DATE: August 6, 2019
Introduction
This memorandum forwards the enclosed amendments to the City of Dubuque Code of
Ordinances, Title 14 Building and Development, Chapter 1 Building Codes for City
Council's consideration.
Background
The International I-Codes are a coordinated set of building codes which serve as the
standard by which new construction and renovations are undertaken. These family of
codes reflect modern construction best practices and serve as an essential tool to
preserve public health and safety, provide safeguards from hazards associated with the
built environment, and improve the performance and efficiency of buildings and
structures.
The International I-Codes are model codes that establish minimum requirements for
building systems using prescriptive and performance related provisions. The
International I-Codes are kept up to date through an ongoing review process involving
code enforcement officials, industry professionals, design professionals and other
interested parties. Proposed changes are carefully considered through an open code
development process in which all interested stakeholders may participate. The 2018
editions present the codes as originally issued, with changes reflected in the 2003
through 2015 editions and with further changes approved by the ICC Code
Development Process through 2017. A new edition is created every 3 years. The City of
Dubuque, as well as many other local agencies, review the proposed amendments and
adopt versions of the codes the following year.
Discussion
The proposed amendments update current City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances
provisions. Of note, the following code books and amendments will be adopted in place
of the current 2015 editions:
1. 2018 International Building Code
2. 2018 International Residential Code
3. 2018 International Mechanical Code
4. 2018 International Fire Code
5. 2018 International Fuel Gas Code
6. 2018 International Plumbing Code
7. 2018 International Property Maintenance Code
In addition, the amendments will adopt a new code book, the 2018 International Existing
Building Code (IEBC). The IEBC was formerly included in the International Building
Code (IBC). Since the last code update process, the IEBC was removed from the IBC
and has become a standalone document necessitating the need adopt it into the City of
Dubuque Code of Ordinances.
The IEBC establishes minimum requirements for existing buildings using prescriptive
and performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles intended to
encourage the use and reuse of existing buildings while requiring reasonable upgrades
and improvements. The IEBC provides requirements for repair and alternative
approaches for alterations and additions to existing buildings. Many existing buildings
and structures do not comply with the modern building code requirements for new
construction. Rehabilitation is often cost-prohibitive because compliance with all the
requirements for new construction could require extensive changes that go well beyond
the value of the building or the original scope of the alteration. At the same time, it is
necessary to regulate construction in existing buildings that undergo additions,
alterations, extensive repairs or changes of occupancy. To balance these objectives,
and to make the alteration process easier, this code allows for options for controlled
departure from full compliance with the International Codes dealing with new
construction, while maintaining basic levels for fire prevention, structural and life safety
features of the rehabilitated building.
One code book in the family of International I-Codes not being considered for adoption
at this time is the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). State law prevents
local political subdivisions from adopting an energy code different than what has been
adopted by the State of lowa and the State Building Commissioner. This is only limited
to the energy code.
The State has adopted the 2012 IECC for residential and commercial projects. The
State of lowa anticipates adopting the 2018 IECC by the end of the calendar year. Once
the State adopts the 2018 IECC it will be forwarded to City Council for consideration.
The Building Services Department will continue to monitor the State Energy Code
status.
Requested Action
The City of Dubuque Building Board of Appeals and Mechanical and Plumbing Board
have reviewed the respective codes and recommend approval as submitted. I
respectfully request City Council review and adopt the proposed amendments to the
City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances, Title 14 Building and Development, Chapter 1
Building Codes.

Subject: ordinance question
Ord 33-19 page 4 subsection 2-5C-14D reads “…(15) working days…” throughout this ord wherever “working”
appeared it was changed to “business” except for this spot. Was that intentional?
Ord 46-19 page 1 bottom of page section 505.3 the intro and the paragraph are the exact same as section
702.5 on the next page of the ord --- is this correct to have different numbers in the same code read exactly
the same?
Ord 47-19 page 6 new #7 “machine rooms, machinery spaces….Building Code. Automatic sprinklers shall not
be…” this last sentence is a duplicate on page 6 #6 of this ord – actually #6 has more info – is this last
sentence in #7 a typo and should be omitted?

On #1 it was probably just an oversight. They should all be consistent.
On #2 --- Dave, can you chime in?

Subject: ordinance question
1) Ord 33-19 page 4 subsection 2-5C-14D reads “…(15) working days…” throughout this ord wherever
“working” appeared it was changed to “business” except for this spot. Was that intentional?
This was not intentional. Working days should be business days.
2) Ord 46-19 page 1 bottom of page section 505.3 the intro and the paragraph are the exact same as
section 702.5 on the next page of the ord --- is this correct to have different numbers in the same code
read exactly the same?
This is correct. This appears twice in the code book.
3) Ord 47-19 page 6 new #7 “machine rooms, machinery spaces….Building Code. Automatic sprinklers
shall not be…” this last sentence is a duplicate on page 6 #6 of this ord – actually #6 has more info – is
this last sentence in #7 a typo and should be omitted?
Mark Burkle will need to answer this. I have copied Mark on this reply.
Thanks -
