SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 4 BUILDING

REGULATIONS OF THE NEWMAN MUNICIPAL CODE, AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE, THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS TITLE 24, 2025 EDITION OF THE CA BUILDING

STANDARDS CODE
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Conduct Public Hearing

2. Conduct Second Reading of Ordinance No. 2025- , amending Title 4 Building Regulations of the Newman Municipal Code, and adopting by reference, The California Code of Regulations Title 24, 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code with amendments.

3. Adopt said Ordinance and authorize staff to publish a summary of said ordinance.

BACKGROUND:

The model Building Code is updated every three years. This allows the Code to improve and adjust to the newest materials, methods of construction, and technological advances in the industry. The city previously updated the Building Code in October 2022, and on September 9, 2025, the City Council was presented with and subsequently held the first reading and introduction of this Ordinance.

ANALYSIS:

The California Building Standards Commission's adoption of the 2025 Code comes after a comprehensive multistate agency and stakeholder update of the 2022 Building Code.

The objective is to produce a practical building code that ensures public safety while implementing the most efficient technology available to conserve the state's natural resources and energy use. California's building code is applicable to virtually every commercial and residential structure in the state.

The new 2025 California Building Standards Code contains thirteen parts that incorporate public health, life safety, and general welfare standards used in the design and construction of buildings in California. These parts incorporate the latest national standards in the International Building, Residential and Fire Codes, California Green Building Code, California Energy Code, National Electrical Code, and the Uniform Mechanical and Plumbing Codes. Along with the usual Energy and Green code updates, below are a few noteworthy updates:
• New Part 7 standalone code book for Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), was Chapter 7 A in the CBC. • The Energy and Green codes continue to expand Electric Vehicle Charging requirements to install EV charging infrastructure, including receptacles and chargers, to new multifamily dwellings, single-family homes, hotels, and motels.
• Electric-Ready Buildings: The code encourages electric-ready buildings to facilitate future adoption of cleaner electric technologies for cooking and water heating.

Health and Safety Code Section 18 941.5 mandates that the Building Standards contained in the 2025 California Building Standards Code shall be effective 180 days after publication by the California Building Standards Commission. Should these codes not be adopted by ordinance, they become effective by default without any amendments. The proposed effective date for the City of Newman will be January 1, 2026. As part of the adoption process, this Department has made every effort to notify all affected parties of the proposed changes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

CONCLUSION:

In an effort to keep our City Code up to date with State regulations, staff recommends the council adopt the proposed ordinance amending Title 4 of the Newman Municipal Code and authorize staff to publish a summary of said Ordinance.

Agenda Item: 9. a.

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Ordinance No. 2025- ,

4.05.023 Relocation permits - Issuance of permit denied.

No permit shall be issued to relocate any building or structure which in the opinion of the Planning Commission is so constructed or in such condition as to be dangerous; or which is infested with pests or unsanitary; or which, if it be a dwelling or habitation, is unfit for human habitation; or which is so dilapidated, defective, unsanitary or in such a condition of deterioration or disrepair that its relocation at the proposed site would be materially detrimental to the property or improvements in the district within a radius of 300 feet from the proposed site; or if the proposed use is prohibited by the zoning laws of the City; or if the structure is of a type prohibited, at the proposed location, by any fire district ordinance, or by any other law or ordinance; provided, however, that if the condition of the building or structure in the judgment of the Planning Commission admits of practicable and effective repair, the permit may be issued subject to appropriate conditions as hereinafter provided. If the unlawful, dangerous or defective condition of the building or structure proposed to be relocated is such that remedy or correction cannot practicably and effectively be made, the permit shall be denied. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8- 2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-9 § 2, 10-28-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att. A), 11-12-2013; Ord. 2010-7 § 1 (Att.

4.05.025 Relocation permits - Bond required.

A. No relocation permit shall be issued by the Planning Director unless the applicant therefor shall first post with the City a bond executed by the owner of the premises where the building or structure is to be located, as principal, and a surety company, authorized to do business in this State, as surety. The bond, which shall be in form joint and several, shall name the City as obligee and shall be in an amount equal to the cost plus 50 percent of the work required to be done in order to comply with all of the conditions of such relocation permit, as such cost is estimated by the Director of Public Works, City Engineer and/or City Manager. In lieu of a surety bond, the applicant may post a bond executed by said owner, as principal, and which is secured by a deposit in cash in the amount named above and conditioned as required in the case of a surety bond; such a bond as so secured is hereafter called a "cash bond" for the purposes of this chapter.

B. Any bond executed pursuant to any provision of this chapter shall contain a provision indemnifying and saving harmless the City and each officer or employee thereof from any loss or liability arising out of or resulting from any of the acts done pursuant to the provisions of any such bond or permit. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-9 § 2, 10-28-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att.

4.05.026 Relocation permits - Conditions of bond.

Every bond posted pursuant to this chapter shall be conditioned as follows:

A. That each and all of the terms and conditions of the relocation permit shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Directors of Planning, Public Works and/or City Engineer.

B. That all of the work required to be done pursuant to the conditions of the relocation permit shall be fully performed and completed within the time limit specified in the relocation permit; or, if no time limit is specified, within 90 days after the date of the issuance of the house mover's permit elsewhere in this chapter provided for. The time limit herein specified, or the time limit specified in any permit, may be extended for good and sufficient causes by the Director of Public Works. No such extension of time shall be valid unless written and no such extension shall release any surety upon any bond. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016- 4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-9 § 2, 10-28-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att. A), 11-12-2013; Ord. 2010-7 § 1 (Att. A), 10-12-2010; Ord. 2007-10 § 1, 11-27-2007)

4.05.027 Relocation permits - Default in performance of conditions.

A. Whenever the Directors of Planning, Public Works and/or City Engineer shall find that a default has occurred in the performance of any term or condition of any permit, written notice thereof shall be given to the principal and to the surety of the bond.

B. Such notice shall state the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof, and the period of time deemed by the Directors of Planning, Public Works and/or City Engineer to be reasonably necessary for the completion of such work.

C. After receipt of such notice, the surety must, within the time therein specified, either cause the required work to be performed or, failing therein, must pay over to the City the estimated cost of doing the work as set forth in the notice, plus an additional sum equal to 10 percent of the said estimated cost. Upon the receipt of such moneys, the City shall proceed by such mode it deems convenient to cause the required work to be performed and completed, but no liability shall be insured therein other than for the expenditure of the said sum in hand therefor.

D. If a cash bond has been posted, notice of default as provided above shall be given to the principal and if compliance is not had within the time specified, the City shall proceed without delay and without further notice or proceedings whatever to use the cash deposit, or any portion of such deposit, to cause the required work to be done by contractor or otherwise in the discretion of the City Manager or his/her designee. The balance, if any, of such cash deposit shall, upon the completion of the work, be returned to the depositor, or to his successors or assigns, after deducting the cost of the work plus 10 percent thereof. If upon investigation or failure to secure offers or bids The Newman City Code is current through Ordinance 2024-4, passed December 10, 2024.

Chapter 4.05 MOVING BUILDINGS
to do said work, it appears that the cash deposit is not adequate to complete the same, the Director of Public Works shall report the facts to the City Council for such action as it shall order after due investigation.

E. When any default has occurred on the part of the principal under the preceding provisions, the surety shall have the option, in lieu of completing the work required, to demolish the building or structure and to clear, clean and restore the site. If the surety defaults, the Director of Public Works shall report the facts to the City Council for its order, which order may include all actions herein placed in the power of the surety. The City Council may, at its discretion, bring suit against the surety and principal and such other defendants as it may be advised to obtain a judgment authorizing demolishing the building or structure or for such other remedies as the court shall decree.

Costs of such proceeding shall be paid by the principal and surety and other defendants as the court may decree. Any building or structure maintained after default shall constitute a public nuisance and be subject to abatement as such.

F. In the event of any default in the performance of any term or condition of the relocation permit, the surety, or any person employed or engaged on its behalf, shall have the right to go upon the premises to complete the required work or to remove or to demolish the building or structure.

G. No person shall interfere with or obstruct the ingress or egress to or from any such premises by any authorized representative or agent of any surety engaging in the work of completing, demolishing or removing a building or structure for which a relocation permit has been issued after a default has occurred in the performance of the terms or conditions thereof. The provisions of this subsection as well as all subsections of this section shall also extend to representatives of the City. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att.

The Legislature of the State of California has in Government Code Sections 65302, 65560, and 65800 conferred upon local government units authority to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. Therefore, the City Council of the City of Newman does hereby adopt the following floodplain management regulations. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-4 § 2 (Att. A), 6-10-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att. A), 11-12-2013; Ord.

4.11.020 Findings of fact.

A. The flood hazard areas of the City of Newman are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare.

B. These flood losses are caused by uses that are inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or protected from flood damage. The cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazard which increase flood heights and velocities also contributes to the flood loss. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-4 § 2 (Att. A), 6-10-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att. A), 11-12-2013; Ord. 2010-7 § 1 (Att.

4.11.030 Statement of purpose.

It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to:

A. Protect human life and health;
B. Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects; C. Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
D. Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
E. Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains; electric, telephone and sewer lines; and streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard; F. Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future blighted areas caused by flood damage; G. Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard; and H. Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-4 § 2 (Att. A), 6-10-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att. A), 11-12-2013; Ord. 2010-7 § 1 (Att. A), 10-12-2010; Ord. 2007-10 § 1, 11-27-2007; Ord. 2000-4 § 1.3, 9-12-2000; Ord. 95-1, 3-28-1995)

4.11.040 Methods of reducing flood losses.

In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions to:

A. Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or flood heights or velocities; B. Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
C. Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters;
D. Control filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood damage; and E. Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord.

Article II. Definitions

4.11.050 Definitions.

Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases used in this chapter shall be interpreted so as to give them the meaning they have in common usage and to give this chapter its most reasonable application. "Accessory use" means a use which is incidental and subordinate to the principal use of the parcel of land on which it is located. For floodplain management purposes, the term includes only accessory structures used for parking and storage.
"Alluvial fan" means a geomorphologic feature characterized by a cone- or fan-shaped deposit of boulders, gravel, and fine sediments that have been eroded from mountain slopes, transported by flood flows, and then deposited on the valley floors, and which is subject to flash flooding, high velocity flows, debris flows, erosion, sediment movement and deposition, and channel migration.
"Apex" means the point of highest elevation on an alluvial fan, which on undisturbed fans is generally the point where the major stream that formed the fan emerges from the mountain front. "Appeal" means a request for a review of the Floodplain Administrator's interpretation of any provision of this chapter.
"Area of shallow flooding" means a designated AO or AH Zone on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The base flood depths range from one to three feet; a clearly defined channel does not exist; the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate; and velocity flow may be evident. Such flooding is characterized by ponding or sheet flow.

Area of Special Flood Hazard. See "special flood hazard area (SFHA)." "Base flood" means a flood which has a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (also called the "100-year flood"). "Base flood" is the term used throughout this chapter. "Basement" means any area of the building having its floor subgrade - i.e., below ground level - on all sides.

Building. See "structure."
"Development" means any manmade change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, temporary structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations or storage of equipment or materials, flood control projects, and other land-disturbing activities. "Encroachment" means the advance or infringement of uses, plant growth, fill, excavation, buildings, permanent structures or development into a floodplain which may impede or alter the flow capacity of a floodplain. "Existing manufactured home park or subdivision" means a manufactured home park or subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including, at a minimum, the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads) is completed before September 29, 1978.
"Expansion to an existing manufactured home park or subdivision" means the preparation of additional sites by the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads). "Flood," "flooding," or "flood water" means:

The Newman City Code is current through Ordinance 2024-4, passed December 10, 2024.

Newman City Code Page 31/85
Chapter 4.11 FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT

1. A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry land areas from the overflow of inland or tidal waters; the unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source; and/or mudslides (i.e., mudflows); and

2. The condition resulting from flood-related erosion.
"Flood Boundary and Floodway Map (FBFM)" means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazard and the floodway.
"Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM)" means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated the areas of flood hazards. "Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)" means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazard and the risk premium zones applicable to the community.
"Flood Insurance Study" means the official report provided by the Federal Insurance Administration that includes flood profiles, the Flood Insurance Rate Map, the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map, and the water surface elevation of the base flood.
"Floodplain" or "flood-prone area" means any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source.

See "flooding."
"Floodplain Administrator" is the individual appointed to administer and enforce the floodplain management regulations.
"Floodplain management" means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood damage and preserving and enhancing, where possible, natural resources in the floodplain, including but not limited to emergency preparedness plans, flood control works, floodplain management regulations, and open space plans.
"Floodplain management regulations" means this chapter and other zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, health regulations, special purpose ordinances (such as grading and erosion control) and other application of police power which control development in flood-prone areas. This term describes Federal, State or local regulations in any combination thereof which provide standards for preventing and reducing flood loss and damage.
"Floodproofing" means any combination of structural and nonstructural additions, changes, or adjustments to structures which reduce or eliminate flood damage to real estate or improved real property, water and sanitary facilities, structures, and their contents. (Refer to FEMA Technical Bulletins TB 1, TB 3, and TB 7 for guidelines on dry and wet floodproofing.)
"Floodway" means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot.

Also referred to as "regulatory floodway."
"Flood way fringe" is that area of the floodplain on either side of the "regulatory flood way" where encroachment may be permitted when it is demonstrated that no rise in the BFE will occur. "Fraud and victimization" as related to Article VI, Variance Procedure, of this chapter means that the variance granted must not cause fraud on or victimization of the public. In examining this requirement, the Newman City Council will consider the fact that every newly constructed building adds to government responsibilities and remains a part of the community for 50 to 100 years. Buildings that are permitted to be constructed below the base flood elevation are subject during all those years to increased risk of damage from floods, while future owners of the property and the community as a whole are subject to all the costs, inconvenience, danger, and suffering that those increased flood damages bring. In addition, future owners may purchase the property, unaware that it is subject to potential flood damage, and can be insured only at very high flood insurance rates.

Chapter 4.11 FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT
"Functionally dependent use" means a use which cannot perform its intended purpose unless it is located or carried out in close proximity to water. The term includes only docking facilities, port facilities that are necessary for the loading and unloading of cargo or passengers, and ship building and ship repair facilities, and does not include longterm storage or related manufacturing facilities. "Governing body" is the local governing unit, i.e., county or municipality, that is empowered to adopt and implement regulations to provide for the public health, safety and general welfare of its citizenry. "Hardship" as related to Article VI, Variance Procedure, of this chapter means the exceptional hardship that would result from a failure to grant the requested variance. The City Council requires that the variance be exceptional, unusual, and peculiar to the property involved. Mere economic or financial hardship alone is not exceptional.

Inconvenience, aesthetic considerations, physical handicaps, personal preferences, or the disapproval of one's neighbors likewise cannot, as a rule, qualify as an exceptional hardship. All of these problems can be resolved through other means without granting a variance, even if the alternative is more expensive or requires the property owner to build elsewhere or put the parcel to a different use than originally intended. "Highest adjacent grade" means the highest natural elevation of the ground surface prior to construction next to the proposed walls of a structure.
"Historic structure" means any structure that is:

I. Listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places (a listing maintained by the Department of the Interior) or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior as meeting the requirements for individual listing on the National Register;

2. Certified or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior as contributing to the historical significance of a registered historic district or a district preliminarily determined by the Secretary to qualify as a registered historic district;

3. Individually listed on a State inventory of historic places in states with historic preservation programs which have been approved by the Secretary of the Interior; or

4. Individually listed on a local inventory of historic places in communities with historic preservation programs that have been certified either by an approved State program as determined by the Secretary of the Interior or directly by the Secretary of the Interior in states without approved programs. "Levee" means a manmade structure, usually an earthen embankment, designed and constructed in accordance with sound engineering practices to contain, control or divert the flow of water so as to provide protection from temporary flooding.
"Levee system" means a flood protection system which consists of a levee, or levees, and associated structures, such as closure and drainage devices, which are constructed and operated in accord with sound engineering practices. "Lowest floor" means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area, including basement (see "basement").

1. An unfinished or flood-resistant enclosure below the lowest floor that is usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage in an area other than a basement area is not considered a building's lowest floor provided it conforms to applicable nonelevation design requirements, including, but not limited to:
a. The wet floodproofing standard in NCC 4. l 1.170(C)(3); b. The anchoring standards in NCC 4.11. l 70(A);
c. The construction materials and methods standards in NCC 4.11.170(B); and d. The standards for utilities in NCC 4.11.180.

Newman City Code Page 33/85
Chapter 4.11 FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT

2. For residential structures, all subgrade enclosed areas are prohibited as they are considered to be basements (see "basement"). This prohibition includes below-grade garages and storage areas. "Manufactured home" means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when attached to the required utilities. The term "manufactured home" does not include a recreational vehicle. "Manufactured home park or subdivision" means a parcel (or contiguous parcels) of land divided into two or more manufactured home lots for rent or sale.
"Market value" means the price at which a property will change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither party being under compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. As used in these regulations, the term refers to the market value of buildings and structures, excluding the land and other improvements on the parcel. Market value may be established by one of the following methods:

1. Actual cash value (replacement cost depreciated for age and quality of construction);

2. Tax assessment value adjusted to approximate market value by a factor provided by the property appraiser; or

3. A qualified independent appraiser.
"Mean sea level" means, for purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program, the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 or other datum, to which base flood elevations shown on a community's Flood Insurance Rate Map are referenced.
"New construction," for floodplain management purposes, means structures for which the "start of construction" commenced on or after September 29, 1978, and includes any subsequent improvements to such structures. "New manufactured home park or subdivision" means a manufactured home park or subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including, at a minimum, the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads) is completed on or after September 29, 1978. "Obstruction" includes, but is not limited to, any dam, wall, wharf, embankment, levee, dike, pile, abutment, protection, excavation, channelization, bridge, conduit, culvert, building, wire, fence, rock, gravel, refuse, fill, structure, vegetation or other material in, along, across or projecting into any watercourse which may alter, impede, retard or change the direction and/or velocity of the flow of water, or due to its location, its propensity to snare or collect debris carried by the flow of water, or its likelihood of being carried downstream.

One-Hundred-Year Flood or 100-Y ear Flood. See "base flood." "Public safety and nuisance" as related to Article VI, Variance.Procedure, of this chapter means that the granting of a variance must not result in anything which is injurious to safety or health of an entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, or unlawfully obstructs the free passage or use, in the customary manner, of any navigable lake or river, bay, stream, canal, or basin. "Recreational vehicle" means a vehicle which is:

1. Built on a single chassis;

2. Four hundred square feet or less when measured at the largest horizontal projection;

3. Designed to be self-propelled or permanently towable by a light-duty truck; and

4. Designed primarily not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use.

Newman City Code Page 34/85
Chapter 4.11 FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT
"Regulatory floodway" means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot.
"Remedy a violation" means to bring the structure or other development into compliance with State or local floodplain management regulations, or, if this is not possible, to reduce the impacts of its noncompliance. Ways that impacts may be reduced include protecting the structure or other affected development from flood damages, implementing the enforcement provisions of the ordinance or otherwise deterring future similar violations, or reducing State or Federal financial exposure with regard to the structure or other development. "Riverine" means relating to, formed by, or resembling a river (including tributaries), stream, brook, etc.

Sheet Flow Area. See "area of shallow flooding."
"Special flood hazard area (SFHA)'' means an area in the floodplain subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year. It is shown on an FHBM or FIRM as Zone A, AO, Al -A30, AE, A99, or AH. "Start of construction" includes substantial improvement and other proposed new development and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days from the date of the permit. The "actual start" means either the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of slabs or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation; or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading, and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement, the "actual start of construction" means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.
"Structure" means a walled and roofed building that is principally above ground; this includes a gas or liquid storage tank or a manufactured home.
"Substantial damage" means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before-damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.
"Substantial improvement" means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other proposed new development of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the start of construction of the improvement. This term includes structures which have incurred substantial damage, regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not, however, include either:

1. Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of State or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions; or

2. Any alteration of an historic structure; provided, that the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic structure.
"Variance" means a grant of relief from the requirements of this chapter which permits construction in a manner that would otherwise be prohibited by this chapter.
"Violation" means the failure of a structure or other development to be fully compliant with this chapter. A structure or other development without the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance required in this chapter is presumed to be in violation until such time as that documentation is provided.

Chapter 4.11 FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT
effect of the proposed development when combined with all other existing and anticipated development will increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point.

5. Inspections, in General. Development for which a permit for floodplain development is required shall be subject to inspection. Approval as a result of an inspection shall not be construed to be an approval of a violation of the provisions of these regulations or the building code. Inspections presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of these regulations or the building code or other ordinances shall not be valid. a. Inspections of Development Other Than Buildings and Structures. The Floodplain Administrator shall make or cause to be made inspections of all development other than buildings and structures that is authorized by issuance of a permit for floodplain development under these regulations. The Floodplain Administrator shall inspect flood hazard areas from time to time to determine when development is undertaken without issuance of a permit.
b. Inspections of Manufactured Homes Installations. The Floodplain Administrator shall make or cause to be made inspections of installation and replacement of manufactured homes in flood hazard areas authorized by issuance of a permit for floodplain development under these regulations. Upon installation of a manufactured home and receipt of the elevation certification required in NCC 4.11.200 the Floodplain Administrator shall inspect the installation or have the installation inspected. c. Inspections of Buildings and Structures. The Building Official shall make or cause to be made, inspections for buildings and structures in flood hazard areas authorized by permit, in accordance with the building code:
i. Lowest Floor Elevation. Upon placement of the lowest floor, including the basement, and prior to further vertical construction, certification of the elevation required in the building code shall be prepared by a licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer and submitted to the Building Official.
ii. Final Inspection. Prior to the final inspection, certification of the elevation required in the building code shall be prepared by a licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer and submitted to the Building Official.

B. Review, Use and Development of Other Base Flood Data.

1. Where flood hazard areas are delineated on the FIRM and base flood elevation data have not been provided, the Floodplain Administrator is authorized to require one of the following:
a. Require the applicant to include base flood elevation data prepared by a qualified professional engineer in accordance with currently accepted engineering practices. Such analyses shall be performed and sealed by a qualified professional engineer. Studies, analyses and computations shall be submitted in sufficient detail to allow review and approval by the Floodplain Administrator. The accuracy of data submitted for such determination shall be the responsibility of the applicant. b. Obtain, review, and provide to applicants base flood elevation and floodway data available from a Federal or State agency or other source or require the applicant to obtain and use base flood elevation and floodway data available from a Federal or State agency or other source. c. Where base flood elevation and floodway data are not available from another source, where the available data are deemed by the Floodplain Administrator to not reasonably reflect flooding conditions, or where the available data are known to be scientifically or technically incorrect or otherwise inadequate:
i. Require the applicant to include base flood elevation data in accordance with subsection (B)(l)(a) of this section; or
ii. Specify that the base flood elevation is two feet above the highest adjacent grade at the location of the development, provided there is no evidence indicating flood depths have been or may be greater than two feet.

The Newman City Code is current through Ordinance 2024-4, passed December 10, 2024.

3. In an expansion to an existing manufactured home park or subdivision; or

4. In an existing manufactured home park or subdivision on a site upon which a manufactured home has incurred "substantial damage" as the result of a flood; shall be elevated on a permanent foundation such that the lowest floor of the manufactured home is elevated to or above the base flood elevation (the State of California recommends at least two feet above the base flood elevation) and be securely fastened to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement.

B. All manufactured homes to be placed or substantially improved on sites in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision within Zones Al - 30, AH, and AE on the community's Flood Insurance Rate Map that are not subject to the provisions of subsection (A) of this section will be securely fastened to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement, and be elevated so that either the:

1. Lowest floor of the manufactured home is at or above the base flood elevation (the State of California recommends at least two feet above the base flood elevation); or

2. Manufactured home chassis is supported by reinforced piers or other foundation elements of at least equivalent strength that are no less than 36 inches in height above grade.

Upon the completion of the structure, the elevation of the lowest floor including basement shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor, and verified by the Community Building Inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification and verification shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att.

2. Meet the permit requirements of Article IV of this chapter and the elevation and anchoring requirements for manufactured homes in NCC 4.11.200(A). (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8- 2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-4 § 2 (Att. A), 6-10-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att. A), 11- 12-2013; Ord. 2010-7 § 1 (Att.

4.11.220 Floodways.

Located within areas of special flood hazard established in NCC 4.11.070 are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters, which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply:

A. Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvement, and other new development unless certification by a registered professional engineer is provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in the base flood elevation during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.

B. If subsection (A) of this section is satisfied, all new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development shall comply with all other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of this article. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-4 § 2 (Att. A), 6-10-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att. A), 11-12-2013; Ord. 2010-7 § 1 (Att. A), 10-12-2010; Ord. 2007-10 § 1, 11-27-2007; Ord. 2000-4 § 5.6, 9-12-2000; Ord. 95-1, 3-28-1995) Article VI. Variance Procedure

4.11.230 Nature of variances.

A. The variance criteria set forth in this article are based on the general principle of zoning law that variances pertain to a piece of property and are not personal in nature. A variance may be granted for a parcel of property with physical characteristics so unusual that complying with the requirements of this chapter would create an exceptional hardship to the applicant or the surrounding property owners. The characteristics must be unique to the property and not be shared by adjacent parcels. The unique characteristic must pertain to the land itself, not to the structure, its inhabitants, or the property owners.

B. It is the duty of the City Council to help protect its citizens from flooding. This need is so compelling and the implications of the cost of insuring a structure built below flood level are so serious that variances from the flood elevation or from other requirements in the flood ordinance are quite rare. The long-term goal of preventing and reducing flood loss and damage can only be met if variances are strictly limited. Therefore, the variance guidelines provided in this chapter are more detailed and contain multiple provisions that must be met before a variance can be properly granted. The criteria are designed to screen out those situations in which alternatives other than a variance are more appropriate. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att.

A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-4 § 2 (Att. A), 6-10-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att. A), 11-12-2013; Ord. 2010-7 § 1 (Att.

A), 10-12-2010; Ord. 2007-10 § 1, 11-27-2007; Ord. 2000-4 § 6.1, 9-12-2000; Ord. 95-1, 3-28-1995)

4.11.240 Appeal Board.

A. In passing upon requests for variances, the City Council shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this chapter, and the:

1. Danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;

2. Danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;

3. Susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the existing individual owner and future owners of the property;

4. Importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community;

5. Necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;

6. Availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage;
The Newman City Code is current through Ordinance 2024-4, passed December 10, 2024.

Newman City Code Page 44/85
Chapter 4.11 FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT

7. Compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development;

8. Relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area;

9. Safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles;

10. Expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood waters expected at the site; and

11. Costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, and streets and bridges.

B. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice over the signature of a community official that:

1. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as $25.00 for $100.00 of insurance coverage; and

2. Such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and property. It is required that a copy of the notice shall be recorded by the Floodplain Administrator in the Office of the Stanislaus County Recorder and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land.

C. The Floodplain Administrator will maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance, and report such variances issued to the Federal Insurance Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2021-2 § 6, 6-22-2021; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-4 § 2 (Att. A), 6-10-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att. A), 11-12-2013; Ord. 2010-7 § 1 (Att. A), 10-12-2010; Ord. 2007-10 § 1, 11-27-2007; Ord. 2000-4 § 6.2, 9-12-2000; Ord. 95-1, 3-28- 1995)

4.11.250 Conditions for variances.

A. Generally, variances may be issued for new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing that the procedures of Articles IV and V of this chapter have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.

B. Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures (as defined in NCC 4.11.050) upon a determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.

C. Variances shall not be issued within any mapped regulatory floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.

D. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. "Minimum necessary" means to afford relief with a minimum of deviation from the requirements of this chapter. For example, in the case of variances to an elevation requirement, this means the City Council need not grant permission for the applicant to build at grade, or even to whatever elevation the applicant proposes, but only to that elevation which the City Council believes will both provide relief and preserve the integrity of the local ordinance.

E. Variances shall only be issued upon a:

1. Showing of good and sufficient cause;

2. Determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship (as defined in NCC

4.11.050) to the applicant; and
The Newman City Code is current through Ordinance 2024-4, passed December 10, 2024.

Newman City Code Page 45/85
Chapter 4.11 FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT

3. Determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, or extraordinary public expense, create a nuisance (as defined in NCC 4.11.050 - see "public safety and nuisance"), cause fraud or victimization (as defined in NCC 4.11.050) of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.

F. Variances may be issued for new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use; provided, that the provisions of subsections (A) through (E) of this section are satisfied and that the structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damages during the base flood and does not result in additional threats to public safety and does not create a public nuisance.

G. Upon consideration of the factors of NCC 4.1 l.240(A) and the purposes of this chapter, the City Council may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this chapter. (Ord. 2022-3 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 2019-5 § 1 (Att. A), 10-8-2019; Ord. 2016-4 § 1 (Att. A), 10-11-2016; Ord. 2014-4 § 2 (Att. A), 6-10-2014; Ord. 2013-3 § 1 (Att.

4.13.020 Findings and purposes.

A. Findings. It is hereby found that:

1. The City has many places, sites, buildings, and structures which possess special historic, architectural and cultural interest and value to the community and its citizens; and

2. There is great value in the protection and enhancement of such important places, sites, buildings, and structures which often necessitates appropriate and reasonable consideration upon their appearance and use; including their alteration and reuse, which preserves their unique character and economic value; and

3. The proper use of historic places, sites, buildings, and structures is essentially desirable to the community, but, because of their age, structural nature, or threats from modernization, require special considerations in regard to the applicability of present construction and zoning codes affecting any change in use or structural alteration which could have a negative effect on their unique and important character and economic value.

B. Purposes. The purpose of this chapter is to promote health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City through:

1. The protection, enhancement, and perpetuation of structures, sites and areas that are reminders of past eras, events and persons important to local, State or national history, or which provide significant examples of architectural styles of the past, or are elements in the history of architecture, or reflect the phases of the City's development, or which are unique and irreplaceable assets to the City and its neighborhoods, or which provide for this and future generations examples of the physical surroundings in which past generations lived.

2. The enhancement of tourism and the economy of the City by protecting and preserving places having special and unique character and interest.

The Newman City Code is current through Ordinance 2024-4, passed December 10, 2024.

Newman City Code
Chapter 4.13 THE HISTORIC BUILDING

PRESERVATION OF THE CITY OF NEWMAN

3. Support of the efforts of property owners to preserve, protect, and/or renovate historic and architecturally significant buildings/structures through financial incentive programs such as the Mills Act and the City's Downtown Facade Improvement Program and Housing Rehabilitation Program.

4. Fostering public appreciation of, and civic pride in, the beauty of the City and the accomplishments of its past.

5. Allowing the use of the State Historic Building Code (SHBC) by declaring the importance of designated structures to Newman's history, architecture, and local culture. The SHBC provides an alternative to the California Building Code by recognizing the unique construction problems inherent in historical buildings while maintaining acceptable life safety standards.

6. Promoting the enhancement of property values, the stabilization and improvement of neighborhoods and areas of the City, and the increase of economic and financial benefits to the City and its inhabitants.

7. Contributing to the preservation and encouragement of a City of varied architectural styles, reflecting the distinct phases of its history - cultural, social, economic, political and architectural.

8. Promoting the public's awareness of the benefits of preservation including encouragement of public participation in identifying and preserving historical and architectural resources, thereby increasing community pride in the City's cultural heritage.
