A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
FINDINGS AS TO WHY AMENDMENTS
TO THE UNIFORM CODES ARE NECESSARY
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Section 17958 and
Section 17958.5 allow the City, by Ordinance, to make modifications or
changes to the State Building Standards Code and other regulations adopted
pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 17922; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5
requires that such changes must be determined to be reasonably necessary
because of local climatic, geographical, or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7
requires that the governing body of the City, before making any modifications
or changes pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17598.5, shall make an
express finding that each such modification or change is needed; and
WHEREAS, such findings must be made available as a public
record, and a copy thereof with each such modification or change shall be
filed with the Department of Housing and Community Development, State of
California; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has before it an Ordinance requiring
the installation of spark arrestors on existing chimneys; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby determines that the proposed
Ordinance, presented herewith, establishes requirements greater than those
set forth in the California State Building Standards Code, as adopted by the
City of Dublin and set forth in Ordinance 02-84.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does
hereby find that each of the aforementioned changes or modifications which
are set forth in this Resolution are reasonably necessary because of local
climatic conditions in the area encompassed by the boundaries of the City of
Dublin because the City has a hot, dry, windy climate which is conducive to
the spread of fire from building to building.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution and
Ordinance be sent to the State Department of Housing & Community Development.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 27th day of July, 1987.
