<br />2. The City is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly referred to as "Santa Ana"
<br />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
<br />winds on a daily basis in the region. Finally, the City's topography is such that portions
<br />of the City contain small, brush -covered hillsides, which either contribute to or create
<br />gusty wind conditions by causing natural funneling effects and contribute to the
<br />increased potential for brush fires in the area.

<br />903.2.7, 903.2.9, 903.2.9.1, and Chapter 28
<br />3. The City periodically experiences drought conditions and limited water supplies. The
<br />drought conditions and limited storage capacity for water resources demands prudent
<br />management of existing water supplies so that contamination is avoided and water
<br />conservation is encouraged so that sufficient water supplies are available for fire
<br />suppression and other purposes.

<br />903.2.7, 903.2.9, 903.2.9.1, and Chapter 28
<br />4. The City, like much of the surrounding region, is subject to moderately strong ground
<br />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
<br />faults. Thus, improved standards are needed to ensure that maximum safety is provided
<br />to persons and property.
<br />Applicable Code Amendments: CBC 903.2, 903.2.1, 903.2.1.1, 903.2.1.2, 903.2.1.3,

<br />903.2.7, 903.2.9, 903.2.9.1, and Chapter 28
<br />5. The City's existing topography and geology creates significant barriers to timely
<br />emergency response, including the existence of 2 interstate highways, older, narrow
<br />streets, traffic signals and railroad tracks.
