Express finding—pursuant to Section 17958.2(a) of the California Health and Safety Code, the Marin County Board of Supervisors hereby finds the following modifications to the 2022 California Building Standards Code, as shown in Section 19.07.040 regulating allowable mix design and materials for plain and reinforced concrete, are reasonably necessary. This is because Marin County experiences climatic seasonal reduction in vegetative moisture content, combined with our heavily populated steep terrain, which presents increased wildfire risk to our residents from carbon-induced global warming; and is also bordered by sea water on three sides and subject to direct adverse local impact from sea-level rise as the result of construction-related contributions to climate change, including significant carbon emissions from cement production.
