A significantly <br />higher than code lateral design parameter would be necessary to further reduce potential <br />economic loss during a major seismic event. Structural engineers, however, often regard <br />higher than code values as impractical for use in structural design. The structural engineer and <br />project owner must decide what level of risk is acceptable and to assign appropriate seismic <br />values for use in structural design. The risk of damage to the structural due to a large <br />earthquake cannot be totally eliminated and obtain appropriate insurance as a mitigation <br />measure is strongly recommended. <br />Page 5 <br />SEISMIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS <br />Although no know active faults traverse through the subject site, like most of Southern <br />California, the subject site lies within a seismically active area. Earthquake resistance <br />structural design is recommended. Designing structural to be earthq uake-proof is generally <br />considered to be impractical, especially for private projects, due to cost limitations, significant <br />damage to structures may be unavoidable during large earthquakes. The structural design of <br />the proposed structures should be based on the 2019 California Building Code. The following <br />minimum seismic parameter should be used:
