URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 3019

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE AMENDING CHAPTERS

15.01 THROUGH 15.05 AND 15.38 OF THE EL MONTE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT THE 2023 LOS ANGELES COUNTY TITLE 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, AND 33 AMENDMENTS TO THE 2022 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE STANDARDS, INCLUDING THE BUILDING, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, MECHANICAL, RESIDENTIAL, GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS, AND EXISTING BUILDING CODES

WHEREAS, Government Code Section 50022.9 permits the City of El Monte (the “City”) to adopt, by reference, the Los Angeles County codes as the City’s codes; and

WHEREAS, the California Building Code Standards (the “California Building Code”) establishes statewide codes and regulations for building construction and fire safety and is published every three years by order of the California Legislature; and

WHEREAS, the 2022 California Building Code is based upon the International Code Council’s (“ICC”) 2021 International Building Standards Code; and

WHEREAS, the 2022 California Building Code was published on July 1, 2022, and became effective on January 1, 2023; and

WHEREAS, California Health & Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 18941.5 authorize cities and counties to modify the California Building Code by adopting more restrictive standards and modifications if such standards and modifications are accompanied by express findings that they are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions, and

WHEREAS, on November 15, 2022, the County of Los Angeles adopted more restrictive standards and modifications to the 2022 California Building Codes, as memorialized in the 2023 Los Angeles County Building Codes (Building Code, Residential Code, Electrical Code, Mechanical, Plumbing Code, Green Building Code, and Existing Building Code); and

WHEREAS, the City has historically adopted the Los Angeles County codes with their local amendments in order to establish a uniformity of standards which serve to minimize conflict and confusion in addressing the community’s public peace, health and safety needs; and

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of El Monte (the “City Council”) finds that the standards and modifications are based on local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions which include, but are not limited to the following:

1. The City is subject to relatively low amounts of precipitation, very low humidity levels, and extremely high temperatures. These climatic conditions are conducive to the spread of drought conditions and fires.

2. The warm, dry climate in the City is conducive to the construction and maintenance of swimming pools, which create a higher probability of child drownings; and

3. The City is in close proximity to the San Andreas Fault and other earthquake faults within the County of Los Angeles. The height limits on accessory structures are reasonably necessary because such structures are not otherwise subject to a building permit and design review, and as a result they are not subjected review for compliance with the Code’s seismic structural building standards.

WHEREAS, the aforementioned geologic and climatic conditions have also contributed to the loss or damage of 262 homes in the Anaheim fire of 1982, 71 homes in the Baldwin Hills fire of 1985, 33 homes in the Porter Ranch fire of 1988, 162 homes in the Santa Barbara fire of 1990, 3300 homes in the Oakland fire of 1991, 2,232 homes in the Cedar fire of 2003, 1500 homes in the Southern California wildfires of 2007; and more recently, 1,311 structures were lost in the Dixie fire of 2021.

WHEREAS, these fires have resulted in the tragic loss of lives along with enormous property losses; and

WHEREAS, Government Code Sections 36934 and 36937 expressly authorize the City Council to adopt an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The facts set forth in the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full.

SECTION 2. The “2023 Los Angeles County Building Code” means and refers to the Los Angeles County amendments to the 2022 California Building Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2022.

SECTION 3. The “2023 Los Angeles County Residential Code” means and refers to the Los Angeles County amendments to the 2022 California Residential Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2022.

SECTION 4. The “2023 Los Angeles County Plumbing Code” means and refers to the Los Angeles County amendments to the 2022 California Plumbing Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2022.

SECTION 5. The “2023 Los Angeles County Mechanical Code” means and refers to the Los Angeles County amendments to the 2022 California Mechanical Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2022.

SECTION 6. The “2023 Los Angeles County Green Building Standards Code” means and refers to the Los Angeles County amendments to the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2022.

SECTION 7. The “2023 Los Angeles County Existing Building Code” means and refers to the Los Angeles County amendments to the 2022 California Existing Building Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2022.

SECTION 8. Title 15 (Building and Construction) of the El Monte Municipal Code is hereby amended by the amendment of Chapter 15.01 (Building Code) of the El Monte Municipal Code in its entirety so as to adopt and incorporate by reference the provisions of the 2023 Los Angeles County Building Code and the 2022 Los Angeles County Residential Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2022. In so adopting and incorporating by reference the provisions of the 2023 Los Angeles County Building Code and the 2023 Los Angeles County Residential Code amendments to the 2022 Edition of the California Building Code and the 2022 Edition of the California Residential Code, it is the intent of the City to adopt and incorporate by reference the 2021 Edition of the International Building Code and the 2021 Edition of the International Residential Code, respectively, of the International Code Council to the same extent they were adopted and amended by the State of California by way of the California Building Code, 2022 Edition and the California Residential Code, 2022 Edition — all subject to additional City modifications detailed below.

SECTION 9. The amendment of Chapter 15.01 of the El Monte Municipal Code shall not apply to or excuse any violation thereof occurring prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, nor shall it affect any punishment or penalty imposed before these amendments take effect, or any suit, prosecution, or proceeding pending at the time of amendments, for any offense committed under the previous provisions. Further, the code provisions adopted and incorporated herein by reference shall be in full force and shall be applicable to construction wherein plans have been submitted on or after the effective date of this Ordinance.

SECTION 10. The City Council finds as follows:

A. The amendments to Section 15.01.040 and 15.01.540 are reasonably necessary because of the City’s proximity to the San Andreas Fault and additional earthquake faults in the area. The height limits on accessory structures are reasonably necessary because such structures are not otherwise subject to a building permit and design review, and as a result they are not subjected to review for compliance with the Code’s seismic structural building standards. Accessory structures and other buildings that have not been reviewed for compliance with seismic standards are more likely to have been built to less stringent standards, and therefore such structures are more likely to be susceptible to collapse or other structural failure during a seismic event. The height limit on such buildings is reasonably necessary to attempt to prevent or minimize structural compromise of such buildings should a seismic event occur.

B. The amendments adopting permit and height limits on masonry and concrete fencing is reasonably necessary due to the City’s proximity to major earthquake faults. Concrete and masonry walls exceeding three feet in height are subject to a higher likelihood of cracking, collapse, and other structural failure during seismic events, which warrants the permit requirement for such fences. The permit requirement for concrete and masonry fences exceeding 3 feet in height is reasonably necessary in attempting to prevent or minimize structural compromise of such fences should a seismic event occur.

SECTION 11. Chapter 15.01 of the El Monte Municipal Code is amended in its entirety to state as follows:

Ordinance 1013 (Planned Development 22-01 and Zone Change 22-01)

Mission Villas, LLC is proposing the development of 37 two-story dwelling units, eight of which will be developed utilizing the City’s Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance. In addition, four out of the 37 units will be designated as affordable units. The dwellings will range in size from 1,546 to 2,553 square feet with four different floor plans. Of the 37 units, 29 would be four-bedroom single family dwelling units, four would be three-bedroom duplexes, and four would be four-bedroom duplexes. All units will include an enclosed two-car garage. The project also includes 25 guest parking spaces and access would be provided via one 40-foot-wide driveway on Mission Drive.

Environmental Determination

DERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER:

The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that
