AMENDMENTS.
RECOMMENDATION:
a. Open and hold the Public Hearing
b. Close the Public Hearing
c. Direct the Clerk to read title
d. Waive the reading
e. Move to adopt ordinance introducing the 2001 California model codes as amended
f. Instruct the Clerk to publish ordinance within 15 days after adoption
DISCUSSION:
Building codes play a critical role in the safety and welfare of all people living under the
administration of cities and counties throughout the country. Today nearly all local building codes
are based on existing model codes. The State of California adopts the model codes as published by
International Council of Building Officials (ICBO) and amendments, if any, to insure uniformity of
code requirements throughout the cities and counties of California. The Town of Los Gatos
administers the enforcement of building codes consistent with those adopted by the State of
California. This adoption procedure is required every three years by the State and local
municipalities. Since the Town adopts these building codes pursuant to State action, we are
required, at this time, to adopt the codes as amended for another three year period.
California law grants authority to adopt and enforce building regulations to fourteen State
departments, who adopt by reference or with amendments, the codes published by ICBO. These

codes include, the Uniform Building Code, the Uniform Housing Code, the Uniform Mechanical
Code, the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, and the Uniform Code for
Building Conservation. Two codes currently adopted by the State that are not published by ICBO
are: National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection Agency and the Uniform
Plumbing Code published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials.
There were five amendments that were adopted by the Town. Each of these amendments are to delete
code sections and were merely to eliminate redundancy in the Building Codes. The deleted code
sections are listed below:
Section 6.30.015 is deleted and relates to single room occupancies
Section 6.30.030 is deleted and relates to foundation footings
Section 6.30.035 is deleted and relates to reinforcing foundations
Section 6.30.040 is deleted and relates to foundation slabs

followed.
