INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Adoption of the 2009 State Building Codes
ISSUE
The State Building Code Council has adopted the 2009 State Building Code and amendments
thereto, effective throughout the state on July 1, 2010. The State Building Codes, local
amendments thereto and the administrative rules of the codes must be adopted by ordinance to
be enforceable within the Tukwila jurisdiction. Shall the council approve an ordinance to adopt
the 2009 State Building Code with local amendments?
BACKGROUND
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The State Building Code Council has adopted the model codes published by the International
Code Council, Inc., the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, and the
National Fire Protection Association. The following are the seven model codes that are included
in the State Building Code and are administered by Building Division:
International Building Code.
International Residential Code.
International Mechanical Code.
International Property Maintenance Code
Uniform Plumbing Code
Washington State Energy Code
Washington Cities Electrical Code
There is a national code change process of the model codes that takes place during a three
year cycle. Once this process is completed and the new code editions are published, the State
Building Code Council commences their State wide process of public hearings.
Subsequent to this process the State Building Code Council publishes their adopted rules and
amendments to the model codes. The lengthy process leaves the state wide effective date one
year later than the code edition. Due to the many changes that have occurred in the model
codes, the State Building Code Council was further delayed in publishing their amendments to
the State Building Code. This affected the time frame for presenting an adopting ordinance to
the City council and therefore the effective date in Tukwila is now extended beyond the State
effective date of July 1, 2010.

DISCUSSION
The International Building Code and the International Residential Building Codes were subject
to more changes than in the previous two code cycles. Changes of note are the provisions for
high rise buildings, a new occupancy class of ambulatory health care facilities, and a most
controversial requirement for mandatory fire sprinkler systems in all new one and two family
dwellings and townhouses.
The State Building Code Council placed the requirement for residential fire sprinklers in an
appendix to the International Residential Code. By this action each jurisdiction will determine if
mandatory residential fire sprinkler systems are appropriate for their jurisdictions.
Implementation of this requirement will require specific adoption of this appendix. Further study
is warranted and therefore adoption of this requirement is not included in this ordinance.
The adopting ordinance proposes two local amendments to the State Building Code.
1. An amendment to the permit fee schedule. Damage from flooding or other natural disasters
creates the problem of getting damage repair under way as soon as possible. This is imperative
for any recovery process to be successful. However, the work must be done under proper
building permits and with the required inspections.
As part of our recovery planning we have established an over the counter repair permit for one
and two family dwellings. A nominal fee of $20.00 is proposed. In this manner the permit is
made valid by payment of a permit fee, and the state mandated $4.50 (per building permit) is
included in this collection.
2. The amended language and additions to IBC Section 105.2 (Work exempt from permits)
includes three items: The first clarifies when work in Tukwila and State right -of- ways will
require building permits, see draft ordinance Section 16.04.20, 1, c, (I) The second clarifies the
definition of an accessory structure and supplements the conditions of this definition, see draft
ordinance Section 16.04.20, 1,c, (II), and the third exempts decks that are not greater than 30
inches above grade plane. The third is actually an addition to the list of construction exempt
from a building permit
The language to adopt the 2009 Edition of the model codes and the two amendments described
herein are the summary of changes to TMC Chapter 16.04. Due to an emergency order
requested by the Governor, the new State Energy Code will not be adopted herein.
Implementation of the new energy code has been postponed immediately until October 29,
2010 and perhaps an additional postponement until 2011. The current 2006 edition of the
energy code will continue to be enforced until such time as the State Building Code Council
decides on an implementation date for the new energy code. The strike outs in the fee
schedules are updates to the schedules that show increases that were previously approved by
council.
RECOMMENDATION
The Committee is being asked to approve the adopting ordinance with local amendments and
forward it to the July 12, 2010 Committee of the Whole meeting for consideration and
subsequent July 19, 2010 regular meeting.
