CHAPTER 9. BUILDINGS.*
Sec. 9-3.1. Amendments to the Uniform Administrative Code.
The amendments to the Uniform Administrative Code referred to
in Section 9-3 of this Code are as follows:
(a) Add a new sentence to the end of Subsection 101.2 that
reads as follows:
This code is to be used as a reference companion to the
administrative portions of the California Building, Electrical, Plumbing and
Mechanical Codes. In the event of conflict between this code and the codes
referenced, the provisions of the California Codes and the amendments specified
in Section 9-3.1 shall supersede the provisions of this code.
(b) Add a new sentence to the end of Subsection 101.3 that
reads as follows:
The city council may authorize deviations from any provision
of this code upon a declaration of a federal, state or local
emergency.
(c) Subsection 102.6 is amended to read as follows:
Moved or Temporary Buildings.
Buildings, structures and their building service equipment
moved into or from one parcel to another within this jurisdiction, shall comply
with the provisions of Article III of Chapter 9 of the Salinas City
Code.
Exception:
With respect to residential structures, Health and Safety
Code ('HSC') Division 13, Part 1.5, Section 17910, et seq., known as the State
Housing Law, supersedes the applicability of California Code of Regulations
(OCR) Titles 24 and 25 to the degree that there is any conflict between the
State Housing Law and either the building standards or other regulations
contained in Titles 24 or 25. HSC Section 17922.3 and 17958.9 prohibits the
application of current building standards to relocated residential structures.
This prohibition is not applicable to the foundation for the structure or to
work related to the elimination of substandard conditions as defined by HSC
Section 17920.3, and such exemption does not apply to the remaining City Code
requirements for relocated buildings as specified in Article Ill of Chapter 9 of
the Salinas City Code.
(d) Add the following wording to the end of the last sentence
of the paragraph in Section 201.2: "except as otherwise expressly
provided."
(e) Section 202.1 is amended by deleting the sentence
reading, "For such purposes, he shall have the powers of a law enforcement
officer" and substituting therefor, "The Building Official and his deputies are
specifically authorized to arrest persons for violation of any such technical
codes in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (a) of Section 836.5 of
the Penal Code of the State of California."
(f) Section 205 is amended by adding the following paragraph
to the end of the section to reads as follows:
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the
provisions of this Code shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and each such
person shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every day or
portion thereof during which any violation of any of the provisions of this Code
is committed, continued, or permitted, and upon conviction of any such violation
such person shall be punishable as specified in Section 1-7 of the Salinas City
Code.
(g) Amend the first paragraph of Section 304.2 to read as
follows:
304.2 Permit Fees. The fee for each permit shall be as set
forth in Tables 3-A through 3-H as set forth in Resolution Number 18138 adopted
by the Salinas City Council on January 14, 2003 (or by succeeding

(h) Section 304.5.2 is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:
304.5.2 Fee. An investigation fee, in addition to the permit
fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued.
The investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee, as set
forth in Tables Nos. 3-A through 3-H of Resolution Number 18138 adopted by the
Salinas City Council on January 14, 2003 (or by succeeding resolution), or up to
and including $300.00, whichever is greater. The payment of such investigation
fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of
either this code or the technical codes nor from any penalty prescribed by
law.
(i) Table 3 - D, entitled "Plumbing Permit Fees," is amended
by adding a new subsection 3 to "Permit Issuance" to read as follows:
