THE ADOPTION OF CERTAIN CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS TO THE STATE BUILDING
STANDARDS CODE RELATING TO THE STANDARDS OF AVAILABILITY OF THE PUBLIC

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Redlands had enacted Ordi-
nance No. 1729, which provides in Section 84105 thereof that Section
1101 (d) of the Uniform Plumbing Code shall be amended to provide that a
public sewer is considered to be unavailable when such sewer is located
more than one hundred (.100) feet from the nearest point of the property
to such public sewer; and
WHEREAS, the standards set forth in Section 84105 of Ordinance No .
1729 are more restrictive than those set forth in the Uniform Plumbing
Code; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958 .7 requires this City
Council to :Hake an express finding that such amendment of the State
Building Standards Code as set forth in the Uniform Plumbing Code is
necessary because of local climatic, geographical or topographical
conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS does hereby
find, determine and resolve as follows :
SECTION ONE: For many years, nitrate fertilizers have been used by
the citrus and agricultural industry in the City of Redlands to enrich
the soils . As a result, high concentrations of nitrates in the local
ground water basin have created a water quality problem which necessi-
tates the utilization of every practical method to preserve further
degradation of ground water resources. Local climatic, geographical
and topographical conditions render it necessary to protect against
further degradation of the ground water by requiring proper treatment
of sewage effluent at municipal treatment plant facilities wherever
possible. Section 84105 of Ordinance No. 1729 of the City of Redlands
protects against further degradation of the local ground water by modi-
fying Section 1101 (d) of the Uniform Plumbing Code to impose more strin-
gent requirements upon mandatory connections to public sewers within the
City.
SECTION TWO: The City Clerk of the City of Redlands is hereby
directed to send this express finding of need to the Department of
Housing and Community Development pursuant to Health and Safety Code
Section 17958 . 7 and to keep such finding available as a public record
for the City of Redlands .
