WHEREAS, a Public Hearing Notice for January 27, 2026 was published in accordance with Government Code section 6066. NOW THEREFORE,THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK, CALIFORNIA, does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION 1. AMENDMENT. Section 1 of Ordinance No. 989 is hereby amended by repealing Section 1 in its entirety and replacing it as set forth below, to add findings 11-13 to Section 1.E, to read 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. 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 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 Appendices adopted by this ordinance and as described in Chapter 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 13 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. Ordinance No. 990 Page 2 of 6 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, 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, D 103.4, 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. Ordinance No. 990 Page 3 of 6 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 help minimize the spread of wildfires. Modifications to the CFC to increase the accessibility of firefighting infrastructure including on and offsite fire hydrants, increased water flow and pressure and streets that can accommodate firefighting 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. 11. Adoption of the CBC Existing Building Code Appendix A4 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 standards in the appendix ensure that risk of earthquake damaged is minimized when existing wood frame buildings are modified. 12. Adoption of CFC Appendix J 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 adequate building information signs to support emergency response. 13. Adoption of CFC Appendices E, F, G, I, K, L, and P 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 the Fire Marshal to maintain and have access to adequate inventories of hazardous and flammable materials and to enforce certain minimum construction standards to ensure emergency responders have the information and ability to contain fires. 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 No. 990 Page 4 of 6 Ordinance." SECTION 2. AMENDMENT. Section 11 of Ordinance No. 989 is hereby amended by repealing and replacing Section 15.28.010 and Section 903.2.24 adopting and amending the California Fire Code to read as follows: "Section 15.28.010—Adopted—2025 California Fire Code The 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code, known as California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 9, published by the California Building Standards Commission, including all indices and appendices B, C, D, E, F, G, I, J.

Where a subsequent occupancy change requires a system with greater capacity, it shall be the building owners' responsibility to upgrade the system to the required density and meet any additional requirements of Chapter 15.28 of this Title at the time of such change. Exception: Does not apply to residential units." All other provisions of Section 11 of Ordinance No. 989 not specifically amended herein shall remain unchanged. SECTION 3. AMENDMENT. Section 9 of Ordinance No. 989 is hereby amended by repealing and replacing Section 15.24.020 amending the California Existing Building Code to read as follows: "Section 15.24.020 - Appendix Chapters Added. Ordinance No. 989 Page 13 of 22 Appendix Chapters A3 (Prescriptive Provisions for Seismic Strengthening of Cripple Walls and Sill Plate Anchorage of Light, Wood-Frame Residential Buildings and Appendix Chapter), A4 (Earthquake Risk Reduction in Wood-Frame Residential Buildings with Soft, Weak or Open Front Walls) shall be considered as part of the body of the code as adopted in Section 15.24.010." All other provisions of Section 9 of Ordinance No. 989 not specifically amended herein shall remain unchanged. SECTION 4. SEVERABILITY Should any section,subsection,paragraph,sentence,clause,or phrase of this ordinance be declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such declaration shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

SECTION 6. PUBLICATION The Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published in the manner required by law. SECTION 7. FILING WITH BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION The Clerk shall cause a certified copy of this Ordinance to be filed with the California Building Standards Commission in the manner required by law. SECTION 8.
