Pursuant to Ohio R.C. 731.231, there is hereby adopted by and for the Municipality the Ohio Basic Building Code (OBBC), being particularly the most current edition thereof, as adopted by the Ohio Board of Building Standards, Department of Commerce, Department of Industrial Relations, and as published in Division 4101:2 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC), save and except such portions thereof as may be hereinafter amended or deleted.
(Ord. 52-1998. Passed 3-2-98; Eff. 4-2-98.)
The purpose of the OBBC, as adopted in Section 1731.01, is to:
(a) Provide uniform minimum standards and requirements for the erection, construction, repair, alteration and maintenance of buildings, including construction of industrialized units, such standards relating to the conservation of energy, safety and sanitation of buildings for their intended use and occupancy;
(b) Formulate such standards and requirements, so far as is practical, in terms of performance objectives, so as to make adequate performance for the use intended the test of acceptability;
(c) Permit, to the fullest extent feasible, the use of materials and technical methods, devices and improvements, including the use of industrialized units, which tend to reduce the cost of construction and erection without affecting minimum requirements for the health, safety and security of the occupants or users of buildings or industrialized units and without preferential treatment of types or classes of materials or products or methods of construction; and
(d) Encourage, so far as may be practical, the standardization of construction practices, methods, equipment, material and techniques, including methods employed to produce industrialized units.
