SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA
April 3, 1961
City Council
San Luis Obispo, Calif.
City Hall
San Luis Obispo, Calif.
Gentlemen,
A Committee from this Association has met with official of the San Luis Obispo
City Planning and Building Department relative to the proposed adoption of the
Uniform Plumbing Code, 1958 - edition, for use by the City of San Luis Obispo.
It is the feeling of this Association that the adoption of this code is imperative
as at the present time we are operating under an obsolete code to the detriment
of the safety and welfare of the citizens of this dity.
Our committee meetings with the officials from the City of San Luis Obispo have
met with agreement on the adoption of the 1958 code with the following exceptions
that the committee from this Association feel should be made in order that the
code be acceptable to the general public. These exceptions are in addition to
the changes that the committee and the officials of the city have agreed on should
be made in the code.
1) Sec. 1.8(c) The wording of this section is such that it encourages violation
of the code by taking away the right of a person to help.his neighbor.
2), Sec. 1.9. Makes a permit required for any work entailing replacement of any
part of a plumbing system. Almost completely un- enforceable would not allow home-
owner to replace even a simple fitting without permit and inspection.
3) Sec. 406(g) This, section is unneccesary as provision for placement and number
of access (crawl) holes is made in uniform building code now in force.
4) Sec. 504(a)l. In order to comply with this section every dwelling would have to
be planned with one wall constructed with 611 studs. It is the opinion of this committee
that the 211 Vent is sufficient in the event-provided for by this section.
5) Sec. 703(b), 804(c). Prohibit use of "slip jointstt on outlet side of any trap.
There is no logical reason for this prohibition. Would work hardship on most
homeowners in doing simple repairs on their own property.
tX13 (F)
6) Sec. Prohibits use of ttuniontt joint on gas lines, with exceptions.
Committee feels that ground contact union is good connection, as evidenced by
exceptions to this section and should be allowed.
8) Sec. 1303. Prohibits replacing Water Heater without permit. Committee feels
that this section is unenforceable and unrealistic.

A. Definitions -Igor purposes of this sections the terns used herein shall have the
following meanings:
1. The term "architect" sball mean a person holding a valid and unrevoked certificate
to practice architecture issued by the State of California,
2,. The teft "professional engineer" shall mean a person holding a valid and unrevoked
certificate of registration as a professional engineer issued by the State of Calif-
ornia.

ation or repair of a building or structure„
B The provisions of this Code are not intended to prevent the use of any materiaa,. or
any method of construction not specifically prescribed by taxis Code,, provided any such
alternate design is satisfactory and complies with the provisions of this Code with respect
-to Loads; and the material, method and work offered is9 for the purpose intended,, at least
the equivalent of that prescribed in this Code in quality., strengthp effectiveness, time
period of fire resistance, durability., and safety.
C. The Department shall not deny a building permit on the ground that plans and space.-
fications provide any material or method of construction not specifically prescribed by this
Code, when the architect or professional engineer in responsible charge of the design files
with the department a written Certification of Approval,, signed by hi% and duly acknowledged,,.
in which he states as follows:
1. That he is an architect or professional engineers and specifies his California
Certificate number,
2. That he is in responsible charge of design.
34 That the plans and specifications contain certain alternate designs which he has
identified it his certification of Approval.

ment would function by the Department making its usual plan check and notifying the architect
or engineer of the Department's exceptions. The Certification of Approval then, when used,,;
could be limited to whatever exceptions the qualified architect or professional engineer
wishes maintained in his ultimate design after he has had an opportunity to review the
Building Department's plan check.)
