Sec. 3602. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENT IN HIGH FIRE HAZARD
AREAS. The purpose of this Section is to provide a minimum standard for
the fire protection of buildings and structures hereafter erected in
proximity to areas of the City where concentrations of highly flammable

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 installation is encouraged, neither I nanual nor
automatic fire extinguishing systems or similar water spraying devices

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.

waive the requirements of UBC Sec. 3601.1 through 3602.5 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 Protection District, based upon site conditions which
justify a reduction in fire resistance.
15.08.100 FOUNDATION DESIGN. Section 1804.2 and 1804.7 are
hereby amended to read:
Section 1804.2 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, liquefaction and expansiveness.
Whenever, in the opinion of the Building Official, the adequacy 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 investigation and report. Geologic _
investigations such as those for hillside stability or seismic hazards shall be
conducted by California- certified Engineering Geologist.
I
Section 1804.7 Drainage, provisions shall be made for the control

equivalent fluid pressures 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. equivalent fluid pressure. In

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 approved metal pipe shall be
installed for the purpose of dissipating heat.
3702.5 SAFEGUARDING SUCTION DRAINS. Bottom drains and suction
intakes in pools and spas shall be covered with grated or other protective
devices which cannot be removed except with tools. The slots or openings
in these covers shall be of such area, shape, and arrangement as to prevent

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
handrail, 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.
Section. 3703 DECKS
3703.1 GENERAL. A deck shall be provided around below -grade
swimming pools except when special engineering design is furnished 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.

maximum 10 -foot intervals, and wherever necessary in order to control
cracking, to allow for differential movement and to minimize damage to
the deck from such movement should it occur. Joints in decks and coping
shall be made watertight with an approved permanent resilient sealant.
3703.3 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.
Exception: 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.
3703.4 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.
Section 3704. DRAINAGE AND DISPOSAL
3704.1 SURFACE WATER. Surface water from pool decks shall be
directed to a street storm drain, natural drainage course, or other
approved location in approved non - erosive devices .

water 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.
Section. 3705. SPECIAL INSPECTION. Special inspection as required

p g ac a wi 2 -Inch (51 mm) nominal or wider framing. Panels Installed either horizontally or vertically. Space nails at 6 inches(152 mm) on center along intermediate framing members for 3/8 -inch (9.5mm) and7 /16 -inch (11 mm) panels
installed on studs spaced 24 inches (610 mm) on center and 12 inches (305 mm) on center for other conditions and panel thickness'. These values are for short time loads due to wind or earthquake and must be reduced 25 percent for normal loading.
Allowable shear values for nails in framing members of other species set forth in Table 23- III -FF of Division If shall be calculated for all other
grades by multiplying the shear capacities for nails in Structural 1 by the following factors: 0.82 for species with specific gravity greater than or equal to 0.42 but less than 0.49, and 0.65 for species with a specific gravity less than 0.42.
2. Where panels are applied on both faces of a wall and nail spacing is less than 6 inches (152 mm) on center on either side, panel 'pints shall be offset to fall on different framing members or framing shall be 3 inch (76 mm) nominal or wider
and nails on each side shall be staggered.
3. Framing at adjoining panel edges shall be 3 inch (76 mm) nominal or wider and nails shall be staggered where nails are spaced 2 inches (51 mm) on center.
4. The values for 3/8 -inch (9.5 mm) and 7/16 -inch (11 mm) panels applied direct to framing may be Increased to the values shown for 15132 -inch (12 mm) panels, provided studs are spaced a maximum of 16 (406 mm) inches on center and panels are
applied with long dimensions across studs.
5. Framing at adjoining panel edges shall be 3 inch (76 mm) nominal or wider and nails shall be staggered where 10d nails having penetration into framing of more than 1 5/8 inches (41 mm) are spaced 3 inches (76 mm) or less on center.
6. For plywood shear walls rated at more than 300 pounds per foot, 3 inch (76 mm) nominal members shall be provided at all panel edges and boundaries. The minimum edge distance for nailing at these members shall be 1/2 -inch.
7. The shear values listed in this table shall be reduced to 75 percent for short term seismic loading.
