The provisions of this Code shall apply to the construction, alteration, moving, demolition, repair and use of any building or structure within this jurisdiction, except work located primarily in a public way, public utility towers and poles, and mechanical equipment not specifically regulated in this Code. Moreover, the provisions of this Code shah apply without limitation to all dams and other hydraulic flood control structures with the exception of such hydraulic flood control structures as are constructed and installed by the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Where, in any specific case, different sections of this Code specify different materials, methods of construction or other requirements, the most restrictive shall govern. Where there is a conflict between a general requirement and a specific requirement, the specific requirement shall be applicable. Wherever in this Code reference is made to the appendix, the provisions in the appendix shall not apply unless specifically adopted. S16-15.050 Chapters 2 and 3 deleted; administration governed by Administrative Code Chapters 2 and 3 of the Building Code are hereby deleted. All administration of the Building Code shall be governed by the Administrative Code as adopted in Article 16-10 of this Chapter. S16-15.060 SecUon 503(d) amended enneerning occupancy separations Paragraph 3 of Section 503(d) of the Building Code is amended to read as follows: 3. In the one-hour occupancy separation between a Group R, Division 3 and M Occupancy, the separation may be limited to the installation of materials approved for one-hour fire- resistire construction and a self-closing, tight-fitting solid wood door 1-3/8 inches in thickness will be permitted in lieu of a one-hour fire assembly. Fire dampers need not be installed in air ducts passing through the wall, floor or ceiling separating a Group R, Division 3 Occupancy from a Group M Occupancy, provided such duets within the Group M Occupancy are constructed of steel having a thickness not less than 0.019 inch (No. 26 galvanized steel gauge) and have no openings into the Group M Occupancy. In remodel work, the one hour separation shah be limited to the attic Rev. 12/8/89 -4- separation areas only and the installation of a tight-fitting solid wood door 1-3/8 inches in thickness with a self-closing device. This amendment to the Uniform'Building Code, 1988 Edition, is required because of the risk of fire created by the climatic and geologic conditions in the City. S16-15.070 Section 2516(f) amended concerning draft stop Subparagraph 4B of Section 2516(f) of the Building Code is amended to read as follows: B. Attics. (i) Single-family dwellings. Draft stops shall be installed in accordance with Item (iii) below. (ii) Two or more dwelling units and hotels. Draft stops shall be installed in the attics, mansards, overhangs, false fronts set out from walls and similar concealed spaces of buildings containing more than one dwelling unit and in hotels. Such draft stops shall be above and in line with the walls separating tenant spaces from each other and from other uses. EXCEPTIONS: 1. Draft stops may be omitted along one of the corridor walls, provided draft stops at tenant separation walls extend to the remaining corridor draft stop. 2. Where approved sprinklers are installed, draftstopping may be as specified in the exception to Item (iii) below. (iii) Other nses. Draft stops shall be installed in attics, mansards, overhangs, false fronts set out from walls and similar concealed spaces of buildings having uses other than dwellings or hotels so that the area between draft stops does not exceed 2,000 square feet and the greatest horizontal dimension does not exceed 40 feet. EXCEPTION: Where approved automatic sprinklers are instailed the area between draft stops may be 9,000 square feet and the greatest horizontal dimension may be 100 feet. This amendment to the Uniform Building Code, 1988 Edition, is required because construction in the City is largely custom designed and exhibits unusual configurations and high square footage. These factors may contribute toward the spread of fire, the risk of which is high because of the climatic and geologic conditions within the City. Rev. 12/8/89 -5- S16-15.080 Seelion 2516(n) added eeneerning underfloor clearance Section 25 16(n) is hereby added to the Building Code, to read as follows: (n) Underfloor clearance. Unless otherwise approved by the building official, the minimum under floor clearances between the bottom of the floor joists, and/or girders, shah not be less than 18 inches to exposed ground in crawl spaces or excavated or unexcavated areas located within the periphery of the building foundation. This amendment to the Uniform Building Code, 1988 Edition, is required because the combination of the high summer time air temperatures which occur in the City, and the large square footage of the buildings and structures constructed in the City, necessitates the use of larger air conditioning duering to be installed in the underGoor clearance area. $16-15.090 8eelion 2905(g) added concerning reinforcement Section 2905(g) is hereby added to the Building Code, to read as follows: (g) Reinforcement. A minimum of two one-half inch bars of metal reinforcement placed continuous in foundations shah be required for Group R and M occupancies without engineering design. This amendment to the Uniform Building Code, 1988 Edition, is required because of the expansive soils and seismic instability conditions existing in the City. $16-15.100 Section 3201 amended concerning roof covering Section 3201 of the Buiiding Code is amended to read as follows: See. 3201. Roofs shall be as specified in this code and as otherwise required by this chapter. Roof coverings shah be securely fastened to the supporting roof construction and shah provide weather protection for the building at the roof. Skylights shah be constructed as required in Chapter 34. Penthouses shah be constructed as required in Chapter 36° For use of plastics in roofs, see Chapter 52. For solar energy collectors located above or upon a roof, see Section 1714. The foregoing provisions notwithstanding, roof coverings on all buildings and structures hereafter erected or constructed Rev. 12/8/89 -6- in a designated hazardous fire area in the City, shall be fire- retardant, or shall comply with the standards established for Class A or B prepared or built-up roofing. All replacement roofs for existing buildings and structures in a hazardous fire area shall comply with this requirement, except that a replacement of less than 10 percent of the total roof area shall be exempt. This amendment to the Uniform Building Code, 1988 Edition, is required because of the temperatures, winds and other climatic conditions which promote the spread of fire and the danger of fire in the event of earthquake. In addition, special precautions are needed for buildings located within the hazardous fire areas because response time of emergency equipment to calls for aid in such areas is impaired due to: (1) the non-availability of access to some portions of the hazardous fire areas, (2) the existence of steep, narrow streets and roadways located in the hazardous fire areas, (3) the lack of connecting streets or roadways in the hazardous fire areas. Further, the presence of heavy vegetation in the hazardous fire areas increases the potential for the rapid spread of any fire which may start in those areas particularly during seasonal dry spells. S16-15.110 Seerion 3802(i) added to require automarie sprinklers for eertain garages Section ~802(i) is hereby added to the Building Code, to read as follows: (h) Garage sprinklers. In each of the following cases, a garage for the parking of motor vehicles shall be equipped with an automatic sprinkler system: 1. Any newly constructed attached or detached garage. 2. Any existing garage that constitutes a portion of an existing dwelling which is altered, added to, or expanded so as to increase the floor space under roof by fifty percent or more of the amount of floor space under roof immediately prior to such alteration, repair, addition, or expansion. For the purposes of this paragraph, any alteration, repair, addition or expansion shall be considered as equalling or exceeding the above fifty percent limit where the work of construction or improvement is done at different time intervals requiring two or more building permits within a period of five years after completion of the first improvement, where although each is for a project encompassing an addition of less than fifty percent of increased floor space, but which when combined with other expansions during said five year period of time, increased the amount of floor space under roof by fifty percent or more of that amount which existed immediately prior to the commencement of the first of the several alterations, repairs, additions or expansions. 3. Any existing garage which is altered, added to, or Rev. 12/8/89 -7- expanded so as to increase the size of such garage by either 260 or more square feet or thirty-three or more percent of the original size, whichever is less. The area of a garage shall include all contiguous areas within the structure utilized for workshop or storage purposes which are not constructed as habitable space in accordance with the requirements of this Code, whether or not such contiguous areas are designed or utilized for the storage of motor vehicles. Any automatic sprinkler system installed pursuant to this Section shall comply with the standards set forth in National Fire Protection Association Document 13D. All garage sprinkler systems installed pursuant to this Section shall be equipped with water flow switches that are connected to audible warning devices of sufficient number and adequately located within the dweliing so as to cause, when activated, a level of audibility of not less than fifteen decibels above ambient noise levels measured four feet above the floor with bedroom doors closed. If the dwelling serviced by the garage in which a sprinkler system is being installed is required to be equipped with an early warning fire alarm system pursuant to Chapter 16, Article 16-60 of the Saratoga City Code, the water flow switches referred to herein shall also be connected to the digital alarm communicator transmitter or the fire alarm control panel described in Section 16-60.020 of said Code. However, if the dwelling serviced by the garage is not equipped with such early warning fire alarm system, the water flow switches shall be connected to an outside audible alarm that will cause, when activated, a level of audibility at the property line nearest to the alarm of not less than fifteen decibels above the ambient noise level at such property line. The provisions contained herein shall apply to both attached and detached garages. This amendment to the Uniform Building Code, 1988 Edition, is required because of the higher risk and greater intensity of fire in garages and storage areas.
