NOW THEREFORE,THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK,
CALIFORNIA, does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings.
The City Council finds that:
A. The City is authorized and required to adopt the California Building Standards Code
by reference pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 17922 and 17958, and has
taken all actions required to do so pursuant to Government Code Section 50022. 2.
B. In accordance with CEQA Section 15061(b) (3), this is not a project subject to CEQA
in that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect
on the environment.
C. This ordinance is enacted pursuant to Health & Safety Code Sections 17958. 5 and
17958. 7 and Government Code Section 50022. 2 to make local amendments to the
California Building Standards Code.
Docusign Envelope ID:CB4E9F64-AAF7-479B-A5B8-7BE506D2F88D
D. The Council has reviewed the local amendments set forth herein and finds that they
are consistent with and equivalent to changes or modifications previously filed by the
City of Rohnert Park with the State Building Standards Commission in 2022
amending the 2022 Building Standards and there is no material change in regulatory
effect to the standards in effect in the City of Rohnert Park as of September 30, 2025.
Additionally, certain changes or modifications previously filed relate to home
hardening and continue to be necessary due to local climatic, geologic or
topographical conditions, as described below.
E. As required Health and Safety Code 17958.7(a), the amendments to the California
Building Standards Code adopted by this ordinance and as described in Chapters 15.
08 through 15. 28 are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety and
welfare due to the local climatic, geologic or topographical conditions as described in
findings 1 through 10 below.
1. Modification of California Building Code (CBC) Section 105.2 is necessary
because the City' s topographic development pattern of residential parcels on
relatively small lots necessitates the ability for some property owners to install
screening fences in order to preserve private enjoyment of their property.
2. Modification to CBC Sections 107.2.9 and 110.7 are necessary because of the
City' s topographic development pattern utilizing master home plans. The ability
of the building official to secure photographic evidence and mitigate concealed
construction is necessary to ensure safe and consistent implementation of
approved plans.
3. Modification of CBC Section 420.17 and 1503.6 is necessary because the City is
underlain by highly expansive soils with shrink- swell potential that can damage
building foundations and concrete slabs. Rain gutters, downspouts, rain leaders,
splash blocks and concrete landings all provide a means to keep rainwater away
from foundations and slabs and minimize the potential for the underlying
expansive soils to damage structures.
4. Modification of CBC Section 502 and California Fire Code (CFC) Sections 505.1,
505.1.1, 505.1.2, and 505.1.3 is necessary because the City's pattern of thick
seasonal fog coupled with its many street cul-de-sacs and multi-family complexes
and the distance between emergency response facilities require street numbers on
buildings to be clearly visible at all hours in order to support emergency response.
5. Modification of CBC Section 1705.13.10 is necessary because the City is located
near several known, active seismic faults that have a history of and the potential
to cause severe ground movement, ground shaking, ground failure, land siding,
lateral spreading and ground liquefaction. The design features that allow buildings
to resist seismic damage are highly specialized and require special inspection
expertise to ensure the design is implemented properly.
6. Modification of CBC Sections 1808.6.2.1 and 1907.2 is necessary' because The
City is underlain by highly expansive soils and a high groundwater table,
subjecting concrete slabs to locally unique foundation conditions. Minimum
standards for engineered subgrade and slab reinforcement allow concrete slabs to
better resist these soil conditions.
7. Modification of California Residential Code(CRC) Section R309.2.2, and CFC
Sections 101.6, 202, 901.7, 902.1, 903.2, 903.2.22-24, 903.3, 903.3.1.1,
Ordinance No. 989
Page 2 of 22
Docusign Envelope ID:CB4E9F64-AAF7-479B-A5B8-7BE506D2F88D
903.3.1.1.1, 903.3.1.2, 903.3.1.3.1, 903.4.2, 907.2, 907.2.8.1, is necessary because
the City is bisected by Highway 101 and the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit
(SMART) rail corridor. The railroad and freeway create barriers, which obstruct
traffic patterns and delay response time for fire equipment. In addition, the City is
located near several active seismic faults that have a history of and the potential to
cause severe ground movement, ground shaking, ground failure, land siding,
lateral spreading and ground liquefaction, which can damage infrastructure and
delay response time.This creates the need for conservatively designed fire alarm
and sprinkler systems which ensure rapid notice to emergency responders and
ability to contain and suppress fires with sprinklers onsite. These conditions also
create a need to ensure that emergency responders are not consistently called to
false alarms.
8. Modification of CRC Sections R408.1, R806.1, and R902.1 and CFC Sections
304.1.3, 304.1.3.1, 304.1.3.2, 308.1.11, 507.5.1, 507.5.1.1,Appendix B Section
B 105.1, Section B105.2, including Table B105.2,Appendix C Section C103.3,
Appendix D Sections D103.2, D103.3, D103.4, D103.6, D106.1 and D106.2 is
necessary because the City located at near the urban wildland interface and
bordered on all sides by undeveloped community separator lands, which are
crossed by overhead power lines. During the summer and fall months the
combination of dry vegetation and seasonally high winds and temperatures have
historically and are expected to continue to produce conditions where wildfires
can occur. Modifications to the CRC to improve the fire resistance of residential
construction help protect homes against embers from wildfires. Modifications to
the CFC to ensure neighborhood vegetation is cleared helps minimize the spread
of wildfires. Modifications to the CFD to increase the accessibility of fire fighting
infrastructure including on and offsite fire hydrants, increased water flow and
pressure and streets that can accommodate fire fighting equipment support the
city' s ability to fight wildfire.
9. Modification of California Electrical Code (CEC) Section 230.79(E) is necessary
because the City is bisected by Highway 101 and the SMART rail corridor. The
railroad and freeway create barriers, which obstruct traffic patterns. Upgrading
ageing and undersized electrical systems, when appropriately triggered,
minimizes the risk of fire, which is exacerbated by the local conditions
topographic conditions that delay emergency response.
10. Modification of California Plumbing Code (CPC) Sections 301.2.6 and 604.1 is
necessary because the soils within the City are considered acidic, creating a
deleterious effect on metal piping placed underground.
While the adoption of the amendments to the California Building Standards Code and the
adoption of Ordinances may not prevent the incidence of fire or potential building hazards, it is
noted the implementation of these various amendments will reduce the severity and potential loss
of life and loss of property.
The following revisions to the Rohnert Park Municipal Code are made based on the findings set
forth above and the record of proceedings for consideration of this Ordinance.
