RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Staff requests Council adopt an urgency ordinance amending Title 16 of the Roseville Municipal Code, which prescribes regulations governing building standards and conditions hazardous to life and property, and declaring the ordinance to be effective December 21, 2022 as an urgency ordinance. Staff further recommends that the City Council repeal Ordinance Nos. 6571 and 6572, adopted on December 7, 2022.
| BACKGROUND
On December 7, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6571 and Ordinance 6572. The purpose of both ordinances was to amend Title 16 of the Roseville Municipal Code to adopt the 2022 California Building Standards Code and 2022 Fire Code. Ordinance No. 6571 and 6572 made identical changes to Title 16 of the Roseville Municipal Code, and the reason both ordinances were adopted was to ensure that certain local amendments were adopted before January 1, 2023, when the updated California Building Standards Code and Fire Code become the default rules for building matters if local amendments are not otherwise adopted.
As a condition to implementing any local amendments to the California Building Standards Code and Fire Code, the City is required to include all such amendments in its ordinance and to submit such ordinance with the local amendments to the California Building Standards Commission for review and approval. The Commission requires that the ordinance and local amendments be submitted in a particular format. To ensure that the ordinance incorporating the 2022 California Building Standards Code and California Fire Code and the City’s local amendments thereto are adopted prior to January 1, 2023, and to ensure the City’s ordinance is consistent with the Commission’s formatting requirements, it is recommended that the City Council adopt an urgency ordinance clearly delineating all local amendments to be adopted in the Roseville Municipal Code. Such urgency ordinance will be effective immediately. It is also recommended that the City Council repeal Ordinance Nos. 6571 and 6572, as they are no longer necessary.
| FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact on the City includes new code resources and staff training on the updated Building Code Standards. These costs have been accounted for within the current budgets of both the Fire Department and the Development Services Department.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment or is otherwise not considered a project as defined by CEQA Statute §21065 and CEQA State Guidelines §15060(c)(3) and §15378. Adoption of the Building Standards Code meets the above criteria and is not subject to CEQA. No additional environmental review is required.
