department adopted for limited-density owner-built rural dwellings,
which are codified in Article 8 (commencing with Section 74) of
Subchapter 1 of Chapter 1 of Title 25 of the California Code of
Regulations, shall not become operative within any city or county
unless and until the governing body of the city or county makes an
express finding that the application of those regulations within the
city or county is reasonably necessary because of local conditions
and the city or county files a copy of that finding with the
department.
   (b) In adopting ordinances or regulations for limited-density
owner-built rural dwellings, a city or county may make any changes or
modifications in the requirements contained in Article 8 (commencing
