4/STHS VOTE: YES � NO �
5UMMARY
The Califomia Building Standards Commission has mandated that jurisdictions «�ithin the State
start enforcing the 2013 Editions of the California building codes on January 1, 2014. The adoption
of California building codes is a routine action undertaken by the Ciry in response to State adopted
building codes. This action allo�vs the City to incorporate appropriate local amendments into the
enforcement program.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has revie��ed the proposed activity for compliance with
the Califomia Environmenta] Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity falls
�vithin the Class 8 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Califomia Code of Regulations Title 14;
Chapter 3, Article 19 (the "State CEQA Guidelines") section 15308 and therefore is exempt from
environmental review; and not��ithstanding the Class 8 Categorical Exemption, the Director of
Development Services has further determined that there is also no possibility that the activity
may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of
the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is eaempt from the provisions of CEQA. Thus; no
em�ironmental revie��� is required.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council place the ordinances of the various 2013 Editions of the Califomia building
codes on first reading.
BOARDS/COD'IMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Boazd of Appeals and Advisors at their Monday, October 21, 2013 meeting unanimously
recommended adoption of the various 2013 Editions of the California building codes.
DISCUSSION
As mandated by the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC), jurisdictions �vithin the
State shall begin enforcin� the 2013 Editions of the Califomia building codes on January 1, 2014.
E��ery three yeazs, the State adopts and amends the newest model codes published by the vazious
independent code-developing bodies. New State building codes take effect one-hundred and
eighty (180) days afrer they are published to allow local jurisdictions time to adopt local
amendments to the State building codes before they take effect. Local amendments cannot be
less restrictive than the State building codes and must be based on findings that the amendments
13-2
Item No.: �3
�4eeting Date: 11/19/2013
Page 3 of 6
aze necessary because of local climatic; geoloeical or topographical conditions. Local
amendments are not effecti��e until the amendments have been filed «�ith the CBSC.
The majorin� of the proposed local amendments currenth� exist in our Municipal Code; as
amendments to the current buildins codes adopted b}� the Cin� and aze being proposed for re-
adoption as the Ciri� adopts the 2013 codes. The 20li Califomia codes aze updated editions to
tbe current codes that aze enforced locallv and throuehout the state and therefore it should not be
difficult for staff and the industry to incorporate into their current practices.
The follo«�ng aze brief discussions on the various ordinances adoptine the 2013 buildine codes:
Proposed Ordinance "A" —Administrati�e Provisions for the Technical Codes
This ordinance proposes minor cleanup amendments to A4unicipal Code Chapter 1�.06;
Admuustrative Pro��isions for the Technical Codes. removine a reference to a section that was
repealed in 2010 �r•hen the current building codes ���ere adopted and replacine it nith the correct
reference. In addition; currently small detached patio covers that are located at least six feet
from anti� buildine or structure on the same propem� are exempt from a buildine permit. The
ordinance proposes deleting the condition of six foot separation from buildines or structures so
that small detached patio covers that aze less than sis feet from the main buildine can be exempt
from a building permit; and adding a condition for two or more patio co��ers to be at least six feet
apart from each other to be considered separate patio covers to qualify for the exemption.
Proposed Ordinance "B" —20li Califomia Buildine Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2013 Califomia Building Code and proposes the re-adoption
of existine local amendments to the current Building Code adopted by the City.
Pr000sed Ordinance "C' — 2013 California Residential Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2013 Califomia Residential Code. Staff is not proposine any
local amendments to the code. �
Pronosed Ordinance "D" — 20li California Referenced Standazds Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 20li Califomia Referenced Standards Code. Staff is not
proposing any locai amendments to the code.
Proposed Ordinance "E" — 2013 California Green Buildine Standards Code
Staff is proposine the adoption of the 20li Califomia Green Building Standards Code (2013
CGBSC) and readopt only one of the current local amendments. �'��hen the City adopted the
cunent code back in 2010, the code applied only to new buildines and the Citti� amended the code
to espand the scope to include additions and alterations to existina buildings. The 2013 CGBSC
addresses additions and alterations to esistine buildines, and therefore, there is no need to cam�
for�i=ard the amendments that aze related to additions and alterations. In addition and pursuant to
SB 407 (2009), effecti��e Januar}� 1; 2014; before the City can sien-off on a buildin2 permit for
an alteration or impro��ement to residential and non-residential real propert�� that �;�as built and
a��ailable for use on or before Januar�� 1; 1994, plumbinQ fixtures not meetine certain ��ater
consemation standards must be replaced b}� the property o��mer ���ith ���ater-conserving fixtures.

Furthermore, the City recently amended the current code by adopting mandatory cool roof
regulations. Pursuant to California law, local amendments expire when current codes are no
longer in effect. In order to readopt the mandatory cool roof regulations, the local adoption
process must meet the requirements and follow the process established by Section 10-106 of the
CA Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 1; Locally Adopted Energy Standards (Section 10-106).
Even though staff is not proposing amending the Califomia Energy Code to require cool roofs, it
is the California Energy Commission's (CEC) opinion that because cool roofing is one of the
options available to builders under the performance method of compliance with the Energy Code
and it pla}�s a role in the energy efficiency of buildings, the City's continued mandating of cool
roofs will need to go through the process outlined in Section 10-106. The process is similar to the
process the City had to follo«���hen it adopted increased energy efficiency standazds. It invoh�es
a cost-effectiveness analysis, a City Council determination that the proposed requirements aze
cost-effective, and submittal of the proposed requirements to the CEC after the ordinance's first
reading by City Council. Per Section 10-106; before local energ}� efficiency standazds can take
effect, the CEC must mal:e the finding "that the standards will require buildings to be desiened
to consume no more enere}�than permitted by Part 6 [Califomia Energy Code]." The application
to the CEC must include 1) the proposed ordinance (after a public hearing and first reading), 2) a
study/analysis showing ho��� the City determined energy savings, 3) a statement that the
standazds will require buildings to be designed to consume no more energy than permitted by the
California Energy Code, and 4) the basis of the City's determination that the standards aze cost
effective. The CEC revie�v can take up to three months.
Staff and SDG&E initiated discussions with an energy consultant to start the process of
developing a cost-effectiveness analysis that is required for proposing local cool roof standards
and/or increased ener�y efficiency standards (above 2013 Energy Code) and were informed that
the sofrti�are required to perform the analysis just recently become available and is going through
the CEC certification process. The consultant stated that the industry still needs to evaluate and
become familiar H�ith the soft���are and the new energy code before they can perform the required
analysis. It will be several months before such an analysis can be made available. Staff will
continue to follow up N�ith the consultant on the required study and wil] bring fornazd
recommendations to Council based on the results of the stud}�.
Pr000sed Ordinance "F"—2013 Califomia Mechanical Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2013 California Mechanical Code. Staff is not proposing any
local amendments to the code.
Proqosed Ordinance "G"—2013 California Electrical Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2013 California Electrical Code and proposes the re-adoption
of existing local amendments to the current Electrical Code adopted by the City.
Proposed Ordinance "H"—20li Califomia Ener�v Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2013 California Energy Code. Current locally adopted
increased energy efficiency standards will eapue when the current energy code espires on
January 1, 2014 and similaz to locally adopted cool roof standards, in order to readopt increased
energy efficiency standards, the local adoption process must meet the requirements and follow
the process established by Section ]0-]06 of the CA Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 1;

Locall� Adopted Ener�� Standazds (Section ]0-106). The specifics of the process and
requirements «=ere outlined abo��e under "Proposed Ordinance ��E" — 20li California Green
Buildine Standards Code."
Similaz to localh adopting mandatorv cooi roof standazds, and based on discussions ��ith an
ener�� consultant, it ���ill be se��eral months before a cost-effecti�eness anal��sis can be made
available to staff. Staff���ill continue to follo��� up «ith the consultant on the requued stud}� and
�;�ill brins fonvard recommendations to Council based on the results of the studv.
Based on a CEC presentation on the new code, the 20li Energ} Code is about 2�% above the
current base code for single famil��. 14% for multi-famil} and 30% for non-residential.
Pronosed Ordinance "I" —20li Califomia Plumbine Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2013 Califomia Plumbing Code and proposes the re-adoption
of existine local amendments to the current Plumbing Code adopted b}� the Cit�•.
Proposed Ordinance "J"—2013 Califomia Fire Code
The proposed ordinance adopts the 2013 California Fire Code and proposes the re-adoption of
etistine local amendments to the current Fire Code adopted by the Ciri-. Previous California
State Fire A4arshal Photovoltaic Guidelines have been repealed from the Ordinance, as the
requuements are no"� set forth in the 2013 basic code lanauaee. Additionally, t���o ne���
amendments ha��e been set forth therein. The first ne�v amendment requires electronic maps be
pro�ided to the Fire Deparunent as part of the pemut process. This provision will create a
si�nificant leeel of efficacy for the Department`s mapping and buildine pre-plannin� proeram;
«hereas. the electronic maps ���ill become the foundation for the response maps used b}� the
Department. The second ne��� amendment memorializes the minimum meter size for National
Fire Protection Association 13-D fire spriril:ler svstems�nsuring that ���ater volume is adequate
to support the life safet�� s��stem.
DECISION A'IAKER CONFLICT
Staff has determined that the recommendations requiring Council action aze not site specific and
consequentlti� the �00 foot rule found in Califomia Code of Resulations Section 1870�.2(a)(1) is
not applicable to this decision.
CtiRRENT 1'EAR FISCAL IAIPACT
There are no increases in fees proposed in this adoption. The cost of new code bools and related
training is included in the current ��eaz's budget. Building permit fees ma}� need to be adjusted to
reco�er the cost of an}� additional staff time associated ���th plan re��ie�v and inspection. Any
additional stafftime n�ill be accounted for in updates to building permit fees.
OIVGOL\'G FISCAL IA�IPACT
No onsoina fiscal unpact. Any additional building pemut re�ie«° and inspection time associated
��ith unplementins these ordinances ���ill be funded through updated building permit fees.

adding section 15.24.065 to Chapter 15.24 is necessary due to local climatic conditions. As a
result of high summer ambient temperatures and periods of heat waves, average load demand and
peak load demand of energy used in Chu]a Vista is an important factor concerning public safety
and adverse economic impacts of power outages or power reductions. Facilitating the installation
of Photovoltaic systems will have local and regional benefits in the reduction of total and peak
energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

SECTION II FIi�iDII�TGS AND DECLARATIO\ -
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista specifically and expressly finds and declares that
adding section 15.28.015 to Chapter 15.28 is necessary due to local climatic conditions. As a
result of high summer ambient temperatures and periods of heat waves; average load demand
and peak load demand of energy used in Chula Vista is an important factor concerning public
safety and adverse economic unpacts of power outages or power reductions. Facilitating the
installation of solaz water heatin� systems will have local and regional benefits in the reduction
of total and peak energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
The City Council specifically and expressly finds and declazes that adding section 15.25.020 to
Chapter 15.28 is necessary due to locai climatic conditions. As a result of prolonged droughts
eaacerbated by climate change, it is anticipated that water supplies. from imported sources are
reduced; and furthermore, as a resuit of populadon and economic growth, demand for water is
expected to increase. These impacts could limit imported ��ater availability, lead to tugher
demand for local water sources and increase utility costs. Requiring single-source graywater
stub-out in ne�residential development facilitates the use of graywater for inigation which in
tum helps address these N�ater-related climate change impacts.
SECTION III EFFECTIVE DATE
This ordinance will take effect and be in force thirty days after final passage but not before
7anuary 1, 2014.
