THE CITY OF <br /> u <br /> pLEASANTONC <br /> • Utilize or recommend adoption of a retrofit standard that includes standard plan sets and <br /> construction details for voluntary bolting of homes to their foundations and bracing of <br /> outside walls of crawl spaces ("cripple" walls). Building Division. (HSNG-b-1); <br /> • Encourage local government building inspectors to take classes on a periodic basis on <br /> retrofitting of single-family homes. Building Division. (HSNG-b-4); <br /> • Conduct demonstration projects on common existing housing types demonstrating <br /> structural and nonstructural mitigation techniques as community models for earthquake <br /> mitigation. Building Division. (HSNG-b-6); <br /> • Require engineered plan sets for voluntary or mandatory soft-story retrofits until a <br /> standard plan set and construction details become available. Building Division. <br /> Established in 2010. (HSNG-c-1); <br /> • Adopt the 2009 International Existing Building Code, the 2010 CBC, or the latest <br /> applicable code standard for the design of voluntary or mandatory soft-story building <br /> retrofits. Building Division. (HSNG-c-2); <br /> • Adopt the 2009 International Existing Building Code, the 2010 CBC, or the latest <br /> applicable code standard for the design of voluntary or mandatory retrofit of seismically <br /> vulnerable buildings. Building Division. (HSNG-e-3); <br /> • Continue to require that all new housing be constructed in compliance with structural <br /> requirements of the most recently adopted version of the California Building Code. <br /> Building Division.; 2009 CBC (2009 UBC) adopted by Ordinance 2015, (HSNG-f-1); <br /> • Conduct appropriate employee training and support continued education to ensure <br /> enforcement of building codes and construction standards, as well as identification of <br /> typical design inadequacies of housing and recommended improvements. Building <br /> Division. (HSNG-f-2); <br /> • Increase efforts to reduce hazards in existing development in high wildfire hazard areas <br /> (identified as wildland-urban-interface fire-threatened communities or in areas exposed to <br /> high-to-extreme fire threat) through improving engineering design and vegetation <br /> management for mitigation, appropriate code enforcement, and public education on <br /> defensible space mitigation strategies.

(e.g. in 2011 Resolution 11-429). (HSNG-g-1); <br /> • Require that new homes in wildland-urban-interface fire-threatened communities or in <br /> areas exposed to high-to-extreme fire threat be constructed of fire-resistant building <br /> materials (including roofing and exterior walls) and incorporate fire-resistant design <br /> features (such as minimal use of eaves, internal corners, and open first floors) to increase <br /> structural survivability and reduce ignitability.
