Consultation has concluded
The Development Services Department (DSD) is proposing adoption of an amendment to the Building Criteria Manual (BCM) in the 2nd quarter of 2022. The proposed amendment references the 2021 Technical Codes in current rules and adds a new section with access to previous Codes and adoption dates.
Update language to increase accessibility to the City Clerk's website and see what Code applies to a certain building or project. The section details adoption dates for current and past Codes used by the City.
Provide information and adoption dates for current and past Codes to simplify access and make it easier to determine what updates are required to ensure a building or project aligns with applicable Code language.
Provide City Departments a central location to assist citizens with questions related to Code requirements when updates are required or considered.
