On 2/15/2024, Douglas County Board of Commissioners INTRODUCED the following ordinance: 

ORDINANCE: 2023-1630 

TITLE: Ordinance 2023-1630, revising Title 20 of the Douglas County Code, including: (1) repealing the existing text of Chapters 20.800, 20.810 and 20.820 and replacing it with new text; and (2) repealing the existing text of Appendix B - Uniform Code Revisions and replacing it with new text, separated into Appendices B, B1, and B2. 

SUMMARY: Ordinance 2023-1630, revising Title 20 of the Douglas County Code, including: (1) repealing the existing text of Chapters 20.800, 20.810 and 20.820 and replacing it with new text; and (2) repealing the existing text of Appendix B - Uniform Code Revisions and replacing it with new text, separated into Appendices B, B1, and B2. The new text for Chapter 20.800 is simplified, formally adopts the 2018 Northern Nevada Amendments to uniform codes, and removes County-specific uniform code revisions, which should have been located in Appendix B. The new text for Appendix B incorporates the revisions removed from Chapter 20.800, removes redundancies, updates references to uniform code sections, and modifies certain outdated or inconsistent standards. In addition, the new text for Appendix B now includes three sub-appendices. The first, “Appendix B,” includes revisions to the building, residential, mechanical, electrical, energy conservation, existing building, and fuel gas codes. A new “Appendix B1” includes revisions to the fire and wildland-urban interface codes, applicable to the East Fork Fire Protection District. A new “Appendix B2” includes revisions to the fire and wildland urban interface codes, applicable to the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District. 

The 2nd Reading of this Ordinance will be held on 3/21/2024. A copy of this ordinance is on file in the Clerk’s Office for public review.
