03/22/2021 G. Bay Mud. Within the City, specifically along the San Francisco Bay, is underlain with Bay Mud, which does not allow for infrastructure subject to corrosion. 5. Topographical: The topographical element, as would be expected, is closely associated with the geological element. With elevation changes in the City, development is of a geological concern. With these changes development is, of course, following the path of least resistance; thereby creating a meandering pattern. This does not lend itself to a good systematic street and road layout, which would promote easy traffic flow. It has, in fact, resulted in few major cross-town thoroughfares, which tend to be heavily congested, primarily during commute hours and seasonal periods of the year. "Pass-through" vehicular traffic in the cities, such as the areas of the Alameda de Las Pulgas, Woodside Road, Edgewood Road, and EI Camino Real. This increased commute time increases traffic for eastbound and westbound vehicular movement to US 101 and Interstate 280. This creates barriers, which increases the response time of fire apparatus and other emergency vehicles. The topography of the city is also being burdened by major structures. Employment areas are throughout the city, and the people who work in these complexes have added to the traffic congestion throughout the cities, thereby increasing fire apparatus response times. As a result of above identified climatic, geological and topographical elements, additional requirements as specified in the amendments to the adopting ordinance for the 2019 California Energy and Green Building Standards Code by the City are considered reasonable and necessary modifications. 6. Conclusion: Local climactic, geological and topographical conditions necessitate Reach Codes that will require the diminution of energy consumption levels permitted by the 2019 Energy and Green Building Standards Codes. The City Council finds it is needed and necessary to modify the 2019 Energy and Green Building Standards Codes in order to mitigate the effects of the above conditions. The following table provides code sections that have been modified along with the associated local condition that necessitates the modification: Section Number Local condition Energy Code Sections amended: 100.0(e)(2)A, 100.1 (b), 110.2, 3, 4, and 5 110.3(a), 110.4(a), 110.5, 110.10 J Green Code Sections amended: 202, 4.106.4, 4.106.4.1, 4.106.4.2, i 3, 4, and 5 4.106.4.2.2, 5.106.5.3 ATTY/RESO.0013/CC RESO 2019 CA ENERGY & GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODES REV: 03-15-21 RL Page 3of3 RESO.
