A.
This
title shall serve as the technical codes for building, property, health,
and safety regulations for the city, which are partially comprised
of the 2022 edition of the California Title 24 Codes, or California
Building Standards Codes, as defined in California Health and Safety
Code Section 18901 et seq. At the time of the enactment of this title,
the California Building Standards Codes is comprised of Part 1 California
Administrative Code; Part 2 California Building Code; Part 2.5 California
Residential Code; Part 3 California Electrical Code; Part 4 California
Mechanical Code; Part 5 California Plumbing Code; Part 6 California
Energy Code; Part 8 California Historical Building Code; Part 9 California
Fire Code; Part 10 California Existing Building Code; Part 11 California
Green Building Standards Code; and Part 12 California Referenced Standards
Code.
B.
The
provisions of the codes and standards referenced in the California
Building Standards Codes shall be considered part of the requirements
of this title to the prescribed extent of each such reference.
C.
The
building official or designee shall enforce the applicable provisions
of the California Building Standards Codes, with such additions, deletions,
and modifications, as are adopted in them, with the exception of those
provisions of the Fire Code, 2022 edition, which are to be enforced
by the Fire Chief. The building official may develop guidelines or
division policies to implement, administer, and enforce this title.
D.
Where
the phrase or reference to "name of jurisdiction" or "jurisdiction"
appears in the California Building Standards Codes, such phrase or
reference shall be construed by the reader to mean the same thing
as the "City of Carlsbad" and the use of the term shall be interchangeable.
E.
Amendments
to the building standards contained in the codes published by the
model code organizations (ICC, IAPMO, and NFPA) by California state
agencies, are applicable only to those occupancies or uses which the
state agency making the amendment is authorized to regulate.
F.
Existing
and proposed legislation may affect the requirements contained in
this title at any time. In the event of any conflict between this
title and any applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, or regulation
shall supersede this code and shall be effective and enforceable immediately.
This section is declaratory of existing law and is not to be construed
as suggesting that such was not the purpose and intent of previous
adoptions of the California Building Standards Code.
G.
The
provisions of this title shall not be construed as imposing upon the
City of Carlsbad any liability or responsibility for damage to persons
or property resulting from defective work, nor shall the City of Carlsbad,
or any official, employee, or agent of the city, be held as assuming
any such liability or responsibility by reason of the review or inspections
authorized by the provisions of this title of any permits or certificates
issued under this title.
(Ord. CS-437 § 2, 2022)
A.
Unless otherwise stated by ordinance, any person, firm, or corporation who violates any of the provisions of this title is guilty of an infraction except for the fourth or each additional violation of a provision within one year which shall be a misdemeanor. Penalties for a violation of this title shall be designated in Section 1.08.010 of this code.
B.
The
issuance or granting of a permit or approval of plans shall not prevent
the building official from thereafter requiring the correction of
errors in these plans and specifications, or from preventing construction
operations from being carried on thereunder when in violation of this
title or of any other ordinance, or from suspending or revoking any
certificate of approval when issued in error.
