Board
Brad Remp presented plaque to Mr Romo for his dedication and 8 years of service from
August 1999-June 2007.
B.. Introduction of Mr.. Jose Lopez to the Board of Appeals & Advisors
Member Lopez has been a resident of Chula Vista for 15 years and has been with the San
Diego Fire Department for many years He is involved in Traffic Safety Division and has
been on the Board of Directors with Otay Water District for 7 years. He comes from a Fire I
Code background He was also with the San Diego Convention Center's Fire Prevention
Department for 7 years The other members, and City Staff present were introduced
C. Adoption of the various 2007 Editions for the California Building Codes
Lou EI-Khazen and Justin Gipson presented information on the adoption of the 2007 Editions
for the California Building Codes. Mr. EI-Khazen started by stating that this is a process that
the we go through every 3 years He talked about the staff report, which provided a
background discussion of this adoption process He pointed out new chapter 15 06 which
deals with Administrative Provisions for technical codes: 2007 California Building Code, 2007
California Mechanical Code, 2007 California Plumbing Code, 2007 California Electrical Code,
2005 California Energy Code, and 2007 California Referenced Standards Code This
adoption cycle is different this year because City is adopting a completely new Building Code
and Fire Code. These new codes take effect January 1~', 2008. This means that any permit '
applications Planning and Building Department takes in, on and after this date, needs to
comply with these new codes He stated that new chapter 15 06 has provisions that we
currently enforce and the City is just consolidating them into one chapter Mr Remp
Board of Appeals & Advisors Page 2 October 8, 2007
Meeting Minutes
commented that we are proposing very few amendments to the basic California Codes Mr
Remp also said consolidating all of the Administrative sections into one area to make it more
adoptable to changes in the future The Public and City Staff will know that they only need to
go to one place to understand the Administrative provisions of the Code Mr EI-Khazen
lastly stated that City Staff will receive extensive training on these new Codes, and the City
acknowledges that it will take about 30 percent more time to review a project under these
new codes.
QuestionslComments from the Board on Item C:
? Member Turner asked, with the Board recommending the adoption, are they also indirectly
recommending some budget changes as well? And what is the impact of the Budget on
this? Mr Remp answered saying with the decrease in construction activity the Building
Department is experiencing, this will free up more City Staff to participate in training on these
new Codes. He said the department has not proposed modification to the Fee Schedule
because it was adopted fairly recently He also said the difficulty will be that construction
industry has not embraced the magnitude of this code change So as a result, the
construction industry hasn't had the necessary training on these new codes This will place
an additional burden on City Staff, as the industry transitions to the new codes
Member Turner expressed concerns about the "start-up" period for these new codes, as in
available resources? Mr. Remp said that our department will make sure that we have access
to enough technical documents and resource guides, and we have consistently been
expressing to the City Manager that we have been anticipating this change coming and have j
asked that they take this into consideration because we are not going to have the same I
efficiency as we have had in the past The department is hoping the City Manager and City
Council will reflect this when it comes time to make determinations on what areas get cut, and
what areas are allowed to retain their staffing levels
`r Member Buddingh commented that people who have not taken the time to get educated on
these new codes beforehand, such as developers, architects, and contractors would cause j
the problem, and these people could basically help City Staff, if they "help themselves'
• Presentation by Fire Marshall Justin Gipson: i
At this time, Mr Gipson made his presentation on the adoption of Chapter 15 36 FIRE II
CODE, on behalf of the Fire Department He stated that the Fire Department had started I
preparing and training for these new changes back in March 2007. He stated that the Fire
Code is mostly a "maintenance" Code. Mr Gipson also stated that another change is that in
the past, Fire Code used to be in articles. This new Fire Code is basically to provide a good
level of safety throughout the City, and will be a "culture shift" on how you can build a
building today, from "passive construction" to "active fire protection", which has a heave j
reliance on the use of sprinklers and fire alarms
4 CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTSIREPORTS AND MEMBERS COMMENT'S: ;
? Member Flach presented a page of comments and questions:
1 Under Attachment A, Administration 15 06 005, are we adopting appendices also?
And who determines? Mr EI-Khazen responded, yes, several appendices are being
adopted and the Building Official usually makes the recommendation on which
appendices to adopt.
2 Under 15 06.035, how is the need for an inspection determined? Mr Remp said that
the City has the Fire Department that conducts routine inspections and Code
Enforcement also receives complaints of building without a permit that triggers the
need for inspections These are ways we make these determinations. '
3 Under 15.06.045, does this Board have the authority to request an independent
technical study for a proposed material or method? Or does 15 06 050 override?
Mr Remp said yes, the City does have the authority The code gives us this ability.
4 Under 15.06 060, paragraph E, how are violations discovered? Is there a section
that covers occupancy requirements and should it be referenced? Mr EI-Khazen
said Code Enforcement discovers them Most of this work that gets discovered are
Building Without Permit violations Mr Remp said that the Fire Department also
Board of Appeals & Advisors Page 3 October 8, 2007
Meeting Minutes
performs inspections and discovers these and can make referrals to the Building
Department if needed Mr Remp stated that the Building Code is primarily about
building it correctly, and Fire Code is about maintaining it
5 Under 15.06.080, paragraph 1P, does 35 feet refer to grad level or from supporting
structure? Mr. Remp stated, from grade level.
6 Under 15.06 085, is a certified designer (ex: Interior Designer) acceptable rather than
an A or E? Mr Remp stated that State law defines the types of buildings that must
be designed by a licensed architect or engineer.
7 Under Attachment B, Administration 15 OS 070, inquired about a potential conflict
between the Building Code and the Fire Code. Mr Remp clarified that the provision
only existed in the Building Code
8 Under 15 OS 100, does the requirement to screen rooftop structures include single-
family residents? For example, cooling equipment, dish antennas, towers, etc? Mr
EI-Khazen said that yes this does apply to residents There are certain requirements
and permits for particular items, some require permits, and some do not Our
department can address these.
9 Under 15 OS 020 and 15 08.030, does this revision mean that there is no more Board
of Appeals? Mr. EI-Khazen said that these 2 chapters are addressing moving our I
Administrative Provisions; they have been moved to 15 06 070
10 Under Attachment G 15 300 15 of the Fire Code, will cost recovery include rescue
operations? For example, falling off a cliff, lockout assistance, etc? Mr Gipson
said there is no cost for false fire alarms or nuisance alarms, so no cost recovery is
done, only for "gross negligence" situations, where a person places other people in
harms way.
11 Under 15 08 055, will additional hydrants be added if an existing area does not meet
the hydrant spacing requirements? Mr Gipson said that Fire Department only does
this on a "reactionary basis" For the older neighborhoods, everything will be left the
same; far new development hydrants will be installed "as required'. (He gave the
example of the vacant lot on the corner of Anita St and Fifth Ave )
? Member Turner asked for a brief summary of the departments Plan Review Process Mr EI-
Khazen answered and described the process

Editions of the California Building Codes as amended. '

5 BUILDING OFFICIAL'S COMMENTSIREPORTS:
• Mr Remp told everyone about the "success story" with the Brentwood Mobile Home Park, in
relation to Fire Hydrants. When the Building Department went in there to do the first mobile
home park inspection, we realized they didn't have any on-site fire hydrants, only one at the
far entrance, stated by Mc Gipson It was an incredible struggle to get their attention to force
the park to install them They currently owe the City almost $300,000 in fines and penalties
for the amount of time and effort that was required to make them install these hydrants. Mr I
Gipson added that two weeks ago, Fire Department responded to a fire at this mobile home
park, and there was a hydrant within 50-feet of the space that was on fire, and this was one
of the sole reasons they were able to keep other spaces from burning down. There was no I
major damage beyond the original unit. Afterwards, the City received numerous phone calls i
from the residents of the park saying, "Thank you for doing this' He said that if this same fire
had occurred without those fire hydrants put in, we could have lost more units and lives in
that park
• Mr Remp also informed the Board that Abandoned Property Registration Program that this
Board recommended approval on, Council adopted it, and is effective October 8, 2007.
• Mr Remp also stated the modification to the Sign Ordinance (permit process) will be
discussed at Council's October 9, 2007 Meeting

Subject: Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance
the City of Chula Vista is currently not in compliance with the State Law - AB 939, which requires that
jurisdictionsreducetheamountofwastegoingtothelandfillsby50%orfacepotentialfinesofupto$10,000
per day IheCalifornialntegxatedWasteManagementBoard(CIWMB)administersthislaw. Chula Vista's
current diversion rate is at 48% and has been progressively declining for the last five years Based upon a
review of the Cit}~s recycling and solid waste programs and plans, theCIWMB strongly recommendedthat !i
Chula Vista implement a Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Program, particularly given the
amount of construction and demolition materials that are part of the waste stream in San Diego County.
Simplistically stated, the proposed ordinance will require that applicants for a demolition or construction

REVIEWED BY: ASSISIANI CIIY MANAGER

BACKGROUND Iii
This proposed Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance is one component of the
City of Chula Vista's AB 939 Integrated Waste Management Plan to divert material from the
landfill -converting waste to a resource. AB 939 requires cities and counties to divert 50% of the
waste going to landfills or potentially face fines of up to $10,000 per day. the City of Chula Vista
did not meet the landfill diversion goal for 2005. The California Integrated Waste Management
Board (CIWMB) strongly recommended that Chula Vista implement this ardmance in an attempt to
address the declining waste diversion rate particularly in light of the potential amount of new ~i
construction and redevelopment plarmed for the future
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that there is no possibility
that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment because it involves
implementation of a program to recycle construction and demolition materials that would
otherwise be disposed of in the landfill; therefore, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State
CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Ihus, no environmental review is
necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Ihat the City Council adopt the ordinance amending Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 8..25.

BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Board of Appeals and Advisory - ,January 14, 2008
Resource Conservation Commission -February 4, 2008
DISCUSSION
The CIWMB estimates that Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) make up 22% of the waste
stream statewide. the City of San Diego conducted a waste stream characterization study and
found that C&D materials make up between 35-45% of the Miramar Landfill waste sheam We
believe that approximately 40% of Chula Vista's waste stream is comprised of C&D materials.
Additionally, 25% of Chula Vista's waste stream is delivered to the Otay Landfill by the waste
generators directly, self-hauled.
Given this information, the CIWMB
strongly recommended that Chula Vista a ~ ~ ° w d

,jurisdictions to adapt and adopt in an 2006 156,746 48,197 204,943 24%
effort to keep reporting requirements
similar from jurisdiction to jurisdiction
within San Diego County„
Stakeholder Innut
During this process, the IAC held several meetings with local government representatives and
industry stakeholders including the Building Industry Association (BIA) and general contractor
associations. City staff solicited input from local contractors and affected city departments as well !
the proposed Chula Vista ordinance is a culmination of'stakeholder input and an adaptation of the
IAC model.
The proposed C&D ordinance establishes a C&D performance deposit program to provide an
incentive for applicants to reuse and recycle debris rather than landfilling it, Ihis is similar to
existing C&D diversion programs in the State such as those implemented by San ,Jose, Oakland,
San Mateo, and San Francisco
A summary of the proposed Chula Vista program is as follows:
Covered Projects
All applicants for covered projects must comply with the ordinance. No construction permit or '
demolition permit approval may be granted until the initial C&D Waste Management Report '
(WMR) form has been received and approved by the Waste Management Report Compliance
WORKING DRAFT 0/0/00, Item_
Page 3 of 5
Offcial (Environmental Services Division) and an appropriate performance deposit has been
received by the City, Covered projects include:
? Any project requiring a permit for demolition oz construction, which has a
project valuation of $20,000 or more,
? Housing subdivision construction or demolitions and / or any other sequenced
developments will be considered a "project" in its entirety and not a series of
individual projects.
All City construction and demolition projects shall be considered a covered project and will need
to comply with the program
Non-Covered Projects
A performance deposit and WMR will not be required for the following projects, but such
projects will be encouraged to divert at least 50% of all project-related construction and
demolition waste materials.,
? Work for which a building or demolition permit is not required.
? Roofing projects that do not include tear-off' of existing roof;
? Work for which only a plumbing, only an electrical or only a mechanical permit
is required.
? Seismic tie-down projects. 'i
? Projects less than 10,000 square feet, where no structural building modifications
axe required..
? Emergency demolition required to protect public health and safety..
? Individual single-family home renovations that are not part of a larger project,
such as a housing or commercial development, j
i
Waste Mana¢ement Renort
All applicants for covered projects must submit a Waste Management Report on a Waste
Management Report Form (Attachment #2) prior issuance of a construction or demolition
permit, illustrating how they plan to divert 90% of the inert debris (rock, dirt, concrete, asphalt,
tile) and 50% of the remaining debris..
? the WMR will be reviewed and must be approved prior to issuance of a
construction or demolition permit.
? the WMR will indicate the following:
i The type of project,
ii the total square footage of the project.
iii The estimated volume or weight of C&D debris that will be recycled or
diverted from landfilling,
iv. the maximum volume or weight of C&D debris that will be disposed of in
a landfill; and
v. The vendors or facilities that the applicant proposes to use to collect,
process, and/or receive the C&D debris.
Performance Deposit
A Performance Deposit will be paid when all permit fees and deposits axe paid.. the deposit will
be 3% of the project valuation or a maximum of $30,000. If the deposit amount is $50 or less it
will be waived. Valuation will be established using the Chula Vista Planning and Building
Department standard project valuation tables. Upon completion of the project, the deposit will
WORKING DRAF 1 0/0/00, Item_
Page 4 of 5
be refunded based upon the recycling goals being met, If only a portion of the goal has been
met, the deposit refund will be prorated accordingly,
Performance Deposit Refund
Within 30 days after demolition is completed (if a demolition permit only) ox 30 days after the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy ox at the time of issuing the last certificate of occupancy
for units within a phased project of any covered project, the applicant should submit
documentation that it has met the diversion requirements fox the project, The diversion
requirement will be 90% diversion of inert materials, rock, dirt, conceit, asphalt, tile, brick, etc.,
and 50% of the rest of the C&D debris generated, via reuse and recycling. The documentation
should include all of'the following,
1. Receipts from the vendor or facility that received each material, showing the actual
volume ox weight of that material„
2 A copy of the WMR form in its entirety.
3 Photographs and narrative documentation of the applicant's reuse activities: such as, i,
grinding up old concrete to use for pipe bed. I
Within 30 days after submitting the performance documentation to the WMR Compliance
Official, a confirmation will be made of the waste divested and deposit funds released.. A sliding
scale fox compliance provides a proportional forfeiture of the deposit, depending on what
percentage of materials axe or axe not reused, recycled/diverted. This table is included in the
WMR form,.
If the applicant fails to submit the documentation required within the 30 day time period then the ~I
forfeited performance deposit will be used by the City for waste reduction and recycling 1
activities.
There axe no administrative fees charged to process the Waste Management Report and '
performance deposit as these expenses will be covered under the AB 939 fee charged on all solid ~
waste service invoices. ~
Appeal Process '
The applicant may appeal the determination made by the WMR Compliance Official., Appeals Iii
shall be made to the City Manager or Designee., The appeal shall be in writing and filed with the
City Clerk within 10 business days of receipt of the WMR Compliance Official's decision. the
appeal shall be limited to the following issues: 1). The granting ox denial of an exemption; and
2}. the amount of security to be released. the decision of the City Manager ox Designee shall be I
final.
Diversion Exemptions
There is a provision for granting an exemption if due to unique circumstances it is infeasible to
meet the diversion requirements; example: asbestos piping, or asbestos ceiling tiles,. the WMR
Compliance Official will work with the applicant to establish a modified diversion requirement.
Implementation '
The Waste Management Report and performance deposit will not be a requirement until .July 1,
2008, the purpose in delaying the implementation date is two-fold. First staff will use the time
between adoption and the implementation date to conduct workshops and other forms of '
outreach to the construction industry and the community Staff will introduce the Waste '
WORKING DRAF 1 0/0/00, Item
Page 5 of 5
Management Report form; explain the reporting process and that an approved WMR must be
received by the City, prior to issuance of demolition and construction permits.
Second, there are several vendors throughout the County who will accept clean, separated loads
of construction materials for recycling and reuse (San Diego County Construction and
Demolition Recycling Guide Attachment #.3) However; there is only one mixed C&D debris
loads processing/recycling location currently, EDCO in Lemon Grove.. Allied Waste Services, is
in the permitting process to build a C&D processing/recycling facility at the Otay Landfill
Allied projects to have it completed and operational by late next summer/early fall. Ihis will
provide two, certified C&D processing/recycling facility options for mixed C&D debris with one
conveniently located adjacent to the City of Chula Vista, at the Otay Landfill..
Stal'Iin
The Environmental Services Division of the Public Works Department will administer the Waste
Management Report process, the Waste Management Report is to be submitted and approved by
Environmental Services Staff' or by City Manager's designee prior to permit issuance. Setting
this process up in advance of the application process minimizes any impacts to the permitting
process, Development Services counter staff will look for an "Approved WMR" to accompany
the respective permit application and process the performance deposit.
Summary
Given the large volume of C&D materials that are in the waste stream, implementing a C&D ~
debris recycling/diversion program will have a significant impact on Chula Vista's diversion
numbers. Additionally, these materials are fairly easy to recycle. The purpose of the C&D
performance deposit program will be to provide an incentive far applicants to reuse and recycle
these materials turning them into a resource and assisting the City of Chula Vista in meeting the
State mandate landfill diversion goal
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section
18704,2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision
FISCAL IMPACT '
Ihis ordinance will not impact the General Fund, C&D program administration activities will be
paid for through the AB 939 Fee that covers all activities related to the City of Chula Vista's
recycling and solid waste management activities.

Construction and Demolition Debris
Waste Management Report
(WMR)
The City of Chula Vista has a Mandatory Recycling Ordinance CVMC 8.25 Prior to submitting your application for a demolition or
building permit, you must have completed a Waste Management Report, approved by the Environmental Services Division, stating
how you will recycle at least 90% of inert waste and at a minimum, 50% of the remaining construction and demolition waste
generated. To assist in this effort, information is available on where to recycle construction debris from Allied Waste Services (619
421-9400), the County of San Diego (http//www.ilacsd.ora/recvcle/ - brochures), the City of San Diego
(http!/www sandiego qov/environmental-services/recvcling/cdrecvcling shtmq and the California Integrated Waste Management
