Showing ordinances that apply to McClellan Park, CA
McClellan Park is an unincorporated community (population 926) in Sacramento County, California. Because McClellan Park is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Sacramento County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The scaffold & sidewalk shed rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Unincorporated Sacramento County scaffolding must comply with CA Building Code Chapter 33 and Cal/OSHA Title 8 standards. Scaffolds over 35 feet require engineering and permits through Community Development. Public right-of-way encroachment needs a separate encroachment permit from DOT.
Sacramento County adopts the California Building Code (CBC) and California Building Standards Code through Title 16 of the County Code. Scaffolding erected for construction, repair, painting, or demolition must meet Chapter 33 of the CBC and Cal/OSHA Title 8 Construction Safety Orders (Articles 20-22, sections 1635-1662). Guardrails are required at 39-45 inches high with midrails and 4-inch toeboards where workers could fall 7.5 feet or more. Planking must fully cover platforms with no gaps exceeding 1 inch. If scaffolding extends into the public right-of-way, sidewalk, or alley, the contractor must obtain an encroachment permit from Sacramento County Department of Transportation and maintain pedestrian protection (covered walkways) per CBC 3306. For scaffolds over 35 feet tall, stamped engineered drawings are required. Tower and suspended scaffolds require inspection by a qualified person before each shift.
