C~~ OF SAN BERNARDQO - REQUQT FOR COUNCIL ~ON
STAFF REPORT
Present department policy prescribes more stringent roofing requirements
than normal code prescription for a designated high wind area north of
Highland Avenue at the east and west, and otherwise north of the Crosstown
Freeway.
These requirements are less stringent, however, than the proposed ordinance
since no asphalt shingle roof at all will be permitted. Under present policy,
heavy-weight asphalt shingles installed with 6 nails per shingle and se1f-
tabbing are permitted.
The proposed ordinance would specify an area of very high winds where only
roof tile could be used on new pitched roof construction.
The balance of the present high wind area not covered by this ordinance,
would continue under the present requirements,
This item was heard by the Board of Building Commissioners on Friday,
April 3, 1987. The Board expressed agreement with this ordinance change
and requested that studies be made for inclusion of other areas with
substantial wind velocities concurrent with the adoption of the 1985 Uniform
Building Code.
