Oakdale adopts 2025 California Fire Code with local amendments, 4-0
Summary
After a staff presentation and no public comment, the City Council voted 4-0 to adopt the 2025 California Fire Code (Title 24, Part 9) with local amendments and to remove a specified automatic fire extinguishing systems section from the building code.
The Oakdale City Council voted unanimously to adopt the 2025 California Fire Code, with local amendments, and to remove section 7-22 (automatic fire extinguishing systems) from the city’s building code.
City staff explained the triannual requirement to adopt the California building and fire codes and presented the proposed local amendments. Staff characterized this adoption as the required triennial incorporation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 9, and invited council members to ask questions. The council opened a public hearing for comment; no members of the public spoke, and the hearing was closed.
A council member moved to approve the ordinance introduction and adoption action labeled as item 10.1; a second was received and the clerk recorded a 4-0 roll call vote. The council’s action included removing section 7-22 (automatic fire extinguishing systems) from chapter 7 — building code administration and enforcement — as part of the local amendments.
Staff noted that the city must adopt the statewide codes every three years and that this meeting was the council’s opportunity to make any local amendments. No speaker at the meeting raised objections to the proposed adoption.
