a. Weathering may require a higher strength concrete or grade
of masonry than necessary to satisfy the structural requirements of
this code. The weathering column shall be filled in with the weathering
index (i.e., "negligible," "moderate" or "severe") for concrete as
determined from the Weathering Probability Map [Figure R301.2(3)].
The grade of masonry units shall be determined from ASTM C 34, C 55,
C 62, C 73, C 90, C 129, C 145, C 216 or C 652.
| |
b. The frost line depth may require deeper footings than indicated
in Figure R403.1(1). The jurisdiction shall fill in the frost line
depth column with the minimum depth of footing below finish grade.
| |
c. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table to
indicate the need for protection depending on whether there has been
a history of local subterranean termite damage.
| |
d. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table with
the wind speed from the basic wind speed map [Figure R301.2(4)]. Wind
exposure category shall be determined on a site-specific basis in
accordance with Section R301.2.1.4.
| |
e. Temperatures shall be permitted to reflect local climates
or local weather experience as determined by the building official.
| |
f. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table with
the seismic design category determined from Section R301.2.2.1.
| |
g. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table with
(a) the date of the jurisdiction's entry into the National Flood Insurance
Program (date of adoption of the first code or ordinance for management
of flood hazard areas), (b) the date(s) of the Flood Insurance Study
and (c) the panel numbers and dates of all currently effective FIRMs
and FBFMs or other flood hazard map adopted by the authority having
jurisdiction, as amended.
| |
h. In accordance with Sections R905.2.7.1, R905.4.3.1, R905.5.3.1,
R905.6.3.1, R905.7.3.1 and R905.8.3.1, where there has been a history
of local damage from the effects of ice damming, the jurisdiction
shall fill in this part of the table with "YES." Otherwise, the jurisdiction
shall fill in this part of the table with "NO."
| |
i. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table with
the 100-year return period air freezing index (BF-days) from Figure
R403.3(2) or from the 100-year (99%) value on the National Climatic
Data Center data table "Air Freezing Index - USA Method (Base 32°)"
at www.ncdc.noaa.gov/fpsf.html.
| |
j. The jurisdiction shall fill this part of the table with the
mean annual temperature from the National Climatic Data Center data
table "Air Freezing Index - USA Method (Base 32°)" at www.ncdc.noaa.gov/fpsf.html.
| |
k. In accordance with Section R301.2.1.5, where there is local
historical data documenting structural damage to buildings due to
topographic wind speed-up effects, the jurisdiction shall fill in
this part of the table with "YES." Otherwise, the jurisdiction shall
indicate "NO" in this part of the table."
|
"Any existing building shall retrofit with automatic fire sprinklers
installed and maintained in accordance with N.F.P.A., 1' Standard
13 throughout when more than or equal to 50% of a structure's square
footage is substantially remodeled, whether done at one time or through
successive projects approved at any time after the effective date
of Ordinance No. 1155-17, or March 23, 2017."
|
"The Building Official may require a geologic or geotechnical
report or both, in accordance with the 2019 California Residential
Code Section R401.4. This section shall include any new residential
construction or additions to existing structures. As part of this
evaluation, the Building Official shall require a site visit to determine
the need for a geologic or geotechnical report or both. A fee shall
be collected for each site visit.
|
A geologic report shall be prepared by a Certified Engineering
Geologist licensed by the State of California. A geotechnical report
shall be prepared by a registered Civil Engineer versed in soils engineering
and qualified to perform this work. When both a geotechnical and geologic
report are required, the two reports shall be coordinated before submission
to the Building Official. The Building Official, at his or her discretion,
shall obtain any technical support necessary to approve the report.
Submitted reports shall contain a finding regarding the safety of
the site from any variety of geologic hazard and a finding regarding
the effect the proposed improvements, grading and/or construction
and use of the site will have on the stability of the site and/or
property outside the site. Any recommendation or action presented
in the approved reports along with any conditions of approval shall
be incorporated into the construction of site improvements. A fee
shall be collected for the cost of review of the reports and any required
addendums."

790 or ADTM E108.
| |
Exceptions:
| |
(a) Class A roof assemblies include those with coverings
of brick, masonry and exposed concrete roof deck.
