NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, does hereby determine, order and approve the following:
Ordinance No. 1089 – Adopt 2022 California Building Codes
November 16, 2022
A. California Health & Safety Code, Section 17958.5 and 18941.5 authorize cities and counties to modify the California Building Standards Code by adopting more restrictive standards and modifications if such standards and modifications are accompanied by express findings that they are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.
B. The City Council of the City of Norco finds that these local climatic, geological or topographical conditions include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. The City is subject to relatively low amounts of precipitation, very low humidity levels and extremely high temperatures. These climatic conditions are conducive to the spread of drought conditions and fires. For example, during July, August and September, temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. During the same months’ humidity is usually less than 40% and measurements of less than 10% are not uncommon. These recordings have been documented by the Riverside County Flood Control District and the National Climatic Data Center.
2. The City is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly referred to as "Santa Ana Winds," which can reach speeds of up to 95 miles per hour. In addition, the convergence of the marine shore air flow and the desert air flow create steady winds on a daily basis. Finally, the City is bordered on the south by steep, rugged, brush-covered mountains and parts of the City contain hilly terrain and mounds, which either contribute to or create gusty wind conditions by causing a natural funneling effect and increasing wind speeds over the City.
3. The City is also subject to moderately strong shaking and surface ruptures from seismic activity in the area. The geologic and seismic setting of the City is dominated by the Chino and Elsinore earthquake faults along the southwest portion of the City and a diversity of bedrock and alluvial soils that may significantly affect the intensity of earthquake shaking. The Elsinore fault is located a short distance southwest of the City, while the Chino fault, which is subparallel to the Elsinore fault, is located just inside the City's southwestern boundary. Of the two faults, the Chino fault has the greater potential for surface rupture leading to structural damage of structures in the City. Moreover, the thin alluvial soils found in parts of the City contribute to a moderately high potential for liquefaction in certain areas.
C. The aforementioned geologic and climatic conditions have also contributed to the loss or damage of 450 homes in the Bel Air Fire of 1961; 187 homes in the Chatsworth Fire of 1970; 50 homes in the Mandeville Canyon Fire of 1978; 262 homes in the Anaheim Fire of 1982; 71 homes in the Baldwin Hills Fire of 1985; 33 homes in the Porter Ranch Fire of 1988; 162 homes in the Santa Barbara Fire of 1990; hundreds of acres in the nearby Chino Hills State Park Fire of 1997; the Corona Triangle/Freeway Complex Fire November 15, 2008 burned 318
Ordinance No. 1089 – Adopt 2022 California Building Codes
November 16, 2022
properties, burned 30,305 plus acres, destroyed 187 single/multiple family homes, damaged 127 homes, damaged or destroyed four commercial properties; 200 acres were burned in the Sierra Pass Fire on September 24, 2013; the Madre Fire which burned 268 acres on September 23, 2013; the Little Fire on August 29, 2013 which burned 97 acres; the Deluz Fire on October 5, 2013 which burned 2236 acres, threatened 300 residents and the Naval Hospital; the Forks Complex Fire October 1, 2013 burned 37,246 acres; the Rim Fire September 3, 2013 which burned 257,314 acres, destroyed 3 commercial buildings and 11 residences; the Thomas Fire on December 4, 2017 burned 281,893 acres, 1063 structures and caused 2 deaths; and the Woolsey Fire in November 2018 destroyed 1643 structures and caused 3 deaths.
D. These fires, as well as the recent Whittier Earthquake of 1987, Northridge Earthquake of 1994, the Chino Hills Earthquake of 2008 and the recent 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquakes have resulted in the tragic loss of lives along with enormous property losses.
E. For practicality and cost reasons, many new structures are built of wood (Type V) construction. Many existing structures also have wood shake roofs. The potential for a conflagration exists due to the design and density of current structures.
F. Electrical supply and telephone communication failures occur due to high winds as well as other reasons. Water supply pumps and early notification of a fire cannot always be counted on.
G. Based upon the recommendations of the Building Official, the City Council finds that the proposed amendments to the 2022 California Building Standards Code ("amendments") are more restrictive than the standards adopted by the California Building Standards Commission, would decrease the potential incidence of property damage, injury and death due to fires and earthquakes, and are reasonable and necessary to mitigate the aforementioned local climatic, geologic or topographical conditions.

STAFF REPORT
Date: November 16, 2022 Agenda Item:
6.A.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Michelle Anglin, Community Services Director Department: Community Services
SUBJECT:
First Reading, Ordinance 1090 (City of Norco): An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Norco, California, to amend Norco Municipal Code Title 8 “Animals”, to add Chapter 8.09 “Working Animal Protection Act”. Code Amendment 2022-04 RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Ordinance No. 1090, First Reading, amending Norco Municipal Code Title 8 "Animals" to add Chapter 8.09 "Working Animal Protection Act", and schedule the Second Reading on December 7, 2022. Code Amendment 2022-04
SUMMARY:
The City's 2022 Strategic Plan consists of five strategic directions that are dedicated to fulfilling the organization's mission statement and preserving Norco's rural lifestyle which includes enacting legislation that protects working animals at events, competitions and local businesses.
BACKGROUND:
Norco has a rich history of animal-keeping, equestrian and cowboy culture. Norco's heritage and way of life consists of law-abiding animal-related businesses and the use of animals in everyday lifestyle. Support of animal enterprise and agritourism guards animal ownership, job opportunities and revenue that animal exhibitors, rodeos, horse-drawn carriage companies and many lawful animal-based businesses bring to a community.
The City's Strategic Plan calls for the development of an ordinance to ensure the safety of working animals and clearly protect and facilitate animal-related enterprises. The proposed Working Animal Protection Ordinance is in keeping with that strategic plan's goal. It would establish a right to conduct any legal animal enterprise utilizing working animals in ranching, service, entertainment, transportation, exhibition, and education, while protecting the welfare of the animals involved in these enterprises.
On Monday, September 12, 2022, staff brought this draft Ordinance to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review and feedback. The Parks and Recreation Commission provided recommendations to be included to the draft ordinance and requested to be brought back to Commission before providing a recommendation. Modifications which included those from legal were made and brought back to the Commission for final review and approval on October 10, 2022.
The creation of this Ordinance emulates that of the State of Arkansas' Working Animal Protection Code. Staff has received correspondence in support of the draft ordinance from individuals such as South Point Arena & Equestrian Center General Manager Steve Stallworth and Redding Rodeo General Manager Cindy Schonholtz.
This ordinance would not affect animal welfare laws that are already in place nor protect any illegal animal enterprises. By approving this Ordinance, no person shall interfere with or create an undue hardship relating to the occupation or use of a working animal or animal enterprise in commerce, service, legal hunting, agriculture, transportation, ranching, entertainment, education, or exhibition.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
Consistent with Strategic Direction #1, Public Safety: Enhance quality of life by promoting public health, safety and wellness initiatives for all community members, Action Plan 3 - Enact legislation that protects working animals at events, competitions and local businesses.
