Findings of fact and need for changes or modifications to the 2013 State Building Standards Code because of local conditions. A. Changes or Modifications. Pursuant to Section 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 of the State of California Health and Safety Code, the City of Redding adopts and amends the 2012 edition of the International Building Code, the 2012 edition of the Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes, and the 2011 National Electric Code and the 2013 State Building Standards Code as they pertain to the regulation of buildings and structures. B. Findings. Pursuant to Sections 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 of the State of California Health and Safety Code, the City of Redding has determined and finds the proposed changes or modifications are needed and are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, and topographic conditions. C. Local Conditions. Local conditions have an adverse effect on the potential for life and property loss, making necessary changes or modifications to the 20 I 3 California State Building Standards Code in order to establish and maintain an environment which will provide the community a desirable level of protection. Below are listed adverse local climatic, geological, and topographic conditions: 1 C) \ ~ LA C e e 1. Climatic. a. Precipitation. The, normal rainfall for the City of Redding is . approximately 33.6 inchesaimually. Winter storms are responsible for the heaviest intensity of precipitation, with two-thirds of the rain coming . between December and Match and 15 percent between April and June. . . The City typically experiences snow once or twice a year, with depth of less than a foot. Snow depths have attained 18" or more at least twice in the last 100 years. In both cases, there were building failures due to the weight of the snow. Snow in Redding is typically wet and is frequently rained upon. Drifting snows have not been an issue within the City. b. Temperature. . Summer sunshine is abundant in the Redding area, with over 39 days a year with temperatures of 100 degrees or higher. The Northern California valley sees approximately 200 days of clear skies, with May through September having temperature ranges between 95 and 115 degrees. Winter temperatures occasionally dip below freezing at night. 2. Geological and Topographic. a. The City of Redding is located in Shasta County in Northern California. It is approximately 100 miles south of the Oregon border and 160 miles north of Sacramento. Redding's population in 2010 was approximately 90,000, which makes Redding the largest city in Shasta County, along with being the largest city in California north of Sacramento. / The City encompasses approximately 61 square miles, was founded in 1872, and incorporated in 1887. Much of the downtown area is comprised of construction dating back to the late 1800s and the early 1900s. Soil conditions often consist of varying types of soils at different depths, leading to saturated soil conditions during winter rains and underground migration of water at all times of the year. b. The City consists of flat lands, hills, valleys, and ridges. The flatter areas are found in the' southeast portion of the City. Most of the existing commercial areas are on relatively flat land. \ Residential development occurs in the hilly areas on the west and northeast portions of the City. The majority of the hills in these areas have slopes ranging from 15 to 30 percent. The steeper slopes, west and north of the City, are planned {or open-space use. Elevations are varied within the City and' may be 500 feet to 1,000 feet above sea level. 2 e e c. The relatively young geological processes that have created earthquakes in California are also active today in Redding. The largest recorded earthquake in the Redding area occurred in 1940, at 5.7 on the Richter scale, and the last in 1998, with a 5.2 on the Richter scale. USGS seismic hazard mapping indicates probabilistic peak ground accelerations (PGA) of 16%g, 18%g, and 22%g on firm rock, soft rock, and alluvium site soil categories, respectively. Assuming a peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 18%g over the entire City, estimated building damage ratios of 6% for older structures located in the immediate downtown area of the City, and 3% for all other areas within the City, there is a 10% probability that the City will suffer an estimated $200 million in damage in the next 50 years (once every 475 years). D. Summary. The above local climatic, geologic, and topographic conditions create the potential for excessive water below building slabs, snow loads, and increased seismic hazards. There is a history of problems due to water migration up through floor slabs and into the interior space of buildings in the area as well as failures due to snow loads. As a result of this "findings of fact," which identifies the various climatic, geological, and topographical elements, the requirements established by the City of Redding within the adopted Redding City ordinances are considered "reasonable and necessary" based on the following: o Climatic, geologic, and topographical conditions necessitate the control of moisture migration into buildings. o Geologic conditions necessitate proper design for seismic accelerations. o Climatic conditions necessitate proper design criteria for snow loads. Conclusion Local climatic, geologic, and topographic conditions impact the built environment and necessitate amendments to .the California Building Standards Code. Therefore, it is found to be reasonably necessary that the State Building Standards Code be changed or modified to mitigate the effects of the above conditions. Furthermore, California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that the modification or change be expressly marked and identified as to each finding to which it refers. Therefore, the City of Redding finds that the following table provides code sections that have been modified pursuant to the ordinance that are building standards as defined in the Health and Safety Code Section 18909 and the associated referenced conditions or modifications due to local climatic, geological, and topographical reasons: 3 e e CBC SECTION No. LOCALC~IMATIC, GEOLOGICAL, AND TOPOGRAPHICAL..
