JOINT WASTE TIRE ABATEMENT GRANT APPLICATION 2023 -2024 Manuel Medrano, Environmental Services Manager Background: •California generates 51 million waste tires generated each year. •25,000 waste tires are estimated to remain in stockpiles throughout California. •These stockpiles potentially threaten public health, safety, and the environment. How is this issue being addressed? •The California Tire Recycling Act of 1989 (AB 1843) •A fee is assessed on the sale of new tires •California’s waste tire management and recycling efforts are divided into two functional areas: a)Permitting and enforcement activities b)Recycling and market development activities. Local solution: •Regional/Joint grant with the City of San Diego •Education & Outreach •5-year duration •Illegal dumping abatement •Otay Valley Regional Park Thank you www.chulavistaca.gov/sustainability Printed on Recycled Paper, Naturally! 276 FOURTH AVENUE  CHULA VISTA  CALIFORNIA 91910  (619) 409-3893  FAX (619) 476-5310 MEMO Office of Sustainability DATE: November 9, 2023 TO: Sustainability Commission FROM: Cory Downs, Conservation Specialist VIA: Monica Rodriguez, Sustainability Commission Secretary RE: Building Decarbonization Working Group Update Chula Vista Decarbonization Working Group Recommendation to the Sustainability Commission To help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, local air pollution and help achieve the Climate Action Plan objectives 3.2 clean energy sources and objective 3.3 energy efficiency upgrades, which have the goals of transitioning new buildings to a Zero Net Energy design and increasing the amount of energy efficient appliances being installed in homes, City staff leveraged resources provided by the Statewide Reach Code team (https://localenergycodes.com) to evaluate studies looking at the impacts of adopting various reach codes that go beyond the state’s minimum code. Because the studies indicated that, for Chula Vista, an all-electric home with a larger than required solar system helps lower the upfront price of homes and has lower annual energy utility bills than a mixed fuel home, City staff initiated the Chula Vista Building Decarbonization Working Group to solicit feedback from diverse community stakeholders. The working group had 23 members and held 11 meetings and one public forum from July 2021 through August of 2022. Further analysis for the 2024 Climate Action Plan Update indicates that decarbonizing the building stock is a key emission reduction strategy for reaching net-zero by 2045 goals and focusing on new construction is a low impact early step because of the upfront and monthly bill savings that can be achieved. New Construction Decarbonization Policy Update Shortly before presenting the Chula Vista Building Decarbonization Working Group recommendations to the Sustainability Commission on May 8, 2023, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that The City of Berkeley’s natural gas ban was preempted by the Federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). The City of Berkeley is appealing this ruling but because of the potential legal risk, City staff are not currently able to move forward with the working group recommendation but will be monitoring Berkeley’s legal appeal and will update the working group and commission if anything changes. To keep pursuing building decarbonization, staff will review new studies released by the Statewide Reach Code team and different options adopted by other jurisdictions, specifically the High-Performance Design approach (more info in additional resources) and evaluate potential incentives for builders. To get more input regarding this change, staff met with some working group members including Climate Action Campaign, SDG&E and the Building Industry Association. Staff held individual meetings with Brookfield, Baldwin and Sons and HomeFed to gather input from local builders as Printed on Recycled Paper, Naturally! 276 FOURTH AVENUE  CHULA VISTA  CALIFORNIA 91910  (619) 409-3893  FAX (619) 476-5310 new construction, occurring primarily in eastern Chula Vista, would be most impacted by any potential decarbonization requirements imposed by the City. Staff wanted to discuss alternate measures that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as adopting CALGreen tier 1 or 2 standards, increased electric vehicle charging, an electric-preferred ordinance or additional energy efficiency requirements for mixed fuel buildings. Some of the feedback staff received is listed below. Feedback from Builders Meetings with these stakeholders were productive and informative. Overall, builders are finding financial reasons to build multifamily electric projects when feasible within their proformas, but they did express a desire for incentives with costly development elements such as pool heating in apartment complexes or servicing mixed-use development (i.e., commercial ground floor with residential above). Some of their comments included: • The need to expand the working group scope to include existing homes as that is the source of most of the energy usage and emissions in Chula Vista’s residential building stock. • Concerns with the ability of the electrical grid to support more electricity usage and request for input from an SDG&E specialist on grid reliability. o The next SB100 Joint Agency Report will focus on grid reliability, but some initial findings are found in the 2021 SB100 Joint Agency Report, linked below. o After meeting with SDG&E, City staff learned that SDG&E can serve all-electric new buildings because they have an obligation to serve them and that Electric Distribution Operations, Design and Project Management, Electric Construction, Customer Success and Regional Public Affairs are the SDG&E departments that support grid reliability. • Local developers are currently voluntarily building limited all-electric buildings and some examples include: o Village 13 o Vista Mar o Escaya Phase II (Lennar) • Concerns over electric appliances and other equipment availability o Redwood Energy publishes electrification equipment guides, linked below • A desire for expedited permitting for all-electric projects • A desire for permit processing to adhere to review times as advertised (3-2-2) • A desire for incentives on pool heating for apartment complexes • Interest in CALGreen, Green Point and the National Green Building Standards, but need to check with lenders if there are benefits on financing • All builders communicated a desire to let the market drive the electric transition; there can also be cultural considerations for the transition (i.e., Chinese and Korean buyers prefer gas infrastructure) • Concern over the voting structure of the working group, with environmentalist votes outweighing builder votes Recommendations 1.

Review the Statewide Reach Code’s High Performance Design approach report when released and follow up with working group if a cost-effective ordinance is identified that encourages decarbonized new construction Next Steps Staff will continue to study the legal framework around electrification ordinances and issues raised by stakeholders and pass along decarbonization solutions to working group members. Additionally, staff will be reaching out to developers to learn more about the existing all-electric projects to spotlight these early actions. If you are aware of any all, or mostly all-electric projects not listed above, please inform Office of Sustainability staff. The Climate Action Plan is currently being updated and staff is planning for community input on the draft, expected in the first half of 2024. The working group will be updated on various ways to provide input during the commenting period (online and in-person events being planned). Staff will engage the working group to update members and begin evaluation options for existing buildings shortly thereafter.
