Subject:
ADOPTION OF 1979 MODEL CODES
Statement of the Platter
At the workshop of January 27, 1981, the fire and building departments
presented for adoption the 1979 Edition of the Uniform Building and
Fire Codes with certain amendments.
At the conclusion of the workshop the Council identified three areas of
concern: Building Permit Fee Schedule, Fire Retardant Roofs and Sprinkler
Systems. Staff was directed to return with more information on these
subjects.
The Building and Finance Departments have together reviewed the fee
schedule proposed in the 1979 Building Code. The attached memorandum
shows the Building Department is in a deficit position for this fiscal
year which will increase in the next fiscal year unless the new fee
schedule is adopted.
Fiscal Impact
Under our present fee structure the Building Department expenditures this
fiscal year will exceed income from fees in the amount of $113,419. If
the fee schedule in the 1979 Building Code is adopted, our data using
80/81 budget figures indicates that revenue may exceed expenditures for
fiscal year 81/82. The excess is estimated to be $11,962, or 1.8% of the
total annual building permit revenue.

DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 1981
TO: CITY MANAGER
FROM: BUILDING OFFICIAL
SUBJECT: THE PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 1979 UNIFORM BUILDING
CODE FEE STRUCTURE
The City Council on January 27, 1981 requested additional data
regarding the proposed increase in building permit and plan check
fees.
Submitted for your review is a full service cost analysis of the
Building Department. This data was prepared in support of proposed
fee increases set forth in the 1979 Building Code.
Prior to commenting on the fiscal aspect it is appropriate to set
forth other factors to aid you in evaluating the proposed increase.
A. Frequency of Fee Adjustment
1. The fees proposed for adoption contained in the 1979
edition of the Uniform Building Code represent the
first increase in published fees since the 1970 edition
of the Uniform Building Code.
2. The recommended fees, if adopted, will remain in force until
the 1982 edition of the Uniform Building Code is adopted.
The fee schedule takes into consideration an average
inflation rate of 15% during the three year span.
3. The building valuations by which fees are assessed are
adjusted each July 1 to reflect increased or decreased
construction costs.
B. Recovery of the Full Cost of Services Delivered
1. The proposed fees are intended to achieve full cost
recovery for the services rendered by the Building
Department. Full cost is defined as the total of:
a. The obvious internal costs within the Department
for salaries and employee benefits and direct
maintenance costs as reflected in the Department
budget.
b. Those costs external to the department, a portion
of which would be paid by applicants, as those
external costs are essential to the delivery of
department services. Some of the obvious external
costs not contained in the department budget are:
- 1 -
(1) Those key city elements providing policy and
management direction as well as support services,
such as City Council, City Manager, City Clerk,
City attorney, Finance Officer, City Treasurer,
Central Services, Purchasing and Personnel.
(2) the more obvious costs associated with office
rent and utilities, office maintenance, telephone,
insurance, postage, cashier services, auditing
and accounting.
C. Service Levels
The current volatility in the construction financing
markets can result in costly penalties to permit
applicants if requests for permits are not processed in
a timely manner by adequate staff who possess a high
degree of Code knowledge. Delays in permit issuance can
result in lost financing and a poor level of plan review
can result in costly delays and changes during construc-
tion in addition to possibly exposing the public to life
safety hazards.
It is essential, if no burden is to be placed on the
city general fund resources, that fees be appropriate
to allow the department to have the resources to deliver
services in a timely, efficient and effective manner
to 'those applicants requesting the services.
The City has achieved an appropriate level of service
delivery, and it would appear prudent to maintain that
service level. Most applicants, given the choice between
lower service levels or higher fees, would opt for the
higher fees as delays in service often are more costly
than the higher fee.
The actual and projected revenues and fees for the Building Depart-
ment are shown on the attached schedules.

Staff is proposing adoption of the Uniform Building Code, 1979 Edition,
the Uniform Housing Code, 1979 Edition, the Uniform Plumbing Code, 1979
Edition, to replace the 1976 similar codes now in effect. This will
bring the city regulations into conform'ty with the state.
It is also proposed to adopt the Uniform Code for the Abatement of
Dangerous Buildings, 1979 Edition, a new code for this city. This code
will help the city protect life, health, property and public safety.
There are two major amendments proposed by staff. Chapter 17, Fire
Retardant Roofing and Chapter 38, Fire Sprinkler Systems.
Staff recommends the adoption or the.1979 fee schedules. Fees have been
increased to offset costs incurred by the department in enforcing state
mandated regulations for the handicapped, energy conservation and permit
issuance.
Fiscal Impact
The Fee schedule in the 1979 Building Code has increased 51 percent over
that of the 1976 Code.
Development impact on fire retardant roof and fire sprinkler system:
Fire retardant medium shakes installed $2.58 square 'foot.
Non -fire retardant shakes $1.34 square foot,
Average cost of fire sprinkler installation
or. a 10,000 square feet office building is $1.67 square foot

MEMORANDUM
DATE: JANUARY 6, 1981
TO: CITY MANAGER O
P�-
FROM: BUILDING OFFICIAL
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF MODEL BUILDING CODES
The following analysis explains various changes to the 1979 Model Codes as
approved by the membership of the International Conference of Building Officials.
The analysis also discusses proposed amendments for the city of Carlsbad. This
is a brief overview of the new codes and only includes changes that I believe
are of direct interest.
UNIFORM BUILDING CODE
Chapter I
Section 104 dealing with the applications to existing building has been
revised. The new provisions are designed to encourage rehabilitation of
existing buildings, Formerly additions or alterations that exceeded a percent-
age of valuation or area would require total building compliance. The new code
allows these modifications as long as the existing portion does not become un-
safe or overloaded.
Section 106 provides more latitude of interpretation to the Building Official
when strict application of the code is impractical or unworkable.
Chapter 2
Provisions of this chapter have been revised to be compatible with recent
court decisions regarding acts of the Building Official such as right of entry,
etc.
Chapter 3
The fees in Table 3A have been revised upward to account for additional
workload such as energy plan checks and inspections and the increased inspection
costs created by the past three years of inflation.
Chapter 16
This chapter contains the most significant change in the new code, the
deletion of fire zones. The fire zone concept was intended to limit construction
and uses so that fire would not spread from building to building over a large
area of the city. In practice, however, fire zones did little to limit fires
since they did not change the condition of existing buildings. Insurance companies
recognize that fire zoning is not effective and no longer assess penalty points
if fire zoning is not applied.
The new code is a blend of former fire zones 2 and 3 requirements. The
� LI
City Manager - 2 - January 6, 1981
code now requires some additional built-in fire protection to offset previcus
fire zone requirements such as additional fire walls, open space areas and
fire retardant roof coverings.
Chapter 17
This chapter is revised to reflect changes sought by the city Fire and
Building Departments. Essentially we are proposing fire retardant roofs on
all buildings that are more than two stories or have more than 3000 square
feet of projected roof area. Class C (Special Purpose Roofs) are limited to
certain occupancies and a total of 6000 square feet.
Chapter 38
This chapter has been revised to require a fire sprinkler system on
all buildings when the aggregate area of all floors exceeds 10,000 squaare.feet
except detached single-family dwellings.
UNIFORM HOUSING CODE
There are no significant changes from the previously adopted 1976 and
the proposed 1979 housing code.
UNIFORM CODE FOR THE ABATEMENT OF DANGEROUS BUILDINGS
This code has never been formally adopted by the city. Staff recommends
its adoption for the following reasons;
1. The dangerous building code is designed to apply to all types of
buildings and structures.
2. The notices, orders and appeal procedures in the code are workable
and enforceable.
3. The provisions of this code will provide the Building Official with
the legal steps to abate dilapidated, defective buildings which endanger life,
health, property and public safety.
UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE
Section 20.7 increases the plumbing code fees to adjust for -the past and
future rate of inflation and higher costs of inspection.
Section 401 permits the Building.Official to allow plastic pipe in
some small commercial or industrial buildings..
