If existing rod anchors embedded in brick are to be utilized as all or part of the required wall anchorage system at the floor level, not less than 5 percent of such existing rod anchors shall be tested by an approved testing laboratory or under the supervision of the engineer. The minimum number of anchors tested shall be four per floor, with two tests at walls with joists framing into the wall and two tests at walls with joists parallel to the wall but not less than 10 percent of the total number of existing tension anchors at each level. The test apparatus shall be supported on the masonry wall at a minimum distance of the wall thickness from the anchor tested. The rod anchor shall be given a preload of 300 lbs. prior'to establishing a datum for recording elongation. · The tension test load reported shall be recorded at one-eighth inch relative movement of the anchor and the adjacent masonry surface. Results of all tests shall be reported. The report shall include the test results' as related to the wall thickness and joint orientation. Ends of existing anchors shall be secured into the wood framing by a positive mechanical attachment. 2. Floor or roof level anchors embedded in concret'e. Existing rod anchors at floor or roof levels that are embedded in existing concrete or gunite applied to the opposite, side of the wall need not be tested provided such embedment is verified by observation and report by an approved testing agency or the engineer for at.least one anchor, and all anchors observed, in each wall at each level for which such the anchors are to be utilized as all or part of the required wall anchorage system. Other evidence of such embedment may be approved by the Building Official. (c) Testing of Bolts. One-fourth of new embedded bolts in unreinforced masonry walls shall be tested by a testing laboratory or engineer using the procedure of U.B.C. Standard No. 24-8.

Unreinforced masonry wall height to thickness ratios shall not exceed the ratios set forth in Table No. 1D. If a wall height to thickness ratio exCeeds the specified limits, the wall shall be laterally supported by bracing members complying with Subsection (c)1 or with Subsection (c)2. Bracing systems shall be designed in accordance with Section 15.40.070(a). The wall thickness may include the thickness of plaster, stucco or concrete that is determined by the .engineer to be bonded to the full height of the wall between wall anchors. (c) Bracing Methods.. 1. Vertical Bracing Members. Vertical bracing members' shall be attached to floor and roof construction for their design loads independent of required wall anchors. Horizontal spacing of vertical bracing members shall not exceed one-half the unsupported height of the wall nor 10 feet. Deflection of such bracing members at design loads, shall not exceed one-tenth of the wall thickness. 2. Wall Bracing. The wall height may be measured to bracing elements other than a floor or roof. Horizontal spacing of the bracing elements and wall anchors shall not exceed 6 feet on center nor 6 times the wall thickness, whichever is less. Bracing elements shall be detailed to minimize the.horizontal displacement of the wall by the vertical.displacement of the floor or roof. 6 (d) Wall AnchOrage. 1. Anchor Locations. Unreinforced masonry walls shall be anchored at the roof and floor levels in order to resist the forces specified in this section. 2. Tension Anchor Requirements. Tension anchors shall be tension bOlts through the wall having a maximum spacing of 6 feet or 6 times the wall thickness, whichever is less. .Alternate anchors shall be combination tension and shear bolts complying with the requirements set forth in Table No. 1-B. Tension bolts used to resist required forces may be assumed to develop the allowable values listed in Table No. 1-B. If access to the exterior face of a masonry wall is prevented by proximity of an existing building or when the appearance of through the wall tension anchors will affect the architectural appearance of the building, embedded bolts conforming to Table No. 1-B may be used. Wall anchors shall be secured to the rafters or joists to transfer the required forces into roof or floor sheathing. 3. Minimum Wall Anchorage Force. Anchorage of masonry walls to each floor or roof shall resist a minimum force determined by Formula (10-1) or 200 pounds per linear foot, whichever is greater, acting normal to the wall at the level of the floor or roof. Existing wall anchors installed under previous permits must meet or must be.upgraded to meet the requirements of this Chapter. 4. Anchors at Corners.

Parapets and exterior wall appendages not capable of resisting the forces sPecified in this section shall be removed, stabilized or braced to ensure that the parapets and appendages remain in their original position. The maximum height of an unbraced unreinforced masonry parapet above the level of tension anchors shall not exceed one and one-half (1-1/2) times the thickness of the parapet wall. If the required parapet height exceeds'this maximum height, a bracing system designed for the force determined by formula (10-1) shall be · installed to support the parapet. Parapet corrective work shall be performed in conjunction with the installation of tension roof anchors. The minimum height of a parapet above the wall anchor shall be twelve (12) inches. Exception: If a reinforced concrete beam is provided at the top of the wall, the minimum height above the wall anchor may be six (6) inches. f. Mortar Joints. Ail 'deteriorated mortar joints in unreinforced masonry walls shall be pointed with Type S or N mortar. Masonry cements shall not be used. Prior to any pointing, the wall surface must be raked and cleaned to remove loose and deteriorated mortar. All preparation for pointing .shall be inspected by the engineer or his representative. g. Masonry Veneer. 1. Veneer shall be anchored, to the structure of 'the .building with approved anchor'ties conforming to the required design capacity specified in the Building Code and placed at a maximum spacing of 24 inches with a maximum supported area of 2 square feet. EXCEPTION: I. Existing masonry veneer anchor ties may be acceptable provided the ties are in sound condition and conform to the following minimum size, maximum spacing and material requirements:. Existing masonry veneer anchor ties shall be corrugated galvanized iron strips.not less than 1 inch in width, 8-inches in length and 1/16.inch in thickness and shall be located and laid in every alternate course in the vertical height of the wall at a spacing not to exceed 17 inches on center horizontally. As an alternate, such ties may be laid in every fourth course vertically at a spacing not to exceed 9 inches on center horizontally. II.

LUNARDINI CITY ATTORNEY of the City of Bakersfield LCM/kg 4-30-93 URM 13 TO: URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMIT'I~E ..,' FROM: JACK HARDISTY, PLANNING DIRE ' · -: SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO BIA LETTER REGARDING CHANGES TO RESIDENTIAL SETBACKS (RECORD 'g/11747) On April 28, 1993, Ci~ Council referred to you a letter received from the Building Industry. ,Msociation of Kern County (BIA), regarding zoning ordinance amendments to the residential zones that proposed increasing the front and street side yard setbacks for garages and carports if their openings faced a street. The BIA expressed two major concerns in that letter. First, they felt that the Planning Commission ignored their Subdivision Committee's recommendation by approving the recommendation proposed by staff. BIA supported the committce's recommendation feeling staff's proposal was excessive. The issue of minimum driveways to garages was raised by the Planning Commission when members noted that it was becoming increasingly popular to develop R-2 zoned property with single family units. Using the R-2 front yard standard of 15 feet leaves a driveway 10 feet shorter than a standard R-1 development with its 25 foot front yard. Staff recommended a minimum front and side yard of 20 feet if a garage or carport opening faced the street. BIA objected at the public hearing and the matter was referred to committee and continued to the next meeting. The committee recommended a minimum driveway of 20 feet measured from thc back of sidewalk to garage rather than from the property line. The Planning Commission reviewed both the initial recommendation by staff and the committee's recommendation with equal determination. However. the majority of the Commission agreed that stat'f's first proposal was the best alternative to deal with thc problem of vehicles protruding over sidewalks or into the street due to the inadequate length of driveways. They felt that if a developer wished a lesser setback, then that developer should prove to the Commission that the project's design or unique aspects would warrant such relicg They were also satisfied that the new regulations would bc consistently applied as all measurements would be based from the property line (similar to other setback measurements) instead of a sidewalk or curb assuming they exist. During the course of discussion, the Commission noted that the Subdivision Committee's recommendation (measurement based from back of sidewalk) did not actually result in any change being made to the existing front yard setback requirement, and only minimal change to the street side yard setback, thereby continuing the problem of vehicle encroachment. Urban Development Committee ~ay 6, 1993 Page 2 The second issue by the BIA concerned the Planning Commission's agenda of April 15. 1993. A recent change in procedure makes the Commission's agenda available tbr public review two weeks prior to its meeting. This new procedure was initiated to better serve the development community in that it improves scheduling and enables problems to be worked out in advance of ~he Commission's meeting. This also gives the Planning Commissioners time to better prepare for their meetings both in anticipating their work load and in their access to staff reports 1-1/2 weeks to 2 weeks before their hearings. If there is a continuance or addition, an addendum is prepared so that after the Commission's pre-meeting (held the Monday before the Thursday regular meeting), the agenda is current. The April 15th meeting agenda had four addenda which included two continuances from the previous Commission meeting (April 1, 1993), and two new items. This proposal was one of the two continued items placed on the April 15th agenda while the BIA representative was present. The other two items added during the following week were city projects. During the Commission's pre-meeting, I informed the Commission that the agenda would be retyped incorporating the addenda so that the cases would be heard in their proper sequence. The agenda would be easier to follow and reduce confusion during the meeting. That agenda was posted that Monday afternoon in compliance with the proper posting time of the Brown Act regulations. Adequate opportunity was provided for the BIA to present their comments to the Planning Commission concerning this issue. Representatives testified at the Commission's April 1st public hearing, and at the Committee meeting held on April 14th. Although the Commission had closed the public hearing at the April 1st meeting, a BIA representative that was in attendance at the committee meeting was also present at the April 15th Commission meeting. I have attached copies of the complete agendas of the Planning Commission for April 15th including the draft with the addenda and the final with thc addenda incorporated into agcnda that was posted for public rcvicw.

Proposed ordinance amendment regarding front and side yard setbacks The Subdivision Committee of the Planning Commission met on April 14, 1993 with Commission members Marino, Rosenlieb and Andrew present. Representatives from the Kern County Building Industry Association were also present. · The Committee reviewed staff's proposal of increasing the front yard setback if a garage faced the street from .15 feet to 20 feet in the R-2, R-3, and R-4 zones, and the side yard setback from 10 feet to 20 feet in all the residential zones for corner lots. Discussion centered on the issue of what would be an adequate distance for a vehicle parked in a driveway between the garage and the back of sidewalk (or curb if there was no sidewalk). A majority of the committee members agreed that a 20 foot distance should be required between the garage and back of sidewalk. Commissioner Rosenlieb objected stressing that this distance - should be increased to 23 or 25 feet from the back of the sidewalk (which would reflect staff's initial proposal). Two ordinance amendments are attached, one representing the Subdivision Committee's opinion requiring a' 20 foot distance from the back of sidewalk to the garage,· and staff's initial proposal (revised to reflect staff's recommendation from the last Commission meeting), increasing the yard area to 20 feet (measurement from property line). Note: There are three curb to property line distances that exist along ·various streets in the city of 8, 10 and 12 feet. Under both the proposal suggested by the Subdivision Committee and that initially recommended by staff, building setbacks from the property line would be affected 'as follows: Curb to Property Committee Proposal Staff Proposal Line (building setback difference over (building setback difference over existing ordinance requirement) existing ordinance requirement) Front Yard Side Yard Front Yard Side Yard 8 feet +2 ft +7 ft +5 ft +10 fl 10 feet 0 ft +5 ft +5 fl +10 fl 12 feet 0 ft +3.ft +5 fl +10 fl Items A-D would be .w the setbacks would apply under the proposed ordinance.
