PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS 10-11
10. ORDINANCE NO. 1486 RELATED TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A
BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS
The Building Board of Appeals is a City Council -established Board required to
hear appeals of determinations made by the City's Building Official. Currently, the
Tustin Planning Commission has been assigned to perform the role of the
Building Board of Appeals. Because of the technical nature of Building Official
determinations, Section 113.1 of the California Building Code requires the
Building Board of Appeals to be composed of members "who are qualified by
experience and training to pass on matters pertaining to building construction and
are not employees of the jurisdiction." In addition, Health and Safety Code
Section 19957.5 states that appeal boards considering appeals related to "access
to public accommodations by physically handicapped persons" shall include two
(2) members, experienced in construction, that are physically disabled. Because
members of the Planning Commission may not be technically experienced or
trained in the interpretation of Building Codes, or experienced in construction, it
may be more desirable to establish an independent Board of Appeals.
City Council December 19, 2017
Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 15
At the 2017 Strategic Planning Workshop, the City Council suggested that staff
prepare an Ordinance that would establish the Building Board of Appeals
independent of the Planning Commission. The establishment of a separate
Building Board of Appeals would also create an additional opportunity for Tustin
residents to serve on a City Board or Commission.
Public hearing opened at 7:21 p.m.
Public hearing closed at 7:21 p.m. with no public comments
It was moved by Councilmember Puckett and seconded by Councilmember
Bernstein to:
1. Introduce and have first reading of Ordinance No. 1486; and set a second
reading for the next City Council meeting.
2. Direct the City Clerk to advertise for citizen applicants to fill the newly
established Building Board of Appeals, and to schedule City Council
interviews once recruitment is complete.
3. Direct the Director of Community Development to provide
recommendations on applicant qualifications and level of compliance with
the California Codes.
