Subject: Ordinances adopting the various 2007 California building codes and their administrative
provisions
Submitted By: Assistant Directorof Planning and BuiltlinglBuilding CKcial
Fire Chief
The California Building Standards Commission has mandated that jurisdictions within the State start
ember the 2007 Editions of the CalAornia building codes on January 1, 2008 The adoption of California
building codes is a routine action undertaken by the City in response to newly State adapted building
codes. This action will allow the City to incomorate appropriate local amendments into the enforcement
program.
RFPOMMFNnATON Recommend to City Council the adoption of the various 2007 Editions of the
California building codes,
n cr cc Ow As mandated by the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC), lutlsdbtlons within
The State shall begin enforcing Me 2007 Editions of the California building codes on January 1, 2008.
Traditionally, the State adopts and amends updated codes every three years. Due to actions taken by the
CBSC during prior adoption cycles, the State continued adopting the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC)
as the base code for the CalAomie Building Code (CBC), Including the current 2001 CBC. The 1997 UBC
has not been modified since 1996. All of the reference standards in that code are outdated. During this
adoption cycle, the CBSC adopted the 2006 International Building Code (IBC) as the base code for the
2007 CBC. The 2007 CBC is significantly different than the current 2001 CBC and in many cases the
updates to the reference standards involve major changes in structural and fire resistance design
practices. Code enforcement personnel, design professionals and others involved in the building
construction industry will have to became familiar with different wind, seismic and materiel design
standards that are three additions mom recent This will require a considerable amount of training for staff
and the Industry. It Is estimated to take 30% more time to plan review a pop ect under the 2007 CBC than
the current code. Furthermore, jurisdictions and the industry will have to purchase a considerable number
of design standards that are referenced in the 2007 CDC.
In addition, and for the purpose of compatibility with the 2006 IBC, the CBSC adapted the 2006
International Fire Code (IFC) as the base code for the 2007 California Fire Code (CFC), which Is also
significantly different than prior fire codes enforced in California,
As for the remaining codes, they are based on recent editions of prior base codes adopted by the State,
Proposed Municipal Code Chapter 1506: The previsions of Chapter 1506 serve as ate administrative,
organizational and enforcement miss and regulations forthe following technical building codes'.

The 2007 California Building Code

The above noted codes are developed by different organizations; the Building Code is developed by the
International Code Council, the Plumbing and Mechanical Codes are developed by the International
Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, and the Electrical Code is developed by the National
Fire Protection Association. The administrative provisions within these codes are similar with few
differences that need to be amended in order to establish consistency within each other and with existing
provisions contained in the Municipal Code. Chapter 15.06 consolidates the administrative provisions of
He above noted codes and incorporates local administrative provisions. Having one set of provisions
facilitates the administration of the codes and future code adoptions. Most of the local amendments to the
adopted codes are amendments to administrative provisions that are within each code. Having the
provisions consolidated under one chapter radiates, and in some cases, eliminates local amendments.
The administrative provisions In the Fire Code are different from the codes noted above, and therefore, the
provisions of Chapter 15.06 do not apply 0 Ne Fire Code.
Jurisdictions within San Diego County have met collectively to discuss suggested amendments to the
codes during monthly meetings of the San Diego Area Chapter of the International Code Council. As such,
this process recognizes and promotes code uniformity throughout the jurisdictions within the County
creating a positive professional environment among all code users,
