AS AMENDED a bill for an ordinance amending the Building and Fire Code of the City and County of Denver. Amends Article II, Chapter 10 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code, the 2019 Denver Building and Fire Code and the 2019 Denver Green Code to correct errata found after the initial adoption in December of 2019. The Committee approved filing this item at its meeting on 6-15-21. Amended 7-12-21 to extend the time-frame in which major projects that have received approval by the city to be designed under the 2016 building and fire codes are to receive permits and begin construction. The amendment replaces the package of building and fire code amendments filed previously with the clerk, with a revised set of amendments that allows approved major projects designed under the 2016 building and fire code to receive permits and begin construction by April 22, 2022.
June 18, 2021 and replace with July seven, 2021 on page one line 22 Excuse me, strike 20210056a and replace with 20210059. Thank you. It has been moved. May we get a second? So I can. Thank you. Councilmember Flynn. Questions or comments by members of council? Councilmember Herndon. Thank you, Madam President. The purpose of this amendment is to extend the time frame in which major projects that have been that have received approval by the city to be designed under the 2016 building, and fire codes are to receive permits and begin construction. This amendment replaces the package of building and Fire Code amendments filed previously with the clerk, with the revised set of amendments that allows approved major projects designed under the 2016 Building and Fire Code to receive permits and begin construction by April 22nd 22. Specific changes are found in Denver Building Code Administration Section 103.10 .2.6 and Fire Code Section 102.13.2.6. The prior set of amendments required permits to be obtained and construction commenced by July 31st, 2021. And if you have any questions, we do have Eric Browning from Community Planning Development. That can answer any questions folks may have. All right. Great. Thank you. Councilmember Herndon. I see Councilmember Sandoval. Go ahead, please. Thank you, Madam President. Eric, thanks for joining us. Can you explain what this does? Yes. Good afternoon and thank you. Eric Browning, the interim building official for Community Planning and Development. Thank you for having me this evening. The amendment simply changes the date by which those major projects designed under the previous codes, the 2015 and 2016 codes needed to start construction. The Department recognized that due to the catastrophic effects of COVID, many of these projects lost their financing over the last year and have been struggling to get it back and that the prior date that was in the code July 31st, 2021, would not have been reasonable for these projects to get under construction and were this date to come to pass. All of these projects would expire, costing them literally millions of dollars in lost time and redesign to upgrade to our current set of codes, the 2019 Denver Building and Fire Code. So this is a recognition of the economic impacts of these projects and a longer version of the time from which they can start construction . But this this would be separate than his zoning permit rights for some of the zoning permits, like the old home tax amendment that's expiring right now. That wouldn't have any impact because there was a project in my council district that needed that was under this building fire code for July 31st. But then it also had a different zoning permit. They're not correlated, correct? They're separate. Correct. Yes. These are only building fire code amendments. This and this revision is under MSI Chapter ten and has no effect on zoning code. And then do you know how many projects are impacted? How many projects are we doing this amendment for? Yes. So there are, we estimate, between 50 and 55 projects that this could positively impact. All of these projects have started sort of valuations of $5 million or more. Many of them are in the tens of millions of dollars, and some of them are even over 100 million. So we're talking about very large developments to offer one additional piece of information. There are about 60% of these projects are for housing. And so we're talking about 6500 housing units being affected by this by this change, 1500 of which are affordable housing units as well. So we really feel the need for this to be approved. Can you after we after you're done, can you send me the list of 50 or 55 projects if you have them, so that I can know which ones and if any are in my council district that I would like. I would prefer to have the whole entire list, if you could. Yes, absolutely. All right. Thank you, Madam President.
