Summary
Council introduced by title an ordinance to adopt by reference the 2025 editions of California building, residential, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, energy, historical, existing building, and green building codes with local amendments; second reading and adoption are scheduled for Dec. 2.
City staff brought forward an ordinance on Nov. 18 to amend the City of Carson municipal code by adopting the 2025 editions of the California Building Code and related codes, with local amendments. The item was introduced by title only, with full reading waived, and council scheduled a public hearing on Dec. 2 for second reading and possible adoption.
Why it matters: Adopting the 2025 California codes updates the city's standards for construction, safety, energy and historic building treatments and can affect building permit requirements, inspection protocols and compliance costs for local projects.
What happened at the meeting: Councilmember (introducer) presented the ordinance language by title, moved it forward for first reading by title only and council approved the introduction. Staff indicated the ordinance will return for a public hearing and second reading on Dec. 2.
Next steps: The council will consider second reading and formal adoption at the Dec. 2 hearing; staff will post the ordinance language and notice in advance of the hearing.
