All inconsistencies between the Building Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Residential Code, Green Building Standards Code Fire Code and Existing Building Code as adopted by this Ordinance and Parts 2, 2.5 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations are changes, modifications, amendments, additions or deletions thereto authorized by California Health and Safety Code s and The changes and modifications to the California Building Code, California Electrical Code, California Plumbing Code, California Mechanical Code, California Residential Code, California Green Building Standards Code, Fire Code and Existing Building Code that have been enacted by this Ordinance are merely a continuation of similar changes and modifications made to earlier editions of such uniform codes, and all of such changes and modifications, whether previously enacted or enacted in this Ordinance, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic, and topographic conditions. In particular, the modifications to these codes are reasonably necessary because of the local climate which is characterized by hot dry summers, followed by strong Santa Ana winds and heavy winter rains which make structures particularly vulnerable to rapidly spreading, wind-driven fires and earth movement. Furthermore, the City is located near and over historic and active earthquake faults which require that special safety precautions be taken. Third, much of the City is located among steeply sloping, hilly areas which can create hazardous building conditions. Finally, the City s zoning ordinances and General Plan promote the preservation of natural shrubbery in addition to a great deal of landscaping. Canyon fires and other brush fires are a frequent and natural part of the Southern California ecosystem. Structures located in the City require additional protection against ignition from flying embers. 11. The City Council hereby finds that the modifications to the 2016 California Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Residential, Green Building Standards Codes, Fire and Existing Building as adopted by the County of Los Angeles and the City of Westlake Village, are reasonably necessary because of the local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions indicated in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The City Council hereby further finds that the modifications to the California Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Residential, Green Building Standards, Fire and Existing Building Codes in Titles 26, 27, 28, 29, , 32 and 33 of the Los Angeles County Code provisions are necessary to allow the uniform application of the codes by procedures suited to the size and nature of the City s staff and administrative agencies by means suited to the City s 21 New Business 1 - Attachment 1 21 of 66
