CBSC meeting March 18, 2004
Isam Hasenin, 45, of San Diego, has been appointed to the CBSC. He is
currently the chief building official and the chief deputy director for
the City of San Diego Development Service Department.
Robert Pernell, 54, of Sacramento, has been appointed to the CBSC. He is
the founder and chairman of the Collaborative for High Performance
Schools, Inc., a consortium of utility, public interest and government
agency partners promoting energy efficient schools as a tool for improving
learning.
James Barthman, 69, of Castro Valley, has been reappointed to the CBSC. He
has spent the last 14 years serving as the manager of the Inspection
Services Department and as the Building Official for the City of Oakland.
The CBSC concurred and approved the adoption of proposed emergency
structural standards for the CBC that are applicable to state occupancies
regulated by the CBSC. The CBSC will start the process to get a supplement
out for the 2001 CBC.
The CBSC supported the decision of the CBSC appeals which denied an appeal
by Fresenius Medical Care, relating to OSHPD’s CMC provisions on Filters
for Outpatient Facilities. CBSC unanimously denied the appeal.
Workgroup and timeline discussions for the NFPA 5000, NFPA 1 and the IRC
were held. Stan Nishimua executive director of the CBSC went over the
workgroup and timeline handout. The CBIA and a representative from NFPA
commented about the time lines, to support it or to give an opinion on how
to shorten it. There was no action taken at this time on the proposed
timelines.
Comments from the public regarding the accessibility provisions of DSA’s
in the NFPA 5000 ensued as to how or what it should be based on. Most of
this was inaudible but it appears that 11B, NFPA 5000 chapter 12, ICC/ANSI
A117.1 and ADAAG will make up the new chapter without lessening any of the
current scoping and technical provisions. Provisions that are more
restrictive than the current CBC or the ADA may or will have some
resistance if proposed.

Proposed Effective date of CEC, CPC, CMC
|
Agencies will be resubmitting* the CPC and CMC packages
to the commission by August 2 to begin the CBSC rule making process for
the 2004 Annual
Code Adoption Cycle.
At this time the CBSC has not stated a
proposed effective date for that cycle (possibly in the first quarter of
2006).
*Proposals originally submitted to the CBSC 10/24/03 for the CPC and CMC
had been pulled back by the State Agencies due to executive order S-2-03
form the Governors office.
