A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BAKERSFIELD FINDING THAT AMENDMENTS TO
BUILDING AND PLUMBING CODE CONSTRUCTION
REGULATIONS ARE NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LOCAL
CONDITIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 17958.5 OF
THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE.
WHEREAS, in adopting the various Uniform Building
Codes, 1970 Edition and the ~niform Plumbing Code, 1970 Edition,
certain modifications or amendments tlhereto have been incorporated
in the adopting ordinance pursuant to Section 17958.5 of the
Health and Safety Code, and
WHEREAS, in accordance with said statute the modifications
or amendments to construction regulations made in Ordinance No.
1993 are specified by Ordinance Section numbers set forth below in
this resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City
of Bakersfield as follows:
1. It is 'hereby expressly found and determined that the
following amendments to construction regulations are necessary be-
cause of local conditions:
Section 13.16.030 (e) This amendment makes provision
for recognition of small shade structures such as
patio roofs, canopies, awnings, carports, arbors,
lath houses, greenhouses and other small special
purpose roof structures not exceeding one thousand
square feet t'hat are most prevalent in the side
yard and back yard area. This gives more specific
control for these structures.
Section 13.16.030 (f) Local conditions necessitate this
amendment to allow small patio and carport structures
adjacent to property line in a residential area. This
type of structure with present code fire restrictions,
because of the great demand in the Bakersfield area,
makes it almost unenforceable. This provision gives
allowance with reasonable restrictions.
Section 13.16.030 (g) T'his amendment sets up allowance
for model resident display inlcertain specific areas
control features for completion for foundation or
removal within a twosmonth period.
Section 13.16.030 (h) This amendment sets up a requirement
for reinforcement of footings and concrete floor slabs
for Group H and I Occupancies. Local differential
settlement conditions dictated the need for this
requirement where engineering was not provided for.
This requirement has been in effect and enforced since
1960.
Section 13.16.030 (j) This amendment changes t'he required
f
door rom 1-3/4" back to 1-3/8" as originally required
under the 1958 Code, under which all our existing hotels
have been corrected to meet t'his Chapter 13.
Section 13.16.030 (k) This amendment is in keeping with
acceptable practice for design of roof loads for tlhese
structures since 1960. No problems have occurred
using the 10 pounds per square foot live load limit.
Section 13.30.030 (c) This section is amended to eliminate
the requirement for working platform for roof mounted
appliances for single story Group I or J Occupancies or
a maximum of three dwelling units for one story of a
Group H Occupancy. The servicing of this equipment for
a single story roof mounted unit has not been a problem
in this locality and it does seem unreasonable to require
the code described platform for these buildings.
Section 13.60.030 This section is amended to regulate the
disposal of cooler water. This was'dictated to the
City in 1953 as refrigeration for cooling became pre-
dominant and water was used as a cooling medium, which
discharged excessive amount of water in t'he City's
Sanitary Sewer System effecting the digestive qualities
of the disposal plant. The amendment prohibits discharge
of cooling water into the sanitary sewer system.
Section 13.60.040 This amendment is also similar to the
Section 13.60.030 amendment controlling discharge of
water from swimming pools into the sanitation system
for the same reason.
Section 13.60.100 This section is amended to prohibit
installation of water piping within a concrete slab
or under concrete under the ground within the
building. However, for certain structural conditions
exceptions are made to allow water piping to be
installed in chases, sleeves, or ducts or protected
by approved wrapping material. The past experience
on corrosion in the Bakersfield area has required the
need for this more restrictive requirement.
2. That t'he City Clerk, upon enactment of Ordinance No.
1993 and adoption of this resolution, shall notify the Department
of Housing and Community Development, Division of Building and
Housing 'Standards ,' State of 'c~li~o{jnia ," of' t~e enact~e of ~rdin~ '
ance No. 1993 and t'he adoption of this resolution by sending a copy
of such ordinance and a copy of this resolution, along with a
notice advising such department of the fact of the enactment of
said ordinance and its effective date.
