Public Hearing to Consider lntroducing Ordinances Adopting the 2019
California Building Code, California Existing Building Code, Mechanical
Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Residential Code, Green Building

Community Development Director and Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED AGTION. Public hearing to consider introducing ordinances adopting
the 2019 California Building Code, California Existing
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, 2020 as the effective date for the 2019
California Building Code,2019 California Existing Building Code 2019 California Mechanical
Code, 2019 California Electrical Code, 2019 California Plumbing Code, 2019 California
Residential Code, 2019 California Fire Code and 2019 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. ¡f
codes with amendments are not adopted locally by January 1, 2020, 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 l, Division ll 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 Existing
Building Code, and California Energy 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 Existing Building Gode
. The provisions of Existing Building Code (CEBC) Tltle24 Part 10, was located
in Volume 2 of the 2016 California Building Code. The 2019 California Existing
Building code title 24 ParI 10, is now its own volume. The City has added a

Page 2 ol 2
California Existing Building Ordinance. This new Ordinance will provide
consistency with the City's other Building Code Ordinances. ltems such as
Administration, Division ll, Board of Appeals, is amended to have City Council
as the board of appeals for alternate materials and types of construction versus
a separate appointed board of appeals.
California Energy Gode changes
The 2019 California Energy Code, following changes
1) The introduction of photovoltaic requirements for single family dwellings in the prescriptive
standards. The California Energy Code uses two methods for achieving Energy
compliance: Prescriptive and Performance approach. Prescriptive approach is pre-
determined values by climate zones. ltems such as minimum wall, ceiling, floor
insulation values, type of windows lglazing, cooling and heating equipment, are specified
by the code. Performance approach uses State approved computer based programs that
allows increase of energy compliance in areas and a decrease in other areas of a
building to achieve energy compliance.
California Fire Gode Ghanges
The 2019 California Fire Code, following changes
1) Two chapters added. Chapter 12 Energy Systems, Chapter 39 Processing & Extraction
Facilities.
2) Section 2810 added to Chapter 28 to address the storage of pallets at Pallet
Manufacturing and Recycling Facilities.
Minimal impact is anticipated by the additions and minor revisions
We have tried to notify all affected parties by meeting with B|A/Chamber on October 24th,
publication in the Lodi News-Sentinel, as well as notices provided at the front counter.
lnformational 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 1,2020.
Staff's recommendation is to approve the 2019 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
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.

15.20.380 ChangesorModifications
tn 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 hígh 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') lmpacts
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 subjecteú tó flood potential and its levies are subject to failure from
seismic activity or high water.
I4
(2) lmpacts
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
(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) lmpacts
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 Mandatorv Dutv 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. Severabilitv. lf 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.
l5
Section 6. Effective Date and Publication. This ordinance shall take effect thi rty (30) days
after its adoption. ln lieu of publication of the full text of the ordinance within fifteen (15) days
after its passage, a summary of the ordinance may be published at least five (5) days prior to
and fifteen (15) days after adoption by the City Council, and a certified copy shall be posted in
the office of the City Clerk pursuant to Government Code section 36933(cX1).

15.20.380 ChangesorModifications
ln 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 ínches 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 1g 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) lmpacts
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
2
3
4
t4
per¡ods, 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) lmpacts
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
(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) lmpacts
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 Mandatorv Dutv 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 othenvise 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. Severabilitv. lf 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
15
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. Effective Date and Publication. ïhis ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days
after its adoption. ln lieu of publication of the full text of the ordinance within fifteen (15) days
after its passage, a summary of the ordinance may be published at least five (5) days prior to
and fifteen (15) days after adoption by the City Council, and a certified copy shall be posted in
the office of the City Clerk pursuant to Government Code section 36933(cX1).

15.20.380 ChangesorModifications
ln accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, the adoption of amendments more
restrictive than the requlrements contained in the provisions published in the California Building
standard code, are needed because of local conditions, as specified below:
(A) Climatic.
(1)
(2)
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 tñe
summer months can reach as high as 110 and City of Lodi averages 1g 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.
lmpacts
The generally dry, hot summer months create extreme fire conditions. Adding to
this situatÍon 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
t4
')
periods, it is common place for visibility to be near zeror 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 eventJ 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) lmpacts
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
(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) lmpacts
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 Mandatorv 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.
15
Section 4. Severabilitv. lf 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. Effective Date and Publication. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days
after its adoption. ln lieu of publication of the full text of the ordinance within fifteen (1S) days
after its passage, a summary of the ordinance may be published at least five (5) days prior io
and fifteen (15) days after adoption by the City Council, and a certified copy shail be-posted in
