Ordinance Adopting 2025 Building Standards Code With Local Amendments

The City of West Sacramento has adopted the 2025 California Building Standards Code with local amendments to enhance public safety and regulate construction practices that pose hazards to life and property. This regulatory action, formalized through an ordinance signed on November 7, 2025, and publicly filed on November 14, 2025, updates municipal building regulations to align with state standards while incorporating tailored provisions to address local conditions. The adoption process was conducted under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with the city claiming categorical exemption under Class 8 (Section 15308) and ministerial exemption (Section 15061(b)(3)), asserting that the code update involves no significant environmental impact and implements existing statutory requirements. A $50 filing fee was paid to process the Notice of Exemption, which was submitted to the Office of Planning and Research and recorded by the Yolo County Clerk-Recorder, satisfying public disclosure obligations. No private contractors or vendors are involved; the city serves as the sole lead agency responsible for implementation, oversight, and enforcement. The effort is administrative in nature and does not constitute a federal procurement contract, as evidenced by the absence of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, contract line items, pricing data, or standard procurement identifiers such as UEI, CAGE codes, or acquisition classifications. There are no defined delivery schedules, performance periods, or payment terms beyond the nominal filing fee, and no solicitation or evaluation process was conducted. The Chief Building Official, Roxanna Recinos-Serna, is the designated point of contact for the action, and all activities are confined to the jurisdiction of West Sacramento, California. The ordinance ensures that all future construction and renovation projects within the city comply with updated safety, structural, and fire protection requirements as codified in Title 24, with inspections and compliance enforced locally by municipal authorities. Environmental compliance documentation, including the Notice of Exemption, supports the legal basis for the code’s adoption without triggering additional federal reporting or contracting obligations.
