(a)
The
International Building Code, 2018 edition is hereby adopted, as published
by the International Code Council, and as amended by the recommendations
of the North Central Texas Council of Governments and as amended by
the town. Said amendments are filed in the office of the town secretary.
(b)
All
ordinances or parts of ordinances in force when the provisions of
this section become effective that are inconsistent or in conflict
with the terms and provisions contained in this section are hereby
repealed only to the extent of any such conflict; provided, however,
notwithstanding any provision of this section or the 2018 International
Building Code, this section does not impose new regulations or repeal
or otherwise modify certain existing regulations that were enacted
before January 1, 2009, requiring automatic sprinkler fire suppression
systems in certain one- or two-family residential dwellings (those
having over 4,999 square feet), it being the intention of the town
council for those existing regulations to continue in force and effect
after January 1, 2009, unless and until the town council expressly
enacts an ordinance expressly modifying or repealing those regulations.
In the event of any contradiction between this exception and any other
provision of this section or any other ordinance in this code, or
the 2018 International Building Code or other applicable codes or
laws, as amended, this section shall prevail to the fullest extent
necessary to retain said existing regulations that were enacted before
January l, 2009, requiring automatic sprinkler fire suppression systems
in certain one- or two-family residential dwellings (those having
over 4,999 square feet).
(Ordinance 2020-28 adopted 10/6/20)

as directed and set forth by this article or adopted by ordinance
from time to time by the town council and said amendments shall be
