Community development staff and fire officials summarized the changes during a single presentation before the committee voted. Michael Cunningham of the community development department said the package would allow the city to \"maintain our definition of a high rise at 75 feet,\" and that the department proposes staying on the 2009 accessibility standard rather than adopting the 2017 update.

The package bundles multiple code updates into a single adoption effort so the city’s building, residential, fire, energy, electrical, plumbing and mechanical regulations are brought into alignment with the 2024 model codes and local amendments. Cunningham told the panel that the city has coordinated with industry stakeholders and that the code amendments include changes to Chapter 10 on traps and interceptors to simplify an existing AMMR process, the addition of adult changing tables, and the removal of slab-edge insulation from the energy code in exchange for other energy-efficiency measures.

Assistant Fire Marshall Sherry Shoop described significant fire-code updates that staff presented to the committee. Shoop said the fire protection report requirements for certain building types would be expanded to provide more information up front, and Section 105 will broaden the list of occupancies and hazard types requiring operational permits. She said the consensus committee consolidated reporting for deficiencies and impairments of building fire-protection systems and that \"there wasn't previously a requirement for how those would be reported. Now there's gonna be a common portal that everyone will use consistently throughout the valley.\" Shoop also said the package includes enhanced emergency responder radio-communications requirements led by Metro and the Southern Nevada Area Communications Council, and updates to smoke-control installation, maintenance and inspection standards.

Committee members asked about outreach to the building industry and business impacts. Cunningham said the city prepared a business-impact statement, that the process began nearly two years ago and has included several stakeholder meetings, and that industry members have voting seats on amendment packages. A councilmember (unnamed in the transcript) urged staff to examine how the city solicits industry feedback, saying repeatedly that notices produced little response. The unnamed councilmember also asked about a possible fee change; Shoop replied that fees had not been increased in 20 years.

Officials noted regional timing: staff told the committee that North Las Vegas had adopted similar codes the prior week, Henderson and the county were proposing adoption the next day, and that adoption by the city would put the jurisdictions \"on the same page.\"

No members of the public spoke during the hearing portion on these items. For each bill in the package the committee moved to approve and the motions passed; each item was recorded to be heard for adoption at the July 16 City Council meeting.

Birney asked the recommending committee on July 14 to hold Bill 2025-28 in abeyance for two weeks so staff could confirm the city's proposed changes align with county language. The bill would amend LVMC Title 11 to address use of electric bicycles and scooters in city parks, change provisions under LVMC Title 13 related to their use, and add penalties for violations.

Birney said she supports the bill but had noted that the county’s language posted online did not match the draft before the committee and requested a two-week delay so staff could verify the texts matched. \"I would be asking for 2 week abeyance just to so that I can be a 100 sure that the bill is the way it's supposed to be written,\" she said.

The chair set the recommending-committee abeyance date for August 4, and members voted to hold the item until that meeting. Staff and law-enforcement representatives were present for the item; no public comment was recorded on this matter.

Next steps: Bill 2025-28 is held in abeyance and will be considered again at the recommending committee meeting on August 4, 2025.

The bill amends Las Vegas Municipal Code section 6.09.0.01 to remove a specific reference to the name of a landlord training program and instead refer to the program in general terms.

Peter Lowenstein, speaking for the record, said the bill \"removes specific reference to the name of the landlord training program no longer used, and leaves the reference in the program in generality.\" City Attorney Jeff Dvorak told the committee the change is technical and reflects that Metro has not used the term \"Las Vegas crime free multi housing program\" for some time; he said Metro is expected to give the program a new name within about a year and the city may return with another update then.

The item was a public hearing; no public commenters spoke on the bill. The committee moved to approve the bill for referral to the City Council; the motion passed.

Next steps: Bill 2025-27 will be heard for adoption by the City Council on July 16, 2025.

","The committee advanced bill 2025-27 to the City Council to remove a specific program name from LVMC 6.09.0.01 and leave the landlord-training requirement generic; staff said the change reflects that Metro no longer uses the previous program name and a future rename by Metro is expected.","actionData","errors"]
