Commission hears update on proposed R327 fire-hardening standards for new construction
Summary
City staff told the commission they are preparing an ordinance to adopt R327 fire-hardening standards that include siding material requirements and screened attic spaces; staff said adoption is not expected to materially increase new-construction costs.
Community Development Director Brent Bybee briefed the commission on R327 fire-hardening standards under consideration. Bybee described key components being evaluated, including requirements for siding materials and properly screened attic spaces, and said the City Council has expressed support for pursuing an ordinance.
Bybee stated staff believe the standards would not significantly affect costs for new development; he said staff are moving forward with ordinance preparation but did not present a draft ordinance or adoption schedule at this meeting.
