Ordinances
There will be a First Reading for several proposed ordinance changes:
Item 8c. As part of a normal update cycle, the State he
California Fire Code, Which occurs every three (3) years.
Municipal Code to reflect the updated changes. T
requirement for fire sprinkler installations in all new single a

s adopted the 2010 Edition of the
This change will amend the City's
ie only substantive revision is a
id multi-family dwellings. Staff met
of the 2010 State Fire Code and
Item 8d. Periodically, various City Departments request changes to the Municipal Code that
are minor in nature and generally reflect current practice or are done to correct
typographical errors. This item is for the approval of seven (7) such recommended ordinance
amendments. The most significant is an amendment specifying that an employee must work
five (5) consecutive years with the City and be eligible for retirement in order to receive sick
leave compensation. This clarification was approved by the SEIU representative.
Agreements
Item 8n. Agreement with Horizon Water and Environmental, LLC for an Environmental Impact
Report for the Kern River Project. Because of the pending action with the State Water
Resources Control Board, as well as sales contracts that expire in 2012, an environmental
impact report (EIR) will be needed. This action is to request approval of an agreement in the
amount of $600,000 with Horizon Water and Environmental, LLC, a firm that is currently a
retained expert in existing water litigation matters, and to appropriate $300,000 from the
Domestic Water Fund Balance and $300,000 from the Agricultural Water Fund Balance within
the Water Resources Capital Improvement Budget to fund the EIR preparation.
Item 8o. Aareement with Advanced Earth Sciences for geotechnical services for the
construction of the Bakersfield Landfill Closure Project. Landfill closure projects require more
soil testing than typical construction projects. This proposed agreement, in the amount of
$450,000, is for continuous field sampling and lab testing of the landfill cover soils during a 6
month period, followed by preparation of quality assurance reports that are required by
regulatory agencies. Six firms responded to the request for qualifications and proposals, and it
was determined that Advanced Earth Sciences has the combination of qualifications and fee
proposal most favorable for the City. The funding source will be from the Landfill Cap Reserve
within the Refuse Enterprise Fund.
Item 8p. Agreement with American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) for use of the Sports
Village (Phase 1) soccer fields. The first phase of the Sports Village sports and recreational
facility, north of Taft Highway, between Ashe and Gosford Roads, will include eight (8) soccer
fields that will be ready for play around July 1, 2011. This proposed agreement will grant AYSO
an initial five year license agreement, at no cost, to manage and utilize the facility, but will
allow the City to use the fields on dates when AYSO or their subleasors are not. Similar to the
agreement with Bakersfield Southwest Baseball for use of Aera Park, it is a turnkey agreement
and removes the City from being responsible for the maintenance costs at the facility,
Bids
Item 8z Accept Bid from Westco Distribution for Energy Efficient Decorative Lighting for the Q
Street Landscape Improvements from Truxtun Avenue to 24th Street. In order to ensure
uniformity of the Mill Creek design elements, staff has determined that all the lighting
components for this project must come from one vendor. Three bids were received, but one
was incomplete. Of the two remaining bids, staff recommends acceptance of the lowest
complete bid from Westco Distribution for $898,961.04. Funding has been budgeted and will
be derived from a State Housing and Community Development Infill Infrastructure Grant.
Hearings
Item 12.a. Similar to Consent Calendar Item 8c. pertaining to the new State Fire codes, this
agenda item is to consider the First Reading for proposed ordinance changes to the City's
Municipal Code to consider adoption of the new State versions of the California Mechanical,
Plumbing, Electrical, Existing Building, Historical Building, Residential, and California Green
Building Codes. Most of the proposed amendments are technical and minimal in nature, but
two key amendments go beyond State law by prohibiting the use of wood foundation systems
and retaining walls within seismic zones D, E, or F. An additional amendment allows the use of
a wood foundation for a storage shred or similar use, up to 240 square feet. The public
hearing is required, because of the additional amendments that go beyond the State law.
The Home Builders' Association has been informed of the new State Building codes and
proposed amendments. As proposed, these Building code amendments do not significantly
alter existing practices.

First reading of Ordinance amending Chapter 15.65 of the Bakersfield Municipal
Code relating to the California Fire Code. (All wards)
APPROVED
DEPARTMENT HEAD
CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER- ej
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The California Fire Code establishes State regulations regarding minimal standards for fire
related hazards and fire safety. The provisions of the California Fire Code are applicable to all
cities and.counties in California, including charter cities, without exception. However, cities and
counties may establish more restrictive and reasonably necessary differences to the State-wide
provisions due to climatic, topographical or geological conditions. The State has adopted the
2010 Edition of the California Fire Code as part of a normal update cycle, which occurs every
three years. The updated 2010 Edition of the California Fire Code provision is effective January 1,
2011.
The City of Bakersfield (City) previously adopted the 2007 Edition of the California Fire
Code in the Bakersfield Municipal Code (BMC) at Chapter 15.65. It is necessary for the City to
amend BMC Chapter 15.65, to reflect the updated changes in the 2010 Edition of the California
Fire Code.
The only substantive revision to the California Fire Code, by the State, is a requirement for
fire sprinkler installations in all new single and multi-family dwellings. The proposed amendments,
by the City to BMC 15.65, do not establish any additional restrictions above the newly adopted
State standards in the California Fire Code. The Bakersfield Fire Department has met with the
Home Builders Association about the adoption of the 2010 Edition of the California Fire Code and
received minimal comments. The remainder of the BMC ordinance amendments consists of
the re-numbering of existing provisions.
A copy of the 2010 Edition of the California Fire Code is on file at the City Clerk's office for
review.

7. First Reading of Ordinance Amending Section 17.71.020 Relating to Outdoor

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends First Reading of the proposed ordinance amendments.
BACKGROUND:
Periodically, various Departments throughout the City request changes to the Bakersfield
Municipal Code which are minor in nature. Generally, the changes are being sought to make a
section read better or to reflect current practice or correct typographical errors.
The following is a list of ordinances that are being recommended by Staff for changes:
1. BMC Section 2.84.570. This amendment specifies that an employee must work five
(5) consecutive years with the City and be eligible for retirement in order to receive sick-leave
compensation. This change encourages employment longevity with the City. Since sick leave
compensation is a benefit given by the City to employees, the City has the authority to set its
requirements but this clarification was also approved by the SEIU representative.
2. BMC Section 8.32.060. This amendment deletes the section entitling an absentee
owner to a prorated refund of charges for a period that the dwelling is unoccupied. This is an
antiquated section and no longer current practice.

SACOUNCILWdmins\10-11 Admins\CIeanup 2010.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
3. BMC Section 12.16.150. This amendment deletes reference to a "12 year
workmanship and performance warranty agreement" with the City which allowed a permittee to
receive a reduced fee. This has never been used due to the expense for the permittee.
4. BMC Section 14.04.240. The amendment deletes an antiquated provision
concerning installation of connections from water mains to individual properties which does not
reflect current practice. All such lines are installed by developers.
5. BMC Sections 16.16.050 and 16.16.060. The amendment to 16.16.050 deletes an
obsolete provision requiring maps to be submitted to the Officer of Intergovernmental
Management and creates a more generic description (in lieu of Pac Bell) for a telephone utility.
The amendment to 16.16.060 increases the time to return to the subdivider a copy of the map
with the resolution advising of the agency's decision from two calendar weeks to a more
reasonable thirty (30) days.
6. BMC Section 16.32.060. The amendment updates the list of planned sanitary sewer
areas in which assessment fees are being collected.
7. BMC Section 17.71.020. This amendment revises the definition of Northeast
Bakersfield to be consistent with all other Code references.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolutions.
BACKGROUND:
The resolutions of application propose proceedings for annexation of uninhabited
territory to the City of Bakersfield.
Annexation No. 620 is located along the north side of Rosedale Highway, generally
between Calloway Drive and Verdugo Lane. The annexation territory includes 46 parcels
of land (50.29 total acres) and has multiple property owners. Annexation was initiated by
the property owners having several parcels abutting Verdugo Lane and Rosedale
Highway. A request was submitted for a general plan amendment/zone change and
annexation of their properties to allow development of office and general commercial.
The City Council approved the request (GPA/ZC 09-0023) in 2009. Most of the remaining
parcels included in the annexation territory are developed. The developed area
includes various types of manufacturing/service businesses, a small hotel, two church
sites, a fast food restaurant, and a mini-storage facility, etc. It was necessary to include
these properties to connect the area to the existing City boundary. The applicant sent
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Page 2
certified letters to each property owner within the proposed annexation explaining need
to annex to the City of Bakersfield and asking if they would like to be annexed as well. Of
those receiving certified letters, one property owner submitting a written request to
annex, and the remaining property owners had no response. Since this annexation does
not have 100% property owner consent, LAFCO will require a protest hearing prior to
annexation approval.
Annexation No. 627 'is located along the east side of Stine Road, generally between
McKee Road and Taft Highway. The annexation consists of 4.78 acres of land. The
property owner has requested annexation for the development of the site to receive city
services. The property owner has consented to annexation. This annexation is within the
City's Sphere of Influence boundary and adjacent to the city limits.
Annexation No. 632 is located along the south side of Seventh Standard Road, between
the Calloway Canal and Allen Road. The annexation is adjacent to the city limits and is
within the City's Sphere of Influence boundary. The property owner has consented to
annexation. The proposal is to annex the property for development purposes and to
receive city services.
The exchange of property tax revenues for these annexations will be covered under the

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The owners of the above-mentioned properties failed to commence the required work as
ordered by the Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter 8.80 of
the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the public nuisances listed above were abated under the
direction of the Chief Code Enforcement Officer. The costs incurred by the City can be assessed
against the property as provided for in Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code. Property
owners had been given notice of their right to appear at the hearing on this matter before the
City Manager or his designee and to object to the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to
remove the public nuisance. The City Manager designee has approved the assessments
associated with the above mentioned properties.
The Council will need to confirm the approval of the City Manager designee of the costs incurred
by the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance and order that such costs be
made a lien against the property. This will be done by adoption of the attached resolution.

Resolution adopting an amended Conflict of Interest Code for City of Bakersfield
Departments.
APPROVED
DEPARTMENT HEAD
CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER ;eS
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Political Reform Act ("PRA") requires a biennial review of local agency conflict of
interest codes and that each governmental agency must review, update and amend
its Conflict of Interest Code and evaluate positions which are newly created, deleted or
modified so as to conform to the positions designated for reporting economic interests.
The positions identified in this update were created or modified subsequent to the
Council's approval of Resolution No. 169-08 on October 8, 2008, which completed the
year 2008 biennial review of the Code.
The positions created or modified as set forth in the resolution (Exhibit "A") meet the
criteria for filing Statements of Economic Interest under the PRA as they are either
involved in purchasing of equipment materials or services and/or participate in or
influence government decisions on behalf of their respective departments.
The current Code was reviewed by the City Manager, then provided to each
department head with recommended changes. Those changes included adding new
designated position, revising titles of existing positions, adding responsibilities to existing
positions, and deleting abolished titles and positions no longer requiring designation.
The proposed amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code are incorporated by
reference in the resolution as Exhibit "A."

adopting the Public Works Director's Report and authorizing collection of
assessments by the Kern County Tax Collector. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the Resolution of Intention.
BACKGROUND: On October 13, 2010, the Council adopted Resolution of Intention No. 1676
adding the above territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by Section
13.04.021 of the Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide

Panama and Union Planned Sewer Area (Ward 1)
Resolution of Intention No. 1677 to amend the Panama and Union Planned
Sewer Area boundary and preliminarily approve the cost and fee schedule.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Resolution of Intention.
BACKGROUND: Resolution No. 083-07 established the Panama and Union Planned Sewer Area.
This hearing is to review a proposed amended boundary to the Panama and Union Planned
Sewer Area in the City of Bakersfield, County of Kern, State of California, in order to require the
payment of a fee for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated cost of constructing a portion
of sewer trunk lines and appurtenant facilities. These facilities serve an area generally bounded
by Panama Lane on the north, 3/4 mile east of Cottonwood Road on the east, Union Ave on the
west, and Hosking Ave on the south.
The proposed amendment would extend the northern boundary generally to the southern
boundary of Tentative Tracts 6865 and 7029, % mile east of Cottonwood Road on the east, Union
Avenue on the west, and Hosking Avenue on the south. The amended boundary also eliminates
the County area east of Madison Avenue and south of Berkshire Road. The amended map of the
benefitted area, the estimated cost of the improvements, and the amended fee schedule are
attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B", respectively. The proposed amended planned sewer
area fee will be collected prior to the issuance of a residential or commercial building permit.
Established planned sewer area residents are exempt from the amended fee. Those who apply
for a building permit prior to the effective date of this amended resolution will be charged the
planned sewer area fee established in Resolution No. 083-07.

Resolution of Intention No. 1678 to order the vacation of Hopper Court, between
Union Avenue Loop west to the Southern Pacific Railroad Tracks. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield has received a request to vacate Hopper Court
between Union Avenue Loop west to the north right-of-way of the Southern Pacific Railroad
tracks.
The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Development Services, and Economic Development
Departments have been notified of the request and no objections have been received as of
the date of this report. Public Works notes that there are no City sewer and storm drain facilities
in this area. There are street light electrical conduits within the area. The City will reserve a
Public Utility Easement (PUE) over the vacated area.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail. There has been no
objection as of the date of this report.
Preliminary notices were also mailed to all adjacent property owners within a 300 - foot radius
of the proposed vacated area. Public Works has received no objections from these owners as
of the date of this report.
The proposed vacation was approved by the Planning Department on October 5, 2010, per
local ordinance and was found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010
General Plan pursuant to Government Code 65402.
It was determined that this action is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of CEQA guidelines (general rule),
because there is no possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the
environment.
This Resolution sets the Public Hearing date for the regular Council meeting of December 15,
2010, on the proposed vacation.

Agreement with Advanced Earth Sciences, Inc. ($450,000) for geotechnical services in
support of the construction of the Bakersfield Landfill Closure Project (Ward 3).
APPROVED

CITY MANAGE
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: On August 30, 2010, the City issued a request for qualifications and proposals (RFP&Q)
for geotechnical consultants to provide support during construction of the Bakersfield Landfill Closure
Project. Landfill closure projects require a much greater degree of soil testing than typical construction
projects, because the soil acts as a moisture barrier. The geotechnical work includes continuous field
sampling and lab testing of landfill cover soils during a six month construction period planned for 2011,
followed by preparation of extensive construction quality assurance reports required by regulatory
agencies.
A total of six responses were received on September 14, 2010 (Advanced Earth Sciences, Inc., Ausenco-
Vector, Geo-Logic Associates, Golder Associates, Krazan & Associates, Inc., and Soils Engineering, Inc). The
Selection Committee met on September 22, 2010 to evaluate responses to the RFQ&P. The Proposers
were also required to submit a fee proposal for the Scope of Work detailed in the RFQ&P. The Selection
Committee found the firm of Advanced Earth Sciences, Inc. (AES) to have the combination of qualifications
and fee proposal most favorable for the City.
Therefore, staff recommends award of this agreement to Advanced Earth Sciences, Inc. (Irvine, CA).
Sufficient funds are budgeted to award this agreement. Funding is from the Landfill Cap Reserve within
the Refuse Enterprise Fund. Therefore, there is no General Fund impact associated with this Agreement.

SUBJECT: License Agreement with American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), R gion 73,
for use of the soccer fields at Sports Village (Phase 1), located on the north side of
Taft Highway, east of Ashe Road and west of Gosford Road. (Ward 6)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In January, 2010, the City began construction on Sports Village, a sports and recreational facility
in Southwest Bakersfield on property located on the north side of Taft Highway, bordered on the
east by Ashe Road, and on the west by Gosford Road, consisting of approximately 170 acres.
The first phase of construction and development includes eight (8) full-sized soccer fields, which
are intended to be ready for play on or about July 1, 2011, including, among other things,
roadways for vehicular and pedestrian ingess and egress, vehicle parking areas, restrooms, a
concessions building shell, lighting and landscaped areas, as referenced in the attached License
Agreement.
Under the terms of the proposed license agreement, the American Youth Soccer League
(AYSO), Region 73, a California non-profit corporation, would enter into a five (5) year agreement
with the City to manage the facility, including operating the concessions and utilizing the fields
for soccer practices, matches, tournaments, and related events. This agreement allows AYSO
the use of the facility for an initial five (5) years, without cost. At the conclusion of the five (5) year
term, AYSO may request an extension for two additional five (5) year periods, with compensation
to the City to negotiated by both parties. The terms of this agreement are similar in nature to the
City's agreement with Bakersfield Southwest Baseball for their use of the Aera Park baseball
complex located at Stockdale and Jewetta. It is a turnkey agreement that allows the City to be
removed from the responsibility for the costs of maintenance of the facility.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
AYSO will be granted use of the soccer fields at Phase 1 based on a schedule to be submitted to
the City annually, on or before May 1st of each calendar year. They will also be able to sublease
to other soccer groups to maximize the use of the fields. However, the City will retain the right to
use the fields for its own purposes, or to rent them to other groups on any dates not previously
approved for use by AYSO.
The City's responsibilities will include completion of construction of the eight (8) soccer fields,
roads for entrance and exit, parking areas, restrooms, a concessions building shell, field lighting
and landscaped areas, providing water for the facility, and road maintenance.
AYSO will install the concession amenities, pay the utilities (except water), maintain the fields and
restrooms.
AYSO currently holds their soccer activities at Cal State Bakersfield. However, Cal State
Bakersfield has notified AYSO that they intend to use that site for a future residential village for
students, and they will need the property that AYSO is leasing no later than September, 2011.
Therefore, the City wishes to enter into this agreement with AYSO to provide a suitable location
for AYSO's activities, so that AYSO can continue to hold soccer activities in our community.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 75 to Agreement No. 07-304 with Security Paving
Construction ($64,696.38; revised not to exceed $32,983,349.70) for the State Route
178 and Fairfax Road Interchange Project (TRIP) (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Orders.
BACKGROUND: This project consists, in general, of construction of a freeway interchange on State
Route 178 (SR-178) at Fairfax Road and the extension of the SR-178 freeway for one mile, from just
east of the Oswell Street overcrossing to just west of Morning Drive.
Change Order No. 75 provides for modifications to the westbound on ramp. The original
construction plans specified that guard rail be installed on either side of this ramp where it
connects to Fairfax Road. But when the contractor had this area surveyed, there was not enough
room to install these railings. Instead, concrete barriers with crash cushions were needed in order
to maintain Caltrans safety standards. This change also necessitates other modifications such as
relocation of a maintenance vehicle pull out and adjustments to drain and irrigation systems.
The net cost increase of Change Order Nos. 75 is $64,696.38. This provides a total cost increase of
$3,653,903.60 which is a 12.4 % increase as illustrated below:
• Original Contract Amount (includes Amendment Nos. 1 & 2) _ $29,329,446.10
• Previous Change Orders = $ 3,589,207.22
• Current Change Order No. 75 = $ 64,696.38
• Amended Contract Agreement after Change Orders = $32,983,349.70
Net Increase to date = $ 3,653,903.60
At the May 5, 2010 City Council meeting, staff estimated that there were approximately $500,000
in outstanding change orders for this project. The actual figures are detailed, as follows:
The change order brought forward for approval today is $64,696.38. This brings the total amount
of change orders to actually be paid by the City (not Including those change orders paid by PB
Americas as part of their ramp design error issue) since the May 5, 2010 meeting to $315,934.07.
Deducting this amount from $500,000 leaves a balance of about $185,000.00 in change orders
that staff projects, but have yet to be substantiated by Security Paving. When confirming
information is received, the change orders will be brought to Council for approval.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low base bid and award of contract
for Base Bid and Selective Bid Alternate No. 1.
BACKGROUND: The project entitled "Street Improvements on Wible Road from Arvin-Edison
Canal North 180 Feet" provides for construction of the roadway to full width on the
southbound direction of Wible Road to alleviate traffic problems in this area.
The Base Bid constructs curb and gutter, sidewalk, drive approach, modification of striping
and road markings, and other miscellaneous work. In addition, two methods for constructing
the roadway were considered during design. These two available methods are referred to
Selective Bid Alternate Number 1 and Selective Bid Alternate Number 2. Both methods are
acceptable for constructing the roadway. Bidders were required to provide a bid for both
Selective Alternates to allow contractors to bid on the method that is most cost effective to
them. Selective Bid Alternate Number One consists of constructing asphalt concrete over
aggregate base. Selective Bid Alternate Number Two consists of constructing asphalt
concrete to full depth. For each of the four bidders, the most cost effective method proved to
be Selective Bid Number 1.
This project is funded entirely with Transportation Development Funds. The Engineer's Estimate
for this construction contract was $76,286. Sufficient funds are budgeted to award this
contract. On September 15, 2010, four bids were received; all of those bids are acceptable.

increase production time and operational costs. The second lowest bid submitted by Vermeer
Pacific did not meet the minimum specifications in the following areas; the rotating drum has a
one year warranty, specifications call for lifetime warranty, hydraulic system is undersized and a
plow was not included. The non-alternate proposal submitted by Resource Machinery &
Engineering, LLC meets minimum specifications and is considered acceptable by staff.

DATE: October 14, 2010 CITY ATTORNEY Q
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: First reading of ordinance amending sections 15.04, 15.05, 15.07, 15.09, 15,11,
15.13, 15.15, and adding sections 15.17 and 15.19 of the Building and Construction
codes, specifically the California Building Code, Mechanical Code, Plumbing
Code, Electrical Code, Existing Building Code, Historical Building Code, California
Residential Code and California Green Building Code
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California recently adopted new versions of the California Building Code (CBC),
Mechanical Code, Plumbing Code, Electrical Code, California Existing Code, Historical
Building Code and added a new California Residential Code and Green Building Code,
hereinafter collectively referred to as state codes, This is part of the normal code adoption
cycle which occurs every three years after the publication of the new national model codes.
In the previous cycle, California merged the International Building Code and International
Residential Code into one California Building Code. This cycle the Residential and California
Building Codes have remained separate and consistent with the International Building Code.
State law requires that the City of Bakersfield ("City") adopt the above state codes by January
1, 2011. The adoption of the state codes by general law and charter cities is mandatory.
However, state law permits the City to amend these state codes to make them more
restrictive as long as such restrictions are based upon climatic, geological, and/or
topographical reasons.
The new state codes include some major revisions that will impact the cost of a new single
family home. The California Residential Code includes a requirement for fire sprinklers in all
new single and two-family dwellings, This is a "life safety" system that will be connected to the
domestic water service. Additionally, California adopted a Green Building Code which
requires several new mandatory measures such as Irrigation Controllers with moisture probes,
water fixtures (e.g., dual flush toilets, water faucets) with 20% reduced flow, whole house fan,
and many others. These items along with the new requirements per the California Energy
Code increase the construction costs of a new home.

S:\Building\Ordinances\Hdmin Report - Building and Const Code2010- 1streadingl1-03-10.doc
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
For the most part, the City's proposed amendments to the state codes are technical and
minimal in nature. As proposed, two key amendments go beyond state law by prohibiting the
use of wood foundation systems and retaining walls within seismic zones D, E or F. In addition,
another amendment allows the use of a wood foundation for a storage shed or similar use up
to 240 square feet.
City staff met with the Legislative Branch of the local Home Builders Association (HBA) about
the adoption of the new state codes and proposed amendments. The HBA members' main
concern was if any of the proposed amendments would affect the way they currently build a
single family home. As proposed, the amendments do not significantly alter existing practices.
Due to the more restrictive amendments mentioned above a hearing is needed to give the
public an opportunity to comment on the new code changes at the next City Council
Meeting. Additionally, in October staff started conducting a series of classes regarding the
code changes. These classes educate local architects, contractors and homeowners about
the changes to the code,
