Adoption of an Ordinance of the City of Poway Municipal Code Title 15 Buildings and Construction

The City of Poway is adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Codes into Title 15 of its Municipal Code through a ministerial ordinance amendment, aligning local regulations with state-mandated requirements. This action is administrative in nature, requiring no discretionary approval or environmental impact analysis, and is classified as exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The primary deliverables include formal adoption by the City Council, incorporation of the state code by reference, and filing of a Notice of Exemption with the Office of Planning and Research. The Senior Planner’s office, led by Kevin Parker, is responsible for overseeing the process, with supporting documentation such as the CEQA Notice of Exemption and a CDFW No Effect Determination submitted to the San Diego County Clerk’s Office. A $50 administrative fee was paid to the County for filing purposes, though no contract value, line items, or procurement pricing structure exists as this is not a competitive acquisition. There is no federal contract framework in place; no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, contracting officer roles, payment systems, accounting codes, or invoicing mechanisms apply. The project is entirely a municipal regulatory update, with no contractor involvement, no bidding process, and no federal solicitation or award documentation. The submission is made via hard copy to a physical mailing address, with no electronic portal or digital format accepted. The sole performance location is the City of Poway at 13325 Civic Center Drive, and all activities are confined to administrative compliance with state building code updates. The key dates include the ordinance signature on November 12, 2025, and CEQA filing on November 19, 2025, with the forecast published on November 26, 2025. No unique entity identifiers, socioeconomic certifications, or federal reporting requirements are triggered, as this action falls entirely within the scope of local government code adoption.
