Placentia Council adopts building and fire code updates, approves consent items
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance O-2025-11 to update local building and fire codes to match 2025 state model codes with local amendments and approved the consent calendar, including item 1g (approved 4–1 after discussion).
The Placentia City Council voted unanimously on Nov. 18 to adopt Ordinance O‑2025‑11, a local update to the city’s building and fire codes that staff said aligns local regulations with the 2025 California Building Standards Code while preserving locally adopted amendments. Senior staff recommended the council receive the report, take public testimony, find the actions exempt from CEQA where applicable, waive full reading and adopt the ordinance; no public testimony was offered on the item and the council approved the ordinance by a 5‑yes voice vote.
Earlier in the meeting the council handled the consent calendar. One consent item (1g) was pulled for discussion; after debate the council approved the remaining consent items and then voted on item 1g separately. The record shows the consent motion for the remaining items carried (a 5‑yes vote was recorded for that motion) and item 1g passed on roll call by a vote of 4 yes, 1 no (Mayor Pro Tem Vanka recorded the lone no vote). No further details about item 1g were discussed on the record in the meeting minutes segment.
Staff had explained that the state updates are adopted every three years by the California Building Standards Commission and that local governments may make limited amendments; the staff analysis and the ordinance package were provided to the council and are part of the public record. The council concluded its regular agenda with announcements and adjourned to its next meeting.
