For the purpose of this code, certain locations within the incorporated areas of the City of Moorpark shall be classified as High Fire Hazard by the Ventura County Fire Protection District. The High Fire Hazard Area is defined as any area within 500 feet of uncul- tivated brush, grass, or forest - covered land wherein an authorized representative of said District determines that a potential fire hazard exists due to the presence of such flam- mable growth. Sec. 1602. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS IN HIGH FIRE HAZARD AREAS. The purpose of this Section is to provide a minimum stan- dard for the fire protection of buildings and structures here- after erected in proximity to areas of the City where concentra- tions of highly flammable brush, grass, or other combustible growth combined with periods of hot, dry winds create a high fire hazard, and where lives and property may thereby be endangered. Buildings or structures hereafter erected, constructed or moved within or into designated high fire hazard areas shall be one of the Types of Construction as defined in this Code and shall meet the requirements of this Section. Although their in- stallation is encouraged, neither manual nor automatic fire ex- tinguishing systems or similar water spraying devices may be sub- stituted for the fire protection set forth herein. (a) ROOFS. Roof coverings shall be class A,B, or C as specified in Section 3204 or the Uniform Building Code, except that no wooden shakes or shingles, treated or untreated, shall be permitted. (b) EXTERIOR WALLS. Fire - resistive protection of exterior walls and openings, as determined by location and property, shall be as required by Section 504 in the UBC. Exception: No exterior wall covering of a building shall provide less fire resistance than that afforded by: 7/8 -inch exterior 2 cement plaster; 1 -inch nominal thickness solid wood siding; 1/2- inch textured plywood siding having a groove depth of 1/8 -inch or less; 7/16 -inch hardwood siding; 5/8 inch particle board, ex- terior type 2 -M; or 5/8- exterior plywood, Texture III, having a groove depth of 1/4 -inch or less. Fire - retardant treated or un- treated wood shingle or shake siding shall not be permitted. (c) UNDERFLOOR AREAS. Where underfloor areas are not enclosed by fire - resistive construction conforming to the re- quirements of subsection (b) above, the underside of the floor system shall be fire - protected as set forth in subsection (d). (d) PROJECTIONS AND OTHER BUILDING ELEMENTS EXPOSED TO FIRE. Architectural projections such as roof overhangs and off- sets, balconies and decks, and other elements of buildings which have combustible structural elements in the horizontal plane, shall be protected with materials approved for 1 -hour fire - resistive construction on the lower, fire - exposed side and shall have 1 -hour fire - resistive supporting columns unless the details of construction conform to those for heavy timber as described in Section 2106 in the UBC. Exceptions: 1. Combustible structural members in horizontal projections may be unprotected timbers of size 4x6 or larger when used as rafters or as stair, balcony, or deck supports or for similar purposes. 2. Heavy timber roof decking at eaves and rakes may be un- protected provided a fascia of not less than 2 -inch nominal thickness and not less in depth than the cut end of the rafter is installed at the roof's edge. 3. Patios, carports, arbors and open latticework sunshades may be constructed of any materials allowed by this Code. 4. Balconies and decks 30 inches or more above grade may have flooring of not less than 2 -inch nominal thickness lumber or material of equivalent fire resistance. Such flooring may be spaced not more than 1/4 inch apart and need not be fire protected on the underside. Balconies and decks less than 30 inches above grade shall be solidly floored without gaps and shall be fire - protected on the underside as required by this Section. In lieu of fire protec- tion, such balconies and decks may be enclosed from floor surface to grade in the manner prescribed for exterior walls in subsec- tion (b) of this Section. 5.

Sec. 1603. WAIVER OF REQUIREMENTS. The Building Official may waive the requirements of Sec. UBC 1602 (a) through (e) above, in whole or in part, for specific construction projects within the High Fire Hazard Area when such waiver is approved by an authorized representative of the Ventura County Fire Protec- tion District, based upon site conditions which justify a reduc- tion in fire resistance. 8.01.040 FOUNDATION DESIGN. Section 2905(b) and 2905(f) are hereby amended to read: Sec. 2905(b) INVESTIGATION. The classification of soil shall be based on observation and necessary tests of the materials disclosed by borings or excavations made in appropriate locations. Additional studies may be required to evaluate soil strength, the effect of moisture variation on soil bearing capacity, compressibility and expansiveness. Whenever, in the opinion of the Building Official, the ade- quacy and stability of a building site cannot be determined by the test borings or excavations required by this Section, he may require a special geologic, hydrologic, seismic, or other inves- tigation and report. Geologic investigations such as those for hillside stability or seismic hazards shall be conducted by a California- certified Engineering Geologist. Sec. 2905(f) Drainage, provisions shall be made for the con- trol and drainage of surface water around buildings.

CHAPTER 58 is hereby added to the Uniform Building Code to read: CHAPTER 58 SWIMMING POOLS Sec.5801 DEFINITIONS. For the purpose of this Article cer- tain terms are hereby defined as follows: 4 "Pool" shall mean any body of water created by artificial means which is designed or used for swimming or immersion pur- poses by men, women, or children and which has a water depth ex- ceeding eighteen (18) inches. The term "pool" shall include swimming pools, spas, hot tubs and above and below ground vinyl - lined pools but does not apply to plumbing fixtures such as bath- tubs; nor does it apply to man -made lakes, reservoirs, or farm ponds used primarily for public park purposes, water conserva- tion, irrigation, or watering of livestock. Sec.5802 POOL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. (a) GENERAL. Pool design and construction shall be in accor- dance with accepted engineering practice, shall be in conformity with applicable provisions of the adopted building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical codes, and shall be structurally suitable for the soil, topographic, and geologic conditions prevailing at the construction site. (b) EXPANSIVE SOIL DESIGN. Pools constructed at grade shall be designed on the assumption that their construction is to be in an area of moderately expansive soil having an expansion index of 51 -90 and an equivalent fluid pressure of not less than 45 pounds per cubic foot (45 p.c.f.). Exception: Where tests indicate that soils at a pool site are non - expansive or have low expansion characteristics from the ground surface to the full depth of the pool, structural design may be based on an equivalent fluid pres- sure not less than 30 p.c.f. In highly expansive soils having an expansion index of 91- 130, pools shall be designed for not less than 60 p.c.f. equiva- alent fluid pressure. In very highly expansive soils having an expansion index over 130, pool design shall be subject to special requirements based on a site investigation, soil testing, and en- gineering analysis by a registered civil engineer to determine appropriate design parameters for the site. (c) HYDROSTATIC UPLIFT. In areas of anticipated high water table, an approved hydrostatic relief system or device shall be installed. (d) THERMAL PROTECTION FOR PLASTIC PIPING. Between the in- let of pool water heating equipment and any plastic water piping connected thereto, a check valve shall be installed to prevent thermal damage to such piping due to backflow. Exception: When rapid or high -rate filters are employed a check valve may be omitted. Between the outlet of pool heating equipment and any plastic water piping connected thereto, not less than five feet of ap- proved metal pipe shall be installed for the purpose of dissipat- ing heat. (e) SAFEGUARDING SUCTION DRAINS. Bottom drains and suction intakes in pools and spas shall be covered with grates or other protective devices which cannot be removed except with tools. 6 The slots or openings in these covers shall be of such area, shape, and arrangement as to prevent bathers from being drawn thereto with such force as to constitute a safety hazard. (f) GRAB BARS. Wherever egress from a pool by bathers is restricted by the presence of a vertical wall or other barrier which extends more than 12 inches above the water at the pool's edge, permanent handrails, grab bars, or equivalent device(s) shall be installed within 12 inches of the water surface, capable of being securely grasped and adequate to support the weight of a user of the pool. Sec. 5803 DECKS (a) GENERAL. A deck shall be provided around below -grade swimming pools except when special engineering design is fur- nished which indicates that such deck is not necessary for the purpose of maintaining the structural integrity of the pool and /or for controlling surface water and moisture content in the soil adjacent to the pool. Decks shall not be required for spas and hot tubs. (b) DECK DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. Required decks shall be constructed of concrete or other approved impervious material and shall be sloped to provide positive drainage away from the perimeter of the pool. Except as provided below, decks shall have a minimum width of four feet and shall be at least 3 -1/2 inches in thickness. Reinforcement shall be 23 bars spaced not over 24 inches o.c. each way, or equivalent reinforcing. Approved joints shall be provided in the deck at corners, at maximum 10 -foot intervals, and wherever necessary in order to control cracking, to allow for differential movement, and to min- imize damage to the deck from such movement should it occur. Joints in decks and coping shall be made watertight with an ap- proved permanent resilient sealant. (c) CUTOFF WALLS. At the outer perimeter of pool decks a cutoff wall of approved material shall be installed below -grade to a depth of at least 15 inches so as to form a permanent and effective vertical moisture barrier. Exceptions: 1. A cutoff wall may be omitted when a deck at least six feet wide is installed. 2. Decks less than four feet in width may be installed provided that the required cutoff wall is increased in depth beyond the minimum by an amount directly proportional to the reduction in deck width. (d) PRE - SATURATION, HIGHLY EXPANSIVE SOILS. When the soil below a deck has an expansion index of 91 or greater it shall be saturated with water to a depth of at least 18 inches prior to installation of the deck. 0 Sec. 5804 DRAINAGE AND DISPOSAL (a) SURFACE WATER. Surface water from pool decks shall be collected and conducted through non - erosive devices to a street, storm drain, or other approved watercourse or disposal area. (b) WASTEWATER. Pool waste shall be disposed of in accor- dance with the requirements of the Health Officer. (c) DRYWELLS. Drywells shall not be employed for pool wastewater disposal except when specifically approved for the purpose and when it has been determined that such installation is not likely to have adverse effects on the structural stability of the pool or other structures on the site. The Building Official may require a percolation test, soils report, and /or geological report to make such a determination. Sec. 5805. SPECIAL INSPECTION. Special inspection as re- quired by Section 306 in the UBC shall be provided for pneumati- cally placed concrete (gunite) in swimming pools. Sec. 5806. FENCING AND GATES. Any person, firm, or cor- poration in possession of land either as owner in fee, purchaser under contract, lessee, tenant, licensee or any type of legal es- tate upon which is situated a pool as defined above shall at all times maintain on the lot or premises a fence or wall not less than five feet in height which completely surrounds such pool or body of water provided, however, that a dwelling or accessory building may be used as a part of such enclosure. Said fence shall be constructed of durable material and shall be designed to withstand a horizontal force of at least 20 pounds per lineal foot at the top of the fence or top of the railing. Openings, holes, or gaps therein shall be no larger than four inches wide except for openings closed by doors or gates. Fences shall not have a configuration which provides a ladder -like access to the pool area. Each gate or door opening through a pool enclosure shall be equipped with a self- closing and self- latching device capable of keeping the gate or door securely closed at all times when not in use. Exceptions: 1. Doors in Group R, Division 1 and 3 oc- cupancies which form part of a pool enclosure. 2. Gates used primarily for ingress and egress of equipment but not persons to the pool area, and which are kept padlocked when not in use. Required latching devices shall be installed not less than four feet above ground level. The Building Official may make modifications and accept al- ternatives to the fencing requirements in individual cases upon a showing of good cause with respect to the height, nature, or 7 location of the fence, wall, gates, or latches, or the necessity therefor, provided that protection is not reduced thereby.
