Alternative Action(s): The City Council may make the following alternative motion(s): A) Do not approve the introduction of ordinances amending 2010 editions of the California Building and Safety Construction Codes and related ordinances; however, that would result in the State Codes becoming law by default without local amendments; or B) Continue the item and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Construction codes that regulate the health and safety of the structures in our city are published every 3 years to keep up with current design technology and construction materials. The California Building Standards Commission is charged with approving and publishing the State Codes under Title 24. The 2010 editions of the California Building, Green Building Standards, Residential, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical Codes were published on July 1, 2010. In accordance with Section 18941.5 of the State Health and Safety Code, the City is mandated to enforce the Codes starting on January 1, 2011. Official adoption of the Codes by reference allows the City of Huntington Beach to amend the Codes for administrative purposes and for special conditions and hazards that do not exist in all jurisdictions. The specific findings are also required to be adopted since the State requires that we justify that the amendments are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographic conditions. If the codes are not adopted, they will become law by default without amendments. The Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code and Solar Energy Code are not mandated by the state; however, new editions are proposed to be adopted to reflect changes in and to stay current with industry standards. Item 17. o Page 2 -870® REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-25 The proposed Huntington Beach amendments to the various codes are contained in the legislative drafts and are summarized below. 2010 California Building Code No significant amendments to this code. Changes are administrative in nature. 2010 California Residential Code This is a new code in California. Changes were made to the administrative provisions for consistency with the California Building Code. In addition the following technical amendments are proposed: • Section R301.1.3.2 —Amended to require a California licensed architect or engineer to prepare plans for all dwellings of wood frame construction more than one story in height or with basement located in Seismic Design Category Do, D1, D2, or E. This amendment is justified due to the city's proximity to a vast array of fault systems capable of producing major earthquakes. The amendment will require a licensed design professional to prepare plans for dwellings exceeding one story in height. • Section R506.1 —Amended to require minimum slab reinforcement This amendment is justified because the city is located in historical flood plain areas and is subject to high ground water levels and many areas of the city have expansive soil. Installation of minimum on-grade concrete slab reinforcement acts to control excessive cracking. • Section 901.1 - Amended Fire Protection System requirements to refer to HB Municipal Chapter 17.56 (The Fire Code) • Chapter 55 Methane Districts - Added to address construction on or near former oil field sites consistent with the existing requirements in the Building Code 2010 California Green Building Standards Code This is a new code in California. No amendments to this code are proposed. 2010 California Mechanical Code • Section 508.1 - Amended to not require commercial kitchen hoods for low temperature dishwashers in food establishments. This amendment clarifies that a kitchen exhaust hood is not needed when low temperature dishwashers do not create steam. 2010 California Electric Code No significant amendments to this code. Changes are administrative in nature. -871- Item 17. - Page 3 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 1 0/1 81201 0 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-25 2010 California Plumbing Code No significant amendments to this code. Changes are administrative in nature. 2009 Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code Amendments to this code incorporate provisions of the Swimming Pool Safety Act (state law) with respect to piping for suction outlets and barriers between dwelling and swimming pools. 2009 Uniform Solar Energy Code No significant amendments to this code. Changes are administrative in nature. Environmental Status: Not applicable Strategic Plan Goal: Maintain and Enhance Public Safety Attachment(s): P ' 0 0 1. Ordinance 3892 & Legislative Draft 2.
