Adoption of an Ordinance Amending RMC 15.08, Building Code, 15.12 Electrical Code, 15.14 Mechanical Code, 15.16 Plumbing Code, 15.18 Energy Code, and 15.26 Wildland-Urban Interface Code
a. Ordinance No. 3148: An Ordinance of the City of Redmond, Washington, Amending RMC Chapters 15.08, Building Code; 15.12, Electrical Code; 15.14, Mechanical Code; 15.16, Plumbing Code; 15.18, Energy Code, and Adding 15.26, Wildland-Urban Interface Code, to Update the City's Building and Construction Codes to Reflect Current State Standards
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City is required to align its codes and regulations with the latest editions and technical standards mandated in the State Building, Electrical, Energy, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Wildland-Urban Interface Codes. Optional appendices are also available for contemporaneous adoption at the City's discretion. Updates occur on a three-year cycle and generally go into effect on July 1. Actions by the State Building Code Council (SBCC) delayed the effective date of this adoption, with the anticipated date to be March 15, 2024. The Electrical Code is typically adopted one year after the Building, Energy, Mechanical and Plumbing Codes. Due to the State delay of these codes, the Electrical Code is anticipated to be adopted April 1, 2024.
