Planning staff told to pursue analysis on adopting enforceable building code
Summary
Planning staff presented quarterly work and asked for direction to analyze an enforceable building code, request third-party inspection quotes, and set a timeline; the Board directed staff to return with funding information for next steps.
Planning and Development staff updated the Board on permitting and housing programs and sought Board direction on adopting an enforceable building code.
Leanne Harter, P&D Director, reported on new permitting processes, floodplain permits and housing assessments. Marcus Amman, Senior Planner, asked the Board to authorize staff to "pursue additional information on adopting a building code, identify a timeline, and request quotes for third-party inspection services while staff is trained." Chair Murken directed Amman to proceed and to return with funding options and specifics for Board consideration.
Staff will gather cost estimates and a proposed timeline and report back to the Board for a future decision on whether to adopt an enforceable building code and how to staff or contract inspections.
