File Number: 22-390 As a key implementation strategy of the 2021 Climate Action Plan, staff recommends adopting local “reach code” amendments, which require newly constructed residential and non -residential buildings to be all-electric and increase electric vehicle (EV) charging requirements. The reach code amendments are part of the Green Building Code. The reach codes would apply to new construction projects proposed after January 1, 2023. Limited exceptions are proposed due to technical infeasibility and /or cost-effectiveness for the following: ·Development projects submitted to the City for review prior to January 1, 2023; ·Attached Accessory Dwelling Units; ·Industrial Buildings; ·Nonresidential and mixed-use buildings containing kitchens located in a place of public accommodation (may utilize fuel gas in commercial cooking equipment); and ·Hotels and Motels with eighty or more guestrooms (may utilize fuel gas in commercial clothes drying equipment) Recommended reach code requirements for EV infrastructure include: Residential ·Single Family: o One dedicated EV ready Level 2 circuit; and o One dedicated EV ready Level 1 circuit if there is a second parking space. ·Multi-Family: o 40% of units with parking spaces, Level 2 EV Charging Stations; or o 60% of units with parking spaces, Level 1 EV Ready. ·Affordable Multi-Family: o 15% of units with parking spaces, Level 2 EV Charging Stations; o 25% of units with parking spaces, Low Power Level 2 EV Ready; and o 60% of units with parking spaces, Level 1 EV Ready. Non-Residential Office ·20% of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Charging Stations installed; and ·30% of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Capable. Non-Residential, Non-Office ·10% of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Charging Stations installed; and ·10% of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Capable. The proposed reach code will reduce carbon emissions and improve indoor air quality, safety, and the resiliency of San Leandro’s building stock. Resolution of Local Condition Findings Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, and 17958.7 require the City Council to make findings regarding local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions before adopting local amendments to the State-adopted California Building Standards Code. The proposed amendments to the building standards codes are based primarily on earthquake and soils conditions in San Leandro. Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/13/2022
