Building Conservation shall be kept for public inspection in the <br /> office of the San Leandro City Clerk. A reasonable supply of the <br /> Uniform Code for Building Conservation shall be available in the <br /> office of the San Leandro City Clerk for public purchase. <br /> Section 7 -5 -805: PURPOSE. The purpose of this Article is to <br /> promote public safety and welfare by establishing minimum <br /> standards for structural seismic resistance in unreinforced <br /> masonry wall buildings in order to reduce the risk of death or <br /> injury that may result from the effects of earthquakes on such <br /> buildings. <br /> Compliance with these standards will not necessarily prevent loss <br /> of life or injury or prevent earthquake damage to rehabilitated <br /> buildings. <br /> This Article provides systematic procedures and standards for <br /> identification and classification for unreinforced masonry wall <br /> buildings based on their present use; and, where appropriate, the <br /> strengthening or demolition of the building. <br /> Section 7 -5 -810: SCOPE. <br /> (a) General. The provisions of this Article shall apply to <br /> all buildings constructed with unreinforced masonry <br /> walls as defined herein, with the exception of: <br /> 1. Detached one or two family dwellings and detached <br /> apartment houses containing less than 5 dwelling <br /> units and used solely for residential purposes. <br /> 2. Federal or State government owned buildings. <br /> 3. Warehouses or similar structures used solely for <br /> storage. <br /> 4. Any building designated as an historical building <br /> by action of the City Council, pursuant to Title <br /> IV, Chapter 26 of this Code, or by official action <br /> of the federal or state government; provided, <br /> however, such building shall be subject to the <br /> requirements of the State Historical Building Code <br /> (S.H.B.C.) established under Part 8, Title 24 of <br /> the California Code or Regulations; and provided <br /> further, that any such building so designated as <br /> an historical building subsequent to January 1, <br /> 1991; shall be subject to inspection by the <br /> Building Official for the purpose of determining <br /> whether the building is seismically safe to <br /> occupants and the public. <br /> 2 <br />
