All jurisdictions in California are required to adopt the California Codes based on the California Code of Regulations, Title 24. The 2010 California Building Codes went into effect statewide on January 1, 2011 and are in effect in all jurisdictions in California as of that date whether adopted by local jurisdictions or not. Local jurisdictions may adopt amended versions of the California codes but only if they are stricter than the base California Codes and such amendments are subsequently approved by the California Building Standards Commission. The 2010 California Green Building Code (CalGreen) is a completely new code. CalGreen will be enforced in conjunction with Culver City's existing mandatory green building program and mandatory solar photovoltaic program. CalGreen primarily focuses on typical green building issues; the two Culver City green programs primarily focus on energy issues. Staff has prepared a guide to application of the 3 green codes, please see attached. In the near future, staff will be revisiting the 2 Culver City green programs with the Culver City sustainable stakeholders group and the City Council Sustainability Subcommittee. FISCAL ANALYSIS: There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting the updated building code regulations. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Proposed Ordinance No. 2011-______ 2.
