Ordinance No. 5666
Emergency Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending Chapter
16.04 (California Building Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 2,
Volumes 1 & 2), 16.05 (California Mechanical Code, California Code of
Regulations, Title 24, Part 4), and 16.14 (California Green Building Standards
Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 11) of the Palo Alto Municipal
Code to Make Non-Substantive Changes Addressing Comments from the
California Building Standards Commission
The Council of the City of Palo Alto does ORDAIN as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and Declarations.
A.Every three years, a new version of the California Building Standards Code (CBSC,
or Title 24) is published. Local jurisdictions may enforce the model code as
published or, subject to certain requirements, adopt local amendments. State law
requires that ordinances amending the statewide codes be filed with and approved
by the California Building Standards Commission (BSC).
B.During the 2022 building code adoption cycle, the City Council adopted Ordinances
5564, 5565, and 5626, adopting the California Building Code, California Mechanical
Code, and California Green Building Standards Code, respectively, including local
amendments.
C.After staff filed ordinances 5564, 5565, and 5626 with the BSC, the BSC identified
minor deficiencies in those ordinances. Namely, the BSC requested that the City
adopt additional findings to support several of the amendments and move some
amendments to the Green Building Standards Code from the “definitions” section
to the body text of the code.
D.The purpose of this ordinance is to cure the deficiencies identified by the BSC
without changing what the City’s adopted codes require.
E.The City’s local amendments are more restrictive building standards than those
provided in the California Building Standards Code.
F.The changes shown in this ordinance are relative to the existing provisions of the
Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) as adopted by Ordinances 5564, 5565, and 5626.
G.Recent legislation, Assembly Bill (AB) 130 (2025), limits local jurisdictions’ authority
to amend the California Building Standards Code beginning October 1, 2025, and
ending June 1, 2031. The Council desires to make these amendments effective
before the AB 130 moratorium begins.
H.The Council declares that this emergency ordinance, which is effective
immediately, is necessary as an emergency measure to preserve the public peace,
health, or safety by ensuring that the City may enforce all of its local amendments

to the California Building Code, the California Mechanical Code, and the California
Green Building Standards Code during the AB 130 moratorium.
I.California Health and Safety Code sections 17958.5 and 17958.7 requires that the
City, in order to make changes or modifications in the requirements contained in
the California Building Standards Code on the basis of local conditions, make
express finding that such modifications or changes are reasonably necessary
because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.
J.The required findings are attached to this ordinance as Exhibit A.
SECTION 2. The City Council finds that the local amendments to California Building
Code Section 105.2 codified at PAMC 16.04.110 by Ordinance No. 5564, to the extent they are
not administrative amendments, are justified by local geological and topographical conditions.
The full findings related to local geological and topographical conditions are attached to this
ordinance as Exhibit A.
SECTION 3. Section 16.05.050 Appendices of Chapter 16.05 (California Mechanical
Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 4) of Title 16 (Building Standards) of the Palo
Alto Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows (deletion in strikethrough):

301.1.1 Residential additions and alterations. [HCD] The Mandatory provisions of
Chapter 4 shall be applied to additions and/or alterations of existing residential
buildings where the addition and/or alteration increases the building's conditioned
area, volume, or size. The requirements shall apply only to and/or within the specific
area of the addition or alteration.
Tier 1 adopted (Residential). All residential building additions and/or alterations
exceeding 1000 square feet must meet CALGreen Mandatory plus the Tier 1 measures,
as amended by this Chapter and as applicable to the scope of work.
For Tier 1 projects, the area of alterations will include any construction or renovation
to an existing structure other than repair or addition. Alterations include raising the
plate height, historic restoration, changes or rearrangements of the structural parts or
elements, and changes or rearrangement of bearing walls and full height partitions.
Normal maintenance, reroofing, painting or wall papering, floor finishes, replacement-
in-kind of mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems, or replacing or adding new
kitchen counter and similar furniture, plumbing fixture to the building are excluded for
the purposes of establishing scope of Tier 1 projects.
The area of alteration should be limited to the footprint of element(s) being altered.
This does not exclude mandatory CALGreen measures. The sum of the footprint of the
elements being altered with respect to Tier 1, shall be calculated using the following
methodology:
1.Raising the plate height: The calculation with respect to raising of the plate
height will be based on the area of the footprint in which the plate height is being
increased. Plate height means the vertical distance measured from the top of the
finished floor to the top of the plates.
2.Historic restoration: The calculation with respect to historic restoration will be
based on the area of work covered in the California Historical Building Code (Title
24, Part 8).
3.Structural parts or elements: The calculation with respect to changes or
rearrangements of the structural parts or elements will be based on the sum of the
individual footprints of each structural change or rearrangement. The footprint
shall be calculated based on the proposed design and inclusive of any demolished
structural parts or elements.
4.Bearing walls and full height partition: The calculation with
respect to changes or rearrangement of walls and full height partitions will be
based on the footprint of any demolished wall or full height partition and any new

replacement of 50% or more linear length of the existing exterior walls of the building,
50% or more linear length of the existing exterior wall where the plate height is raised,
or 50% or more of the existing roof framing area is removed or replaced, over a 3-year
period is considered a substantial remodel.
Any permit(s) applied for will trigger a review of a 3-year history of the project. This
review will result in determining if a substantial remodel has occurred.
The Chief Building Official or designee shall make the final determination regarding the
application if a conflict occurs.

Exhibit A
FINDINGS FOR LOCAL AMENDMENTS TO CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, TITLE 24, PART 2,
VOLUMES 1 AND 2; CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE, TITLE 24, PART 4; AND CALIFORNIA GREEN
BUILDING STANDARDS CODE, TITLE 24, PART 11
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
A This is an administrative amendment to clarify and establish civil and administrative
procedures, regulations, or rules to enforce and administer the activities by the Palo Alto
Building Inspection Department. These administrative amendments do not need to meet
HSC 18941.5/17958/13869 per HSC 18909(c).
C 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. Natural gas
combustion and gas appliances emit a wide range of air pollutants, such as carbon
monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx, including nitrogen dioxide (NO2)), particulate
matter (PM), and formaldehyde, which according to a UCLA Study, have been linked to
various acute and chronic health effects, and additionally exceed levels set by national
and California-based ambient air quality standards. The burning of fossil fuels used in the
generation of electric power and heating of buildings contributes to climate change,
which could result in rises in sea level, including in San Francisco Bay, that could put at
risk Palo Alto homes and businesses, public facilities, and Highway 101 (Bayshore
Docusign Envelope ID: CD2AB213-7A9D-4506-A59A-2D0D6C12B315

0290177_20250825_ms29
Freeway), particularly the mapped Flood Hazard areas of the City. Energy efficiency is a
key component in reducing GHG emissions, and construction of more energy efficient
buildings can help Palo Alto reduce its share of the GHG emissions that contribute to
climate change. All-electric new buildings benefit the health, safety, and welfare, of Palo
Alto and its residents. Requiring all-electric construction, without gas infrastructure will
reduce the amount of greenhouse gas produced in Palo Alto and will contribute to
reducing the impact of climate change and the associated risks. Due to decrease in annual
rain fall, Palo Alto experiences the effect of drought and water saving more than some
other communities in California. Embodied carbon of concrete is a significant contributor
to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and this amendment includes a
requirement to use low-carbon concrete. Providing additional capacity for electric vehicle
use reduces use of gasoline which is a major contributor to climate change.
E Green building enhances the public health and welfare by promoting the environmental
and economic health of the City through the design, construction, maintenance,
operation and deconstruction of buildings and sites by incorporating green practices into
all development. The green provisions in this Chapter are designed to achieve the
following goals:
(a)Increase energy efficiency in buildings;
(b)Reduce the use of natural gas in buildings which improves indoor environmental
quality and health;
(c)Reduce the use of natural gas which will reduce the natural gas infrastructure and
fire risk over time;
(d)Reduce the embodied carbon of concrete which reduces greenhouse gas
emissions;
(e)Increase water and resource conservation;
(f)Reduce waste generated by construction and demolition projects;
(g)Provide durable buildings that are efficient and economical to own and operate;
(h)Promote the health and productivity of residents, workers, and visitors to the city;
(i)Recognize and conserve the energy embodied in existing buildings;
(j)Increase capacity for use of electric vehicles which reduces greenhouse gas
emissions and improves air quality;
(k)Encourage alternative transportation; and
(l)Reduce disturbance of natural ecosystems.
G 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
Docusign Envelope ID: CD2AB213-7A9D-4506-A59A-2D0D6C12B315

0290177_20250825_ms29
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. Reduction or eliminating of
natural gas infrastructure over time will reduce maintenance costs and fire risk in difficult
geological conditions.
T The City of Palo Alto topography includes hillsides with narrow and winding access, which
makes timely response by fire suppression 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. In addition, the reduction or elimination of natural gas
infrastructure reduces the likelihood of fire or environmental damage should they
become disrupted due to challenging topographic conditions during construction or
repair.
