Executive Summary: Section 1.8.8 of the 2022 California Building Code and California Health and Safety Code Sections 17920.5 and 17920.6 allow for the creation of a local building appeals board. The proposed ordinance would create a three-member Building Appeals Board to hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions, and determinations by the Building Official and Fire Chief/Fire Marshall. Staff recommends amending Title 15 (Buildings and Construction) and Title 2 (Administration and Finance) to adopt an Ordinance to create a Building Appeals Board to hear appeals related to the Building and Fire Codes. The ordinance would also establish the Planning Commission as the hearing body for post entitlement appeals pursuant to the Housing Accountability Act.
The ordinance was introduced by the City Council at its September 17, 2024 meeting. The ordinance is now before the Council for adoption.
ATTACHMENTS:
• Draft Ordinance - Building Appeals Board
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt an ordinance amending Title 15 and Title 2 to the Fremont Municipal Code.
