15.08.010 Adoption of the California Building Code, Part 2, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.

A. There is adopted and incorporated by reference herein as the city building code for the purpose of prescribing regulations in the city of Solana Beach for the erection, construction, enlargement, alteration, repair, moving, removal, conversion, demolition, occupancy, equipment, use, height, area, and maintenance of buildings and structures, the 2010 California Building Code, Part 2, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, a portion of the 2010 California Building Standards Code, as defined in the 2010 California State Health and Safety Code, Section 18901 et seq., including those Appendix chapters not shown as deleted by this chapter. Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, all erection, construction, enlargement, alteration, repair, moving, removal, conversion, demolition, occupancy, equipment, use, height, area and maintenance of buildings and structures within the city of Solana Beach shall be in conformance with the 2010 California Building Code which is based on the International Building Code, 2009 Edition, and the adopted Appendix chapters, published by the California Building Standards Commission.

B. Findings. The city of Solana Beach has many large brush-covered hillsides. The city is subject to frequent Santa Ana conditions consisting of dry gusting winds, which create extreme fire dangers. The city council specifically finds that these geographic and topographical conditions necessitate greater fire protection than that provided by the State Building Code. Therefore, this chapter alters the 2010 California Building Code to require more fire-retardant roof coverings.

C. Deletions, revisions and additions to the 2010 California Building Code shall be as follows. (Ord. 428 § 5, 2010)

15.08.020 Chapter 1, Administration, Division II, deleted.
