Building Official Amy Palmer and Building Plans Examiner Victoria St. Clair provided a PowerPoint presentation that covered the following: 2018 BUILDING AND FIRE CODE ADOPTION AND AMENDMENTS PROPOSED MODEL CODES ADOPTION TIMELINE DEFINITION OF “SUBSTANTIAL STRUCTURAL DAMAGE” CONDITION 1 CONDITION 2 CONDITION 3 COCONINO COUNTY/CITY OF FLAGSTAFF COMPARISON BLOWER DOOR TESTING BENEFITS OF BLOWER DOOR TESTING CONSUMER PROTECTION HISTORY OF BLOWER DOORS IN THE CODE Councilmember Salas stated that she supports having the same City and County codes rather than the City including additional requirements for EV parking and solar ready. Sustainability Manager Nicole Antonopoulos indicated that the discussion on including those elements was financial in nature because there is a cost savings to doing those things up front rather than retrofitting later. Councilmember Salas stated that she would rather those elements be voluntary. Councilmember Whelan noted some of the differences between City and County dwellings and why it makes sense to include those elements in the City code. Councilmember McCarthy agreed and Councilmember Aslan stated that he is excited to see those elements included because retrofitting makes it difficult for people to change behavior. Bobby Eccleston addressed Council expressing his support of the proposed amendments. Councilmember Odegaard asked about the suggested edits from the Arizona Multi-Housing Association regarding snow loads. Ms. Palmer stated that they have been in contact and made some adjustments based on their suggestions. Councilmember Odegaard stated that he had some initial hesitations but he is supportive of the proposed amendments. |
