(a) Except as provided in Section 17922.6, the governing
body of a city or county, before making any modifications or changes
pursuant to Section 17958.5, shall make an express finding that such
modifications or changes are reasonably necessary because of local
climatic, geological or topographical conditions.  Such a finding
shall be available as a public record.  A copy of those findings,
together with the modification or change expressly marked and
identified to which each finding refers, shall be filed with the
California Building Standards Commission.  No modification or change
shall become effective or operative for any purpose until the finding
and the modification or change have been filed with the California
Building Standards Commission.
   (b) The California Building Standards Commission may reject a
modification or change filed by the governing body of a city or
county if no finding was submitted.
