CC Ordinance 2024
ORDINANCE NO. 2024
BEING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL AMENDING TITLE 1, 17 AND 18 OF THE
CAMPBELL MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT THE 1997 EDITION
OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE REGULATIONS WITH THE
2001 ST A TE OF CALIFORNIA AMENDMENTS AND CITY
AMENDMENTS, (2000 UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE, 2000
UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE, 1999 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE, 2000 UNIFORM FIRE CODE) REGULATIONS WITH THE
2001 STATE OF CALIFORNIA AMENDMENTS, 1997 UNIFORM
CODE FOR THE ABATEMENT OF DANGEROUS BUILDINGS,
UNIFORM CODE FOR BUILDING CONSERVATION, AND THE
1997 UNIFORM HOUSING CODE.
After notification and public hearing as specified by law on the City-initiated application to adopt the
2001 State of California Building Code and after presentation by City Staff, proponents and opponents,
the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the City Council did find as follows:
1. The City of Campbell is situated adjacent to active earthquake faults, each capable of producing
significant seismic events. These are the San Andreas Fault and secondary faults known as the
Berrocal and Shannon fault systems.
2. Since the City is divided by major freeways and expressways, the occurrence of a major earthquake
would significantly impact the ability of fire crews to respond to emergencies should one or more
overpasses and/or underpasses collapse or if the vertical movement of some roadways surface
travel unduly difficult or impossible.
3. Additionally, fire suppression capabilities will be severely limited should the water system be
extensively damaged during the seismic event.
4. Other potential outcomes from seismic events in the City of Campbell include broken natural gas
mains causing structure and other fires; leakage of hazardous materials in one or more of the many
industrial facilities in the City; the need for rescue from collapsed structures and the rendering of
first aid and other medical attention to larger numbers of people.
5. Mitigation measures are necessary for the protection of human life and the preservation of property
in the event of significant seismic occurrences since emergency response resources may be limited
or not be readily available.
6. The following amendments include additional requirements for fire suppression systems, fire
alarm systems, hazardous materials and toxic gas storage/use controls, limitations on the amount
and method of storage for flammable liquids and other safeguards that are reasonably necessary to
protect live and property due to the potential for regional catastrophic seismic events.

Adopting 2001 California Building Code
Page 2
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
1. The proposed amendments will clearly provide for an increase to the safeguarding to a reasonable
degree of life and property from the hazards of fire, explosion and/or dangerous conditions.
2. The amendments will aid in the healthy and safe development of the immediate area.
3. The proposed amendments are consistent with the General Plan; and
4. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that these amendments as currently
presented will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
5. The modifications set forth in this ordinance are reasonably necessary because of local climatic,
geological and topographical conditions.
