such work would, under the terms ofthis Chapter, require a permit, there shall be charged
an investigation fee in the amount established by resolution of the Council. The
investigation fee shall be in addition to all other fees and penalties as elsewhere set forth in
this Chapter and shall be paid before any application for permit shall be considered.
C. Where more than one reinspection of any item requiring inspection has to be made

.
A. Section 105 (Board of Appeals) is amended such that the function of the Board of
Appeals is vested with an Administrative Hearing Officer or Hearing Officer
appointed by the Town Manager pursuant to Articles IV and VI, Chapter 31 of the
Tiburon Municipal Code. Any appeal of orders pursuant to this Chapter shall be
conducted in accordance with the administrative hearing process as described in
Articles IV and V of Chapter 31 of the Tiburon Municipal Code.
B. Section 106.2, subsections 2,3,5,6,7,9, 10, and 11 are deleted.
(The Town finds that these amendments are necessitated by local geologic,
climatic, and privacy considerations existing in the Town of Tiburon).
C. Section 107.5.2 is amended to read as follows:
OThe investigation fee shall be established by resolution of the Town Council. 0
D. Section 502 is amended to read as follows:
"l. THEFOLLO~GSTANDARDSFORADDRESS~GS
SHALL APPLY TO RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS:
a. All residential structures shall display a street number in a prominent
position so that it shall be easily visible from the street. The numerals
in these numbers shall be no less than four inches in height, and one-
half inch in width, of a color contrasting to the background and located
so they may be clearly seen and read. If a building is not easily visible
from the street, then the numbers are to be mounted at the access drive
leading to the building.
b. At each vehicular access to a multiple family dwelling complex
having four or more buildings, there shall be an illuminated diagrammatic
representation (plot plan) of the complex, which shows the location of the
viewer and the building units within the complex.
c. In multiple family dwelling complexes, any building having a
separate identifying factor other than the street number shall be clearly
identified in the manner described in subsection a. Each individual unit of
residence shall have a unit identifying number, letter, or combination
thereof displayed upon the door.

d. Maps of the multiple family complex will be furnished to the police
and fire departments upon completion of construction. The maps shall
include building identification and unit identification.
e. Buildings shall be numbered in such a manner and sequence as to
meet with the approval of the enforcing authority.
f This section shall not prevent supplementary numbering such as
reflective numbers on street curbs or decorative numbering, but this shall
be considered supplemental only and shall not satisfy the requirements of
this section.
2. THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS FOR ADDRESS MARKINGS
SHALL APPLY TO COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS:
The address number of every commercial building shall be located and
displayed so that it shall be easily visible from the street. The numerals in
these numbers shall be no less than six inches in height, one-half inch in
width, and of a color contrasting to the background. In addition, any
business which affords vehicular access to the rear through any driveway,
alleyway, or parking lot shall also display the same numbers on the rear of
the building. "
The Town's reasoning for these amendments is to ensure quick response time to
homes and businesses in case of emergency, and to better facilitate delivery of the
mail.
E. Section 1503 is amended to read as follows:
"The roof covering on any structure regulated by this code shall be as specified in
Table 15-A and as classified in Section 1504. The roof-covering assembly includes
the roof deck, underlayment, interlayment, insulation, and covering which is
assigned a roof-covering classification.
1. All new buildings and new additions shall have at least a Class A-
listed or noncombustible roof covering.
2. Where alterations or repairs to existing roofs involve more than
50% of the total area of an existing building within a one year time
period, the entire roof shall be retrofitted with at least a Class A-
listed or noncombustible roof."
Town ofTiburon Ordinance No. 446 N. S. Effective 8/6/99

,
The Town finds that these amendments are necessitated by local climatic
conditions or other fire hazard conditions which exist in Tiburon.
F. Section 106.4.4 is amended to read as follows:
"I. Every pennit issued by the Building Official under the provisions of this
code after April 15, 1994, shall expire by limitation and become null and void
eighteen (18) months from the date the pennit is issued. The Building Official
shall have the discretionary authority to extend the pennit in the following
circumstances:
(a) where the project is unusually large or complex additional time may be
granted at the time of application, or
(b) where the pennittee has proceeded with due diligence and made substantial
progress but is unable to complete the project because of unforeseen
circumstances beyond the control of the pennittee, one extension of up to
six (6) months may be granted. In determining whether due diligence has
been exercised, the Building Official shall consider how soon work began
after issuance ofthe pennit, whether work was conducted on a regular
basis and any other relevant facts. Decisions of the Building Official made
pursuant to this section may be appealed to the Board of Appeals pursuant
to Chapter 31 of the Tiburon Municipal Code.
Once a pennit has expired pursuant to this section, the work shall not
recommence until a new pennit is issued. The new pennit shall be issued
only if there have been no changes in the original plans and specifications
and a new fee equal to the full original fee is paid.
2. All pennits issued by the Building Official prior to April 15, 1994, and
which have not expired by limitation shall remain subject to the provisions
of Section 303(d) of the Uniform Building Code (1991 edition) as drafted
by the International Conference of Building Officials. For purposes of such
pennits, failure to exercise due diligence and make substantial progress on
the work authorized shall be deemed suspension or abandonment of the
pennit."
The Town finds that these amendments are needed in order to reduce the number
of pennit extensions allowed and to establish a firm date for completion of work.

A. Table 1-1 (Schedule of Fees) is deleted.
B. Section 701.1.2 shall be amended to read as follows:
nABS and PVC DWV piping installations shall be limited to residential
construction not more than two stories in height."
The Town's reasons for this amendment are that the State Plumbing Code does not
allow plastics in other uses, environmental review on this topic has not been
performed, and because of the types and frequency of required fire assemblies in
other types of buildings, the use of plastics may be a fire hazard.

Section 3. Findings of Fact in Support of Amendments to Uniform Codes.
To the extent that any ofthe provisions of this ordinance constitute changes or
modifications in the requirements contained on Health and Safety Code Section 17922, the Town
Council of the Town ofTiburon does hereby find that such changes or modifications are
reasonable necessary because oflocal conditions prevailing within the Town ofTiburon. A
description of said local conditions is hereinafter set forth. The peninsular nature of the Town of
Tiburon, along with its inherent geographical features, presents unique problems to the Town of
Tiburon, whose primary concern in adoption of building-related codes is promotion of the public
health, safety, and welfare within the community.
The Tiburon peninsula extends in a generally southeastern direction from the northern
shore of the San Francisco Bay. It is approximately one to one and one-half mile in width and
approximately four miles long, surrounded by salt water on three sides.
Town ofTiburon Ordinance No. 446 N S. Effective 8/6/99
11
<
The Town ofTiburon encompasses an area ofrougWy four square miles with resident
population of approximately 8,900. Due to the significant visitor population to the Town of
Tiburon and to local state and county parks, the actual population can be considerably higher
depending on the time of year.
The placement of the residential and commercial development within the Town has
generally adapted itself to areas of least resistance within the confines of steep ridges, downslopes
and wooded hillsides. The other unique environmental characteristic of the Town is the shoreline
of San Francisco Bay, which creates the boundary of attraction to the visitor population.
With the given profile of the Town of Tiburon, the Town has established certain
requirements which were developed to reduce the level of exposure to the citizens and guests of
the Town, as well as the property (investments) within the jurisdiction. The following points were
established as factors which cause concern regarding building-related regulations in the Town and
are herein established and submitted as the Findings of Fact.
CLIMATIC: The weather patterns within the Town of Tiburon area are considered to be
moderately affected by the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay which extend the year round
growing season of vegetation. The normal year's rainfall is approximately 28 inches, while the
summer condition, with its prevalent Pacific High Cell creates the morning and late afternoon fog
normally associated with San Francisco Bay.
While normal temperatures usually do not exceed 75-80 degrees during the summer
months, little or no rain falls during the period between April and November. This combination
often creates hazardous fuel conditions in the area. Drying winds in the summer and fall months
reduce fuel moisture and relative humidity to the minimum levels, thereby creating ideal fire
weather conditions. The normal afternoon wind that precedes the fog can move a fire quickly in
the hillside and open space areas of the Town.
Because of climatic conditions, the County of Marin has experienced water rationing in
recent years. Water shortages can be expected in future years due to limited storage capacities in
Marin, increased domestic consumption and weather patterns which reduce the already minimal
annual rainfall. While sound management of the water resources is possible, actual demands on an
already stressed water supply can most assuredly be predicted.
GEOGRAPlllC: The Tiburon peninsula is geographically mixed with three classifications
of rock: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. The outstanding material is volcanic in origin
with a ridge of serpentine reaching in excess of 700 feet in elevation. Much of the Town is
characterized by steep terrain.
Town ofTiburon Ordinance No. 446 N S. Effective 8/6/99
12
.
Seismic activity within the Town occurs yearly with little or no damage, although a real
potential does exist with the peninsula situated between two active faults: San Andreas and
Hayward faults.
Landslides have also been experienced on the Tiburon peninsula in recent years. While
stabilization of hillsides can sometimes be achieved, heavy rainfalls have caused failures. These
slides have closed roadways, making accessibility to many locations in the Town impossible until
properly cleared.
TOPOGRAPHIC: The Town is accessible from the outside by only two primary
thoroughfares and only one of those permits speed in excess of 25 miles per hour by virtue of the
narrow and twisting configuration of Paradise Drive. This feature limits mutual aid companies
responding from neighboring communities for a large scale emergency to approach by only one
realistic route, and from only one side of the Town, as opposed to a non-peninsular area which
would be approachable from many directions and roadways.
Steep, hilly terrain and many secondary ridgelines affect vehicular access within the Town.
Many streets are narrow and winding, restricting the speed at which emergency vehicles may
safely respond and also increasing response times. Of the approximately 189 streets in the Town,
143 are dead-end streets, restricting the ease of emergency vehicles moving from one location to
another, even though actual separating distance between the two places may be minimal. In
addition to restricting access routes for emergency vehicles, the dead-end streets also limit egress
opportunities for residents.
The natural rocky shoreline of San Francisco Bay creates a situation (particularly along
Main Street and Paradise Drive) by which access to buildings can only be made via one street.
The fronts of the buildings are essentially the only accessibility point for responding. Buildings
constructed along the waterfront and some actually on piers over the Bay, create a situation
where the presence of bay waters limits escape opportunities from both residential and
commercial occupancies alike. Many of the nonconforming existing structures on Main Street are
built property line to property line with no provisions for required fire separations between the
buildings. Approximately 3,900 dwelling units and commercial buildings have been erected within
the Town over the past century with additional new construction occurring each year.
The location of the Town at one of the ends of the Marin Municipal Water District's
gravity system, the lack of cross connected, gridded water mains (due to Tiburon's existing street
configurations), and generalized water shortage in Marin County results in occasional inadequate
water volume and pressure for fire fighting purposes in certain areas of the peninsula.
Town ofTiburon Ordinance No. 446 N S. Effective 8/6/99
13
,
VEGETATION: Tiburon's semiarid Mediterranean-type climate produces vegetation
similar to that of most of Marin County, with specific growth locale a result of topography and
prevailing wind. The western ridge exposure is primarily rye grasses with occasional clumps of
bay and oak trees in the more sheltered pockets. The eastern slopes are heavily wooded from
shore to ridge with oak and bay trees and minor shrubs of the general chaparral class.
Expansion of the residential community into areas of heavier vegetation has resulted in
homes now existing in close proximity to dense natural foliage. Often such dwellings are
completely surrounded by highly combustible vegetation compounding the fire problem from a
conflagration point of view.
Approximately half of all the structures in the Town have costly shingle or shake roofs.
This very flammable material is higWy susceptible to ignition by embers from a wildland fire,
furthering the spread of fire to adjacent buildings.
As a result of the Findings of Fact which have identified the various Climatic,
Geographical and Topographical elements, the requirements established by the Town of Tiburon
within this Ordinance are considered REASONABLE AND NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS to
the requirements established pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17922 based on local
conditions.
While it is clearly understood that the adoption of such regulations may not prevent the
incidence ofloss or damage, it is further noted that with the implementation of these various
regulations and/or requirements, the severity and potential for loss of life and loss of property
within the Town may be reduced.
Section 4. Severability.
Should any part or provision of this Ordinance be declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of this
Ordinance as a whole, or any part thereof except that part or provision so declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Section 5. Effective Date.
This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty days after the date of passage, and
before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after passage by the Town Council, a copy of the
ordinance, or its legally required equivalent, shall be published with the names of the members
voting for and against it, at least once in a newspaper of general circulation published in the Town
of Tiburon.
