RESPECT TO LOCAL CONDITIONS WITHIN THE CITY

WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958 provides that
the City of Tustin ("City") shall adopt Ordinances and regulations
imposing the same or modified or changed requirements as are con-
tained in the regulations adopted by the State pursuant to Health
and Safety Code Section 17922; and
WHEREAS, the State of California is mandated by Health and
Safety Code Section 17922 to impose the same requirements as are
contained in the most recent edition of the Uniform Housing Code of
the International Conference of Building Officials, the Uniform
Plumbing Code of the International Association of Plumbing and
Mechanical Officials, the Uniform Mechanical Code of the Inter-
national Conference of Building Officials, the International Asso-
ciation of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, and the National
Electrical Code of the National Fire Protection Association (here-
inafter referred to collectively as "Codes"; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 authorizes
the City to make such changes or modifications to the Codes as the
City determines are reasonably necessary because of local climatic,
geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires
that the City Council, before making any modifications or changes

WHEREAS, the Building Official and Director of Community
Development have recommended that changes and modifications be made
to the Codes and have advised that certain said changes and modifi-
cations to the Uniform Building Code, 1985 Edition and the Uniform
Plumbing Code, 1985 Edition and National Electrical Code, 1987
Edition, are reasonably necessary due to local conditions in the
City of Tustin and have further advised that the remainder of said
changes and modifications are of an administrative or procedural
nature, or concern themselves with subjects not covered by the
Codes or are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property
within the City of Tustin.

City of Tustin as follows:

Section 1 The following changes and modifications to
the 1985 Edition of the Uniform Building Code as recommended by the
Building Official and Director of Community Development are hereby
found to be reasonably necessary due to the following local condi-
tions for housing.
A, Section 3202 (B) has been amended to prohibit the use
of untreated non-fire retardant wood materials for roofing due to:
I ·
Prevailing 'Santa Ana' high winds occurring in the
local region during a substantial part of the year
which contribute to fire spread.
·
Untreated wood roofs, cause or contribute to the
serious fire hazard and to the rapid spread of fires
when such fires are accompanied by high winds. Pieces
of burning wooden roofs become flying brands and are
carried by the wind to other locations and thereby
spread fire rapidly.
Section 2 The following changes and modifications to
the 1985 Edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code as recommended by the
Building Official and Director of Community Development are hereby
found to be reasonably necessary due to the following local condi-
tions for housing.
A. Section 315 (g) has been added to state that the type
of soil prevalent in the City of Tustin is extraordinarily high in
sulfur and acid content. That extra precaution and protection is
required for the protection of steel piping and fittings buried in
the ground.
B. Section 1004 has been amended to prohibit the use of
lead and asbestos cement materials in all potable water supply
systems.
C. Article 110-5 of the 1987 Edition of the National
Electrical Code is amended by making copper wire the preferred
material used for wiring No. 6 and smaller.
i ·
This amendment is considered necessary due to the fact
that improper installation creates a potential fire
hazard and aluminum wire size No. 6 and smaller re-
quires greater precision and care for proper installa-
tion. Workmanship problems have been experienced in
the local area, which makes this provision necessary.
The regulation of aluminum wire is reasonably necessary
to safeguard life and property within the City of
Tustin.
Section 3 Additional amendments have been made to the
Uniform Building Code, 1985 Edition, the Uniform Plumbing Code,
1985 Edition, Uniform Mechanical Code, 1985 Edition, and the
National Electrical Code, 1987 Edition. On the recommendation of
the Building Official and Director of Community Development, such

of said Codes compatible with other Codes enforced by the City and
fee schedules.

Resolution with the Department of Housing and Community Development
of the State of California.
