Council continues first reading of Title 4 ordinance to adopt 2025 California building codes
Summary
Staff introduced an ordinance to adopt the 2025 California building and related codes; public questions about appendices (for the fire code and cul‑de‑sac standards) prompted staff to verify details and continue the item to a future meeting.
City staff introduced an ordinance to update Title 4, Chapter 1 of the municipal code to adopt the 2025 California building code series and related appendices. Staff explained adoption would allow the city to update its building and fire safety standards and take effect in January 2026 if adopted.
During public comment Jose Flores asked whether the city would adopt all appendices of Title 24 or select specific ones (for example, appendices relevant to the fire code such as cul‑de‑sac dimensions). Staff acknowledged the question and said they would confirm which appendices they intend to adopt and would bring the clarified item back to council.
The council voted to continue the ordinance to a future meeting for staff to verify appendices and return with finalized language.
