Title
Discussion on proposed amendments to the ICC Building Codes.
Staff Summary
• In February, staff presented to the Committee a series of amendments to the ICC Building Codes.
• Following discussion, the Committee reached consensus to adopt the code updates with the inclusion of residential fire sprinkler requirements.
• To assist the Committee with finalizing the County’s specific approach to sprinkler regulation, staff was directed to conduct additional research on regulatory options (taking into account area-wide regulatory trends). Following completion of this research, staff was directed to report back to the Committee on its findings.
• At the May 3, 2023, Committee meeting, staff will present its findings and seek direction from the Committee in preparing revised amendments for the Committee’s final action.
