SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1435 Every three years, the State of California Building Standards Commission selects and adopts new construction regulations substantially based on nationally published model codes (although some codes /regulations have not been updated by the State as noted below). Collectively, these State regulations are known as the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24, Building Standards Code. State law requires the 2013 California Building Standards Code to apply to all cities within California effective January 1, 2014. However, the State of California's Health and Safety Code permits local governments to adopt amendments to the California Building Standards Code with appropriate findings that are based upon local climactic, geological or topographical conditions that exist within their communities. In addition, each adoption cycle the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and City staff work together to recommend certain amendments to the State Building Standards Code that are necessary to address local conditions in the City of Tustin. City Council approval of Ordinance No. 1435 would adopt the 2013 Building Standards Code with Appendices and supplemental regulations and approve the amendments recommended by the OCFA and City staff.

ORDINANCE NO. 1439, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN ADDING SECTION 2518 TO ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 6, PART 2 OF THE TUSTIN CITY CODE TO EXEMPT REAL ESTATE AGENTS FROM BUSINESS LICENSE REQUIREMENTS At the City Council's November 19, 2013 meeting, the City Council directed staff to bring back modifications to the Tustin Municipal code exempting real estate agents from business license requirements. In addition, the City Council requested staff research and bring back a recommendation regarding insurance agents relative to business licenses and State law. Staffs research has concluded it is not necessary to make any further Code amendments to address the concern raised by insurance agents about their State Constitutional rights to be exempt from local business taxes. TCC Section 2513(a) already exempts from the City's business license taxes "Nothing in this Chapter shall be deemed or construed to apply to any person transacting and carrying on any business exempt, by virtue of the Constitution or applicable statutes of the United States of America or of the State, from the amount of such taxes as are herein prescribed." As a result, to the extent an agent is already exempted under the State Constitution, City staff already possess the necessary authorization in the City Code to take administrative action to address that issue.
