CITY OF CARLSBAD - AGENL;A BILL TITLE- -- ADOPTION OF THE 1997 UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, THE 1997 UNIFORM HOUSING CODE, THE 1997 UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE, THE 1997 UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council ADOPT Ordinance No. &S- 476 amending Title 18, Chapter 18.04 of the. Carlsbad Municipal Code; Ordinance No. &- 477 amending Title 18, Chapter 18.06 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, Ordinance No: NS 438 Ordinance amending Title 18, Chapter 18.16 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and No. /v5-419 amending Title 18, Chapter 18.08 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; to adopt by reference the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Building Code, The 1997 Edition of the Uniform Housing Code, the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code, the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code. ITEM EXPLANATION: Staff is proposing adoption of the latest editions of the model codes. These model codes are adopted by the State Building Standards Commission into the State Building Code. Local jurisdictions are required to enforce these regulations as the minimum standards for construction throughout the State. The effective date of these regulations is July 1, 1999. This Council action will bring the City into compliance with the State requirements. The 1997 Uniform Building Code was reformatted in this edition. This was done to bring the document into a format consistent with model Codes in other geographic areas of the country. There are changes to the exiting provisions in this Code to bring the document into compliance with the International Building Codes that are currently being developed for use in the year 2000 Edition. The Building Permit Fee section of the 1997 edition of the Code will not be adopted since fees were set in 1996 concurrent with a fee resolution adopted by City Council at that time. Staff is not proposing fee modifications with this ordinance. Staff is proposing to simplify the administrative provisions of permit expiration section. Staff is proposing that the 1997 Editions of the Uniform Housing Code, the Uniform Plumbing Code and the Uniform Mechanical Code be adopted into the Carlsbad Municipal Code with only prior modifications. No fee increases to plumbing or mechanical permits are proposed by any of these Council actions. FISCAL IMPACT: No fee modifications are proposed by these ordinances. EXHIBITS: 1.

The City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, does ordain as follows: SECTION 1: Whereas, the City of Carlsbad is supplied with water and sewer in certain areas by other entities. It has been necessary in the past to allocate sewer use. Therefore, Chapter 18.04 has altered the Uniform Building Code to require prepaid sewer and water fees (Sections 106.4.1 and 106.4.4). Other amendments are in reference to fire protection. The City of Carlsbad has many large brush-covered hillsides where accessibility for fire fighting equipment and fire prevention t%asures is .limited or impossible. Carlsbad has many open space easements deeded in perpetuity ,and areas of protected natural habitats immediately adjacent to developed areas of the City., Carlsbad has steep natural canyon terrain, and is subject hot, dry, high speed Santa Ana winds on an annual basis. This combination of climactic and topographic conditions creates extreme fire danger. Therefore, Chapter 18.04 has altered the Uniform Building Code to prohibit wood shake and shingle roofs, and require other roofs to be fire retardant, and provide more sprinklered buildings. SECTION 2: That Title 18, chapter 18.04.010 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code is amended to read as follows: 18.04.010 Adooted.

Work shall be presumed to have commenced if the permittee has obtained a required inspection approval of work authorized by the permit by the Building Official within 180 calendar days of the date of permit issuance. Work shall be presumed to be stopped if the permittee has not obtained a required inspection approval of work by the Building Official within each 180 day period upon the initial commencement of work authorized by such permit.-, Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit-shall be .obtained to do so, and the fee therefore shall be one half the amount required for a new permit for such work, and provided that no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work, and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year.

Any permittee holding an unexpired permit may apply for an extension of time within which work may commence under that permit when the permittee is unable to commence work within the time period required by this section for good and satisfactory reasons.

No permit shall be extended more than once. 1. The provisions of any sewer allocation system adopted pursuant to Chapter 18.05 of the Municipal Code shall supersede Section 106.4.4 of the Uniform Building Code if the permit is issued pursuant to such system.
