EDC 2019-27 TIF Inducement Resolution – Imperial Investments Ms. Noble said this is an amendment to the TIF resolution for Imperial Investments allowing them to move some parcels from Downtown Project A,TIF #1 into TIF #2 and vice-versa. The committee was OK with this and it will move forward to the Council consent agenda. Page 2 of 3 10. EDC 2019-28 TIF Inducement Resolution – Casa Santiago This is a new resolution and a plan will be needed. The property representative, Mr. Kealan O'Neil was present. Casa Santiago is on the lower level while the upper level is vacant. The committee supported this and it moves forward to the Council consent agenda. 11. EDC 2019-29 TIF Inducement Resolution – Route 47 and Fox Road The Corner Liquor Store has a new owner, Jatin Patel, who closed on the property in 2015. He wishes to take advantage of the TIF assistance and will bring a formal plan later. The committee recommended approval and it moves forward to the Council consent agenda. 1. EDC 2019-19 Building Permit Report for December 2018 and January 2019 No discussion. 2. EDC 2019-20 Building Inspection Report for December 2018 and January 2019 No discussion. 3. EDC 2019-21 Property Maintenance Report for December 2018 and January 2019 Mr. Ratos said the majority of the violations came into compliance prior to their hearings. No further comments. 4. EDC 2019-22 Economic Development Report for February 2019 Ms. Dubajic reported the following activity: 1. Morton Buildings has filed an application and a rezoning request will be forthcoming for Yorkville Business Center. 2. Cedarhurst expects to open in April and a tour will be held. 3. Work is ongoing at Martini Banquets. 5. EDC 2019-23 Downtown Form-Based Code and Master Streetscape Plan Ms. Noble recapped the efforts for this project directed by Farr Associates. There will be a public open house at PZC and it will move forward to City Council in May. There are 2 documents so far, the streetscape guide and the form-based code and Ms. Noble gave a brief description of each. Mr. Doug Farr was also present for further questions. Alderman Frieders pointed out several errors that needed to be corrected in the documents. He also discussed the traffic issue at Van Emmon and Heustis and the various interim projects such as painting the light poles along Hydraulic. He said a reference to interim changes could be made in the documents. Ms. Noble said the long- term time frame for these improvements is about 10 years. Alderman Funkhouser said a few of the items in the plan have already been accomplished and should be updated and that buildings no longer existing should be removed. He also requested alternate colors for the appendix for easier readability. Any other changes should be emailed to Ms. Noble. This moves to the April 10th PZC. Page 3 of 3 6. EDC 2019-24 Raging Waves Annexation Agreement Amendment Mr. Olson said the owners are requesting an Annexation Agreement amendment extension to 2026 regarding the admission tax. Currently the admission tax is rebated 100% to the owner. He said they would like the extension due to infrastructure work and as a revenue stream for the expansion starting this summer. The current tax is 2.75% which generates approximately $148,000 per year. It was noted that much of this tax comes from people who do not live in Yorkville. Ms. Dubajic summarized the waterpark plans for their multi-year project on the 20 acres they recently purchased. They include more parking, new entrance and more attractions. Alderman Colosimo said he was OK with this request since Raging Waves has been a good neighbor and they generate a lot of money for the city. Alderman Frieders was also OK with the request since there are actual expansion plans for that money and traffic will be addressed. He said the waterpark is a highlight of the area. Alderman Peterson also approved. This will move forward for a Public Hearing and will need a super majority vote at City Council. 7. EDC 2019-25 Windmill Farms Annexation Clarification Ms. Noble explained how Windmill Farms was originally approved through 2 different ordinances. Over time, the developer/owner of part of the property experienced hard times and it went into foreclosure. There were 14 parcels with different owners. Mr. Hively is one of the owners who would like to move forward with his portion of the land and have his 3 parcels rezoned. As other owners come forward, their parcels will be rezoned accordingly. The committee was OK with this and it will move forward to the March 26th Council meeting for a Public Hearing. 8. EDC 2019-26 Short Term Rental Regulations Ms. Noble said staff is trying to create regulations prior to any issues with Airbnb's. She said this matter would go to PZC and to the Administration Committee prior to approval. The committee discussed possible regulations, taxes, applicant fees and how to monitor the Airbnb's. Mr. Olson noted that there has been one inquiry regarding the Airbnb's and that regulations should be in place if problems arise. It was noted that HOA's can also restrict this use. After much discussion, the committee decided to make this a permitted use and collect no fees or adopt any other regulations. This moves to PZC for a Public Hearing. Old Business 1. EDC 2019-17 Renewal of Intergovernmental Agreement with Kendall County for Building Inspection Services Ms. Noble said the County added some criteria for insurance and the committee was OK with moving this to the Council consent agenda.

Reviewed By: Legal Finance Engineer City Administrator Human Resources Community Development Police Public Works Parks and Recreation Agenda Item Number New Business #5 Tracking Number EDC 2019-34 Grande Reserve Unit 23 – Final Plat of Resubdivision Economic Development Committee – April 2, 2019 Majority Vote Proposed Final Plat of Resubdivision for certain lots within the Grande Reserve Subdivision – Unit 23. Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, AICP Community Development Name Department Request Summary: The successor developer for the Grande Reserve subdivision, Grande Reserve Chicago ASLI VI, LLP (Avanti Group), is seeking to revise the parcel dimensions for six (6) home lots and two (2) common space areas within Unit 23 (Neighborhood 1). The request is to resubdivide the existing final plats for each homesite parcel to extend the rear lot lines approximately 20 feet (16.35” at the shortest to 21.95” at the longest) within the adjacent common space to accommodate a newer model ranch home, yet still meet requisite setback regulations for the R-2 zoning district. The new lot configuration would make the lots almost symmetrical to the adjoining parcels within the cul-de-sacs they are located and does not significantly decrease the open space character of the planned development in this neighborhood. Proposed Amended Final Plat: The original Final Plat for Unit 23 of the Grande Reserve was approved in 2006 via Resolution No. 2006-61 and recorded as Document No. 2006000440560 and was subsequently amended in 2007 (Document No. 200700018963). The amendment in 2007 adjusted the overall lot sizes for 21 lots. Below is an analysis of the proposed six (6) home lots proposed to be changed by the proposed resubdivided final plat. Parcels Adjacent to Common Open Space #1 (Lot 3034) = 6.13 acres (267,022.80 sq. ft.)

TOTAL AREA 2,304 sq. ft. % Change in common open space = 0.0086% Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Date: March 12, 2019 Subject: PZC 2019-13 Grande Reserve – Unit 23 Final Plat Approval for the Resubdivision of Certain Lots Parcels Adjacent to Common Open Space #2 (Lot 3033) = 7.31 acres (318,423.60 sq. ft.) Lot Address Proposed Increase Area Image 3 239 4468 E Millbrook Cir 60’ x 21.35’= 1,281 sq. ft. 4 251 2843 Silver Springs Ct 60’ x 21.35’= 1,281 sq. ft. 5 287 4228 E Millbrook Cir 74.53’ x 21.95’= 1,635 sq. ft. 6 290 4208 E Millbrook Cir 60’ x 16.35 = 981 sq. ft. TOTAL AREA 5,178 sq. ft. % Change in common open space = 0.0162% The two (2) common space lots effected by the lot size increases are Lots 3033 and 3034. Lot 3033 is identified as a stormwater management facility and Lot 3034 is community open space. Both lots are owned by the developer and will be turned over to the homeowners’ association at a future date. Staff Comments: It is staff opinion that the revised rear yard setback is in keeping with the width and depth required for similar permitted uses in the R-2 zoning district and consistent with the immediately adjacent rear lot lines of abutting parcels. Additionally, the City’s engineering consultant, EEI, has reviewed the attached proposed amended plats and find them in conformance with the subdivision control ordinance regulations and does not have any concern regarding impairment to the capacity of the stormwater management facility resulting from the proposed lot revisions. The applicant has submitted the required attached application, fees and proposed resubdivided final plat illustrating the proposed revisions for each of the lots. Staff intends to recommend approval of the Resubdivided Final Plat to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the April 10, 2019 meeting with subsequent final determination by the City Council at the April 13, 2019 meeting. Should you have any questions regarding this matter; staff will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting. Attachments: 1. Copy of Petitioner’s Application 2.

Reviewed By: Legal Finance Engineer City Administrator Human Resources Community Development Police Public Works Parks and Recreation Agenda Item Number New Business #6 Tracking Number EDC 2019-35 Morton Buildings –Lot 15 Yorkville Business Center (Rezoning) Economic Development Committee - April 2, 2019 Proposed rezoning in Yorkville Business Center from B-3 General Business District To M-1 Light Manufacturing District Jason Engberg Community Development Name Department PROPOSED REQUEST: The petitioner, Roger Bauer on behalf of Morton Buildings, Inc. is seeking rezoning approval for lot 15 of the Yorkville Business Center from B-3 General Business District to M-1 Limited Manufacturing District. The purpose of the rezoning request is to eventually combine the property with lot 14 (currently zoned M-1) into a single parcel and construct a business operations facility for Morton Buildings, Inc. The total proposed area to be rezoned consists of approximately 0.94 acres of vacant land north of the Boombah Boulevard and Commercial Drive intersection within the Yorkville Business Center. PROPERTY BACKGROUND: The property was annexed pursuant to an annexation agreement on March 23, 1995 (Ord. 1995-05) into the City of Yorkville by the Inland Appreciation Fund, L.P. as part of a larger land development plan which includes both Caledonia and the Yorkville Business Center. This development was zoned for R-2, B-3, and M-1 uses and this property fell under the B-3 zoning classification. A similar rezone request for the property to the northeast of the site (Lot 19) was conducted in 2015. The current self-storage use was rezoned from B-3 General Business District to M-1 Limited Manufacturing. Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Date: March 19, 2019 Subject: PZC 2019-10 Morton Buildings – Lot 15 Yorkville Business Center (Rezoning) SITE ANALYSIS: The following are the current immediate surrounding zoning and land uses: Zoning Land Use North M-1 Limited Manufacturing Self-Storage Facility/Vacant Land South B-3 General Business District Commercial Building East B-3 General Business District Commercial Strip Center/Stormwater Retention West M-1 Limited Manufacturing Industrial Building Land Use The proposed requested use of an “operations center” for Morton Buildings is defined in the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance as “Any assembly, production, manufacturing, testing, repairing or processing that can and does operate in compliance with performance standards.” Additionally, wholesaling and warehousing with accessory office space is also permitted in the M-1 Limited Manufacturing District. Therefore, the proposed use is permitted in the M-1 Limited Manufacturing District. Comprehensive Plan (Future Land Use) The subject property’s future land use is classified as “General Industrial” which is intended to generally provide small to large-scale industrial uses that are wholly contained in a building and do not generate noticeable external effects. Also, this designation considers warehousing, assembly and low impact manufacturing as an appropriate future land use. The proposed M-1 zoning classification is in line with the Comprehensive Plan’s future land use designation. Proposed Concept/Site Plan The petitioner has submitted a preliminary site plan (attached) for when both lots are combined. The building would be located at the southwest corner of the property and provide two access lanes off of Commercial Drive. The following chart illustrates the minimum required yard setbacks for buildings/structures within the M-1 Limited Manufacturing District: Minimum Requirement Proposed Setback Front 25 feet 71 feet Rear None 152 feet Side Min. 10% of lot with max. of 20 feet 20 feet Corner Side Min. 10% of lot with max. of 20 feet Over 20 feet (not dimensioned) Parking required for this land use is 0.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area. The building is projected to have 7,000 square feet of floor space. Therefore, the minimum required amount of spaces for this development is 4 spaces. The petitioner has illustrated that there will be 24 parking spaces which exceeds the minimum requirement. The building will be subject to the City's Appearance Code which requires new industrial land uses to follow these guidelines: Masonry products or precast concrete shall be incorporated on at least fifty percent (50%) of the total building, as broken down as follows: The "front facade" (defined as that facade that faces a street that includes a main entry to the building) shall itself incorporate masonry products or precast concrete on at least fifty percent (50%) of the facade. Any other facade that abuts a street shall incorporate masonry products or precast concrete. The use of masonry products or precast concrete is encouraged on the remaining facades. Where precast concrete panels or split face block is utilized, the use of colors, patterns, or other architectural features within these panels/blocks is encouraged. Landscape Before the property may be developed, the petitioner will have to comply with all landscape regulations in Section 8-12 of the Yorkville City Code. FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONING: Section 10-4-10-B of the City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes criteria for findings of fact related to rezoning (map amendment) requests.

Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble Community Development Name Department Background & Request As the Economic Development Committee will recall in May of 2018, the City approved an ordinance amending the text to Title 3 Chapter 10: Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishments of the City Code to identify microblading services as semi-permanent eyebrow embroidery, and then exempt this service from the 700-foot buffer restriction for tattooing establishments. This amendment was at the sole behest of a proprietor leasing space in a downtown building located immediately across the street from a multi-family residential property. Since the approval, the same business owner has inquired about offering other permeant cosmetic tattooing procedures, such as lip and eyeliner, which do not fall within the narrow definition of microblading but considered tattooing. The business owner’s salon is located at 101 E. Center Street and within 700 feet of residentially zoned property, thereby not permissible for tattooing services. Therefore, staff is recommending amending the text to identify all “micropigmentation” permanent cosmetic procedures as exempted services from the required 700’ buffer from any residential, office or agricultural zoning district requirement as now stipulated in Title 3 Chapter 10: Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishments of the City’s Business and License Regulations. Existing Ordinances As mentioned previously, all tattooing and body piercing services are regulated in the City by Title 3: Business and License Regulations of the City Code. According to the City Attorney, the City’s current definition of “tattooing” found in Section 3-10-1 (see below) is the same definition contained in the State’s Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishment Registration Act which would preclude such micropigmentation services, such as permanent lip coloring or permanent eyeliner, to obtain a license from the City Clerk’s Office. While there are exemptions for doctors to perform tattooing without requiring a State or City license, there are no exceptions for others to perform cosmetic tattooing services without licensure. Although the Zoning Code identifies “tattooing and body piercing establishments” as outright permitted land uses in all business zoned districts, Title 3: Business and License Regulations of the City Code has additional restrictions related to tattooing and body piercing services which would apply to “micropigmentation” as outlined below: 3-10-1: Definitions TATTOOING: Making permanent marks on the skin of a live human being by puncturing the skin and inserting indelible colors. "Tattooing" includes imparting Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Jason Engberg, Senior Planner Date: March 12, 2019 Subject: Micropigmentation (Permanent Cosmetics/Body Art Services) Text Amendment permanent makeup on the skin, such as permanent lip coloring and permanent eyeliner. 3-10-2: License Required It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to maintain and operate a tattoo establishment, with or without body piercing, or a body piercing establishment without first having obtained a license as hereinafter provided. 3-10-5: Premises Regulations No tattoo or body piercing establishment, except an establishment that only performs microblading that shall not have to comply with subsections B, and J through O of this section, shall receive a license or be operated, established or maintained unless the establishment shall comply with each of the following minimum regulations… J. No establishment shall be allowed within five hundred feet (500’) of another existing tattoo or body piercing establishment. K. No establishment shall be allowed within five hundred feet (500’) of an adult use as defined in this Code. L. No establishment shall be allowed within seven hundred feet (700') of any zoning district which is zoned for single-family suburban residence district (R-1), single-family traditional residence district (R-2), duplex, two-family attached residence district (R-2D), multi-family attached residence district (R- 3), general multi-family residence district (R-4), office district (O), agricultural district (A-1). M. No establishment shall be allowed within five hundred feet (500') of a preexisting school or place of worship. N. No establishment shall be allowed in a building or structure which contains another business that sells or dispenses in some manner alcoholic beverages. O. For the purposes of this chapter, measurements shall be made in a straight line, without regard to intervening structures or objects, from the property line of the lot or parcel containing the adult use to the property line of the lot or parcel containing the nearest adult use, school, place of worship, or district zone for residential. Micropigmentation Research “Micropigmentation,” as defined by the American Academy of Micropigmentation (AAM), is the art and science of implanting micro-insertions of pigment into the skin using either a machine or hand-tool resulting in semi-permanent or permanent cosmetic/makeup applications such as lip color, eyeliner, eyebrow embroidery (microblading) and scalp/hairlines. According to professional estheticians, micropigmentation differs from traditional tattoo inks in that typically, it consists of fine particles in a liquid suspension, as opposed to the fully dissolved inks used for traditional tattooing. The particulate nature of micro-pigmentation and the various “natural pigments” reputedly used in their manufacture are said to contribute to their semi- permanency. Various operations offering semi-permanent skin-coloring treatments claim that skin coloration will last anything from 1 to 5 years depending on skin type and level of exposure to the sun. A brief explanation and image of the various permanent cosmetic techniques are provided below: Permanent Lip Liner, Lip Color or Blending: A natural appearing permanent cosmetic lip liner can be applied to give more definition, correct uneven lips, which will result in a fuller appearance. The procedure also helps prevent lipstick from bleeding and can minimize the appearance of wrinkles.1 Permanent Eyeliner: A permanent makeup cosmetic technique which employs tattoos as a means of producing designs that resemble eyeliner, top and/or bottom. Eyebrow Embroidery (Microblading): A semi-permanent to permanent cosmetic tattooing process performed using a grouping or configuration of needles affixed to a handle to manually create lines that resemble eyebrow hairs. 1 https://www.spcp.org/thinking-of-getting-a-cosmetic-tattoo/lipliner/ Scalp/Hairline Tattooing: A cosmetic scalp micropigmentation technique that gives the illusion of a close buzz cut hairstyle on a bald head. The procedure can also be used to conceal the scars from hair transplantation or to make thinning hair seem thicker. Surrounding Communities Staff has also conducted research on how other nearby communities address tattooing and semi-permanent cosmetic applications in their ordinances. While we found that most communities do not expressly have a definition or use category for “micropigmentation”, some do regulate the use either as part of body art or tattooing services as listed below: Plainfield, IL Special Use (for all beauty/nail salons & body art services) Naperville, IL Conditional Use (tattooing services) Oswego, IL Special Use Homer Glen, IL Permitted Use (exempted from tattooing regulations same as ear piercing is exempted from body piercing services) While some local communities have opted to treat body art and tattooing services as Special or Conditional Uses, the City Council in 2014, as part of the Zoning Code Update, approved the reclassification of tattooing and body art services from special uses to outright permitted uses in all business zoned districts. Proposed Text Amendment Staff proposes the following amendments to Title 3 Chapter 10: Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishments of the City Code: 1. Section 3-10-1: Definitions a. Deletion of the definition “MICROBLADING” in its entirety b. Replace with “MICROPIGMENTATION: a cosmetic procedure whereby micro- insertion of pigment is implanting into the skin using either a machine or hand-tool resulting in semi-permanent or permanent makeup applications such as lip color, eyeliner, eyebrow embroidery (microblading) and scalp/hairline tattooing.” c. Amendment to the definition of “TATTOOING” by deleting the sentence “Tattooing includes imparting permanent makeup on the skin, such as permanent lip coloring and permanent eyeliner.” 2. Section 3-10-5: Premises a. Replace the word “microblading” with “micropigmentation” in the sentence “No tattoo or body piercing establishment, except an establishment that only performs microblading that shall not have to comply with subsection B, and J through O of this section, shall receive a license or be operated, established or maintained unless the establishment shall comply with each of the following regulations…” 3. Section 3-10-5 paragraph O a. Revise sentence to read: “For the purposes of this chapter, measurements shall be made in a straight line, without regard to intervening structures or objects, from the property line of the lot or parcel containing the tattoo or body piercing establishment to the property line of the lot or parcel containing the nearest tattooing or body piercing establishment, adult use, school, place of worship, or district zone for residential.” Staff Comments/Recommendation It is staff’s recommendation to amend Title 3 Chapter 10: Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishments of the City Code as proposed to include the new definition of “micropigmentation” and exempt the service from the minimum 700’ buffer requirement for all other tattooing and body piercing establishments. In staff’s estimation, having a location restriction for professional aesthetic services covered under micropigmentation, which is similar to other personal cares services such as tanning, massage, and cosmetic spas, creates an undue burden on businesses trying to offer these desired treatments in Yorkville. Since there are no revisions proposed to the Zoning Ordinance for the request to exempt microblading services from Title 3 Chapter 10: Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishments, no public hearing or review by the Planning and Zoning Commission is required. Therefore, if it is the concurrence of the Economic Development Committee to proceed with staff’s recommendation, a draft ordinance will be prepared by the City Attorney for consideration at an upcoming City Council meeting. Staff and the business owner who originally sought the approval for the microblading establishment at 101 E. Center Street will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting should the EDC members have any questions.

This property is located within one and a half miles of the planning boundary for Yorkville, allowing the City the opportunity to review and provide comments to Kendall County. The petitioners, Daniel, Bruce, and Norma VanDeventer and Deborah Hull on behalf of the Wilbur C. VanDeventer Trust (current owner) and Diane and Craig Zimmerman (prospective buyer), are requesting a map amendment rezone for their property from A-1 Agricultural District to R-1 Residential District. The petitioners would like to construct a single- family home on the site and operate a home-based business. They may not do so due to the zoning requirements of the agricultural district in Kendall County. The 15.6-acre property is located north of the Galena Road and Kennedy Road intersection and northwest of the New Life Church Development. As stated in the petitioner’s findings of fact, they believe the use is compatible with other nearby uses in the area as the adjacent properties have single family homes constructed upon them. The potential owners are planning on conducting a carpentry business on the property which will conform to Kendall County’s home occupation regulations. The home occupation will be required to be located in the primary structure, not generate more than 10 trips a day by customers or employees and may only employ one person that does not live in the residence. Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Date: March 18, 2019 Subject: PZC 2019-12 – Kendall County Petition 19-08 (Rezone) 1.5 Mile Review Future Trails: Kendall County’s Land Resource Management Plan designates a future trail along Galena Road through this property. Yorkville’s Integrated Transportation Plan (ITP) designates a trail along Galena Road which ends to the west of this property (before Kennedy Road). Therefore, the City does not plan to have a trail on this property, but the petitioners should be aware of the general future transportation plans in this area. Yorkville Comprehensive Plan Yorkville’s current 2016 Comprehensive Plan designation for this property is not stated. This property is within a mile and a half of the City’s current boundary, but this property is not within the Planning Boundary of the Comprehensive Plan. This property is located on the north side of Galena Road which is in Montgomery’s planning boundary. Kendall County has given the City the courtesy of review since it is within one and a half miles of the current municipal boundary. Therefore, the City of Yorkville has no future land use designation for this property. Staff Recommendation & Comments Staff has reviewed the request for rezone and does not have an objection to the petitioner’s request. Staff is seeking input from the Economic Development Committee for this request. This review will also be brought to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the April 10, 2019 meeting.

Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble Community Development Name Department SUMMARY As the Economic Development Committee may recall, the City Council last adopted the 2009 International Code Council cycle of building codes on July 26, 2011. This Code update replaced the 2000 International Code Council cycle that was previously in place. The 2009 Codes were amended to better serve the growing community’s needs. Attached is a detailed memo of each code in the 2018 series and the proposed amendments, if any, as prepared by staff. A copy of the current building code ordinance is also included in the packet for comparison to the newly proposed amendments. BACKGROUND & REQUEST The 2018 International Codes represent the most current building standards available for adoption. City staff working in conjunction with our consultants from Building and Fire Code Academy has recommended some amendments to the Code to insure they meet the needs of our community and maintain the cohesiveness of the Codes with nearby communities. The amended Codes for the Committees consideration are the: COMMUNITY OUTREACH In order to ensure that every member of our community has a chance to participate in this process and provide staff with input, a webpage on the City’s website was created to provide a single source of information regarding the adoption process and document resources located at https://www.yorkville.il.us/692/2018-ICC-Building-Code-Adoption-Process.

A hardcopy newsletter will also be available at the front counter of the Building Department accessible to residents who drop off/pick up building related permits. Social media posts and press releases of upcoming meetings and open house will also be provided to the public. The purpose of the community outreach is to solicit comments, propose revisions and ask questions regarding the proposed code adoption. Feedback will be submitted via a standard form available on the website and accepted by the Building Department until late August, just before formal City Council consideration. SCHEDULE Below is the tentative meeting schedule for the 2018 ICC Building Code Update adoption process: DATE MEETING DESCRIPTION April 2, 2019 Economic Development Committee Preliminary review of significant changes to the Code. May 7, 2019 Economic Development Committee Review of changes and amendments to the 2018 Code. June 4, 2019 Economic Development Committee Review of changes and amendments to the 2018 Code. (If needed) June/July 2019 Open House Informal presentation of proposed 2018 Code with amendments to public. August 14, 2019 Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing of proposed 2018 Code with amendments. September 10, 2019 City Council First reading of 2018 Code with amendments adoption ordinance. September 24, 2019 City Council Final determination on adoption ordinance. EXEMPT AREAS In the past, the City has had many areas that were being held to differing editions of the International Building Codes. At this time most of the code locks have expired or the subdivision has been built out. The only remaining development that has a viable code lock is the Ashley Point (former Prestwick) subdivision located along Route 126. Ashley Point will continue to be locked into the 2009 International Codes until the expiration of the agreement on October 28, 2023. With this one exception, the proposed Code would be applicable to the entire community and help eliminate confusion as to what building requirements would apply in each area of the City. However, the City Council may elect, on a case-by-case basis, to lock or extend building code locks in the future for new annexations and amendments to existing annexation agreements. STAFF COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting a recommendation from the Economic Development Committee regarding the proposed adoption of the 2018 International Codes and the proposed amendments to that Code. It is the belief of the City staff that this update is necessary to maintain the high level of safety and quality in construction within the City of Yorkville. 1 Background: In May, of 2018, the United City of Yorkville’s Building and Community Development Departments began the process of thoroughly reviewing and analyzing our current building code ordinance. In June 2018, the City contracted with Building and Fire Code Construction Code Services Inc. (B&F), a third-party consultant in all building code related issues, to aid in the process. Over the course of several months recommendations for amendments to the 2018 International Code Council (ICC) series of nationally recognized building codes were prepared, which included provisions for new and existing buildings, residential structures, fire prevention, mechanical, fuel gas and property maintenance; along with the Illinois State Plumbing, Illinois Energy Conservation and the National Fire Protection Association electrical codes. This 2018 edition of the International Codes (I-Codes) published by the ICC is fully compatible across disciplines and is strongly encouraged to be used collectively to ensure consistency in the application of the provisions. Until now, the City enforced the construction standards under the 2009 International Code Council (ICC) series which were adopted by Yorkville on July 26, 2011. Since that time, however, there have been three (3) cycles of updates to the code series occurring in the years 2012, 2015, and most recently in 2018. After review of the 2018 ICC series and the proposal of amendments prepared by B&F, it is our belief that these codes and standards are a comprehensive, coordinated and necessary tool in regulating the built environment within our city. In addition to protecting our residents’ safety and ensuring that the most effective construction methods are utilized during construction, adopting the most up-to-date code editions allows the city to achieve high ratings with the Insurance Service Office (ISO). These high ratings can translate into discounted insurance premiums for new residential and commercial construction in Yorkville. Below is a summary of each of the eleven (11) codes that were reviewed and recommended for adoption with amendments by the Building Department and or consultants. Related supplemental materials, including significant changes to the codes from previous editions considered during the deliberation, have also been attached for your reference. 1. INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE® (2018) Summary The International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) generally pertains to the design and installation of natural gas piping systems, equipment that utilize fuel gas, gaseous hydrogen systems and related compressed gas equipment such as appliances. Other provisions in this code relate to approved materials, components, fabrication, testing, inspection, operation and maintenance of fuel gas systems, with specific criteria given for such appliances as chimney, furnaces, boilers, water heaters, room heaters and clothes dryers. This code also references the 2018 International Mechanical Code, 2018 International Building Code and 2018 International Fire Code.

Exception: In areas where the average monthly temperature is above 30°F (-1°C), a minimum temperature of 65°F (18°C) shall be maintained. Staff Comments In the discussion of the property maintenance standards, staff has taken into consideration in Section 302.2 Grading and Drainage and Section 302.4 Weeds, aesthetic issues regarding stalled residential developments which may have stockpiles of black dirt on developer owned lots. Consideration has also been given to the previously approved native prairie planting mix permitted to exceed the maximum eight (8) inch weed nuisance ordinance requirement. 8 With regard to the proposed exception to Section 602.2 Residential Occupancies, staff would note that this section, as originally written, requires all habitable rooms in dwellings to maintain a minimum room temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit with the exception to allow for a minimum temperature of only 65 degrees Fahrenheit in areas where the average monthly temperature is above 30 degrees Fahrenheit. The reasoning for the amendment is due to the International Property Maintenance Code already stipulates a minimum 68 degrees Fahrenheit is required for our regional climate. Most of the proposed amendments would make the administration of the Code more straight forward and assist in ensuring the safety of residents and homeowners in our community. 5.

INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE® (2018) Summary The International Residential Code (IRC) addresses the design and construction of one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses, and also covers regulations for all structural components, fireplaces and chimneys, thermal installation, mechanical systems, fuel gas systems, plumbing systems and electrical systems. The separation of the IRC from the other I-Codes was to allow for the residential code provisions to be distinct from the non-residential and be specifically tailored to the structure and type of occupancy that fall within the appropriate code’s scope. It is also designed to be beneficial to the plans reviewer and/or inspector by having all the I-Codes applicable to residential construction (electrical, plumbing, fuel gas, etc.) in a unified document. Amendment Recommendations 1. Section R101.1 Title, shall be amended to insert the name of jurisdiction – “United City of Yorkville”. 2. Section R105.2 Work exempt from permit, shall be amended to read as follows: Building: Delete items 1, 5, and 10 as these items shall require permitting. 3.

The requirement for fire sprinklers in single family detached homes has been removed from this code. The code provides alternative construction methods for homes that are not equipped with fire sprinklers. These methods include increased fire blocking requirements, fire rating for engineered materials, increased distance from lot line for windows and doors, and heighted requirements for heating appliances. All of which are sufficient to meet the necessary requirements for fire protection of residences and first responders. 17 7.

Appendices – Adopt the following appendices: C, F, G, I, J, K, N Staff Comments The amendments to the Building Code were proposed in order to bring greater cohesiveness between the International Fire Code, International Building Code, City Ordinances and BKFD approved best practices in new construction. 8. INTERNATIONAL EXISTING BUILDING CODE® (2018) Summary The International Existing Building Code (IEBC) is modeled to provide alternative approaches to remodeling, repairing or altering existing buildings which may not comply with the current building code requirements for new construction. Since repairs, renovations and additions/alterations of existing 21 buildings maybe restrained by budgets or even cost-prohibitive if required to meet the current standards for newly constructed buildings, the IEBC is intended to make the rehabilitation process easier by allowing for controlled deviation from full compliance while maintaining basic levels for fire prevention, structural and life safety features of the existing structure. Amendment Recommendations City staff recommends adopting the International Existing Building Code with no amendments. Staff Comments None. 9. NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (2017) Summary The National Electric Code (NEC) is published by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) and provides standards and recommended practices related to electrical safety and safeguarding people and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. The NEC is designed to cover the installation of electrical conductors, equipment, and raceways; signaling and communication conductors, equipment and raceways; and optical fiber cables and raceways in all public and private occupancy types and structures. The 2017 edition of the NEC was modeled to be fully compliant with the provisions of the 2018 I- Codes. Amendment Recommendation C. Certificate Of Occupancy: Whenever a certificate of occupancy for a business use is required pursuant to subsection 10-4-12B of this code, it shall be unlawful for a public electric utility service provider in the city to transfer the electrical service to a new or different business customer without receiving notice from the city that the city has issued a certificate of occupancy for the building or portion thereof to be occupied by that business customer's use. Staff Comments Staff has obtained and reviewed the 2017 NEC to evaluate its compatibility with the 2018 series of I- Codes. While the 2018 I Codes do place forth requirements for electrical installation they are lacking the detail and range of information provided in the 2017 National Electric Code. It is the opinion if staff that the 2017 NEC is a comprehensive code that spans from residential requirements to industrial applications. 10. ILLINOIS STATE PLUMBING CODE® (2014) Summary The 2014 Illinois State Plumbing Code has been adopted by the State of Illinois in 2014. The State mandates that all this code be used to regulate plumbing with in Illinois.

Staff Comments None. 11. INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING POOL AND SPA CODE® (2018) Summary The 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) establishes minimum requirements for the design, construction alteration, repair and maintenance of swimming pools, spas, hot tubs and aquatic facilities. Amendment Recommendations (1) Section 108.1 Add the following: The Planning and Zoning Commission function as the Building Board of Appeals. (2) Delete in their entirety 108.2 – 108.7 (3) Chapter 11 Referenced Standards – ICC delete all references to the International Plumbing Code.

After the ordinance was signed, a scrivener's error was found.

The minutes of the regular meeting of the City Council held on July 26, 2011, on page 5 state the following: Alderman Munns stated there are 3 options on the sprinkler system. The staff recommends doing sprinklers on 3500 square-foot homes and above immediately, also with 2 other options to adopt the 3500 square-feet and above in 2015, and there was a third option. The biggest issue discussed was does the city want fire sprinklers, or does the city want them in 2015. Alderman Colosimo stated he will not vote for this code if it requires fire sprinklers. City Attorney Orr asked for Alderman Colosimo to make a motion to amend the International Residential Code to eliminate any sprinkler requirements.

Structural stability of fire walls 706.2 To satisfy the intended objective of structural stability the use of a double fire wall complying with NFPA 221 is permitted as an alternative to a single fire wall. 706.2 The reference to NFPA 221 for fire wall design and construction has been expanded to permit the use of the “tied” and “cantilevered” options addressed in the standard. Topic 2012 2015 Intersections of fire barriers at roof assemblies 707.8, 707.9 The void at the intersection between a fire barrier and a nonfire‐resistance rated roof assembly now need only to be protected with an approved material rather than a fire‐resistant joint system. Horizontal assemblies and vertical openings 712 Significant reformatting in Chapter 7 now places emphasis on the presence of vertical openings rather than on shaft enclosures, recognizing the use of shaft enclosures is just one of many acceptable protective measures that can be utilized to address the hazards related to vertical openings. 711, 712 The reorganization of Section 711 and 712 has been continued such that Section 711 now contains only the construction requirements for floor and roof assemblies, and Section 712 only contains the requirements related to the protection of vertical openings.

Sprinkler systems – Assembly occupancies on roofs 903.2.1.6 An automatic sprinkler system is now required to be installed in a building when the roof is used for a Group A‐2 assembly occupancy with an occupant load exceeding 100, as well as other Group A occupancies where the occupant load exceeds 300. Multiple fire areas 903.2.1.7 Where small Group A fire areas share a common means of egress, the occupant load of the spaces must now be added together to determine if a sprinkler system is required. Sprinklers systems – Group R occupancies 903.2.8 Sprinkler requirements for Group R‐4 occupancies are now dependent on the capabilities of the occupants. In buildings where occupants required limited assistance when responding to an emergency condition, additional sprinkler protection is required for attic space. Furniture storage and display in Group F‐1, M and S‐1 occupancies 903.2.4, 903.2.7, 903.2.9 Automatic sprinkler systems are now required in occupancies where upholstered furniture or mattresses are manufactured, stored, or displayed.

Open‐ended corridors 903.3.1.2.2 Where an NFPA 13R sprinkler system is installed, the sprinkler protection must now be extended to any open‐ended corridors and associated exterior stairways, clarifying that an open breezeway is considered as an interior portion of the building and not an exterior location for the application of sprinkler requirements. Actuation of multiple fire‐ extinguishing systems 904.3.2 When two or more alternative automatic fire‐ extinguishing systems are required to protect a hazard, all of the systems must now be designed to simultaneously operate. Portable fire extinguishers in Group R‐2 occupancies 906.1 Portable fire extinguishers are no longer required in many public and common areas of Group R‐2 occupancies provided a complying extinguisher is provided within each individual dwelling unit. Fire alarm systems in Group A occupancies 907.2.1 Requirements for a fire alarm system in a building housing two or more Group A occupancies are now based on whether or not the occupancies are in separate fire areas.

Group E fire alarms 907.2.3 The threshold for alarm systems in Group E occupancies has been increased such that a manual fire alarm is required where the occupant load exceeds 50, and an emergency voice/alarm communication (EVAC) system must only be provided for the occupant load exceeds 100. (2012 had dropped thresholds to 30) Smoke detection and alarm systems in Group R‐2 college buildings 907.2.9.3 A smoke detection system, tied into the occupant notification system, is now required in certain public and common spaces of Group R‐2 college and university buildings, and the required smoke alarms within individual dwelling and sleeping units must be interconnected with the building’s fire alarm and detection system. 907.2.3 The scope of the fire alarm provisions for Group R‐2 college and university buildings has been revised to apply to facilities “operated by” the college or university whether owned by the school or not. Smoke alarms near cooking appliances and bathrooms 907.2.11.3, 903.2.11.4 Requirements from the NFPA 72 standard addressing the installation of smoke alarms near cooking appliances and bathrooms have been introduced to the IBC in order to provide direct guidance on the placement of smoke alarms. Wireless interconnection of smoke alarms 907.2.11.5 (907.2.11.3) The smoke alarm interconnection requirements are now applicable to Group I‐1 occupancies and include allowances for use of wireless alarms. Smoke and heat removal 910 The format and technical requirements for smoke and heat removal systems have been revised, including a new allowance permitting a mechanical smoke removal system as an alternative to smoke and heat vents. Carbon monoxide alarms 915 (908.7) In new and existing buildings, carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are now required in Group R and I occupancies with fuel‐burning appliances or attached garages. 915 The carbon monoxide (CO) alarm provisions have been relocated, reformatted and revised; the scope has been modified to exclude Group I‐3 occupancies while adding Group E occupancies.

Requirements pertaining to special inspection of masonry construction were deleted from Chapter 17 because the 2011 edition of TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5 and TMS 602/ACI 530.1/ASCE 6 includes requirements for quality assurance of masonry construction. 1705 Steel construction provisions modified to use new terminology that coordinates with Chapter 22 and AISC 360 standard. A new SDI standard addresses inspection of cold‐formed steel floor and roof decks (SDI QA/QC) (Section 1705.2) Special inspections required during installation of open web steel joists and joist girders. (Section 1705.2.3) Special inspection of cast‐in‐place anchors in concrete where allowable loads have been increased or strength design is used have been deleted from Table 1705.3 since specific requirements for design and installation of adhesive anchors is now included in ACI 318. Continuous special inspection is added for these anchors installed horizontally or in upwardly inclined orientations with sustained loads. (Table 1705.3) Periodic special inspection of cold‐formed steel special bolted moment frames (CFS‐SBMFs) is now mandated. Modifications to the special inspection requirements for seismic resistance have been made to clarify the intent. (Section 1705.12) 1705.17 (1705.16) Where penetration firestop systems and fire‐ resistant joint systems are used in high‐rise buildings and those building assigned to Risk Category III and IV, it is now mandatory that they be inspected by an approved inspection agency as a part of the special inspection process. Structural items moved from code to standards Chapter 19 Numerous provisions related to concrete construction were deleted from Chapter 19 because they are contained in the 2011 edition of ACI 318. Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary. (e.g. IBC Sections 1905, 1906, and 1907 were deleted because they only provided referencing to the corresponding sections in the ACI 318 standard.) 1901.3 Anchoring to concrete Sections 1908 and 1909 of the 2012 IBC, which contain the requirements for anchorage to concrete, have been deleted because they are obsolete and not consistent with current referenced standards. In their place, ne provisions on anchoring to concrete have been added to the general provisions found in Section 1901. 1904 Durability requirements The durability requirements for structural concrete have been deleted from the IBC and replaced by a reference to the durability provisions in ACI 318. 2101.2 Masonry Design Methods The references in Chapter 21 to specific sections in the Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC) code have been deleted because the 2013 edition of TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5 has been substantially reorganized to be more user‐friendly. The charging language of Section 2101.2 has been modified to simply reference TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5 or TMS 403 for the design and construction of masonry structures. Copyright © ICC.

Toilet facilities in parking garages 2902.3 Public toilet facilities are no longer required in open and enclosed parking garages and employee toilet facilities are not required in those garages that do not have parking attendants. Public toilet facilities 2902.3 Limited‐size quick‐service tenant spaces are no longer required to provide toilet facilities for the public customers. Elevator hoistway venting 3004 The elevator hoistway venting provisions of Section 3004 have been deleted; such hoistways are no longer required to be vented to the exterior. Elevator lobbies and hoistway opening protection 3006 The elevator lobby requirements have been relocated from Section 713.14.1, where they were previously included with the general shaft enclosure requirements, to Chapter 30, which addresses elevators. Provisions now focus on hoistway opening protection, with lobbies being one of three options (enclosed lobbies, additional door, or hoistway pressurization). Fire service access elevators, Occupant evacuation elevators 3007 Many of the provisions addressing fire service access elevators have now been coordinated with those applicable to occupant evacuation elevators to ensure that the fire service access elevators are able to continue to function and serve their intended purpose during an emergency. 3008 The provisions addressing occupant evacuation elevators are now more closely coordinated with those regulating fire service access elevators Existing structures Chapter 34 Chapter 34 has been deleted from the IBC in its entirety, and existing buildings will now be solely regulated by the International Existing Building Code (IEBC). Type B units in existing buildings IEBC 410 (3411) Type B units are now required in existing buildings when there is a change of occupancy or an alteration and more than 50 percent of the building is affected. Note: Because the 2015 IBC deleted Chapter 34, this provision is no longer found within the IBC. However, this requirement is located in the IEBC which is adopted by reference in IBC Section 101.4.7. In addition, because this requirement is more restrictive than the requirements of the federal Fair Housing Act, it is important code users are aware of this change. Copyright © ICC.

Stair Risers R311.7.3, R311.7.5.1 The total vertical rise in a stairway without an intermediate landing has increased from 144in to 147 in. The provision for allowing open risers has been clarified. It is based on the distance above grade or the floor below, not on the total rise of the stair. A new exception clarifies that open risers are permitted on spiral stairways. Landing for Stairways R311.7.6 For a turn in a stairway, the IRC now specifically permits angular and curved stair landing with certain dimensions less than 36 inches if the prescribed depth is provided at the walk line and minimum area criteria are satisfied. The maximum vertical rise requirement of 12 feet has been moved from the exception to a new Section R311.7.3. Spiral Stairways R311.7.10.1 The code adds a definition of spiral stairway that omits any requirement for a center post to allow for design flexibility. The code now limits the size of spiral stairways by restricting the radius at the walk line to a dimension not greater than 24 ½ ins. The method of measurement for tread depth now matches the winder provisions and measures at the intersection of the walk line and the tread nosing rather than perpendicular to the leading edge of the tread. Alternating Tread Devices and Ship Ladders R311.7.11, R311.7.12 Alternating tread devices and ship ladders have been added to the stair provisions. Neither device is approved for use as a means of egress. Ramps R311.8 Ramps that do not serve the required egress door are now permitted to have a slope not greater than 1 unit vertical in 8 units horizontal. Guard Height R312.1.2 The provision requiring that the guard height be measured from the surface of adjacent fixed seating has been removed from the code. Page 6 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

The terminology for window opening control devices has been updated for consistency with the referenced standard ASTM F 2090. Operation criteria found in the 2008 edition of the standard have been deleted from the prescriptive provisions of the IRC. R312.2 The window fall protection provisions have been revised to clarify the meaning, remove redundant language, and achieve consistency with the IBC provisions. Smoke Alarms R314 The code now specifically recognizes wireless technology in lieu of interconnection for smoke alarm installation in both new and existing dwelling units. The interconnection provisions have been moved out of the sections related to location and power source and placed in a new section. R314 Battery-operated smoke alarms are permitted for satisfying the smoke alarm power requirements when alternations, repairs, and additions occur. Household fire alarm systems no longer require monitoring by an approved supervising station. New provisions address nuisance alarms related to devices installed near bathrooms and cooking appliances. Carbon Monoxide Alarms R315 The code now specifically recognizes carbon monoxide detection systems with separate detectors and notification appliances installed in accordance with NFPA 720. R315 Carbon monoxide alarms now require connection to the house wiring system with battery backup. Exterior work such as roofing, sliding, windows, doors, and decks and porch additions no longer trigger the carbon monoxide alarm provisions for existing buildings. An attached garage is one criterion for requiring carbon monoxide alarms, but only if the garage has an opening into the dwelling. A carbon monoxide alarm is required in bedrooms when there is a fuel-fired appliance in the bedroom and adjoining bathroom. Carbon Monoxide detection systems only require detectors installed in the locations prescribed by the code and not those locations described in NFPA 720. Thermal Barrier R316.4 Reference to a new standard, NFPA 275, replaces references to previous standards for determining an acceptable thermal barrier material other than 1/2– inch gypsum wallboard. R316.4 23/32-inch wood structural panels satisfy the thermal barrier requirements for foam plastic insulation. Thermal Barrier for Floors R316.5.13 New provisions allow the installation of structural insulated panels and other materials containing foam plastic insulation as part of a floor system without requiring a thermal barrier on the upper surface. The code requires a minimum ½-inch wood structural panel or equivalent material to protect the foam plastic insulation. Flood Hazards R322.1, R322.2 Section R322.1 is modified to emphasize that the provision applies to existing buildings in flood hazard areas where 50% or more of the structure has damage and requires restoration. Section R322.2 limits the minimum elevation allowed for dwellings in flood hazard areas and defines a Coastal A Zone. Coastal High-Hazard Areas R322.3 Coastal A Zones are defined and an exception for foundation types in Coastal A Zones is added. Page 7 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

This section conflicted with Section R502.6, which contains minimum bearing lengths for all joists and headers. Decks R507 All deck provisions have been relocated to a new section. The prescriptive provisions related to the placement of bolts and lags for deck ledger attachment to the band joist have been revised to correlate with the National Design Specifications (NDS) for Wood Construction. Deck Ledger Connection to Band Joist R507.2 The deck ledger section is reorganized to better describe the minimum requirements for connection of deck ledgers to band joists. Alternative Deck Lateral Load Connection R507.2.4 When the prescriptive deck lateral load connection that has appeared in the previous editions of the code is chosen as a design option, the code now requires the two hold-down devices to be within 2 feet of the ends of the deck. A new lateral load connection option prescribes four hold-downs installed below the deck structure. Decking R507.4 The code sets the maximum allowable spacing for deck joists supporting the various types of common decking materials. Deck Joists and Beams R507.5, R507.6, R507.7 New sections and tables provide prescriptive methods for joists and beams in deck construction. Section R507.5 describes requirements for deck joists, Section R507.6 lists requirements for deck beams, and Section R507.7 describes minimum bearing requirements for joists and beams.

Fastener Schedule for Structural Members Table R602.3 (1) Table R602.3 (1) now includes requirements for nailing roof trusses to plates, abutting studs at intersecting wall corners, and connection of rim board to sill plates. Table R602.3 (1) The Fastening Schedule now contains multiple nail size options. Roof rafter connections at ridge, valley, and hip are revised. Double top plate splicing is clarified. Clarification of the joist-to-band-joist (rim board) connection is added. Stud Size, Height, and Spacing R602.3.1 Table R602.3.1 is deleted and the exception for walls greater than 10ft tall is added to the text of Section R602.3.1. If studs in a tall wall meet Exception 2, they meet the requirements of the IRC and do not need engineering or use of an alternate standard. Headers R602.7, Table R602.7.1 The code now includes prescriptive provisions for single member headers under limited conditions. R602.7, Tables R602.7(1), R602.7(2), R602.7(3), R602.7.5 The girder and header span tables of Chapter 5 have been moved to the header section in Chapter 6, Multi-ply and single header tables are combined. A new section describing rim board headers is added. Braced Wall Lines R602.10.1 The section has been reorganized to address braced wall lines only, including provisions for spacing and offsets. Braced Wall Panels R602.10.2 Information on braced wall panels has been placed in one section. Braced wall panels now may be located up to 10 feet from both ends of the braced wall line.

Wind wall bracing adjustments have been placed in a separate table from the bracing requirements based on wind speed. Table R602.10.3(1) Table values for bracing requirements based on wind speed have changed slightly due to use of ultimate design wind speed values to calculate required bracing length. Construction Methods for Braced Wall Panels R602.10.4 Bracing construction methods and the allowable mixing of bracing methods have been grouped into a single section. Braced wall lines that change from exterior to interior wall lines may now mix bracing methods along the braced wall line. Minimum Length of a Braced Wall Panel R602.10.5 Braced wall panel minimum lengths are combined in Table R602.10.5. Other braced wall panel length information also is placed in this section. Table R602.10.5 The contributing length of continuously sheathed portal frames (Method CS-PF) in low-seismic regions has increased by 50% Construction of Methods ABW, PFH, PFG, CS-PF, and BV-WSP R602.10.6 This change places all of the alternate braced wall panel methods into one section and adds a new Method BV-WSP, Wall Bracing for Dwellings with Stone and Masonry Veneer in Seismic Design Categories D 0 , D 1 , and D 2. R602.10.6.2 Due to recent testing of Method PFH (Portal Frame with Hold-downs), the minimum required capacity of the hold-downs is lowered to 3500lbs in the 2015 IRC. Additionally, the new testing confirms that two sill plates are sufficient under each braced wall panel of the portal rather than the three plates used in Method PFH for the 2012 IRC.

A fifth end condition is defined for braced wall panel connections. When a 48-inch braced wall panel is at the end of a wall line, the code does not require a return panel or hold-down at the corner. Braced Wall Panel Support R602.10.9 Concrete stem walls 48 inches long or less and that are less than 6 inches thick require reinforcement similar to narrow masonry stem walls for supporting braced wall panels. Cripple Wall Bracing R602.10.11 A reduction is no longer required in determining the maximum distance between braced wall panels in a cripple wall. References to the bracing length adjustment tables clarify that increased bracing is required if gypsum wall finish is not applied to the cripple wall. Simplified Wall Bracing R602.12 This new section offers an alternative method to braced wall lines for detached dwellings located in SDC A, B, C and townhouses in SDC A or B. The code also places limitations on wind speed, exposure category, building size and other criteria. R602.12 Simplified wall bracing is now allowed for one-to three-story dwellings and townhouse in Wind Exposure Category B or C with ultimate design wind speeds (V ult) of 130 mph or less. Structural Sheathing over Steel Framing for Stone and Masonry Veneer R603.9.5 Section R603.9.5 addressing the bracing requirements for cold-formed steel framing with stone or masonry veneer has been expanded to include the higher seismic design categories.

Provisions for notching of cantilevered rafters are placed in a new section, and the nominal dimension is replaced by the actual minimum dimension of 3 ½ inches for the remaining portion of the rafter. A new section clarifies the limits for taper cuts on the ends of ceiling joists. Two new figures aid in determine the correct application of cantilevered rafters and ceiling joist taper cut requirements. Roof Uplift Resistance 802.11 The provisions for roof connections to resist wind uplift forces have been updated to current standards and simplified for ease of use. Table R802.11 has been replaced to provide accurate values for both low- and high-slope roofs in Wind Exposure Categories B and C. Roof Ventilation R806 The provisions for minimum vent area have been revised by placing two exceptions after the general rule to clarify the meaning. The exception for reducing the ventilation area when a vapor retarder is installed on the ceiling now only applies to cold- weather climates. The reduction in vent area based on cross ventilation now requires no less than 40% and no more than 50% (previously 50% and 80%) of the required ventilating area to be placed in the upper portion of the roof and no more than 3 feet below the ridge. The requirement for the upper vents to be at least 3 feet below the ridge. The requirement for the upper vents to be a least 3 feet above the eave vents has been removed. Unvented Attic Assemblies R806.5 The unvented attic provisions apply to rafter assemblies typically used for vaulted or cathedral ceilings in addition to conventional attics. References to vapor retarders now specify the applicable class as defined in Section R202. Insulation board installed as an air-impermeable barrier must have the edges sealed to provide a continuous barrier.

Cost estimates are aggregated in ranges of high to low based on various methods or components that might be used to comply with the code. METHODOLOGY National Construction Cost Reference houses and their site locations were initially defined in a report titled Estimated Costs of the 2015 Code Changes.2 The four reference houses were selected for their similarity to new home offerings in the six metropolitan areas selected as site locations - Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, and Chicago, and their size proximity to a national average of 2,607 SF.3 Elevations and floor plans for these reference houses are provided in Appendices C through F. These single-family detached houses define the reference or base house that provides the starting point for estimation of the added cost (or savings) of each code change for the 2018 IRC relative to the 2015 IRC or IECC. Cost impacts in this analysis have been developed primarily with data adapted from the following sources: (1) RSMeans’ Residential Cost Data 2017;4 (2) ASHRAE 1481 RP5 and similar reports by Home Innovation; (3) U.S. government reporting from the Census6 and the Bureau of Labor Statistics;7 and (4) distributors’ or big box retailers’ websites. Where a source other than these is used, it is cited in Appendix A when applicable to a specific code change. Costs are reported at the national level and can be modified for a region using builders’ known bid prices or by applying a location factor adjustment shown in Appendix B. For individual code changes shown in Appendix A, costs are reported as both total to the builder and total to consumer. The total cost to builder includes overhead and profit (designated in the tables as “w/O&P”) applied to individual component costs (i.e., materials and labor) to represent the cost charged by the sub-contractor. The total cost to consumer is based on the builder’s gross margin, reported as 18.9% of construction cost in the 2016 Cost of Doing Business8. The cost summaries shown in Table 6 and Table 7 show the total cost to consumer only. 1 International Code Council, www.iccsafe.org/Pages/default.aspx 2 www.homeinnovation.com/trends_and_reports/featured_reports/estimated_costs_of_the_2015_irc_code_changes 3 Taylor, Heather. 2014.

(Table 2). Table 1. New Construction Foundation Types Slab 54% Crawlspace 17% Basement 30% Table 2. New Construction Number of Stories One-story 53% Two-story 43% Three-story 3% The Census data supports defining the four reference houses as follows to encompass approximately 85% of the last decade’s new single-family construction: • One-story on slab foundation • Two-story on slab foundation • One-story on basement foundation • Two-story on basement foundation Table 3 covers the locations where each type of reference house foundation would be pragmatically constructed. All of these selected cities, except Chicago, lie within the top ten states for construction starts in 2013.10 Chicago was selected to represent a Climate Zone 5 house. Table 3.

October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs 4 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes RESULTS Estimated Cost of 2018 Code Compliance for Reference Houses by Location Table 6 summarizes the estimated cumulative impact of the 2018 code changes on the cost of constructing the reference houses. For the purpose of cost aggregation, it was assumed that reference houses were not built in coastal zones or subject to flooding. The aggregated costs are reported in ranges of “High” and “Low” impact based on the applicability of the changes to the features of the reference houses. These changes typically affect elements required or provided in the majority of houses constructed, or non-mandatory code provisions likely to be used by a builder. The results are grouped into four climate zone categories to accommodate the energy efficiency changes in this code edition. Table 7 summarizes the cost estimates of the code changes that do not apply to the selected reference houses and locations and are not included in the aggregated summary. These changes typically apply only in specific locations (e.g. hurricane-prone areas or flood zones), to items that would be an optional feature for most homes (e.g. decks), or to alternative methods of compliance. Those costs can be added to or subtracted from the aggregated costs in Table 6 as applicable to a particular location or a specific building.

This code change proposal revises the seismic design category map. The revised map represents an update of the previous map based on a new analysis of earthquake faults conducted by the USGS and increases to the site amplification factors for stiff soils and soft rock. For some jurisdictions located at the boundaries between the adjacent seismic design categories, the result is shifting to a higher seismic design category (see Table R-1-A). It is also noted that in some areas the change results in a downgrade of the seismic design hazard and lowering of assigned seismic design category. Table R-1-A. Summary of Changes to a Higher Seismic Design Category SDC Change Where impacted? Impact A → B Multiple locations of limited geographical area around the country in non-seismic areas. No impact on construction. B → C A few locations around the country with low-to-moderate seismicity with rural or mountainous areas in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah the primary areas impacted. Some areas in Oklahoma, New England (particularly New Hampshire) and around the New Madrid Seismic Zone are also impacted. Limited impact on townhouse construction in SDC C. B → D0 Isolated areas in rural Colorado and Utah. Substantial impact on bracing provisions. C → D0, D1, D2 Isolated areas around the country including eastern Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Utah. Substantial impact on bracing provisions. D0, D1, D2 → E Areas in California, coastal Oregon, and coastal Washington, and near Charleston South Carolina (all primarily D2 → E). Engineered design is required. Cost Implication of Code Change: The cost impact of transitioning from seismic design category C to seismic design categories D0 and D2 is evaluated for a one-story and a two-story reference home based on a structural analysis report for those two homes12. The results are summarized in Tables R-1-B through R-1-E. In addition, several structural engineering firms from different regions of the country were contacted for estimates of their engineering fees for wall bracing design. Engineering fees from the survey averaged $1,150 for an analysis, documentation, and drawings based on the reference homes ($1,367 to consumer). The cost of 12 Jay H.

The cost of construction is not included in this scenario. Given a broad range of design tools available to engineers, it is possible that the use of engineering design will allow for optimized solutions for the building that do not result in construction cost increases relative to generic prescriptive options. However, other engineers, particularly those not familiar with residential construction, may make conservative simplifications or assumptions, in which case an engineered design may result in additional construction cost increases. Several geotechnical engineering firms from different regions of the country were contacted for estimates of their fee to conduct a study to determine soil type and seismic design category. Engineering fees ranged from $950 to $2,200 for a soil test and report. One firm in California quoted $500 for a report without a field study based on using their map library and the seismic hazard maps published by the State of California and various cities and counties. They indicated that in some cases local jurisdictions accept this type of analysis for assigning seismic design categories. The additional cost of a geotechnical report can be offset by the savings in construction costs in the case where the report showed a downgrade in seismic design category. Table R-1-B.

October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs A-6 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes R-2 (RB160) IRC R322.3.3 Foundations, R322.3.4 (new) Summary of Code Change: For coastal high-hazard areas (Zone V) and Coastal A Zones, the code change adds new requirements for exterior concrete slabs – used for parking, floors of enclosures, landings, walkways, patios, and similar uses – that are located beneath structures, or located such that if undermined or displaced during base flood conditions the foundations could sustain structural damage. The provisions are based on ASCE 24-14 Flood Resistant Design and Construction. Slabs must either be constructed to break up under flood conditions (structurally independent, frangible, no reinforcement, no turned down edges, no more than 4 in. thick) or designed to resist flood loads, erosion, and scour. Cost Implication of Code Change: This code change is adapted from FEMA Technical Bulletin 5 (Free of Obstruction Requirements). The section of Technical Bulletin 5 that discusses frangible slabs shows two post-flood photos of a parking pad situated below an elevated building with a raised pile foundation, a common residential coastal construction practice. It recommends that the slab have contraction joints placed at 4-ft. squares to encourage failure. Reinforced slab Frangible slab Frangible Slab The first method of compliance can result in cost savings if a slab is unreinforced, is limited to a 4-in. thickness, and has the recommended control joints. The analysis is conducted on a 14 x 20 ft. parking slab. Table R-2-A shows the cost savings of this method.

It may be possible to construct a stair with partially-open risers that allow floodwaters to flow through and around the stair, but do not allow a 4-in. diameter sphere to pass, in which case 7.5 in. risers could be used and there would be no additional cost. The code applies to all stairways below the lowest floor elevation for homes built in V Zones and Coastal A Zones. In addition to exterior stairs leading to the front door, they can also have stairs that access an enclosed garage below the first floor. In those cases, the builder may choose to simply install a retractable stairway.

Cost Implication of the Code Change: There may be a cost savings for a stair landing serving a deck or porch or a porch floor that will now be able to use single-ply beams. There may be additional cost savings where a single-ply beam permits the use of 4x4 posts instead of 4x6 posts. The cost analysis focuses on two example scenarios. Example 1: a freestanding 5'x5' landing 4' above grade, serving an elevated deck, may now use one 2x8 beam (at both ends, for a total of 10 LF) instead of two 2x8 beams. Further, the supporting posts may now be 4x4 instead of 4x6; there are four posts, each 10' long (4' above grade, 3' below grade, and 3' above the landing to support railing). Table R-4-A shows the associated cost savings. Example 2: a freestanding 10'x12' deck 4' above grade, may now use one 2x12 beam instead of two 2x8 beams (24 LF total). Further, the supporting posts may now be 4x4 instead of 4x6; there are six posts, each 6' long (4' above grade and 2' below grade). Table R-4-B shows the associated cost savings. Table R-4-A.

The table allows footing selection based on soil bearing capacity (1500, 2000, 2500, >3000 PSF), live or ground snow loads (40, 50, 60, 70 PSF), and tributary area (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 SF). Cost Implication of the Code Change: There may be a cost savings over the American Wood Council's DCA 6 “Prescriptive residential wood deck construction guide” footing sizes, which are based on 1500 PSF soil and an interior post. DCA 6 is not mandated by code, so there may be a cost increase where jurisdictions currently allow a smaller footing (e.g., a 12" diameter sonotube). The cost analysis compares footing requirements for an example deck for two soil bearing capacities (1500 and 3000 PSF) and two live/snow loads (40 and 60 PSF). The example deck is assumed to be freestanding, 20' x 14' (280 SF), supported by six posts with tributary areas of 70 SF for the two interior posts and 35 SF for the four corner posts. Table R-5-A shows the cost to provide and place a cubic foot of concrete; the table includes the labor cost to excavate the footing by hand (it is assumed that a backhoe digs the hole to the top of the footing and this backhoe cost is constant for all footings). Table R-5-B shows the cost savings for the example deck, using a square footing for the 40 PSF design load and a round footing for the 60 PSF design load. The cost analysis also compares footing requirements for the same example deck to the case where the jurisdiction previously allowed a 12" diameter, 6" thick footer for all posts. Table R-5-C shows the cost increase for the example deck using a square footing for the 40 PSF design load and a round footing for the 60 PSF design load, both for 1500 PSF soil bearing capacity (worst case for increased costs).

Cost Implication of Code Change: There may not be a cost impact for most applications. There may be a cost increase for a 3-ply beam on a post cap with a 4x4 post where the deck post height exceeds 6'-9 but does not exceed 8'. In this case a 4x6 post is now required.

The table allows selection of stud size (2x4 and 2x6) based on stud spacing (12", 16", 24"), ultimate design wind speeds (115, 130, 140 MPH), and maximum roof/floor span (12', 24'). The table is applicable where the building is located in Exposure B, the live roof load does not exceed 20 PSF, the ground snow load does not exceed 30 PSF, and studs and plates are #2 grade lumber or better. Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost savings where standard studs can be used in lieu of “tall stud” options, such as laminated strand lumber (LSL) studs, for bearing stud walls exceeding 10’ but not exceeding 12' (e.g., walls of step-down garages, tall foyers or great rooms or portions of such rooms). Further, there may be a cost savings where engineering analysis is not required for such walls. The cost analysis focuses on an example room, 24' x 24', with walls 12' tall, attached to the side of a house (so 48 LF of bearing wall). For this analysis, labor for a wall with standard studs is assumed to be the same as a wall with LSL studs. Table R-7-A shows the cost of studs. Table R-7-B shows the cost savings of building this room using 2x4 studs instead of 2x4 LSL studs, all 12" oc. The analysis is based on 1.25 stud/LF wall to account for typical framing requirements for 12" oc construction (per RSMeans Assemblies section). Table R-7-C shows the cost savings of building the example room using 2x6 studs instead of 2x6 LSL studs, all 24 oc.

The revised table adds two ultimate design wind speed and exposure categories (<140 mph Exposure B or <130 mph Exposure C; ≤115 mph Exposure B), deletes the maximum stud spacing requirements, and revises the maximum header spans (4' to 18' in 2' increments). Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost savings where fewer king studs are required. The cost analysis focuses on the four Reference Houses in Climate Zones 1-2 (2x4 studs) and Climate Zones 3-8 (2x6 studs). Each of the four Reference Houses have different opening widths and opening quantities. Table R-8-A shows the reduced number of king studs required based on a 115 MPH urban or dense suburban location. Table R-8-B shows the number and size of openings for the Reference Houses.

Cost Implication of Code Change: For Climate Zones 4C and 5 through 8, there may be a cost savings to omit a Class I or Class II vapor retarder where a Class III vapor retarder is applied to the interior side of frame walls. The IRC considers interior latex or enamel paint to be a Class III vapor retarder (>1 and ≤10 perms), and two coats are assumed in this analysis to meet the requirement. The cost analysis focuses on two scenarios: 1) the cost savings of not installing a Class I vapor retarder (sheet polyethylene); and 2) the cost savings of installing unfaced fiberglass batts instead of a Class II vapor retarder (Kraft-faced fiberglass batts) in wall stud cavities. Table R-9-A and Table R-9-B show the cost savings of both scenarios for an assumed wall area of 2,000 SF (similar to the Reference Houses). Table R-9-A.

Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost increase depending on cladding type. Cladding manufacturers typically require installation in accordance with the IRC, but the 2015 IRC did not require a WRB for detached accessory buildings, so compliance represents an additional cost for claddings that require a WRB on a house, including vinyl siding and fiber cement lap siding. There is no additional cost for detached accessory buildings with face-sealed cladding. The cost analysis focuses on two common WRBs, building paper and house wrap, for two example detached accessory buildings: 1) 8' x 8' shed, 7' high; and 2) 24' x 24' garage, 8' high, with 6:12 gable roof and two 9' x 7' garage doors.

A new table shows minimum tie spacing (vertical/horizontal) by wind speed (110, 115, 130, and 140 mph) and Exposure Category (Exposure B, C, and D) using corrosion resistant ring shank nails (0.091" or 0.148" dia.) or screws (#6, 8, 10, or 14). The tie spacing is determined based on Zone 5 (wall edge zone) wind pressures. Cost Implication of Code Change: The code change may represent a cost increase due to 1) a more expensive fastener in all cases, and 2) the greater number of brick ties required where tighter spacing is required. The code change may also represent a labor cost savings due to not needing to locate studs through foam sheathing. For 2015, the minimum tie fastener was one corrosion resistant 8d common nail (Table R703.8.4) (0.131" dia.), and maximum tie spacing was 32" horizontally and 24" vertically with each tie supporting not more than 2.67 SF (R703.8.4.1) (typical spacing was 32"H/12"V or 16"H/24"V). The cost analysis focuses on three scenarios, all for an example 2,000 SF wall: 1. The additional cost using ring shank nails, 0.148" diameter, 3" long, for foam up to 2" thick, for an application with the same tie spacing requirements as prior (e.g., 24/16 spacing, for 115 mph wind, Zone 5, Exposure B), for a 2,000 SF wall. (Table R-11-A.) 2. The additional cost for the same scenario as above except with 16/16 spacing (e.g., 115 mph, Zone 5, Exposure C or D, or 130/140 mph, Zone 5, Exposure B). (Table R-11-C.) 3. The potential labor cost savings, estimated at 25%, to not locate the studs through the foam, for both spacing scenarios above. (Table R-11-B and Table R-11-D.) Table R-11-A.

Where no labor savings accrue, high cost is $325 and low cost is $26. Where labor savings always accrue, high cost is $176 ($325-$149) and low cost is -$73 ($26-$99). The maximum range is $325 high cost for greatest number of additional ties and nails but no labor savings assumed, and -$73 if only nail size changes and full labor savings are assumed. The tables are: optional in CZ1 and CZ2 as continuous insulation is not required; optional in CZ3 through CZ5 for 2x6 walls as continuous insulation is not required but required for 2x4 walls where R-5 continuous insulation is required; required for CZ6 through CZ8 where either R-5 or R-10 continuous insulation is required. Applicability of Code Change: This code change is applicable to houses with brick veneer. October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs A-24 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes R-12 (RB327) IRC R806.5 Unvented attic and unvented enclosed rafter assemblies. Summary of Code Change: The code change adds a new option for insulating an unvented attic using air-permeable insulation installed just below the roof deck (e.g., blown fiberglass in netting hung from the roof trusses/rafters, referred to as netted/blown) if vapor diffusion ports (i.e. a ridge vent covered with a vapor permeable membrane such as a strip of house wrap or vapor permeable roofing underlayment) are installed (≥ 1:600 ratio of vapor diffusion port area to ceiling area, vapor permeance rating of membrane ≥ 20 perms) and minimum air flow from the HVAC system is provided (≥ 50 CFM per 1,000 square feet of ceiling area). The code change is limited to Climate Zones 1, 2, and 3 and roof slopes ≥ 3:12. Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost savings compared to unvented attics insulated using spray foam, a flash-and-batt method (thinner layer of spray foam applied at the interior side of the roof deck and covered with fiberglass batt insulation, referred to as flash/batt), or foam sheathing above the roof deck and fiberglass batts below. The cost analysis focuses on Reference Houses 1 and 2 in Climate Zone 2 or 3 (R-38 insulation prescriptively required). Table R-12-A shows the cost impact for Reference House 1, with an unvented attic, by comparing netted/blown fiberglass insulation, with vapor diffusion ports and HVAC supply branch, to closed-cell spray foam at the roof deck. Table R-12-B compares netted/blown fiberglass to a flash/batt approach for Reference House 1. Table R-12-C and Table R-12-D make the same comparisons for Reference House 2. For all tables, a component marked with an asterisk (*) indicates cost data is based on internet pricing (for vapor permeable roof membrane, membrane tape, and counter-flash tape over membrane tape) or estimated based on pricing provided by the product manufacturer (for netted/blown fiberglass).

For Climate Zones 3 and 4 except 4C, the maximum window U-factor decreases from 0.35 to 0.32. For Climate Zones 4C and 5-8, the maximum window U-factor decreases from 0.32 to 0.30. The maximum window U-factor did not change for Climate Zones 1 and 2, and SHGC values did not change for any climate zone. Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost increase to comply with the code change depending on the window manufacturer and model. Some data (see below) indicates a cost increase to comply with the code change. The cost analysis is investigated using cost data collected from the U.S. Department of Energy13. Based on this data, an incremental cost of $0.18/SF window area is used for both sets of U-value improvements. Table E-1-A shows the estimated cost increases for the four Reference Houses (window areas are defined in Table 5). The Department of Energy and EPA Energy Star along with those involved in the development of energy codes have traditionally had problems developing a clear incremental cost for changes in window thermal performance. In this analysis, prices used to develop the incremental cost associated with the code changes are a best guess based on the available data. Table E-1-A.

The code change provides the criteria to explicitly allow ducts buried, or partially buried, within ceiling insulation in vented attics (“buried ducts”) as an option in lieu of suspending them from the roof framing. The sum of the insulation above and below the duct is at least R-19 total, excluding the duct R-value; minimum required duct insulation is R-8 except in Climate Zones 1A, 2A, and 3A where the minimum required supply duct insulation is R-13. Additionally, the code change allows buried ducts to be modeled using an effective duct insulation value of R-25 where certain criteria are met: the duct is located directly on the ceiling or within 5.5 in. of the ceiling; the duct is surrounded with ceiling insulation of at least R-30; the duct is covered on top with at least 3.5 in. of ceiling insulation (approximately R-11 assuming a minimum R-value of R-3.2 per in.). Cost Implication of Code Change: Compared to conventional attic ducts, there may be a cost increase to install buried ducts (where R-13 supply ducts are required, and where additional ceiling insulation above the ducts is required), and concurrently there may be a cost savings to install buried ducts (labor and material savings for shorter duct runs installed at the ceiling plane instead of high in the attic). The analysis does not include a potential reduced cost associated with installing a lower capacity HVAC system. The cost analysis will focus on Reference Houses 1 and 2 in all climate zones. Reference Houses 1 and 2 were selected because those have ducts and air handlers in the attic (Reference Houses 3 and 4 have ducts and air handlers in the basement). The area of supply ducts is assumed to be 23% of conditioned floor area, and the area of return ducts is assumed to be 7% of conditioned floor area. These values are consistent with ACCA and ASHRAE standards. For the two-story house, 60% of the duct area is assumed to be in the attic (the second floor represents approximately 60% of the floor area of the house). For the one-story house, 100% of the duct area is assumed to be in the attic. In Climate Zones 1A-3A, R-13 duct insulation is required for supply ducts that are buried or partially buried. For this component, the cost analysis is based on R-5 (installed R-value, 2" thick) foil-faced duct wrap installed over R-8 supply ducts. (Ducts installed in attics are most commonly R-8 insulated flexible ducts; R-13 flexible ducts are not commercially available yet; R-13 duct wrap (foil-faced, non-perforated) installed over rectangular metal duct or un-insulated flexible duct is a viable approach but such duct construction is not as common for ducts in attics). Table E-2-A shows the cost impact to install buried ducts for Reference Houses 1 and 2 in all climate zones. For this prescriptive path, it is assumed that no additional ceiling insulation is required. Labor and material savings is estimated at 15%.

The code change provides the criteria to explicitly allow ducts buried, or partially buried, within ceiling insulation in vented attics (“buried ducts”). The sum of the insulation above and below the duct is at least R-19 total; minimum required duct insulation is R-8 except in Climate Zones 1A, 2A, and 3A where the minimum required supply duct insulation is R-13. Additionally, the code change provides the criteria to allow buried ducts to be modeled as being located inside conditioned space: the air handler is located inside conditioned space (not the attic); duct leakage is within prescribed limits (1.5 CFM25/100SFcfa, measured either by a rough-in stage test or post- construction stage total-system-leakage-to-outdoors test); the R-value of insulation above the duct is at least the proposed ceiling insulation R-value, used in the model, less the R-value of the duct insulation. Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost increase to install buried ducts based on the additional criteria. There may be a net cost savings where buried ducts are installed in lieu of building an unvented attic or installing ducts inside conditioned space (i.e., below the ceiling plane within framed bulkheads). The cost analysis for the prescriptive component of this change is provided in section E-2. The cost analysis for the performance component of this change will focus on Reference Houses 1 and 2 in all climate zones (same as prescriptive component). The analysis does not include a potential reduced cost associated with installing a lower capacity HVAC system or a potential cost increase associated with a higher level of duct sealing. The analysis does include the cost to build a mechanical closet to house the air handler that is no longer in the attic; credit is taken for omitting pull-down stairs for attic access. The analysis also includes the additional ceiling insulation required above the ducts: minimum R-25 in Climate Zones 1A, 2A, and 3A (R-38 ceiling insulation less R-13 ducts; it is understood that this could be reduced in Climate Zone 1 that requires minimum R-30 ceiling insulation, but this was not calculated separately); minimum R-41 in Climate Zones 4-8 (R-49 ceiling insulation less R-8 ducts). Table E-3-A shows the cost impact to install buried ducts in accordance with the performance criteria for Reference Houses 1 and 2 in all climate zones. Note Climate Zones 2B and 3B are unique compared to Climate Zones 2A and 3A because R-13 supply ducts are not required.

The minimum HRV/ERV efficacy is the same as required by ENERGY STAR Canada. Prior to the change, an HRV/ERV was generally classified as an in-line fan (minimum fan efficacy 2.8 CFM/Watt), so in effect the code change relaxed the minimum fan efficacy requirement for an HRV/ERV. Cost Implication of Code Change: Many HRV/ERV models already meet the new requirement, so no cost change is expected in many cases. The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) publishes HRV/ERV performance and energy data14. A review of this database shows there is a wide selection of models that meet or exceed 1.2 CFM/Watt. Manufacturer product data is also available on manufacturer web sites. The fan efficacy is not a published number and may need to be interpolated based on product data. Further, different data points may provide different fan efficacy ratios. There may be a cost decrease in cases where a builder substitutes an HRV/ERV with a lower fan efficacy (less than 2.8 CFM/Watt but still greater than 1.2 CFM/Watt) as shown in Table E-4-A (note: the models shown are the lowest capacities for each model that meet the 2.8 or 1.2 CFM/Watt efficacy requirements).

It also adds a backstop for houses complying with the ERI using on-site generation, so houses must still meet mandatory requirements and minimum insulation and fenestration requirements. Cost Implication of Code Change: The revised ERI target values correspond to a house that on average is about 5-15% more efficient compared to a house designed using the prescriptive path (using the ERI Index scale). The 2015 ERI target values correspond to a house that on average is about 10-20% more efficient. Therefore, this code change is expected to decrease costs for builders who are using the optional ERI path for code compliance. This report does not identify individual measures or quantify their cost savings. A general discussion is offered below for context. In a separate study15, Home Innovation reported the predicted HERS indices for over 300 typical house configurations simulated to meet the 2015 IECC minimum requirements and then simulated with high efficiency heating and cooling equipment. The summary of results for an average sized house (2,352 SF not including basement) is shown in Table E-5-A. The results of the study indicate that the 2018 ERI targets can be achieved in large part by upgrading the efficiency of the heating and cooling equipment in combination with using an enclosure that meets the prescriptive code requirements.

October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs A-34 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes E-6 (RE127) IECC Section R404.1 Lighting Equipment (IRC Section N1104.1) Summary of Code Change: The code change increases the percent of permanently installed lighting fixtures that must contain high- efficacy lamps from 75% to 90%. Cost Implication of Code Change: The revised percent of fixtures that must contain high efficacy lamps will result in a slight cost increase. Incandescent and halogen bulbs will generally not meet the efficacy requirements in the IECC to qualify as a “high-efficacy lamp” (60 lumens per watt for greater than 40 watts) and, by definition, all CFL and LED lamps would be classified as high-efficacy. Based on surveys of big box retailers, the average cost of an incandescent 60-watt lamp is $0.97, the average cost of a 60-watt equivalent CFL lamp (13 -watt, 800 lumens) is $2.20, and the average cost of a 60-Watt equivalent LED lamp (10-Watt, 800 lumens) is $1.97. Assuming the average home requires 40 lamps for the permanently installed fixtures, this would require a net increase of 6 high-efficacy lamps per house. The resultant cost increase is shown in Table E-6-A. Table E-6-A. Cost increase for increased number of high efficacy lamps Component Unit Material Labor Total w/O&P Qty Cost ($) 60W incandescent lamp EA 0.97 0.97 1.07 (6) (6.40) 60W equivalent LED lamp EA 1.97 1.97 2.17 6 13.00 Total to Builder 6.60 Total to Consumer 7.85 Applicability of Code Change: This code change is a mandatory requirement that is applicable to all homes in all climate zones. Home Innovation Research Labs October 2017 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes A-35 M-1 (RM36) IRC M1601.4.1 Joints, seams and connections (ducts). Summary of Code Change: The code change eliminates the requirement for sealing longitudinal seams of snap-lock and button-lock types of HVAC ducts located inside of conditioned space. Cost Implication of Code Change: The code change represents a cost savings where metal ducts with longitudinal seams are installed inside conditioned space. The cost analysis focuses on cost savings per linear foot of metal duct inside conditioned space for the reference houses. Consistent with the 2012 IRC cost study, the reference houses are assumed to have a main trunk serving each story. Ducts are assumed to be metal snap-lock when located within the first and second floor framing and insulated flexible duct in attics. Rectangular metal ducts are assumed to have two longitudinal seams, and round metal ducts are assumed to have one longitudinal seam. All ducts for Reference House 1 are assumed to be in the attic so there is no cost savings. For Reference House 2, 40% of the ducts are assumed to be inside conditioned space (the first floor is approximately 40% of the total floor area of this house). For Reference Houses 3 and 4, all ducts are inside conditioned space. Table M-1-A shows the estimated cost of sealing metal ducts using duct mastic applied with a brush. The material and labor costs are based on product manufacturer data for typical applications (125 linear feet per gallon of mastic; one-hour labor per gallon), internet pricing (for material cost), and RSMeans (for labor cost). Table M-2-B shows the cost savings to not install duct mastic on longitudinal seams of ducts inside conditioned space for the reference houses. Table M-1-A. Estimated cost to seal ducts ($/LF).

Reviewed By: Legal Finance Engineer City Administrator Human Resources Community Development Police Public Works Parks and Recreation Agenda Item Number New Business #10 Tracking Number EDC 2019-39 Utility Box Art Economic Development Committee - April 2, 2019 N/A N/A N/A Discussion of proposed art applications to utility boxes within the downtown. Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble Community Development Name Department Summary At the request of Alderman Frieders at a recent Public Works Committee meeting, staff is seeking input and direction regarding establishing a pool of qualified artist to commission art applications (such as paintings, murals, etc.) on utility boxes or other utilitarian structures (poles, fire hydrants, manhole covers) within the downtown. The attached information from the City of Aurora’s Public Art Commission “Utility Box Mural Project” is included for your reference. Background The discussion at the recent Public Works Committee meeting regarding this request centered around the city potentially creating a preferred list of local and area artists to use in the commissioning of artwork on unsightly structures in the downtown, such as the utility box located at the southwest corner of IL 47 (Bridge Street) and Van Emmon. Alderman Frieders referenced the success the City of Aurora had with creating a “cache” of local artists as part of the implementation of their “Utility Box Mural Project” Since the area envisioned for creating a similar project was geared towards the downtown, it was decided that the Economic Development Committee would best for furthering this discussion with staff. City of Aurora Public Art Commission In June 2018, Aurora Downtown, comprised of a group of business and property owners, spearheaded a collaboration with Aurora Public Art Commission and the Aurora Downtown Streetscape Committee to engage artists in bring more art to the community. The focus was specifically geared toward painting murals on key utility boxes located within an existing special service area in downtown Aurora. The name of businesses, organizations, or individuals sponsoring the painting of a utility through donations would be recognized with a placard at the base of the mural. The sponsors would select their preferred utility box, if it is within the city limits, and even indicate a preference for specific artist deemed eligible by the art commission. The artist would the use the template provided Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Date: March 21, 2019 Subject: Utility Art Box by the commission to communicate a colored sketch proposal. The first art installations were finished in late summer of 2018. In addition to the attached project information from the City of Aurora’s Utility Box Mural Project, images of a competed utility box art installation can be viewed here: http://auroradowntown.org/painted-utility-boxes-add-color-artistic-touch-to-downtown-aurora/ Proposed Discussion Considerations Staff is encouraged by the interest of the committee to explore potential solutions to invigorating the downtown, particularly with public art. Public art installations are a great planning/design tool for segments in a community, such as: neighborhoods, business districts and tourist areas to brand an image, solve an existing aesthetic problem, convey history, or attract new visitors and prospective residents. While the utility box art installations are an option for Aurora, it may not be the best opportunity for public art in Yorkville’s downtown. This is due to the limited number of city- owned and maintained utility boxes and their location. Most are either owned by private utility companies or the railroad and located on private property or within the state right-of-way. To have a successful public art campaign, it is highly recommended that the object and/or site be in the control of the city. In downtown Yorkville, options for installations on utilitarian structures could include light poles, fire hydrants and even manhole covers. Some of these ideas were also recommended in the draft proposal of the Downtown Streetscape Masterplan prepared by Farr Associates. The ownership of the location/object is important as stewardship and future maintenance of artwork guarantees the artwork itself doesn’t become another eyesore. The city should consider how it will budget for the future maintenance of the artwork over the years. Staff Comments Staff is seeking feedback, input and direction regarding establishing a pool of qualified artist to commission art applications (such as paintings, murals, etc.) on utility boxes or other utilitarian structures (poles, fire hydrants, manhole covers) within the downtown.

After review and discussion, the Committee recommended that short-term rental uses be outright permitted in the residential districts without any license or permit to acquire. The initial regulations (see attached) were deemed as to onerous and committee members wanted to view this use similarly to a home occupation. This memorandum outlines the proposed changes to the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance as a result from that discussion. PROPOSED REGULATIONS: After discussing the initial text amendments to the Zoning and Business codes, it was determined to permit short-term rental uses in all residential districts without requiring a permit, license, or special use. Therefore, a definition of a short-term rental will need to be added to the Zoning Ordinance and the Permitted Use Table will have to include the newly defined use. Please see the proposed changes below: 10-2-3: DEFINITIONS: SHORT-TERM RENTAL: A home occupation of a single-family dwelling unit that is used as a primary residence by owners or renters, or a portion of such unit, that is rented for less than 30 days at a time to transients and temporary guests. 10-6-0: USE TABLES: TABLE 10.06.01 – RESIDENTIAL USES Use Category Zoning Districts A-1 OS-1 OS-2 E-1 R-1 R-2 R-2D R-3 R-4 O B-1 B-2 B-3 B-4 M-1 M-2 Short-Term Rental - - - P P P P P P - - - - - - - Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Date: March 14, 2019 Subject: PZC 2019-05 Short Term Rental Regulations NEXT STEPS: Staff is seeking comments from the Economic Development Committee regarding the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. A public hearing for these changes will be held in front of the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 10, 2019. ATTACHMENTS: 1. February 14, 2019 Economic Development Committee Memorandum 1 BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, technological innovations have driven the availability of sharing services to the public through the use of smart phones and web applications. Some examples include vehicle sharing, ride sharing, payment sharing, and home sharing services. The home sharing service is one that cities and communities around the country are struggling to understand and properly regulate. In terms of zoning, the biggest issue with these “short-term rental” properties is determining if and when the land use changes from residential to commercial. A majority of municipalities do not allow hotels and motels, typically considered a commercial use, in their single family residential districts, as these uses tend to increase traffic, noise, and activity. The debate over short-term rentals of residential properties is whether these uses are considered residential, commercial or something new entirely. This memorandum details the City’s current regulations and how staff recommends addressing short-term rentals to maintain the health and safety in our residentially zoned areas. EXISTING REGULATIONS: Currently, the City of Yorkville has no official regulations regarding short-term rental properties. The Zoning Ordinance does define “bed and breakfast inn” as well as “hotels/motel,” and permits each in the following districts: Land Use A-1 OS-1 OS-2 E-1 R-1 R-2 R-2D R-3 R-4 O B-1 B-2 B-3 B-4 M-1 M-2 Bed and Breakfast Inn S - - S S - - - - - S S S - - - Hotel/Motel - - - - - - - - - - - P P P - - * “S” Denotes permitted as a special use While these uses have definitions and areas where they are allowed, short-term rental properties are not the same as either of these uses. Both of these uses would be considered businesses which provide services to guests and visitors. A bed and breakfast is a type of hotel that typically keeps its residential qualities but provides meals and other activities for its users. Hotels/motels are specific businesses which are expressly used only for transient and temporary living situations. Those who use their primary home as a short term rental property do not personally provide food, services, or entertainment to those staying at their residence as these Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Date: February 14, 2019 Subject: PZC 2019-05 Short Term Rental Regulations 2 businesses would. Therefore, short-term rental properties should be defined as its own use and be regulated separately from these land uses. At the time of the drafting of this memorandum, there is only one property being advertised for rent in Yorkville on the two largest home-sharing providers: AirBNB and VRBO1. There are several additional availabilities in Sandwich, Plano, Oswego, and Aurora (search criteria was for the January 19-20, 2019 weekend). While it does not seem like short-term rentals are currently a large issue within Yorkville at the moment, the City is trying to be proactive in its effort with this popular trend. The City needs guidelines and set expectations if this trend grows in the area as to not only react to complaints once it arrives. LEGAL ISSUES: The controversy over how to regulate this new industry has caused legal challenges across the country and in the state. Chicago passed an ordinance in 2016 which has been met with many legal challenges. The City of Chicago adopted a large and thorough ordinance which creates a registration program for those who wish to rent out their home, and they must also obtain a license. The complexity and enforcement of this ordinance has created problems for Chicago and its residents. Uneven enforcement and delays in licensing cause home owners renting their property to either not be able to register or result in escalating fines which they cannot afford. In terms of legal issues nationally, the most contested cases include cities which outright prohibit short term rentals or those that regulate it to the point of nonexistence. This can include regulations which require the owner to live at the property while it is being rented, while also registering for a business license and paying taxes to the local municipality. An 80% drop in short-term rentals was the result of Santa Monica, California enacting these strict rules which were adopted in 2015. Yorkville will have to find a balance between preserving the safety and quality of life for its residents, while allowing the rental market to run smoothly. Additionally, before suggesting or enacting any city ordinances, potential and current state legislation must be reviewed, as Yorkville is a non-home rule community. There is an Illinois State bill which was filed in February 2017 titled SB1735 which is a statewide short-term rental regulation bill. The bill has not been adopted and currently has no further date for review or adoption. While this bill has not been passed, it is important to plan for its potential passing, as it would affect any language Yorkville adopts. In SB1735, it provides that units of local government may not enact or enforce an ordinance, regulation, or plan that has the express or practical effect of prohibiting short-term rentals. The bill does, however, allow for a municipality to regulate short-term rentals to protect the public health and safety. This would allow local governments to impose zoning regulations if the government can demonstrate that the regulation is necessary to protect the public health and safety, such as fire and building codes, traffic control, and waste control. The bill would also allow local governments to apply sales taxes and hotel/motel taxes on short-term rentals. Also, 1 www.airbnb.com; www.vrbo.com 3 the bill includes a home rule preemption, so if this legislation passes, it would apply throughout the state. Finally, staff has confirmed with our legal counsel that the City is permitted to regulate short- term rentals as a non-home rule community. With the understanding of the current legal issues facing short-term rentals, the City of Yorkville is able to draft regulations which protect the health and safety of the community while allowing short-term rentals to operate properly. HOW OTHER MUNICIPALITIES REGULATE SHORT-TERM RENTALS There are four basic ways that local governments have addressed short-term rentals and each contain their inherent positive and negative consequences: Permit them without any regulations Permitting short-term rentals without any regulation may cause problems in the future if the amount of short-term rentals grows and potentially impacts single-family communities. Allow them but make them obtain a license or permit Making individuals obtain a license or permit gives the municipality some oversight into regulations of rental properties and where they are located. It also allows for those renting their dwellings to be subject to any municipal hotel/motel tax. Allow them as part of a special use or conditional use Similar to obtaining a license, by making short-term rentals a special or conditional use, the municipality would make those who would like to rent their dwellings to go through a public hearing process. This allows staff, committees, and board members to add conditions to any short-term rental throughout the process and makes each approval of a short-term rental a case by case basis. Prohibit them outright Prohibiting them outright removes all the potential negative impacts short-term rentals may have but opens the municipality to legal challenges and can cause the city to lose potential hotel/motel tax income. Currently, if a use is not identified in the Yorkville City Code, then the use is considered prohibited. In terms of how Yorkville’s neighbors have handled short-term rentals, please view the table below: Municipality How is it Addressed? Montgomery Short-term rentals are not currently addressed in the zoning ordinance. The Village is currently updating their code and may create some regulations. Oswego Short-term rentals are not currently addressed in the zoning ordinance. 4 Plano Short-term rentals are not currently addressed in the zoning ordinance. Sugar Grove Short-term rentals are not currently addressed in the zoning ordinance. Plainfield Short-term rentals are not currently addressed in the zoning ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance has extensive regulations regarding Bed and Breakfast establishments which the City may use if a short-term rental is becoming a frequent nuisance. Joliet Short-term rentals are not currently addressed in the zoning ordinance. Naperville Short-term rentals are not currently addressed in the zoning ordinance. As one can see, the adjacent communities have not yet addressed the short-term rental land use and only Plainfield uses its current regulations to somewhat address the issue. The City will have to provide a balanced set of regulations to ensure the process is not too cumbersome, while also giving City staff enforceability and oversight on the short-term rental market. In terms of communities in Illinois, not many have addressed the short-term rental situation. Although, the Village of Riverside, Illinois in Cook County has recently adopted an ordinance which regulates “vacation rentals” which is defined similarly to short-term rentals. Riverside is a small non-home rule community with a population of about 9,000 people. Their ordinance (attached) includes common definitions for vacation rentals as well as details on their licensing process and procedures. It also covers prohibited acts and potential penalties for violating the ordinance. DETERMINE GOALS AND OUTCOMES: Before regulations may be drafted, it is best to determine the goals of the ordinance to ensure language is drafted to produce the desired outcome. Since short-term rentals are not a current issue within the City but could be a concern for single-family home owners, the main purpose of the regulations should be to preserve and maintain the quality of life and safety for those within the residential districts. Additionally, the regulations should support the city’s long term planning goals and support its hotel/motel industry. It will be important that the City does not prohibit or have the practical effect of prohibiting short-term rentals. Other than the legal challenges the regulations would face, it would be beneficial for the ordinance to regulate and promote short-term rentals, as visitors will likely patronize local businesses. PROPOSED REGULATIONS: The two Titles within the Yorkville Municipal Code which will need to be amended are “Title 10 Zoning” and “Title 3 Business and License Regulations.” The amended regulations in the zoning section will outline the requirements to conduct a short-term rental while the amendments in Title 3 will add definition and licensing procedures. 5 The following regulations are being proposed to be added as Section 10-3-15 (Zoning): 10-3-15 SHORT-TERM RENTALS A.

In addition to the annual license fee, the applicant is also responsible to pay for the cost of fingerprinting, which is regulated by the State of Illinois. The applicant is also responsible to pay for the cost of a background check which shall be fifty dollars ($50.00). E. A license may be suspended or revoked for failure to pay the fees pursuant to the procedures in Section 3-1-12. 3-14-5 LICENSE REVOCATION; 3 YEAR WAIT FOR NEW LICENSE: If a vacation rental license is revoked for any cause, no license shall be granted to any person for the operation of a short-term rental at the property described in the revoked license, or to the revoked licensee, and his or her co-owners, or the partners, members, managers, or officers of any owning partnership, limited liability company or corporation, for a period of three (3) years from the date of revocation. 9 COMMENTS ON PROPOSED REGULATIONS: Staff has drafted this language in an attempt to provide regulations which meet the previously mentioned goals without deterring potential short-term rental users. The following is an explanation behind the reasoning for why some regulations were included and some were omitted: Regulation Included? Purpose Dispersal of Units Yes Ensures that certain areas of town or a neighborhood are not overrun by short-term rentals. Enforcing this regulation will be on a first come, first serve basis. Those who have a license first will be considered established and all future applicants will need to be dispersed from that dwelling. In the case of two rentals operating illegally and being cited, the first applicant to receive a license legally will be considered established. Annual License Renewal Yes Allows the City to be aware of any change in the license holders information. Also, keeps an up to date list of permitted license holders. Owner Occupies While Renting No While this regulation is used in some places but seems very cumbersome and would be hard to enforce. Special Use Permit No A public hearing process may be too restrictive and deter those from short-term rental opportunities. Additionally, if the trend grows in the area then a significant amount of staff time will be dedicated to determining where these short-term rentals are allowed. In terms of license fees, reviews were conducted externally as well as internally. The table below illustrates the fee structures for other communities with short-term rental regulations: Municipality Fees Chicago, IL $250 annual fee Riverside, IL $500 initial fee, $250 annual renewal fee Evanston, IL $50 annual fee Internally, staff reviewed the licensing process being proposed and compared it to other licensing procedures within the City. In terms of amount of staff time and similar requirements for licensees, our recommendation models the same regulations for solicitors, tattoo and body piercing 10 establishments, and adult business establishments within Yorkville. These each require a $100 annual fee and require a $50 background check as the proposed short-term rental regulations. Staff chose to recommend the fee amount similar to other City license procedures as our staff size and existing practices are known quantities. Additionally, the fees and regulations of other communities may deter potential short-term rental applicants and may not be in proportion to the amount of staff time it will take to process a license application. NEXT STEPS: Staff is seeking comments and guidance from the Economic Development Committee regarding the proposed regulations for Short-Term Rental Units. The proposed regulations will be reviewed by the Administration Committee and a public hearing will be held at a regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting. Once all parties have seen and reviewed the proposed amendments, a final draft will be reviewed by City Council. The dates have not yet been set for these meetings as staff is seeking direction from the Economic Development Committee on the initial draft before proceeding to the next review stages.
