SECTION 3: That the Santa Ana Municipal Code, is hereby
amended by adding a section, to be numbered 8-2003.1 which
said section reads as follows:
SECTION 8-2003.1. ALTERNATE DETERMINATION OF RATING
CLASSIFICATION
(a) FILING OF FLOORPLAN. In lieu of utilizing Table
No. 33-A of Chapter 33 of the Uniform Building Code for
determining the rating classification of a building, the
owner of any such building may file with the director a
floorplan of, and other supporting documents pertaining to
the building, indicating the various occupancies within, and
actual numbers of persons occupying the various portions of
the building, together with a written request that the
alternate determination of rating classification be used for
such building. Such floorplan and supporting documentation
shall be filed with the director no later than one hundred
and eighty (180) days from the date of service of the director's
order under Subsection(b) of Section 8-2.004.
(b) ACTION BY DIRECTOR. Upon receipt of the floorplan
and supporting documents, the director shall investigate the
request. The director's investigation may include one or
more inspections of the building. Within thirty (30) days
after receipt of the floorplan and other documents, the
ORDINANCE NO. NS-16?3
PAGE FOUR
director shall take action on the request by either approving,
conditionally approving or denying such request. If the
request is approved or conditionally approved by the director,
the director may reclassify the building into a lower rating
classification. In so reclassifying the building, the
director shall consider the total occupant load as certified
by the owner and multiply said figure by two. The occupant
load of the building as determined by the director shall be
in lieu of utilizing Table No. 33-A of Chapter 33 of the
Uniform Building Code. The reduced occupancy load as determined
by the director shall be used only for the purposes of this
article and not for the purpose of satisfying the requirements
of any other provision of the Santa Ana Municipal Code.
(c) APPEAL FROM DIRECTOR'S DECISION. If the director
denies the request for reclassification, or approves the
request but attaches one or more conditions which the owner
finds objectionable, the owner may appeal the director's
decision to the Uniform Code Appeals Board in the manner
authorized by Subsection(d) of Section 8-2004. All appeals
shall be filed with the Uniform Code Appeals Board within
thirty(30) days after the date of the director's decision.
(d) RECERTIFICATION BY OWNER. Con~mencing on January
31st of the year after which the director has approved or
conditionally approved the owner's request for reclassification
under this section, and each year thereafter until the
building is brought into compliance with the provisions of
this article, the owner shall submit to the director a
statement certifying that the occupant load of the building
has not changed during the previous reporting period. If
any annual recertification filed by an owner with the director
indicates that the occupant load of the building has increased
so as to result in a possible upward change of classification
(e.g. from low risk, or Class IV, to medium risk, or Class
III, etc.) or if the director learns of any such increased
occupant load from any other source, the director, upon
fifteen(15) days prior written notice to the owner, may hold
a hearing for the purpose of reclassifying the building to
a higher classification. The owner may present any oral or
written evidence at said hearing, and be represented by
counsel. Within fifteen (15) days after the close of said
hearing, the director shall provide written notice to the
owner of his decision. The director's decision may be
appealed by the owner to the Uniform Code Appeals Board in
the manner provided in Subsection (d) of Section 8-2004.

FORCED MASONRY WALLS.
(1) GENERAL PROVISIONS. Ail unreinforced masonry
walls utilized to carry vertical loads and seismic forces
parallel and perpendicular to the wall plans shall be tested
as specified in this section. All masonry quality shall
equal or exceed the minimum standards established herein or
shall be removed and replaced by new materials. Alternate
methods of testing approved by the deparment may be used.
Nothing shall prevent pointing with mortar of all the masonry
wall joints before the tests are first made. Prior to any
pointing, the mortar joints must be raked and cleaned to
remove loose and deteriorating mortar. All preparation and
mortar pointing shall be done under the continuous inspection
of the director with a subsequent written report to the
department. All testing shall be performed by an approved
testing agency in accordance with the requirements specified
in this subsection.
EXCEPTION: Unreinforced masonry walls which carry
no design horizontal or vertical loads other than their own
weight may be considered as veneer if they are adequately
anchored to new supporting elements, in accordance with this
section.
(2) NUMBER AND LOCATION OF TESTS. The quality of
mortar in all masonry walls shall be determined by performing
in place shear tests or by testing eight inch (8") diameter
cores. The minimum number of tests shall be two (2) per wall
or line of wall elements resisting a common seismic force,
one per one thousand five hundred (1,500) square feet of
wall surface, or eight (8) minimum, whichever requires the
largest number of tests or cores. The exact test or core
location shall be determined at the building site by the
licensed engineer or architect responsible for the seismic
analysis of the subject building. The results of all tests
or coring shall be recorded and reported.
ORDINANCE NO. NS-1673
PAGE TWELVE
(3) IN-PLACE SHEAR TESTS. The bed joints of the
outer wythe of the masonry shall be tested in shear by
laterally displaying a single brick relative to the adjacent
bricks in that wythe. The opposite head joint of the brick
to be tested shall be removed and cleaned prior to testing.
The minimum quality mortar in eighty percent (80%) of the
shear tests shall not be less than the total of thirty (30)
psi plus the axial stress in the wall at the point of the
test. The shear stress shall be based on the gross area of
both bed joints and shall be that at which movement of the
brick is first observed.
(4) CORE TESTS. A minimum number of mortar test
specimens equal to the number of required cores shall be
prepared from the cores and tested as specified herein. The
mortar joint of the outer wythe of the masonry core shall be
tested in shear by placing the circular core section in a
compression testing machine with the mortar bed joint rotated
fifteen (15) degrees from the axis of the applied load. The
mortar joint tested in shear shall have an average ultimate
stress based on the gross area of twenty (20) psi. The
average shall be made from the total number of cores made.
If test specimens cannot be made from the total taken the
shear value shall be reported as zero. The results of all
coring and shear testing shall be reported.
(f) TESTING OF SHEAR BOLTS. One-fourth (1/4) of all
new shear bolts and dowels embedded in unreinforced masronry
walls shall be tested by the director using a torque cali-
brated wrench to the following minimum torques:
1/2" diameter bolts or dowels = 40 foot-lbs.
5/8" diameter bolts or dowels = 50 foot-lbs.
3/4" diameter bolts or dowels = 60 foot-lbs.
No bolts eXceeding 3/4 inch shall be used. Ail
nuts shall be installed over malleable iron or plate washers
when bearing on wood and heavy cut washers when bearing on
steel.

(h) TESTING OF ROD ANCHORS. Five percent (5%) of
the existing rod anchors utilized as all or part of required
wall anchors shall be tested in pullout by an approved
testing laboratory. The minimum number tested shall be four
(4) per floor, with two (2) tests at walls with joists
framing into the wall and two (2) tests at walls with joists
parallel to the wall. The test apparatus shall be supported
on the masonry wall at a minimum distance of the wall
thickness from the anchor tested. The rod anchor shall be
given a preload of 300 lbs. prior to'establishing a datum
for recording elongation. The tension test load reported
shall be recorded at one-eighth (1/Sth) inch relative movement
of the anchor and the adjacent masonry surface. Results of
all tests shall be reported. The allowable resistance value
of existing anchors shall be forty percent (40%) of the
average of the reported test loads.
