CHAPTER 15
ENERGY CODE
SECTION 2: Chapter 15 is amended in it's entirety in Title 13 of the El Segundo
Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") to read as follows:
13 -15 -1: ADOPTION OF CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE, 2010 EDITION.
Pursuant to California Government Code §§ 50022.1 to 50022.8, inclusive, the
California Energy Code, 2010 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 Any such repealed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 January 1, 2011.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 16thday of Nove 2010.
