Building Official Joaquin Campa introduced to City Council this item at the Work Session on February 6, 2019.

The City of San Luis adopted its current set of building codes on April 4, 2010.  The International Code Council for building standards and the National Fire Protection Association for the National Electrical Code and Fire Code publish updated editions of the codes every three (3) years.

The recent codes offer updated materials and procedures for the built environment.  The nationally published codes are amended to fit our regional and local conditions, such as soils, ambients temperatures, and seismic considerations.

The ordinance updates codes the City of San Luis has already adopted along with the amendments that Yuma County and the City of Yuma have adopted.  The ordinance adds two (2) codes the City of San Luis has not had in its code before:

(1) the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code and
(2) the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code.

The ordinance provides that July 15, 2019, will be the effective date to give builders and developers time to adjust.  Here is a table of the current codes and the codes that will be adopted and amended with this ordinance:
