Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The city of Columbus in 2006 adopted the statewide mandated Residential Code of Ohio (RCO) as the building code covering the construction of all one-, two-, and three-Family Dwellings within the city. This code included an optional appendix for pools and spas associated with one-, two-, and three-Family dwellings. After researching what code would be best to cover pools and spas, it was decided to incorporate the Appendix G of the RCO into the local adoption of this model building code.
While this code change will adopt Appendix G of the RCO, it will not change or affect the status of any permits related to these items or create any new permit requirement, regulation, or code, as Appendix G is based on the prior model code that was in effect for these items. This code change was reviewed by the Columbus Building Commission at their July 17, 2007 monthly public meeting and recommended this code change for approval and adoption by Columbus City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No funding is required for this legislation.
