Local jurisdictions must enforce the California Building Standards Code but they may also enact more restrictive building standards that are reasonably necessary because of local climate geologic or topographical conditions. Local amendments previously adopted are not automatically applicable to a triennial CBSC and must be re-enacted with the required findings of local conditions expressly made applicable to the new triennial CBSC.

The ordinance makes technical corrections requested by the California Building Standards Commission by updating the local findings incorporated by reference in each of the Building Code Ordinances and by amending the 2022 San Francisco Building Code Ordinances with corrected Exhibits A.

Addresses the technical omissions in Exhibit A to the 2022 Building Code Ordinances and clarifies local conditions and modifications necessary for the respective 2022 California Building Standard Codes based on these conditions.

The technical corrections ensure the Building Code Ordinances align with local conditions, as well as with State requirements. These corrections are necessary to meet the California Building Standards Commission's requests and to maintain compliance with local climate, geologic, and topographical conditions.

The California Building Standards Commission reviewed the amendments, and the Building Inspection Commission considered this ordinance in a public hearing. A recommendation from the Building Inspection Commission was filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.

The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors was responsible for forwarding the corrected ordinances to the California Building Standards Commission.
