(with few exceptions) and more expansive electric vehicle charging infrastructure than required under the baseline California Building Code to be installed with new construction. This action has an estimated cumulative reduction of 10,100 MTCO2e' through 2030. • Action P3 Modify Municipal Code Definition of "Covered Projects" [In Progress]. This action was included within the omnibus update to the Municipal Code approved by City Council on March 21, and April 18, 2023. The amendment means that additional development projects would be considered "covered projects" under the City's green building requirements in Chapter 17.50 of the Municipal Code, and thus required to comply with the Green Building ordinance. This action has an estimated cumulative reduction of 1,300 MTCO2e through 2030. • Action P4 Solar and Battery Storage [Completed 2023]. The updated California Building Codes effective January 1, 2023, require solar on most new buildings including new single-family residences, multi-family with 10 stories or less, hotels/motels with 10 stories or less, and non-residential buildings with three stories or less. In many instances where solar is required, so too is an energy storage system. This item was added to the CAP checklist such that future development projects will be reviewed for compliance with this requirement. The City processed approximately 100 solar photovoltaic permits in 2022 and this number is expected to increase in 2023 due to the new codes, as well as the extension of federal tax credits and other incentives for installation. This action has an estimated cumulative reduction of 2,300 MTCO2e through 2030. • Action S3 Municipal Facilities [In Progress]. This action includes several aspects including improving energy efficiency and improving resilience to municipal facilities. One aspect of this action that is in progress is identifying critical facilities to install solar and battery back-ups. The City is working with East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) to complete a feasibility study and assessment of City facilities and outline the procurement process for such installations. The goal is to see installations begin by the end of 2023. Transportation and Land Use • Action E3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and Trails Master Plan Implementation [In Progress].
