The City Council hereby finds that the changes and modifications to the California Building Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code and Fire Code that have been enacted by this Ordinance are reasonably necessary because of the City’s local climate, characterized by hot, dry summers, often resulting in drought conditions, followed by strong Santa Ana winds, often resulting in hazardous fire conditions, and heavy winter rains, often resulting in expansive soil conditions: the City’s geological characteristics in that the area is characterized by geological instability including active and ancient landslides; and the extremely hilly topography of the City. The City Council hereby further finds that the modifications to the California Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing and Fire Codes in Titles 26, 27, 28, 29, and 32 of the Los Angeles County Code and Chapters 15.04, 15.08, 15.12, 15.16, and 15.20 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code regarding administrative provisions are necessary to allow the uniform application of the codes by procedures suited to the size and nature of the City’s staff and administrative agencies and their experience with local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions and to provide sufficient staff support for the time-consuming inspections and analysis required by the City’s fire and geological hazards. Section 10. To the extent the provision of this ordinance are substantially the same as previous provisions of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, those provisions shall be construed as continuation of those provisions and not as new enactments. Section 11. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council of the City of Rolling Hills hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid. Section 12. State law requires that localities adopt the California Building Standards Codes and modifications thereto, by November 1, 2002. It is essential that the City have in effect on that date codes that comply with state law and contain those modifications necessitated by unique topographic, geologic and climatic conditions. In the absence of immediate effectiveness, the provisions of the Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical and Fire Codes unique to the City’s special circumstances will not be in place and this will have a detrimental effect on the public, health, safety and welfare. The Council finds the modifications in this Ordinance to the California Building Code, Electrical Code, Mechanical Code, Plumbing Code and Fire Code to be necessary for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare, and that this ordinance take effect immediately. For these reasons, the public health, safety and welfare require that this ordinance take effect immediately. This is an urgency ordinance adopted pursuant to Government Code Section 36937. Section 13. This ordinance shall be effective upon adoption and shall become operative on November 1, 2002.
