requirements.
The 1994 Uniform Building Code was completely reformatted in this edition. This was dor
bring the document into a format consistent with model Codes in other geographic areas o
country. There are few substantive changes to the document since there was a one
moratorium on code change proposals to accommodate the new format revisions. The Buil
Permit Fee section of the 1994 edition of the Code incorporated an approximate 40% incrc
in the building permit and plan check fees. Staff is proposing to not adopt this fee increase
to carry over the fee schedule from the 1991 Codes into this Edition. The building permit
