Agenda Item No. 4 November 4, 2025 | 1
City of La Palma
Agenda Item No. 4
MEETING DATE: November 4, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Trang Huynh, P.E., Building Official
AGENDA TITLE: Adoption of the 2025 Building Code Update RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt a Resolution setting forth findings with respect to local climatic, topographic and geographic conditions within the City of La Palma to allow certain modifications and changes to the California Building Code, Wildland Urban Interface Code, California Residential Code, and California Electric Code as amended by the State of California.

2. Adopt an Ordinance repealing Article III of Chapter 10 of the La Palma Municipal Code, and adding thereto a new Article III of Chapter 10 adopting by reference the 2025 Editions of the California Codes and related Model Codes which include the California Building, Residential, Energy, Green Building Standards, Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Wildland-Urban Interface Code, Existing Building Codes, the International Property Maintenance Code, and the Uniform Code for Abatement of Dangerous Building, with appendices and amendments thereto.

CEQA exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) [14 C.C.R. § 15061(b)(3)] SUMMARY:

On October 7, 2025, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing, introduced an Ordinance to update Article III of Chapter 10 of the La Palma Municipal Code adopting by reference the 2025 Editions of the California Codes and related Model Codes, and introduced a Resolution with findings to allow certain modifications and changes to the California Building Code, and related sections as amended by the State of California.

Government Code Section 50022.6 requires that certified copies of the uniform codes be maintained in the City Clerk’s office for at least fifteen (15) days prior to the public hearing and be available for public review; and, they should remain on file with the City Clerk for so long thereafter as the codes are in effect. Note that, after the Ordinance is adopted, the City Clerk may transfer to the “office of the chief enforcement officer” (i.e., the Chief Building Official) the responsibility to keep a copy of the Uniform Codes available for public inspection.

Agenda Item No. 4 November 4, 2025 | 2
Adoption of the California Building Standards Codes and local amendments is designed to provide consistency in the application and enforcement of building and housing standards, with a particular emphasis on local need. If the City Council determines not to adopt the proposed Ordinances, the California Building Standards Code without local amendments addressing the City of La Palma’s local conditions, would apply effective January 1, 2026. Adopting these Codes without local amendments would restrict the City’s ability to enforce safety requirements for life and property based on local conditions and the specific needs of the City of La Palma. Adoption of the proposed Ordinance incorporating the 2025 Edition of the California Building Code with local amendments will keep the City of La Palma in compliance with State law while allowing the City to properly address special local conditions.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA

PALMA, CALIFORNIA SETTING FORTH FINDINGS FOR
REQUIRED AMENDMENTS TO THE 2025 CALIFORNIA

BUILDING CODE, THE CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE, AND

THE CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE RELATIVE TO LOCAL

CLIMATIC, GEOTRAPHIC, OR TOPOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958 provides that the City of La Palma (“City”) shall adopt Ordinances and regulations imposing the same or modified or changed requirements as are contained in the regulations adopted by the State pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17922; and,
WHEREAS, the State of California is mandated by Health and Safety Code Section 17922 to impose the same requirements as are contained in the most recent edition of the California Building Code, the California Residential Code, and the California Electrical Code (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Codes”); and, WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5(a) permits the City to make modifications or changes to the Codes, which are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geographic or topographic conditions; and,
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that the City Council, before making any modifications or changes to the Codes, shall make an express finding that such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geographic or topographic conditions; and, WHEREAS, said changes have been prepared in a draft Ordinance attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by reference, amending Chapter 10 of the La Palma Municipal Code; and,
WHEREAS, the City of La Palma Community Development Department has recommended that changes and modifications be made to the Codes and have advised that certain said changes and modifications to the California Building Code, 2025 Edition, the California Residential Code, 2025 Edition, and the California Electrical Code, 2025 Edition, are reasonably necessary due to local conditions in the City of La Palma and have further advised that the remainder of said changes and modifications are of an administrative or procedural nature, or concern themselves with subjects not covered by the Codes or are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within the City of La Palma; and,
WHEREAS, amendments related to life and fire safety contained in Table 1505.1, Sections 1505.1.2, 1807.1.6, 3109.2 of the 2025 Edition of the California Building Code, and Table R301.2, Sections R902.1, R902.1.2, R902.2, and Appendix CI of the 2025 Edition of the California Residential Code, and Articles 310.106(B), 310.121, 690.13, 690.13 of the 2025 Edition of the California Electrical Code as recommended by the La

Palma Community Development Department are hereby found to be reasonably necessary due to the following local conditions identified in Section 1 below.

WHEREAS, all of the changes and modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City and were in effect as of September 30, 2025. NO NEW TECHNICAL CODE AMENDMENTS ARE ADDED OR AMENDED AT THIS TIME.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Palma that the above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference and that pursuant to the requirements of Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7, the City Council finds and determines there is a need to adopt the changes or modifications to the California Building Standards Codes because of local climatic, topographical, and geological conditions as follows:

SECTION 1: Changes and modifications to the Code adopted by the City of La Palma as recommended by the La Palma Community Development Department are hereby found to be reasonably necessary due to the following general findings of local climatic, geographical or topographical conditions:

I. Climatic Conditions
A. Hot, dry Santa Ana winds are common to all areas within the City of La Palma and Orange County in general. These winds, which can cause small fires which spread quickly, are a contributing factor to the high fire danger in the area, and create the need for an increased level of fire protection. This added protection will supplement normal fire department response available and provide immediate protection for life and safety of multiple occupancy occupants during fire occurrences.

B. Orange County and the City of La Palma are in a semi-arid Mediterranean type climate which predisposes all fuels, including wood shingles, to rapid ignition and spread of fire. Therefore, there exists a need for additional fire protection measures.

C. The warm, dry climate is conducive to swimming pools which creates a higher probability of child drownings where pools are unprotected.

II. Geographic Conditions
A. Orange County and the City of Palma are in a high seismically active area. There are earthquake faults that run along both the northeastern and southwestern boundaries of Orange County. The Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone (NIFZ) which runs through Orange County was the source of the destructive 1933 Long Beach earthquake (6.3 magnitude, hypocenter off Newport Beach coast), which took 120 lives, with areas damaged from Laguna Beach to Marina del Rey and inland to

Resolution No. 2025-43

Page 3 of 6 ends

Whittier, and poses one of the greatest hazards to lives and property in the nation.

Regional planning for reoccurrence is recommended by the State of California, Department of Conservation. There was also an earthquake in December 1989, with the epicenter located near the City of Irvine. The fault on which this quake occurred was unknown prior to this activity. The October 17, 1989, Santa Cruz earthquake resulted in only one major San Francisco fire in the Marina district, but when combined with the 34 other fires and over 500 responses, the department was taxed to its full capabilities. The Marina fire was difficult to contain because mains supplying water to the district burst during the earthquake. If more fires had been ignited by the earthquake, it would have been difficult for the fire department to contain them. Experts predict a major earthquake in our area within the next 50 years. This situation creates the need for both additional fire protection measures and automatic on-site fire protection for building occupants since a multitude of fires may result from breakage of gas and electric lines as a result of an earthquake. As noted by “Planning Scenario on a Major Earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone, 1988, State Department of Conservation,” page 59, “unfortunately, barely meeting the minimum earthquake standards of building codes places a building on the verge of being legally unsafe.” B. Traffic and circulation congestion presently existing in the City of La Palma often places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk. This condition will be exacerbated by any major disaster, including any earthquake wherein damage to the highway system will occur. This condition makes the need for additional onsite protection for property occupants necessary.

C. Untreated wood roofs cause or contribute to serious fire hazard and to the rapid spread of fires when such fires are accompanied by high winds. Pieces of burning wooden roofs become flying brands and are carried by the wind to other locations and thereby spread fire quickly. Past Grand Jury Report findings support this concern.

The aforementioned amendments have been incorporated in detail in Ordinance No. 2025-02 adopting the 2025 Editions of the California Technical Codes.

SECTION 2. The La Palma Community Development Department shall file copies of Resolution No. 2025-43 and Ordinance No. 2025-02 with the California Building Standards Commission as required by Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7(a).

SECTION 3. If any provision, clause, word, sentence, or phrase in this Resolution is for any reason held invalid, unconstitutional, or otherwise unlawful, such holding shall not affect the other provisions, clauses, words, sentences, phrases, or applications of the provisions of this Resolution which can be given effect without the unconstitutional, invalid, or unlawful provision, clause, word, sentence, phrase, or application. To this end, the provisions of this Resolution are hereby declared to be severable, and the City Council declares that it would have adopted each provision, clause, word, sentence, or phrase of this Resolution irrespective of the fact that any one or more clauses, words, sentences, phrases, or applications thereof be declared unconstitutional, invalid, or otherwise unlawful.

SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Resolution which shall be published and shall take effect as provided by law.

APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of La Palma at a regular meeting held on the 4th day of November 2025.

MEETING DATE: November 4, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Trang Huynh, P.E., Building Official
AGENDA TITLE:

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt an Ordinance repealing Article II of Chapter 16 of the City of La Palma Municipal Code, and adding thereto a new Article II of Chapter 16 adopting by reference the 2025 Edition of the California Fire Code with appendices and amendments thereto; and

2. Adopt a Resolution setting forth findings with respect to local climatic, topographic and geographic conditions within the City of La Palma to allow certain modifications and changes to the California Fire Code.

CEQA exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) [14 C.C.R. § 15061(b)(3)] SUMMARY:

On October 7, 2025, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing, introduced an Ordinance to update Article II of Chapter 16 of the La Palma Municipal Code adopting by reference the 2025 Editions of the California Fire Code with appendices and amendments thereto, and introduced a Resolution with findings with respect to local climatic, topographic and geographic conditions within the City of La Palma to allow certain modifications and changes to the California Fire Code.

The State of California amends and adopts a model fire code every three years (Triennial Code Adoption Cycle). The 2025 California Fire Code (CFC), referred to as Title 24 Part 9 of the California Code of Regulations, will formally take effect on January 6, 2026. The City adopts the CFC with any amendments for local conditions before the end of the year in order for the amendments to be effective.

The proposed Ordinance adopts the 2025 Edition of the California Fire Code, with certain amendments, additions, and deletions. The CFC sets the minimum fire code requirements for fire and life-safety issues statewide. Any city, county or fire protection district may establish more restrictive standards than those contained in the California Fire Code, or make changes and amendments if the

Page 92 of 354 ends

Agenda Item No. 5 November 4, 2025 | 2
amendments are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. The Orange County Fire Authority )OCFA) has recommended amendments to the CFC based on local conditions for the greater Orange County area. For the most part, the changes to the 2025 CFC are a carryover of amendments and updates made to the previously adopted 2022 code.

The City Council must first adopt the Resolution of findings for local conditions before taking action on the Ordinance, which contains amendments to the CFC. A Resolution setting forth findings for modifications and changes to the CFC because of local conditions is provided as Attachment 1.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-44

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA

PALMA, CALIFORNIA SETTING FORTH FINDINGS FOR
REQUIRED AMENDMENTS TO THE 2025 EDITION OF THE

CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE RELATIVE TO LOCAL CLIMATIC,

TOPOGRAPHIC, AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
WHEREAS, Public Resources Code Section 4117 independently authorizes cities to enact local fire protection ordinances which “may be more restrictive than state statutes in order to meet local fire hazard conditions;” and,
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5 provides that cities retain the police power under the California Constitution to enact more stringent building standards which cities find reasonably necessary due to local conditions; and, WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958 provides that the City of La Palma (“City”) shall adopt ordinances and regulations imposing the same or modified or changed requirements as are contained in the regulations adopted by the State pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17922; and,
WHEREAS, the State of California has mandated by Health and Safety Code Section 17922 that cities impose the same requirements as are contained in the most recent edition of the California Fire Code; and,
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5(a) permits the City to make modifications or changes to the California Fire Code, which are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic, or topographic conditions; and, WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that the City Council, before making any modifications or changes to the California Fire Code, shall make an express finding that such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic, or topographic conditions; and, WHEREAS, the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) has recommended that changes and modifications be made to the 2025 California Fire Code and that said changes and modifications to the 2025 California Fire Code are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property due to local conditions in the City of La Palma, or are of an administrative or procedural nature, or concern themselves with subjects not covered by the Code and therefore need not be supported by such findings; and,
WHEREAS, said changes have been prepared in a draft Ordinance attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by reference, amending Chapter 16 of the La Palma Municipal Code; and,
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department concurs with the recommended changes and modifications to the California Fire Code and has advised that

Page 94 of 354 ends

Resolution No. 2025-44

Page 2 of 8 ends

certain of said changes and modifications to the California Fire Code are reasonably necessary due to local conditions in the City of La Palma and has further advised that the remainder of said 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 of La Palma.

WHEREAS, all of the changes and notifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the city and were in effect as of September 30,2025. no new technical amendments are added at this time.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of La Palma hereby resolves as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendments related to life and fire safety contained in the 2025 Edition of the California Fire Code as recommended by the Orange County Fire Authority are hereby found to be reasonably necessary due to the following local conditions:

I. Climatic Conditions
A. Orange County is located in a semi-arid Mediterranean type climate. It annually experiences extended periods of high temperatures with little or no precipitation. Hot, dry (Santa Ana) winds, which may reach speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater, are also common to the area. These climatic conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and common building materials. 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 County. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, streetlights and utility poles will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene.

B. The climate alternates between extended periods of drought and brief flooding conditions. Flood conditions may affect the Orange County Fire Authority’s ability to respond to a fire or emergency condition. Floods also disrupt utility services to buildings and facilities within the County.

C. 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.

Page 95 of 354 ends

Resolution No. 2025-44

Page 3 of 8 ends

D. These dry climatic conditions and winds 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.

II. Topographical conditions
A. Natural; slopes of 15 percent or greater generally occur throughout the foothills of Orange County. The elevation change caused by the hills creates the geological foundation on which communities with Orange County is built and will continue to build. With much of the populated flatlands already built upon, future growth will occur on steeper slopes and with greater constraints in terrain.

B. Traffic and circulation congestion is an artificially created, obstructive topographical condition, which is common throughout Orange County.

C. These topographical conditions combine to create a situation that 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.

III. Geological Conditions
The Orange County region is a densely populated area that has buildings constructed over and near a vast and complex network of faults that are believed to be capable of producing future earthquakes similar or greater in size than the 1994 Northridge and the 1971 Sylmar earthquakes. Earthquake faults run along the northeast and southwest boundaries of Orange County.

The Newport-Inglewood Fault, located within Orange County was the source of the destructive 1933 Long Beach earthquake (6.3 magnitude) which took 120 lives and damaged buildings in an area from Laguna Beach to Marina Del Rey to Whittier. In December 1989, another earthquake occurred in the jurisdiction of Irvine at an unknown fault line. Regional planning for reoccurrence of earthquakes is recommended by the state of California, Department of Conservation.

A. 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

Page 96 of 354 ends

Resolution No. 2025-44

Page 4 of 8 ends

create obstacles similar to those indicated under the high wind section above. The October 17, 1989, Santa Cruz earthquake resulted in one major fire in the Marina District (San Francisco). When combined with the 34 other fires locally and over 500 responses, the department was taxed to its fullest capabilities. The Marina fire was difficult to contain because mains supplying water to the district burst during the earthquake. This situation creates the need for both additional fire protection and automatic on-site fire protection for building occupants.

State Department of Conservation noted in their 1988 report (Planning Scenario on a Major Earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone, page 59), “unfortunately, barely meeting the minimum earthquake standards of building codes places a building on the verge of being legally unsafe.”
B. Road circulation features located throughout the County also make amendments reasonably necessary. Located through the County are major roadways, highways and flood control channels that create barriers and slow response times. Hills, slopes, street and storm drain design, accompanied by occasional heavy rainfall, causes roadway flooding and landslides and at times may make an emergency access route impassable. There are areas in Orange County that naturally have extended emergency response times that exceed the 5-minute goal.

C. Soils throughout the County possess corrosive properties that reduce the expected usable life of water services when metallic pipes are in contact with soils.

Due to the topographical conditions of sprawling development separated by waterways and narrow and congested streets and the expected infrastructure damage inherent in seismic zones described above, 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) resources available for a given structure. Additional fire protection is also justified to match the current resources of firefighting equipment and personnel within the Orange County Fire Authority.
