Council takes up ordinances to adopt state building code for new construction
Summary
Councilmember Cam presented ordinances (numbers discussed as 739 and 742) to adopt the state building code for new construction and related fee changes; the item was moved as a motion for adoption.
Councilmember Cam explained proposed ordinances that would adopt the state building code directly for new construction, streamlining local code adoption for permits and inspections. "It adopts the state building code directly without going through..." Cam said, describing the change as applying to new work and indicating the city's mechanism for involving the fire department where appropriate.
Council discussed how prior-issued permits would be treated, the effect on fire-fee assessments and the internal review process (Brian will forward items needing the fire department's involvement). The chair moved the item as a motion to adopt ordinances 739 and 742 for council consideration.
