ORDINANCE NO. NS-333

CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 18 BY THE AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER
18.04, TO ADOPT BY REFERENCE THE UNIFORM BUlLDlNC CODE (1994
EDITION) AND THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE STANDARDS (1994 EDITION).

Carlsbad has many large brush-covered hillsides. The City is subject to a frequent Santa A
condition of dry, gusty winds, which creates extreme fire danger. The City Coun

protection than that provided by the Uniform Building Code, 1994 Edition. Therefo,

fees, and to require all fire retardant roofs and more sprinklered buildings.
