EXHIBIT C <br />FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION THAT CHANGES OR <br />MODIFICATIONS TO THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE, AND THE <br />CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, 2007 EDITION, PERTAINING <br />TO WEATHER PROTECTION FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE <br />OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, ARE REASONABLY <br />NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LOCAL CONDITIONS <br />1. In connection with the adoption by reference of the International Building Code, 2006 <br />Edition, as amended by the State of California in that document entitled "The California Building <br />Standards Code, it is hereby expressly found and determined that the following changes to the <br />California Building Standards Code are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, <br />geological or topographical conditions: <br />When a hazardous material has multiple hazards, all hazards shall be addressed <br />and controlled in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. When overhead <br />noncombustible construction is provided for sheltering exterior hazardous <br />material storage areas, such storage shall not be considered indoor storage when <br />all of the following conditions are met: <br />(a) Supports shall be of noncombustible construction. <br />(b) Supports and walls shall not obstruct more than twenty five percent <br />(25%) of the perimeter of the storage area. <br />(c) The distance to buildings, property lines, streets, alleys, public <br />ways or exits to a public way shall not be less than the distance <br />required for an exterior hazardous materials storage area without <br />weather protection. <br />2. The aforesaid local amendment is reasonably necessary in order to lessen the threat to <br />life, safety and property represented by certain local climatic, geographical and topographical <br />conditions existing in the City of San Leandro. <br />3. The aforesaid local amendment is enacted pursuant to the authority of Section 17958.5 <br />of the California Health and Safety Code, for the purpose of addressing the aforesaid conditions <br />which are more specifically described as follows: <br />(a) The City of San Leandro lies in the near vicinity of the Hayward Fault and <br />in fact, a substantial portion of the residential area of the City lies within <br />the Alquist-Priolo Act Special Studies Zone, requiring special geologic <br />studies prior to development. This increases the likelihood of seismic <br />disturbances of substantial magnitude occurring and causing consequent <br />
