Report
C ity Council Meeting : February 14, 2017
Agenda Item: 7.A
1 of 14
To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director , Building & Safety
Subject: Resolution Making Findings of Local Climatic, Geological and Topographical
Conditions and Introduce for First Reading an Ordinance Updating Seismic
Retrofit Requirements for Potentially Seismically Vulnerable Buildings,
Updating Tenant Protection Laws and Implementing a Seismic Retrofit
Program
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt the resolution making findings of local climatic, geological an d
topographical conditions necessary to support the adoption of local amendments
to the California State Building Codes;
2. Introduce for first reading the ordinance, amending the California State Building
Codes to adopt updates to seismic retrofit requireme nts a nd adopting
enhancements to lo cal tenant protection laws; and
3. Instruct staff to file the adopted resolution and seismic retrofit ordinance with the
California Building Standards Commission following the second reading of the
ordinance but at least 30 days before the effective date of the ordinance.
Executive Summary
A fundamental expectation in the occupancy of residential and commercial structures is
that buildings are safe and free from hazard. Buildings that provide resistance to the
destructive forces of earthquakes and aftershocks are an essential component in
building safety and occupancy. Strengthening of older less resistant buildings is
necessary in order to provide the structural resiliency to increase occupant safety.
An update to the Ci ty’s existing seismic retrofit standards and implementing retrofit
requirements for potentially vulnerable buildings would provide increased measures of
occupant safety. The proposed ordinance, Attachment A, provides updates of the
seismic retrofit requir ements adopted by the City Council on June 8, 1999.
Both California state laws regulating Building Code adoption and California Health and
Safety Code Sections 19101 and 19162 -63.6 authorize local jurisdictions to establish
mandatory seismic retrofit st andards. Pursuant to Section 18941.5 of the California
2 of 14
Health and Safety Code , amendments to the California Building Standards Code are
required to be justified by local climatic, geological and topographical conditions. The
attached Resolution with prop osed local findings is provided in Attachment B.
Staff has identified buildings that may be potentially seismically vulnerable and has
represented these buildings in an inventory (List) provided as Attachment C. The
Seismic Retrofit Program (Program) wil l target these identified unretrofitted buildings
where Program compliance and enforcement will be required in conformance with the
schedule outlined in the ordinance.
Retrofitting seismically vulnerable buildings is proposed through an active and ongoin g
Seismic Retrofit Program. The Program will includ e identification, notification,
compliance procedures, and residential tenant protections. In addition, timely
processing and compliance will also require consultant services to provide structural
plan c heck and peer review of complex structural retrofit designs. Should Council adopt
the Resolution and Ordinance, staff will initiate a Request f or Proposal for the
procurement of engineering consultant services to address processing of seismic retrofit
pla ns and to maintain expected service levels in construction permitting .
The proposed ordinance also seeks revisions to Chapter 8.100 Tenant Protection
During Construction and Chapter 4.36 Tenant Relocation Assistance. Revisions to
these Chapters will enha nce existing tenant protections and incorporate measure s for
hazardous material cases. A proposed revision includes addressing issues related to
hazardous materials found in older construction materials. Additional proposed
revisions will also require bu ilding owners to pay for environmental consulting services
in the determination and resolution of hazardous materials. To address this issue, staff
is recommending the issuance of a Request for Proposal for the procurement of
environmental consultant serv ices.
Since construction work has the potential to impact existing residential tenants, passage
of the seismic retrofit ordinance and the resulting construction has the potential to
create impacts to existing tenants. The implementation of the Program w ill include
means for tenant advocacy and advisory. All affected City Departments will engage in
the support of residential tenants and the response to retrofit compliances.

Background
On December 6, 2016, City Council conducted a Study Session on the d egree of
seismically vulnerable buildings 1 in Santa Monica that are subject to damage or
collapse in a seismic event. The Staff Report of the Study Session, provided herein as
Attachment D, provided the total number of unretrofitted buildings that were id entified as
potentially seismically vulnerable. Council was presented with recommendations for
updates to the City’s 1999 retrofit standards and recommendations for a fully active
Seismic Retrofit Program. City Council instructed staff to proceed with th e development
of an ordinance that provides updates to the standards for seismic retrofit and
implement ation of a Seismic Retrofit Program. The proposed ordinance also includes
compliance timeframes, notification procedures, and measures for increased ten ant
protections. Council instructed staff to research previous Federal and State grant
funding related to seismic retrofit and if such grants are still available.
______________________________________________________________________
1 The cate gories of Seismically Vulnerable Buildings and existing Santa Monica Municipal Code Chapters
are as follows:
Unreinforced Masonry Bearing Wall Buildings (Chapter 8.60)
Reinforced Concrete or Masonry Wall Buildings with Flexible Diaphragms (Chapter 8.64)
Si ngle -Family Dwellings, Strengthening of Cripple Walls and Sill Plate Anchorage (Chapter 8.68)
Soft, Weak, or Open Front Wall in Wood -Framed Buildings (Chapter 8.72)
Welded Steel Moment Frame Buildings (Chapter 8.76)
Non -Ductile Concrete Buildings (Chapter 8.80)

Discussion
Retrofitting, or the strengthening of the structural system of older seismically vulnerable
buildings increases the lateral load resisting system in these older buildings allowing
better performance in earthquakes and aftershocks. Better performance will
significantly reduce the potential for building damage and collapse, lessening the
occurrences of occupant injury or death.
The updates to the technical standards for seismic retrofit in the proposed ordinance are
recommended to improve performance of buildings to levels similar to minimum life -
safety levels of the State building code. Although minimum life -safety levels of seismic
retrofit does not elimi nate the possibility of injury or death due to building damage, the
proposed standards would result in substantial gains in protecting the City’s inhabitants,
workers and visitors.
Seismic Retrofit Program Implementation
List – Potentially Seismically Vuln erable Buildings
At the December 6, 2016 Study Session, staff presented to Council that the
identification and inventory (List) of potentially seismically vulnerable buildings
will be available in January 2017. The List was made publically available on
Ja nuary 26, 2017 on a City webpage dedicated to the Seismic Retrofit Program.
As indicated on the List, all types of seismically vulnerable buildings will be
targeted for notification, structural analysis and if found to be deficient, the
requirement to com plete retrofit of the building.
The List is an inventory of buildings that may require retrofit based on
determination through building permit records and visual identification. In
addition, the List will be dynamic as a structural analysis of some build ings may
find that a building does not require retrofit in which case the building would be
removed from the list. Likewise, buildings not currently on the List may someday
be identified as requiring retrofit when structural systems are revealed during
te nant modifications to the buildings. The List will serve as a basis in the
milestone steps towards retrofit compliance with iterative steps noted once
completed.
5 of 14
Notification, Time Limits and Recordation of Properties
Owners of buildings on the List wi ll be notified that their building has been
identified as potentially seismically vulnerable. Once notified , a building owner
will be required to provide a structural analysis of the building and a
recommendation for a retrofit solution, if necessary. Th e notification will serve as
the official commencement of the time period in which the building owner has to
comply with milestones of compliance.
The proposed ordinance identifies priorities of hazardous building types in which
notification will be phase d by order of hazard severity, compliance timeframe and
building type. The phasing of the notices will allow for the segmenting of 4,594
notices to building owners. The overall compliance time limit is provided per
bu ilding type in the table below.
Poten tially Seismically
V ulnerable Buildings Type
Years to Complete
Retrofit
Unreinforced Masonry Buildings 2 Years
Concrete Tilt -Up Buildings 3 Years
Soft -Story Buildings 6 Years
Non -Ductile Concrete Buildings 10 Years
Steel Moment Frame Buildings 20 Year s
Single -Family Brace and Bolts Voluntary
6 of 14
In the case of multiple ownership of a building where a building consists of
multiple parcels such as condominiums, each owner of a parcel will receive a
notice. The List identifies condominium buil dings by legal address with individual
parcels.
The proposed ordinance includes major milestones in the process of seismic
retrofitting of a building. The milestones include interim deadlines that will allow
for compliance monitoring. Consultation by staff will be available to advise the
small family -owned residential owners and small business/building owners with
information necessary for understanding the steps of compliance in the retrofit
process. At the December 6, 2016 Study Session, Council dire cted staff to
examine the effects of a recorded notice on the title of a property. Staff explored
if a recording will introduce constraints from lending institutions on property loans
and discovered that there will be no significant effect. Staff is r eco mmend ing that
the proposal for a recorded notice will be a positive factor in the achievement of
retrofit compliance as well as fair disclosure to parties involved in the affected
properties. Staff will propose general language on the notice to be recorde d with
the County of Los Angeles Office of the Registrar/Recorder as to not overburden
impact on title transfers and the securing of loans including loans for the
financing of seismic retrofit. Both the City of Los Angeles and the City and
County of San F rancisco have included recordation of seismic retrofit
requirements in their process.
Consultant Services
Buildings with complex structural systems, such as the Steel Moment Frame and
Non -Ductile Concrete buildings will have detailed complicated retrofit solutions.
Complex retrofit designs will require peer review which is a standard practice in
structural design of complicated buildings. Peer review is the process where an
independent structural engineer reviews the design of a retrofit plan and provide s
input to best practices in the structural design of a project. Peer review is a
detailed highly -technical exercise involving specialized expertise that should be
handled by consultant services. Therefore, staff recommend s incorporating the
7 of 14
procedure of peer review as a necessary part of seismic retrofit. Costs for peer
review will be proposed and presented to the City Council as part of the FY 2017 -
19 biennial budget.
In addition to peer review, the volume of plans anticipated for seismic retrofit will
require consulting services for the plan check of seismic retrofit designs. The
consulting services will augment Building and Safety staff, as -needed, for the
plan review of large complex buildings and for peak submittals of plans. Funding
for consu ltant plan check will be incorporated with the FY 2017 -19 biennial City
budget.
It is recommended that City Council authorize staff to issue a Request for
Proposal s for consultant services for seismic retrofit plan check and peer review.
Parking Effects
The structural strengthening of a building related to seismic retrofit may have an
effect on parking spaces by reducing the dimensions of a required parking space
or in some cases eliminating required parking. Where the retrofit solution
provides that the re is no alternate practical solutions to a retrofit, the proposed
ordinance provides that the Zoning Administrator may reduce the required size of
a parking space or the number of required spaces. The proposal is that parking
shall not be reduced more th an twenty -percent (20%) of required parking spaces
or one (1 ) space, whichever is greater.
Tenant Protection
Protection of tenants and the stock of affordable housing in the City are of paramount
importance. Construction in residential buildings, if not conducted or monitored with
diligence could be of significant impact to tenants. The proposed ordinance provides for
several amendments to strengthen tenant protections for standard ongoing construction
projects, and for construction related to the Seismi c Retrofit Program. Added
requirements and revisions to Chapters 8.100 and 4.36 are presented as part of the
proposed ordinance.
8 of 14
Enhancements to Tenant Protection During Construction, Chapter 8.100
The following proposed revisions to Chapter 8.100 are pur posed to enhance
protection of tenants during construction activity.
Older buildings are likely to contain building materials of hazardous
content and if disturbed, can be of detrimental effect to humans and
possibly pets. Materials such as asbestos and l ead paint may still be
present in some of the buildings that require seismic retrofit. Existing
State Law procedures require a building owner to abate hazardous
materials in accordance with procedures of the Southern California Air
Quality Management Dist rict (AQMD). Proper adherence to these
procedures should provide tenants with the assurance that hazardous
materials are abated and no longer pose a health threat. Staff proposes
to add additional requirements to Chapter 8.100 to: (1) clarify that owners
must ensure that all hazardous materials are properly handled during
construction; (2) the City will actively monitor such handling; and (3) the
City may reasonable engage the services of qualified experts, at the
owner’s expense, to assist the City in evaluating the owner’s compliance.
Relatedly, staff also request that the City Council instruct staff to initiate a
Request for Proposal s to procure the services of licensed environmental
consultants as advisors to the City on issues of hazardous materials .
Section 8.100.040(c)(9) requires a building owner to provide monthly
notices to tenants on construction progress for projects that exceed thirty -
days of construction. This section also allows the Building Officer to
request meetings to allow tenant feed back to construction issues.
Proposed with this ordinance is clarifying that the request of the Building
Officer is not appealable given the timeliness of a requested meeting and
tenant concerns.
Enhancements to Tenant Relocation Assistance, Chapter 4.36
The following clarifications and enhancements are proposed to Chapter 4.36 to
address improvements and revisions in tenant relocation.
9 of 14
For short -term tenant displacements (e.g. due to inoperable equipment
such as hot water heating or environmental heat ) a proposal to allow
owners to relocate tenants to a hotel is presented in the ordinance. The
relocation to a hotel would be an option instead of paying the daily per
diem, or providing comparable housing if relocation is estimated to be five
days or less. Tenants would be entitled to per diem payments or be
relocated to comparable accommodations if relocation extends beyond
five days. Staff is proposing five days as a measure for timely relocations
as staff determined that the majority of relocations are typically at five
days or less.
Existing law does not require owners to expeditiously repair tenant units
while tenants are relocated. In some relocation cases, the extent of a
tenant being relocated was not proportionate to the estimated time to
addres s the condition causing the relocation. A proposal to require a
maximum time limit in which a tenant is relocated is included in the
ordinance. The estimated maximum time frame will be based on the
condition causing relocation as determined by the Buildi ng Officer. Should
the estimated time limit be exceeded, an investigation will be warranted to
determine causes for the delay. Where relocation is in excess of the
estimated time limit without reasonable cause, the Code Enforcement
Division would initiat e enforcement action.
As timely resolution is desired in a relocation case to remedy conditions of
uninhabitability, added language to Chapter 4.36 is proposed to ensure
that the owner has access to the rental unit and have the opportunity to
timely addres s the condition without interference from the tenant. This is
proposed to address recent issues where building owners were prevented
by a tenant from making necessary repairs causing relocations to be
prolonged. Staff asserts that this allowance will prov ide for timely
resolutions.
Sections 4.36.120(c) and (d) currently do not allow relocation benefits
when a tenant is displaced as a result of seismic retrofit. Research
10 of 14
determined that this language was written in the 1999 seismic retrofit
ordinance. It was included in hopes of incentivizing owners to commence
retrofitting; however, experience has shown that this incentive is
ineffective and that it unnecessarily burdens tenants. Staff proposes that
this Section be repealed to meet current relocation goa ls of the City.
Eliminating this provision will likely also encourage more timely completion
of seismic retrofit projects.
Exemptions to Zonal Restrictions on Construction
Due to the mandated timeline contained in the seismic retrofit ordinance, it is
po ssible that seismic retrofit of several multi -family buildings may occur
simultaneously. However, local law (namely the Construction Rate Program of
Chapter 9.37.110) only allows one project (involving the new construction or
alteration of 2 or more dwell ing units in the R2, R3, R4, OF, RMH, OPD, OP2,
OP3, and OP4 Districts) to occur within a 500 -foot radius at a time. This
restriction could have a negative impact on the retrofit compliance efforts of multi -
family buildings. Although Section 9.37.110 con tains an exemption for seismic
retrofit projects, that exemption only applies to unreinforced masonry type
buildings. The proposed ordinance seeks to override this prohibition and allow
all seismic retrofit projects to proceed simultaneously.
Tenant and Occupant Advisory
The proposed ordinance includes a requirement that building owners must notify each
residential and commercial tenant when the Building Officer determines that a building
is seismically vulnerable and subject to retrofit to comply with lo cal law. This notice is
an advisory to tenants and will include references to contacts in the City for assistance.
As part of milestone compliance, the building owner is required to provide the
Department with evidence that each tenant has been provided with the tenant advisory
related to seismic retrofit. For buildings that will require retrofit construction, Chapter
8.100 currently requires posting of Construction Notification (on a 30 -inch by 40 -inch
poster) that states effects during the construction and interruptions to building services.
11 of 14
Public Assistance, Public Information
Staff will be available for general and detailed questions for each aspect of compliance
with the Program. To assist with general information, a webpage dedicated to the
Se ismic Retrofit Program in already available on the City’s website.
Webpage
On January 26, 2017, the Department launched the Seismic Retrofit Program
webpage which includes the List of potentially seismically vulnerable buildings.
Should Council adopt the ordinance, the webpage will be updated with program
information for owners and tenants.
Other information planned for the webpage will include financing information for
loan assistance for seismic retrofit. This will include the seven private financier s
listed on the Resolution that City Council approved on February 23, 2016 as
indicated in the Study Session report.
Planned with Council’s passage of the ordinance is a Seismic Retrofit Fair where
building owners, residential and commercial tenants and b usiness merchants
may obtain information about the Seismic Retrofit Program in a “one stop” event.
In addition to City staff, financiers, product vendors, consulting architects and
engineers, and building contractors who specialize in seismic retrofit wil l have a
presence at the Fair. The webpage will provide event dates, and information
related to the Seismic Retrofit Fair.
Staffing
A major component in achieving compliance of the Seismic Retrofit Program is the
timely completion of a building retrofit. A key factor in timely compliance is staff’s ability
to process applications, structural reports, seismic design plans and the issuance of
building permits. Three additional positions will provide the needed resources to
address additional workload such as resident and owner services, application -
notification -recordation processing, structural engineering analysis and customer
12 of 14
guidance. The positions will be covered with new revenues and presented as part of
the FY 2017 -19 biennial budget process.
Cos t and Financing of Retrofit
The Study Session Staff Report contained approximate costs for seismic retrofit. Staff
reported at the Study Session that State Assembly Bill 837 set up the California Seismic
Safety Capital Access Loan Program Fund for residen ces and small businesses related
to seismic retrofit. This Bill is now codified as California Health a nd Safety Code
44559.14 and provides another source of financing for seismic retrofit.
At the December 6, 2016 Study Session, Council asked if previous s eismic retrofit
funding after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake from the Federal and State governments
granted to building owners in Santa Monica might still be available. Research found
that many buildings were retrofitted utilizing grant monies, however, t he funds are no
longer available.
Rent Control Board Hearing
Should City Council adopt the proposed ordinance, following the second reading of the
ordinance, the Rent Control Board will be presented with a request to determine the
extent of pass -through c osts of retrofit work to tenants. The Rent Control Board will be
asked to determine if pass -through costs should be included as part of monthly tenant
rents, and if so, the percentage of retrofit cost attributed to the pass -through, the total
term and the maximum monthly pass -through costs.
CEQA Exemption
The proposed ordinance is categorically exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3), 15301 and 15302 of the CEQA
Guidelines. Section 15301 provides exemp tion for a class of projects (Class 1)
consisting of repair, maintenance or minor alterations to public or private structures or
facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use. Section 15302 provides exemption
for a class of projects (Class 2) con sisting of replacement or reconstruction of existing
structures or facilities where the new structure or facility will be located on the same site
and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity. The proposed ordinance
13 of 14
requires repair, maintenan ce and minor alterations of existing structures and facilities to
meet minimum seismic safety standards. The ordinance does not require or
contemplate any appreciable expansion or change in use or capacity of any existing
structure or facility. According ly, the ordinance is categorically exemption pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15302. Additionally, the proposed ordinance is
also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because, as described
by this Staff Report, it can be se en with certainty that there is no possibility that the
proposed ordinance could have a significant effect on the environment.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of
recommended action. S taff will return to Council if specific budget actions are required
in the future. Concurrent with the FY 2017 -19 biennial City budget, a City -wide fee
study will be presented. Included in the fee study will be fees related to the Seismic
Retrof it Program which will allow a cost neutral program with no effect to the General
Fund. The Program will not have impacts to the current 2016 -17 fiscal year budget as
all requests are deferred to the FY 2017 -19 biennial budget.

compliant with the positive anchoring requirements of this Chapter. Attaching the edge of
steel decks to steel ledgers is not cons idered as providing the positive anchorage of this
Chapter unless testing and/or analysis are performed to establish shear values for the
attachment perpendicular to the edge of the deck. Where steel decking is used as a wall
anchor system, the existing co nnections shall be subject to field verification and the new
connections shall be subject to special inspection.
(c) Development of anchor loads into the diaphragm. Development of anchor
loads into roof and floor diaphragms shall comply with Chapter 16 of the California
Building Code using horizontal forces that are 75 percent of those used for new
construction.
Exception: If continuously tied girders are present, th e maximum spacing of the
continuity ties is the greater of the girder spacing or 24 feet (7315 mm).
In wood diaphragms, anchorage shall not be accomplished by use of toenails or
nails subject to withdrawal. Wood ledgers, top plates or framing shall not be used in cross
grain bending or cross grain tension. The continuous ties required in Chapter 16 of the
California Building Code shall be used in addition to the diaphragm sheathing.
Lengths of development of anchor loads in wood diaphragms shall be based o n
existing field nailing of the sheathing unless existing edge nailing is positively identified
on the original construction plans or at the site.
31
(d) Anchorage at pilasters. Anchorage at pilasters shall be designed for the
tributary wall -anchoring load per Section 8.64.050(a), considering the wall as a two -way
slab. The edges of the two -way slab shall be considered fixed when there is continuity at
pilasters and shall be considered pinned at roof and floor. The pilasters or the walls
immediately adjacent to the pilasters shall be anchored directly to the roof framing such
that the existing vertical anchor bolts at the top of the pilasters are bypassed without
permitting tension or shear failure at the top of the pilasters.
Exception: If existing vertical anch or bolts at the top of the pilasters are used for
the anchorage, additional exterior confinement shall be provided as required to resist the
total anchorage force.
The minimum anchorage force at a floor or roof between the pilasters shall be that
specified in Section 8.64.050(a).
(e) Symmetry . Symmetry of wall anchorage and continuity connectors about the
minor axis of the framing member is required.
Exception: Eccentricity may be allowed when it can be shown that all components
of forces are positively resist ed. The resistance must be supported by calculations or
tests.
(f) Combination of anchor types. New anchors used in combination on a
single framing member shall be of compatible behavior and stiffness.
(g) Anchorage at interior walls . Existing interior reinforced concrete or
reinforced masonry walls that extend to the floor above or to the roof diaphragm shall be
anchored for out -of -plane forces per Sections 8.64.050(a) and (c). Walls extending
through the roof diaphragm shall be anch ored for out -of -plane forces on both sides, and
32
continuity ties shall be spliced across or continuous through the interior wall to provide
diaphragm continuity.
(h) Collectors. If collectors are not present at reentrant corners or interior shear
walls, they s hall be provided. Existing or new collectors shall be designed for the capacity
required to develop into the diaphragm a force equal to the lesser of the rocking or shear
capacity of the reentrant wall or the tributary shear based on 75 percent of the hori zontal
forces specified in Chapter 16 of the California Building Code. The capacity of the
collector need not exceed the capacity of the diaphragm to deliver loads to the collector.
A connection shall be provided from the collector to the reentrant wall to transfer the full
collector force (load). If a truss or beam other than a rafter or purlin is supported by the
reentrant wall or by a column integral with the reentrant wall, then an independent
secondary column is required to support the roof or floor me mbers whenever rocking or
shear capacity of the reentrant wall is less than the tributary shear.
(i) Mezzanines . Existing mezzanines relying on reinforced concrete or reinforced
masonry walls for vertical and/or lateral support shall be anchored to the walls f or the
tributary mezzanine load. Walls depending on the mezzanine for lateral support shall be
anchored per Sections 8.64.050(a), (b), (c).
Exception: Existing mezzanines that have independent lateral and vertical support
need not be anchored to the walls.
An owner desiring to demolish a building must nevertheless comply with the
strengthening provisions of this Code within the time allowed unless such owner receives
permission to demolish the building prior to the time limits set forth in Section 8.64.060 of
33
the Municipal Code for the filing of a permit and the submitting of plans to the Building
Officer.

SECTION 4. Chapter 8.68 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Chapter 8.68 Voluntary Seismic Retrofit Requirements for Cripple Walls and
Sill Plate Anchorage in Single -Family Dwellings VOLUNTARY SEISMIC
STRENGTHENING PROVISIONS FOR CRIPPLE WALLS AND SILL PLATE
ANCHORAGE IN SINGLE -FAMILY DWELLINGS
8.68.010 Adoption Purpose .
Appendix Chapter A3 of the California Existing Building Code 2016 Edition, entitled
“Prescriptive Provisions for Seismic Strengthening Prov isions of Cripple Walls and Sill
Plate Anchorage of Light, Wood -Frame Residential Buildings” which adopts by reference
Appendix Chapter A3 of the International Existing Building Code, 2015 Edition, as
published by the California Building Standards Commiss ion and the International Code
Council, (excluding Sections A301), is hereby adopted as the Voluntary Seismic Retrofit
Requirements for Cripple Walls and Sill Plate Anchorage in Single -Family Dwellings of
the City of Santa Monica.
40
The provisions of this Chapter are intended to promote public safety and welfare
by reducing the risk of earthquake -induced damage to existing wood -framed single -family
dwellings. The requirements contained in this Chapter shall substantially improve the
seismic performance of t hese buildings but will not necessarily prevent all earthquake -
related damage. When fully followed, these standards will strengthen the portion of the
structure that is most vulnerable to earthquake damage.
Prior to 1960, many wood frame dwellings were bui lt with raised wood floors
supported by short wood stud walls known as cripple walls. These cripple walls are
typically braced with weaker seismic materials such as portland cement plaster or
horizontal wood siding. In addition, earlier building codes did not require wood frame
buildings to be bolted to their foundations. Recent earthquakes of moderate magnitude
have shown that if a building has weak cripple walls or is unbolted, it may fall off its
foundation. Fallen buildings have collapsed, caught fire o r needed extensive repairs to
restore their occupancy.

plate washer is contacting the wood member and slightly indents the wood.
Unreinforced masonry includes adobe, burned clay, concrete or sand -lime brick,
hollow clay or conc rete block, hollow clay tile, rubble, cut stone and unburned clay
masonry walls.
8.68.040 General strengthening requirements.
(a) Scope. The structural weaknesses noted in Section 8.68.020 shall be
strengthened in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter. Strengthening work
may include both new construction and alteration of existing construction. Except as
provided herein, all str engthening work and materials shall comply with the applicable
provisions of the Building Code. Alternate methods of strengthening shall be allowed
provided such systems are designed by an engineer or architect and approved by the
Building Officer.
(b) Use of Prescriptive Provisions. The prescriptive provisions of this Chapter
apply to light wood -frame Group R, Division 3 and Group R Division 1 Occupancies with
no more than four dwelling units when they contain one or more of the structural
weaknesses as sp ecified in Section 8.68.020 .
The prescriptive provisions of this Chapter do not apply to the buildings or
elements thereof, listed below. These buildings or elements require analysis in
accordance with all the requirements of the Building Code.

wall studs exceeding fourteen inches (360 mm) in height.
(4) Buildings where the Building Officer determines that conditions exist that are
beyond the scope of the prescriptive requirements of this Chapter.
The Building Officer shall prepare prescriptive construction details for use in
strengthening work. These prescriptive details and the prescriptive provisions herein are
not intended to be the only acceptable strengthening methods permitted. Alternate details
and methods may be used when approved by the Building Officer.
(c ) Engineered Designs. When analysis by an engineer or architect is required or
provided for a building within the scope of this Chapter, such analysis shall be in
accordance with all requirements of the Building Code except that the scope of the
strengthen ing work shall be limited to the part of the load path from the connection of the
first floor diaphragm to the foundation -soil interface.
8.68.050 Requirements applicable to engineered and prescriptive methods.
(a) Condition of Existing Wood Materials. All existing wood materials which will
be a part of the strengthening work shall be in a sound condition and free from defects
which substantially reduce the ca pacity of the member. Any wood material found to
contain fungus infection shall be removed and replaced with new material. Any wood
material found to be infested with insects or to have been infested shall be strengthened
or replaced with new materials to provide a net dimension of sound wood at least equal
to its undamaged original dimension.
46
(b) Floor Joists Not Parallel to Foundations. Floor joists framed perpendicular
or at an angle to perimeter foundations shall be restrained by either an existing nomi nal
two -inch (51 mm) wide continuous rim joist or by nominal two -inch (51 mm) wide full depth
blocking between alternate joists in one - and two -story buildings, and between each joist
in three -story buildings. Blocking for multistory buildings must occur a t each joist space
above a braced cripple wall panel.
Existing connections at the top edge of an existing rim joist or blocking need not
be verified. The bottom edge connection to either the foundation sill plate or top plate of
a cripple wall shall be ver ified unless a supplemental connection is provided. The
minimum existing bottom edge connection shall consist of 8d toe nails spaced six inches
(152 mm) apart for a continuous rim joist or three 8d toe nails per block. When this
minimum bottom edge connect ion is not present, or is not verified, a supplemental
connection shall be provided in accordance with subsection (d) of this section.
When an existing continuous rim joist or the minimum existing blocking does not
occur, new one and one -eighths inch (29 m m) wood structural panel blocking installed
tightly between floor joists and nailed with 10d common nails at four inches on center to
the sill or wall top plate shall be provided at the inside face of the cripple wall. In lieu of
one and one -eighths inch (29 mm) wood structural panel blocking, tight fitting, full or near
full depth two inches nominal width (51 mm) lumber blocking shall be allowed provided it
does not split during installation. New blocking may be omitted where it will interfere with
vents o r plumbing that penetrates the wall.
(c) Floor Joists Parallel to Foundations. Where existing floor joists are parallel
to the perimeter foundations, the end joist shall be located over the foundation and, except
47
for required ventilation openings, shall be continuous and in continuous contact with any
existing foundation sill plate or top plate of the cripple wall. Existing connections at the
top edge connection of the end joist need not be verified; however, the bottom edge
connection to either the foundat ion sill plate or the top plate of a cripple wall shall be
verified unless a supplemental connection is provided. The minimum bottom edge
connection shall be 8d toe nails spaced six inches (152 mm) apart. If this minimum bottom
edge connection is not prese nt or is not verified, a supplemental connection shall be
provided in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
(d) Supplemental Connections. Supplemental connections shall provide
sufficient strength to transfer the seismic forces originating in the structure above to the
cripple wall, sill plate or foundation below. Framing anchors of minimum twenty gauge
steel and twelve approved fasteners may be considered to meet this requirement when
spaced twenty -four inches (813 mm) on center for one -story bui ldings and sixteen inches
(610 mm) on center for two -story buildings. Supplemental connections for three -story
buildings shall be spaced as required by analysis in accordance with all the requirements
of the Building Code.
Exception: A supplemental connect ion is not required when:
(1) The structural wood panel sheathing extends from the sill plate to the rim joist
or blocking above.
(2) The floor sheathing is nailed directly into the sill or top plate of the cripple wall.
(e) Single Top Plate Ties. When a s ingle top plate exists in the cripple wall, all
end joints in the top plate shall be tied. Ties shall be connected to each end of the
discontinuous top plate and shall be equal to one of the following:

each end.
8.68.060 Foundations.
(a) New Perimeter Foundations. New perimeter foundat ions shall be provided for
structures with the structural weaknesses noted in subsections 1 and 2 of Section
8.68.020 . Soil investigations or geotechnical studies are not required for this work unless
the building shows signs of excessive settlement or movement or is located in a special
study zone as designated by the City of Santa Monica or State of California.
(b) Foundation Evaluation by Engineer or Architect. Partial perimeter
foundations or unreinforced masonry foundations shall be evaluated by an engineer or
architect for the force levels of the Building Code. Test reports or other substantiating
data to determine existing foundation material strengths shall be submitted for review.
When approved by the Building Officer, these foundation systems ma y be strengthened
in accordance with the recommendations included with the evaluation in lieu of being
replaced.
Exception: When approved by the Building Officer, testing of existing foundations
to determine material strengths shall not be required when a new non -perimeter
foundation system is installed to resist all lateral forces as required in Section 8.68.040 (a)
of the Municipal Code.
49
(c) Details for New Perimeter Foundations. All new perimeter foundations shall
be continuous and constructed according t o the standards for new buildings.
Exceptions:
(1) When approved by the Building Officer, the existing clearance between existing
floor joists or girders and existing grade below the floor need not comply with the Building
Code. This exception shall not be permitted when buildings are raised and relocated on
new foundations.
(2) When approved by the Building Officer, and when designed by an engineer or
architect, partial perimeter foundations may be used in lieu of a continuous perimeter
foundation when the new nonperimeter foundation system is installed to resist all lateral
forces as required in Section 8.68.040 (a) of the Municipal Code.
8.68.070 Foundation sill plate a nchorage.
(a) Existing Perimeter Foundations. When the building has an existing
continuous perimeter foundation, all perimeter wall sill plates shall be connected to the
foundation in accordance with Table 8.68 -A and this Section.
Anchors shall be installed with the plate washer installed between the nut and the
sill plate. The nut shall be tightened to a snug -tight condition after curing is complete for
adhesive anchors and after expansion wedge engagement for expansion anchors. The
installation of nuts on all anchors shall be subject to verification by the Building Officer.
Anchor side plates shall be permitted when conditions prevent anchor installation
vertically through the sill plate. Anchor side plates shall be spaced as required for
adhesive or expansion anchors but only one anchor side plate is required on individual
pieces of sill plate less than thirty -two inches (813 mm) in length. Wood structural panel
50
shims shall be used on sill plates for single plate anchor side plates when the foundat ion
stem wall is from three -sixteenths inch (4.8 mm) to three -fourths inch (19 mm) wider than
the sill plate. The shim length shall extend a minimum of two inches (50.8 mm) past each
end of the anchor side plate. Adjustable anchor side plates shall be used when the total
thickness of the required shim exceeds three -fourths inch (19 mm).
All anchor side plates which use lag or wood screws shall pre -drill the sill plate to
prevent splitting as required by the Building Code. Lag or wood screws shall be install ed
in the center of the thickness of the existing sill plate.
Expansion anchors shall not be used in unreinforced masonry or concrete or
masonry grout of poor quality. Adhesive anchors shall be required when expansion
anchors will not tighten to the requir ed torque or their installation causes surface cracking
of the foundation wall.
(b) Placement of Anchors. Anchors shall be placed within twelve inches (305
mm), but not less than nine inches (229 mm), from the ends of sill plates and shall be
placed near t he center of the stud space closest to the required spacing. New sill plates
may be installed in pieces when necessary because of existing conditions. The minimum
length of new sill plate pieces shall be thirty inches (762 mm).
Exception: Where physical ob structions such as fireplaces, plumbing or heating
ducts interfere with the placement of an anchor, the anchor shall be placed as close to
the obstruction as possible, but not less than nine inches (229 mm) from the end of the
plate. Center -to -center spaci ng of the anchors shall be reduced as necessary to provide
the minimum total number of anchors required based on the full length of the wall. Center -
to -center spacing shall not be less than twelve inches (305 mm).
51
(c) New Perimeter Foundations. Sill plates for new perimeter foundations shall
be anchored as required by the Building Code.
8.68.080 Cripple wall bracing.
(a) General. Unless analysis is provided by an engineer or architect, exterior
cripple walls, not exceeding four feet (1,219 mm) in height, shall use the prescriptive
bracing method listed below. Cripple walls more than four feet (1,219 mm) in height
require analysis by an engineer or architect in accordance with the Building Code.
(b) Sheathing Requirements. Wood structural panel sheathing shall not be less
than fifteen -thirty -seconds -inch (12 mm) thick. When used, plywood panels shall be
constructed of a minimum of four plies. All wood structural panels shall be nailed with 8d
common nails spaced four inches (102 mm) on center at all edges and at twelve inches
(305 mm) on center at each intermediate support. Nails shall be driven so that their head
or crown is flush with the surface of the sheathing and shall penetrate the supporting
member a minimum of one a nd one -half inch (38 mm). When a nail fractures the surface,
it shall be left in place and not counted as part of the required nailing. A new 8d nail shall
be located within two inches (51 mm) of the discounted nail and hand driven flush with
the sheathing surface.
All horizontal joints must occur over nominal two -inch by four -inch (51 mm by 102
mm) blocking installed with the nominal four -inch (102 mm) dimension against the face
of the plywood. All vertical joints must occur over studs. Vertical joints at adjoining pieces
of wood structural panels shall be centered on existing studs such that there is a minimum
one -eighth inch (3.2 mm) between the panels. Nails shall be placed a minimum of one -
half inch (12.7 mm) from the edges of the existing stud. When su ch edge distance cannot
52
be maintained because of the width of the existing stud, a new stud shall be added
adjacent to the existing and connected with 16d common nails at eight inches (206 mm)
on center. A minimum of three such nails shall be provided.
(c) Distribution and Amount of Bracing. See Table 8.68 -A below for the
distribution and amount of bracing required. Bracing for a building with two or more floor
levels above cripple wall studs exceeding fourteen inches (356 mm) in height shall be
designed in accordance with the Building Code.
The length of the braced panel shall be at least two times the height of the cripple
stud wall but not less than forty -eight inches (1,219 mm). All panels along a wall shall be
nearly equal in length and shall be nearly equally spaced along the length of the wall.
Braced panels at ends of walls shall be located as near the end as possible. When the
minimum amount of bracing prescribed in Table 8.68 -A cannot be installed due to
obstructions along any wall, the bracing must be designed by an architect or engineer.
Exception:
(1) Where physical obstructions such as fireplaces, plumbing or heating ducts
interfere with the equal spacing requirement for cripple wall bracing, the bracing may be
placed as close to the obstruction as possible, provided the total length of bracing required
is not reduced.
(2) Required lengths of braced panels may include underfloor ventilation openings
when the height of the solid portion of the panel meets or exceeds seventy -five percent
of the heig ht of the cripple stud wall provided the sheathing is properly fastened to framing
members or blocking around the opening.
53
(3) For one - and two -story buildings, cripple walls less than twelve inches in height
may be braced by two -inch nominal lumber nailed to the top plate with 16d common nails
at four inches on center and connected to the sill plate with a supplemental connection
as specified in Section 8.68.050 (d). Ventilation holes in such stud spaces shall not exceed
one -inch in diameter.
(d) Stud Space Ventilation. When bracing materials are installed on the interior
face of studs forming an enclosed space between the new bracing and existing exterior
finish, each braced stud space must be ventilated. Adequate ventilation and access for
future inspection shall be pr ovided by drilling one two -inch to three -inch (51 mm to 76
mm) diameter round hole through the sheathing nearly centered between each stud at
the top and bottom of the cripple wall. Such holes should be spaced a minimum of one -
inch (25 mm) clear from the s ill or top plates. In stud spaces containing sill bolts, the hole
shall be located on the centerline of the sill bolt but not closer than one -inch (25 mm) clear
from the nailing edge of the sheathing.
When existing blocking occurs within the stud space, ad ditional ventilation holes
shall be placed above and below the blocking or the existing block shall be removed and
a new nominal two -inch (51 mm) by four -inch (102 mm) block installed with the nominal
four -inch (102 mm) dimension against the face of the pl ywood. For stud heights less than
eighteen inches (457 mm) only one ventilation hole need be provided.
Exception: When two -inch nominal bracing is used for one - and two -story buildings
with cripple walls less than twelve inches in height, ventilation holes shall not exceed one -
inch in diameter.
54
(e) Underfloor Ventilation. Existing underfloor ventilation shall not be reduced
without providing equivalent new ventilation as close to the existing as possible. When a
new continuous perimeter foundation system is being installed, ventilation shall be
provided in accordance with the Building Code.
8.68.090 Quality assurance.
(a) Inspection. All work shall be subject to inspec tion by the Building Officer
including, but not limited to:
(1) Placement and installation of new adhesive or expansion anchors or anchor
side plates installed in existing foundations.
(2) Placement of required blocking and framing anchors.
(3) Installatio n and nailing of new cripple wall bracing.
(b) Special Inspection. Unless required by the Building Officer or the architect or
engineer of record, special inspection is not required for sill plate anchors installed in
existing foundations regulated by the provisions of this Chapter.
(c) Structural Observation. Structural observation is not required for work done
under the prescriptive provisions of this Chapter. When construction documents for
strengthening are prepared by an architect or engineer and alternate materials or
methods are used, structural observation shall b e provided in accordance with the
Building Code.

56
The purpose of this Chapter is to promote public welfare and safety by reducing
the risk of death or injury that may resul t from the effects of earthquakes on existing wood -
frame multi -story buildings with soft, weak or open front walls (Soft Story Buildings). This
Chapter creates minimum standards to mitigate hazards from structural deficiencies in
soft story, weak or open f ront wall buildings. Adherence to these minimum standards will
improve the performance of these buildings during earthquakes and reduce, but not
necessarily prevent the loss of life, injury or earthquake -related damage.
The purpose of this Chapter is to promote the public welfare and safety by reducing
the risk of death or injury that may result from the effects of earthquakes on existing
buildings of light wood -frame construction. This Chapter creates minimum standards t o
strengthen the more vulnerable portions of these structures. When fully followed, these
minimum standards will substantially improve the performance of these buildings but will
not necessarily prevent all earthquake related damage.

8.72.030 Definitions.
ASCE 7 -10 (March 7, 2013) is a standards publication by the American Society of
Civil Engineer entitled “Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.” It
provides requirements for general structural design. This publication is referenced in
Chapter 35 of the California Building Code.
Cripple Wall is a wood -framed stud wall extending from the top of the foundation
wall to the underside of the lowest floor framing of the building.
Ground Floor is any floor within the wood -frame portion of a building whose
elevation is immediately accessible from an adjacent grade by vehicles or pedestrians.
The ground floor portion of the structure does not include any floor that is completely
below adjacent grades.
Open -Front Wall Line is an exterior wall line, without vertical elements of the
lateral force -resisting system, which requires tributary seismic forces to be resisted by
diaphragm rotation o r excessive cantilever beyond parallel lines of shear walls.
Diaphragms that cantilever more than 25 percent of the distance between lines of lateral
force resisting elements from which the diaphragm cantilevers shall be considered
excessive. Exterior exit balconies of six feet or less in width shall not be considered
excessive cantilevers.
Soft Wall Line is a wall line, the lateral stiffness of which is less than what is
required by story drift limitations or deformation compatibility requirements of this
Chapter. In lieu of the engineering analysis required by this Chapter to determine whether
59
a wall line's lateral stiffness is less than the aforementioned story drift limitations or
deformation compatibility requirements, a soft wall line may be defined a s a wall line in a
story where the wall stiffness is less than 70 percent of the stiffness of the exterior wall
above for the direction under consideration.
Story is as defined in the California Building Code, but includes any basement or
underfloor space of a building with cripple walls exceeding four feet in height.
Story Strength is the total strength of all seismic -resisting elements sharing the
same story shear in the direction under consideration.
Wall Line is any length of a wall along a principal axis of the building used to
provide resistance to lateral loads.
Weak Wall Line is a wall line at the ground floor where the wall strength is less
than 80 percent of the strength of the wall above in the direction under consideration.
Notwithstanding th e applicable definitions, symbols and notations in the Building
Code, the following definitions shall apply for the purposes of this Chapter:
Aspect ratio is the ratio of the height of a wall section to its width.
Building Code is the Building Code of the City of Santa Monica.
Cripple wall is a wood -framed stud wall extending from the top of the foundation
wall to the underside of the lowest floor framing.
Date of engineering report submittal is either that date upon which the r eport
was due to be submitted to the City, or the date of actual submittal to the city, whichever
is earlier.
Expansion anchor is an approved mechanical fastener placed in hardened
concrete, designed to expand in a self -drilled or pre -drilled hole of a spe cified size and
60
engage the sides of the hole in one or more locations to develop shear and/or tension
resistance to applied loads without grout, adhesive or drypack.
Ground floor is any floor within the wood frame portion of a building whose
elevation is i mmediately accessible from an adjacent grade by vehicles or pedestrians.
The ground floor portion of the structure does not include any level that is completely
below adjacent grades.
Level is a story, basement, or underfloor space of a building with cripp le walls
exceeding four feet in height.
Nonconforming structural materials are wall bracing materials for seismic loads
whose allowable shear value was reduced or whose maximum allowable aspect ratio was
decreased since the original building construction. These methods or materials include,
but are not limited to cement or gypsum plaster, gypsum wallboard, diagonal or let -in
bracing, straight or diagonal wood sheathing, particle board and structural wood panels.
Open front wall line is an exterior wall line without vertical elements of the lateral
force resisting system which requires tributary seismic forces to be resisted by diaphragm
rotation or excessive cantilever beyond parallel lines of shear walls. Diaphragms that
cantilever more than twenty -five per cent of the distance between lines of lateral force
resisting elements shall be considered excessive. Exterior exit balconies of six feet or
less in width shall not be considered excessive cantilevers.
Retrofit is an improvement of the lateral force resist ing system by alteration of
existing structural elements or addition of new structural elements.
Soft wall line is a wall line whose lateral stiffness is less than required by story
drift limitations or deformation compatibility requirements of this Chapter. In lieu of
61
analysis, this may be defined as a wall line in a story where the story stiffness is less than
se venty percent of the story above for the direction under consideration.
Story strength is the total strength of all seismic resisting elements sharing the
same story shear in the direction under consideration.
Type I building is any wood frame building tha t must be usable in the event of an
emergency, and shall include hospitals, police and fire stations and disaster recovery
centers.
Type II building is any wood frame building with one hundred or more occupants
or any building with occupied square footage other than parking or storage on the first
floor or level of the building.
Type III building is any wood frame building with at least twenty but fewer than
one hundred occupants.
Type IV building is any wood frame building with fewer than twenty occupants.
Wall line is any length of a wall along a principal axis of the building used to provide
resistance to lateral loads. Parallel wall lines separated by less than four feet shall be
considered one wall line for the distribution of loads.
Weak wall line is a wall line laterally braced with nonconforming structural
materials or a wall line in a story where the story strength is less than eighty percent of
the story above in the direction under consideration.
Wood frame building is any building whose basic stru ctural system is a bearing
wall system and whose lateral -force -resisting system is mostly light framed walls with
shear panels but may also consist, in lesser part, of braced frames, moment frames or
cantilevered column elements.

8.72.070 Administration.
(a) Building Classification. The Building Officer shall determine the occupant
load and classification of building type. The occupant load shall be determined in
accordance with the Building Code and shall include the entire building plus the occupant
load of any adjacent building th at interconnects with the subject building or uses the
subject building for exiting purposes.
(b) Contents of Order. When the Building Officer determines that a building is
within the scope of this Chapter, the Building Officer shall issue an order as prov ided
herein.
The order shall specify that the building has been determined by the Building
Officer to be within the scope of this Chapter and, therefore, is required to meet the
seismic strengthening provisions of this Chapter. The order shall specify the building type
classification and shall set forth the owner’s alternatives and time limits for compliance.
(c) Service of Order. The order shall be in writing and may be given either by
personal delivery thereof to the owner or by deposit in the United Stat es mail in a sealed
envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to the owner as shown on the last equalized
68
assessment roll. Service by mail shall be deemed to have been completed at the time of
deposit in the U.S. mail. The failure of any owner to receive such n otice shall not affect in
any manner the validity of any of the proceedings taken thereunder. Proof of giving notice
may be made by an affidavit of any employee of the City which shows service in
conformity with this Section. Building and Fire Life Safety Commission action, Nuisance
Abatement Board action, Building Officer administrative action, other correspondence
between the City and the building owner or building owner’s representative, or other
evidence of knowledge of notification shall also be deemed as proof of giving notice.
(d) Recordation. At the time that the Building Officer serves the aforementioned
order, the Building Officer shall file with the Office of the County Recorder a certificate
stating that the subject building is within the scope o f this Chapter. The certificate shall
also state that the owner thereof has been ordered to structurally analyze the building
and to structurally alter it when the Building Officer determines the building is not in
compliance with this Chapter.
If the buil ding is either demolished, found not to be within the scope of this Chapter,
or is structurally capable of resisting minimum seismic forces required by this Chapter as
a result of structural alterations or an analysis, the Building Officer shall file with the Office
of the County Recorder a certificate terminating the status of the subject building as being
classified within the scope of this Chapter.
8.72.080 Analysis a nd design.
(a) General. Every building within the scope of this Chapter shall be analyzed,
designed and constructed in conformance with the Building Code except as modified
69
herein. No alteration of the existing lateral force -resisting or vertical load -c arrying system
shall reduce the strength or stiffness of the existing structure.
When any portion of a building within the scope of this Chapter is constructed on
or into a slope steeper than one unit vertical in three units horizontal, the lateral -force -
resisting system at and below the base level diaphragm shall also comply with the
provisions of Chapter 8.20 of this Code.
When the portion of the building that requires strengthening is limited to the
underfloor area of the first floor and that area is used only as an uninhabited crawl space,
strengthening requirements shall also compl y with the provisions of Chapter 8.68 of this
Code.
(b) Scope of Load Path. This Chapter requires the alteration, repair, replacement
or addition of structural elements and their connections to meet the strength and stiffness
requirements herein. The later al load path analysis shall include the resisting elements
and connections from the wood diaphragm above any soft, weak or open front wall lines
to the foundation soil interface or reinforced concrete slab or masonry wall supporting
elements below. The lat eral load path analysis for added structural elements shall also
include evaluation of the allowable soil bearing and lateral pressures in accordance with
the Building Code.
When an open front, weak or soft wall line exists due to parking at the ground level
of a two -level building and the parking area is less than twenty percent of the ground floor
level, then only the wall lines in the open, weak or soft directions of the enclosed parking
area, need comply with the provisions of this Chapter.
70
(c) Desig n Base Shear. The design base shear in a given direction shall be equal
to the base shear that the Building Code requires for new buildings.
(d) Vertical Distribution of Forces. The total seismic force shall be distributed
over the height of the structure in accordance with the Building Code except that
distribution of force by story weight shall be permitted for two -story buildings. The value
of R used in the design of any story shall be less than or equal to the value of R used in
the given direction for the story above.
(e) Weak Story Limitation. The structure shall not exceed thirty feet in height or
two levels if the lower level strength is less than sixty -five percent of the story above.
Existing walls shall be strengthened as required to comply with t his provision unless the
weak level can resist a total lateral seismic force of three times the design force prescribed
in subsection (c) of this Section.
The story strength for each level of all other structures shall be a minimum of eighty
percent of the story above.
(f) Story Drift Limitation. The calculated story drift for each retrofitted level shall
not exceed the allowable deformation compatible with all vertical load resisting elements
and the story drift limitations of the Building Code. The calcul ated story drift shall not be
reduced by the effects of horizontal diaphragm stiffness but shall be increased when
these effects produce rotation.
The effects of rotation and soil stiffness shall be included in the calculated story
drift when lateral loads are resisted by vertical elements whose required depth of
embedment based on the requirements of Section 1807.3 of the California Building Code .
The coefficient of variation of subgrade reaction used in the deflection calculations shall
7 1
be provided from a n approved geotechnical engineering report or other approved
methods.
(g) PΔ Effects. The requirements of the Building Code shall apply except as
modified herein. All framing elements not required by the design to be part of the lateral
force resisting sys tem shall be investigated and shown to be adequate for vertical load
carrying capacity when displaced three times the displacements resulting from the
required lateral force. The stress analysis of cantilever columns shall use a buckling factor
of 2.1 for the direction normal to the axis of the beam.
(h) Ties and Continuity. All parts of the structure included in the scope of
subsection (b) of this Section shall be interconnected and the connection shall be capable
of resisting the seismic force created by the parts being connected. Any smaller portion
of a building shall be tied to the remainder of the building with elements having a minimum
strength equal to one -fifth of the tributary dead load of the smaller portion. A positive
connection for resisting a horizontal force acting parallel to the member shall be provided
for each beam, girder or truss included in the lateral load path. This force shall not be less
than one -tenth of the combined tributary dead and live loads or as required by the lateral
load path transfer, whichever is greater.
(i) Collector Elements. Collector elements shall be provided that can transfer the
seismic forces originating in other portions of the building to the elements within the scope
of subsection (b) of this Section that pro vide resistance to those forces.
(j) Horizontal Diaphragms. The analysis of shear demand or capacity of an
existing plywood or diagonally sheathed horizontal diaphragm need not be investigated
unless the diaphragm is required to transfer lateral forces fro m the lateral resisting
72
elements above the diaphragm to other lateral resisting elements below the diaphragm
due to offset in placement of the elements.
Wood diaphragms in structures that support floors or roofs above shall not be
allowed to transmit later al forces by rotation or cantilever. However, rotational effects shall
be accounted for when unsymmetric wall stiffness increases shear demands.
Exception: Diaphragms that cantilever twenty -five percent or less of the distance
between lines of lateral load resisting elements from which the diaphragm cantilevers may
transmit their shears by cantilever provided that rotational effects on shear walls parallel
and perpendicular to the load are accounted for.
(k) Shear Walls. Shear walls shall have sufficient strength and stiffness to resist
the tributary seismic loads and shall conform to the special requirements of this Section.
(l) Gypsum or Plaster Products. Gypsum or plaster products shall not be used
to provide lateral r esistance.
(m)Wood Structural Panels. Shear walls sheathed with wood structural panels
may be used to resist horizontal forces that do not exceed the allowable shear values and
story drift limitations of the Building Code.
Openings are permitted in shear walls if they do not exceed fifty percent of the
height or width of the shear wall. The remaining portion of the shear wall shall be
strengthened for the transfer and increase of all shearing forces caused by the opening.
The resulting shear wall shall be analyzed as a mosaic of shear resisting elements.
Blocking and steel strapping shall be employed at the corners of the opening to transfer
forces from discontinuous boundary elements into adjoining panel elements.
73
The effect of openings on the stiffness of the shear wall shall be demonstrated to
comply with the story drift limitations of the Building Code. The stiffness shall be
calculated using the properties of the different shear elements making up the shear wall
or it shall be demonstrated by approved t esting. When shear walls cannot be made to
conform to the requirements of this Section because of existing openings, the openings
shall be relocated or reduced in width to meet the strength and stiffness requirements of
the lateral loads.
Relocated and alt ered openings shall comply with the emergency escape and
rescue requirements of the Building Code. Relocated and altered openings shall comply
with the light and ventilation requirements for residential occupancies unless otherwise
approved by the Building Officer.
(n) Wood Species of Framing Members. Allowable shear values for wood
structural panels shall consider the species of the framing members. When the allowable
shear values are based on douglas fir -larch framing members and framing members are
const ructed of other species of lumber, the allowable shear values shall be multiplied by
the following factors: 0.82 for species with specific gravities greater than or equal to 0.42
but less than 0.49, and 0.65 for species with specific gravities less than 0.42. Redwood
shall use 0.65 and hem fir shall use 0.82 unless otherwise approved.
(o) Mechanical Penetrations. Mechanical penetrations in shear walls shall be
accounted for in the design or the shear wall shall be analyzed as two separate walls on
each side of the penetration.
(p) Substitution for Three -Inch Nominal Width Framing Members. Double two -
inch nominal width framing members shall be permitted in lieu of any required three -inch
74
nominal width framing member when the existing and new framing member ar e of equal
dimensions, are connected as required to transfer the in -plane shear between them and
the sheathing for the shear wall is equally fastened between them.
(q) Hold Down Connectors. Expansion anchors that provide tension strength by
friction resist ance shall not be used to connect hold down devices to existing concrete or
masonry elements. Expansion anchors shall be permitted to provide tension strength by
bearing.
The required depth of embedment or edge distance for the anchor used in the hold
down connector shall be provided in the concrete or masonry below any plain concrete
slab unless satisfactory evidence is submitted to the Building Officer that shows that the
concrete slab and footings are of monolithic construction.
Bolted hold down connecto rs shall be pre -loaded to reduce slippage of the
connector. Pre -loading shall consist of tightening the nut on the tension anchor after the
placement but before the tightening of the shear bolts in the panel flange member. The
tension anchor shall be tight ened until the shear bolts are in firm contact with the edge of
the hole nearest the direction of the tension anchor. Hold down connectors with self -
jigging bolt standoffs shall be installed in a manner to permit pre -loading.
Deformation of hold down conne ctors at ultimate loads shall be compatible with
adjoining elements and shall be verified by approved testing.

reports, material testing or record drawings as determined by the structural designer and
approved by the Building Officer.
(d) Wood Structural Panel Shear Walls.
(1) Allowable Nail Slip Values. When the required drift calculations of Section
8.72.080 (f) rely on the lower slip values for common nails or surfaced dry lumber, their
use in construction shall be verified by exposure. The use of box nails and unseasoned
lumber may be assumed without exposure. The verification of surfaced dry lumber shall
be by identification conforming to the Building Code.
(2) Reduction for Clipped Nail Heads. When exposed nai ls do not meet the
nominal head sizes required for hand driven nails in the Building Code, the allowable
shear capacity for shear walls sheathed with wood structural panels shall be reduced.
Allowable shear values for sheathing nailed with clipped nail hea ds shall be equal to
sheathing fastened with casing heads in the Building Code.
76
(3) Plywood Panel Construction. When verification of the existing plywood
materials is by use of record drawings alone, the panel construction for plywood shall be
assumed to be of three plies.
(4) Framing Members of Other Species. When verification of the existing wood
material is by u se of record drawings, the allowable shear capacity shall be multiplied by
the reduction factor of 0.82 for buildings built on or after 1960. Buildings built before this

SECTION 7. Chapter 8.80 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Chapter 8.80 Mandatory Seismic Retrofit Requirements for Existing Non -
Ductile Concrete Buildings SEISMIC STRENGTHENING PROVISIONS FOR
EXISTING NON -DUCTILE CONCRETE BUILDINGS
8.80.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this Chapter is to promote the public welfare and safety by reducing
the risk of death or injury that may result from the effects of earthquakes on existing
concrete buildings. Older concrete buildings are typically vulnerable in seismic events
due to deficiencies in the lateral force resisting system (b eams, columns and joints) that
render the building incapable of sustaining gravity loads when the building is subjected to
89
earthquake -induced lateral displacements. This Chapter creates minimum standards to
mitigate hazards from these structural deficienc ies. Adherence to these minimum
standards will improve the performance of these buildings during earthquakes and
reduce, but not necessarily prevent , the loss of life, injury or earthquake -related damage.
The purpose of this Chapter is to promote public safety and welfare by reducing
the risk of death or injury that may result from the effects of earthquakes on concrete
buildings and concrete frame buildings with masonry infills.

(c) An owner of any buildings within the scope of this Chapter shall demonstrate
compliance with the mandatory seismic retrofit requirements of this Chapter, as set forth
in Section 8.80.050, consistent with the time limits set forth in this Chapter.
The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to all buildings that were designed under
building codes in effect prior to January 11, 1976, or built with building permits issued
prior to January 11, 1978, and said buildings have concrete floors or roofs supported by
reinforced concrete walls or concrete frames and columns, or said buildings have
concrete frames with masonry infills.

Section 4.36.060 based on the relocation amounts previously in effect, but has not yet
received a written request from a tenant for distribution of the fee pursuant to Section
4.36 .070 , the landlord shall place in escrow the additional amount of relocation fee
required by this Section within five working days of the effective date of the updated

(c) In lieu of deposit of the permanent relocation fee in an escrow account, a
landlord may deposit the fee in another account approved by the City.
4.36.070 Payment to displaced tenants of permanent relocation fee.
(a) Within two working days of the written request by the tenant, the landlord

amount withheld. If no decision has been rendered or no judgment has been entered for
a monetary award in favor of the landlord prior to the tenant’s vacation of the unit, the
landlord must authorize the distribution of the entire relocation fee in accordance with
Section 4.36.070 .

other remedies, penalties or procedures provided by law.
4.36.100 Temporary relocation mandated by code compliance or by
government order.
(a) A landlord is req uired to provide temporary relocation benefits to tenants as
required by this Section when:
(1) The landlord is required to temporarily recover possession of a rental housing
unit in order to comply with housing, health, building, fire or safety laws of th e State of
California or the City of Santa Monica, or
(2) A rental housing unit has been rendered uninhabitable, necessitating the
tenant(s) of the housing unit to no longer dwell within that unit, or
(3) A tenant is required to vacate a rental housing uni t upon the order of any
government officer or agency.
A landlord’s obligations under this subsection shall be self -executing; nonetheless,
the Building Officer may issue a relocation order to the landlord to compel performance
under this Section. No person shall fail to comply with any such relocation order.
(b) These relocation benefits shall include both temporary housing as provided in
subsection (c) of this Section and moving costs as provided in subsection (d) of this
109
Section and shall be paid until su ch time temporary relocation benefits are no longer
required by law, such as when legal tenancy is terminated or the tenant is returned to
his/her dwelling unit which has been made habitable. Provision of temporary relocation
benefits does not relieve the Landlord’s obligation to provide permanent relocation
benefits as required by this Chapter.
(c) The type of temporary housing, required by this Section is dependent on the
duration of the tenant’s displacement. When the Building Officer or landlord determi nes
the need for a tenant to vacate, he or she shall estimate the projected duration of the
vacancy. That estimate will determine whether subsection (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this Section
must be followed. If the Building Officer orders relocation, he or she sha ll provide notice
to the landlord and all affected tenants of the relocation requirements and responsibilities
pursuant to this Section. This notice may include a copy of this Section and the City
Council’s resolution regarding per diem rates. The landlord shall facilitate the Building
Officer’s provision of tenant notification by providing forwarding contact information for
affected tenants if the tenants vacated the premises prior to the Building Officer’s Order.
If the landlord determines that the provis ions of this code require a tenant to vacate, the
landlord shall provide notice of the estimated relocation period to affected tenants and
relocation benefit requirements and responsibilities established by this Section.
(1) Relocation Less Than 30 days. I f it is anticipated that a tenant will be displaced
for a period less than thirty days, the landlord shall pay the tenant relocation costs in the
per diem amounts set by the City Council pursuant to subsection (e). The per diem
amount shall be calculated t o include compensation for the following:
110
(A) Temporary relocation to a motel or hotel accommodation which is safe,
sanitary, located in Santa Monica and contains standard amenities such as a telephone;
(B) Meals, if the temporary accommodation lacks cooki ng facilities;
(C) Laundry, if the rental property included laundry facilities; and
(D) Accommodations for lawful pets if the temporary accommodation does not
accept pets.
The landlord shall have the option, in lieu of providing tenant relocation costs in
accordance with this subsection, of providing the tenant with comparable housing
pursuant to subsection (c)(2) for the period of the displacement or temporary placement
in a safe and sanitary hotel/motel if the relocation is estimated to be five (5) days or less.
If the relocation extends beyond five (5) days , the tenant shall be entitled to the per diem
or comparable housing, unless the tenant explicitly agree s to extend his/her stay in the
ho tel/motel . The tenant shall remain responsible to pay to the landlord rent which falls
due for the tenant’s existing unit during the period of displacement.
(2) Relocation 30 days or Greater. If it is anticipated that the displacement will be
for a period of thirty days or greater, the landlord shall provide either temporary rental
housing or per diem payments in accordance with Subsection (c)(1) of this Section,
prepaid by the landlord in weekly increments. If the landlord elects temporary rental
housing, such housing shall be comparable to the tenant’s existing housing, as
determined by the Building Officer. However, a landlord’s election of temporary rental
housing shall not be revocable by the landlord, once the tenant moves into the temporary
housing. I n cases where the landlord elects temporary rental housing, the landlord must
provide per diem payments in accordance with Subsection (c)(1) of this Section until such
111
time the displaced tenant is housed in temporary rental housing. The landlord shall pay
all costs associated with the temporary housing, including rent, even if the temporary
housing is more expensive than the tenant’s existing unit. The tenant shall remain
responsible to pay rent to the landlord for the tenant’s existing unit during the peri od of
displacement.
(3) The relocation benefits required by this Section shall be paid within twenty -four
hours of when any condition outlined in Subsection (a) of this Section arises, or at least
twenty days prior to the vacation date set forth in any ord er or notice to vacate, whichever
is later.
(4) If the landlord or the Building Officer determines that the actual relocation
period will be longer than a landlord has paid for, or than projected by the landlord or the
Building Officer, the landlord must n otify the affected tenant as soon as the determination
is made and promptly pay the tenant the amount owed and remain current on such
payments. If a tenant’s actual vacancy period is shorter than the period the landlord has
paid for, the tenant must repay any overpaid amount to the landlord within thirty days of
receiving written notice from the landlord of the overpayment. The landlord must make a
good faith effort to monitor the necessity of the tenant’s continued displacement and
provide the tenant with advance notice of any changes to the anticipated relocation
period.
(5) The landlord shall ensure that temporary r elocation of a tenant does not exceed
the estimated relocation period as determined by the Building Officer pursuant to this
Section . Should a longer period be necessary, the landlord shall request an extension
from the Building Officer and demonstrate good cause for such an extension.
112
(5 6 ) The landlord and the tenant may mutually agree upon a housing type or
relocation benefit other than what is required by this Section. The landlord may not coerce
any tenant into such an agreement. Any such coercion may constitute unlawful tenant
harassment, subject to the remedies set forth in Chapter 4.56 of this Code.
(d) Moving costs shall consist of all actual reasonable costs of moving, including
transportation of personal property, packing and unpacking, insurance of personal
property while in transit, compensation for any damage occurring during moving,
necessary storage of personal prop erty, disconnection and reconnection of utility services
related to the move and any other additional costs attributable to a tenant’s special needs,
including needs resulting from disability or age.
(e) The City Council shall periodically establish by res olution reasonable per diem
rates for the following items of temporary relocation expenses required under this Section.
These rates shall be adjusted annually for inflation by the percentage change in the
Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) commencing on July 1, 2007 and on July 1st of each year
thereafter.
(1) Hotel accommodations;
(2) Meal allowance;
(3) Laundry allowance;
(4) Pet accommodations.
(f) The displacement and relocation of a tenant pursuant to this Section or Section
8.100.030 shall not terminate the tenancy of the displaced tenant. The displaced tenant
shall have the right to reoccupy his or her unit upon the completion of the work necessary
for the unit to comply with housing, health, building or safety laws, any governmental
113
order, or the unit is otherwise restored to a habitable condition, the tenant shall retain all
rights of tenancy that existed prior to the displacement.
(g) Upon receiving a relocation order from the City, t he landlord is required to
promptly obtain any required permits and/or approvals from the City and/or other
regulatory agency who has jurisdiction over the required work, promptly commence the
necessary work to restore the affected unit(s) to a habitable condition , diligently work
towards completion of the work and return all affected tenants to th eir units .
(g h ) If a displaced tenant’s behavior causes the tenant to be removed or evicted,
for cause, from his/her temporary housing accommodations, the landlord may request
and the Building Officer may grant early termination of temporary relocation obligations
with respect to that tenant. The Building Officer may develop criteria that would aid in
reviewing such requests.
(h i ) A landlord or tenant who disputes a notice or order rega rding temporary
relocation benefits may request a hearing pursuant to the procedures set forth in Chapter
6.16 . Any such hearing request shall be filed with the Building Officer within two business
days of the notice or order on a form provided by the Buil ding Officer.
(i j ) An appeal shall not automatically stay the underlying relocation order.
However, the Building Officer or the Hearing Examiner on appeal may grant a written
request to stay the relocation order. Any such request to stay the relocation order shall
be conside red as soon as practicable. The Hearing Examiner may choose to make any
preliminary inquiries necessary, including holding a preliminary in -person or telephonic
hearing, to receive preliminary facts. However, if the Building Officer rejects a landlord’s
wr itten request to stay a relocation order pending an appeal and the landlord ultimately
114
prevails in overturning the Building Officer’s relocation order, the City shall reimburse the
landlord any actual reasonable housing, moving and storage costs incurred b y the
landlord as required by Section 4.36.100 , which shall begin to accrue on the first business
day after the date the City receives a written stay request. The landlord may not recover
other costs, such as attorney’s fees or court costs, from the City.
4.36.110 Applicability of relocation assistance requirements as provided in
this Chapter.
(a) A tenant shall be entitled to the relocation benefits established by th is
Chapter pursuant to Section 4.36.100 .
(b) The landlord shall comply with the requirements contained in Sections
4.36.030 , 4.36.040 , 4.36.050 and 4.36.060 within five days of the effective date of any
ordinance codified in this Chapter or any update of t he fee amount pursuant to Section
4.36.040 in the event that a notice to terminate tenancy for one of the reasons set forth in
Section 4.36.020 (a) has already been served on a tenant or a notice to terminate tenancy
pursuant to Section 4.36.020 (b) has alre ady been served on a landlord. In the event that
on the effective date of any such amendment or update, a landlord has complied with the
provisions of Section 4.36.060 previously in effect, but has not yet received a written
request from a tenant for distr ibution of the fee pursuant to Section 4.36.070 , the landlord
shall place in escrow the additional amount of relocation fee required by Section 4.36.040
within five working days of the effective date of the amendment or update.
(c) Nothing in this Chapter shall limit the amount of the relocation fee that the
City Council may require under Government Code Section 65863.7.
115
(d) An administrative citation’s fine amount shall be doubled, when the citation
is issued in connection with a landlord’s commencement of construction work without first
obtaining all necessary governmental permits and that the work necessitated the
relocation of a tenant.
4.36.120 Applicability of Ch apter to certain situations.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 4.36.110 and 4.36.100 (c), the requirements set
forth in this Chapter shall not apply to any tenant whose tenancy is terminated pursuant
to a lawful notice to terminate tenancy pursuant to Section 18 06(a) of the City Charter
served on or before June 10, 1986.
(b) No landlord shall be required to pay temporary relocation benefits pursuant
to Section 4.36.100 if the displacement and relocation of the tenant is the result of an
earthquake or other natura l disaster, terrorist attack, or other incident occurring or
substantially initiated off of the property from which relocation is required, but not caused
by the landlord, as determined by the Fire Marshal or Building Officer (such as vehicle
accident, cri minal activity, public utility failure or adjacent building failure). However, to
the extent that any person, other than the landlord, causes tenant relocation pursuant to
Section 4.36.100 , such person shall be responsible for the provision of temporary
re location benefits, as required by Section 4.36.100 .
(e c ) The displacement and relocation of a tenant for repair and retrofitting
pursuant to Municipal Code Chapters 8.60 , 8.64 , 8.68, 8.72 , 8.76 , and 8.80 shall not
terminate the tenancy of the displaced tenant. The displaced tenant shall have the right
to reoccupy the unit upon the completion of the repairs and retrofitting and shall retain all
rights of tenancy that existed before the displacement.
116
(c) Se ction 4.36.100 shall not be applicable if the displacement and relocation
of the tenant is necessary to comply with the repair and retrofitting requirements of
Municipal Code Chapters 8.60 , 8.64 , 8.72 , 8.76 , and 8.80 . However, in the event of such
displacement, a landlord shall be responsible to pay the displaced tenant the difference
between reasonable rent actually paid for comparable temporary accommodations, and
the rent which would have been payable to the landlord had the displacement not
occu rred, for any period of displacement which exceeds the following limits:
(1) For buildings less than five stories in height, one hundred eighty days, or if
asbestos removal is required, two hundred seventy days.
(2) For buildings five stories or more in he ight, two hundred seventy days, or if
asbestos removal is required, three hundred sixty days.
(d) The Building Officer and Director of Planning and Community Development
may jointly authorize a longer time period to complete repair and retrofitting if, pri or to
displacement, they find that due to circumstances unique to the building, the repair and
retrofitting will take longer than the preceding time limits. Additionally, after tenant
displacement, the Building Officer and Director of Planning and Communit y Development
may jointly grant a reasonable extension of the time limit if they find that the landlord is
proceeding diligently and expeditiously with repair and retrofitting, and that the inability to
complete the project within the established time limi t is due to the occurrence of events
that were reasonably unforeseeable by and beyond the control of the landlord; provided,
however, that the landlord’s inability to finance such repair and retrofitting shall not be
grounds for such an extension.
117
(f d ) No landlord shall be required to provide temporary relocation benefits
pursuant to Section 4.36.100 to a tenant if that tenant or his or her guest or invitee was
entirely or primarily responsible for causing the condition that necessitated the temporary
reloc ation. In such cases, the landlord’s responsibility to provide temporary relocation
benefits to other non -responsible tenants remains.
(g e ) If a tenant elects to remain in his/her unit (including day, evening, and/or
night time hours) following an order directing temporary relocation, said tenant shall not
receive relocation benefits. However, the tenant’s right to relocation benefits shall not be
affected by the tenant’s limited access to the unit to retrieve personal belongings.
(f) If a tenant interferes, obstructs or delays an owner’s ability to conduct
necessary repairs to restore a unit to habitable status , the owner’s obligation to provide
relocation benefits to th at tenant may be lifted by order of the Building Officer.
4.36.130 Coordination with other relocation requirements.
In the event that a landlord is required by any other governmental body to provide
relocation benefits to a t enant who receives a notice to terminate tenancy for one of the
reasons set forth in Section 4.36.020 , such benefits shall be off -set against the amount
of relocation benefits required by Section 4.36.040 . This Chapter shall not apply to any
relocation pla n approved by agreement by the Rent Control Board on or before June 24,
1986.
4.36.140 Security deposit for temporary relocation.
The Building Officer may require th e landlord to furnish security to the City
sufficient to ensure the timely and faithful performance of all work included within the
scope of a permit and the payment of all relocation assistance necessitated by the
118
temporary displacement of the tenants, if any, based on an analysis of the following
factors: size of project, duration of project, potential for impact on tenant safety, and
invasiveness of project. If required, any of the following or similar instruments are
acceptable forms of security:
(a) A deposit, either with the City or a responsible escrow agent or trust
company, at the option of the City, of money or negotiable bonds of the kind approved for
securing deposits of public monies;
(b) An instrument of credit from one or more financial instit ution subject to
regulation by the State or Federal government or a letter of credit issued by such a
financial institution;
(c) Bond or bonds by one or more duly authorized corporate sureties;
(d) A restricted bank account.

obtaining a permit, the applicant shall submit a construction means and method plan to
the Building Officer which contains the information required by Section 8.100.020 . The
119
Building Officer may consult all relevant sources of authority, including Health and Safety

habitability.
(c) No permit shall be issued until a satisfactory means and method plan is
approved by the Building Officer, if required.
(d) If the unit or building was not tenant occupied at the time a permit application
was submitted, the applicant shall submit a construction means and method plan prior to
any unit in the building being tenant occupied. If the Building Officer determines that the
work could impact the habitability of any unit on the property given the man ner in which
the construction is being undertaken, the requirements of Sections 8.100.020 , 8.100.030 ,
8.100.040 , 8.100.050 , and 8.100.060 below shall also apply.
(e) The Building Officer may stop construction until all applicable requirements
of this Chapt er have been met.

construction impacts on tenants ;.
(f) A description of all related construction projects at the property that would
commence concurrent with or immedi ately after the proposed project is scheduled to end.
8.100.030 Relocation plan.
(a) If the construction means and method plan demonstrates, as determined by
the Building Officer, that the work being performed on the property may require that tenants
be temporarily relocated, the applicant shall also prepare and submit a relocation plan on

shall contain:
(1) The fair and reasonable relocation benefits that will be provided to all
displaced tenants as required by Municipal Code Section 4.36.100 ;
(2) The timing of the displacement will be provided to all tenants who will be

relocation benefits and adequate provisions have been made for the orderly, timely, and
efficient relocation of displaced tenan ts to comparable replacement housing.
(b) If the Building Officer determined, at the time of permit approval, that
temporary relocation was not required and if new construction conditions could potentially
impact habitability of any tenant unit, the applic ant must submit an amended means and
method plan and obtain all required City approvals prior to commencing any work beyond
the scope of work originally approved. If the Building Officer determines that the work could
impact the habitability of any unit on the property given the manner in which the change in

8.100.050 , and 8.100.060 below shall also apply.

Subject:FW: Santa Monica Revision to Seismic Retrofit Standards
Dear Mr. Takiguchi and All Santa Monica City Council Memb ers:
Thank you for the thoughtful approach Mr. Takiguchi’s team has put into the proposed revision to the existing Seismic
Retrofit Standards. My collogues in the housing industry, fellow apartment association members and clients are in the
process of reviewing the proposed revisions and have a major concern.
The significant con c ern that I would like to bring to your attention which is the recording of a public notice with the
county recorder which intended to advise and protect the tenants and public may have devastating unintended
consequences. If the notice copies the example of another city an d uses the ti tle “Notice of Substandard Condition”
instead of a more general term such as “Notice of Seismic Retrofit Requirement” it may trigger a default of a property
owners loan. Additionally, according to three lenders I consulted with it would make re ‐financing a property almost
impossible thus preventing an owner from obtaining funds needed to retrofit a property .
I urge you to consider 1.) not requiri ng the recordation of a notice on a property; or 2.) modifying the title of the notice
to read “Notice of Seismic Retrofit Requirement” or some similar language. This would put the tenants and public on
notice and still allow a property owner to refinance a property to obtain f unds needed to comply with th e retrofit
requirements.

Re: Seismic Retrofit Program Draft Ordinance
Hearing Date: February 14, 2017
Agenda Item No. 7 -A
Dear Councilmembers :
This letter is submitted on behalf of several owners of buildings that a re on the
City’s list of Potentially Seismically Vulnerable Buildings. Overall, we are concerned
that most affected building owners have not had an opportunity to review and provide
input on the draft Ordinance as our understanding is that Tuesday’s public hearing has
not been individually noticed to the owners on the City’s list of Potentially Seismically
Vulnerable Buildings. Nonetheless, we appreciate City Staff’s hard work in developing
the Seismic Retrofit Program and want to ensure it is successful. With this in mind, we
are writing to request that the City Council revise the draft Seismic Retrofit Ordinance in
five limited, but important, ways in order to make the program more workable upon
implementation and avoid unintended consequences. We have explained the five
requested changes below and attached a document that includes our proposed specific
language changes to the draft Ordinance.
1. The time limits for submitting a building permit application for the
retrofit and completing the retrofit should not run while either (a) the
C ity is reviewing the structural report to determine if a retrofit is
necessary and/or the scope of the retrofit or (b) the Ci ty is reviewing the
retrofit plans during the plan check process.
As the Ordinance is currently drafted, all time periods for compliance, including
those to file for a building permit and complete the retrofit, run from the date the City
officially notifies a building owner that their building is on the City’s list of Po tentially
Seismically Vulnerable Buildings. T his is unworkable because the time period s to file
for a building permit and complete the retrofit include time expended in City review that
is not within the building owner’s control.
plarmore@hlkklaw.com
Item 7-A
02/14/17
1 Item 7-A
02/14/17
Instead , we ask that th e City Council revise the time periods for filing the building
permit application and completing the retrofit to run from later milestones in order to
account for the time it will take City Staff to (a) review the structural report and (b)
review the building permit application and plans and issue the building permit. We think
this is especially important given that the Ordinance does not mandate time periods for
City Staff to complete its review of structural reports or to plan check building permits
rela ted to seismic retrofits. And, given the additional volume of work this Ordinance will
create for City Staff, the City’s review periods may prove to be much lengthier than
anticipated.
Specifically, we propose the following :
a. The time limit for a building owner to file a building permit application
for a required seismic retrofit should run from the date the City
determines that a retrofit is required (after the City has completed its
review of the structural report).
Absent this change, the bui lding owner’s time period for filing a building permit
would be running while the City is reviewing the building owner’s structural evaluation to
determine if the retrofit is required (and before the building owner knows if the retrofit
will be required or, in some cases, the scope of the work that is required). Given that
the City’s timetable for review of the report is out of the building owner’s control, we do
not think it is fair and may lead to compliance issues if the time period for filing a
buildin g permit application is based on when the City’s initial notice is sent.
For example, as currently drafted property owners with Unreinforced Masonry
Buildings must submit a structural evaluation report to the City within 3 months of being
noticed and, if the City determines a retrofit is required, file for a building permit
application within 6 months of being noticed. Given the time it takes to prepare the
construction documents and other supplemental materials required for a building permit
applicatio n, it would be very difficult (if not impossible) to comply with the 6 -month time
period if the City does not determine the retrofit is needed for weeks or months after the
structural report is filed.
b. The time limit for “Final Approval” (which we assume is completion of
the Seismic Retrofit work) should run from the date the City issues the
building permit for the seismic retrofit work .
Absent this change, the property owner’s time period for completing the retrofit
would be running while both (a) the City is reviewing the property owner’s structural
Item 7-A
02/14/17
1 Item 7-A
02/14/17
evaluation and (b) the City is reviewing the retrofit plans during the plan check
process. Given that the City’s timetable for review of the report and retrofit plans are
out of the property owner’s control, we do not think it is fair and may lead to compliance
issues if the time period for completing the retrofit is based on when the City’s initial
notice is sent. The plan check process is lengthy and can be delayed for any number of
reasons given the number of people required to sign -off on every round of plan check
(e.g. a plan check in a particular department can be held up for weeks if the particular
plan checker goes on leave or retires and the plan check is not assigned). Thus, it
makes sense to wait to start the time period for Final Approval until the building permit
for the seismic work is issued.
If the City is not supportive of the time period for Final Approval running from
issuance of the building permit for the seismic retrofit work, this t ime period should
instead run from the date the City determines that a retrofit is required (after the City
has completed its review of the structural report) and this time period should be tolled
while the plan check process in ongoing.
We appreciate that draft Ordinance Section 8.58.090 provides the Planning
Director (and Hearing Examiner on appeal) with the authority to grant extensions;
however, we do not think it should be necessary for a building owner to apply for (or the
City to process) extensi o ns in the circumstances described above. Instead, it would be
simpler and more fair to ensure that the City’s review periods are not included in the
applicant’s time to file building permit plans and complete the retrofit.
2. The Ordinance should allow more time for sub mitting a building permit
application and completing the retrofit if the retrofit requires exterior
modifications to a building that require design review.
Presumably a t least some retrofit projects will require exterior modifications to
buildings that will trigger design review (either by the Architectural Review Board or
Landmarks Commission). Given that the draft Ordinance does not propose to exempt
retrofit projects from design review, we request that the draft Ordinance be revised t o
indicate that both (a) the time period to file for a building permit and (b) the time period
to complete the retrofit are tolled while the design review process is ongoing (including a
reasonable amount of time to prepare the application and supportive m aterials).
Item 7-A
02/14/17
1 Item 7-A
02/14/17
3. City S taff should have the ability to impose conditions on granting
extensions, including with respect to extensions granted because a
building is proposed for demolition as part of pending entitlements for
redevelopment of a property.
We support City Staff’s ability to grant extensions for good cause as provided in
draft Ordinance Section 8.58.090. Because some of the buildings on the retrofit list are
slated for demolition pending City entitlements for redevelopment of a property, w e
request confirmation from City Staff that “good cause” includes an extension to allow for
the City to make a determination regarding the pending entitlements/demolition of a
building. With this in mind, we think it would be helpful to clarif y that the Pla nning
Director (and Hearing Examiner on appeal) can impose conditions when granting an
extension to tailor it to the particular circumstances.
4. City Staff’s ability to approve reduced parking resulting from a retrofit
should not be limited to a specifi ed number/percentage.
We request that the Council revise Section 8.58.100 of the draft Ordinance to
provide Staff with greater discretion with respect to approving reduced parking that is a
result of a retrofit. In order to allow Staff to approve reduced parking, the draft
Ordinance provides that the building owner must show that there is no other practicable
method to complete the required retrofit without the reduction. Given this and that a
building owner likely has every incentive to keep as much p arking as possible, we do
not think Staff’s discretion with respect to the number of parking spaces that can be
eliminated needs to be limited to a specific number /percentage in the Ordinance .
5. The Ordinance should be clear that new requirements in the City’s
Zoning Ordinance, including the Trash Screening and Enclosure
Requirements , are not triggered by a Retrofit Project.
As currently drafted, Section 8.58.120 of the draft Ordinance implies that the new
and onerous Resource Recovery and Recycling Standards in the 2015 Zoning
Ordinance could be triggered by a retrofit. We do not think it would be appropriate for
the City to require those undergoing the burden and cost of seismically retrofitting their
buildings to comply with new Resource Recovery and Recycling Standards or negotiate
with the Resource Recovery and Recycling Staff over the extent to which the City can
require additional Resource Recovery and Recycling space or associated staging as
part of the seismic retrofit project. Thus, we request that this section be revised to
specifically indicate that the City’s new Resource Recovery and Recycling Standards
are not triggered for seismic retrofit projects.

Congratulations to Ron Takeguchi, Gustav and staff for great job.
As building/safety commissioner Don Gray said: "This is much more complicated than I
thought!"
In real estate, its location location location.
In retrofitting its share share share.
Condo and building owners are legally mandate d to share by paying roughly $15,000 per
parking space. 10 spaces $150,000.
Planning can share by appointing an ombudspe rson to guide owners through the permit
process.
City manager can share by forming an in teragency and stake holders working group.
Finance can share by floati ng a $200 million construction bond.
1% interest on muni bonds compared to 5% on 2n d trust deeds, reduces costs and pass thrus
to tenants.
30 year loan term repayments could be on pr operty tax bills, thus future owners would
continue payments is property is sold.
Finance can coordinate with county assessor to eliminate increased assessed valuation for
construction costs reducing the pass thru to tenants.
Planning can share by fee reductions. 2 soils reports at $2000 each not needed.
Waste management can share by suspending trash recycle deposits.
ARB can share by suspending the rule whereby, if 50% of the exterior is removed, it triggers
code upgrades of new water meters at $5000 and interior fire sprinklers at $10,000.
Building and Safety can share by listing structural engineer s and contractors.
Code Compliance can share by suspending enforcement of non-emergency issues on in-
process retrofitting projects.
Renters can share by paying a portion of this legally manda ted requirement that may be
required by state law.

Dear Honorable Councilmembers,
I would like to bring your attention to concerns related to item 7. A. (Updating Seismic Retrofit
Re quirements).
I have significant concerns regarding the recording of a public notice with the County Recorder which
is intended to advise and protect the tenants and public but may have devastating unintended
consequences. If the notice copies the example of another city and uses the title "Notice of
Substandard Condition" instead of a more general term such as "Notice of Seismic Retrofit
Requirement" it may trigger a default of a property owners loan. Additionally, it may make re-
financing a property almost impossible thus preventing an owner from obtaining funds needed to
retrofit a property.
I urge you to consider 1.) not requiring the recordation of a notice on a property; or 2.) modifying the
title of the notice to read "Notice of Seismic Retrofit Requirement" or some similar language. This
would put the tenants and public on notice and still allow a property owner to refinance a property to
obtain funds needed to comply with the retrofit requirements.
Housing providers find themselves in this situation through no fault of their own as the buildings were
built to the mandated code at the time. We thank you for your consideration.
Thank you,

Dear Honorable Council Members,
I would like to bring your attention to concerns related to ite m 7. A. (Updating Seismic Retrofit Require ments).
My wife and I are the retired owner ‐occupants of a four ‐plex and we have significant concerns regarding the recording
of a public notice with the County Recorder which is intended to advise and protect the tenants and public but may
have devastating uninte nd ed consequences. If the notice copies the example of another city and uses the title "Notice
of Substandard Condition" instead of a more general term such as "Notice of Seismic Retrofit Requirement" it may
trigger a default of a property owners loan. Additionally, it may make re ‐financing a property almost impo ssible th us
preventing an owner from obtaining funds needed to retrofit a property.
I urge you to consider 1.) not requiring the recordation of a notice on a property; or 2.) modifying the title of the notice
to read "Notice of Seismic Retrofit Requirement" or some similar language. This would put the tenants and public on
notice and still allow a pro perty owner to refinance a property to obtain funds needed to comply with the retrofit
requirements.
I take great pride in my building and in providing quality housing for my tenants (and neighbors!). Housing providers like
us find themselves in this situation through no fault of our own as our buildings were built to the mandated code at the
time. We thank you for your consideration.

Subject:Santa Monica retrofit notifications
Dear Council members,
I have seen a copy of another city's notification of retrofit to property owners. It is titl ed, "Certificate of Substandard
Property". It is my understanding that this would negati vely impact an owner from re-financing and obtaining funds we
owners would need to retrofit our proper ties. Please consider an alternate term for "SUBSTANDARD". I applaud Santa
Monica's efforts to make our city earthquake safe. Many of us owners have older buildings with tenants that have rented
here for 20 or more years. We need to be able to get funding to meet Santa Monica's safety standards.

Subject:Seismic Safety Ordinance, City Council Agenda Item 7A, February 14, 2017
Mayor Winterer, Mayor Pro Tempor e Davis, and Councilmembers:
The Santa Monica Conservancy wishes to ca ll your attention to the omission of
consideration of historic resources in the st aff report and the ordinance. The February
13 th Los Angeles Times article on this issue featured a photograph of the Keller Block as
an example of unreinforced masonry; this bu ilding is designated as a Santa Monica
Landmark and is an important feature of our downtown.
While we completely support the objective of public safety in moving forward with
structural repairs to existing buildings on th e City’s list, as well as the emphasis on
tenant protections, the impacts of the specif ied timetable and the failure to consider the
unique needs and circumstances of our hi storic resources co uld have negative
consequences. We respectfully ask that st aff be requested to incorporate specific
provisions for historic resources.
These issues exist for all historic structures, but are most visible at the extreme ends of
the proposed timetable. We suggest that st aff annotate the City’s list of hazardous
buildings to identify those which are design ated landmarks, structures of merit, or
Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) properties. We note numerous unreinforced masonry
buildings on Main Street – for example – that have lo ng been thought of as a
noteworthy historic streetscape. These desi g nated historic resources and HRI properties
may require a longer or more flexible compliance timeta ble, upon request by the
owner. Just as historic resources are give n flexibility in the zoning code concerning
development standards, parking requiremen ts, and similar issues to support their
continued economic viability, compliance with structural upgrades warrants special
consideration so that we do not lose our irreplaceable historic resources.
At the other end of the timeta ble, we are very concerned ab out those historic resources
identified as non-ductile concrete buildings, particularly those which stand vacant and
where City action – or la ck thereof - is impedin g rehabilitation that would include seismic
upgrades. The Civic Auditorium, despite efforts of a dedicated Working Group,
languishes in limbo. The Sears Building, soon to be vacant, has an adaptive reuse
proposal pending that is delayed until the Downtown Plan and the Gateway Plan have
been adopted. These important buildings are at risk of major seismic damage until they
can be rehabilitated.
While the staff report refers to recent state legislation that could provide funding access
for owners in the form of a loan fund, we also recomme nd that possible sources of
financial support for historic resources, pa rticularly designated landmarks, be further
Item 7-A
02/14/17

investigated. It should be emphasized that historic resources are permitted to utilize the
State Historical Buildin g Code (SHBC), which has re g ulations pertainin g to seismic safety
and may provide alternative me ans and methods which reduce costs. Use of the SHBC
in Santa Monica has often been a very diffic ult, time-consuming an d therefore expensive
process for property owners, and priority processing of such requests should be
required.
In conclusion, please consider the following actions in moving forward with the seismic
safety ordinance:
Identify those properties that qualify as historic resources as landmarks or structures
of merit, or which are li sted on the City’s HRI;
Specify that those properties are eligible to use the State Historical Building Code;
Consider additional sources of funding that may be availa ble for historic resources;
Adopt a more flexible timetable for complianc e for the City’s historic resources; and
finally
Proactively consider other ac tions which will encourage, rather than impede, retrofit
of our important vacant or soon to be vacant landmark buildings.
Thank you!

Re: Item #7 A - Seismic Retrofit Program Draft Ordinance
Dear Mayor Winterer and Councilmembers :
The Chamber strongly support s the proposed Seismic
Retrofit Program Ordinance. Our businesses, residents, and
visitors deserve a safe Santa Monica , and we commend the C ity
for making this a priority. We do, however, have a few
recommendations regarding the implementation and timing of
the requirements . Several of our members , who own and/or
occupy buildings on the Potentially Vulnerable Buildings list
have reached out to us with their concerns. Below are three
areas that we believe should be a ddressed to ensur e that the
ordinance will not be unnecessarily burd ensome :
1. Timing
a. While the city reviews the structural report , the
time limit clock for submitting the building
permit and completing the retrofit should be
paused .
b. If a retrofit is deemed necessary, the clock should
again pause while the City reviews the retrofit
plans.
c. If a retrofit includes exterior modificatio n s that
would require design rev iew, more time should
be allowed.
2. Parking Reduction s
The allowable loss of parking resulting from a retrofit
should not be limited to a specific percentage or
number . Staff should be granted more discretion in
approving parking reduction s .

3. O t he r Compliance Issues
The ordinance should clearly state that retrofitting
will not trigger other unrelated compliance issues,
like the new Resource Recovery an d Recycling
Standards. Property owners should n o t be
simultaneously saddled with complying with an
unrelated and expensive standard . E arthq uake
safety is t he priority and other issues should n o t be
triggered by a mandatory retrofit.
Again, we support this ordinance as an important and
necessary step in ensuring our communit y ’s safety and
resilience in the event of an earthquake . We hope that you
will consider our comments and those of other property
owners and tenants that have contacted you, in developing
what we hope will be a model ordinance for Santa Monica.
Sincerely,
Yesenia M onsour Laurel Rosen
