Every three years, the California Building Standards Commission updates and
adopts new construction regulations based on internationally published model codes.
These regulations are collectively known as the California Code of Regulations Title
24, or more commonly, the California Building Standards Code. State law requires
the 2025 California Building Standards Code to be enforced by all California cities
effective January 1, 2026.
Sections 17958.7 and 18941.5 of the California Health and Safety Code permit local
governments to adopt amendments to the California Building Standards Code when
they are administrative or procedural in nature, or when local climatic, geological, or
topographical conditions warrant more restrictive requirements. These amendments,
however, may not be less restrictive than the standards contained in Title 24.
To comply with State law, Ordinance No. 1569 is proposed to adopt and amend the
2025 California Building Standards Code, including certain appendices and
supplemental regulations. City staff has worked in partnership with the Orange
County Fire Authority on relevant supplemental regulations, and Resolution No. 25-

within the City of Tustin.
Motion: The City Council:
1. Continued to November 18, 2025 the consideration of Resolution 25-53, which
sets forth findings related to local climatic, geological, and topographical
conditions within the City of Tustin that make certain amendments to the 2025
California Building Standards Code reasonably necessary; and,
2. Introduced and conducted the first reading of Ordinance No. 1569 and set the
second reading and adoption for the Council's public hearing on November
18, 2025. This procedure is in accordance with California Government Code
