DATE ATTACHMENTS 06/20/16 Informational Memorandum dated 6/13/16 Ordinance in Draft Form Minutes from the June 13, 2016 Community Affairs and Parks Committee meeting 21 22 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Affairs and Parks FROM: Jack Pace, Director of the Department of Community Development BY: Jerry E Hight, Building Official CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: June 13, 2016 SUBJECT: Adoption of the 2015 State Building Codes ISSUE The State Building Code Council has adopted the 2015 Washington State Building Code with a statewide effective date of July 1, 2016. Shall the City Council approve the adoption of the 2015 State Building Code in Tukwila? We will not be making extensive changes to the new 2015 State Building Codes. Permit fees will be reviewed later this fall. BACKGROUND The State Building Code Council was created to advise the legislature on building code issues and developed the building codes used in the state of Washington. In the course of development of the State Building Code the Council holds public hearings, considers proposed state amendments and finally adopts the international model codes and amendments. This occurs on a three-year cycle. The following 2015 editions of the model codes make up the referenced State Building Code: •International Building Code with statewide amendments •ICC/ANSI A117.1 -09, Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities, with statewide amendments •International Residential Code with statewide amendments •International Mechanical Code with statewide amendments •International Fuel Gas Code with statewide amendments (part of the IMC adoption) •2014 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code (NFPA 58) -National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54) (for LIP Gas installation only) •Uniform Plumbing Code with statewide amendments -International Energy Conservation Code/Washington State Energy Code •International Existing Building Code with statewide amendments found in the IBC •International Swimming Pool and Spa code DISCUSSION Adoption of 2015 State Building Codes is necessary to enable legal enforcement of the new codes within the City. The building industry, contractors, designers, developers, etcetera, depend on statewide uniformity in the codes that impact their businesses. More importantly, the citizens of Tukwila deserve to know that the built environment that they live, work and play in are designed with the latest health, fire and life safety measures. With this adoption, there are currently a few minor housekeeping issues we are asking council to consider as follows: I. Work exempt from permit section 105.2 of the International Building Code and International Residential Code. 23 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 a. The Residential Code and the Building Code have different size exemptions for one -story detached accessory structures. The Building Code allowed 120 sq. ft. and the Residential Code allowed 200 square feet. For consistency, we are recommending alignment with both codes to reflect a maximum 120 sq. ft. The 120 sq. ft. figure has been the maximum size for many code cycles. b. The Residential Code and the Building Code, allows an exemption for fences not over 7 feet in height. We are recommending fences not over 6 feet in height. II. 16.04.250 Procedures applicable to all construction permits: E. Expiration of Permits. (revised) Previously the code stated, "The Building Official may grant one or more extensions..." It has been revised to state, "The Building Official may grant a maximum of two extensions for periods not more than 180 days each." Projects will still be required to request progressive inspections (every 180 days) or expire by limitation after two extensions. F. Expired Permit Final. (deleted) The verbiage within the current section has been revised to clarify the intent of reactivating a permit for final. An example of the intent of this section is for an owner who's contractor does not call for final inspection of a rooftop HVAC unit replacement. Providing a means for a final inspection allows us to address any safety issues. The new verbiage clarifies how and when a permit can be reactivated for final inspection and is as follows: [New] F. Reactivating Expired Permit for Final. Expired permits that have completed the inspection process and need only final inspection approval may be reactivated. Reactivation shall require a new permit application and fee per Expired Permit Final on the most current permit fee resolution. The Building Official may grant one thirty (30) day extension to an expired permit for the purpose of performing a final inspection and closing out the permit as long as not more than ninety (90) days has passed since the permit expired. Provided no changes have been made or will be made in the plans or scope of work, the thirty (30) day extension commences on the date of written approval. If work required under a final inspection is not completed within the thirty (30) day extension period, the permit shall expire. III. Notable code changes /clarifications: a. The 2015 Mechanical Code: This code includes multiple codes such as the adoption of and amendments to the following codes: - 2015 International Fuel Gas Code - 2015 National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54) - 2014 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code (NFPA 58) b. International Building Code Existing Buildings Chapter 34: Previously the International Building Code provided us with guidance to control the alteration, repair, addition and change of occupancy of existing buildings and structures through Chapter 34 "Existing Buildings." The International Code Council (ICC) deleted Chapter 34 "Existing Buildings" and provided us with the International Existing Building Code with statewide amendments. c. International Residential Code Appendix G: Appendix G, "Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs," was previously included in the adoption of the International Residential Code. Appendix G has been replaced with the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. d. Washington State Energy Code: The State adopted, revised and renamed the International Energy Conservation Code IECC to become the 2015 Washington State Energy Code. 24 C:\ Users \Jerry- H \Documents\2016\2015 State Building Code Adoption\2015 State Building Codes InfoMemo.docx INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 FINANCIAL IMPACT Implementation of the new code will not have a negative effect on the current 2015/2016 Budget.
