NEALIS, CITY MANAGER YOLANTA SCHWARTZ, PLANNING DIRECTOR ORDINANCE NO. 298-U. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS ADOPTING BY REFERENCE TITLE 27 OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY CODE, INCORPORATING THE CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE, 2004 EDITION; MAKING AMENDMENTS TO SAID CODE; AMENDING CHAPTER 15.16 OF TITLE 15 OF THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE; AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF. BACKGROUND Traditionally, the City of Rolling Hills has adopted the most recent Los Angeles County Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical and Fire Codes shortly after their adoption by the County. State law requires that the County codes contain the same requirements as are contained in the building standards published in the California Building Standards Codes. State law allows the County to change or modify these requirements only if it determines that such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic or topographical conditions. The last time the City Council adopted County codes by reference was on October 28, 2002. Since that time the 2004 California Electrical Code was published and it is required that the County and Cities using the County Codes amend their electrical code to be in conformance with the state's requirements. On September 1, 2005, the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance, which amends Title 27 (Electrical Code) of the Los Angeles County Code to account for the recent changes in the California Building Standards Code. These changes and modifications became effective immediately. The changes that affect residential uses are minor and pertain to technical aspects of electrical elements, which support health and safety requirements. ®Printecl on FiecycIr n I'>r,r•n In order for the City of Rolling Hills to adopt these amendments by reference and have them be effective immediately, it is necessary to adopt an urgency ordinance. The attached Ordinance No. 298-U has been prepared by staff and reviewed by the City Attorney. If the City fails to adopt the County ordinance, the electrical code published by the State will automatically become law within the City. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council waive further reading and adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 298-U. 1 ORDINANCE NO. 298-U AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS ADOPTING BY REFERENCE TITLE 27 OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY CODE, INCORPORATING THE CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE, 2004 EDITION; MAKING AMENDMENTS TO SAID CODE; AMENDING CHAPTER 15.16 OF TITLE 15 OF THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE; AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF.
