Adoption of the 2009 International Building, Fire, Mechanical, Fuel
Gas and Existing Building Codes and the 2009 Uniform Plumbing
Code
September 20, 2010 Council Meeting
BACKGROUND: Every three years the International Building Codes Committee updates their
codes. The State of Montana then follows suit and adopts them. Once the state adopts the new
code revisions, they require the local jurisdictions to follow suit within 90 days. In March of 2009
the State of Montana adopted the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code which the city
did adopt this past June. The State of Montana now has officially adopted the 2009 International
Building, Fire, Mechanical, Fuel Gas and Existing Building Codes along with the 2009 Uniform
Plumbing Code effective July 29, 2010. These codes will replace the previously adopted 2006
family of codes. Because of the State Building Codes Division action, these codes presently are in
force for all commercial and multi -family residential construction within the state of Montana. The
City of Kalispell, in order to maintain its certification with the State Building Codes Bureau is
required to follow suit locally within 90 days and adopt the 2009 codes as well. Once adopted in
Kalispell the city building department will utilize these codes for all commercial and residential
construction within the city.
Adoption of the code by the City of Kalispell will provide contractors a local source for education
and answers to questions about the codes and their application. The Kalispell Building
Department will continue with an educational approach to achieving code compliance within the
construction industry with the adoption of all new codes.
Please note that a majority of the changes in the new codes address high-rise construction
methods. These are specific off -shoots of the 9-1-1 tragedy in 2001. Specific changes within the
new codes that will affect Kalispell more directly include:
• Requiring fire sprinklers for hotels with 8 or more guest rooms and 8-plex or larger
apartment buildings. This is more stringent than the 2006 codes which required sprinklers
for hotels with 10 or more guest rooms and 16-plex or larger apartment units.
• Requiring carbon monoxide detectors in dwelling units.
The code now addresses live/work units making it easier to have a home occupation
without meeting all the commercial requirements.
Changes bringing more clarity within the language and application of the Building Code.
Mechanical, Fuel Gas and Plumbing code changes that bring them more in line with and
reiterating the requirements of the energy code.
In conclusion, the new codes should bring about more clarity within the ICC family of codes as
each code cycle the committees are identifying language discrepancies and proposing changes for
corrections. The building department will continue to be available to answer questions the
development community may have. In preparation for adoption of this code, our department did
send out approximately 84 letters to builders in the community advising them of the new code
adoptions. The Flathead Building Association also notified their members through their weekly E-
mail newsletter.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached ordinance adopting the 2009 edition of the
International Building Code, International Fire Code, International Mechanical Code,
International Fuel Gas Code, International Existing Building Code and the Uniform Plumbing
Code as adopted and amended by the Building Codes Bureau of the State of Montana.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Cost increases will be expected for those constructing new apartment
buildings of 8 or more units or motels with 8 or more rooms of about $2.50 sq ft for the required
sprinkler systems. Other codes may have minor cost increases depending on the size and type of
project being constructed. It is the intent of the State Building Codes Division that these costs will
be offset through the construction of safer buildings.
ALTERNATIVES: Failure to adopt the ordinance would place the building department out of
compliance with the State Building Codes Bureau and force the state to de -certify the Kalispell
Building Department
