BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL YAKIMA, WASHINGTONAGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 4.L. For Meeting of: January 5, 2021
Joan Davenport, Community Development Director
Glenn Denman, Code Administration Manager (509) 575-6268
Washington State law requires cities and counties to adopt the state adopted editions of the International and Uniform Codes (most are now called the Washington State codes). The 2018 editions have been approved by the state for adoption by local jurisdictions. The City has previously adopted the 2015 editions of those codes. The Existing Building Code (proposed as 11.12) was previously an accompanying code to the building code, but is now a standalone code. The Existing Building Code has nothing to do with property maintenance, and is not connected with the International Property Maintenance Code.
