Honorable Mayor and City Council Mem6ers
Community Development Department
Ordinance No. 835, Adopting Building Code Regulations
Ordinance No. 835 rcpeals all past ordinance provisions and eliminates incon-
sistent regulations. This ordinance includes adoption of the following:
Uniform Building Code, 1979
Uniform Building Code Standards, 1979
Uniform Administrative Code, 1979
Uniform Security Code, 1979
Uniform Housing Code, 1979
Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, 1979
Uniform Sign Code, 1979
1980 Supplement, Uniform Building C~de and Uniform Building
C~de Standards
The 197~ UBC is more practical than the 1976. Two buildings, one under construction
and one in design, were authorized to proceed under 1979 UBC as they were not
feasible under the 1976 version. This is not to say that code provisions have
been relaxed, but rather made practical and allows the Building Official to use
logic in nebulous areas rather than the more rigid code mechanism of 1976 UBC.
An example is the proposed Gfeller Stevens Square project involving belo,~-grade
parking beneath subdivided lots. The 1976 UBC would require fire separate wails
at property lines in the parking garage, making it unfeasible. The 197g UBC
allowed the Building Official to make a determination that the horizontal
protection between the garage and Queen Anne office buildings above effectively
removed fhaf requirement.
Some code adoptions are not included at this time as proposed State legislation
effects them and the updated edition of one has just been published. A future
ordinance proposal will be prepared at the appropriate time for such other code
adoptions. If did not appear prudent fo wait further as these codes are be-
coming the industry standard and have ar are being adopted by numerous muni-
cipalities.
The lg79 Uniform Administrative Code is a new vehicle fo comrdinafe and unite the
various codes improving enforcement and increasing successful administrative
or legal actions. Fees listed in the code are adequate and reflect State mandated
enforcement actions.
Amendments in the Uniform Administrative Code, 1979 include:
A listing of items exempted from permit requirements. These are small,
relafvely inconsequential items such as chain link fencing, structures
under 100 sq. fl. in area, etc., which are an unnecessary burden to both home
owners and departmental inspectors.

The Building Official may also enforce conditions of approval or directions
of the Planning Agency which are of a z~ing nature which do not now re-
quire a building permit will be handled through the permit process.
Deposits will be required as routine in a building demolition fO ensure re-
pair of any damaged public improvements and completion oF the demolition.
Microfilmin9 was included in the code as a requirement of the developer or
permiffee for the mandatory State permanent retention of all documents, per-
mits, plans, etc. on each lot or property. All jurisdictions use micro-
filming due fo space needs and that cost will now be borne by the specific
permiftee.
The Building Official may now require mechanical clean-up of dirt without
water and control of erosion on grading sites. This is necessary fo comply
with requirements of the State Fish and Game Department as enforced by the State
Attorney General. There is a stroh9 possibility that the Newport Bay sil-
tation problem would cause the State fo half all construction projects if if
worsens.
6. Zoning and Building Code violations may n~w be cited as infractions rather
than misdemeanors, leading fo quicker and more effective solutions.
A new Section 2313 of the UBC, 1979 provides standards for repairs, additions,
rehabilitation, efc. fo pre-1934 unreinforced masonry buildings. These pro-
visions were prepared by recognized local engineers and builders and tests con-
ducted by the City of Los Angeles. These provisions would substantially reduce
loss of life in such buildings during a seismic event. No buildings in Tustin
would need demolition and the financial hardship has proved fo be moderate fo
building owners. These provisions implement SB 445, enacted in 1979 fo reduce
earthquake hazards and encourage jurisdictions fo implement the Seismic Safety
Elements of their General Plans.
The new Uniform Building Security C~de, 1979, as amended, includes all the pro-
visions of Tusfin's Ordinance No. 762, Security Ordinance. The National Swim-
ming Pool Code, 1976 and these standards result from the input of member pool
contractors. New safety features on gates, poolside handholds where coping is
high, engineering design F~r expansive soil conditions, and new standards For
yard drainage fo assure drainage fo the street are included.
The majority of amendments fo any portions of these code merely reflect the
actual operations oF the City of Tusfin's Community Development Department and
are administrative rather than technical in nature.
FIRE PREVENTION
Proposed Ordinance 835 already implements, some of the recommendations of Orange
County Fire Chief, Larry Holms. UBC, 1979 Section 1210 requires retroactive
installation of smoke defectors whenever a residential repair, alteration, etc.
is valued af $1,000.00 or more. Fire retardanf roof coverings are required by
new provisions in UBC, 1979, Sections 1202, 1704, Table 17A, 1806, 1906, 3203(e),
and Chapter 32, Appendix. These provisions require fire retardanf roofs, with
varying degrees of fire resistance for apartments over two stories or with over
3,000 sq. ff. of roof area and less than 10 feet from property tine and more in-
tensive requirements for over two stories, over 6,000 sq. ff. of roof area and

less than 10 feet from property line. There is unanimity between Community
Development and the Fire Department on adoption of these provisions,
Other areas needin~ further discussion as fo effectiveness vs cost, existing
technology and ifs capability, definition of geographical areas, determination as
fo whether the Buildin9 or Zoning Codes should be used and manpower caRabilify
to implement include the following:
Short-term installation requirement for smoke defectors in all structures.
{We are already in agreement on this matter and if will be included in a
future ordinance amendment}.
2. Occupancy inspection program' fo implement the latter and determine fire
hazaFdS.
3. Areas of Iow wafer pressure offers two alternatives to either improve pres-
sure or require inferior sprinklin9.
4. The technological state and industry approval of residential sprinkler systems,
5. The requirement of non-combustible rather than fire refardanf roof materials.
6, Attic one-hour rated fire blocks between units in apartments or Condominiums.
7. Areas both in the city and the Sphere of Influence susceptible fo brush
fire conditions especially on hillsides.
Staff requests additional time to fully develop the most appropriate responses
fo each issue and the overall issue in a joint effort with the Fire Department.
As we approach the rainy season the urgency on some issues decreases and the
adoption of Ordinance 835 will give us a basis fo work from. We expect a full
response fo the issue fo be developed in 75 days and be on the Council's agenda
by the second meeting in January, 1981 af the latest.

8102 AMENDMENT OF TIlE 1979 UNIFORM BUILDING CODE
The 1979 edition of the Uniform Building Code is
hereby amended as follows:
(a) Amendment of Part I. Part I was deleted from the
Uniform Building Code.
(b) Amendment of Chapter 23 of Part V. Chapter 23 is
amended by adding Section 2313 to read as follows:
Sec. 2313. '(a) Purpose. The purpose of to promote
public safety and welfare by reducing the risk of
death or injury that may result from the effects of
earthquakes or unreinforced masonry bearing
wall buildings constructed before 1934. Such
buildings have been widely recognized for their
sustaining of life hazardous damage as a result
of partial or complete collapse during past
moderate to strong earthquakes.
The provisions of this Section are minimum stan-
dards for structural seismic resistance estab-
lished primarily to reduce the risk of life loss
or injury and will not necessarily prevent loss
of life or injury or prevent earthquake damage
to an existing building which complies with
these standards. This Section shall not require
existing electrical, plumbing, mechanical or fire

safety systems to be altered unless they con-
stitute a hazard to life or property.
This Section provides systematic procedures and
standards for identification and classification
of unreinforced masonry bearing wall buildings
based on their present use. Priorities and
standards are also established under which these
buildings are required to be structurally ana-
lyzed. Where the analysis or testing determines
deficiencies, this Section required the bulding
to be strengthened or demolished.
(b) Scope. The provisions of this Section shall
apply to all existing buildings constructed or
under construction prior to 1934, which on the
effective date of this ordinance have unreinforced
masonry bearing walls as defined herein.
EXCEPTION: This Section shall not apply to de-
tached dwellings and detached apartment houses
containing less than five dwelling units.
(c) Definitions. For the purposes of this Sec-
tion, certain terms are defined in Sections 2302
and 2312 except as modified and defined as follows:
Essential Buildings: Those structures or
buildings which are to be used for emergency
purposes after an earthquake in order to pre-
serve the peace, health and safety of the general

effective date of this Section; and buildings
having a rating classification of IV Shall be
notified last, but not earlier than five years
after the effective date of this Section. Within
each separate rating classification, the notifi-
cation will normally be based on the occupant
load of the building, wi~h the buildings housing
larger occupant loads being notified first. The
Building Official will, upon receipt of a written
request from the owner, order a building to comply
with this Section prior to the normal notification
date set forth in this Section.
(2) Notification. Following the priorities listed
in the preceding subsection, the Building Official
will order the owner of each building within the
scope of this Section to cause a structural analysis
to be made of the building by a licensed civil or
structural engineer or architect. If the building
is found to be deficient in meeting the requirements
of this Section, the owner shall cause it to be
structurally altered so as to conform to such
requirements or be demolished.
The order shall be in writing and shall be served
either personally or by certified mail upon the
owner as shown in the last equalized assessment
roll, and the structural strengthening plans,
if required, be submitted to the Building Official
for review within 270 days after service of the
order. If the owner elects to demolish the building,
a statement declaring an intention to demolish shall
be submitted to the Building Official within 270
days after service of the order.
-23-
The order will specify that permits required to
demolish the building or accomplish the necessary
structural alterations no later than one year
after the service of the order, the necessary
alterations or demolition must commence within
180 days of the date that the permit was issued
and that the building be corrected to meet the
minimum requirements of this Section or be
demolished no later than three years after such
service.

with cement mortar of all the masonry wall joints
before the tests are first made. If the exterior
joints are pointed then the inside face must also
be pointed. Prior to any pointing, the wall sur-
face must be sand or water blasted to remove
loose and deteriorated mortar. All preparation
and cement mortar pointing shall be done under
the continuous inspection of a registered deputy
inspector with a subsequent written report to the
Building Official. All testing shall be performed by
an approved testing agency in accordance with the
requirements specified in this Subsection.
EXCEPTION: Unreinforced masonry walls which
carry no design loads other than its own weight
may be considered as veneer if they are ade-
quately anchored to new supporting elements.
(2) Number and Location of Tests. The
quality of mortar in all masonry walls shall be
determined by performing in place shear tests
or by testing eight inch diameter cores. The
minimum number of tests shall be two per wall or
line of wall elements resisting a common force,
or 1 per 1500 square foot of wall surface, with
a minimum of eight tests in any case. The
exact test or core location shall be determined
at the building site by the licensed engineer
or architect responsible for the seismic analysis
of the subject building. The results of all
tests or coring shall be recorded and reported.

relative to the adjacent bricks in that wythe.
The opposite head joint of the brick to be
tested shall be removed and cleaned prior to
testing. The minimum quality mortar in 80 per-
cent of the shear tests shall not be less than
the total of 30 psi plus the axial stress in the
wall at the point of the test. The shear stress
shall be based on the gross area of both bed
joints and shall be that at which movement of the
brick is first observed.
(4) Core Tests. A minimum number of mortar
test specimens equal to the number of required
cores shall be prepared from the cores and tested as
specified herein. The mortar joint of the outer
wythe of the masonry core shall be tested in shear
by placil]g the circular core section in a compression
testing machine with the mortar bed joing rotated
15 degrees from the axis of the applied load.
The mortar joint tested in shear shall have an
average ultimate stress based on the gross area
of 20 psi. The average shall be made from the
total number of cores made. If test specimens cannot
be made from cores taken the shear value shall be
reported as zero. The results of all coring and
shear testing shall be reported.
(5) Testing of Shear Bolts. One-fourth of all
new shear bolts and dowels embedded in unreinforced
masonry walls shall be tested by a registered

(c) AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 29 OF PART VI, Chapter 29~
is amended by adding Section 2910 to read as follows:
'2910 Driveway and Parking Lot Paving. All
paved areas shown on approved drawings over
which automotive vehicles will travel shall
be designed by a registered civil engineer.
EXCEPTION: Follow the following prescription:
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF FULL-
DEPTH ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENTS
FOR PARKING AREAS AND SERVICE ROADS
I. General Purpose.
These procedures are published as a guide to archi-
tects and engineers and are intended for use in
the City of Tustin.
The guide procedures herein are intended for use
on pavements subjected to motor vehicle traffic
only. If pavements are to carry forklift traffic
the higher load concentrations may require special
mix designs and specifications similar to those
required for industrial floors.
Substantial special inspection at the asphalt
plant and project sites is recommended if the
proposed work is extensive in area or is to be
constructed with surface drainage gradients of
less than 2.0%.
II. Design of Pavement Thickness.

will consider all of those factors normally
used for designing road and street pavements:
1.1 Subgrade strength value of the soils and
aggregates underlying the pavement.
1.2 Traffic and/or loading conditions to be
imposed on the pavement..
1.3 Characteristics of the asphalt-aggregate
mixture.
2.0 Evaluation of Soil Conditions. The soils
and aggregates on the site or to be placed
there, must be properly evaluated by expert
engineering judgment, valid past experience or
on the basis of appropriate laboratory tests.
The evaluation shall consider the bearing or
resistance value of the soils and aggregates at
water contents and compacted densities consistent
with those expected during the service life of
the pavement. A soils survey, shall be
conducted to determine the types of soil present
on the site. On larger projects, soil samples
should be obtained and submitted for laboratory
analysis to determine composition and engineering
properties and to evaluate the load-supporting
characteristics of subgrade soils. If testing equip-
ment is not available, however, designs may be made
on the basis of a careful field evaluation by
and experienced engineer who can assign the
subgrade soil to a soil type.
A uniform subgrade shall be obtained during
construction. The soil survey shall indicate
localized areas of unsuitable materials, which
shall need to be removed, and areas of good

soils for filling iow areas.
For the purpose of pavement design when soil
test data are not available, assume that the
soil within the City of Tustin is:
Poor subgrade - Becomes extremely soft and
plastic when wet. Included are organic silts
or silt-clays of low plasticity, inorganic
silts, and organic clays of medium to high
plasticity.
3.0 Traffic and/or Loading Conditions. The
type of expected traffic and frequency of loading
are important elements affecting thickness design
decisions:
3.1 Light Parking: General parking areas for
autos and light trucks.
3.2 Medium Parking: Access roads and drives,
store frontage traffic and service stations.
3.3 Heavy Parking: Warehouse approaches, warehouse
parking areas, ramps; all heavy-duty truck
loadings, or parking areas. Up to 20 heavy
truck and trailer units per day.
3.4 Extra Heavy Parking: Heavy industrial types
of pavement loadings. Areas for use by 20-400
heavy truck and trailer units per day.
4.0 Materials Considerations. Paving asphalt
shall be used in grades AR-2000, 4000 or 8000.
The 2000 grade would be used under light loading
conditions. The 8000 grade would be used under
.heavy loading conditions.
Aggregates shall be crushed and/or rough
surfaced 'sand and gravels. Gradation requirements
shall be as provided in the below chart:

in rainy weather, a minimum 2% (1/4 in. per ft.)
grade is necessary to avert objectionable pondings
on the paved area. To avoid excessive flow, buried
conduits or PCC gutters are to be required. PCC
pavement shall slope 0.4% or greater.
Flows to proposed inlets shall be adjusted to
give satisfactory results. For average conditions,
inlet spacings of no more than 200 to 300 feet
will be satisfactory.
Designs calling for a meandering PCC gutter or valley
should be avoided. Such gutters require hand-placing,
the quality of which is inferior to machine-laying.
The layout should therefore provide for PCC gutters
that follow straight lines to be installed by
machine when the mix is being placed. The paving
machine should parallel these lines, and parallel
the long dimension of the lot.
Every practical effort shall be made to prevent
the accumulation of water beneath the pavement.
If there is evidence of subsurface seepage at the
site, (i.e., lush marsh-type growth, willows,
etc.), special underdrains shall be installed.
6.2 Establishment of Grades. Grades shall
be established and all surveying and staking shall
be by a licensed surveyor.
6.3 Soil Sterilization. Soil sterilization shall
be specified in all areas where plant growth may
be expected. This shall normally include any
areas where existing top soil will be used as
foundation for the paved area. Sterilization
may be unnecessary in areas where excavation
will remove top soil to a sterile depth or where

6.4 Fog Seal. A well-constructed asphalt concrete
pavement should not require a Seal Coat immediately
after construction if the proper asphalt content
is used and provided a reasonable amount of
traffic is obtained after completion to obtain a
surface seat. On paved parking areas, however,
certain sections may receive very little traffic,
and a Fog Seal of diluted emulsified asphalt shall
be used.
III. Asphalt Paving of Parking Areas and Service Roads
1.0 Scope of Work. The items of work to be per-
formed will consist of those listed or shown on
the approved drawings.
The areas to be paved and the thickness designs
of the paving structure for various portions of
the work are delineated on the plans.
2.0 Establishment of Grades. Finished elevation
grade stakes and any other surveying necessary
for the layout of the work is t~ie responsibility
of a licensed surveyor.
Areas having drainage gradients of 2% or more
shall have elevation stakes, set with instrument,
at grid intervals of 50 feet. Intermediate
stakes may be set by using a tightly-drawn string
line over the tops of adjacent stakes.
Areas having drainage gradients of less than 2%
shall have elevation stakes, set with instrument,
at 25 ft. grid intervals. Gradients less than
2% require building official approval, but in no
instance less than 2%.

4.0 Construction.
4.1. Preparation of Subgrade. All debris,
vegetation, or other perishable materials
shall be removed from the job site, and the
area to be paved shall be rough-graded to
within plus or minus 0.10 feet of subgrade ele-
vation.
Areas requiring fill shall be brought to rough
grade elevations in lifts not exceeding 6 inches.
Each lift shall be moistened to approximate optimum
moisture content, scarified lightly and rolled.
The top 6 inches of subgrade material shall be
co~pacted to a relative compaction of not less
than 90% using AASHTO T99 and T147 procedures.
After compaction and trimming, the subgrade
shall be firm, hard and unyielding.
Subgrade for the pavement structure shall not
vary more than plus or minum 0.04 ft. from the
specified grade and cross-section.
Areas inaccessible to power rolling or areas
that cannot be compacted properly with power
rollers shall be compacted with vibrating com-
pactors or other suitable mechanical means which
will produce a firm foundation for the paving
structure.
4.2 Soil Sterilization. Unless another chemical
sterilant is specified, the sterilant shall

be a borate or chlorate sterilant containing not
less than 25% sodium chlorate and shall be mixed
thoroughly with water at the rate of 1-1/2 lbs.
of sterilant per gallon of water. The sterilant
shall be applied evenly at the rate of 0.2 gal.
per sq. yd.
The contractor shall take whatever precautions as
are necessary to prevent contamination of adjacent
soil areas with sterilant and for the protection
of personnel.
4.3 Asphalt Concrete Mix Composition - Materials.
Asphalt concrete shall be produced by a commercial
asphalt paving plant. Mineral aggregate and
asphalt concrete production shall conform to the
locally prevailing State Standard Specifications.
Paving asphalt shall be of AR- (insert grade)
as specified above in Section 11, 4.
4.4 Definitions. For the purpose of compacting
procedures, the following definitions are used:
Initial or Breakdown Rolling: The first coverage
of a roller on asphalt concrete after the material
has been placed to line and grade.
Intermediate Rolling: The rolling performed im-
mediately after the initial rolling. When completed,
the pavement should meet job density requirements.
Compaction Rolling: Including initial and inter-
mediate rolling.
Finish Rolling: The final rolling necessary to
obtain the desired surface texture and eliminate
roller marks. No further densification is antici-
pated in this operation.

edge in 4-in. increments. The roller shall be
advanced to a supported edge first, if appli-
cable. Rolling within one foot of an unsupported
edge should be delayed to minimize possible
distortion, but completed at such time that proper
densities are obtained after the completion or
rolling. No roller shall be permitted to stand
motionless on any portion of the work before it
has been properly compacted.
4.6 Thin-Lift Spreading and Compaction. Courses
of asphalt concrete placed in compacted thickness
of less than 4 inches will be considered thin
lifts.
At the time of delivery to the site of work, the
temperature of mixture shall not be lower than 260°
F. Asphalt concrete shall not be placed when the
atmosp{~eric temperature is below 40° F or during
~]n~ [ t ab.kc weather.
~2he a~?halt concrete shall be evenly spread upon
the sui~grade of base to such a depth that, after
roiling, it will be of the specified cross-section
and grade of the course being constructed.
The depositing, distributing and spreading of
the asphalt concrete shall be accomplished in
a single, continuous operation by means of a
self-propelled mechanical spreading and finishing
machine designed especially for the purpose and
equipped with a screed or strike-off assembly
capable of being accurately regulated and adjusted
to distribute a layer of the material to a definite
predetermined thickness.
Spreading, once commenced, must be continued

without interruption. No greater amount of the
mixture shall be delivered in any one day than
can be properly distributed and rolled during
that day.
Compaction is the same as outlined in item 4.5,
except as noted below:
Steel-Wheel and Pneumatic: Apply a breakdown
(initial) coverage with a steel-wheel roller
loaded to 10 tons. Follow by intermediate
rolling consisting of a minimum of 4 coverages
of a pneumatic-tired roller, the tires being
inflated a minimum 60 psi cold and maximum
90 psi when hot. Finish rolling may consist
o[ one coverage of n 8-ton tandem steel-wheel
roller.
Steel-Wheel: Apply a minimum 6 coverages with
a steel-wheel roller, loaded to 10 tons.
Vibratory: Compaction shall consist of at
least 4 coverages with a vibratory roller.
As soon as the layer of asphalt concrete has
been placed, it shall be thoroughly compacted
by rolling. Rolling shall be commenced along the
lower edge. of the area to be rolled and be con-
tinued until the edge is thoroughly compacted,
after which the roller shall be gradually advanced
to the crown point, both sides being rolled in
a like manner. Rolling shall be continued until
the layer has become thoroughly compacted
throughout and is true to grade and cross-section.
4.7 Surface Smoothness. All rollers must be
maintained in good mechanical condition, and
those that cannot be operated without jerking,

or driven along a straight path, shall not
be used. No leakage of petroleum products
from any roller shall be allowed to come in
contact with the pavements being constructed,
nor shall any roller be permitted to stand
motionless on any portion of the work before it
has been properly compacted. Rolling surfaces
shall be treated with water to prevent the
adherence of the asphalt concrete, but the
quantity used must not be such as to be detri-
mental to the surface being rolled.
4.8 Fog Seal. Fog seal shall be SS-lh. or
CSS-lh emulsified asphalt, conforming to the
requirements set forth in The Asphalt Institute
Pacific Coast Division publication PCD-7, Asphalt
Pa~jj~ Liquid and Emulsified, diluted with an
