BACKGROUND: The City of Grand Terrace currently enforces the 2019 California Building Codes in their entirety. The City of Grand Terrace has always adopted a set of building standards known as the Uniform Building Code (UBC) which are now currently known as the California Building Code (CBC). Every three years the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) publishes new editions of the CBC with updates to the California Building Code as recommended by the International Code Council (ICC) and amended by the California Building Standards Commission. DISCUSSION: Staff requests that a public hearing take place with the Planning Commission to discuss adoption of the 2022 California Building Codes in their entirety and as amended by the City of Grand Terrace Code of Ordinances. The Building Division also recommends the adoption by reference of the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code as published by the International Code Council. The Property Maintenance Code will regulate and control the minimum requirements and standards for premise s, structures, equipment and facilities for light, ventilation, space, heating, sanitation, protection from the elements, a reasonable level of safety from fire and other hazards, and for a reasonable level of sanitary maintenance for all residential and n onresidential structures. The Building Division further recommend s the adoption by reference of the 1997 Uniform Code For The Abatement of Dangerous Buildings as published by the International Conference of Building Officials. This code will regulate and c ontrol buildings or structures which from any cause endanger the life, limb, health, morals, property, safety or welfare of the general public or their occupants. The City of Grand Terrace has certain local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions which require amendments to the 2022 California Building Codes (as applicable). In short, the local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions are as follows: the City is geographically located in the inland region of Southern California located in Climate Zone 10, prone to wind gusts of up to 95 MPH, Category C and in earthquake Seismic Zone D. In addition, there are sections of the city that are considered high flood areas and contain very high fire hazard severity zones. Due to the local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions noted above, it is in the best interest of the City to amend the existing codes, as provided herein, and adopt the 2022 California Building Codes along with an amendment to the Municipal Code of Ordinances. The Building Division recommends the following amendments (included as part of the Municipal Code changes) to the 2022 California Building Codes (as applicable) to C.1 Packet Pg. 10 include the requirement of fire sprinklers under the following categories: - All new residential and non-residential buildings regardless of total building area. - All new residential and non-residential buildings containing the following occupancies: A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5, B, E, F-1, F-2, H-1, H-2, H-3, H-4, H-5, I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, M, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, S-1, S-2, and L regardless of total building area. - All new residential and non-residential buildings containing the following occupancies: Group U, more specifically Agricultural buildings, Aircraft hangars that are accessory to a one-or two-family residence, Barns built under building type IV and V construction that exceed 200 square feet, Carports built under building type IV and V construction that exceed 200 square feet, Communication equipment structures, Grain silos accessory to a residential occupancy, Livestock shelters, Private garages that exceed 200 square feet, and Stables built under building type IV and V construction that exceed 200 square feet. - All new accessory buildings that serve as an accessory structure to a non - residential and residential building under type IV and V construction that exceed 200 square feet in total building area. - Existing residential and non-residential buildings undergoing through a remodel of at least 50% in total building area containing all occupancy types. The Building Division also recommends an amendment to the Municipal Code of ordinances to reinforce the life safety standards of the CBC as provided in the attached proposed ordinance. Specific language of the amendments to the Municipal Code for life safety are found in the attachments section of this staff agenda. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The adoption of the Proposed Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as a project that has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. PUBLIC NOTICE: Public notice of this meeting for participation and attendance of this hearing was provided online via the city’s website and published in the local newspaper, City News Group. ECONOMIC IMPACT: Adoption of the proposed code ordinances will significantly save residents and businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars in monetary loss caused by a fire including any associated indirect costs caused by such incident. C.1 Packet Pg. 11 SAFETY IMPACT: The proposed ordinances will significantly increase life safety and will save many lives by preventing fires in occupied buildings. RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the forgoing, Staff therefore recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution which recommends that the City Council adopt an Ordinance which adopts by reference the 2022 California Building Codes, the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, the 1997 Uniform Code For The Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, and, further, makes such changes to those codes (as applicable) due to local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions and finds the Ordinance exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3).

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor, State of CaliforniaMike Chrisman, Secretary for Resources,The Resources AgencyRuben Grijalva, Director,Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Government Code 51175-89 directs the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to identifyareas of very high fire hazard severity zones within Local Responsibility Areas (LRA). Mapping of the areas, referredto as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ), is based on data and models of, potential fuels over a 30-50year time horizon and their associated expected fire behavior, and expected burn probabilities to quantify the likelihoodand nature of vegetation fire exposure (including firebrands) to buildings. Details on the project and specific modelingmethodology can be found at http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/methods.htm. Local Responsibility Area VHFHSZmaps were initially developed in the mid-1990s and are now being updated based on improved science,mapping techniques, and data. In late 2005 to be effective in 2008, the California Building Commission adopted California Building Code Chapter 7Arequiring new buildings in VH FHSZs to use ignition resistant construction methods and materials. These new codesinclude provisions to improve the ignition resistance of buildings, especially from firebrands. The updated very high firehazard severity zones will be used by building officials for new building permits in LRA. The updated zones will also beused to identify property whose owners must comply with natural hazards disclosure requirements at time of propertysale and 100 foot defensible space clearance. It is likely that the fire hazard severity zones will be used for updates tothe safety element of general plans. This specific map is based on a geographic information system dataset that depicts final CAL FIRE recommendationsfor Very High FHSZs within the local jurisdiction. The process of finalizing these boundaries involved an extensive localreview process, the details of which are available at http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/btnet/ (click on "Continueas guest without logging in"). Local government has 120 days to designate, by ordinance, very high fire hazard severityzones within its jurisdiction after receiving the recommendation. Local government can add additional VHFHSZs.There is no requirement for local government to report their final action to CAL FIRE when the recommended zones areadopted. Consequently, users are directed to the appropriate local entity (county, city, fire department, or FireProtection District) to determine the status of the local fire hazard severity zone ordinance.
