PUBLIC HEARING
13. 2022 California Building Code Regulations Ordinance On July 1, 2022, the California Building Standards Commission published the 2022 California Building Standards Code ("2022 Code"). The Code is codified in the California Building Code of Regulations, Title 24, Parts 1-12, which includes the California Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Residential, Energy, Historical, Existing Building, Reference Standards Codes and 10/27/2022 11:57 AMP:\Clerk\1 Agendas\2022\18 November 8, 2022\1 Action Minutes October 11 2022 TC90.doc 3 2021 International Property Maintenance Code (Building Codes). Revisions to the 2022 Code are the result of a triennial adoption cycle undertaken by the State Building Standards Commission and the International Code Council. The 2022 Code will become effective on January 1, 2023. Under Health and Safety Code section 17922, every City, Town and County throughout the state is required to adopt the California Building Standards Code but has the opportunity to adopt the codes with amendments based on local geological, topographical and/or climatic conditions after changes to the California Building Standards Code are published. Given the scrutiny of both national and state code professionals that went into the revisions encompassed in the 2022 Code, adoption of the 2022 Code will provide the Town of Loomis with the current minimum standards to safeguard property and the public welfare.

15. COMPLIANCE WITH SURPLUS LAND ACT FOR 3800 TAYLOR ROAD DEVELOPMENT The Town Council previously provided direction to Staff to begin the process of potentially selling several Town-owned properties. Of those properties, the WW Moulding Plant property on Taylor Road has been a particular focus. The Town released a previous RFP for the redevelopment of the property and in late 2019 entered into a purchase and sale agreement with High Hand and Loomis Basin Brewery. That agreement fell through, however. A second RFP was released in June 2021, with one proposal received. The Town began negotiations with the proposer in October 2021; however, those negotiations fell through. 10/27/2022 11:57 AMP:\Clerk\1 Agendas\2022\18 November 8, 2022\1 Action Minutes October 11 2022 TC90.doc 4 There has again been considerable interest in the property. Council directed staff to bring back a new RFP when the Strategic Plan Update was approved in May, 2022.
Since that time, the City Attorney has informed Town Council that state law regarding the sale of property not needed for Town purposes has been revised. Now, prior to selling any Townowned properties, the Town Council must comply with the requirements of the Surplus Land Act.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the Town Council adopt Resolution ____ declaring the WW Moulding Plant property at 3800 Taylor Road as surplus to commence the process of complying with the Surplus Land Act (SLA) prior to selling or leasing the property. (Government Code § 54220 et seq.) PUBLIC COMMENT:
Dave Dalli – Delmar: Spoke against affordable housing at this location, stated it would e better used as a Fire Station.
David Ring – Delmar: Asked if this use would need to adhere to current zoning codes.
Miguel Ucovich- Craig Court: Inquired if this project was developed as affordable housing, would it count towards our RHYNA numbers.
Motion to move recommended action: Baker 2
