ORDINANCE NO. NS - 3 9 8
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CARLSBAD, AMENDING TITLE 18, SECTION
18.04.230 PROHIBITING WOOD SHAKES AND SHINGLES
AS A ROOF COVERING.
The City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: WHEREAS, the City of Carlsbad is supplied with water and sc
certain areas by other entities. It has been necessary in the past to amend portions of the I-
Building Code to allocate sewer use (Sections 106.4.1 and 106.4.4). Other City amendn
the Uniform Building Code are in reference to fire protection. The City of Carlsbad ha:
brush covered hillsides and canyons where accessibility for fire fighting equipment a
prevention measures is limited or impossible. Carlsbad has many open space easements
in perpetuity and areas of protected natural habitats immediately adjacent to developec
throughout the city. Carlsbad has steep canyon terrain, and is subject to hot, dry, high
Santa Ana winds on an annual basis. This combination of climactic and topographic con1
creates extreme fire danger. The City Council finds that these climatic and topog
conditions, and the City’s experience with the Harmony Grove fire of 1996 necessitate cl
in the Uniform Building Code in conformance with Health and Safety Code Section 17
Therefore, Chapter 18.04 should now be further amended to alter the Uniform Building C
prohibit wood shake and shingle roofs, as well as require prepaid sewer and water fee
require all other roofs to be fire retardant, and provide more sprinklered buildings.
SECTION 2: That Title 18, Chapter 18.04 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code is an
by the amendment of section 18.04.230 to read as follows:
“1 8.04.230 Section 1501 amended - Scope. Section 1501 of the Uniform Building
I shall be amended to read: ! Roofs and roof structures shall be as specified in this Code and as otherwise requij
this Chapter.
