ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE WORK PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
Approve an amendment to the August – December 2022 Community and Economic Development Committee Work Plan to add the following item to the September 26, 2022, meeting:
2022 California Building Standards Code Adoption Status Report.
Purpose: Provide a status report on the proposed ordinance changes related to the adoption of the 2022 California Building Standards Code and amendment to Title 24 of the San José Municipal Code.
(Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement/Fire)
BACKGROUND
The California Building Standards Commission publishes triennial editions of the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, also known as the California Building Standards Code. On July 1, 2022, the California Building Standards Commission published the 2022 edition of the California Building Standards Code. The 2022 California Building Standards Code will apply to any building or structure for which an application for a building permit is made on or after January 1, 2023. The State of California allows local municipalities to modify the state-adopted building standards to make them more restrictive (not less), provided certain express findings are made that the proposed modifications are necessary due to special local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions that can affect the heath, welfare, and safety of local residents.
