WAIVER OF READING OF ORDINANCES
State law requires that an ordinance be read in its entirety prior to adoption unless the City Council waives reading beyond the title. Reading an entire ordinance at the meeting is extremely time-consuming; reading of the title alone usually gives the audience sufficient understanding of what the Council is considering.
To ensure that this waiver is consistently approved by the Council, Council should make the waiver at each meeting, thus, you should do it at this point on the Consent Agenda. The Council then does not have to worry about making this motion when each ordinance comes up on the agenda.

The Housing Authority of the County of Santa Cruz has served and administered multiple housing resources, such as the Housing Choice Voucher and Project Based Voucher Programs for the cities of Hollister and San Juan Bautista since 1977.
The Housing Authority currently administers these programs within the cities in San Benito County. This agreement designates the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Cruz as the agent Housing Authority for San Juan Bautista in the application, operation, and administration of HUD's federally subsidized housing programs. With the agreement of all parties (parallel resolutions to be considered by the City of Hollister and San Benito County) the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Cruz will continue to extend the administration of referenced HUD federally funded rental assistance programs within a 10-mile radius outside of the San Juan Bautista city limits.

CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: MARCH 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
FROM: DON REYNOLDS, CITY MANAGER
BY:
TITLE: DISCUSS “REACH” BUILDING CODES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Staff’s intention is to introduce “Reach” Building Codes to the City and City Council for discussion to determine if or how these Building Codes might be considered for San Juan Bautista.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Building Codes are updated every two years. On this same agenda in a separate report to the City Council, the California Building Code and update process are described and provided as background information for this matter.
At the February 21, 2023 City Council meeting, staff presented the 2022 California Building Codes for adoption without amending them. They include the 6-distinct sections that update the basic building codes, incorporate International code revisions, and the specific California Green Building Codes intended to reduce greenhouse gasses. Decisions were postponed until this March 21, 2023 Agenda.
While contemplating the update of the Building Codes, a discussion occurred regarding possibly amending the proposed Codes. The changes considered are known as “Reach Codes” because they “reach” beyond the standard template of Title 24 of the Uniform Building Codes.
Originally, “Reach” Codes were intended to encourage energy conservation and efficiency beyond the State Title 24 Building Codes. Now several State laws have been passed to mandate that these steps be taken, to include solar panels for new construction (for example) and other similar improvements. In the past three years, Reach Codes have been targeting the “electrification” of buildings, a trend that moves buildings away from natural gas. Burning natural gas is a significant source of green-house gasses, and for some, the CO2 produced can cause respiratory health issues.

City Council Meeting

At the February 21, 2023 Council meeting the City (a “Member Agency”) also received an update from Central Coast Community Energy (3CE). 90% of 3CE’s budget is spent on buying power, with a focus on sustainable power, and a goal to be free from fossil fueled power ahead of the State’s 2050 goal. Customers that were reliant upon PGE for their power now have a choice, and
90.98% of San Juan Bautista residents have chosen to buy power from 3CE instead of PG&E (PG&E uses its transmission lines to deliver 3CE energy. The bills are from PG&E but indicate that the power comes from 3CE).
The City Council’s 3CE update included a financial status, as well as the status of their special programs. 10% of their annual budget pays for administration and special programs that provide a variety of incentives for its subscribers:
1. Electrifying your home (including multifamily projects);
2. Electrifying your ride (Phase 1 and 2);
3. Ag Electrification; and
4. Electric Bus program.
Summaries of these programs are provided in the first Attachment to this report. It includes a whole new division added in October 2022, “the journey towards Reach Codes.” It is intended to help member agencies adopt codes to “electrify” new buildings, and encourage the use of electric vehicles. It is focused primarily on new construction and volunteer incentivized appliance upgrades (rebates, et al). More details can be found at this link, are attached, and summarized below https://centralcoastreachcodes.org/
“CCCE’s Reach Code Program for Member Agencies
Every three years, California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24) are updated by the California Energy Commission (CEC) to reduce wasteful energy consumption in newly constructed and existing buildings. At this juncture, cities and counties have the option to go beyond what is required by the CEC, and instead adopt Reach Codes, building codes designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions more aggressively.
Adopting Reach Codes can be a complex and lengthy process for jurisdictions, involving studies, community engagement, and ordinance revisions. CCCE’s past Reach Code Program provided post-codification financial incentives to Member Agencies. This year’s program provides help to City and County staff in conducting the process required to develop, adopt, and implement Reach Codes, which is often a difficult and resource intensive process.
Reach codes can take many forms including prohibiting new gas line hookups in new construction, requiring heating system electrification for major renovations, and requiring electric vehicle charging readiness, to name a few. Of the 33 Cities and Counties that make up CCCE, two have adopted or initiated the process to adopt reach codes.

“The path to zero-emission buildings and transportation is fraught with challenges,” said Jon Griesser, Director of Energy Programs for Central Coast Community Energy. “Our local communities are committed to improving air quality, safety, and protecting the environment for the families, residents, and businesses of the Central Coast. But they’ve also let us know they need a helping hand with some of the heavier-lift items. We’re excited to be able to offer this opportunity for partnership that promises immediate and meaningful benefits.” DISCUSSION:
3CE has been invited by the City Manager to make a brief presentation to the City Council about the “path to Reach Codes.” They offer this service to their members, using grant funds and technical consultant to draft policies, and help cities update and modify their Title 24 Building Codes. This presentation and report have also been shared with the City Attorney and Building Official.
There are many different paths to choose from. The most popular seem to be those that require all new buildings to include Reach Code requirements and compliance, and incentivize existing property owners to make changes away from natural gas appliances to electric.
Once a path is decided upon, the City Attorney and Building Official will draft a new Ordinance that amends the current Title 24 Building Codes. It would be subject to two public meetings and public comment, and a 30-day notice period before becoming effective.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact anticipated by considering a change to the building codes.

1 CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS ESTABLISHING A RECREATION PROGRAM MEETING DATE: March 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Don Reynolds, City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
It is recommended that the City Council receive reports from City Manager Reynolds, and Kim Calame, the Chair of the Community Relations and Resources Subcommittee of the Economic Development Citizen’s Advisory Committee, and discuss the establishment of a City recreation program for all ages, but especially seniors and children below the age of 18.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On June 14, 2022, the City approved resolution 2022-49, and adopted its new Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets for Fiscal Year 2022/23. With the help of federal American Rescue Plan (“ARP”) funds, the City subsequently approved Joint Use Agreement (as amended) with the School District to open its playgrounds to the general public when school was not in session. It also budgeted funds to resolve the acoustic issues in the Community Hall. These two projects are intended to address the unmet needs of the most vulnerable population in the City hardest impacted by the pandemic; seniors and young children.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
On November 15, 2022, the Council approved Resolution 2022-84 amending the Joint Use Agreement with the School District. The City spent approximately $85,000 on fencing at the San Juan School, to allow for the use of the facility without, access to the buildings. The facilities were open in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. In the fall of 2022, the City retained an acoustic expert to evaluate the 2018 Community Hall acoustics study. After several months of refining the specifications, the City is ready to solicit bids for the acoustic work After completion, the facility will be better suited to resume hosting senior lunches, after school and summer recreation programs.

PERSONNEL CHANGES
Several changes to City personnel occurred with the adoption of the City’s Fiscal Year 2022/23 Budget. Below is a summary from the published “Cleargov” Budget Narrative. (https://city-sanjuan-bautista-ca-budget-book.cleargov.com/5627/introduction/transmittal-letter ) Among the many changes, it confirmed these policies, including keeping “Code Enforcement” and the Library Lead Tech at 30-hours per week without regard to the status of the COVID-19 state of emergency. Staff working as “Code Enforcement” is clearly working out-of-class, and providing the City much more than just code enforcement. Extra duties include the coordination of the private security services, animal regulation, parking enforcement, commercial truck traffic enforcement, and some investigation work of petty crimes. These skills are known as “quality of life” public safety services. The Library Lead Tech is working with part-time staff limited to 20- hours per week, and three positions work to keep the library open 6 days a week. This is currently a hard role to sustain due to a vacancy that has taken several months to fill. This year the City hopes to re-establish its summer programs now that COVID 19 has passed. Without keeping the Lead Library Tech hours at 30-per week, we may have to reduce services.
The only matter not accomplished on thislist was contingent upon the status of the mid-year budget at which time if funding was available, the City would look into hiring a part-time “Community Services Coordinator.” When the Budget was adopted last June, the position of “Community Services Coordinator” was being used to describe the role of establishing recreation programs, coordinating volunteers, facility rentals and special events.
Item # 6.B
City Council Meeting
March 21, 2023

Staff confirmed at its January 24, 2023 Council meeting, that the mid-year budge review does have adequate funding for this part-time position that serves seniors, and youth programs at City parks and the Community Hall, as well as at the school playground and basketball courts. If successful, the position may be expanded to a full-time position that includes volunteers, facility rentals, and coordinating special events. A proposed Job Description for a “Recreation Assistant” is attached for the Council’s consideration.
COMMUNITY ENAGEMENT
During the past year, the Economic Development Citizens Advisory Committee has been conducting community engagement and research through its “Community Relations and Resources Subcommittee.” It last met January 19th, 2023, and the City Council received feedback from its work focused on recreation. The second attachment is the Subcommittee’s annual report.
Chair of this Committee Kim Calame, will be at the City Council meeting to present the findings to the City Council. Page 12-of this 28-page report discusses “next steps.” There are13-different recommendations listed here that start with helping programs that already exist. These include youth sports, pickleball, chess, and senior activities. Hiring a part-time position this fiscal year will help the community evaluate the potential and challenges of developing and staffing a more robust and sustainable recreation program.
DISCUSSION:
As the City considers venturing into recreation program services, different service and funding models need to be considered to avoid starting and then ending popular programs. Local government has the tools needed to develop recreation facilities, but staffing them and building a sustainable recreation program can be more challenging. Rarely do recreation program fees offset the costs, but they help. Over the years as local government budgets ebb and flow with the economic tide, it seems that recreation programs are the most vulnerable to budgets cuts.
Occasionally a regional recreation solution can be created relying on a property tax assessment voted on and approved by ballot measure as a direct funding source. The Conejo Recreation and Park District is an example, and can be found at this link: https://www.crpd.org/ (City Manager’s home town!) But if this solution cannot be agreed upon, then it comes down to the local government’s general fund that subsidizes programs to make them affordable. The Subcommittee has provided a creative solution in the third attachment called a “Parks Charter Fund.” This example is more flexible than a property tax because it is renewed and modified by the local government without the need to return to the ballot. It has a sunset clause whereby the local government can elect to not renew it. It is a general guarantee to the community that recreation will be funded every year by a percentage of the revenues received.
Item # 6.B
City Council Meeting
March 21, 2023

Staff and the Subcommittee agree that by starting with a simple small recreation program is the best way to initiate this endeavor. It is popular and the citizens take advantage of it, then it has the potential to grow. In the meantime, the proposed part-time Recreation Assistant position can support the current efforts ongoing in the City now.
Fitting a new Recreation Assistant into the organization may also be a challenge. The Lead Library Technician currently reports to the City Manager. The job description does include some program funding, but on a very-limited scale. Initially, the Recreation Assistant would report at least initially to the City Manager, and work from the Library.
If successful, the recreation and library services for the City could be grown into a Library and Community Services Department. It would have its own Commission, and perhaps a new youth commission and/or senior citizen commission. Senior programs could evolve into a focused recreation leader position just for senior services, and the same for sports and youth services. The Luck Park Master Plan does consider offices and a community center for these types of services.
This may be a 5–10-year plan, assuming the funding sources are also approved (considered) to support this growth. But if the City does not grow, it does not make sense to grow a recreation program of this size or magnitude.
Staff suggests allowing the job description to come back to the City Council for approval in April, and that recruitment start before May 1st. The position will report to the City Manager, but work together with the Library Lead Technician to start a formal recreation program.

CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: MARCH 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
FROM: DON REYNOLDS, CITY MANAGER
BY: DON REYNOLDS
TITLE: DISCUS CHANGING THE ZONING CODE SECTION 11-04-110
REGARDING LARGE RETAIL, FORMULA RETAIL, AND
FORMULA VISITOR ACCOMMODATIONS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Receive a report from City Manager Don Reynolds, and discuss modifying the Zoning Code 11- 40-110 to allow formula hotel, pharmaceutical, and bank establishments.
RECOMMENDATION:
There is no recommended action from staff.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Zoning Code 11-04-110 is attached to this report along with an article on “Formula Business Restrictions” from the not-for-profit “Institute for Self-Reliance” as background for a discussion requested at the February 21, 2023 Council meeting regarding the City’s Formula Retail Business codes. The article provides links to more than twenty cities around the country (including San Juan Bautista) that have restricted formula and large-scale retail in their cities, or a part of their cities. Some members of the City Council asked that the City’s policies be reviewed, to explore possible exceptions to this rule to encourage hotels, banks, and pharmacies to locate here.
BACKGROUND:
On February 20, 2007, the City adopted Ordinance 2007-03, 2007-04, and then on March 20, 2007 it adopted Ordinance 2007-12 and established restrictions on formula retail stores, restaurants, and large retail establishments. “Formula Businesses” are defined in the attached article as “stores and restaurants that have standardized services, décor, methods or operation, and other features that make them virtually identical to businesses elsewhere.” The article also reviews legal issues that resulted from two court challenges to these laws between 2000, and 2008. The intent of the policy is to preserve local independent retail. It prevents a chain store coffee shop (ice cream, or 2 | Page
other service that already exists) from establishing in the City because the City already has a coffee shop.
On March 18, 2014, threatened by an $80,000 law suit, the City adopted Ordinance 2014-01 rescinding the 2007 zoning code 11-04-110. But in September 16, 2004, it adopted Ordinance 2014-04, and reestablished 11-04-110. Subsequently approved was a 24-hour retail store for the new gas station, because it was a unique business to the City, and the first of its kind. Amendments were adopted in 2015, 2017 and most recently in 2021, but the intent of the Ordinance has remained as approved September 2014. Large scale retail businesses exceeding 5,000 square feet require a conditional use permit.
A review of the many articles that contributed to the attached article from the Institute of SelfReliance, can be summarized in these three principals:
The concerns expressed at the City Council meeting February 21st, 2023, are regarding certain retail and hotel services that the City does not have, or perhaps needs more of. Three business types were to be discussed as possible “exceptions” to this zoning code, and they include: hotels, pharmacies, and banks. A proposed bank or pharmacy would be unique, (staff is not aware of any current proposal for either of these two types of establishments), and can be considered under the current policy. But a new hotel would be the third in addition to the two establishments already located in town. The Ordinance could be altered, or perhaps a moratorium could be established for a certain period of time to encourage businesses of certain types to be considered. There are plenty of other types of services lacking in the City that may include a laundry matt, dry-cleaner, bike shop, and others.
Does the City want to change the existing ordinance? How and for what purposes? If so, permanently or for a limited period? What is the best way to change the Ordinance to avoid the threat of legal challenges like the one that occurred in 2014? FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact from a matter of discussion by the City Council, to the City of San Juan Bautista.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: MARCH 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
BY: BRIAN FOUCHT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
TITLE: RESOLUTION AFFECTING THE DISPOSITION OF PARKLETS RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Approve a resolution ordering the removal of parklets used for retail services, and directing the City Manager to make funds available to defray the cost of removal by April 28, 2023, 60 days after the date of lifting of the State of Emergency due to COVID-19 by the State of California.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In April 2020 the City began meeting weekly with its downtown businesses to develop a plan in response to the ongoing Public Health Emergency. Thereafter, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-24, enabling the establishment of outdoor shopping and dining via expansion of businesses into the right of way. Third Street was converted to a single, one-way lane to enable this expansion.
Resulting parklets were originally approved for a three-month period ending December 31, 2020.
On November 10, 2020, the City Council agreed to extend the parklets until March 30, 2021, and thereafter agreed to successive extensions to September 30, 2021 and March 30, 2022 pending adoption of an ongoing policy.
During the referenced hearings, the subject of “permanence” has involved issues of non-conformity, long term planning and design of the Third Street streetscape, public safety, infrastructure, relationship to buildings, structures and landscaping within the Third Street Historic District and cost of removal. It is established that to allow permanent “parklet” type outdoor commercial use would first require a thorough evaluation of the historic Third Street district streetscape.
City Council Resolution 2022-21 directed the City Manager to cease issuing Encroachment Permits for parklet construction and requested input from the EDCAC regarding continuance of parklets.
Thereafter, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-40 establishing a policy for ongoing disposition of parklets as follows:
• Parklets are generally perceived to be beneficial to the community and to the sponsoring business.
• There are noted adverse effects of parklets; however, the benefits outweigh the noted adverse effects.
Item #7.A
City Council Meeting
March 21, 2023
2 • Parklets should not be prevalent on Third Street in the short term. As a means of limiting noted short term adverse effects, the present parklet experience should not be expanded. • It is important to know and understand the attitudes and perspectives of the community, business owners and visitors.
• Parklets should remain until the Third Street Master Plan construction begins. Third Street Master Plan parklet/plaza concepts should be shaped by referenced surveys and testimonials. The parklet experience should be re-imagined for use in the context of the Third Street Master Plan.
The Governor’s office, on October 17, 2022 announced that the COVID 19 State of Emergency will end on February 28, 2023, and the State will rely on ongoing, enhanced public health initiatives to drive down rates and severity of infection. It is important to recognize that the Governor’s action does not stipulate that COVID is no longer a threat. Instead, the Governor recognizes the importance of continued emphasis on public health practices via covid19.ca.gov. On December 20, 2022, the City Council directed the City Manager to return with a resolution that would institute a revised policy affecting parklets that would go into effect at such time that the COVID State Of Emergency is lifted, February 28, 2023.
The recommended policy would: 1) enable restaurants and bars to retain parklets until the Third Street Master Plan is under construction, or until the City Council orders their removal; and reimburse parklet owners for reasonable cost of removal. Staff has obtained information from former parklet owners, contractors and various websites that it will cost approximately $5 per square foot to demolish and remove an existing deck of the type constructed on Third Street, i.e. without anchored footings. Assuming a parklet is 9’ x 18’ The cost of removal is approximately $800.00.
DISCUSSION:
The attached resolution will implement a revised policy as follows:
1. Continue the restriction prohibiting encroachment permits for new or replacement parklets;
2. Terminate the current encroachment permit authorization for parklet used for retail purposes and require removal of such parklets by April 28, 2023. Offset the cost of parklet removal at a cost not to exceed $5.00 per square foot.
3. Retain existing parklets established for eating establishments and bars and require completion of an annual inspection and implementation of any safety requirements of the Fire Marshall and Building Official.

BY:
FROM: BOB MARTIN DEL CAMPO, FIRE CHIEF
TITLE: Ordinance No. 2023- xx, Amending the Chapter Title of Chapter 5.1 and Sections 5-1-100 and 5-1-105, Repealing Sections, 5-1-150, 5-1-160, and 5-1-170 of Article 1 of Chapter 5.1 of Title 5 “Public Health, Safety and Welfare,” of the City of San Juan Bautista Municipal Code to Adopt By Reference in its Entirety the California Building Standards Code 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code and Appendices, Title 24, Part 9, of the California Code of Regulations, with Certain Exceptions, Modifications and Additions Required by Local Climatic, Geological or Topographical Conditions, and Approving Findings to Support Local Modifications, and Setting a Public Hearing on the Matter for Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council read by title only, waive full and further reading, and introduce these changes by an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Juan Bautista (attached as Exhibit A) amending the Chapter Title of Chapter 5.1., amending Sections 5-1-100 and 5-1-105, repealing sections 5-150, 5-1-160, and 5-1-170 of Chapter 5.1, Article 1, of Title 5 “Public Health, Safety and Welfare” of the San Juan Bautista Municipal Code and adopting by reference in its entirety the 2022 Edition California Fire Code and Appendices, Title 24, Part 9, of the California Code of Regulations with certain exceptions, modifications and additions required by local climatic, geological or topographical conditions, and approve findings to support local modifications, and set and direct publication for a public hearing on the matter for April 18, 2023.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Fire Protection agencies are required to enforce the current State Building Standards Codes, and local jurisdictions are allowed to make amendments to those state standards when justified by local topographical, climatic and geographical conditions which must be supported by findings.
The International Code Council promulgates the International Fire Code, a nationally recognized compilation of rules and regulations. The International Code Council has conducted open code Item # 7.B
City Council Meeting
March 21, 2023
Page | 2
hearings that permit participation by national, state, and local code officials as well as industry representatives, consultants, and other private parties with an interest in the International Fire Code. The International Fire Code has been printed and published as a Code in book form with the meaning of Section 50022.1 of the Government Code of the State of California.
Under this adopting ordinance, specific amendments to building standards are proposed for adoption that are more restrictive than those contained within the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code as adopted by the California Building Standards Commission and published as the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code.
Under this adopting ordinance, existing codes in the San Juan Bautista Municipal code would be no longer valid as they are otherwise incorporated into the 2022 Fire Code or contradict the proposed ordinance. Therefore, staff is proposing to repeal Section 5-1-150 “Automatic Fire Extinguishing Systems” as this is addressed in the 2022 Fire code under Section 903 “Automatic Sprinkler Systems.” Additionally, we propose repealing Section 5-1-160 “General Provisions for Safety” because they are identified in the 2022 California Fire Code, “Key Boxes” is addressed in Section 506 and “Locks” is identified in Section 506.1.1. Lastly, we propose repealing Section 5- 1-170 “Special Regulations,” which calls out street fairs and their permits as these are identified in Section 105 of the 2022 Fire Code.
Under the provisions of Section 18941.5 of the Health and Safety Code, local amendments must be based on climatic, topographical, and geological conditions. The findings for these local amendments are set forth in the Ordinance attached as Exhibit A.
It is clearly understood that the adoption of such amendments may not prevent the incidence of fire, the implementation of these various amendments to the Fire Code is intended to reduce the potential loss of life and property and damage to the environment caused thereby. In accordance with California Government Code §50022.3 the City Council should direct that a public hearing shall be set on this ordinance after its introduction for Tuesday, April 18, 2023, for which notice, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, shall be published in accordance with Government Code §6066. Copies of the ordinance proposed for adoption will be available for public inspection at the office of the City Clerk.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Page | 2
1. Chapter 5.1 of Title 5 Public Health, Safety and Welfare Title Amended. Chapter 5.1 title is hereby amended to read as follows:
“CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, 2022 EDITION”
2. Section 5-1-100 of Chapter 5-1“Adoption by reference” Amended: Section 5-1-100 of Chapter 5-1 entitled “Adoption by reference” is hereby amended to read as follows:
“5-1-100 Adoption by reference.
The California Fire Code, 2022 Edition in its entirety, including Appendices, Title 24, Part 9, published by the California Building Standards Commission, and as modified by the amendments, additions set forth hereinafter, is adopted by reference, in accordance with the following findings, as the Fire Code of the City of San Juan Bautista. (A) Climate. The city, on average, experiences an approximate annual rainfall of eighteen inches. The heaviest months for rainfall can be expected between January and April. During winter months, the city may experience periods of heavy rain, which can cause local flooding.
Due to the proximity of the Pacific Ocean, winter storms are often accompanied by high winds, which have uprooted trees and damaged power lines. The city has also experienced periods of heavy fog, which has delayed the responding fire apparatus and prevented early discovery of structure fires. Light to gusty winds occur during dry periods which, when coupled with highly flammable vegetation, can cause uncontrollable fires. With increased development spreading into brush covered coastal hill areas, wind driven fires could have severe consequences, as have been demonstrated on several occasions throughout the state. (B) Geologic. The city is susceptible to seismic hazards resulting from movement along any one of several known faults. The most serious direct earthquake hazard threat is from the damage or collapse of buildings and other structures due to ground movement. In addition to damage caused by earthquakes, there is the possibility of earthquake-induced fires starting because of damage to gas lines, power lines or heat-producing appliances and the unavailability to water for fire control due to broken water mains. In the event of a major earthquake many areas of the city may not be accessible to emergency equipment and, if bridges or roads are damaged, the city may be isolated from outside assistance.
(C) Topographical. The city is divided by California State Highway 156. The freeway creates barriers which obstruct traffic patterns and delay response time for fire equipment. The water supply within the city would be directly affected by the topographical layout in the event of a major catastrophe.
(D) Conclusion. Local climatic, geologic and topographical conditions impact fire suppression efforts and the frequency, spread, intensity and size of fire involving structures in this community.

CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: MARCH 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
BY: MINERVA ARREDONDO, BUILDING OFFICIAL
FROM: BRIAN FOUCHT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
TITLE: Ordinance No 2023-XX Amending Sections 10-1-110 “Code Adoption by Reference” of Chapter 10-1 “Buildings” of Title 10 “Buildings and Subdivisions” of the City of San Juan Bautista Municipal Code to Adopt by Reference Certain of the Parts of California Code of Regulations Title 24, the California Building Standards Code 2022 Edition including: Part 1 the California Administrative Code, Part 2 the California Building Code (Vols. 1 & 2), Part 2.5 the California Residential Code, Part 3 the California Electrical Code, Part 4 the California Mechanical Code, Part 5 the California Plumbing Code, Part 6 the California Energy Code, Part 8 the California Historical Building Code, Part 10 the California Existing Building Code, Part 11 the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), and Part 12 the California Reference Standard Code; repealing section 10-1-115; and setting a public hearing for Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council read by title only, waive full and further Reading, and introduce an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Juan Bautista amending Sections 10-1-110 of the San Juan Bautista Municipal Code and adopting by reference certain parts of the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards Codes, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations including: Part 1 the California Administrative Code, Part 2 the California Building Code (Vols. 1 & 2), Part 2.5 the California Residential Code, Part 3 the California Electrical Code, Part 4 the California Mechanical Code, Part 5 the California Plumbing Code, Part 6 the California Energy Code, Part 8 the California Historical Building Code, Part 10 the California Existing Building Code, Part 11 the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), and Part 12 the California Reference Standard Code; repealing Section 10-1-115; and setting and directing publication of notice for a public hearing on the matter for Tuesday, April 18, 2023 BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The California Building Standards – comprising of Codes regulating fire, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical and other activities and conditions – are revised on a three-year cycle. In January 2022, the State’s California Building Standards Commission adopted and approved the 2022 Edition of Item #7.C
City Council Meeting
March 21, 2023
Page | 2
the Building Standards Codes, also known as the 2022 Edition of the California Codes. These Codes were subsequently published on July 1, 2022 and became effective January 1, 2023, whether or not they were formally adopted by a local jurisdiction before that date. Accordingly, all local jurisdictions in California were mandated to begin enforcement of these new codes and standards on and after January 1, 2023.
Municipal Code Section 10-1-115 entitled “UBC Chapter 70 appendix adopted” should be repealed. The Uniform Building Code (UBC), published by International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), was replaced in 2000 by the International Building Codes promulgated by the International Code Council (ICC). The ICC was the result of a merger of three predecessor organizations which published three different building codes, those being the ICBO, the Building Officials and Code Administrators (BOCA), and the Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI). The ICC publishes the International Building Code (IBC) which includes the various codes on which the California Building Standards Commission has modeled the California Building Codes.
DISCUSSION:
The ICC model codes are updated every three years. This allows for the codes to improve and adjust to the newest materials, methods of construction and technological advances in the industry.
The 2022 California Building Standards Code contains twelve 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 from the ICC into the California Administrative, Building, Residential, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Energy, Historical Building, Fire, Existing Building, Green Building Standards. and Reference Standards Codes.
Local jurisdictions may only modify the California Building Codes to make them more stringent because of the unique local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions which modifications must be supported by findings. All local modifications must be filed with the California Building Standards Commission and will apply to the City of San Juan Bautista building permit applications received on and after the effective date of the Ordinance. The proposed Ordinance amends Section 10-1-110 by the adoption of the updated California Codes with the exception of the 2022 California Fire Code as modified which is proposed for separate adoption.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Ordinance attached as Exhibit A amending the Municipal Code because having the Municipal Code contain references to the adoption of the latest California Codes is more convenient and accurate for the public to access and research as otherwise the City of San Juan Bautista Municipal Code would not cite the correct building standards that must apply to current construction and development projects. This discrepancy between the local ordinance and the state law can create confusion. Furthermore, if the City is required to bring a code enforcement action, it is necessary that the complaint provides reference local ordinance provisions which cite the correct regulations. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Juan Bautista Amending Chapter 10-1-110 and repealing 10-1-115 and direct that notice be given in the form attached as Exhibit B for a public hearing on the adoption of the ordinance to be held at 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
