NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego will hold a public hearing on An Ordinance for the triennial County Building Code updates which includes the following proposed Ordinance:

“An Ordinance Repealing and Reenacting the County Building, Residential, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Energy Efficiency, Green Building Codes, and an Ordinance Amending the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, and Related CEQA Exemption (Triennial County Building Code UpdateS)”

HEARING INFORMATION:

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Date:                      February 11, 2026

Time:                      9:00 A.M. (at or after)

Location:              County Administration Center, Room 310, 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION:   Triennial County Building Code Update: An Ordinance Repealing and Reenacting the County Building, Residential, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Green and Energy Codes as a part of the State mandated triennial adoptions of State Model Code updates. The recommended changes include all previous County’s Local Amendments. This update also includes the introduction and adoption by ordinance of minor edits to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinances (FDMP) to implement Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) recommendations related to engineering review and freeboard requirements, and adopts appendices I and H of the California Building Standards Code.

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE: The project entails the State-mandated triennial repealing and reenacting County Building Codes, along with the adoption of Local Amendments to the California Building Standards Code that are determined to be reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. California Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5 allows the County to amend the California Building Standards Code if the provisions established by such Local Amendments meet or exceed the state standards.

The majority of the County’s Local Amendments to state building standards in the proposed ordinance are identical to, or minor clarifications of, Local Amendments in past ordinances previously approved by the Board. The proposed ordinance contains administrative provisions enabling the County to carry out the Board's direction, intent, and purpose regarding construction codes. The proposed ordinances includes introduction and adoption of minor edits to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinances (FDMP) to implement Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) recommendations related to engineering review and freeboard requirements.

The proposed ordinance includes all prior additions, deletions, and modifications to state standards that have been determined to be reasonably necessary because of the County’s climatic, geological, and topographical conditions. California Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5 allows the County to amend the California Building Standards Code if the provisions established by such Local Amendments meet or exceed the state standards. Additionally, this code update request includes the option to update the Green Building Incentive Program to provide permitting incentives for projects that volunteer to go beyond State code requirements under water, recycle content, and energy conservation to support implementation of the 2024 Climate Action Plan goals.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:  The project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this project may have a significant effect on the environment, because the proposed adoption and amendments do not result in any physical changes to the environment. As described above, the measures add requirements for buildings above what is required by the state code.

Therefore, the commonsense exemption (Section 15061(b)(3)) applies as there is no possibility for the adoption of these measures to result in physical impacts on the environment.

This exemption is to be filled in only upon formal project approval by the appropriate County of San Diego decision-making body.

GENERAL INFORMATION: This public hearing is accessible to individuals with disabilities.  If interpreter services for the hearing impaired are needed, please call the Americans With Disabilities Coordinator at (619) 531-5205 or California Relay Service, if notifying by TDD, no later than seven days prior to the date of the hearing.

If you challenge the Board’s action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at a public hearing, or in written correspondence delivered to the Hearing Body at or before the hearing.  Rules of the Hearing Body may limit or impose requirements on the submittal of such written correspondence. 

A copy of the full text of the ordinance is posted at the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Room 402 of County Administration Center.

For additional information regarding this proposal, contact Dennis Howe, Building Chief, at (858) 694-3075.
