SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: The Council has previously adopted an ordinance in order to comply with SB 547. This legislation required that the City identify unreinforced masonry buildings and develop a mitigation program that would meet the State requirements. The legislation has allowed cities to develop mitigation programs that range from voluntary (Palo Alto) to very strict (Los Angeles). Your Council chose to address this issue on a phased basis. The first phase was to identify the owners of those buildings to identify standard adopted by the City Council. buildings and require the property structural deficiencies based upon a The second phase is to take this information submitted by the property owners and develop a second ordinance which would establish standards for the mandatory repair of the identified unreinforced masonry buildings. All property owners have complied with the first phase of this process. Analyses have been submitted to staff for review. Staff again convened with the Citizens Advisory Committee to discuss the results of the engineering analysis. It was a clear consensus of the Committee that first and foremost was life safety for occupants of any structure and pedestrians within the public right of way. Given this standard, a subcommittee, comprised of three Structural Engineers and one Civil Engineer, established engineering design standards for the second ordinance. council - AMID' Disoosiiion 4H b4-'t;j '-to "I9 -�—' As written, the ordinance would require that building owners make the following upgrades to their buildings: 1. Parapet bracing shall be provided except where adjacent structures will prevent parapets from falling away from buildings. 2. Floors and roofs shall be anchored to their supporting walls. 3. Open fronts shall be seismically braced. 4. Mortar joints shall be pointed 5. Any special site-specific conditions felt by the Building Official or the designer to be an immediate hazard to public health and safety shall be corrected. The timing for improvements is also established in the ordinance (see attached). Based on the current list, the buildings are divided into two groups approximately equal in number. Each group will be required to meet specific goals within definite time frames. The first group is required to bring their buildings into compliance within 2 1/2 years of the effective date of the ordinance. The last group would have 4 years for compliance. The buildings are divided into groups for two reasons: 1) The City would initially seek compliance of buildings which would provide the most benefit to life safety. These buildings are those which have the most occupants. Typically, they are the larger buildings. The last group to be noticed would be the buildings with the fewest occupants. 2) As the majority of the buildings are located in the downtown area, the effects of having all buildings under construction at the same time would be dramatic. By spacing out the noticing, the impact on the downtown business community would be diminished. On February 10, 1992, City staff held an informational meeting with the property owners to discuss the implications of the proposed ordinance and to answer any questions they might have. Staff also presented to them a brief outline of a proposed financing mechanism that could assist them in completing their repairs. Another issue discussed was that of existing rights as they relate to parking, expansion, occupancy and conformance. This latter issue was discussed with the Planning Director and the City Attorney. It was felt that a 60 day study period would be necessary to analyze the various options that the Council might consider in dealing with these issues. With regard to the financing, basically it would be similar to industrial development bond financing in which the City would "sponsor" the bond issue, but the property and property owners would be the collateral for the financing. This finance mechanism would also assist the property owners to refinance their current indebtedness and perform additional non-structural renovation of their property. 2 Staff will be bringing these two issues back to the Council at subsequent meetings for a policy direction. It is recommended that the Council continue the public hearing for 60 days in order to allow staff sufficient time to analyze zoning implications. ENCLOSURES: (2) 1. Inventory. 2.

Such buildings have been widely recognized for sustaining life -hazardous damage, including partial or complete collapse during moderate to strong earthquakes. The provisions of this chapter are intended as minimum standards for structural seismic resistance established primarily to reduce the risk of life loss or injury. Compliance with these standards will not necessarily prevent loss of life or injury to prevent earthquake damage to rehabilitated buildings. This chapter does not require alteration of existing electrical, plumbing, mechanical or fire safety systems unless they constitute a hazard to life or property. - 1 - This chapter provides systematic procedures and standards for identification and classification of unreinforced masonry 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 repaired. Qualified Historical Buildings shall comply with the State Historical Building Code (SHBC) established under Part 8, Title 24 of the California Administrative Code. 12.40.020 SCOPE The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all buildings which on the effective date of this ordinance have at least one unreinforced masonry bearing wall as defined herein.

Crosswalls shall be defined as walls having full story height with a minimum length of 1-1/2 times the story height. 2. Any building used for its intended purpose, as determined by the Building Official, for less than 20 hours per week. -2- MEDIUM RISK BUILDING: Any building, not classified as a high risk building or an essential building, having an occupant load of 50 occupants or more as determined by DIVISION 3302(a). LOW RISK BUILDING: Any building, not classified as an essential building, having an occupant load of less than 50 occupants as determined by DIVISION 3302(a). Open Front is an exterior building wall plane on one side only without vertical elements of the lateral force resisting system in one or more stories. Pointing is the partial reconstruction of the bed joints of an unreinforced masonry wall as defined in U.B.C. Standard No. 24.42. Unreinforced Masonry Bearing Wall. A URM wall which provides the vertical support for a floor or roof for which the total superimposed load exceeds 100 pounds per linear foot of wall. (1) For the purposes of this chapter all references to the Uniform Building Code shall refer to the 1985 edition. 12.10.040 RATING CLASSIFICATIONS The rating classifications shown in Table No. 12.40-A below are hereby established and each building within the scope of this chapter shall be placed in one such rating classification by the Building Official. The total occupant load of the entire building as determined by DIVISION 3302(a) shall be used to determine the rating classification. EXCEPTION: For the purpose of this chapter, any buildings, portions of which are constructed to act independently when resisting seismic forces, may be placed in separate rating classifications.

DATE: February 10, 1992 PLACE: City Council Chambers, 1400 Fifth Avenue San Rafael Dear Property Owner or Interested Party: On February 10, 1992 the Department of Public Works will be holding a meeting for property owners and other interested parties to discuss its proposed ordinance for unreinforced masonry buildings. This ordinance is currently in draft form and is subject to revision. As drafted it will require repair work to those buildings within the scope of the ordinance. Work to be done includes parapet bracing, anchorage of roofs and floors to supporting walls, bracing of "open fronts", regrouting of mortar joints, and correction of immediate hazards. The time period for accomplishing the work varies from a minimum of two years to a maximum of four and one half years depending on the rating category of the structure. A rating system is included in the draft ordinance. A copy of the draft ordinance has been furnished to you recently by the City Clerk's office. Your comments on this draft are sought by the Department of Public Works at or prior to its February 10th meeting. After that meeting the ordinance is currently scheduled for a hearing before the City Council on February 18th. That meeting is the first formal step in the adoption of the ordinance. Should you have any questions regarding the ordinance, please give Fred Vincenti or myself a call at 485-3355. Sin rely yours, DAVID M.
