(Ord. 688, passed 5-2-23)

(A) Purpose and intent. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council of the city, through the adoption of this section, to provide additional abatement and enforcement tools to protect public and private property from acts of vandalism and defacement; especially, but not limited to, graffiti on privately and publicly owned property, which is inimical and destructive of the rights and values of private property owners as well as the total community. The majority of those individuals who paint graffiti seek notoriety and recognition as they attach status to having their work seen. Prolonged visibility due to the sheer volume, scale and complexity of the graffiti, and placement of the graffiti in hard-to-reach places, enhance the perpetrator's satisfaction. Therefore, the swift removal or painting over of graffiti in combination with criminal prosecution of the persons who create it is the most effective way of combating this very serious problem. It is further the intent of the City Council, through the adoption of this section, to provide notice to all of those who callously disregard the property rights of others, that the law enforcement agencies of the city, both the Police Department and the prosecutor's office, will strictly enforce the law and severely prosecute those persons engaging in the defacement of public and private properties.

(B) Definition. For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.

EARTHQUAKE HAZARD REDUCTION IN EXISTING BUILDINGS

(A) The purpose of this subchapter is to promote public safety and welfare by reducing the risk of death or injury that may result from the effects of earthquakes on unreinforced masonry bearing wall buildings constructed before 1934. Such buildings have been widely recognized for their sustaining of life hazardous damage as a result of

partial or complete collapse during past moderate to strong earthquakes.

(B) The provisions of this subchapter are minimum standards for structural seismic resistance, established primarily to reduce the risk of life loss or injury, and will not necessarily prevent loss of life or injury or prevent earthquake damage to an existing building which complies with these standards. This subchapter shall not require existing electrical, plumbing, mechanical or fire safety systems to be altered unless they constitute a hazard to life or property.

(C) This subchapter provides systematic procedures and standards for identification and classification of unreinforced masonry bearing wall buildings based on their present use. Priorities, time periods and standards are also established under which these buildings are required to be structurally analyzed and anchored. Where the analysis determines deficiencies, this subchapter requires the building to be strengthened or demolished.

(D) Qualified historical buildings shall comply with the requirements of the State Historical Building Code (SHBC) established under Cal. Administrative Code, Part 8, Title 24.

('65 Code, § 8-15.01) (Ord. 321-C.S., passed - - )

(A) The provisions of this subchapter shall apply to all buildings constructed or under construction prior to October 6, 1933, or for which a building permit was issued prior to October 6, 1933, which on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this subchapter have unreinforced masonry bearing walls as defined herein.

(B) Exception. This subchapter shall not apply to detached one- or two-family dwellings and detached apartment houses containing fewer than five dwelling units and used solely for residential purposes.

(2) If the building is either demolished, found not to be within the scope of this subchapter, or is structurally capable of resisting minimum seismic forces required by this subchapter as a result of structural alterations or an analysis, the Department shall file with the office of the County Recorder a certificate terminating the status of the subject building as being classified within the scope of this subchapter.

either demolished, found not to be within the scope of this subchapter, or is structurally capable of resisting minimum seismic forces required by this subchapter as a result of structural alterations or an analysis, the Department shall file with the office of the County Recorder a certificate terminating the status of the subject building as being classified within the scope of this subchapter.

(E) Enforcement. If the owner or other person in charge or control of the subject building fails to comply with any order issued by the Department pursuant to this subchapter within any of the time limits set forth in § 150.084 of this subchapter, the Department shall order that the entire building be vacated and that the building remain vacated until such order has been complied with.
