JUSTIFYING AMENDMENTS TO THE LATIONAL ELEC-
TRICAL CODE, 1975 EDITION.
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17953.5 provides
for a city to make changes or modifications in the National Elec-
trical Code, 1975 Edition, as are reasonably necessary because of
local conditions; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires
the City Council to make express findings of the necessity for
modifications in the National Electrical Code before adopting such
changes; and
WHEREAS, the Chief Electrical Inspector of the City of
Anaheim has recommended that the National Electrical Code, 1975
Edition, be adopted by the City with certain modifications and
amendments which are required by local conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the modifications
to the National Electrical Code recommended by the Chief Electri-
cal Inspector are hereby expressly found to be necessary on account
of local conditions as follows:
Section 15.16.030 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
This amendment requires undergrounding of electrical
connectors to accessory buildings, uses and other
specified locations. It also requires raceways be
installed to approved accessible locations where
space circuit protective devices, or space for such
devices, are provided on the buss in any flush or
semiflush mounted panel. This amendment is neces-
sary because of local soil, wind and other climatic
conditions which would otherwise cause a premature
deterioration of said devices.
Section 15.16.040 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
This amendment requires installation of receptacle
outlets at specified locations in detached garages
and carports and is necessary because of local
residential density and local consumer patterns
for the high use of residential electrical appli-
ances.
Section 15.16.050 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
This amendment requires at least one wall switch
controlled lighting outlet be installed in all
garages and carports and is necessary because of

This amendment requires service entrance conductors
extending along the exterior or entering buildings
to be enclosed in rigid metal conduit to the first
over current device, or for circuits not exceeding
600 volts to be in wireways, auxiliary gutters or
as bussways. This amendment is necessary because
of local environmental and climatic conditions
which cause rapid deterioration of other materials.
Section 15.16.070 of the Anaheim municipal Code.
This amendment requires a single fusible switch or
automatic circuit breaker to disconnect all un-
grounded conductors supplying each separately
metered occupancy. This amendment is necessary
because of local environmental and power consurzp-
tion patterns which require a single main switch
to avoid a hazard or danger to the safety of persons
or property.
Section 15.16.080 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
This amendment limits the use of nonmetallic-
sheathed cable to single- family and multiple-
family dwellings and is necessary because of local

tions.

and is necessary because of local environ-
mental and climatic conditions.

Electrical Code. This amendment eliminates
use of exposed cable wiring without boxes
and is necessary because of local climatic
and environmental conditions.
.040 Deletion of Exception No. 3 of Table

and is necessary because of rapid resi-
dential development in the City and the
possibility of damage from future plant-
ing or excavations.

together with the Ordinance adopting the National Electrical Code,
1975 Edition, as amended, be filed with the State Department of
Housing and Community Development.
