A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
EXPRESSING FINDINGS THAT PROPOSED AMENDMENTS AND CHANGES TO
THE 1982 EDITIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING, HOUSING, PLUMBING,
MECHANICAL CODES AND THE 1984 EDITION OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE ARE REASONABLY NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LOCAL CLIMATE, GEOLOGICAL
AND TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS AND THAT SUCH AMENDMENTS ARE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 17958 . 5 AND 17958. 7
OF THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, this City Council of the City of Redlands finds and
determines that the protection of the public health, safety and
welfare of the people of Redlands requires that the 1982 Edition
of the Uniform Building, Housing, Plumbing and Mechanical Codes
and the 1984 Edition of the Uniform Electric Code be modified as
set forth in the City of Redlands Ordinance No. 1867 , and
WHEREAS California Health and Safety Code Section 17958 . 5
specifies that any city may make such changes or modifications in
the requirements contained in the provisions of the Uniform Building,
Housing, Plumbing, Mechanical Codes and the National Electrical Code
which are determined as reasonably necessary because of local
climate, geological or topographical conditions, and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Section 17958 . 7
specifies that the governing body of such city make express findings
that such modifications are reasonably necessary because of local
climate, geological or topographical conditions,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS_
1. Amendments and changes to the Uniform Building and Housing
Codes relate to life and fire safety as well as certain modifications
of administrative procedures. The low humidity climatic conditions
together with high summer temperatures and wind which periodically
expose this city to high fire hazardous conditions requires the
Building and Housing Code amendments and changes to provide necessary
protection to public safety and welfare.
2. Amendments and changes to the Uniform Mechanical are dictated
by the necessity to provide necessary sanitation to safeguard the
health of the community. The Uniform Plumbing Code has been amended
and changed to adapt to the geological and topographical conditions
of Redlands.
3 . The Uniform Mechanical Code remains essentially unmodified.
4. The local topographical conditions have resulted in such
population densities that it is necessary for the purpose of public
safety to amend the Electrical Code by adding a section which
prohibits any new electrical fence installation.
