<br />ORDINANCE NO. 1868
<br />SERIES 2023
<br />AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2018 INTERNATION-
<br />AL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE AS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THE
<br />REPAIR AND REBUILDING OF HOMES THAT SUSTAINED SMOKE,
<br />HEAT, WATER, ASH OR OTHER DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE
<br />MARSHALL FIRE
<br />WHEREAS, on December 30, 2021, the Marshall Fire ignited in unin-
<br />corporated Boulder County and quickly spread to the City of Louis-
<br />ville, resulting in severe damage or total loss of almost six hundred
<br />(600) structures within the City of Louisville, most of them residen-
<br />tial homes; and
<br />WHEREAS, also on December 30, 2021, the Mayor of the City of
<br />Louisville, pursuant to Chapter 2.32 of the Louisville Municipal Code
<br />and C.R.S. § 24-33.5-709, executed a Declaration of Local Disaster
<br />Emergency in and for the City of Louisville, which Declaration was
<br />thereafter continued in effect by resolution of the City Council, and
<br />the Governor of the State of Colorado also issued a Declaration of
<br />Statewide Emergency in response to the Marshall Fire; and
<br />WHEREAS, on January 1, 2022, President Joseph R. Biden approved
<br />a Major Disaster Declaration for the Event (DR-4634-CO) beginning
<br />on December 30, 2021 and continuing thereafter; and
<br />WHEREAS, the structures damaged and destroyed by the Marshall
<br />Fire comprise significant portions of several residential subdivi-
<br />sions within the City; and
<br />WHEREAS, the City regulates building and construction standards
<br />in Title 15 of the Louisville Municipal Code (the "Building Code");
<br />and
<br />WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 1816 adopted on October 19, 2021, the
<br />City Council adopted, with certain amendments, the 2021 Interna-
<br />tional Energy Conservation Code with Appendix RC Zero Energy
<br />Residential Building Provisions (the "2021 IECC"); and
<br />WHEREAS, the 2021 IECC adopted by Ordinance No. 1816 replaced
<br />the previously -adopted 2018 Edition of the International Energy
<br />Conservation Code (the "2018 IECC"), which also included and re-
<br />quired certain energy conservation measures; and
<br />WHEREAS, many of the City's residents affected by the Marshall
<br />Fire have learned they may be significantly underinsured and will
<br />thus face financial hardships rebuilding their fire -damaged homes;
<br />and
<br />WHEREAS, the 2021 IECC includes energy conservation measures
<br />that increase the cost of construction over the 2018 IECC and, al-
<br />though grant funding, rebates and other resources have been iden-
<br />tified to defray these costs, residents remain concerned that the fi-
<br />nancial burden and potential delay that could result by complying
<br />with the 2021 IECC will affect their ability to rebuild their homes;
<br />and
<br />WHEREAS, the City Council finds that repairing and rebuilding
<br />of homes lost to the Marshall Fire is essential to maintaining the
<br />fabric of the community, and that allowing those who face financial
<br />hardship to repair and rebuild in accordance with the 2018 IECC will
<br />still result in homes that are significantly more energy efficient
<br />than the homes that were destroyed; and
<br />•
