These <br />codes are designed for adoption by state and local governments. <br />The purpose of the Standard Code is to protect the public's life, <br />health, and welfare in the built environment. The use of <br />performance-based requirements encourages the use of innovative <br />building designs, materials, and construction systems while at the <br />same time recognizing the merits of the more traditional' materials <br />and systems. This concept promotes maximum flexibility in building <br />design and construction as well as assuring a high degree of life <br />safety. <br />The Code incorporates, "�y reference, nationally recognized consensus <br />standards for use in judging the performance of materials and sys- <br />tems. This provides for equal treatment of both innovative and tra- <br />ditional materials and systems, provides for efficient introduction <br />of new materials into the construction process, and assures a high <br />level of consumer protection. <br />The Standard Codes are updated annually with revisions, and a new <br />edit -ion is published every three years. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />Currently the Indian River County Ordinance requires the use of the <br />1988 Edition of the technical codes. At the meeting of the Indian <br />River County Building Code Board of Adjustments and Appeals held Mon- <br />day, November 6, 1989, The Board voted unanimously to recommend to <br />the Board of County Commissioners the adoption of the 1989 revisions <br />to the technical codes as follows: <br />STANDARD BUILDING CODE (SBC) 1988 Edition, Including <br />Appendix "A", with 1989 Revisions. <br />Ref: Article II, Section 4-31 <br />31 <br />L_ JAN 2' 1990 <br />BOOK 6 F't1a �� 7 <br />
