrical Easement by Imperial Real Estate Holdings, L.P., a California limited partnership
for the property located at the above-mentioned location (Assessor's Parcel Number 6310-027-023).
The easement has been reviewed and approved by staff in both the Gas& Electric and Public Works,
Water& Development Services Departments and has also been approved as to form by the City
Attorney's Office. It is now recommended that the City Council accept the easement.
Fiscal Impact
Acceptance of the proposed Electrical Easement has no fiscal impact.

RE: Resolution Adopting the Findings Supporting Amendments to the California
State Buildings Codes, the International Code Council Electrical Code
Administrative Provisions, and the International Existing Building Code
Recommendation
A. Find that the action proposed herein 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, Water & Development Services Department in conjunction with the Fire
Department(hereinafter referred to as "Departments") are proposing to adopt the 2016 California
Fire,Building, Electrical, Mechanical,Plumbing, Existing Building,Residential, Green Buildings
Standards and Energy Codes. In addition it is also proposed to adopt the 2006 Edition of the
International Code Council Electrical Code Administrative Provisions and the 2015 International
Existing Building Code (hereinafter referred to as the "Codes"). The Departments have
recommended 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, 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.
f 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
i
topographical conditions.

EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE 2016 CALIFORNIA
BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
The Fire Department and Public Works, Water and Development Services Department have recommended
that changes and modifications be made to the Codes and have advised that certain said changes and
modifications to the 2016 Editions of the California Fire, Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing,
Existing Building, Residential, Green Building Standards, and Energy Code 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 2015 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.
Ivey to Justifications for Amendments to
The 2016 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. 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.
t
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.
7 -
Fire Code Section Justification Rationale
104.7.2 Administrative This amendment provides investigation assistance
when the fire code official requires reinforcement and
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 1217.
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
1217.
j 104.13 Administrative, At times, vehicles are left positioned on thoroughfare
Climatic, Geological, locations that restrict and block access to emergency
Topographical 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 1217.
104.14 Climatic, Geological, At times, stock,product,materials, and vehicles are
Topographical 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
j product,materials, and vehicles in locations that will

304.1.1.1 Administrative, Unregulated installations of solar photovoltaic
Climatic, Geological, systems, garden, and landscaping located on the roofs
Topographical 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
s 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 1217.

adopted and included in Ordinance 1217.
315.4.4.1 Climatic, Geological, Combustible rubbish tends to accumulate around pallet
Topographical 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

Administrative Provisions and the 2016 International Existing Building Code, are found reasonably
necessary based on the climatic, geological and/or topographical conditions cited above and for
administrative clarification are listed as follows:

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 a

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, Rationale—Many buildings within the City are left in unsafe
Geological, condition when they are vacated by the prior tenant. In order
Topographical 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

Section
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;
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;
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.
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 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.
1507.3.1 Geological Rationale - Section 1507.3.1 is amended to require concrete
' and clay tiles to be installed only over solid structural
sheathing boards. 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 was 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.
1613.5.2 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
- 16 -
Building Code Local Condition Explanation and Findings
Section
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.
1613.5.3 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
7-10 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.
1613.5.4 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 improve 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
determine the depth of the subdiaphragm 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
- 17 -
Building Code Local Condition Explanation and Findings
Section
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.
1613.5.5 Geological Rationale—Amendment in the California Building Code is
made to be consistent with ASCE 7-16 and is further
amended herein to be consistent with ASCE 7-16
Supplement 1. The modification is necessary to avoid
misinterpretation on the intent of the five story limit for
which the SD,s cap is applicable where there is flexible
structure above a rigid podium base. The addition of"grade
plane"clarifies the intent that the base is measured from the
lowest structure in those instances where there is a vertical
combination of two systems. Many of such combinations of
systems will not satisfy exclusion 1, in which the structure
must meet the definition of"regular"based on ASCE 7
Section 12.3.2. This modification provides safe design
requirements in the selection of building period to calculate
seismic base shear in building design accounting for
dynamic story mass distribution throughout the inelastic
range of ground motion. This amendment does not prevent
€ designing of five levels of light frame wood construction on
top of a concrete podium by using the calculated SDS
without the 70% cap.
{
Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby
location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss
i of life and structures in the city.
1613.8 Geological Rationale -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 7-10 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
18 -
i
Building Code Local Condition Explanation and Findings
Section
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 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 were 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
3 code adoption cycles.
Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby
S location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss
of life and structures in the city.
1704.6.1 Geological Rationale - With the higher seismic demand placed on
buildings and structures in this region,the language in
i Section 1704.6.1 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.

Building Code Local Condition Explanation and Findings
Section
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.
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.
jThe exception should only be allowed for detached one-or
two-family dwellings not exceeding two stories above
grade plane assigned to Seismic Design category A,B and
C.
Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby
location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss
of life and structures in the city.
1807.1.4 Climatic and Rationale -No substantiating data has been provided to
Geological 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
- 20 -
Building Code Local Condition Explanation and Findings
Section
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.
Findings - Adverse climatic conditions and strong winds
such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the
likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one
building to another.
The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of
earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and
structures in the city.
1807.1.6 Geological Rationale - With the higher seismic demand placed on
buildings and structures in this region,it is deemed necessary
to take precautionary steps to reduce or eliminate potential
I problems that may result by following prescriptive design
s 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.
This proposed amendment is a continuation of an
amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles.
Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby
location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss
of life and structures in the city.
1809.3 Geological Rationale - With the higher seismic demand placed on
21 -
Building Code Local Condition Explanation and Findings
Section
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
f
an amendment adopted during previous code adoption
cycles.
Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby
location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss
of life and structures in the city.
1809.7 and Table Geological Rationale-No substantiating data has been provided to show
1809.7 that under-reinforced footings are effective in resisting
seismic loads and may potentially lead to a higher risk of
failure. Therefore, this proposed amendment requires
minimum reinforcement in continuous footings to address
the problem of poor performance of plain or under-
reinforced footings during a seismic event. With the higher
seismic demand placed on buildings and structures in this
region, precautionary steps are proposed to reduce or
eliminate potential problems that may result by following
prescriptive design provisions for footing that does not take
into consideration the surrounding environment. It was
important that the benefit and expertise of a registered design
professional be obtained to properly analyze the structure
and take these issues into consideration. This amendment
reflects the recommendations by the Structural Engineers
Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) and the Los
Angeles City Task Force that investigated the poor
performance observed in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake.
This proposed amendment is a continuation of an
amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles.
Findings - The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby
location of earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss
of life and structures in the city.
1809.12 Climatic and Rationale-No substantiating data has been provided to show
Geological that timber footings are effective in supporting buildings and
structures during a seismic event, especially while being
subjected to deterioration caused by the combined
detrimental effects of moisture in the soil and wood-
destroying organisms. Timber footings, when they are not
properly treated and protected against deterioration, have

performed very poorly. Most contractors are typically
accustomed to construction in dry and temperate weather in
the Southern California region and are not generally familiar
with the necessary precautions and treatment of wood that
makes it suitable for both seismic event and wet applications.
The proposed amendment takes the precautionary steps to
reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result by
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
amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted
during previous code adoption cycles.

such as those in existence in the City of Vernon increase the
likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one
building to another.
i The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of
earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and

1810.3.2.4 Climatic and Rationale-No substantiating data has been provided to show
Geological that timber deep foundation is effective in supporting
I buildings and structures during a seismic event while being
subject to deterioration caused by the combined detrimental
effect of constant moisture in the soil and wood-destroying
organisms. Timber deep foundation, when they are not
properly treated and protected against deterioration, has
performed very poorly. Most contractors . are typically
accustomed to construction in dry and temperate weather in
the Southern California region and are not generally familiar
with the necessary precautions and treatment of wood that
makes it suitable for both seismic event and wet applications.
The proposed amendment takes the precautionary steps to
reduce or eliminate potential problems that may result by
using timber deep foundation 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
amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted
during previous code adoption cycles.

The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of
earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and
structures in the city.
1905.1.7 Geological Rationale-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. 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

1905.1 and 1905.1.9 Geological Rationale—This amendment is intended to carry over critical
thru 1905.1.11 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
r amendment adopted during previous code adoption cycles.

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
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

23 04.12.5 Climatic and Rationale-No substantiating data has been provided to show
Geological that wood used in retaining or crib walls are effective in

The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of

+ structures in the city.
2305.4 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 Al of AFPA SDPWS footnote referencing to ASTM
F 1667, 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
j shear wall construction were found to perform much less in
previous 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

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.
2305.5 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 the poor performance observed in
1994 Northridge Earthquake. This proposed amendment is

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
j 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.

R301.1.3.2 Geological Rationale — After the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, the
Wood Frame Construction Joint Task Force recommended
that the quality of wood frame construction need to be
greatly improved. 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 Do, Di, Da or E 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

of life and structures in the city.
IR301.1.4 Topographical, Rationale -Due to the difficulty of fire suppression vehicles
Geological accessing winding and narrow hillside properties and the
probabilities for future earthquakes in the Los Angeles

special needs for buildings constructed on hillside locations.
A joint Structural Engineers Association of Southern
California(SEAOSC) and both the Los Angeles County and
jLos 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
a structures in the city.
Items 1, 3 and 5 of Geological Rationale - With the higher seismic demand placed on
j Section R301.2.2.2.5 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 International Residential Code. Such
limitations are intended to reduce the potential structural
damage expected in the event of an earthquake. The cities
I and county of the Los Angeles region has 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.
R301.2.2.3.8 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, Rationale-No substantiating data has been provided to show
Geological that wood foundation is effective in supporting buildings and

deterioration caused by the combined detrimental effect of
constant moisture in the soil and wood-destroying
organisms. Wood foundation, when they are not properly
treated and protected against deterioration, have performed
very poorly and have led to slope failures. Most contractors
are typically accustomed to construction in dry and
temperate weather in the Southern California region and are
not generally familiar with the necessary precautions and
treatment of wood that makes it suitable for both seismic
event and wet applications. The proposed amendment takes
the precautionary steps to reduce or eliminate potential
problems that may result in using wood foundation 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

s
building to another;
The City of Vernon is affected by the nearby location of
earthquake faults that can create tremendous loss of life and

R403.1.2, Geological Rationale - With the higher seismic demand placed on
R403.1.3.6 and buildings and structures in this region, precautionary steps
R403.1.5 are proposed to reduce or eliminate potential problems that
3
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

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

Requiring blocking with metal ties around larger floor
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

rt Table R602.3(1) 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

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

Table R602.10.3(3) Geological Rationale - Due to the high geologic activities in the
Southern California area and the expected higher level of
performance on buildings and structures,this proposed local
amendment increase the length and limits the location where
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 Do, DI 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
3 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 has taken the necessary
measures to limit the potential structural damage that may be
t caused by the use of such walls at the lower level of multi-
level building that are subject to higher levels of seismic
loads. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an

602.3.2 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. 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

cost-effective through studies previously conducted.
Research has shown that the greater Los Angeles region
suffers from heat island with the temperature having
increased as the region became more urban. The higher
temperatures are closely related to air pollution.
Additionally,raising temperatures increase the overall and
peak energy consumption for cooling creating additional air
pollution from the increased power production.
