WHEREAS, the State of California, through the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC), has adopted the 2025 edition of the California Building Standards Code (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations), including all parts thereof, which will become effective statewide on January 1, 2026; WHEREAS, the California Building Standards Code is updated triennially, and the 2025 edition will go into effect statewide on January 1, 2026, requiring municipalities to update their local codes to remain in compliance with state law; WHEREAS, under the California Building Standards Law (Health & Safety Code § 18901 et seq.) and the State Housing Law (Health & Safety Code § 17958), all cities and counties are required to adopt and enforce the state building standards within their jurisdiction; WHEREAS, the City is required to adopt the 2025 Title 24 codes (also sometimes called the 2025 California Building Standards Code) by ordinance, including any state -mandated updates and amendments to parts of Title 24; WHEREAS, the City desires to maintain consistency with the state standards for the promotion of public health; safety, welfare, accessibility, environmental protection, energy efficiency, fire safety, seismic safety and durability of buildings; WHEREAS, local conditions in the City (including climatic, geological and topographical conditions) warrant certain local amendments or modifications to the state code in order to ensure that such standards are reasonably adapted to local needs while not being less protective than the state minimum; WHEREAS, recent legislative changes (e.g., applicable to modifications of residential building standards under AB 130 (2025) impose constraints on local amendments to state building standards, and require express findings under certain exceptions including: 1. The changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the governing body of the city or county and were in effect as of September 30, 2025; 2. The changes or modifications are necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety; or 3. The changes or modifications are necessary to implement a local code amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025, and that permits mixed -fuel residential construction consistent with federal law while also incentivizing all -electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy. City.Council Ordinance No. 2336 2025 California Buildina Code (PLN-2025-129 Page 2 of 45 4. The changes are related to Home Hardening and wildfire resistance and proposed by a local fire prevention district pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 13869.7. 5. The changes or modifications are related to administrative practices pursuant to HSC 18942 and intended to result in a. Time reduction for permit issue. b. Alterations to post -entitlement fee schedules. c. Modernization or adaption of new permitting platforms and software to ease, streamline, and reduce the time required for permit approvals. WHEREAS, the City has conducted appropriate public notice and held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance in accordance with applicable law, including the Health & Safety Code, Government Code, and the procedures required by the California Building Standards Commission; WHEREAS, the City Council finds that adoption of local amendments to the 2025 California Building Standards Code is reasonably necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. In particular, the amendments respond to local climatic conditions (including high winds, extreme heat, and seasonal rainfall that increase fire spread, flooding, and structural risks), geologic conditions (including seismic activity, ground shaking, and liquefaction hazards requiring enhanced structural design), and topographical conditions (including wildland-urban interface areas, hillside terrain, and flood -prone zones that elevate risks of fire, landslides, and drainage impacts). These local conditions warrant more stringent standards to reduce the likelihood of structural failure, fire spread, or other hazards, thereby ensuring that buildings and structures within the City are designed and maintained to provide a greater level of safety for occupants, first responders, and the public at large; WHEREAS, this Ordinance includes the reenactment of modifications that were originally enacted prior to September 30, 2025 and any associated findings supporting their initial enactment and accounting for the entirety of the administrative record; WHEREAS, newer electrical code requirements for dedicated circuitry, together with evolving product manufacturer safety standards, and newer code provisions for Arc -Fault and Ground - Fault protection (AFCI and GFCI), align with the State of California's electrification goals and the City of Campbell's General Plan; WHEREAS, Campbell experiences sustained seasonal temperatures above 82°F, with periodic extreme heat events exceeding 100°F, necessitating the increased use and installation of HVAC systems that place higher demands on existing electrical infrastructure; WHEREAS, the State of California continues to experience catastrophic wildfire events, worsened by climate change and prolonged drought, which have resulted in the loss of lives, homes, and access to affordable homeowners' insurance; WHEREAS, homeowners increasingly seek to add electrical circuitry for.solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS), and energy storage systems (ESS), City Council Ordinance No. 2336 Page 3 of 45 2025 California Building Code (PLN-2025-129) in alignment with the greenhouse gas policies of the City's General Plan, which was adopted on April 18, 2023; WHEREAS, the majority of Campbell's housing stock was constructed prior to modern electrical and HVAC standards, leading to widespread use of outdated and undersized electrical panels incompatible, with current electrical demands and safety requirements; WHEREAS, historically, main electrical panels were sized by load rather than by wire and breaker fill capacity, and electrical inspectors have regularly observed violations of California Electrical Code Section 314.16 in existing main panels, thereby creating potential fire and safety compromises; WHEREAS, any permit to add additional wiring, breakers, or devices into an existing electric panel is required to submit a wire fill calculation per CA Electrical Code Article 314 and accepting that few applicants can correctly produce the calculation will have an option to simply increase the size of the main panel to 200amp, thereby providing room for the additional wires, dedicated breakers, ground fault and arc fault protections and future expansion of the electrical system; WHEREAS, any permit involving the addition of wiring, breakers, or devices to an existing electrical panel is required to include a wire fill calculation in accordance with California Electrical Code Article 314; WHEREAS, recognizing that few applicants are able to accurately prepare this calculation, applicants may instead elect to upgrade the main electrical panel to a 200-amp capacity, providing sufficient space for additional wiring, dedicated breakers, ground -fault and arc -fault protection, and future system expansion; WHEREAS, overloading of electrical panels due to added HVAC units, Ground Fault and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCl/AFCI) requirements, electric vehicle chargers, and solar photovoltaic systems presents a significant fire risk and hazard to public safety; WHEREAS, the California Electrical Code sets strict limits on wire -fill and breaker configurations in electrical panels, and most residential applicants lack the technical expertise to complete code -compliant calculations, increasing the risk of unsafe installations; WHEREAS, the City's proposed Title 18, Chapter 18.16 amendment will streamline permit review and improve safety outcomes by allowing specified electrical upgrades without requiring wire -fill calculations when certain thresholds and safeguards are met; WHEREAS, Campbell is not currently located in a State Responsibility Area (SRA) or designated as a high -fire severity zone, and thus is not required to adopt the WUI Code, yet voluntary adoption of WUI standards supports proactive home hardening, resilience, and fire insurance retention; WHEREAS, the proposed Title 18, Chapter 18.03 amendment enables residents and developers to utilize the WUI Code as a reference guide for voluntary fire protection upgrades, thereby promoting community resilience and potentially reducing long-term disaster recovery costs; City Council Ordinance No. 2336 Page 4 of 45 2025 California Building Code (PLN-2025-129) WHEREAS, a study by the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) found that every $1 invested in implementing wildfire resilience measures can yield up to $8 in avoided losses, demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of proactive home hardening; WHEREAS, the proposed Ordinance includes findings that demonstrate the necessity of the local amendments due to local climatic conditions, such as heat, fire risk, and building electrification trends, and will be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission for validation; WHEREAS, the proposed amendments are not anticipated to significantly increase construction costs and instead aim to clarify administrative policy, improve public safety, streamline permitting, and ensure long-term code compliance; WHEREAS, the City has made the required, findings for any proposed local amendments to the 2025 code, as reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions (or other categories permitted by law), and these findings are on the record; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Code (with the specified local amendments) is in the public interest and will serve to protect the public health, safety, welfare, property, environment and accessibility of persons with disabilities within the City.

Staff time to process the refund will be subtracted from the refund. The building official shall not authorize refunding of any fee paid except on written application filed by the original permit holder not later than 180 days after the date of fee payment." (c) Section 1905.1.7, ACI 318 Section.14.1.4 shall be replaced with the following: 14.1.4 - Plain concrete in structures assigned to Seismic Design Category C, D, E or F. 14.1.4.1- Structures assigned to Seismic Design Category C, D, E or F shall not have elements of structural plain concrete, except as follows: (a) Left intentionally blank. (b) Isolated footings of plain concrete supporting pedestals or columns are permitted, provided the projection of the footing beyond the face of the supported member does not exceed the footing thickness. (c) Plain concrete footing supporting walls are permitted, provided the footings have at least two continuous longitudinal reinforcing bars. Bars shall not be smaller than No. 4 and shall have a City Council Ordinance No. 2336 2025 California Buildinq Code (PLN-2025-129 Page 27 of 45 total area of not less than 0.002 times the gross cross -sectional area of the footing. A minimum of one bar shall be provided at the top and bottom of the footing. Continuity of reinforcement shall be provided at corners and intersections. RATIONALE: The proposed amendment addresses the problem of poor performance of plain concrete or under - reinforced concrete footings during a seismic event. This amendment reflects the recommendations by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEACSC) and the Los Angeles City Joint Task Force that investigated the poor performance of plain and under -reinforced concrete footing observed in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. (d) Section 1705.3 Concrete Construction. Shall be modified to read: CBC 1705.3 Concrete construction. The special inspections and verifications for concrete construction shall be as required by this section and Table 1705.3 Exception: Special inspections shall not be required for: 1.

RATIONALE: Results from studies after the 1994_Northridge earthquake indicated that a lot of the damages were attributed to lack of quality control during construction. The proposed amendment improves quality control during construction and therefore needs to be incorporated into the Code. Revise CBC Section 1705.3 exception No.1 to allow special inspection not to be required for isolated spread footing where the structural design of the footing is based on a specified compressive strength, Pc, no greater than 2,500 psi. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during a previous code adoption cycle. SECTION 11. Section 18.04.032 (Vehicular gates.) is hereby added to Chapter 18.04 (Building Code) of the Campbell Municipal Code as set forth below with underlining (underlining) indicating new text. 18.04.032 Vehicular gates. CBC Section 3110.2 Vehicular gates Intended for automation. Vehicular gates intended for automation shall be designed, constructed and installed to comply with the requirements of ASTM F2200. The referenced American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) ASTM F2200 for the safe design, installation, and use of vehicular gates, establishes by reference, that all gates whether part of a fire apparatus access or egress, or for general vehicle, or pedestrian passage, having barbed or razor wire, knox boxes, or power actuation, automatic or manual, color and materials, shall be reviewed for security and safety and permitted with specifications approved by Fire, Building, and Planning Divisions as well as a compliant design to the provisions of ASTM F2200. General ASTM F2200 Requirements (specific criteria for the 5 gate styles can be located on the ASTM website): • Barbed tape and wire by its very design is intended to be a hazardous material upon contact with persons, but it may become unnecessarily hazardous to persons in the vicinity of a moving gate. If barbed tape is installed on a gate at eight feet or higher above grade, unintended injury is much less likely to occur. • All gate designs shall have smooth bottom surfaces and be free of any protrusions that can cut, scrape, puncture and, in general, iniure a person when the gate is moving. Any exclusions or exceptions to this requirement are covered under Section 4.8. • All vehicular gate designs shall be constructed and installed with designs such that the gate cannot fall over more than 45 degrees from the vertical plane if detached from the gates supporting hardware, to prevent City Council Ordinance No. 2336 Page 28 of 45 2025 California Building Code (PLN-2025-129) injury during service or in case of support failure. These designs can be accomplished by installing support posts, brackets, cables, chains or other devices that would hold or support the gate should it become detached from its supporting hardware. This can be accomplished by installing support posts, brackets, cables, chains or other devices that would hold or support the gate should it become detached from its supporting hardware. • Gates have been divided into five basic designs of construction: horizontal slide, horizontal swing, vertical lift, vertical pivot and overhead pivot. These designs are considered to be the most common types being installed in the U.S. Each specific design shall be constructed and installed to conform to requirements that are unique to each particular gate type. • A manual gate latch is not designed for an automated gate. When required, a safe design receiver guide shall be installed in lieu of a gate latch. • The bottom edge of any automated gate shall be free of any protrusions other than hardware such as fasteners, bolts, etc. Such hardware must not proiect greater than %2" and must be smooth on all surfaces, with no sharp edges, to prevent injuries such as cutting, scraping, or other similar. The gate design must also include an analysis of structural loads on large or heavy gates, wind loads on solid gates, the safety of fingers and hands in the rolling tracks, dislodging of rollers from tracks, entrapment, automatic closer with a crushing potential, locking mechanisms, and emergency access.
