The City is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly referred to as <br />"Santa Ana" wind conditions, which can reach wind speeds of up to 80 miles per hour. In addition, <br />the convergence of the marine shore air flow and the desert air flow creates steady winds on a daily <br />basis in the region. Finally, the City's topography is such that portions of the City contain small, brush - <br />covered hillsides, which either contribute to or create gusty wind conditions by causing natural <br />funneling effects and contribute to the increased potential for brush fires in the area. <br />Applicable Uniform Code Amendments: UBC 106.2, 1603.3.4, 1615, 1617, <br />1806.1, 904.2.11, 2315. <br />3. The City periodically experiences drought conditions and limited water <br />supplies. The drought conditions and limited storage capacity for water resources demands prudent <br />management of existing water supplies so that contamination is avoided, water conservation is <br />encouraged and sufficient water supplies are available for fire suppression and other purposes. <br />Applicable Uniform Code Amendments: UPC 701.1.2 <br />4. The City, like much of the surrounding region, is subject to moderately <br />strong ground shaking from nearby earthquake faults, including the Elsinore and Chino Fault Lines. <br />Existing and planned developments are at risk from structural damage from earthquake faults. Thus, <br />improved standards are needed to ensure that maximum safety is provided to persons and property. <br />me <br />
