Recommendation
That the Council reviews and comments on this report and provides direction to staff.

SUMMARY
Hayward’s current Reach Code, a local amendment to the State Building Code, will expire on December 31, 2022. To continue the current requirements that prohibit or limit the use of natural gas in new buildings and to continue to require increased electric vehicle charging infrastructure, a new ordinance must be adopted. This report presents a framework and considerations for a new Reach Code that may be adopted this year. Staff is requesting Council feedback on the proposed Reach Code updates to help inform preparation of a draft ordinance.
