Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
CPD and DFD adopted and amended - based on Denver specific criteria - a series of nationally developed regulations, through an open and public process, to advance the health and safety and long-term viability of the city through said codes in January 2023. Since then, clarifications, corrections, and revisions to some sections of code language, primarily in Building, Energy, and Fire codes have resulted in the need for a minor update. The revisions to the ordinance within this suite of codes reflect those changes.
