AGENDA TITLE: Conduct Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of the 2013 California
Building Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code,
Residential Code, Green Building Standard Code, Fire Code
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director and Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct public hearing to consider adoption of the 2013
California Building Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical
Code, Plumbing Code, Residential Code, Green Building
Standard Code, Fire Code
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 18938, the
California Building Standards Commission has selected
January 1, 2014 as the effective date for the 2013
California Building Code, 2013 California Mechanical Code, 2013 California Electrical Code,
2013 California Plumbing Code, 2013 California Residential Code, 2013 California Fire Code
and 2013 California Green Building Standard Code.
Every three years, Building/Construction and Fire Codes are amended by the -State to include
provisions of the most recent version. The State of California Building Standards Commission
adopts new State standards, which cities and 'counties are therefore mandated to adopt. If
codes with amendments are not adopted locally by January 1, 2014, then cities are required to
follow State codes only. The need for the new ordinances is to adopt specific Appendixes
and/or Administration provisions not adopted by the State. An example of this is:
Administration Chapter I, Division 11 has been amended to have the City
Council sit as the board of appeals for alternate materials and types of
construction versus a separate appointed board of appeals; and
Appendix J will be adopted to assist staff and design professionals with clear
direction for construction design guidelines for grading, excavation and
earthwork.
The major changes in this code cycle are in the California Building Code, California Plumbing
Code and California Green Building Standard Code. These changes will have some benefits
and restrictions compared to the existing Codes. Some of the changes in the building codes are
as follows:
California Building Code
1) The access standards proposed reconcile over 2,500 items where the existing California
standards differ from the federal standards set forth in Titles II and III of the Americans
with Disabilities Act 2010 ADA Standards. These modifications to the Building Code
were required because the federal requirements of the 2010 ADAS explicitly preempt
state standards after March 15, 2012, and under California law, the DSA must propose

accessibility standards at least as stringent as the federal requirements under the ADA.
These include modifications to standards applicable to designated aisle seats,
accessible water closets, toilet tissue dispensers, accessible drinking fountains,
proportion of characters for visual and tactile signs, mounting locations and heights for
signs, as well as a specific limited exception to items constructed in compliance with
previous codes. The standards that the DSA adopted apply to a broad category of
buildings, including publicly funded buildings, structures, sidewalks, curbs and related
facilities; privately funded public accommodations and commercial facilities; and public
housing and private housing available for public use.
2) Work exempt from building permit. Section 105.2 # 2 does not require a building permit
for a fence up to 7 feet. Existing code was 6 feet maximum before requiring a building
permit
California Plumbing Code changes
1) Extensive changes have also been made to the Plumbing Code (California Code of
Regulations, Title 24, Part 5), which is based on the 2012 Uniform Plumbing Code
(published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials). CBSC
adopted extensive revisions to the standards applicable to alternate water sources for
non -potable applications, e.g., gray water Chapter 16 and the regulations that apply to
the installation, construction, alteration, and repair of non -potable rainwater catchments
systems Chapter 17.
2) The CPC also revised Table 422.1 Minimum Plumbing Facilities; along with Section
422.2 separate toilet facilities exception (3) which will allow only one toilet facility for a
business and mercantile if the total occupant load is less then 50 people. The existing
code exception was for a total floor area of 1500 square feet or smaller.
The Green Building Code changes
Residential additions and alterations:
Where Additions or alteration of an existing residential building that increases the building's
conditioned area, volume, or size, the residence shall replace noncompliant plumbing
fixtures with water -conserving plumbing fixtures per Civil Code Section 1101. 1, et seq
Nonresidential additions and alterations
Any addition nonresidential of 1,000 square feet or greater and/or building alteration with a
permit valuation of $200,000 or above are required to meet applicable section of Chapter 5
Nonresidential Mandatory Measures. }
California Fire Code Changes
Addition to Section 605 — 605.11 Solar photovoltaic power systems. This was added to the code
and closely reflects the standard for photovoltaic installations which was distributed by the State
Fire Marshal in 2008.
1) Appendix K — Temporary Haunted Houses, Ghost Walks and Similar Amusement Uses.
This gives the code enforcer an easier reference guide for these special events.
2) Addition of Section 1103.9 now includes the State requirements for carbon monoxide
alarms in Group "I" (Institutional) or "R" (Residential) occupancies.

Page 3 of 3
3) 90 percent of the chapters have been renumbered. There are cross references available
in the code book. Apparently, this was done to allow for the code contents to grow and
mature.
4) Adding to the municipal code; should come out in the 2016 code. Sky Lanterns.. No
person shall release or cause to be released an untethered sky lantern.
We have tried to notify all affected parties by meeting with BIA/Chamber on October 10th,
publication in the Lodi News -Sentinel, as well as notices provided at the front counter.
Informational handouts are currently being revised to reflect the new code requirements. These
handouts will be available at the Building & Safety kiosk and on the City web page on or before
January 1, 2014.
Staff's recommendation is to approve the 2013 codes as amended. The Ordinances have been
presented in highlight format to more easily identify the changes to. aid in review.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.

15.20.380 Changes or Modifications
In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, the adoption of
amendments more restrictive than the requirements contained in the provisions
published in the California Building Standard Code, are needed because of local
conditions, as specified below:
(A) Climatic
(1) Conditions
Precipitation averages 18 inches per year and can reach as high as 35 inches per year.
Virtually all of the rain occurs during the months of October through April. The remaining
months receive little or no rain. Temperatures during the summer months can reach as
high as 110 and City of Lodi averages 19 days over 100 each year. Relative humidity
during these summer months is very low. Lodi averages 34 days of dense fog per year,
and has had as many as 64 foggy days.
(2) Impacts
The generally dry, hot summer months create extreme fire conditions. Adding to this
situation is the dryness and combustibility of many structures during the summer,
especially true of structures with wood siding and roofs constructed of wood shakes and
shingles. The cyclical uncertainty that allow weather events can cause rapid melting of
the snow pack, which causes flood potential in areas surrounding the Mokelumne River.
The foggy conditions can inhibit the dispatch and timeliness of emergency equipment
reaching the site of a fire. During foggy periods, it is common place for visibility to be
near zero, which results in emergency equipment having to decrease their speed to less
than 25 miles per hour.
(B) Geographic
(1) Conditions
The City of Lodi is subject to ground tremors from seismic events as the County is in
seismic Category D. The Mokelumne River, which borders the northern city limits, is
subjected to flood potential and its levies are subject to failure from seismic activity or
high water.
(2) Impacts
The geologic conditions in San Joaquin County in general, and the City of Lodi, in
particular, have the potential of restricting access to structures, especially in remote or
isolated areas. A moderate earthquake or extended periods of rain can impact local
access roads.
(C) Topographic
15
(1) Conditions
The City of Lodi consists mainly of the San Joaquin Valley floor. The valley floor is
typically flat land area bisected by intermittent and year round stream and river systems.
Much of the valley floor is irrigated agriculture. Low land areas protected by a complex
and extensive levee system characterize the Delta area. Union Pacific Railroad Tracks
bisect the eastern and western portions of Lodi as well as Highway 99 creating traffic
congestion and emergency response delays.
(2) Impacts
The valley floor is frequently subject to both general and localized flooding. Because the
area is so flat and low, it is not unusual for local drainage systems to be inadequate
during heavy rain periods. This condition can isolate areas where roads are flooded and
thereby block access. With the OSHA "two -in two -out" rule requiring two fire fighters
ready to make attack only when two others are present, the potential delay in east -west
response increases the risk to firefighter and the public.
While it is clearly understood that the adoption of such amendments may not prevent the
incidence of fire, the implementation of these various amendments to the code attempt
to reduce the severity and potential loss of life, property, and protection of the
environment.
Section 2. No Mandatory Duty of Care. This ordinance is not intended to and shall
not be construed or given effect in a manner which imposes upon the City, or any officer
or employee thereof, a mandatory duty of care towards persons or property within the
City or outside of the City so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages, except as
otherwise imposed by law.
Section 3. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby
repealed insofar as such conflict may exist.
Section 4. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof
to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other
provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid
provision or application. To this end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable. The
City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of
the invalidity of any particular portion thereof.
Section 5. That nothing in this ordinance or in the California Fire Code hereby
adopted shall be construed to affect any suit or proceeding impending in any court, or
any rights acquired, or liability incurred, or cause or causes of action acquired or
existing, under any act or ordinance hereby repealed as cited in Section 4 of this
ordinance; nor shall any just or legal right or remedy of any character be lost, impaired or
affected by this ordinance.
Section 6. That the City Clerk is hereby ordered and directed to cause this
ordinance to be published. This ordinance shall be published one time in "Lodi News
Sentinel," a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City of Lodi.
16
Section 7. That this ordinance and the rules, regulations, provisions, requirements,
orders, and matters established and adopted hereby shall take effect January 1, 2014-4,
a date which is at least 30 days after passage of this ordinance.
Approved this day of November, 2013
