Page 537 Ccityof Carlsbad Exhibit 5 2016 California Building and Fire Code Adoption Summary of Changes BACKGROUND The purpose of the proposed ordinances is the local adoption of the 2016 edition ofthe Building, Fire and other related construction regulations. The following summary highlights the significant proposed changes to the city's construction codes. BUILDING AND FIRE CODE Every three years the State of California by order of the legislature publishes an updated version of construction regulations referred to as the California Building Standards Code. All new commercial and residential buildings must be built in compliance with these standards. The California Building Standards Commission is responsible for developing and publishing these revised standards in collaboration with other state agencies. City and county building departments have been delegated enforcement responsibility by California's legislature. Local jurisdictions may adopt findings for more restrictive building standards reasonably necessary due to specific local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. These are typically referred to as "local amendments". The local amendment findings must be filed with the Building Standards Commission in order to be effective. It should be noted that local jurisdictions may be more restrictive than the State Building Code, but may not be less restrictive. The California Residential Building Code, Part 2.5 of the Building Standards Code, published by the commission in July 2016, and effective in all California cities on January 1, 2017, continues to require all new homes to be protected with an automatic fire sprinkler system regardless of size. The new California Residential code applies only to newly constructed homes and exempts all existing, remodeled, or expanded un-sprinklered homes from the requirement regardless of the proposed use of the new area. The Carlsbad Fire Marshal is recommending continuing the city's existing commercial fire sprinkler code requirements. As recommended, installation of auto-sprinkler systems will not be required for additions to existing unsprinkled commercial buildings unless the aggregate building exceeds the allowable area for unsprinklered buildings prescribed in the California Building Code. In all cases, new commercial buildings that exceed 5,000 square feet will be required to install automatic fire sprinkler systems. This approach is consistent with State law and recognizes the conflict between economic development and expansion of an existing business and the cost of providing additional fire protection. The fire department has evaluated our previous local amendments and determined that in many cases, new model code language found in the Fire Code is now sufficient to meet the needs Page 538 of the fire department. For this reason, the fire department has eliminated many local amendments in an effort to streamline the application of our Fire Code. BUILDING DISABLED ACCESSIBILTY The disabled accessibility provisions of the California Building Code found in Chapter llA and llB contain no significant changes from the previous edition. Accessibility provisions for electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) have been clarified. While van access areas and an accessible path of travel are provided and striped, the charging station is considered a service and the space is not for the exclusive use of disabled persons. CALGreen The Governor of California, as a part of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction policy referred to in AB32, directed the Building Standards Commission to develop standards that enhance the design and construction of buildings through the use of building concepts that have a reduced negative environmental impact. These sustainable construction practices include the following categories: Planning and Design, Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency and Conservation, Material Conservation and Efficiency, and Environmental Quality. The CALGreen code is divided into residential and commercial sections and includes both mandatory and voluntary provisions. The 2016 edition of CALGreen applies to any new residential building or addition. New or non-residential additions of 1000 square feet or greater and building alterations with a permit valuation of $200,000.00 or greater must comply with CALGreen. The CALGreen recycling requirement has been changed from 50% of material to 65% of nonhazardous construction and demolition waste. CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE Carlsbad has been at the forefront in recognizing the need for sustainable development in all areas of building construction and energy conservation practices. The City Council has recently adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP). Staff will be returning to council with enabling ordinances to allow a comprehensive strategy for the implementation of the CAP. It is anticipated that both the CaiGreen and the Energy code will be amended as part of that effort. At the end of this memorandum, "TABLE A" is a summary of the City of Carlsbad's existing sustainability programs arranged by CALGreen Code category with identification of the city agency responsible for implementation of each program. Based on the current level of conservation and environmental programs in Carlsbad and the anticipated adoption of additional CAP-related ordinances, the Carlsbad Building Official is recommending adoption of the CALGreen code as proposed by the State of California, without local amendments at this time. PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, AND MECHANICAL CODES The Building Standards are the official compilation of amendments to the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 and are published in various parts. In addition to Fire, Building and Green Page 539 Building Standards, there are provisions in the code that relate to the safety of the Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical systems installed in buildings. These model codes are written by recognized leading code experts and other members of recognized professional organizations and amended by specific agencies of the State of California. The Carlsbad Building Official is recommending that these parts of the Building Standards be adopted as published without local amendments.
