BACKGROUND
Every three years the State mandates that local jurisdictions update their construction
codes to reflect common, current editions of selected codes. This year the codes to be
adopted are the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Building Code, 1997 Edition of the Uniform
Mechanical Code published by ICBG, the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code
published by IAPMO, and the 1996 Edition of the National Electrical Code published by
NFPA.
Local jurisdictions are allowed to amend the published codes only to address local
geographic, topographic and climatic conditions and to establish administrative provisions
for enforcing such codes. This year staff has reviewed our technical current amendments to
see if the adoption of a set of uniform amendments developed by a collaboration of local
jurisdictions, to promote uniform enforcement in the region, would be beneficial to the
construction industry while enhancing public safety. The majority of all City amendments
presented in this ordinance are from the regional amendment package. These amendments
have been presented to local builders, contractors, and designers. The City received no
significant opposition to the proposed ordinance.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Adopt State codes without regional amendments.
Adopted: /C Agenda IR llll IX
