WITH AMENDMENTS.
The Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. Health and Safety Code § 17958 requires the City is required to
adopt certain 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;

Green Building 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: Chapter 17 is amended in it's entirety in Title 13 of the El Segundo
Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") to read as follows:
CHAPTER 17
GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
13 -17 -1: ADOPTION OF CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS
CODE, 2010 EDITION. Pursuant to California Government Code §§ 50022.1 to
50022.8, inclusive, the California Green Building Standards Code, 2010 Edition,
published at Title 24, Part 11, of the California Code of Regulations, is adopted
by reference, set forth below. One true copy of the California Green Building
Standards 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 Any such repealed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 16th day of o. 2010.
