SUBJECT: Recammendation to Adopt a Resolution Making Findings of
Local Climatic, Gealogical and Topographical Conditions
in arder to Adopt Local Amendments to the Unifarm
Technical Cades and an ordinance for Intraduction and
First Reading Adopting the 1994 Uniform Technical Codes
and Adopting the Santa Monica Amendments to the 1994
Uniform Technica~ Cades Including New Standards for the
Inspection and Repair of Steel Frame Buildings, Building
Permit Terms~ and Technical Amendments
INTRODUGTION
This staff report r~commends that the City Council adopt the
attached resolution making findings of lacal climatic, geologica~
and topographical conditions in orde~ to adopt local amendments to
the Uniform Codes, hereafter known as "uniform technical cades"
(See Attachment A), and introduce for first reading the attached
ardinance adapting the 1994 editions of the uniform technical
codes, related to building construction and local amendments
thereto {See Attachment B). Every three years, new editions of ~.he
various uniform technical codes are pro~nulgated and published by
the delegated conferences of regulatory officials and subsequently
adapted by the State of California and local jurisdicti~ns as
req~ired by state Iaw. These codes govern the method of building
construction within the City.

This staff report recommends adopting the 1994 editions of the
Codes, along with amendments to the Codes previously appraved by
the City Cauncil. A resolution making findings of local conditions
is necessary to adapt the local amendments. Additionally, new
standards are recammended relating to the inspection and repair of
steel frame buildinqs, building permit terms, and minor technical
adjustments.
BACKGR~UND
The foilowing are local amendm~nts to the unifarm technical cades.
Most are identical ta the prev~ous local amendments made by the
City in approving the 1991 and earlier editions of these codes, or
have been recently adopted by ordinance by the City Council and are
naw being ~ncluded in the uniform technical codes. Accarding ta
State law, local amendments to th~ codes are required to be based
on findings that "such changes are reasonably necessary because of
laca~ climatic, geo~agica2 ar topagraphical cvnditions" ~n the
C~ty. A resolution is attached ~ox adaption making those findings.
The new issues befare the Counci~ far adoption inc~ude the
requirement for steel frame building retrafitting, and the
establishment of building permit terms, both discussed in more
detail below.

REORGANIZATION OF CODES
As part ~f the adoption of the 1994 uniform technical codes, the
Ordinance is being reorganized in order to make the local
amendments follow the section they amend. Staff believes this will
clari~y the Ordinance and allow for better understanding and
interpretation of the local amendments. This rearganizatian
includes r~numbering of the sections. Some local amendments ha~e
also been deleted because they are now included in the uniform
technical codes.
In addition, the Fire Sectian has been reorganized based upan the
recent council actian on the integrated sprinkler ordinance to
clarify chang~s and remove outdated requirements.
ADMINISTRATION CODE AMENDMENTS
It is recommended that the Uniform Administrative Code be amended
for local conditions in the following three areas:
o Boards of Appeal
o Building Permit Terms
~ Permit Faes
Boards o€ Appeal
The City of Santa Monica has a number of unique Zocal conditions
related to seismic activity and fire hazards that are out~ined in
detail below. Du~ to the unique cond~tions in the City, it is
necessary to amend the Administrative Code section relating to
Boards of Appeal to ensure reasanable interpretation af the Cades
for the City of Santa Monica and establish appropriate appeals and
3
advxsory boards. The City has the following appeals and advisory
boards per this amendment: the Building and Safety Commission,
Accessibility Appeals Board, Electrical Appeals Baard, and
Plumbing/Mechanical Appeals Boaxd {see Section 8.04.02Q.020).
Bui~c3ing Permit Terms
The City has experienced a number of situations where minimal
construction raork is perfarmed under a building permit, and
completion of the project stretches over a period of years. This
practice raises a number of concerns.
In addition to neighbors af such sites being impacted by
canstructian activity, by safety issues associated with
construction sites, and by aesthetic impacts aver a long time
period, both building and planning codes may have changed since the
permit was issued due to unique local conditions, resu~ting in
concerns about public safety and consistency with community
planning abjectives.
For example, as a result of the 1994 earthquake and the threat of
seismic activity in the City as described in detail below,
technical changes to the building code have been and will be made;
older permits wauld not be impacted by these code changes,
Similarly, evolution of the planning reg~lations is an angoing
process, and older permits are sometimes inconsistent with currer-t
city policy addressing unique local conditions.
4
To address these issues, staff has incorporated regulations which
establish maximum time periods allowed to complete construction,
with varying time p~riads based on permit valuation {see Sectian
8.04.020.030). This approach is modeled on that used in San
Francisco's building code. The City of Irvine also uses this type
of approach for residential remodeling prajects, and staff has
incorparated some features of Irvine's reguZations.
The recommend~d time periods vary. Projects with higher permit
naluations are allocated longer time periods to complete
construction. In addition, thr~e extensions af the time periads
may be granted by the Building Official, providing additional
flexibility to addr~ss special situations.
Permit Fees
Permit fees wi2~ no langer be set as part of the uniform technicaZ
cades, but instead will be set by separate resolution. Updated
fees were recently adopted on February 28, Z995 by the City
Council, and no changes to that fee structure are recommended at
this time {See Sectian 8.04.020,050).
FIRE $AFETY
The amendments to the Unifar~ Building Code for Fire Safety and
Prevention Requirements, and ~ire safety Duties and Procedures, are
necessary for a number of unique iocal conditions. These
conditions include the following:
5
o The Safety Element of the General Plan, adopted in
January, 1995, shows the high risk of seismic activity in
the City due to the ciose proximity of the City to the
Santa Monica-Malibu Coast fault, the Newport-Inglewaod
faul.t and the San Andreas fault. The Safety Element
discusses the damaging effect local. seismic activity
would have an street, raadways and overpasses at the
Santa Monica Freeway which wot~ld hamper and delay
e~nergency vehicle response.
o The Safety Element also identifies that many af the
structures in the City are older structures which are
prone to the quick spread of fire from adjacent
structures due to the ~ateriais used ir~ eonstruction anc~
less stringent fire resistant technology available at the
time they were built.
o The Master Environmental Assessment (MEA), adopted in
September, 1993, shows that Santa Monica's climate is
primarily influenced by the Pacific Ocean and is
characterized by infrequent rainfall and winds which come
from the west during the daytime and from the north and
northeast during the nighttime, with intermittent Santa
Ana winds accurring from September to March. These
canditions create the potential foar high velocity winds
with high temperatures which are conducive to
uncontrolled wind driven fires.
o The MEA also shows that structures in the City are
situated in close proximity to each other, with only
about l~ of the 8.3 square miles that th~ City occupies
~acant. In addition, these lots are often very narrow or
an hil~y terrain, which limits access to side yards for
fire suppression and placement of ladders for rescu~
operations. These conditions increase the threat to life
and property and cantributes ta the ability of ~ires ta
spread quickly between buildings because of their
proximity to each other.
o Analysis of the eme~gency response to the January 17,
1994 earthquake shows that the need for emergency fire
services in the City greatly exceeded the available
resources of the Fire Department and ther~ remains the
significant possibility that multiple fires fallowing a
future earthquake will exceed th~ available resources af
the Fire Departmen~.
In order to address these climatic, topographical and gealogical
canditions that places demands on emergency services, the City has
6
adopted Supplemental Fire and Sa~ety Prevention Requir~ments for a
number of years, and recently expanded the f ire spr~nkler
requirement to apply to all new construction.
Based primarily upon an 1988 Attorney General's Opinion, thare has
been some ambiguity regarding a city's ability to adopt fire and
panic safety requirements more stringent than thase adopted by the
Stat~ Fire Marsha~, even when findings regarding local conditions
could b~ made. Legislation was adapted in 1990 to attempt to
resolve this ambiguity (Health and Safety Code Section 13143.5).
While clarifying a city's xight to regulate more stringently with
resp~ct to fire and panic safety in general, unfortunately the
legislation specifically left open the question whether such local
authority includes the right to mandate installation of residentia~
fire sprinkler systems within newly constxucted dwelling units
(Section 13143.5(by). Litigation regarding the issue has occurred
at the tria~ court level, and different caurts have reached
different resuZts. Sometimes ordinances mandating the instaZ~ation
of residential fire sprinkler systems have been sustained;
sometimes they have been aver~urned. The City of Livermore~s
residential sprinkler ordinance was recently upheld by the Alameda
County Superior Court, and an appeal is pending. This case is
being watched closely by numerous ~urisdictions across the State.
7
These fire sprink~er amendments are necessary because in thE event
of an earthquake or other major disaster, the Fire Department wi11
be forced ta depend on built-in fire suppression systems ta
extinguish or limit fires in those structures so that they da nat
spread to the older structures thereby reducing the potential
demand from simultaneous incidents an emergency services resources.
The following are the local amendments:
o Require automatic fire extinguishing and detection
systems in all new construction and when there is a
change in use to a higher classification (S~e Section
8.04.040.020).
o Require fire access in new high rise bui~dings with human
accupancy above 55 feet of th~ highest fire vehicle
access point (See Section 8.04.040.020 Da.vision 3.a2}.
o Require stairway aecess ta the raof for new bu~ldings
with four or more stories to ensure safe escape routes in
case of a flr2 (See Section 8.04.040.020 Division 3.~3).
o Require fire safety procedures, like fi.re alarm systems,
fire safety doors, appropriate signage, and evacuation
procedures in existing non-residential buildings, and
existing buildings used as hotels, apartments, or lodgzng
houses with fl.oars more than 30 feet above fire
department access (See Section Divisian 3.04).
o Require fire safety pracedures, like partial automatic
fire sprinkler systems, and automatic shutoff of
mechanical systems, and smoke detectars, for existzng
non-residentia]. buiZdings, hoteZs, or apartmen~s with
floors more than 55 feet above fire department access
(See Section 8.04.040.020 Divisian 3.05).
o Require automatic fire sprinkler systems far existzng
public assembly spaces above 5,OQ0 square feet that
protects assembly areas and exit ways (See Section
8.04.040.020 Divisian 3.06).
a Require the cannection with control val~es on each floor
level with full automatic sprink~er systems in any new
building with f~aors more than 55 feet in height (See
Sec~ion 8.04.040.020 Division 3.07}.
8
o Require the locatian of sprinklers in any room that apEns
directly into the exitway in partial automatic sprinkler
systems (See Section 8.44.040.02a Division 3.08).
v Require smoks detectars in every dwelling unit or guest
room in a hotel, apartment, or lodging house used for
sleeping purposes (See Section 8.04.040.020 Division
3.12).
o Aequire Class II standpipes in buildings three stories in
height or greater (See Section 8.04.040.020 Division
5.00}.
o Prohibit the use of non-fire retardant woad shingles or
nan-fire retardant wood shakes for new or replacement
roofing (See Section 8.04.040.020 Di~ision 6.Q0).
The sections requiring a permit to install, remove or modi~y any
flammable or cambustible liquid tank and requiring attic draft stop
fixtures have been deleted because they are now part of the uniforrt
codes.
SEI3MIC SAFETY
The following amendments to the Seismic Safety provisions of the
Unifo~m Building Code have been previously adopted by the City
Council. Amendments related to steel frame buildings however are
naw availab].e and required far adoption.
In reviewing the damage to buildings in the City resulting fram the
January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake, staff identified
impravements that needed to be made to building codes in order to
strengthen specific types of buildings that sustained cansistent
damage. Working closely with the Bui~ding and Safety Commission,
s~aff prepared ~n emergency ordinance containing specific standards
9
~or the repair and retrofitting of a variety of potentially
hazardous structures, including the following types:
o Unreinforced masonry structures (URM's};
o Soft-story construction
o "Tilt-up" pre-cast concrete buildings
o Nan-ductile/reinforced pre-cast concrete frame bui~dings.
In developxnq these recammendations, staff reZied extensively upon
the expert~se and recommendations of the Building and Safety
Commzssion, which continues to ana~yze the City's polici~s for
improvement. These standards were adopted by the City Council in
ordinance #1748 in June, 1994.
The reenactment of these previous amendments ta the Uniform
Building Code for Seismic Safety plus the new provisions for steel
frame structures are n~cessary due to a number of unique local
conditions. These conditions include the fo~lowing:
o The Safety Element identifies certain serious genera~
community safety problems caused by the number, size,
location and present use of unreinforced masonry, precast
concrete, sof~ story, tilt-up, and steel frame
potentially hazardaus buildzngs. The Safety EZement
shows the high risk of seismic activity in the City due
to the close proximity ta the Santa Manica-Malibu Coast
fault, the Newport-Inglewaod fault and the San Andreas
fault, and discusses the damaging effect ~~cal seis~ic
activity would have on these potentially ha2ardous
buildings and the related potential demands on emergency
services needs, since these building structures perform
poorly during ground shaking are susceptible to extensive
damage and a threat ta the public safety.
o The Safety Element alsa identifies shallow ground water
within 50 feet of the graund surface along the beach,
near the industrial corridor and Marine Park areas of the
City. This graund water condition, coupled with
10
unconsolidated youthful sedimentary soils, makes these
areas susceptible to possible liquefactifln during strong
or moderately strong earthquakes. Liquefaction is a very
destructiv~ secandary effec~ of strong seismic shaking
where a loss af bearing strength occurs alang with ground
oscillations in the supporting soils.
o An anaiysis of damage patterns to structur~ in the City
due to the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake and its
aftershocks i.n the staff report adopting the Hazardous
Buil.ding Standax-ds amendments to the building CQdE showed
that unreinforced masonry structures, portions of soft
story structures, tilt-up can~rete buildings pre-cas~ and
reinfarced non-ducti~~ cancrete stx-uctures, and steel
frame structures were more susceptible to damage ~han
other '~ypes of structures.
o During the Northridge earthquake, numerous unsecured
water heaters throughout the City broke loose from their
fittings, same thereby rupturing gas and water ~ines.
This condition presented an immediate fire hazard at a
time when Fire Department resources were already in
significant demand, thereby creating a patential delay in
responding to the hazard.
In order to address thes~ climatic, tapographical and geological
conditions that place demands on emergency services and pose
substantial risks to public health, safety, and welfare, it is
necessary to reenact previous amendments to the Uniform Building
Code in the following manner:
o Establish long range retrofitting requirements for pre-
1933 unreinforced masonry (i7RM) buildings (See Section
8.04.04~.030~.
o Establish Seismic Hazard Zones and Geologic Hazard Filled
Area Zones to require special design requirements (See
Section 8.04.100).
o Establish standards for the repair, recnnstruction and
reinforcement of [TRM buildings (See Sectian 5.04.04.04fl) .
o Establish standards for the repair, reconstruction and
reinforcement of potentially hazardous structures,
including soft story construction, tilt-up bui~dings, and
11
non ductile reinforced cancrete and nonductile pre-cast
concrete structures (See Section 8.04.04a.a50).
o Require the bracing of water heaters prior to any sale ar
in cannectian with any building permit or inspection by
the City (See Section 8.fl4.040.060 Division 6.00).
a Require that when criticai facilities in the City are
damaged in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars as a
r~sult of a natural disaster they will be shall be
analyzed, designed, repaired and upgraded to the same
design and performance standards app].icable to an
essential ~acility in compliance with the Unifarm
BuiZding Code (See Section 8.0~l.U40.060).
Steel Frame
Additionally, this Ordinance cantains new provisions for steel
frame structures (See Sectian 8.04.440.050 Division 6.50).
Subsequent additional analysis of damage patterns due to the 199~
Northridge Earthquake by the City's Building and Safety Commission
shaws that the earthquake caused severe damage to ths connections
of some steel-frame buildings. The full extent of such damage is
difficult to assess due ta th~ fact that damage ~s often nat
directly observable, but is concealed and discovered only when
steel members are expased. However, analysis of some steel framed
buildings has shown that "concealed" damage to these types of
buildings has been greater than initially thought after the
earthquake. Ordinance 1748 identified steel frame buildings as
potential~y hazardous structures, but did nat set standards for the
inspection or repair of these buildings.
12
To addr~ss the potential hazards in steel frame buildings, the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funded the SAC Joint
Venture to provide policy direction in the area af ste~l frame
buildings. The SAC Joint Venture refers to joint publications of
the following groups:
o structural Engineers Assoeiation of California
o App~ied Technolagy Council
o California University~s for Research in Earthquake
Engineering
The SAC report 95-02, FEMA pub~icatian 267, is the result of this
joint venturer and provides practicing engineers and building
officials with ~nformation related to the inspectian and repair of
steel frame buildings.
On May 8, ~995 the Santa Monica Building and Safety Commissian
recommended an additian to Ordinance #1748 in order to require
engineering evaluations of steel framed buildings using this report
for inspection and repair guidelines. SpecificaZly, the amendment
to the Ordinance would require the following:
o Within 275 days af the date of natice, the owners of any
steel frame structures shall submit an engineering
evaluation report by a registered Structural Engineer ~o
the Building and Safety Division.
o If the structural report concludes that the building does
not conform with the standards of the SAC report, or if
other significant damage is found, the bui~ding sha~l be
repaired according to the schedule in Division 7 of the
Ordinance, depending upon the occupancy of the building.
13
It is estimated that there are less than 50 steel-frame structures
throughout the City that would be subject to this pravision of the
Ordinance.
The purpose of the proposed new standards is to significant~y
reduce potential damage from future earthquakes by addressing steel
fram~ buildings which the Janua~y 17, 1994 earthquake has shown to
be susceptible to significant earthquake damage, and which current
City code standards do not adequately address. By adopting these
standards, the City may help to reduce hazards as well as
significantly lessen the devastating economic impact of ~uture
earthquakes.
In additian, the praposed amendment tv Ordinance #1748 includes
language clarifying the engineering report r~quirements for Non
Ductile Reinforced Concrete and Nan Ductile Pre-Cast Cancrete
Structures. This technical amendment does not change the timing
requirement for submitting a report an these typas of buildings,
which is 275 days from receipt of ~otice. There are approximateZy
70 Non Ducti~e Reinforced Concrete and 15 Non Ductile Pre-Cast
Concrete buildings.
SANTA M~NICA CONSTRUCTION PROPERTY MAINTENANCE REQIIIREMENTS
Unique local conditions in Santa Monica require an amendment to the
Uniform Building Code in arder to address issues that are not
included in the Cade, including:
14
o The Safety Element shows th~ high risk of seismlc
activity in the City due to the close proxi~ity of th~
City tQ the Santa Monica-Malibu Coast fault, the Newport-
Inglewoad fault and the San Andreas fault. The Safety
EZeme~t discusses the damaging effect loca~ seismic
activity would have an the City. The 5afety Element also
identifies that many af the structures in the City are
a~der structures which are prone ta the quick spread of
fire fram adjacen~ structures.
a The Master Environmental Assessment (MEA), adopted in
S~ptember, ~993, shaws that Santa Monica's climate is
primarily influenced by the Pacific ocean and is
chara~terized by infrequent rainfall and mild
temperatures. These conditions are suitable t~ ~he
development of backyard paols in the City, which can lead
health and safety risks if not properly fenced. The
Uniform Building Code daes r~ot address such issues
related to po~ls.
o The Master Environmental Assessment (MEA), adopted in
September, 1993, shows that Santa Manica's c~imate is
primarily in~luenced by the Pacific Ocean and is
characterized by infzequent rainfall and subject to
daytime breezes from the w~st and Santa Ana w~r~d
canditions from Sept~mber to March. These conditians
are susceptible to transporting airborne particulates,
including those accurring from sandblasting aperat~ons,
which can lead health and safety risks if nat properly
regulated.
o The MEA shows that structures in the City are situated
on lats that are aften very narrow or on hilly terrain,
which can create drainage hazards from adjacent
properties. These conditians increase the threat to life
and property, unless adequate drainage systems are
required.
In order to address ~hese climatic, top4graphical and geologzcal
conditions that place demands on emergency services and pose
substantial risks to public health, safety, and welfare, a~ong with
conditions autlined abave related to local fire canditions, it is
necessary ~o reenact previaus amendments to the UniParm Building
Code in the followir~g mann~r:
15
o Requ~re appropriate house numbering in order for
emergency services to quickly and efficiently respand to
disasters (see Section 8.04.040.060 ~ivisian 1.00}.
o Require proper drainage regulations for roofs and
developed properties, including yards, caurts, pools and
parking to ensure proper drainage and reduce impacts to
immediate and adjacent properties from flooding (s~e
S~ction 8.04.040.060 Division 2.OD}.
o Require adequate fencing around paols or other badies of
water to ensure safety of children and adults (see
5ection 8.04.040.d60 Division 3.Q0).
o Regulate the use of temporary trailers by requiring a
permit which ensures their temporary use and not as a
p~rmanEnt r~sidence (see Section 8.04.0~0.060 Diviszon
4,00) .
o Require a sandbiasting permit fnr any sandblasting work
to be done to ensure proper construction activities and
limi.ted hours of use {see Section 8.04.p40.060 Divisian
5.00) .
The QualiFication and Maintenance certificate section has been
e~iminated since these requirements are now adequately covered by
State requirements.
ELECTRICAL GODE AMENDMENTS
The reenactment of local amendments to the Electrical Code are
necessary for a number of unique local conditions. These
conditions include the faZZowing:
o The Nationa~ Electrical Code does nat address electrica~
safety requirements for non--construction related
electrical equip~ent, including partable electrical
equipment and machinery. The unregulated use af such
equipment poses a potential safety hazard to citizens and
praperty in Santa Monica by increasing the risk of fire.
16
o The Electric Board of Appeals has approved safety
standards for the use of electr~cal appliances, devices,
materials and equipment, and has cansidered Iocal
problems caused by the improper use of non-metallic
sheated wiring and ~se af alvmin~m alloy conductors in
sizes smaller than No. 6. Experience of field inspection
personnel has shown that certain specific uses of
aZuminum based conductors and non-meta~lic sheated wiring
has caused ar led to potentially hazardous and nuisar~ce
elactrical wiring installations.
Based upon the local conditi.ons outlined above, along with the
local conditions related to f ire risk detailed earlier in the staf f
report, it is necessary to reenact Iacal amendments ~o the
electrical code to ensure fire safety and prevent accidents from
electrical procedures and appliances. The local amendments inc~ude
tha following:
o Ensure that any wiring n~t having metal protection over
the conductors shall be entirely concealed within the
buiiding structure ta prevent and inhibit tampering and
restrict the use of aluminum wiring found to be hazardous
(see section s.o~.o5o.oao).
o Pr~vide the sale and use af any electrical material,
device, or equipment unless they comply with provisions
af this sectian, including rating and confa~mance with
natio~al standards (see Section 8.a4.o50.~30).
PLUMBING REQEIIREMENTS
The reenactment of local amendments to the Plumbing C~de are
necessary for a number of unique local conditions. These
conditians include the follawing:
o Santa Monica is situated in Southern Cal.ifornia which has
extreme arid conditions and periods of severe drought.
As outlined in the MEA, the City relies upon water from
outside the region which is bought from the Metropolitan
17
Water District, and local groundwater for the City's
water supply. Severe draught conditions and potential
uncertainty about the availability of future water
supplies from autside the regio~ require the proper
management of available water supplies.
Based upon the local canditions outiined above, along with the
loeal conditions ralated ta fire xisk detailed ear~ier in the staff
repart, it is necessary ta reenact l~cal amendments to the Plumbing
Code to reduce consumptian of scarce raater resources and ensure
fire sa~ety by preventing accidents from pressure gas systems and
preserving local water supplies. The lacal amendments include the
following:
o Require initia~ approval and more thorough inspection of
medium pressure gas installation to prevent potentially
hazardous and confusing systems for em~rgency services
which could result a.n fire hazards if not properly
insta~led (See Section 8.04.09Q.020).
a Require that any new construction, remodel or addition
shall insta~l anly ultra-low flush fixtures in order ta
reduce the cansumption of scarce water resources (see
Sectiqn 8.04.090.030}.
MOBILE HOME PARRS
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code SectiQn 1830a the Ci~.y may
assume the responsibility for the enforcement of state building
standards relating to mobilehome parks, and on November 11, 1961
the City Council adopted Resolutian # 2535 by which the City
assumed this responsibility. This Ordinance reenacts that
provisian (SeE Sectian 8.04.11Q).
18
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no budget and financial ~mpact to the City of Adopting the
1994 Uniform Codes and lacal amendments. Hawever, as a resuit of
the new c~de standards for steel frame buildings, tha appraval af
this ordinance may increase costs to repair certain strucGures
including City-owned structures. Federal and/or State
reimbursements may be available if compliance with the new
standards would increase the cost of repairing damaged City
structures. The specific casts and cost sharing arrangements for
City structure repairs which might be mandated by the new standards
are not known at this time. However, tha Council will have the
npportunity to review such costs and cost sharing arrangements if
repair contracts are needed.
RECOMMENDATI~N
It is recommended that the City Caunci.l take the following actions :
o Adopt the attached resolutian making findings of local.
climatic, geological and topographical cpnditions in

reasonably necessary based upon local climatic~ topagraphical and
geologica2 conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
MONICA DOES RES~LVE AS FQLL~WS:
SECTION 1. With respect ta the need far amended or
supplemental Fire Safety and Preventa.on Requirements, and Fire and
Safety Duties and procedures, the City Counci~ ~uakes the follawing
findings regarding local c~imatic, qeologica~, and topographical
conditions:
(a) The Safety Element of the General Plan, adopted in
January, 1995, shows a high risk of seismic activity in
the City due to the close proximity of the City to the
Santa Manica-Malibu Coast fault, the Newport-Inglewaod
fault and the San Andreas fauZt. The Safety E~ement
discusses the damaging effect lacal seismic activity
would have on street, roadways and overpasses at the
Santa Monica Freeway which would hamper and delay
emergency vehicle response.
{b) The Safety Element also identifies that many of the
structures in the Cit~ are older structures which are
2
prone to the quick spread of fire from adjacent
structures due to the materials used in construction and
less str~ngent fire resistant technology available at the
time they were built.
(c} The Master Envi~onmental Assessment (MEA), adapted in
September, 1993, shows that Santa Monica's climate is
primarily influenced by the Pacific Ocean and is
characterized by infrequent rainfaJ.l and winds which come
from the west during the daytime and from the north and
northeast during the niqhttime, with intermittent Santa
Ana winds accurring from September to March. These
conditions create the potential for high velocity winds
with high temperatures which are conducive to
uncontralled wind driven fires.
{d) The MEA also shows that structures in the City are
situated in close proxim~ty to each other~ with only
about 1~ of the 8.3 square miles that the City occupies
vacant, In addition, these lots are often very narrow or
an hilly terrain, which limits access to side yards for
fire suppression and placement of ladders for rescue
operations. These conditions increase the threat to life
and property and cQntributes to the ability of fires ta
spread quickly between buildings because af their
proximity to each other.
3
(e} Analysis af the emergency response to the January l7,
1994 earthquake showed that the need far emergency fire
services in the City greatly exceeded the available
resources of the Fire Department and that there remains
a significant passibility that multip~e fires fol~awing
a future earthquake will ~xceed the available resources
of the Fire Depart~ent.
(f) Based upon these ~ocal climatic, geological, and
topographical conditions which create fire hazards and
inhibit fire safety response access and respanse time, it
is reasonably necessary to re-adopt pre~ious amendments
to the unifornt codes in the following manner:
(i) Require autvmatic fire extingu~shing and detection
systems in al1 new construction and when there is a
change in use to a higher classification so that in
the event of an earthquake or other major disaster,
the Fire Department may depend on built~in fire
suppression systems to extinguish or ~.imit fires in
those structures so that fire does not spread to
older structures. This will reduce the potential
demand from simu~taneous incidents on emergency
services resources.
4
f
(ia.) Requ~re compla.ance with high rise requirements in
buildings with human occupancy over 55 feet above
the highest fire vehicle access point to enhance
such b~ildings' fire safety and reduce the risk of
fires in such buildings spreading to other
structures.
(iii) Require stairway access to the roof for new
buildings with four or more stories to ensure safe
escape routes in case af a fire.
(iv} Require fire safety procedures, like fire alarm
systems, fire safety doors, appropriate signage,
and evacuation procedures in existing non-
residential buildings, and existing buildings used
as hatels, apartments or lodging houses, with
floors more than 30 feet above fire department
access, to enhance such buildings' fire safety,
protect accupants, and reduce the risk that fires
in such buildings will spread ta other structures.
(v} Require fire safety procedures, like partia~
automatic fire sprinkler systems, automatic shutoff
of inechanical syste~s, and smoke detectors, for
existing non-residential bua.ldinqs, hotels, or
apartments with floors more than 55 fe~t above fire
5
•
department access to enhance such buildings~ fire
safety, protect occupants, and reduce the risk that
fires in such buildings will spread to other
structures.
{vi~ Require automatic fire sprinkler systems for
existing public assembly spaces larger than 5,D00
square feet to protect assembly areas and exit
ways.
(vii) Require in any new building with floors more than
55 feet in height, connection with control valves
on each tloor ievel with full automatic sprinkler
systems to enhanca such bui~dings ° f ire saf ety by
ensuring adequate de~ivery of required water
supply.
(viii) Require sprinklers in any room that opens directly
~nto the exitway in partial automatic sprinkler
systems to protect occupants by ensuring access ta
exitways.
(ix) Require smoke detectors in every dwelling unit or
guest rovm in a hotel, apartment, or ladging house
used for sleeping purposes, ta enhance their fire
safety, protect occupants, and reduce the risk that
6
fires ~n such buildings will spread to oth~r
structures.
(x) Require Class II standpipes in buildings three
stories in height or greater to enhance their fire
safety by ensuring adequate water supply to the
fire department in event of fire.
{xi) Prahibit the use of non-fire retardant wood
shingles ar nan-fire retardant wood shakes far new
or repiacement roafing to reduce the risk of rapid
spread of fire between adjacent buildings,
SECTION 2. With respect ta the need for amended or
supplemental Seismic 5afety Requirements, the City Cauncil makes
the following findings regarding lacal climatic, gea~~gica~, and
topographical conditians:
(a) The Safety Element identifies certain serious general
community safety problems caused by the number, size,
locatian and present use of unreinforced masonry, precast
cancrete, saft story, ti~t-up, and steel frame
patentially hazardous buildings. The Safety Element
shaws a high risk of seismic activity in the City due to
the close proximity to the Santa Monica-Malibu Coast
fault, the Newpart-Inglewoad fault and the San Andreas
fau~t, and discusses the damaging effect Iocal seismic
7
activity would have on these potentially hazardo~s
buildings and the related potential demands on emergency
services needs. These structures perform paorly during
ground shaking, are susceptible ta extensive damage, and
therefore pose a threat to the public safety.
(b) The Safety Element also id~ntifies shallow graund water
within 50 feet of the ground surface alang the beach,
near the industrial corridar and Marine Park areas of the
City. This ground water condition, caupled with
unconsolidated youthful sedint~ntary soils, makes these
areas susceptible to possible liquefactian during strong
or moderately strong earthquakes. Liquefaction is a very
destructive secondary effect of strang seismic shaking
where a loss af bearing strength occurs along with ground
ascillations in the supporting soils.
(c) An analysis af damage patterns to structures in the City
fram the .7anuary 17, ~994 Narthridge earthquake and its
aftershocks, as contained in the staff report adopting
the Hazardous Building 5tandards ordinance {Drdinance
1748(CCS)} showed that unreinforced masonry structures,
portions of soft story structures, tilt-up structures,
non--ducti].e pre-cast concrete buildings, non-dt~ctile
reinforced concrete structures, anci steel frame
structures were more susceptible to damage than ather
8
types af structures.
(d} Durinq the Northridge earthquake, numero~s unsecured
water heaters throughout the City broke loose from their
~ittings, some thereby rupturing gas and water lines.
This condition presented an immediate fire hazard at a
time when Fire Department resaurces were already in
significant demand, thereby creating a potential delay in
responding to the hazard.
(e) These climatic, topographical and geological conditions
place demands an emergency services and pose substantial
risks to public hea~th, safety, and welfare. It is
therefore reasanably necessary to re-adopt previous
amendments to the Uni~orm Building Code in tha following
manner:
(i) Establish long range retrofitting requirements for
pre-1933 unreinforced masonry (URM} buildings.
(ii) Establish Seismic Hazard Zones and Geologic Haaard
Zones ta authorize special design requirements for
canstruction in such areas.
(iii) Establish standards for the repair, reconstructian
and reinf~rcement of URM buildings.
9
_ .
(iv} Establish standards for the repair, reconstruction
and reinforcement of potentially hazardous
structures, inc~~xding soft story canstruction,
tilt-up buildings, and non ductile reinforced
cancrete and non-ductile pre-cast concrete
structures.
(v) Require the bracing of water heaters prior to any
sale or in connection with any building permit or
inspection by the City.
(vi} Require that when critical facilities in the City
are damaged in excess of twenty-five thousand
dollars as a result af a natural disaster they wi21
be anaiyzed, designed, repaired and upgraded to the
sa~ne design and pertormance standards applicable
ta an essential facility in compliance with the
Uniform Building Code.
(f) Subsequent add~tional analysis af d~mage patterns hy the
City's Building and Safety Commission due to the 2994
Northridge Earthquake shaws that the earthquake caused
severe damage to the connectians af some steel-frame
buildings. The ~'ull extent of such damaqe is difficult
to assess due to the faet that damage is often not
directly observable, but is concealed and discovered only
10
when steel members are exposed. However, analysis of
some steel framed bui~dings has shown that "concealed"
damage to these types af buildings has been greater than
initially thought after the earthquake.
(g) To addr~ss the potential ha~ards in steel frame
bui~dings, the Federal Emerqency Management Agency {FEMA}
funded the SAC Joint Venture to provide policy directian
in the area of steel frame buildings. SAC repart 95-02,
FEMA publicatian 267, is the result of this joint
venture, and provides practicing engineers and building
officials with information re~ated to the inspection and
repair of steel frame buildings.
(h) On May S, 1995 the Santa Monica Building and Safety
Commission recammended an addition to Ordinance,~1748 an
order to require engineering evaluations of steel. frame
buildings using the SAC report for inspection and repair
guidelines.
(i} Based on the foregoing, an amendment to the uniform cades
is reasanably necessary to accomplish the following:
(i) Within 275 days of the date of notice, the owners
of any steel frame ~tructures shall submit an
engineering evaluation report by a registered
1~
Structural Engineer t~ the Building and safety
Divisian.
(ii) If the structural report cancludes that the
building does not conform with the standards of the
SAC report, or if other significant damaqe is
found, the building shall be required to be
repaired accarding to a schedule dependent upan the
occupancy rating of the building.
SECTION 3. With respect to the need for amended or
supplemental Construction Property Maintenance Requirements, the
City Council makes the fallowing findings regarding lacal c~imatic,
geolagical, and topographical conditions:
(a) The Satety Element shows a high r~sk of seismic activity
in the City and idantifies that many of the structures in
the City are older structures which ara prone to tha
quick spread of fire from adjacent structures as
described in Sections 1 and 2 above.
(b) The Master Environmental Assessment {MEA), adopted ~n
September, 1993, shows that Santa Monica's climate is
primarily influenced by the Pacific Ocean and is
characterized by infrequent rainfaZl and mild
temperatures. These conditions are suitable to the
development of backyard pools in the City, which can lead
12
health and safety risks if not properly fenced. The
Unifarm Building Code daes nat address pool fencing.
(c} The Master Environmental Assessment (MEA), adopted in
September, i993, aiso shaws that Santa Monica's climate
is subject to daytime breezes from the west and Santa Ana
wind conditions from September to March. These
conditions are conducive to trar~sportation of airborne
particulates, including those occurring from sandblasting
operations, which can lead to health and safety risks if
not praperly regulated.
(d} The MEA shaws that structures in the City are situated
on lots that are aften very narr~w or on hiZly terrain,
wha.ch can create drainage hazards fram adjacent
properties. These conditians increase the threat to Iife
and property, unless adequate drainage systems are
required.
(e) In order to address these climatic, topographical and
geological conditions that place demands an emergency
services and pose substantial risks to public health,
safety, and welfare, along with the canditions related to
fire risk described in Section 1, it is reasonably
necessary to re-adopt previous amendments to the Tlnifor~
Building Code in the following manner:
13
(i) Require appropriate house numbering in order for
emergency services to quickly and efficiently
respond ta disasters.
(ii) Require praper drainage regulations for roafs and
developed properties, including yards, courts pools
and parking to reduce impacts to i~m~diate and
ad~acent prapert~es from flooding.
(iii) Require adequate fencing around pools or other
bodies of water to ensure safety of children and
adults.
(ivy Regulate the usa of temporary trailers by requiring
a permit which ensures their temporary use and not
as a permanent residence.
(v) Require a sandblasting permit for any sandblasting
work to be done to ensure praper construction
activities and limited hours of use.
SECTION 4. With respect to the need for am~nded or
supplemental Electrical Code Requirements, the City Council makes
the following findings regarding Zoca1 climatic, gealogical, and
topographical conditions:
14
.
~
(a} The National Electrical Cade does not address electrical
safety requirements for non-construction related
electrical equipment, including portable electrical
equipment and nnachinery. The unregulated use af such
equipment poses a potentia~ safety hazard to citizens and
property in Santa Monica by increasing the risk of fire
aggravated by the conditions described in Section 1
above.
(b) The Electric Soard of Appeals has approved safety
standards for the use of electrical appliances, devic~s,
materials and equipment, and has considered local
problems caused by the improper use of non-metallic
sheated wiring and use of aluminum al~oy conductors in
sizes smaller than No. 6. Experience af f ield inspection
personnel has shown that certain specific uses of
aluminum based conductors and non-metallic sheat~d wiring
has caused ar led ta potentially hazardaus and nuisance
~~ectrical wiring installations increasing the risk of
fire aggravated by the conditions described in Section 1
above.
(c) Based upon the local cvnditians outlined above, along
with the conditions re~ated tQ fire risk described in
Sectian 1, it is reasonably necessary to re-adopt the
following local amendments to the Uniform E~ectrical Code
15
r
to ensure fire safety and prevent accidents from
electrical procedures and appliancas:
(i) Ensure that any wiring not having metal protection
over the canductors is entirely concealed within
the building structure to prev~nt and inhibit
tampering, and restrict the use of a2uminum wiring
found to be hazardous.
(ii) Prohibit the sale and use of any electrical
material, devi.ce, or equipment not in campliance
with rating and confor~-anee pr~visians.
SECTION 5. With respect ~o the need for amended or
supplementai Pl~xmbing Code Requirements, the City Council makes
the following findings regarding local climatic, geological, and
topographica]. conditions:
(a) Santa Monica is situated in Southern Cali~ornia which has
extreme arid conditions and periods af severe drought.
As out~ined ~n the MEA, the City relies upan water frvm
autside the regian which is bouqht from the Metr~politan
Water District, and local groundwater for the City's
water supply. Severe drought conditions and potential
uncertainty abflut the availability of future water
supplies from outside the region require the proper
15
f
~
management of avai~able water supplies.
{b) Based upan this lacal condition, a~ong with the local
conditions related to fire risk detai~ed in Section 1, it
is reasonably necessary to reenact the fallowing local
amendments to the Plumbing Code to reduce consumption af
scarce water resources and ensure fire safety by
preventing accidents from pressure gas systems and
preserving local water supplies:
(i) Require initial approval and mare thorough
inspection af inedium pressure gas installation to
prevent patentially hazardous and canfusing systems
for emergency services which could result in fire
hazards if not properly installed.
{ii) Require that any new construction, remodel or
addition install on~y ultra-1ow flush fixtures in
order to reduce the consumption of scarce water
resources.
SECTION 5. With respect to the need far amended or
supplemental Administrative Provisians, the City Council makes the
fallowing findings regarding local climatic, geological, and
topographical conditions:
17
.
s
(a) The City has a number of unique local conditions related
to seis~nic activity and fire hazards as outlined in
Sections 1 and 2 above. It is therefore reasonably
necessary to re-adapt amendments to the Uniform
Ad~ninistrative Code relating to Boards of Appeal to
ensure reasonable intexpretatian of the Codes far the
City of Santa Manica and establish appropriate appeal and
advisory baards.
(b) The City has experienced a number of situations where
minimal construction work is performed under a building
permit, and completion of the project stretches over a
period af years. This practice raises a number of
concerns. In addition to neighbors of such sites being
impacted by canstruction activity~ by safety issues
associated with construction sites, and by aesthetic
impacts over a long time periad, both building and
planning cades may have changed since the pe~nit was
issued. These code chanqes are often due to concerns
about public safety arising fram unique local condztians.
(c) For example~ as a result af the 1994 earthquake and the
threat af seismic activity in the City as described in
5ection 2, technical changes to the Unifarm Building Code
have been and will be made to enhance public safety.
~l.der permits pursuant to which ~ittle work has been dane
18
~
over the years would not be subject to these code
changes. Sim~larly, evolution of the planning
regulations is an ongoing pracess, and older permits are
so~netimes inconsistent with current ca~unity planning
objectives addressing unique local conditions.
(d} It is there~ore reasonably necessary to estalalish maximum
time periods in which to compiete canstrt~ction.
SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the adaption of
this Resolution and thencefarth and thereafter the same shall be in
full force and effect.

Divis~on 1. oo . Purpos~ . The purpose of this L~ . ~;~~~::
~;ac:tion is to promote pulalic safety and welfare by
r~ducing the cumulative impact af certain individual
~i
construction and building projects each with an increased
potential demand on the rescue and fire suppression
resources of the community. The City Council establishes
the policy of regulating both new and existing buildings
in this class by requiring approved automat~c fire
extinguishing and detection systems, standpipes, fire
resistive daors, and other construction to be provided in
these structures at the time of their constructian,
conversion, alteration, and maintenance so as to
significantly reduce thE~~ potential demand from
simultaneous incidents on emergency services resources.
Division 2.00. Scope. The pro~isions of this
~~-; ~~~~ : Sc~c:r i nn :-~~ali apply ta all r~~r~ :: ~ r.nr~ .~nd
