CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE WITH AMENDMENTS.
The Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION l: FINDINGS. The City Council find and declares as follows:
A„ Health and Safety Code § 17958 requires the City is required to adopt
certain uniform codes that are set forth in Health and Safety Code § 17922 and published in the
California Code of Regulations;
B. Pursuant to Government Code §§ 50022.2, et seq., the City may adopt
other uniform codes by reference;
C. It is in the public interest to adopt the 2001 Edition of the California
Energy Code set forth in this Ordinance;
D. At least one copy of the California Energy Code was filed with the City
Clerk of the City was available for public inspection for at least fifteen (15) days preceding the
date of the hearing
SECTION 2: A new Chapter 15 is added to Title 13 to the El Segundo Municipal Code
(`SSMC ") to read as follows:
"13 -15 -1: ADOPTION OF CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE, 2001 EDITION.
Pursuant to California Government Code §§ 50022.1 to 50022.8, inclusive, the California Energy
Code, 2001 Edition, published at Title 24, Part 6, of the California Code of Regulations, is
adopted by reference, set forth below. One true copy of the California Energy Code, is on file in
the office of the Building Official and is available for public inspection as required by law."
SECTION 3: CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT EXEMPTION. The City
Council determines that this ordinance is exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA ") and
the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the
"State CEQA Guidelines ") because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to an
existing code of construction - related regulations and specification of procedures related thereto
and will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or
findings required therefor. This ordinance, therefore, is an action being taken for enhanced
protection of the environment and that does not have the potential to cause significant effects on
the environment.
SECTION 4: SAVINGS CLAUSE. Repeal of any provision of the ESMC or any other city
ordinance herein will not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude

prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before, this Ordinance's
effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or
prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 5: SEVERABILITY. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that such invalidity will not
affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the
provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 6: VALIDITY OF PREVIOUS CODE SECTIONS. If this the entire Ordinance or its
application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal of the ESMC or
other the city ordinance by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such ESMC provision
or other the city ordinance to remain in full force and effect for all purposes.
SECTION 7: EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance will take effect on the 31St day following its
final passage and adoption.
