AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EASTVALE AMENDING
CHAPTER 110.05 (RESIDENTIAL CODE) OF THE EASTVALE MUNICIPAL CODE
AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2022 CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE
(CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24, PART 2.5) AND MAKING
LOCAL AMENDMENTS THERETO
WHEREAS, Sections 17922, 17958, and 18941.5 of the California Health and Safety Code
provide that the governing body of every city or county shall adopt ordinances or regulations
imposing the same requirements as those contained in the most recently adopted version of
the California Building Standards Code; and,
WHEREAS, Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7, and 18941.5 of the California Health &
Safety Code provide that a city or county may make such changes or modifications to the
requirements contained in the California Building Standards Code which are reasonably
necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions; and,
WHEREAS, Sections 17958, 17958.7, and 18941.5 of the California Health & Safety Code
provide that prior to making any change or modification to the California Building Standards Code
authorized by the Health & Safety Code, the City Council of Eastvale is required to make an
express finding that such modifications or changes are reasonably necessary because of local
climatic, geological, or topographical conditions; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Eastvale is not required to make an express
finding for amendments necessary to carry out the application of the Building Standards Code
and/or that do not otherwise modify a Building Standard; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Eastvale is in a liquefaction zone; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Eastvale is in Climate Zone 11 and, therefore, is required to have
more stringent energy efficiency requirements; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Eastvale is subject to ground tremors from large seismic events
along, but not limited to, the San Andreas Fault.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EASTVALE DOES HEREBY ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: Findings. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed amendments to
the 2022 California Residential Code are reasonably necessary because of local climatic,
geologic of topographic conditions, and adopts the findings provided below to support the
modifications to the 2022 California Residential Code. The City Council further finds that some
changes and modifications are of an administrative or procedural nature or concern themselves
with subjects not covered by the code or are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and
property within the City. The City Council hereby adopts the following (Climatic, geological, and
topographical, where applicable) findings to support the proposed amendments to the 2022
California Residential Code made in this Ordinance:
Climatic Conditions
A. The jurisdiction of the City of Eastvale (or, "City") is located in a warm
Mediterranean type climate. It annually experiences extended periods of high
temperatures with little or no precipitation. For example, during July, August
and September, temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. During the
same months humidity is usually less than 40%, and humidity measurements less
than 10% are not uncommon. These conditions contribute to an increased
likelihood of fire. Frequent periods of drought and low humidity add to the fire
danger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires
(conflagration). In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings, these
fires are also prone to disrupt utility services throughout the City. .
B. Water demand in this densely populated area far exceeds the quantity supplied
by natural precipitation; and although the population continues to grow, the
already -taxed water supply does not. California is projected to increase in
population by nearly 10 million over the next quarter of a century with 50
percent of that growth centered in Southern California. Due to storage
capacities and consumption, and a limited amount of rainfall, future water
allocation is not fully dependable. This necessitates the need for additional and
on -site fire protection features. It would also leave tall buildings vulnerable to
uncontrolled fires due to a lack of available water and an inability to pump
sufficient quantities of available water to floors in a fire.
C. These dry climatic conditions contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires
originating in high -density housing or vegetation. These fires spread very quickly
and create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection of
fire sprinkler systems and other fire protection features will supplement normal
fire department response by providing immediate protection for the building
occupants and by containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin.
Fire sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much
as 50 to 75 percent.
Topographical conditions
A. Development has occurred in the City and continues to occur in the City and
such development has resulted in severe traffic congestion during peak business
hours, weekends and holidays, thus decreasing the response time of fire and
emergency service vehicles, particularly on the following streets: Limonite
Avenue, Hammer Avenue, Archibald Avenue and River Road.
B. These topographical conditions combine to create a situation which places fire
department response time to fire occurrences at risk and makes it necessary to
provide automatic on -site fire -extinguishing systems and other protection
measures to protect occupants and property. Due to these topographical
conditions and the expected infrastructure damage inherent in seismic zones
described below, it is prudent to rely on automatic fire sprinkler systems to
mitigate extended fire department response time and keep fires manageable
with reduced fire flow (water) requirements for a given structure. Numerous
fires have occurred within the City in residential structures (houses, apartments,
hotels, motels, and dormitories) over the past several years that have automatic
fire protection systems, and in all of these fires, the automatic fire protection
systems have successfully controlled and/or suppressed the fire before the
emergency response personnel have been able to arrive at the structure.
Additional fire protection is also justified to match the current resources of
firefighting equipment and personnel within the fire department.
III. Geological Conditions
A. The City of Eastvale is located in Southern California, in an extremely active
seismic region, with high levels of historic earthquake shaking in the recent past
(earthquakes measuring larger than a magnitude 5 on the Richter Scale) and can
be expected to experience significant strong ground shaking within the
foreseeable future.
B. The seismotectonic setting of the City is dominated by the Chino -Central Avenue
fault. The City is also near the Whitter Fault, which is located 9 miles, and the
Elsinore fault, located 9 miles. In the event of a severe earthquake, these faults
present the potential for catastrophic damage, including fire, damage to
roadways and other impairments of emergency apparatus. Existing and planned
developments are at risk from structural damage from earthquake faults.
Improved standards are necessary to ensure that maximum safety is provided to
persons and property.
C. Previous earthquakes have been accompanied by disruption of traffic flow and
fires. A severe seismic event has the potential to negatively impact any rescue or
fire suppression activities because it is likely to create obstacles similar to those
indicated under the high wind section above. This situation creates the need for
both additional fire protection and automatic on -site fire protection for building
occupants.
IV. The findings above are applicable to the Amendments to the 2022 California
Residential Code as follows:
