Agenda, regular meeting — Calistoga City Council, November 15, 2022 (part 2 of 2)

ANALYSIS
The City may adopt local amendments to the state codes where local conditions warrant morerestrictive regulations. However, the State has increased the level of regulation in the Fire Code and CalGreen by substantial margins – refer to Attachment 2 for a summary of significant changes in code from 2019 to 2022 in both the Fire Code and CalGreen. In the case of Calistoga, climatic, geographical and topographical conditions justify a more-restrictive code. These amendments are found in the draft building, residential and fire code sections of the ordinance. They are consistent with other neighboring jurisdictions and mostly carried over from the City’s last building standards code adoption in 2019. Please refer to Attachment 3 for a strikethrough draft illustrating additions, deletions and revisions to the 2019 code.

PRELIMINARY CODE REVIEW: On October 10, 2022, City Staff held a community meeting to review the proposed California Building Standards Code with local amendments as recommended by City staff, and recommended its adoption to the City Council, as shown in the attached draft ordinance.

ALTERNATIVES: If the City does not adopt the new state codes by January 1, 2023, the City would be required to apply them in their entirety, without any local amendments, when processing building and grading permit applications.

CONSISTENCY WITH CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:

Consistency with Goal 7: Enhance Calistoga’s small-town character by making it safe and attractive; and, Priority Project 7, Develop and adopt local fire codes that exceed County and State minimums, as appropriate, to protect life and property.

CEQA STATUS:

The proposed ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The adoption of the 2022 California Building Standards Codes will not have a fiscal impact on the City. The City’s building permit fees were last updated in 2017. Although no fee updates are proposed at this time, the Planning & Building Department are underway with a consultant to draft appropriate adjustments based on a nexus-based, fee-for-service model.

AND ADOPTING THE 2022 CALIFORNIA
BUILDING STANDARDS CODE, TITLE 24,

AS ADOPTED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE

BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION,

WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS
WHEREAS, the International Code Council publishes
model codes that provide jurisdictions such as the City of Calistoga with a complete set of model building-related regulations for adoption. These model codes are updated approximately every three years to reflect the development of improved building construction techniques; and
WHEREAS, in 2022, the California Building
Standards Commission completed the adoption and
approval of the California Building Standards Codes,
commonly referred to as Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, which are based on these model codes; and
WHEREAS, use of the most up-to-date codes is
necessary and proper to ensure uniformity in the
implementation of building regulations for new construction, alterations, repairs, demolition, maintenance, and use of any building or structure in the City of Calistoga; and
WHEREAS, the City’s codes were last updated on
November 16, 2019, when the City Council approved
Ordinance No. 753 adopting the 2019 California Building Standards Code and related family of codes; and
Item #8.2.

Page 192 of 303 ends

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 17958 of the
California Health and Safety Code, the governing body of the City of Calistoga, in its ordinance adopting the State Building Standards Code and uniform industry codes, may establish amendments which are more restrictive in nature than those regulations adopted by the State, and the City Council, based on materials presented and recommendations of the Building Official, Fire Chief, Planning and Building Director and the Calistoga Building Standards Advisory and Appeals Board, finds that it is necessary to make modifications to the California Building Standards Code and to adopt or not
adopt certain State Code appendices in order to best protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Calistoga, based on local climatic, geographical and/or topographical conditions. As such, the City Council finds that the following local conditions exist:

Climate - The city, on average, experiences an
approximate annual rainfall of 38 inches. During the
winter months, the city may experience periods of
heavy rain, which causes local flooding and erosion,
and contributes to slope instability. Winter storms are often accompanied by high winds, which uproot trees
and damage power lines. The city also experiences
periodic days of heavy fog, which can delay the
response time for fire-fighting apparatus, and prevent
the early discovery of structure fires.

Wind is a factor in the spread of fire in that burning
embers are carried to adjacent exposed areas.

Calistoga has a characteristic southerly wind, which
originates from the San Francisco Bay and becomes
a factor in the control of fires. Further, in the dry
season, Calistoga experiences an occasional north
wind of significant velocity, which is recognized by fire officials to be a significant concern with regard to fire spread.

During the dry period, temperatures can exceed 100
degrees. These temperatures are often accompanied
by low humidity, creating an extremely- hazardous fire
condition. With development spreading into
Calistoga’s brush-covered foothill areas, wind-driven
fires can have severe consequences, as has been
demonstrated on several occasions throughout the
state.

Geographical - The city is susceptible to seismic
hazards resulting from movement along several
Item #8.2.

Page 193 of 303 ends

known faults. The most serious direct earthquake
hazard threat is from the damage or collapse of
buildings and other structures due to ground
movement. In addition to damage caused by
earthquakes, there is a possibility of earthquakeinduced landslides. Fire is often the major form of damage resulting from earthquakes. Most
earthquake-induced fires start because of damage to
gas lines, power lines or heat producing appliances.

Such fires expose residential and other development
within the city to an increased risk of conflagration. In addition, unstable slopes have been identified in the
city, which present a significant potential for
landslides. In the event of a major earthquake or
landslide, many areas of the city may not be
accessible to emergency equipment and, if bridges or
roads are damaged, the city may be isolated from
outside assistance. Several areas within the city offer poor access for the delivery of public safety services
because of the severity of slopes and the existence of
natural barriers such as the Napa River and its
tributaries such as Garnett Creek and Cyrus Creek.

Topographical - The city’s borders include hilly terrain adjacent to the southwest portions of the city. The
roadways in these hills are designed around the lay of
the land and consequently are narrow, winding and
steep access ways. The grades of these roadways
sometimes exceed 25% and road widths of less than
12 feet are not uncommon. The Napa River and other
small waterways run directly through the city and
could impact emergency response during disasters.

The water supply within the city is directly affected by the topographical layout. The water distribution
system consists of pressure zones, which carry water
by gravity from various reservoirs. Water flow within
the city can vary from less than 100 gallons per
minute to flows in excess of 1,000 gallons per minute.

This wide variation causes major problems to
development as well as to fire suppression efforts.

The hilly terrain contributes to drainage, erosion and
slope instability problems for some development.

WHEREAS, on October 10, 2022, City Staff held a
community meeting to review the proposed California
Building Standards Code with local amendments as
recommended by City staff, and recommended its adoption to the City Council, recommended adoption of the 2022
Item #8.2.

Page 194 of 303 ends

California Building Standards Code, with local amendments; and

WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed and
considered this ordinance at a public hearing on November 1, 2022, noticed in accordance with state and local law, and which included written and oral staff reports, and comments received from the general public and interested agencies and parties.

Section 109.7 Re-inspections. A re-inspection
fee may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when

the provisions of this code, shall be subject to
penalties as prescribed by CMC Chapter 1.08. An
investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or
subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall
be at least equal to the minimum investigation fee
set forth in any adopted fee schedule and shall not
exceed five times the permit fee required by this

California Code of Regulations Title 24, Part 3: The
California Electrical Code, 2022 Edition, as published by National Fire Protection Agency, otherwise identified as the National Electrical Code, 2020 Edition, referred to as the “National Electrical Code” (NEC) is adopted and made a part of this Title by reference.

15.16.020 Electric vehicle charging stations
A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to promote
and encourage the use of electric vehicles by creating
an expedited, streamlined permitting process for
electric vehicle charging stations while promoting
public health and safety and preventing specific
adverse impacts in the installation and use of such
Item #8.2.

Page 213 of 303 ends

charging stations. This section is also intended to
comply with California Government Code Section
65850.7.

B. Definitions.

For the purposes of this section, the following words
and phrases shall be construed as defined in this
section:

1. “Electric vehicle charging station” or “charging
station” means any level of electric vehicle
supply equipment station that is designed and
built in compliance with Article 625 of the
California Electrical Code, as it reads on the
effective date of this section, and delivers
electricity from a source outside an electric
vehicle into a plug-in electric vehicle.

2. “Specific, adverse impact” means a significant,
quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact,
based on objective, identified, and written
public health or safety standards, policies, or
conditions as they existed on the date the
application was deemed complete.

3. “Electronic submittal” means the utilization of
one or more of the following:
a. Electronic mail or email.
b. The internet.
c. Facsimile.

C. Expedited Plan Check. Consistent with Government
Code Section 65850.7, the Building Official shall
implement an expedited, streamlined permitting
process for electric vehicle charging stations, and
adopt a checklist of all requirements with which
electric vehicle charging stations shall comply with in order to be eligible for expedited review. The
expedited, streamlined permitting process and
checklist may refer to the recommendations contained
in the most current version of the “Plug-In Electric
Vehicle Infrastructure Permitting Checklist” of the
“Zero-Emission Vehicles in California: Community
Readiness Guidebook” as published by the
Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. The
City’s adopted checklist shall be published on the
City’s website.

D. Permit Application Processing.

1. Prior to submitting an application for
Item #8.2.

Page 214 of 303 ends

processing, the applicant shall verify that the
installation of an electric vehicle charging
station will not have specific, adverse impact to
public health and safety and building
occupants. Verification by the applicant
includes but is not limited to: electrical system
capacity and loads; electrical system wiring,
bonding and overcurrent protection; building
infrastructure affected by charging station
equipment and associated conduits; areas of
charging station equipment and vehicle
parking.

2. A permit application that satisfies the
information requirements in the City’s adopted
checklist shall be deemed complete and be
promptly processed. Upon confirmation by the
Building Official that the permit application and
supporting documents meets the requirements
of the City-adopted checklist, and is consistent
with all applicable laws and health and safety
standards, the Building Official shall, consistent
with Government Code Section 65850.7,
approve the application and issue all
necessary permits. Such approval does not
authorize an applicant to energize or utilize the
electric vehicle charging station until the
associated building permit is finaled by the
City. If the Building Official determines that the
permit application is incomplete, they shall
issue a written correction notice to the
applicant, detailing all deficiencies in the
application and any additional information
required to be eligible for expedited permit
issuance.

3. Consistent with Government Code Section
65850.7, the Building Official shall allow for
electronic submittal of permit applications
covered by this section and associated
supporting documentations. In accepting such
permit applications, the Building Official shall
also accept electronic signatures on all forms,
applications, and other documentation in lieu of
a wet signature by any applicant.

E. Technical Review.

1. It is the intent of this section to encourage the
installation of electric vehicle charging stations
Item #8.2.

Page 215 of 303 ends

by removing obstacles to permitting for
charging stations so long as the action does
not supersede the Building Official’s authority
to address higher priority life-safety situations.

If the Building Official makes a finding based
on substantial evidence that the electric vehicle
charging station could have a specific adverse
impact upon the public health or safety, as
defined in this section, the City may require the
applicant to obtain approval of a use permit
pursuant to Chapter 17.40.

2. In the technical review of a charging station,
consistent with Government Code Section
65850.7, the Building Official shall not
condition the approval for any electric vehicle
charging station permit on the approval of such
a system by an association, as that term is
defined by Civil Code Section 4080.

Requirements.

1. Electric vehicle charging station equipment
shall meet the requirements of the California
Electrical Code, the Society of Automotive
Engineers, the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association, and accredited
testing laboratories such as Underwriters
Laboratories, and rules of the Public Utilities
Commission or a Municipal Electric Utility
Company regarding safety and reliability.
