CHAPTER 12.360 – SINGLE FAMILY MODEL REACH CODE - FLEXPATH
12.360.010 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to specify additional energy efficiency
and renewable energy measures for additions, alterations and remodels of Covered Single
Family Projects.
12.360.020 Definitions. For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall
apply:
1. “Single Family Building” shall mean any of the following:
a. Residential building of Occupancy Group R-3 or under the California
Residential Code with two or fewer dwellings.
b. A townhouse.
c. A building of Occupancy Group R-3.1, or
d. A building of Occupancy Group U when located on a residential site.
e. JADUs or ADUs that are not part of multifamily.
2. “Covered Single Family Project” shall mean the addition, alteration, or remodel of a
Single Family Building originally permitted for construction before 2011 that affects a
floor area which exceeds 500 square feet of existing floor area and/or new floor area.
When any changes are made in the building, such as walls, columns, beams or
girders, floor or ceiling joists and coverings (subfloor and drywall), roof rafters, roof
diaphragms, foundations, piles or retaining walls or similar components, the floor area
of all rooms affected by such changes shall be included in computing floor areas for
purposes of applying this definition.
This definition does not apply to project scopes that are solely limited to any of the
following: the replacement and upgrading of residential roof coverings, exterior wall
finishes and/or floor finishes; alterations that add no more than 75 square feet of
fenestration; alterations that add no more than 16 square feet of skylight area with a
maximum U-factor of 0.55 and a maximum SHGC of 0.30; alterations that are limited
to providing access for persons with disabilities; or voluntary state seismic retrofit
program. A Covered Single Family Project shall not include a project that is considered
to be a newly constructed building under the California Energy Code, Title 24, Part 6.
12.360.020 Scope. In addition to all requirements of the California Energy Code applicable
to Single Family Building additions and alterations, the provision of this chapter shall apply to
all Covered Single Family Projects.
12.360.020 Requirements. A Covered Single Family Project shall install a set of measures
based on the building vintage from the Measure Menu in Table 12.360B, to achieve a total

DIVISION 2. FINDINGS.
The San Rafael City Council finds that the scientific evidence has established that natural gas
combustion as well as leakage occurring during natural gas procurement, transportation, storage,
and distribution produce significant greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming,
climate change and sea level rise.
California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5, 17958.7, and 18941.5 require that findings
be made in order to change or modify building standards found in the California Building
Standards Code based on local climatic, geologic, or topographic conditions. Therefore, the San
Rafael City Council hereby finds that these changes or modifications to the California Green
Building Standards Code, the California Plumbing Code and the California Mechanical Code as
adopted in Chapter 12.200 of the San Rafael Municipal Code are reasonably necessary because
of the following local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions:
I. Climatic conditions:
a) Most of the annual rainfall in San Rafael occurs during the winter, it receives no
measurable precipitation between May and October. During this time,
temperatures average between 70 and 90 degrees. These conditions eliminate
most of the moisture in the natural vegetation and heavily wooded hillsides. The
area also suffers periodic droughts that can extend the dry periods to other months
of the year. These conditions can be further exacerbated by occasional off-shore
hot, dry, Santa-Ana winds; all of which contribute to an elevated fire hazard.
Further, global warming due to climate change is making these conditions worse,
extending the dry period by a full month in the spring and summer and
exacerbating drought conditions.
b) The seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create severe fire
hazards to the public health and welfare in the City. The hot, dry weather can result
in wildland fires on the brush covered slopes adjacent to the majority of
neighborhoods west of highway 101.
c) Local amendments to the municipal code pursuant to this ordinance are
reasonably necessary to achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions that
reduces the risks of climate shocks such as wildfires and drought, which will then
reduce risks of physical damage to critical infrastructure, property loss, and loss of
life. In addition, reducing electricity demand and encouraging on-site renewable
energy and emergency backup reduces fire potential and reduces health and
safety impacts to residents during public safety power shut offs.
d) Most of the annual rainfall in San Rafael occurs during the winter, and some
portions of San Rafael are subject to tidal influences, thus there are times that
flooding conditions occur in low-lying areas. Much of San Rafael from downtown
to the Canal, along San Pedro Road and south to the Richmond San Rafael Bridge
are lower than high tide and susceptible to flooding and sea level rise caused by
climate change. San Rafael is expected to experience one foot of additional sea
level rise in the coming decades. Local amendments to the municipal code
9
pursuant to this ordinance are reasonably necessary to achieve greenhouse gas
emission reductions that reduces the risks of flooding due to sea level rise, which
will then reduce risks of physical damage to critical infrastructure, property loss,
and loss of life.
II. Geologic conditions:
a) San Rafael lies near several earthquake faults, including the very active San
Andreas Fault, there are significant potential hazards such as road closures, fires,
collapsed buildings, and isolation of residents requiring assistance.
b) Many areas of the city, including some highly developed industrial and commercial
areas, are located on bay alluvial soils which are subject to liquefaction in the event
of an earthquake.
c) The City includes hillsides with narrow and winding access, which makes timely
response by fire suppression and emergency response vehicles difficult.
d) Local amendments to the municipal code are reasonably necessary to reduce
natural gas use thereby reducing the potential for leaks as well as the potential for
fires caused by leaks during seismic events.
III. Topographic conditions:
a) Much of San Rafael is located in hilly areas, and many of the residential areas are
heavily landscaped, and many exist adjacent to hilly open space areas which are
characterized by dry vegetation and have limited access. In addition, the
steepness of grades located in the hills and canyons results in narrow and winding
roads, and limited water supply, making timely access, rescue and firefighting
activities by emergency providers difficult.
b) The major arterial route between San Francisco and Marin and Sonoma County
areas, Highway 101, bisects the City of San Rafael; should that highway become
impassable, alternative routes via surface streets in San Rafael may cause heavy
traffic congestion, limiting emergency access.
More specifically, the above modified building standards are listed below with the corresponding
climatic, geological, or topographical condition which necessitates the modification.

This Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to 14
CCR Section 15061(b)(3), since it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of this Ordinance
would not have potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (14 Cal. Code Regs.
Section 15061(b)(3), ‘general rule’ provision). The Ordinance is also exempt from the
requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15307 and 15308 as an action by
a regulatory agency taken to protect the environment and natural resources.
DIVISION 4. SEVERABILITY.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to
be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance.
The City Council of the City of San Rafael hereby declares that it would have adopted the
Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the
fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases shall be declared
invalid.
DIVISION 5. EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE.
This Ordinance shall be published once, in full or in summary form, before its final passage, in a
newspaper of general circulation, published and circulated in the City of San Rafael and shall be in
full force and effective thirty (30) days after its adoption, upon approval of the California Energy
Commission or the date of the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) accepts the
ordinance for filing, whichever is later. If published in summary form, the summary shall also be
