Staff briefs board on building-code updates and wildfire-resiliency code adoption timeline
Summary
Staff updated the advisory board on progress toward adopting the 2024 International Residential and Building Codes and a model low-energy carbon code, and discussed the wildfire-resiliency code adoption process and state-level deadline extensions.
Staff reported that the planning commission had advanced a text amendment and that the first reading of a building-code ordinance will be scheduled before the town council on April 8. The package discussed includes adoption of the 2024 International Residential and Building Codes and a model low-energy/carbon energy code along with amendments the town may consider.
The discussion included wildfire resiliency code work: staff described statewide efforts and said the town is finishing local amendments; staff also noted that many communities have not yet met a state-set adoption date and that a legislative extension had been discussed to move the deadline out by a year. Members urged continued outreach and contractor training tied to the code updates.
Staff asked the board to treat the materials as part of an information and outreach effort rather than a final regulatory step and offered to return with training dates and additional community engagement materials.
