Commission votes to continue AB078 on signs and awnings for structural committee review
Summary
The commission continued administrative bulletin AB078 (criteria for waiving special inspection requirements for signs and awnings) to allow structural committee review after members raised concerns about potential cost burdens on small homeowners and businesses; Commissioner Murphy made the motion and the roll-call vote carried.
Commissioners voted to continue consideration of administrative bulletin AB078, which would set criteria for waiving special inspection requirements for signs and awnings.
Staff said AB078 was originally written in February 2003 to reduce the cost barrier of special inspections for small awning and sign jobs; the goal is to balance hazard protection with permitting practicality for small businesses and homeowners. The presenter told the commission the item should return to the structural committee for additional review and clearer plan-check guidance.
Commissioner Murphy moved to continue the item until after the structural committee reviews it. The commission then took a roll-call vote and the motion passed; the roll call as recorded in the minutes shows the motion carried with affirmative votes recorded for President Hedgenova, Vice President Mark, Commissioner Clint and Commissioner Murphy.
Commissioners and staff asked the structural committee to consider separate rules for residential and commercial cases and to produce clearer checklists so plan checkers have consistent criteria.
