Staffbegan a quick review of the code known as <br />NFPA 5000 (Building Construction and Safety Code). <br /> <br />The attached adoption ordinance represents some recommended changes to the building code (due to conflicts with <br />local, state or federal regulations) while adopting the Unifonn Plumbing Code (UPC), Unifonn Mechanical Code <br />(UMC) and the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) in their entirety. <br /> <br />In addition, the ordinance also includes adoption of the state mandated International Residential Code (lRC) and <br />International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as well as the previously proposed National Electrical Code (NEC). <br />All of these code books were reviewed by staff during the previous code review process. <br /> <br />As recommended by Council. staff obtained changes proposed by the City of Pasadena and discussed the C3 codes <br />with their personnel. We are recommending, as did the City of Pasadena, that the adoption of the codes include a <br />ninety (90) day effective date to allow contractors, design professional as well as staff an opportunity to make the <br />transition. <br /> <br />A list of the code books recommended for adoption has been compiled and is included with this packet. <br /> <br />Action Reauired bv Council: <br /> <br />Consider authorizing the adoption of the C3 codes and other noted code books, <br /> <br />Aoproved for City Council Ae:enda <br /> <br />dO.Jg;,ul {J;:k~J.t---- <br />De'6ra B.
