PUBLIC HEARING - 2025 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE ADOPTION

WITH AMENDMENTS

BACKGROUND: Every three years the State of California updates the

California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (CCR-T24) including its

thirteen-component building and safety codes (collectively, the

California Building Standards Code). Through the State code adoption

cycle, the State of California adopts and publishes amendments to

national model codes and updates codes specific to California. Such

model codes with State amendments and California specific codes go

into effect in every city and county in the State of California 180 days

after publication. The new California Building Standards (CCR-T24)

was published on July 1, 2025 and will take effect on January 1, 2026.

Similarly, every three years the International Code Council updates the

International Property Maintenance Code with the most recent update

occurring in 2024. Adoption of the International Property Maintenance

Code is at the discretion of the local agency. In addition. The Health

and Safety Code allows local jurisdictions to change or modify the State

adopted model codes based on local geologic, climatic, or topographic

conditions. The Planning and Economic Development Department is

requesting adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Code as

well as the updated 2024 International Property Maintenance Code,

with certain local amendments and administrative changes.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Economic Development

Department recommends that the Council adopt an ordinance entitled:

Ordinance of the City of Santa Rosa adopting by reference, with local

amendments, the 2025 California Administrative Code, 2025 California

Building Code, 2025 California Residential Code, 2025 California Green

Building Standards Code, 2025 California Electrical Code, 2025

California Mechanical Code, 2025 California Plumbing Code, 2025

California Energy Code, 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface

Code, 2025 California Historical Building Code, 2025 California Existing

Building Code, 2025 California Referenced Standards Code, 2024

International Property Maintenance Code, and the National Pollutant

Discharge Elimination Permit and Waste Discharge Requirements. This

ordinance, introduced at the December 16, 2025, Regular Meeting,

passed by a 7-0-0-0 vote. This item has no impact on current fiscal year

budget.
