Exhibit A
FINDINGS FOR LOCAL AMENDMENTS
TO CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE AND
CALIORNIA EXISTING BUILDING CODE
Section 17958 of the California Health and Safety Code provides that the City may make
changes to the provisions of the California Building Standards Code. Sections 17958.5 and
17958.7 of the Health and Safety Code require that for each proposed local change to those
provisions of the California Building Standards Code which regulate buildings used for human
habitation, the City Council must make findings supporting its determination that each such local
change is reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.
Local building regulations having the effect of amending the uniform codes, which were
adopted by the City prior to November 23, 1970, were unaffected by the regulations of Sections
17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7 of the Health and Safety Code. Therefore, amendments to the
uniform codes which were adopted by the City Council prior to November 23, 1970, and have
been carried through from year to year without significant change, need no required findings.
Also, amendments to provisions not regulating buildings used for human habitation do not
require findings.

Key to Justification for Amendments to Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations
This amendment is justified on the basis of a local climatic condition. The seasonal climatic
conditions during the late summer and fall create severe fire hazards to the public health
and welfare in the City. The hot, dry weather frequently results in wild land fires on the
brush covered slopes west of Interstate 280. The aforementioned conditions combined
with the geological characteristics of the hills within the City create hazardous conditions
for which departure from California Building Standards Code is required.
C
G
T
This amendment is justified on the basis of a local geological condition. The City of Palo
Alto is subject to earthquake hazard caused by its proximity to San Andreas fault. This
fault runs from Hollister, through the Santa Cruz Mountains, epicenter of the 1989 Loma
Prieta earthquake, then on up the San Francisco Peninsula, then offshore at Daly City near
Mussel Rock. This is the approximate location of the epicenter of the 1906 San Francisco
earthquake. The other fault is Hayward Fault. This fault is about 74 mi long, situated
mainly along the western base of the hills on the east side of San Francisco Bay. Both of
these faults are considered major Northern California earthquake faults which may
experience rupture at any time. Thus, because the City is within a seismic area which
includes these earthquake faults, the modifications and changes cited herein are designed
to better limit property damage as a result of seismic activity and to establish criteria for
repair of damaged properties following a local emergency.
The City of Palo Alto topography includes hillsides with narrow and winding access, which
makes timely response by fire suppression and emergency response vehicles difficult. Palo
Alto is contiguous with the San Francisco Bay, resulting in a natural receptor for storm and
waste water run-off. Also the City of Palo Alto is located in an area that is potentially
susceptible to liquefaction during a major earthquake. The surface condition consists mostly
of stiff to dense sandy clay, which is highly plastic and expansive in nature. The
aforementioned conditions within the City create hazardous conditions for which departure
from California Building Standards Code is warranted.
