6 155
residential rooftop solar energy system is stable and adequate to transfer all wind, seismic, and dead and live loads associated with the system to the building foundation; and
2. At the applicant's cost, verify to the applicant's reasonable satisfaction using standard electrical inspection techniques that the existing electrical system including existing line, load, ground and bonding wiring as well as main panel and subpanel sizes are adequately sized, based on the existing electrical system's current use, to carry all new photovoltaic electrical loads.
F. An application that satisfies the information requirements in the checklist, as determined by the building official, shall be deemed complete. Upon receipt of an incomplete application, the building official shall issue a written c01Tection notice detailing all deficiencies in the application and any additional information required to be eligible for expedited permit issuance.
G. A building official may require an applicant to apply for a use permit if the official finds, based on substantial evidence. that the solar energy system could have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health and safety. Such decisions may be appealed to the City Planning Commission. If a use permit is required, a building official may deny an application for the use permit if the official makes written findings based upon substantive evidence in the record that the proposed installation would have a specific, adverse impact upon public health or safety and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid, as defined, the adverse impact. Such findings shall include the basis for the rejection of the Attacl1m,:nt 4J1Bj GBSGj023 .. Volume 18
7 156
potential feasible alternative for preventing the adverse impact. Such decisions may be appealed to the City Planning Commission.
H. Any condition imposed on an application shall be designed to mitigate the specific, adverse impact upon health and safety at the lowest possible cost.
I. "A feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact" includes, but is not limited to, any cost-eflcctive method, condition, or mitigation imposed by the City on another similarly situated application in a prior successful application for a permit. The City shall use its best efforts to ensure that the selected method, condition, or mitigation meets the conditions of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (I) of subdivision (d) of Section 714 of the Civil Code defining restrictions that do not significantly increase the cost of the system or decrease its efficiency or specified perfonnance.
J. Upon confirmation by the building official of the application and supporting documentation being complete and meeting the requirements of the checklist, the building official shall administratively approve the application and issue all required permits or authorizations. Such approval does not authorize an applicant to connect the small residential rooftop energy system to the local utility provider's electricity grid. The applicant is responsible for obtaining such approval or permission from the local utility provider.
K. For a small residential rooftop solar eneq,,y system eligible for expedited review, only one inspection shall be required, which shall be done in a timely manner and may include a consolidated inspection by the building official and fire chief. If a small residential rooftop solar energy system fails inspection, a subsequent Attachment 4...{16] GBSC .. )023 .. .Volume IB

inspection is authorized; however, the subsequent inspection need not conform to the requirements of this subsection.

a. Nails are smooth-common, box or deformed shanks except where otherwise stated. Nails used for framing and sheathing connections are carbon steel and shall have minimum average bending yield strengths as shown: 80 ksi for shank diameter of
0.192 inch {20d common nail), 90 ksi for shank diameters larger than 0.142 inch but not larger than 0.177 inch, and 100 ksl for shank diameters of 0.142 inch or less. Connections using nails and staples of other materials, such as stainless steel, shall be designed by accepted engineering practice or approved under Section R104.11. b. RSRS-01 is a Roof Sheathing Ring Shank nail meeting the specifications in ASTM F1667. c. Nails shall be spaced at not more than 6 inches on center at all supports where spans are 48 inches or greater. d. Four-foot by 8-foot or 4-foot by 9-foot panels shall be applied vertically. e. Spacing offasteners not included in this table shall be based on Table R602.3(2). f. Forwood structural panel roof sheathing attached to gable end roof framing and to intermediate supports within 48 Inches of roof edges and ridges, nails shall be spaced at 4 inches on center where the ultimate design wind speed is less than 130 mph in Exposure B or greater than 110 mph in Exposure C.
g. Gypsum sheathing shall conform to ASTM C1396 and shall be installed In accordance with ASATM 1280 or GA 253. Fiberboard sheathing shall conform to ASTM C208.
h. Spacing of fasteners on floor sheathing panel edges applies to panel edges supported by framing members and required blocking and at floor perimeters only. Spacing of fasteners on roof sheathing panel edges applles to panel edges supported by framing members and required blocking. Blocking of roof or floor sheathing panel edges perpendicular to the framing members need not be provided except as required by other provisions of this code. Floor perimeter shall be supported by framing members or solid blocking.
i. Where a rafter is fastened to an adjacent parallel ceilingJoist in accordance with this schedule, provide two toe nails on one side of the rafter and toe nails from the ceiling joist to top plate in accordance with this schedule. The toe nail on the opposite side of the rafter shall not be required.
j. Use of staples In roof, floor, and braced wall panels shall be prohibited in Seismic Design Category Do, Di, or 02.
SECTION IB-53. Section R602.3.2 ol'Volume 1B of the Glendale Building and Safety Code, 2023, is hereby amended to read as follows:
R602.3.2 Top plate. Wood stud walls shall be capped with a double top plate installed to provide overlapping at corners and intersections with bearing partitions. End joints in top plates shall be offset at least 24 inches (610 mm). Joints in plates need not occur over studs.
Plates shall be not less than 2-inches (5 I mm) nominal thickness and have a width not less than the width of the studs.
Exception: In other than Seismic Design Category Do. D1 or D2, a single top plate used as an alternative to a double top plate shall comply with the following:
I. The single top plate shall be tied at corners, intersecting walls, and at in-line splices in straight wall lines in accordance with Table R602.3.2.
2. The rafters or joists shall be centered over the studs with a tolerance of not more than I inch (25mm).
