§ 19.90.020. Seismic zone.

Latest version.

Each site shall be assigned to a minimum Seismic Design Category (SDC) D except as provided for in this section. The administrative authority may reassign a site to an alternate seismic zone for either of the following reasons:
(1)

Where a building under County jurisdiction is located within an area that has been designated by an incorporated city to be in a SDC other than D.

(2)

Where a detailed analysis by a registered engineering geologist or other qualified professional determines that the site or geographic area encompassing the site is in a seismic zone other SDC D.

(3)

Where the SDG is determined to be greater per CBC.

The details of the findings used in reassigning a site to an alternate seismic zone shall be recorded and entered into the files of the Administrative Authority.
