State law requires that the City of National City adopt the same standard codes as the State of California and limit technical amendments to those necessitated by local topographical, geographical, or climatic conditions. Specific findings regarding local technical amendments must be made by the local jurisdiction and filed with the Department of Housing and Community Development. State law does not restrict local amendments to the administrative provisions of the codes. In order to simplify construction in National City, the standard codes were adopted with minimal revisions.
