If, however, the City Council confirms the action of the Building Official in securing the structure at the hearing on appeal, or, if no appeal is taken, at any other regular meeting, or adjourned meeting, then the cost incurred by the City in securing the structure shall become a lien against the property, and a resolution of the City Council confirming the action of the Building Official, including the imposition of a lien upon the property upon which the structure is located to pay for the cost of securing it, may be adopted upon receipt of a report from the Building Official.

The changing of the advertising copy or message on a painted or printed sign. 2. Painting, repainting or cleaning of an advertising structure provided no structural change is made. 3.

SECTION 9: Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7 a city may make such modifications in the requirements of the regulations adopted pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17922 as it determines to be reasonably necessary because of local conditions, and the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga determines that the modifications set forth herein are in fact reasonably necessary because of local conditions as set forth more fully below: Ordinance No. 122 Page 27 a. It is reasonably necessary, because of local conditions, to modify and supplement Chapters 2 and 3 of the Uniform Building Code, Chapters 2 and 15 of the Uniform Housing Code, 1979 Editions, dealing with administration and enforcement, in order to provide for efficient and orderly operation of the Building and Safety Division. b. It is reasonably necessary, because of local conditions, to modify Sections 420, 1101, and add Section 1107 to Chapter 11 of the Uniform Building Code, 1979 Edition, in order to provide regulation and protection from life hazard in and around swimming pools and other man-made bodies of water. C. It is reasonably necessary, because of local conditions, to modify Sections 1105 and 2907 (b) of the Uniform Building Code, 1979 Edition, dealing with floors, in order to reduce deterioration in certain buildings. d. It is reasonably necessary, because of local conditions, to modify Sections 1704 and 3708 of the Uniform Building Code, 1979 Edition, and add Sections 1718 through 1720 to said Code, in order to reduce fire hazards and the spread of roof fires in buildings. e. It is reasonably necessary, due to local geological conditions, to modify chapter 70 of the Appendix of the Uniform Building Code, 1979 Edition, to reduce erosion and provide protection against development of hazardous grading conditions. Each and every modification of said Code as adopted by this City Council has been necessitated bacause the provisions of the published Code are inadequate to provide for protection of health, safety and welfare of the general public and efficient, orderly administration of the Building and Safety Division. The above listed expressed findings shall be made available as a public record and a copy with the modifications thereof, shall be kept on file with the Building and Safety Division. SECTION 10: The City Clerk shall file a certified copy of this ordinance with the State Department of Housing and Community Development.
