A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA MAKING EXPRESS FINDINGS AND
DETERMINATIONS THAT MODIFICATIONS TO THE
2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE; CALIFORNIA
MECHANICAL CODE; CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE;
CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE; AND CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTIAL CODE, AS ADOPTED BY THE CITY OF
TEMECULA, ARE REASONABLY NECESSARY BECAUSE
OF LOCAL CLIMATIC, GEOLOGICAL AND/OR
TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals.
A. Certain building standards and other related model codes are adopted by the State
of California in the California Building Standards Code and become applicable in
the City unless amended by the City pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section
17958.
B. Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 authorizes the City Council to make
reasonably necessary changes or modifications to the Codes comprising the 2022
California Building Standards Code, based on certain local conditions.
C. The Building Official of the City of Temecula has determined that the
modifications to the 2022 California Building Code, California Mechanical Code,
California Plumbing Code, California Electrical Code, and California Residential
Code, referenced herein, are reasonably necessary due to local conditions.
D. Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.7 and 18941.5 require the City Council to
make express findings of the necessity for modifications to the building standards
contained in the Codes comprising the California Building Standards Code, as
referenced herein.
Section 2. Resolution.
A. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby expressly finds that the
amendments and modifications to the Temecula Municipal Code and the California
Building Code, California Mechanical Code, California Plumbing Code, California
Electrical Code, and California Residential Code, 2022 edition, contained in
Ordinance No. 2022-13, are reasonably necessary due to specific local climatic,
geological and/or topographical conditions as follows:
1. Climatic Conditions:
Generally Riverside County and the City of Temecula have an and climate. Annual
rainfall varies from 3 inches in Blythe to over 33 inches in Pine Cove. Hot, dry
Santa Ana winds are common to areas within Riverside County. These winds
constitute a contributing factor, which causes small fires originating in high -density
development presently being constructed in the County of Riverside and the City
of Temecula, which spread quickly and create the need for an increased level of
building and fire protection. This added protection, including, but not limited to
on -site protection, will supplement normal Fire Department response available in
new development, and provide immediate fire protection for life and safety of
multiple -occupancy occupants during fire occurrence
2. Topographical Conditions:
Traffic and circulation congested in urban areas often place Fire Department
response time to emergencies at risk. This condition makes the need for enhanced
on -site protection for property occupants necessary.
3. Geological Conditions:
The City of Temecula is located in an area near high seismic activity. Because of
the degree of the City's urbanization and close proximity to major fault lines, the
risk of structural damage and loss of life due to ground shaking is considerable.
During a major earthquake, emergency resources would be extremely taxed, and
the ability to respond to such emergencies would be complicated. Local standards
in excess of statewide minimums will assist in reducing risks associated with
earthquakes and the consequent disruption of traffic flow.
Section 3. Specific Amendments and References to Findings.
A. Based upon the local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions described
above, the City Council finds that the modifications to the 2022 California Building
Code, 2022 California Residential Code, 2022 California Electrical Code, 2022
California Mechanical Code and 2022 California Plumbing Code, all as contained
in Ordinance No. 2022-13, is reasonably necessary in order to protect and preserve
the public health, safety, and welfare.
California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that the modification
or change be expressly marked and identified as to which each finding refers.
Therefore, the City Council finds that the following table sets forth sections of the
2022 California Building Code, 2022 California Residential Code, 2022 California
Electrical Code, 2022 California Mechanical Code and 2022 California Plumbing
Code constituting building standards that have been modified pursuant to
Ordinance No. 2022-13, and the associated local climatic, geological and/or
topographical conditions described above in Section 2 supporting modification.
