The Alamosa City Council will hold a work session on Wednesday, March 11, to discuss how Colorado’s wildfire resiliency codes affect local municipal building codes.
The state is requiring cities to adopt its 2025 wildlife resiliency code by April 1. Alamosa is trying to figure out how the codes apply to new construction and exterior renovations of properties, and whether an expanded part of the city limits is subject to the wildfire code.
The city “highly encourages” anyone who has an opinion or questions on this topic to attend this public meeting either in person or via Zoom, said Jasmine Husmann, communications specialist for the city.
To attend via zoom using the following information: Webinar Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86442667578 or Dial-In Number: +1 719 359 4580 US | Webinar ID: 864 4266 7578.
The work session will be held in city council chambers at 6:30 p.m. Public comments, 3 minutes each, will be heard at the end of the work session.
In order to meet the state-mandated requirement of having the wildfire code adopted by April, the city council will vote on the item at their regularly scheduled meetings on March 18 for first reading and April 1 for second reading. Both meetings will allow time for public comment.
