Specifically, the third exception to Section 4.106.4 Electric vehicle (EV) charging for <br />new construction was incomplete and should defer to baseline 2022 code standards for projects <br />exempt from reach code standards. Staff recommends that the third exception to Section 4.106.4 <br />Electric vehicle (EV) charging for new construction be revised during this second reading. A <br />revised copy of Article 6 is attached to the Ordinance in Attachment A. <br />Resolution of Local Condition Findings <br />Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, and 17958.7 require the City Council to make <br />findings regarding local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions before adopting local <br />amendments to the State-adopted California Building Standards Code. The proposed <br />amendments to the building standards codes are based primarily on earthquake and soils <br />conditions in San Leandro. Proposed findings include a map showing areas prone to <br />liquefaction, fault line proximity and areas of corrosive soils. These findings are incorporated in <br />the draft Resolution included as Attachment B. <br />Environmental Review <br />The proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act <br />(CEQA) in that it is not a Project that has the potential for causing a significant effect on the <br />environment under Title 14 of the CCR, Section 15061(b)(3). No further environmental review is <br />necessary. <br />Public Notice and Outreach <br />The City held stakeholder listening sessions on the development of the reach codes in February <br />2022. Approximately 20 individuals, including commercial property owners, commercial tenants, <br />and representatives from the industrial/manufacturing and residential development sectors <br />participated across four listening sessions. Their input was incorporated into the draft reach <br />codes. Public presentations to the Planning Commission and City Council were provided in April <br />2022 to provide a summary of feedback received and staff’s recommendations on the <br />development for each reach code policy. <br />Because the California Building Standards Code will be adopted by reference, a public hearing <br />Page 5 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/2/2022
