Campbell weighs publishing abbreviated building code ordinance
Campbell plans to publish only changes to its proposed building code after board approval. The 490 inch code would cost about 2416 dollars to print as is, so officials may publish only references to unchanged sections. The draft adds limits on unrelated residents, raises building permit costs, and introduces electrical licensing rules.
