Sec. 30-87. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> At the Sept. 2,2019, City Council Work Session, staff presented Council with a proposed City Code <br /> amendment to adopt the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). Council requested staff to <br /> proceed with the amendment change. <br /> The IPMC contains regulations pertaining to minimum exterior standards of all residential properties, <br /> rental and multiple dwelling exterior standards,rental and multiple dwelling interior standards,rental and <br /> multiple dwelling mechanical standards and licensing of rental dwellings. <br /> Staff recommends adoption of the IPMC which is produced by the International Code Council (ICC). <br /> The ICC coordinates and produces other model codes that the City of Elk River has adopted including <br /> the Fire, Building, Residential and Mechanical Codes. These model codes are developed through a public <br /> process and are coordinated between them to eliminate conflicting language. These model codes are <br /> widely adopted and used throughout the country. <br /> Amending Section 30,Article 2 of the Building Code will provide a better tool for staff to assist residents <br /> and also result in more consistency with the maintenance guidelines of the Rental Dwelling Program. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Proposed amendment <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAMIRE1 <br />
