NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City Of Newport Beach does hereby RESOLVE as follows: SECTION 1. The following changes and modifications to the 2010 Editions of the California Building Code and to the 2010 California Residential Code as recommended by the Building Official are hereby found to be necessary due to local climatic, geographic or topographic conditions: 1. Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 15.04.210 amended section 15.05.1.1 of the California Building Code to prohibit the use of wood roof cover within Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Applicable findings: a through d 2. Newport Beach Municipal Code Sections 15.05.050, 15.05.090 and 15.05.090, California Residential Code Table R301.2(1) was filled out and footnote (g) was amended to reference the flood insurance rate maps applicable to Newport Beach. Also, California Residential Code Sections 309.3, R313 and R322 were deleted and replaced by previously adopted Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 15.50 titled Flood Plain Management. Applicable findings: e Resolution No. 2010- Page 3 of 5 November , 2010 Reference to California Building Code 3. Municipal Code Section 15.05.140, California Residential Code Section R401.3 was deleted and replaced with the Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 15.10 Excavation and Grading Code. Applicable findings: f SECTION 2. FINDINGS: a. Many areas of Newport Beach have developments abutting wildland and canyons with significant growths of vegetation of a highly combustible nature, classified as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. b. The City of Newport Beach, especially the foothill areas, is geographically located in an area periodically subject to wind conditions of high velocity. Moreover, the topographical conditions of the foothill areas and canyons contained therein tend to accelerate the periodic high velocity winds by means of a venturi effect. The use of non -rated or special purpose roofing materials as roof coverings within the City of Newport Beach may create an inordinate fire hazard during periods of high velocity winds when fire may spread across buildings with roof coverings of non -rated combustible materials. C. Embers from chimneys without spark arresters within the City of Newport Beach, including the foothill areas, coupled with the climatic, topographic and geographic conditions described herein above, may permit the throwing of sparks, embers and cinders upon non -rated and special purpose roofing material roofs during periods of high velocity winds, thereby creating a fire hazard which in turn may spread throughout areas where the roofs of structures are covered with wood shakes and shingle. d. The City of Newport Beach is located in an area subject to a climatic condition of high winds. This environment is conducive to rapidly spreading fires. Control of such fires requires rapid response. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such a7 Resolution No. 2010- Page 4 of 5 November—, 2010 as fallen trees, street lights and utility poles will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene. e. The City of Newport Beach contains low lying coastal areas subject to flooding from sustained rain with high tide which hinders drainage to the bay. Certain other areas such as Balboa Island are subject to water surges from drainage through back bay. Other oceanfront areas are subject to flooding from storm - driven surf. West Newport Beach is subject to flooding from the Santa Ana River. The City of Newport Beach participates in the Federal Flood Insurance Program and has adopted a FEMA- required flood management ordinance with flood mitigation measures including construction requirements contained in Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 15.50. f. Newport Beach contains topography which includes a seismic hazard zone subject to liquefaction due to low lying coastal area with sand and high water table. It also includes hills with structures built on slopes or near slopes which have been classified as landslide hazard areas by the California Division of Mines and Geology. SECTION 3: A copy of this Resolution together with the Ordinances adopting the City Codes shall be filed with the California Building Standards Commission and the California Department of Housing and Community Development by the City Clerk of the City of Newport Beach as required by State law (Section 17958.7 H & S Code). SECTION 4: The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage of this Ordinance. The City Clerk shall cause the same to be published once in the official newspaper within fifteen (15) days after its adoption.

TO i� SUBJECT CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. 10 Date: November 9, 2010 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Building Department Faisal Jurdi, Deputy Building Official, 644 -3277, fjurdi @newportbeachca.gov Adoption of the 2010 California Building Codes ISSUE: Adoption of the 2010 California Building Codes with local amendments. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In accordance with State law, model codes published by the State Building Standards Commission in Title 24 are mandated to be enforced on January 1, 2011. The "State Building Codes" become effective on January 1st, even if no action is taken by the City. Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance, along with the resolution of required findings for local amendments. DISCUSSION: Building codes are developed and published in three -year cycles. Once they are published, the State introduces its amendments and publishes the "State Building Codes." Each local jurisdiction in turn may make only more restrictive modifications and amendments; provided express findings are made relating to local climatic, topographic and geographic conditions and said findings are filed with the California Building Standards Commission pursuant to the Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.7 and 18941.5(b). The State of California's current building code is the 2007 edition based on the 2006 model codes known as the IBC. The IBC was published by an organization known as the International Code Council (ICC). Other State codes, such as the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical codes, are published by other model code organizations such as the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The proposed amendments are comprised of our current code provisions that have been renumbered and /or relocated consistent with the new codes; deletion of provisions that became obsolete; editorial amendments to the State codes, and amendments jt.J Adoption of the 2010 California Building Codes November 9, 2010 Page 2 of 6 necessary to carry over existing provisions warranting continuance, such as the construction standards in the high fire hazard severity zone and fire sprinklers requirements. There are two new State codes included in this adoption cycle; the California Green Building Standards Code and the California Residential Code. The Green Building Standards Code applies to all new construction, and the California Residential Code applies to construction of single - family dwellings and duplexes, which has historically been part of the California Building Code. The State's Health and Safety Code (Section 17958) mandates that the California Building Standards Commission adopt and publish the California Building Standards Code (Title 24 California Code of Regulations) every three years. The 2010 edition of the California Code of Regulations Title 24, which incorporates the below listed model codes, becomes effective on January 1, 2011. If approved, this ordinance would amend Title 15 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code by repealing references to the prior editions of the construction codes. The list below identifies the model codes upon which the 2010 California Building Codes are based and proposed for adoption: California Building Standards Code 2010 California Building Code 2010 California Residential Code 2010 California Electrical Code 2010 California Mechanical Code 2010 California Plumbing Code 2010 California Green Building Standards Code (Cal Green) 2010 California Historical Building Code 2010 California Existing Building Code Reference Model Code 2009 International Building Code (ICC) 2009 International Residential Code (ICC) 2008 National Electrical Code (NFPA) 2009 Uniform Mechanical Code (IAPMO) 2009 Uniform Plumbing Code (IAPMO) State Title 24 State Title 24 State Title 24 In addition to the California codes, the 2009 International Property Maintenance Code (ICC); and the 2009 Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code (IAPMO); which are model administrative and technical codes, are also necessary and proposed for adoption. The 2009 International Property Maintenance Code is the updated edition of the currently adopted 2006 edition and contains minimum requirements and standards for existing premises for light, ventilation, space, heating, sanitation, protection from the elements, life safety, and for safe and sanitary maintenance. The 2009 Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code is the updated edition of the currently adopted 1997 edition. This code includes plumbing and sanitation requirements for pools, spas and hot tubs. 2) Adoption of the 2010 California Building Codes November 9, 2010 Page 3 of 6 Editorial changes are proposed to the Newport Beach Grading and Excavation Code to reference the new codes. Revisions are also proposed to the Flood Plain Management section of Chapter 15 of the Municipal Code, consistent with the FEMA model ordinance and necessary to adopt the 2009 flood insurance rate maps. In addition, a new Chapter 15.12 relating to Post - Disaster Safety Assessment placards and standards for repair of damaged structures is proposed in order to authorize city staff to inspect and assess the safety of structures after a disaster. Summary of Noteworthy Code Changes In addition to the new codes (the 2010 Residential Code, previously a part of the California Building Code; and the 2010 California Green Building Standards Code), the following is a summary of the more noteworthy local amendments proposed. A complete list of all proposed revisions is provided in attachment A. The findings contained within the proposed resolution provide additional justification for approval of the local amendments. Building Department staff participated in the ICC Orange Empire Chapter Code Adoption Committee, which made recommendations to Orange County jurisdictions regarding code amendments that should be considered for adoption. The goal of the Adoption Committee was to promote as much uniformity as practical throughout Orange County. Noteworthy Local Amendments • California Green Building Standards Code (New code) In addition to the State mandated measures of the Green Building Standards Code for residential and nonresidential structures, additional measures have been included from the appendix consistent with the recommendation of the City's Task Force on Green Development. They include: Residential Construction — Energy star designation for appliances — Kitchen faucet flow rate not to exceed 1.5 gal /min. — Dishwasher water use not to exceed 5.8 gal /cycle — Minimum MERV 8 air filter required for HVAC equipment Nonresidential Construction — Control storm water runoff quantity and quality — Energy star equipment and appliances if available in energy star label — Buildings with more than one elevator or more than two escalators to have energy saving controls for elevators and escalators. — Reduce water usage of commercial clothes washer by 10% below CEC standard — Set a water usage rate for commercial dishwasher 212— Adoption of the 2010 California Building Codes November 9, 2010 Page 4 of 6 • Administrative Code (Proposed amendment for convenience of the customer) The new State code authorizes permit extensions in 90 -day increments. Staff is proposing to allow up to two 180 -day extensions to be added to the first 180 -day plan check period. This will allow the applicant to avoid requesting extensions every three months, especially during this difficult construction time period. • Building Code 1. (Continuation of current City standards) Requires a fire sprinkler and fire alarm system in buildings with the highest occupied floor over 40 feet high. High -rise fire and life safety requirements are also established for buildings with the highest occupied floor above 55 feet. Continuation of the current City requirements is proposed due to the height limit for safe use of ladders to fight a fire and rescue the occupants. (Detailed findings are included in the Resolution.) 2. (Continuation of current City standards) Requires a fire sprinkler system in all occupancies for buildings other than one or two dwelling units and more than 5,000 square feet in area or more than two stories high; and requires a fire sprinkler system in an existing structure when the area of an addition and reconstruction exceeds 2,500 square feet. This is necessary because the sprinkler system controls the spread of fire and decreases damage, increases the amount of time for escape, and provides time for emergency fire resources to respond to completely extinguish the fire. (Detailed findings are included in the Resolution.) • California Residential Code The California Residential Code requires all new homes to have a fire sprinkler system. This is now consistent with the City of Newport Beach's prior local amendment to the 2007 California Building Code which required fire sprinklers in new single - family homes. 1. Staff proposes to amend the California Residential Code to require adding a fire sprinkler system when an addition and reconstruction to an existing home exceeds 2,000 square feet. Current City requirements specify that a fire sprinkler system must be installed in an existing home when an addition exceeds 2,500 square feet and the total area of the home exceeds 5,000 square feet. The proposed requirement is necessary for life safety protection. See attachment B for further supporting documentation from the Fire Marshall. (Detailed findings are included in the Resolution.) 2. (New amendment — allows additional options for residents) Allows fire retardant wood roof covering as part of a Class A assembly for new 7 _? Adoption of the 2010 California Building Codes November 9, 2010 Page 5 of 6 construction and reroof other than in a special fire hazard zone. This amendment provides expanded options for homeowners since the City of Newport Beach amended the 2007 California Building Code to prohibit wood roof covering in all areas of the city. (Detailed findings are included in the Resolution.) • Municipal Code 1. (New chapter) Municipal Code Chapter 15.12 Post - Disaster Safety Assessment Placards and Standard for Repair of Damaged Structures has been added. Adoption of guidelines for posting buildings after a disaster is consistent with State Standard for Post Disaster Safety Assessment. 2. (Amended chapter) Municipal Code Chapter 15.50 Floodplain Management. Chapter 15.50 is proposed to be revised to be consistent with the FEMA model ordinance and to adopt FEMA's 2009 Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Building Department staff is recommending that changes and modifications be made to the codes and advises that certain changes and modifications to the 2010 editions of the California Building Code and California Residential Code are reasonably necessary due to local conditions in the City of Newport Beach; are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property; are of an administrative or procedural nature, or address subjects that are not covered by the codes. FUNDING IMPACTS: Verifying compliance with the new Green Building Code requires additional plan check and inspection. This action will not require any budget change or amendment at this time. Staff will make every effort to verify compliance with current resources. ENVIROMENTAL REVIEW: The proposal is not a "project" under CEQA in that it has no possibility of creating a substantial impact upon the environment. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice has been given consistent with the Brown Act and no further notice is necessary. RECOMMENDATION: Introduce the ordinance including proposed local amendments, conduct a public hearing and pass to second reading on November 23, 2010; and adopt the resolution of findings on November 23, 2010.

DINGS: a. The ity o#Vewport Beach is located in an area subject to a climatic condition of Pgh, s. This environment is conducive to rapidly spreading fires. Control of ,F-,"fires requires rapid response. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such fallen trees, street lights and utility poles, and the requirement to climb 75 ft. vertically up flights of stairs will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene. Additionally the amount of wind force at 60 ft. above the ground makes use of aerial type fire fighting apparatus above this height puts rescue personnel at increased risk of injury. P�6 Resolution No. 2010 - Page 7 of 10 November—, 2010 b. The City of Newport Beach is located in a seismically active area. The viability of the public water system would be questionable at best after a major seismic event. This would leave tall buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires due to a lack of available water and an inability to pump sufficient quantities of available water to floors above the 40 ft. level. A severe seismic event has the f� tia�to negatively impact any rescue or fire suppression activities becauseisq ly to create obstacles similar to those indicated under the high wi above. With the probability of strong aftershocks there exists, a d to provide increased protection for anyone on upper floors. C. Due to the geographic conditions of widespread cfe lJ ment separated by waterways and the street congestion caused b . loc .. i ography, and due to the seismic activity and the expected infrastr damage inherent in a seismic hazard zone, it is prudent to rely on auto i fire sprinkler systems to mitigate extended Fire Department respo e e and keep fires manageable with reduced fire flow (water) requir egiven structure. d. Many areas of Newport Beah a significant growths of vegetation of a highly combustible nature. �' e. The City of Newp ff especially the foothill areas, is geographically located in an a periodically subject to wind conditions of high velocity. Moreover,t graphical conditions of the foothill areas and canyons containe ;p tend to accelerate the periodic high velocity winds by means of a ve$ uri of ct. f. CI ', of Newport Beach, especially the foothill areas, is located within an area b' ct to high temperatures, in conjunction with high Santa Ana winds. g. he use of non -rated or special purpose roofing materials as roof coverings within the City of Newport Beach may create an inordinate fire hazard during periods of high velocity winds when fire may spread across buildings with roof coverings of non -rated combustible materials. Resolution No. 2010- Page 8 of 10 November _,2010 h. Embers from chimneys without spark arresters within the City of Newport Beach, including the foothill areas, coupled with the climatic, topographic and geographic conditions described herein above, may permit the throwing of sparks, embers and cinders upon non -rated and special purpose roofing material roofs during periods of high velocity winds, thereby creating a fire hazard which in turn m- r d throughout areas where the roofs of structures are covered with u rest wood shakes and shingle. i.

The City of Newport Beach is located in a seismically active area. There are earthquake faults that run along both the northeastern and southwestern boundaries of Orange County. The Newport- Inglewood Fault Zone (NIFZ) which Ir' Resolution No. 2010 - Page 9 of 10 November—, 2010 runs through Orange county was the source of the destructive 1933 Long Beach earthquake (6.3 magnitude, hypocenter off Newport Beach coast), which took 120 lives, with areas damaged from Laguna Beach to Marina del Rey and inland to Whittier, and poses one of the greatest hazards to lives and property in the nation.
