Subject:
Final Adoption of Ordinance No. 4994 Amending The Code of The City of Chandler, Chapter 28, Fire Prevention, By Repealing and Replacing Chapter 28 in its Entirety; Providing for the Repeal of Conflicting Ordinances; and Providing for Severability and Establishing an Effective Date
Proposed Motion:
Move that City Council approve final adoption of Ordinance No. 4994 amending Chapter 28 of the Code of the City of Chandler, by repealing and replacing Chapter 28 in its entirety, and adopting the 2021 edition of the International Fire Code with local amendments.
Background:
The City of Chandler adopts model codes, with some local amendments, to govern construction, remodeling, renovation and maintenance of structures within the City. These codes provide a base level of safety for the occupants of buildings constructed in the City of Chandler.
The model codes are developed and published by the International Code Council (ICC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and are adopted by most jurisdictions in the United States of America and internationally. These codes are developed in a public process that includes the participation of many technical experts, regulators, and affected organizations. The codes are updated continuously through committees and public hearings to keep abreast of research on building performance and advances in technology. New editions are published on a three-year cycle and the City previously adopted its current versions of the ICC and NFPA codes in 2018.
The 2021 code updates reflect advances in building safety technology and conformance with State regulations. Details are contained in the attached summary of changes.
This ordinance was introduced and tentatively adopted at the February 10, 2022, City Council meeting.
Discussion:
Staff recommends City Council approve final adoption of Ordinance No. 4994; originally introduced before City Council on February 7, 2022, amending Chapter 28 of the Code of the City of Chandler, by repealing and replacing Chapter 28 in its entirety, and adopting the 2021 edition of the International Fire Code with local amendments.
