File Number: 22-390 A public hearing and second reading are scheduled for November 7, 2022. Concurrent with this proposed ordinance, the Council will consider a resolution adopting findings justifying local amendments based on local climatic, geologic, and topographic conditions. BACKGROUND The California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) is an independent commission within the State Consumer Services Agency responsible for reviewing, adopting, and publishing building standards for the State of California. Every three years, the CBSC adopts a compilation of building regulations referred to as the California Building Standards Code - California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24. On July 1, 2022, the CBSC published the 2022 edition of the California Building Standards Code, which will apply to any project that applies for building permits on or after January 1, 2023. Local governments or jurisdictions can amend the state -adopted building standards to make them more restrictive (not less), based on specific geologic, climatic, and topographic conditions to protect public health, welfare, and safety. Analysis The proposed Ordinance includes adoption of the following building codes by reference: ·California Building Code - CCR Title 24 Part 2 ·California Residential Code - CCR Title 24 Part 3 ·California Electrical Code - CCR Title 24 Part 4 ·California Mechanical Code - CCR Title 24 Part 5 ·California Plumbing Code - CCR Title 24 Part 6 ·California Energy Code - CCR Title 24 Part 7 ·California Fire Code - CCR Title 24 Part 9 ·California Existing Building Code - CCR Title 24 Part 10 ·California Green Building Standards Code - CCR Title 24 Part 11 The Property Maintenance Code is separate from the California Building Code adopted by the CBSC . The City currently has adopted the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code. As part of the proposed ordinance, the City would adopt the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). This model code provides the City authority to abate structures that are imminent hazards to the public in a quick and efficient manner. The model code includes definitions of terms for enforcement, for the integrity of structural elements of buildings, and specific hazards. These definitions are not included in the other standard codes. Approval of the ordinance will ensure consistency of the City of San Leandro ’s Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Historical Building, and Existing Building Codes with state standards and ensure that the City codes provide additional protection for the health, welfare, and safety of local residents required due to local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions.
