Summary
The council introduced ordinances adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Code (with local amendments) and related fire and administrative codes, taking introductory votes on parts A and B and setting item C for a public hearing; motions passed 5-0.
The Ontario City Council moved to introduce a set of ordinances adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Code and related local amendments, voting 5-0 on the introductory motions and setting a public hearing for the remaining item.
The city clerk summarized the package, which incorporates multiple 2025 California code editions (building, mechanical, electrical, energy, plumbing and residential codes), the 2025 California fire code and related local amendments to the Ontario Municipal Code. The clerk noted notice and affidavits of compliance had been filed and that there were no written communications on the item.
City legal staff advised the council on procedural requirements for introduction and first reading: the council took separate votes for items A and B initially, then set item C for a public hearing in accordance with the government code. The motions to introduce the ordinances and to set the public hearing passed unanimously.
The action begins the local adoption process for the updated statewide codes with certain local amendments; the council will consider the related ordinance on final reading after the public hearing required under state law.
