Explanation
BACKGROUND:
As a result of the continued extensive, city-wide, code review process conducted by Lexis-Nexis, a series of code changes were recommended for the code titles under the direction of the Department of Development in an effort to remove errors and conflicts from the Columbus City Codes. These changes are designed not to change the content or intent of the code but rather to correct simply typographical errors and conflicting cross references when present.
This ordinance authorizes amendments to Title 41, the Columbus Building Code, Title 45, the Housing Code, and Title 47, the Nuisance Abatement Code, in order to correct multiple cross-references, mostly referencing the sections of the Ohio Administrative Code that form the Ohio Building Code.
These changes also repeal Chapters 4119 and 4121 of the Columbus Building Code, Title 41, dealing with antiquated regulations for fire zones as they are no longer used and have been superceded by the Ohio Fire Code and Ohio Building Code requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No funding is required for this legislation.
