Re: Ordinance # 22-1455
Dear Ms. Kates:
The purpose of this letter is to provide the determination of the California Building Standards Commission
(CBSC) following review of the ordinance referenced above with express findings received from City of
Hermosa Beach on 2/6/23.
Our review finds the submittal to contain one ordinance modifying provisions of the 2022 California Building
Standards Code, Title 24, California Code of Regulations (Title 24), including express findings and expressly
marked modifications in compliance with Health and Safety Code (HSC) Sections 17958.7 and 18941.5. The
code modification is accepted for filing. This letter attests only to the satisfaction of the cited law for filing of
expressly marked local code amendments supported by express findings with CBSC. CBSC is not
authorized by law to evaluate the merit of the findings.
Local modifications to the code are specific to each edition of the code. Local modifications must be
readopted and filed with CBSC for each subsequent triennial edition of the code to remain in effect.
Additional information: Fire Protection District ordinances making modifications to Title 24, HSC Section
13869.7 requires such ratified ordinances and express findings to be filed with the Department of Housing
and Community Development, Division of Codes and Standards, State Housing Law Program, rather than
CBSC. Ordinances making modifications to the energy efficiency and conservation provisions in the
California Energy Code, Part 6 of Title 24, may require approval from the California Energy Commission
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 25402.1(h)(2).
If you have questions or need further information, you may contact me at (916) 263-0916.
Sincerely,
Brandon Estes
