OLD BUSINESS: 

20.    MUNICIPAL SERVICES COMMITTEE: PREPARATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8 OF THE PASADENA MUNICIPAL CODE REQUIRING THE ELECTRIFICATION OF BUILDINGS IN CERTAIN
         SPECIFIC CATEGORIES

         Recommendation
: It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)
     
Adopt the Environmental Determination that the proposed project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code § 21080(b)(9);
         Administrative Code, Title 14, Chapter 3, § 15308, Class 8, Actions by Regulations for the Protection of the Environment);

         (2)
     
Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance and return within 60 days amending the Pasadena Municipal Code by amending Title 8, Health and Safety Code requiring the electrification of buildings in certain specific
         categories; and

         (3)
     
Consider the proposed electrification requirements as recommended by staff in the agenda report, and direct staff to return to the City Council within one year of the effective date of an ordinance to review implementation and
         consider broadening the scope to include single-family residences, accessory dwelling units (ADU), and junior accessory dwelling units (JADU). 

         Environmental Advisory Commission (EAC) Recommendation:
The proposed building electrification requirements were presented to the Environmental Advisory Commission (EAC) on May 10, 2022. The EAC supports the
         proposed ordinance, although they did recommend broadening the scope to include newly constructed single-family residences, accessory dwelling units (ADU) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADU).

        
As noted, the EAC is recommending that the requirements be expanded to include single-family and ADU’s. This is not the staff recommendation at this time based on a few reasons. First, staff recognizes that multi-family and
         commercial projects are most often designed and constructed by industry professionals who are prepared for code changes such as these and have experience in designing and permitting to new code requirements. Staff would like
         to establish and monitor the process with this segment of projects before extending this to single-family and ADU projects that are most often permitted by a non-professional homeowner. Second,
the City of Pasadena received a
         grant from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to assess the City’s ADU permitting processes to remove barriers and to identify where improvements can be made to accelerate ADU production.
  To avoid
         any conflicts with this program, ADU’s should be exempt from additional regulations until completion of the project, which is anticipated to wrap up in the Fall of 2022. Lastly, in January 2023 the State Building Code will be amended
         to require that single-family construction be “electric ready” meaning it is constructed so that it can be converted to all-electric should this be a choice of the homeowner. This would set-up future single-family residences to be
         prepared for, and designed as, all-electric when the City’s requirements go into place rather than requiring homeowners to redesign their projects in advance of these changes at a substantial cost and time delay.
