Adoption of the 2025 California Fire Code
Summary
The city was still operating on 2016 fire code standards. Adopting the 2025 code keeps the city enforceable and retains a stricter local sprinkler rule: businesses over 5,000 square feet need sprinklers, versus the state's 15,000-square-foot threshold.
