18.04.340 - Findinas.
The City of Carlsbad is supplied with water and sewer in certain
areas by other entities. It has been necessary in the past to allocate sewer use. (Sections 303(a) and 303(d)). The Seismic Zone Map, Figure
No. 1, does not clearly show which seismic zone contains the City of
Carlsbad. (Section 2301). All other amendments are in reference to fire
protection. The City of Carlsbad has many large brush-covered hillsides.
The City is subject to a frequent Santa Ana condition of dry, gusty
winds, which creates extreme fire danger. The City Council specifically finds that these geographic and topographic conditions necessitate greater control of seismic location, of fees, clarity, and greater fire protection than that provided by the Uniform Building Code, 1985 Edition.
Therefore, this chapter has altered the Uniform Building Code to require
prepaid sewer and water fees, to determine a specific seismic zone, and to
require all fire retardant roofs and more sprinklered buildings.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This ordinance shall be effective thirty days
after its adoption, and the City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
ordinance and cause it to be published at least once in the Carlsbad
Journal within fifteen days after its adoption.
