Discussion over 2018 Building Code Adoption process.

 

Body

Issue/Request:

Discussion over 2018 Building Code Adoption process.

 

Key Issues:

The 2018 International Code Council family of model building codes has been released.  Committees have been formed to review the code provisions to determine their impact and applicability for our community. 

 

 

Background:

The City of Lee's Summit has currently adopted the 2012 International Code Council family of model building codes.  It has been past practice to review the new version of the buildings codes on a six (6) year cycle.  The review process includes a chapter by chapter discussion with members of the building and design community.  These discussions allow multiple considerations to be taken into account when adopting new codes. 

 

Timeline:

A timeline of the process is attached to this packet.
