National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual campaign held each October to increase awareness, encourage early detection and honor those who have battled this disease. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women and an estimated 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lifetime.
Beginning in 1985, this campaign has brought together organizations, communities and individuals to increase public understanding of breast cancer risks, prevention and treatment options.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October and throughout the year – people wear pink ribbons to honor survivors, remember those lost to the disease and to support the progress being made to defeat breast cancer.
Early detection is the most important strategy for treating breast cancer.
The CDC’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) provides breast and cervical cancer screenings and diagnostic services to women who have low incomes and are uninsured or underinsured.

City Council Report
DATE: October 21, 2025
TITLE: Budget Adjustment to Fund Emergency Repairs at the Community Center Pool (Resolution/Roll Call Vote)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council approve a Resolution authorizing a Budget Adjustment to fund the emergency repairs at the Community Center Pool.
BACKGROUND
On November 12, 2024, staff discovered significant leaks in two of the three pumps supporting the pool’s backwash system. The pool was subsequently shut down to address the repairs needed on the two pumps. The Council approved a budget adjustment to address these repairs on January 13, 2025, utilizing the Community Center Reserve Fund. In March 2025, increased water usage again indicated a leak which was due to two leaks in the gutter lines that return to the pool system. The Council approved a budget adjustment to address these repairs on May 6, 2025, utilizing the Community Center Reserve Fund. In recent months, the water refill has significantly increased once again, triggering the need to conduct another leak detection service on the pool.
DISCUSSION
On September 17, 2025, J&B Leak Detection inspected the pool and detected a large leak in the gutter pipe underneath the concrete near the pool wall where dive platforms are located. Repairs of the pipe were scheduled for the week of September 29, 2025, to adequately notify patrons as this is a disruption to regularly scheduled classes. The work was completed promptly in the week timeframe that was communicated to our patrons.
The total cost to do the repairs is $12,201.
Staff recommends the use of the Community Center Reserve Fund again to address the emergency repairs at the pool. In Fiscal Year 2019, following a comprehensive user fee study, the City Council approved a schedule of fees and charges based on the study’s recommendations. One key outcome for the Recreation Department was the introduction of a facility fee, applied to all activities and facility rentals. These facility fees were implemented in Fiscal Year 2019 and have since been deposited into the Community Center Reserve Fund, designated for the maintenance, preservation and/or enhancements to the Community Center Facilities. Staff is recommending a budget Item 7.5
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 29 of 166
adjustment in the amount of $12,201 from the Community Center Reserve Fund to the Public Works Building Maintenance (780) operating budget.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds are available in the Community Center Reserve account for this budget adjustment. The reserve account held an unaudited balance of $159,209 at the end of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. That balance is inclusive of two prior and approved pool repair related budget adjustments in FY 2025 totaling $32,783. If the $12,201 budget adjustment before City Council currently is approved, the Community Center Reserve Fund will have a balance of $147,008.
NEXT STEPS
The adopted Fiscal Year 2026 CIP budget allocates funding for design of the Community Center Community Center Pool Replacement Project, 26-MM. Staff will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for design services pending the City Council requested Study Session on City Hall and Community Center facilities has taken place.
ALTERNATIVES
As this was an emergency, the repairs have already been completed, but an alternative to using the Community Center Reserve account would be to pay for these repairs with General Fund monies.

City Council Report
DATE: October 21, 2025
TITLE: Approval and Authorization to Execute a First Amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement with Griffin Structures Inc. in the Amount of $365,700 and a 10% Contingency in the amount of $36,570 for Additional Construction Management (CIP No. 23-RR)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council adopt a resolution: 1) approving a first amendment to the consultant services agreement with Griffin Structures, Inc., in an amount of $365,700, and a 10% contingency in the amount of $36,570 for additional construction management services for the Measure O – Police Operations Building Project (Project No. 23-RR); 2) authorizing the City Manager to execute the first amendment as specified in Campbell Municipal Code Section 3.20.100; and 3) authorizing the Finance Director to perform a budget adjustment for the appropriation of the funds to cover this request.
BACKGROUND
On July 5, 2022, the City Council Adopted Resolution No. 12861 authorizing the issuance of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Civic Center Improvements, Campbell Library Renovation (Project No. 23-SS) and for the Civic Center Improvements, Campbell Police Operations Building (Project No. 23-RR). Griffin Structures, Inc. was selected as the most qualified to perform the work.
On October 24, 2022, an agreement with Griffin Structures, Inc. to perform Constructability Review, Construction Management, Inspections, and Labor Compliance Services was executed. The contract included a resource allocation schedule that assumed the Library Renovation and Police Operations Building projects would run on parallel tracks and complete in December 2024. However, due to project complexity and changes in delivery method for the Police Operations Building project, the projects could not continue on parallel tracks.
For the Police Operations Building project, Griffin Structures, Inc. would work collaboratively with the existing design consultant, LPA, Inc., to provide constructability reviews and provide construction oversight.
Item 7.6
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 35 of 166
DISCUSSION
At the May 20, 2025, City Council meeting, staff reported a new completion date of April 2026 for the Police Operations Building project. While time extension and additional compensation were added to the design service contract with LPA, Inc., amendment to the construction management service contract with Griffin Structures, Inc. extending the contract completion date beyond December 2024 was deferred to allow Public Works staff to work with Griffin Structures, Inc. to reallocate contract resources to cover this time extension. Staff has since worked with the Griffin Structures, Inc. team to stretch its budget to cover eleven more months beyond the original completion date of December 2024 to November 2025.
Separately, based on the new April 2026 date for the remaining scope of work needed for the completion of the new Police Operations Building project and the renovation of the existing Police office space (Phase 2) located at the lower level of the City Hall building, Griffin Structures, Inc. has provided a cost proposal in the amount of $365,700 to continue providing construction management services from November 2025 through June 2026.
The work for Phase 2 to renovate the existing Police office space has extended the overall Police Operations Building project schedule two months beyond the timeframe presented at the May 20 Council Meeting. Phase 2 work cannot begin until the Police Operations Building project is substantially complete and for staff to move-in to the new building, i.e., vacating the space for Phase 2 work to begin. The construction delays to the new Police Operations Building project were caused by PG&E’s timeline in providing permanent power to the new building, revisions to the generator enclosure, and differing existing conditions. In addition, Phase 2 work is anticipated to take longer because of the need to address differing structural conditions, additional water proofing, treating wood rot, and relocation of utilities. With the contract time extended, Griffin Structures, Inc. will also need to extend the construction document management and tracking software licensing and labor compliance subcontractor.
FISCAL IMPACT
This action will result in a total fiscal impact of $402,270. Sufficient funding is available to cover these costs as reflected in the unaudited balance of $2.2 million in unallocated Measure O funds. As such, a budget adjustment will be required to appropriate the necessary funds into the Measure O – Shared Costs account (CIP No. 21-MM) to support these additional services and associated expenses. After the budget adjustment, the unallocated Measure O funds will have a balance of $1.8 million.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not approve and authorize the execution of a first amendment with Griffin Structures, Inc., for additional construction management services for the Measure O – Police Operations Building project.
2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

City Council Report
DATE: October 21, 2025
TITLE: Accepting Improvements for the John D. Morgan Park Parking Lot Improvements Project No. 23-DD, File Notice of Completion (Resolution/Roll Call Vote)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council adopt a resolution: 1) accepting the improvements for the John D.
Morgan Park Parking Lot Improvements Project No. 23-DD; and 2) directing the City Engineer to file the Notice of Completion.
BACKGROUND
On October 1, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution #13212 approving the plans and specifications and authorizing the advertisement of bids for the John D. Morgan Parking Lot Improvements Project No. 23-DD (Project). The Project is to construct improvements to the parking lot alongside San Tomas Expressway to address safety and infrastructure needs.
On November 4, 2024, the City received and opened two bid proposals. The two bids were from Silicon Valley Paving, Inc. of San Jose and QA Constructors, Inc. of San Francisco, with base bid amounts of $156,800 and $246,292, respectively. The low bid amount of $156,800 was $600 over the authorized construction contract amount of $156,200.
On November 19, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution #13229 which authorized an increased construction contract budget in the amount of $156,800 plus a 10% contingency for a total amount of $172,480, and awarded the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Silicon Valley Paving, Inc. Consequently, the Notice of Award was issued, and the construction contract was fully executed on December 12, 2024.
DISCUSSION
Construction activities began on March 10, 2025. The improvements included:
• Performing asphalt pavement dig outs to replace damaged pavement • Installing surface sealant over the parking lot surface • Installing split-rail fence between the parking lot and the existing pedestrian pathway
Item 7.8
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 54 of 166
• Installing collapsible bollards (2) at the entrance of the emergency pathway access point
• Restriping parking lot to accommodate seventy-two (72) parking spaces, three (3) of which are ADA compliant spaces from an existing total of sixty-nine (69) parking spaces with one (1) ADA compliant space
• Replacing the timber berms surrounding tree planter boxes On April 17, 2025, the Project was completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and final job inspections were conducted by the City Inspector and Engineer.
Partial Withholding of Retention
In accordance with the City’s General Provisions Section 9-2.06B ‘Retention’, the City is withholding $8,600 in retention to ensure work is completed to required standards. This is 5% of the construction contract value of $172,000.
During the term of the contract, the prime contractor, Silicon Valley Paving, Inc., had labor compliance violations. On September 2, 2025, a Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments was sent in accordance with Labor Code Section 1742 and 1771.6 to the prime contractor advising an estimated maximum wage restitutions to workers, liquidated damages, and penalties equal to $1,523.52 to be deducted and held from the retention amount as security. The date of delivery of the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments marked the beginning of a 60-day period in which the contractors could make wage restitutions to their workers or file an appeal with the City. If at the end of the 60- day period, the contractor fails to make wage restitutions, the City will distribute the wages owed in accordance with information on the certified payrolls followed by a letter to the California Department of Industrial Relations stating wage distribution information. If the contractor pays restitution, the City will only retain the liquidated damages and penalties portion per Labor Code Section 1775 and 1813.
Retention balances are released 35 days following the filing of the Notice of Completion with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office.
The attached resolution has been prepared to accept the improvements and to direct the City Engineer to file the Notice of Completion with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office.

City Council Report
DATE: October 21, 2025
TITLE: Peregrine Contract
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council adopt a Resolution approving a three-year contract with Peregrine, authorizing the City Manager to sign the contract, dispensing with bidding requirements as specified in Campbell Municipal Code Section 3.20.030(7), and approving associated budget adjustments.
BACKGROUND
The opioid epidemic, particularly the rising prevalence of fentanyl, continues to have devastating effects on communities throughout Santa Clara County. The Police Department is committed to utilizing innovative technology to combat this crisis, enhance public safety, and improve officer and first responder safety.
Peregrine software will play a vital role in tackling the opioid epidemic, which continues to impact Campbell residents. By integrating overdose reports, Narcan usage data, opioid-related calls for service, and locations of high-risk activity, the software will help identify hotspots and emerging trends in real time. This information will allow law enforcement, County Behavioral Health, and homeless services teams to deploy resources more strategically, ensuring timely interventions in the areas where they are needed most.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, Santa Clara County Office of the District Attorney, and San Jose Police Department have already acquired Peregrine. Through memorandums of understanding, we will be able to share disparate information systems amongst participating agencies throughout the Bay Area, through a unified Peregrine platform, to better understand these trends. This will allow for improved coordination of multi-agency response and allocation of services, especially in the case of the transitory nature of the un-housed community.
The California (CA) Abatement Accounts Fund was established to provide funds to cities and counties for the abatement of the opioid crisis in California. Participating cities and counties (otherwise known as Participating Subdivisions) receive funds from this account annually, as determined by the relative National Opioid Settlement Agreements. Payment periods vary by settlement and can last up to eighteen (18) years. The City has entered Item 7.9
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 61 of 166
into 12 different settlement agreements related to these funds. (See attached finance spreadsheet of current and anticipated funding).
Opioid settlement funds may only be used for specific purposes. These include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Research: Monitoring, surveillance, data collection and evaluation of programs and strategies.
2. First Responders: Provision of wellness and support services for first responders and others who experience secondary trauma associated with opioid-related emergency events.
3. Leadership, Planning, and Coordination: Support efforts to provide leadership, planning, coordination, facilitations, training and technical assistance to abate the opioid epidemic through activities, programs, or strategies.
In addition to the above guidelines, 50% of the allocated expenditures must fall into a “High Impact Abatement Activities,” which includes, “Addressing the needs of vulnerable populations (including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations) that are disproportionately impacted by SUD (Substance Use Disorder).” The proposed purchase aligns with approved expenditure categories within the settlement guidelines, specifically under “Research and Data Collection,” “First Responders,” and “Leadership, Planning, and Coordination.” Other agencies in the Bay Area have also utilized the Opioid Settlement Funds to purchase this same software for similar reasons that are contained in this report.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department established a Real-Time Intelligence Center (known as the INFORM Center) to revolutionize its approach to public safety and community well-being.
The INFORM Center is designed to provide real-time situational awareness, reduce crime, enhance officer safety, and foster improved collaboration with City partners. As the Campbell community continues to grapple with the challenges posed by the opioid epidemic, the INFORM Center serves as a critical hub for integrating technology and data to deliver innovative solutions.
The Peregrine software's predictive capabilities enable the INFORM Center to take a proactive stance in combating opioid misuse. By analyzing trends and identifying patterns, such as the geographic spread of overdoses or increased opioid-related criminal activity, the INFORM Center can act as an early warning system.
The software enables the creation of searchable dashboards and automated alerts to monitor and manage officer and staff exposure to opioids, including fentanyl, and other safety risks. By integrating data from multiple underlying systems, the platform provides comprehensive insights, seamlessly processing unstructured data such as Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) notes, report narratives, and other critical data sources.
Item 7.9
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 62 of 166
Additionally, the system’s dashboard functionality can automate the dissemination of critical information and location data to agency partners. This includes updates on Narcan usage, encampment locations, opioid incidents, and overdoses, thereby serving as an early warning system to enhance both officer safety and community response efforts.
The early warning system will identify personnel who have responded to multiple opioid overdoses or traumatic events. Supervisors will be able to intervene and offer services and support to ensure a healthy and supported workforce. Peregrine will also allow staff to quickly identify specific areas that need comprehensive support to avoid fatal opioid overdoses and proactively deploy resources to save lives.
Additionally, Peregrine provides a one-stop solution to data integration through their proprietary software that allows personnel to access multiple databases through one useful, actionable, portal. Peregrine will integrate new and archived Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) data, new and archived Records Management Systems (RMS) data, traffic accident diagrams and reporting, mapping information, body and in-car camera footage, automatic license plate reader (ALPR) information, and many other public safety data sources. This will create a comprehensive dashboard to easily gain immediate, realtime access, to virtually all Campbell Police Department information systems along with our partner agencies who also have Peregrine.
The purchasing procedures outlined in the City’s Municipal Code Section 3.20.050 state that purchases of equipment shall be made according to specified bidding procedures.
However, per Municipal Code Section 3.20.030(7), the bidding procedures may be dispensed with when the supplies, services or equipment can only be obtained from one vendor, in which case the City may negotiate directly with that vendor.
Peregrine Technologies, Inc. has been identified as the sole provider capable of delivering an end-to end software solution that meets the unique needs of the Campbell Police Department and its Real Time Intelligence Center. Their software offers a comprehensive suite of capabilities, including:
- Purpose-built data integrations
- Fully integrated features such as advanced search, mapping, link, analysis, reporting, and dashboards
- Proprietary data deduplication algorithms
- A secure collaboration and data sharing functionality - Fully open and interoperable architecture
- End-to-end security, CJIS and CAL DOJ compliance
- Integrate seamlessly with the existing infrastructure of the Santa Clara County District Attorney, Santa Clara County Sheriff, and San Jose Police Department - Continuity and interoperability with current systems already deployed within these departments, minimizing risk of incompatibility and data loss Peregrine Technologies, Inc. has provided sole source documentation verifying their unique qualifications to deliver this solution, which has been attached to this report.
Item 7.9
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 63 of 166
By centralizing overdose and response data, the platform will enable faster identification of at-risk individuals and more efficient deployment of outreach and intervention resources, potentially reducing overdose fatalities and improving connections to treatment.
This initiative reflects Campbell’s commitment to combining innovation with empathy, ensuring technology serves both community safety and human well-being.
FISCAL IMPACT
No General Fund impact is anticipated. All costs will be covered by restricted Opioid Settlement Funds, which are specifically authorized for this purpose and will be set aside under a new budget unit (212.614) in Fund 212 (State and Federal Funding). Future contract renewals would be contingent upon continued settlement fund allocations or other grant funding.
The initial yearly term payment effective October 31, 2025, is $71,500 and impacts FY 2026. Years two and three are automatic options and are also $71,500 per year due October 31st of each year in FY 2027 and FY 2028. The agency can opt out of year two or three with 30 days written notice and funds for both years will be considered as part of the annual budget process. The total contract cost for all three years is $214,500.
Finance has again placed the FY 2026 Opioid Settlement Funds into a Fund 212 and budget unit 212.614. Through the end of FY 2026, the City is expected to have received $158,206 in Opioid Settlement Funds, which includes earned interest income. The total amount of Opioid Settlement Funds that will be collected during the term of the three-year contract period is approximately $209,105, not including future interest income not yet received. Such additional interest income could make up the approximately $5,400 funding gap in future fiscals and staff will verify at time of each annual renewal as well as during the annual budget process for FY 2027 and FY 2028.
ALTERNATIVES
Take no action, maintaining the status quo. This would limit the City’s ability to leverage opioid settlement funds for data-driven abatement and reduce interagency collaboration on opioid-related response efforts.

Campbell Police Department 10/7/2025
70 N 1st St
Campbell, Ca 95008
Thank you for your agency’s interest in Peregrine’s unified data platform (“the Peregrine platform” or “the platform”). The Peregrine platform has been built with law enforcement and public safety agencies in mind, making it uniquely suited to the needs of the Campbell Police Department (CPD). The Peregrine platform is the only end-to-end software available on the market with the following integrated capabilities:
• Purpose-built data integrations Specifically for systems used by CPD. Peregrine offers proven, pre-built connectors that allow for seamless integration with critical existing CPD systems such as Central Square CAD, AXON RMS, AXON BWC, AXON Fleet 3, FLOCK ALPR, and FUSUS. These pre-built connectors eliminate any requirements for CPD IT to develop and maintain interfaces between Peregrine and CPD source systems and ensure that data available in Peregrine is complete, accurate, and always up-to-date.
• Fully Integrated Search, Map, Link Analysis, Reporting, and Dashboarding. Peregrine offers the only solution on the market that offers a fully integrated set of user-facing applications for search, map-based analysis, link analysis, reporting, and dashboarding that allow for seamless movement of data between those applications without the need to export and import data manually. Additionally, Peregrine is the only solution that offers desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile device accessible versions of those integrated applications so that they can be accessed by authorized users wherever and whenever they are needed.
• Proprietary Data Deduplication Algorithms. Peregrine offers proprietary algorithms that will enable automatic and auditable deduplication and merging of data, such as person records. This will allow the CPD to have automatically clean, reliable information upon which to conduct data searches and compile reporting products without the need to make any changes to the agency’s underlying source systems. • Proprietary Ontology Purpose-Built for Law Enforcement. Peregrine offers the only dynamic ontology capability that has been purpose-built for Law Enforcement data. This allows the CPD to automatically establish connections and relationships between data elements within and across disparate systems that are otherwise likely to be missed.
Additionally, Peregrine’s dynamic ontology allows the CPD to have fully flexibility to change its desired data model over time without needing to build and maintain additional interfaces or make any changes to the agency’s underlying source systems and the way they store or represent information. The Peregrine Ontology has been developed and continuously refined to specifically accommodate law enforcement data and concepts. • Secure Collaboration and Data Sharing. The Peregrine platform’s proprietary integration, ontology, and granular security permissions enable secure sharing within the CPD and between CPD and partner agencies, public and private, that is otherwise not possible. Within the CPD, this will allow secure collaboration across investigations, patrol, custody operations, traffic, analysis and command staff. Additionally, Peregrine will allow the CPD to securely collaborate and share data in a common platform with critical Peregrine customer agencies within and outside of Peregrine’s suite of customers (e.g., Alameda Sheriff, Fremont PD, Livermore PD, Modesto PD, Santa Clara SO, San Jose PD). All data sharing and collaboration features are automatically synchronized with CPD’s existing user, group, and role security and access policies.
• Fully Open and Interoperable Architecture. Peregrine is the only solution on the market that ensures the CPD will never be at risk of vendor lock-in or issues related to data ownership. Peregrine’s fully open and interoperable architecture is fully vendor-agnostic, allowing Peregrine to integrate data from any current or future CPD solution and allow any such Item 7.9
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 82 of 166
2 solutions to access data from Peregrine, without limitation, if desired by CPD. A customer retains full and total rights to its data within Peregrine at all times and has the ability to access and export that data in open, standard data formats at any time.
• End-to-end security, CJIS, and CAL DOJ compliance. Peregrine is hosted on the secure, CJIS compliant Amazon Web Services (AWS) Government Cloud region. Peregrine meets or exceeds all standards and controls set forth in the most current CJIS and CAL DOJ security policies. Peregrine has been approved at multiple California agencies to handle sensitive information such as criminal justice information. Additionally, Peregrine offers seamless integration with CPD’s existing single-sign-on and multi-factor authentication services. This allows CPD to avoid any redundancy and duplication in managing user access and permissions and automatically ensure all interactions with sensitive data are compliant with existing agency data and information system security policies.
We look forward to working with CPD in the near future. If there are any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Thank you,
Nick Noone

City Council Report
DATE: October 21, 2025
TITLE: Adoption of the 2025 Editions of the California Building & Fire Codes and local amendments: (PLN-2022-112) to Titles 1 (General Provisions), 5 (Business License Regulations), 17 (Fire Protection), 18 (Building Codes and Regulations) of the Campbell Municipal Code
(Ordinance/Roll Call Vote).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council introduce and hold first reading of an Ordinance adopting the 2025 California Building Code series (Building, Residential, Fire, Administrative, Existing, Historical, Energy, Cal Green, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Wildland-Urban Interface) and amending Titles 1 (General Provisions), 5 (Business License), 17 (Fire Protection), 18 (Building Codes and Regulations) of the Campbell Municipal Code.
PURPOSE
In compliance with State Law, the California Building Standards Code (“Building Code”) is revised and updated every three (3) years. As the 2025 Building Codes will go into effect on January 1, 2026, the city needs to amend the Campbell Municipal Code (“CMC”) to reference the new Building Code standards with any local amendments by the end of 2025.
The subject CMC amendments will adopt the 2025 Editions of the California Building & Fire Codes as identified, and include amendments identified by the Building Official and Santa Clara County Fire District to provide administrative clarity, align with the changes of the new code series including titles, chapter numbers, and appendix letters, and to address local conditions.
DISCUSSION
Under State law, cities are allowed to make amendments to the State Building Code that are more restrictive when they address local or regional conditions. However, under AB130 (and AB306) that was signed into law June 30, 2025, cities are restricted from adopting local code amendments affecting residential buildings until 2031 unless they meet one of the following categories:
1. Changes substantially similar to previously adopted modifications.
2. Standards to protect Health and Safety.
3. Standards affecting Home Hardening (voluntary residential fire protection).

Item 8.1
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 89 of 166
5. Standards that clarify or streamline administrative policy.
The Building Official of Campbell, and the Santa Clara County Fire District recommends adopting the 2025 Building Codes with the proposed amendments that meet the provisions under AB 130 by implementing standards to protect Health and Safety, affect Home Hardening, and clarify or streamline administrative policy.
The local amendments recommended by the Santa Clara County Fire District and Building Official includes adopting: the Urban Wildland Interface standards as a reference (voluntary) code, minimum size standards for circuit boxes to speed application and ensure safety, the requirement for a safety inspection of businesses by Building Inspection staff when a business license is obtained, numerous administrative changes to remove code redundancies and create better clarity in an effort to streamline permit applications and approvals. In tandem, staff has made recommended code amendments that remove references to obsolete practices that don’t reflect current procedures, such as with weed abatement.
As described under a separate report that will be presented to Council at this same meeting, staff has identified additional reach code amendments the City could pursue that promote electrification of residences and the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, in conformance with the City’s General Plan policies.
Findings and Adoption of Model Codes
Notwithstanding the requirements of AB 130, all local amendments to the Building Code must be justified through findings that demonstrate that the proposed amendment is “reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic, or topographical conditions.” Amendments must be filed with the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) and California Department of Housing (HCD). Once received, the findings are filed and evaluated for acceptance. Pending Council adoption, the proposed Ordinance, (Attachment 1) will be sent to the Building Standards Commission for approval. The findings identified in the Ordinance code reference local climatic conditions, including the ongoing impacts of climate change, and increased electrification of buildings.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed Ordinance is exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), as there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. The action involves only the adoption of updated codes mandated by State law with minor local amendments.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendments are not anticipated to result in a major increase in construction costs.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not adopt the proposed Ordinance changes.
2. Provide direction for edits to the local amendments, or to the State Building Code.

BEING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL ADOPTING THE 2025 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE AND AMENDING TITLES 1 (GENERAL PROVISIONS), 5 (BUSINESS LICENSE REGULATIONS), 17 (FIRE PROTECTION), AND 18 (BUILDING CODES AND REGULATIONS) TO REFLECT LOCAL AMENDMENTS.
WHEREAS, the State of California, through the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC), has adopted the 2025 edition of the California Building Standards Code (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations), including all parts thereof, which will become effective statewide on January 1, 2026;
WHEREAS, the California Building Standards Code is updated triennially, and the 2025 edition will go into effect statewide on January 1, 2026, requiring municipalities to update their local codes to remain in compliance with state law;
WHEREAS, under the California Building Standards Law (Health & Safety Code § 18901 et seq.) and the State Housing Law (Health & Safety Code § 17958), all cities and counties are required to adopt and enforce the state building standards within their jurisdiction; WHEREAS, the City is required to adopt the 2025 Title 24 codes (also sometimes called the 2025 California Building Standards Code) by ordinance, including any state‐mandated updates and amendments to parts of Title 24;
WHEREAS, the City desires to maintain consistency with the state standards for the promotion of public health, safety, welfare, accessibility, environmental protection, energy efficiency, fire safety, seismic safety and durability of buildings; WHEREAS, this Ordinance includes the reenactment of modifications that were originally enacted prior to September 30, 2025 and any associated findings supporting their initial enactment and accounting for the entirety of the administrative record; WHEREAS, recent legislative changes (e.g., applicable to modifications of residential building standards under AB 130 (2025) impose constraints on local amendments to state building standards, and require express findings under certain exceptions including:
1. The changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the governing body of the city or county and were in effect as of September 30, 2025;
2. The changes or modifications are necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety; or
3. The changes or modifications are necessary to implement a local code amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025, and that permits mixed-fuel residential construction consistent with federal law while also incentivizing all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy.

City Council Ordinance No. Page 2 of 45
2025 California Building Code (PLN-2025-129)
4. The changes are related to Home Hardening and wildfire resistance and proposed by a local fire prevention district pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 13869.7.
5. The changes or modifications are related to administrative practices pursuant to HSC 18942 and intended to result in
a. Time reduction for permit issue.
b. Alterations to post-entitlement fee schedules.
c. Modernization or adaption of new permitting platforms and software to ease, streamline, and reduce the time required for permit approvals.
WHEREAS, the City has conducted appropriate public notice and held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance in accordance with applicable law, including the Health & Safety Code, Government Code, and the procedures required by the California Building Standards Commission;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that adoption of local amendments to the 2025 California Building Standards Code is reasonably necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. In particular, the amendments respond to local climatic conditions (including high winds, extreme heat, and seasonal rainfall that increase fire spread, flooding, and structural risks), geologic conditions (including seismic activity, ground shaking, and liquefaction hazards requiring enhanced structural design), and topographical conditions (including wildland-urban interface areas, hillside terrain, and flood-prone zones that elevate risks of fire, landslides, and drainage impacts). These local conditions warrant more stringent standards to reduce the likelihood of structural failure, fire spread, or other hazards, thereby ensuring that buildings and structures within the City are designed and maintained to provide a greater level of safety for occupants, first responders, and the public at large; WHEREAS, local conditions in the City (including climatic, geological and topographical conditions) warrant certain local amendments or modifications to the state code in order to ensure that such standards are reasonably adapted to local needs while not being less protective than the state minimum;
WHEREAS, the State of California continues to experience catastrophic wildfire events, worsened by climate change and prolonged drought, which have resulted in the loss of lives, homes, and access to affordable homeowners’ insurance.
WHEREAS, Campbell experiences sustained seasonal temperatures above 82°F, with periodic extreme heat events exceeding 100°F, necessitating the increased use and installation of HVAC systems that place higher demands on existing electrical infrastructure; WHEREAS, homeowners increasingly seek to add electrical circuitry for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS), and energy storage systems (ESS), in alignment with the greenhouse gas policies of the City’s General Plan, which was adopted on April 18, 2023;

2025 California Building Code (PLN-2025-129)
WHEREAS, newer electrical code requirements for dedicated circuitry, together with evolving product manufacturer safety standards, and newer code provisions for Arc-Fault and GroundFault protection (AFCI and GFCI), align with the State of California’s electrification goals and the City of Campbell’s General Plan;
WHEREAS, the majority of Campbell’s housing stock was constructed prior to modern electrical and HVAC standards, leading to widespread use of outdated and undersized electrical panels incompatible with current electrical demands and safety requirements; WHEREAS, overloading of electrical panels due to added HVAC units, Ground Fault and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI/AFCI) requirements, electric vehicle chargers, and solar photovoltaic systems presents a significant fire risk and hazard to public safety; WHEREAS, historically, main electrical panels were sized by load rather than by wire and breaker fill capacity, and electrical inspectors have regularly observed violations of California Electrical Code Article 314.16 in existing main panels, thereby creating potential fire and safety compromises;
WHEREAS, the California Electrical Code sets strict limits on wire-fill and breaker configurations in electrical panels, and most residential applicants lack the technical expertise to satisfy Article 314.16 by producing wire fill panel calculations, Ordinance Title 18, Chapter
18.16 introduces an option to simply increase the size of the panel. The action will reduce the time for permit approval and reduce the risk of unsafe installations; WHEREAS, requiring that adding circuits to an existing panel will require either a wire-fill calculation or be upgraded to a minimum 200-amp panel box to provide adequate expansion space, with a mast and service wires sized for 200-amp capacity, grounding to be compliant with Article 250 of the California Electrical Code, and allowing de-rating by main breaker amperage where existing utility service wires are undersized, will speed permit issue, improve safety, support electrification, and provide capacity for future expansion; WHEREAS, Campbell is not currently located in a State Responsibility Area (SRA) or designated as a high-fire severity zone, and thus is not required to adopt the WUI Code, yet voluntary adoption of WUI standards supports proactive home hardening, resilience, and fire insurance retention;
WHEREAS, a study by the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) found that every $1 invested in implementing wildfire resilience measures can yield up to $8 in avoided losses, demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of proactive home hardening; WHEREAS, the proposed Title 18, Chapter 18.03 amendment enables residents and developers to utilize the WUI Code as a reference guide for voluntary fire protection upgrades, thereby promoting community resilience and potentially reducing long-term disaster recovery costs;
WHEREAS, the proposed Ordinances includes findings that demonstrate the necessity of the local amendments due to local climatic conditions, such as heat, fire risk, and building electrification trends, and will be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission and the California Department of Housing (HCD) for validation; Item 8.1

City Council Ordinance No. Page 4 of 45
2025 California Building Code (PLN-2025-129)
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments are not anticipated to significantly increase construction costs and instead aim to clarify administrative policy, improve public safety, streamline permitting, and ensure long-term code compliance; WHEREAS, the City has made the required findings for any proposed local amendments to the 2025 code, as reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions (or other categories permitted by law), and these findings are on the record; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Code (with the specified local amendments) is in the public interest and will serve to protect the public health, safety, welfare, property, environment and accessibility of persons with disabilities within the City.

CBC 1705.3 Concrete construction. The special inspections and verifications for concrete construction shall be as required by this section and Table 1705.3 Exception: Special inspections shall not be required for:
1. Isolated spread concrete footings of buildings three stories or less above grade plane that are fully supported on earth or rock, where the structural design of the footing is based on a specific compressive strength, f''c, no greater than 2,500 pounds per square inch (psi) (17.2 Mpa).
RATIONALE:
Results from studies after the 1994 Northridge earthquake indicated that a lot of the damages were attributed to lack of quality control during construction. The proposed amendment improves quality control during construction and therefore needs to be incorporated into the Code. Revise CBC Section 1705.3 exception No.1 to allow special inspection not to be required for isolated spread footing where the structural design of the footing is based on a specified compressive strength, f''c, no greater than 2,500 psi. This proposed amendment is a continuation of an amendment adopted during a previous code adoption cycle.

CBC Section 3110.2 Vehicular gates Intended for automation. Vehicular gates intended for automation shall be designed, constructed and installed to comply with the requirements of ASTM F2200.
The referenced American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) ASTM F2200 for the safe design, installation, and use of vehicular gates, establishes by reference, that all gates whether part of a fire apparatus access or egress, or for general vehicle, or pedestrian passage, having barbed or razor wire, knox boxes, or power actuation, automatic or manual, color and materials, shall be reviewed for security and safety and permitted with specifications approved by Fire, Building, and Planning Divisions as well as a compliant design to the provisions of ASTM F2200.
General ASTM F2200 Requirements (specific criteria for the 5 gate styles can be located on the ASTM website):
• Barbed tape and wire by its very design is intended to be a hazardous material upon contact with persons, but it may become unnecessarily hazardous to persons in the vicinity of a moving gate. If barbed tape is installed on a gate at eight feet or higher above grade, unintended injury is much less likely to occur.
• All gate designs shall have smooth bottom surfaces and be free of any protrusions that can cut, scrape, puncture and, in general, injure a person when the gate is moving. Any exclusions or exceptions to this requirement are covered under Section 4.8. • All vehicular gate designs shall be constructed and installed with designs such that the gate cannot fall over more than 45 degrees from the vertical plane if detached from the gates supporting hardware, to prevent injury during service or in case of support failure. These designs can be accomplished by installing support posts, brackets, cables, chains or other devices that would hold or support the gate should it become detached from its supporting hardware. This can be accomplished by installing support posts, brackets, cables, chains or other devices that would hold or support the gate should it become detached from its supporting hardware.
• Gates have been divided into five basic designs of construction: horizontal slide, horizontal swing, vertical lift, vertical pivot and overhead pivot. These designs are considered to be the most common types being installed in the U.S. Each specific design shall be constructed and installed to conform to requirements that are unique to each particular gate type.

• A manual gate latch is not designed for an automated gate. When required, a safe design receiver guide shall be installed in lieu of a gate latch.
• The bottom edge of any automated gate shall be free of any protrusions other than hardware such as fasteners, bolts, etc. Such hardware must not project greater than ½” and must be smooth on all surfaces, with no sharp edges, to prevent injuries such as cutting, scraping, or other similar.
The gate design must also include an analysis of structural loads on large or heavy gates, wind loads on solid gates, the safety of fingers and hands in the rolling tracks, dislodging of rollers from tracks, entrapment, automatic closer with a crushing potential, locking mechanisms, and emergency access.

Adopt the Wildland-Urban Interface Code (WUI - formerly a chapter, now a separate code), not as a required code, but as a reference code listing voluntary measures for Home Hardening and residential fire resistance. Many California residents are having difficulties securing homeowner’s insurance. Voluntary WUI compliance is often a requirement for some insurance policies. c. Adding new wires into an existing electrical panel requires a detailed wire fill calculation, compliant to Article 314, and Tables 314.16(A) and (B) and Chapter 9 Item 8.1
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 137 of 166
of the CA Electric Code. Introduce an option to provide either a wire fill calculation or replace the electrical panel with a 200amp panel. This action is in response to wire and breaker fill violations by the regional need and desire for adding new wiring into existing electric panels for EV charging, home electrification, and battery storage systems. If the service wires will not support 200amps, the panel may be de-rated through a smaller amperage main breaker.
d. Relocate the rooftop solar permit process from Chapter 4 (Building Code) and into Chapter 16 (Electrical Code). Edit the language to reflect Campbell’s new automated permit process that is recently required by SB 379. e. Include new Chapter 18.04.032 Vehicular gates, to clarify the need and reasoning for permitting vehicle gates, the approving agencies, and the design criteria.
Presently, the safety standards of the gates are referenced in CBC Chapters 406.2.1 and 3110, where they are required to comply with ASTM F2200. The new CMC chapter 18.04.032 will reference and provide a summary list of the ASTM requirements.
f. Establish a standard Construction Waste Management Plan. CalGreen Chapter
4.408.2 (Mandatory Measures) requires all residential projects to submit a Construction Waste Management Plan (WMP) that will identify the management of demolition and general construction trash materials. Depending on the size and valuation of the project, variable levels of compliance is required. For the smaller projects, permit applicants seldom understand the elements of a WMP and so Campbell wishes to adopt a specific written plan that will identify and summarize the requirements. This standard WMP will be required on the cover sheet of all residential projects and will include means and methods for Chapter 4 compliance using source-separation, recycling, and diversion. It will also include language towards storm water pollution control and limits to the use of violate organic compounds (VOC).
g. Standardize some of the language and positioning of the sub-chapters. h. Remove chapter 18.60 regarding the adoption of the 2019 Ca Existing Building Code as the code adoption is redundantly placed into Chapter 18.10. i. Clarify what new businesses will be required to obtain a Safety Inspection prior to obtaining a business license (Chapter 5).

City Council Report
DATE: October 21, 2025
TITLE: 2025 Building Code Cycle Reach Codes Options
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council receive the report and provide direction to staff regarding pursuit of two proposed reach codes to further electrification and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to introduce two reach codes for consideration by Council:
1. Two-Way AC: The proposed code would be triggered when an air conditioning (“AC”) system is installed or replaced in an existing residence and would require either installation of a “two-way AC” (i.e. heat pump) capable of both cooling and heating; or installation of a traditional AC in combination with specific energy efficiency measures.
2. Electric Readiness: The proposed code would require “pre-wiring” for electricity for kitchen remodels or the installation (new or replacement) gas or propane appliances such as water heaters, clothes dryers, space heaters, or outdoor appliances. A homeowner could replace or install a new gas appliance (stove, water heater), but would also be required to also install a conduit (or hardwire) and outlet to within three feet of the gas appliance connecting to the main service panel.
These reach codes are critical tools that will implement Campbell’s General Plan greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals and strategies, aligns with upcoming Bay Area Air District (Air District) regulations, and advances the City Council's adopted sustainability priority.
Staff is seeking initial direction from Council whether staff should develop a reach code ordinance for Two-Way AC and Electric Readiness, conduct public outreach, and to return to Council later this year to consider formal adoption.
BACKGROUND
State Building Code Cycles and AB 130
The State updates its Building Standards Code every three years. Local governments have historically been able to adopt “reach codes” with findings of local necessity that go beyond State minimums—for example, Campbell’s 2022 all-electric reach code or 2024 zero NOx regulations. However, Assembly Bill 130 (AB 130) that was signed into law on Item 9.1
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 139 of 166
June 30, 2025, prohibits local jurisdictions from adopting reach code amendments to the residential code between October 1, 2025, and June 30, 2031, unless they relate to life/safety issues or are otherwise exempt.
One exemption under AB 130 allows jurisdictions to adopt local reach code amendments if "the changes or modifications are necessary to implement a local code amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025, and that permits mixed-fuel residential construction consistent with federal law while also incentivizing all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy.”
Campbell’s General Plan, adopted in April 2023, has a Chapter focused on Sustainability and Climate Change (Attachment 2) that contains goals and policies as part of a strategy for reducing GHG emissions:
• Goal COS-10: Improve air quality in Campbell and the region through reductions in air pollutants and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
• Policy COS-8.5 Continue to participate in Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) whereby city-owned facilities, parks, and streetlights will run on 100% renewable energy sources like wind and solar, and motivate and encourage Campbell residents and businesses to participate in Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support statewide alternative energy use.
• Policy COS-8.2 Support and encourage the implementation of innovative and green building best management practices including, but not limited to, sustainable site planning, solar opportunities, LEED certification for new development, the local adoption of Reach Codes, and incorporation of net zero energy development standards in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24, if feasible.
• Policy COS-10.1: Improve air quality through continuing to require a development pattern that focuses growth in and around existing urbanized areas, locates new housing near places of employment, encourages alternative modes of transportation, supports efficient parking strategies, reduces vehicle miles traveled, and requires projects to mitigate significant air quality impacts.
The identified Two-Way AC and Electric Readiness reach codes align with these General Plan goals and policies by incentivizing all electric construction while also permitting mixed fuels, consistent with federal law, per the provisions of AB 130.
Policy Context
In 2022, the City adopted a reach code requiring electrification of new buildings. Following the Ninth Circuit ruling in the Berkeley case1, Campbell suspended enforcement and subsequently adopted a replacement Air Quality Ordinance in Title 6 of the Municipal Code, prohibiting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from equipment in new buildings.
The proposed Two-Way AC reach code builds on this work, targeting a common point of equipment replacement (air conditioners) as a strategic intervention to promote electrification and reduce emissions in existing residential buildings at a cost-effective time. Additionally, the proposed policy aligns with upcoming Air District regulations (Rule Item 9.1
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 140 of 166
9-4), which will phase out the sale and installation of natural gas furnaces in favor of heat pumps in the nine-county Bay Area beginning in 2029. While this proposed policy does not add requirements on furnaces, adding a heat pump enables heating in addition to cooling. This means that when a furnace no longer functions, there is no need to replace it as the heat pump can already provide heat to the home in a way that aligns with the Air District’s rules.
Using AC replacement, rather than furnace replacement, as the trigger for heat pump installation provides a more cost-effective and planned opportunity for households to transition to a heat pump.
The proposed Electric Readiness reach code also builds on Campbell’s existing Air Quality Ordinance. Under this ordinance, new construction cannot install appliances that emit nitrogen oxides (NOx), and if an exemption is granted, the project must still include pre-wiring for future electrification. The Electric Readiness reach code would extend this approach to existing homes by requiring “pre-wiring,” the installation of the necessary electric infrastructure when gas or propane appliances are installed or replaced in an existing residential building. This ensures that when residents are ready to transition to electric appliances in the future, the wiring and outlets are already in place, reducing both costs and barriers to electrification.
DISCUSSION – TWO WAY AC
Heating and Cooling System Types
A summary of common home heating and cooling systems is provided below to support understanding of the different heating and cooling systems and the proposed policy:
• Furnace: Provides space heating only and can be gas-powered or electric. • Air Conditioner (AC): Provides space cooling only and does not supply heat. • Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System: generally refers to a combined furnace (heating) and central air conditioner (cooling) that share ductwork and controls. The furnace portion often uses natural gas. • Heat Pump (HP): Functions as both an air conditioner and a heater in a single system, using electricity only—also referred to as “two-way air conditioning.” A heat pump transfers heat rather than generates it, which makes it highly energy efficient.
Heat pumps have outsold gas furnaces in the U.S. consistently since 2021. Last year, manufacturers shipped 32% more heat pumps than gas furnaces.2 There are several benefits to installing a heat pump as the primary heating and cooling system:
• Resilience: Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling within one system, supporting resident comfort during extreme weather.
• GHG Reductions: Heat pumps are significantly more energy efficient than gas furnaces and use Silicon Valley Clean Energy’s increasingly clean electricity sources.
• Air Quality: Aligns with and supports BAAQMD rule phasing out natural gas furnaces (Rule 9-4).
• Resident Cost Savings: While upfront installation costs may be slightly higher, lifetime energy bill savings and available incentives offset expenses.
Item 9.1
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 141 of 166
Proposed Policy Concept
As proposed, if an AC system is replaced or a new one installed in an existing residence, the requirement will be to 1) install a heat pump space (two-way air conditioner that both heats and cools) and no other measures other than those that are required under the California Energy Code, or 2) maintaining a one-way cooling AC and installing additional energy efficiency measures above what is required under the California Energy Code.
Clarification on Triggers:
• New Installation / Replacement of an AC → triggers the policy. • New Installation / Replacement of a furnace only → does not trigger the policy.
Staff is not recommending that furnace replacement by itself trigger a heat pump requirement. Requiring a heat pump whenever a furnace fails could impose a higher cost burden on residents. By contrast, AC replacement as the trigger creates a more costeffective opportunity to transition, since residents are already making a planned investment in cooling equipment. Someone may voluntarily install a heat pump with an existing furnace using the furnace as a backup system.
There are several ways a project could comply with this reach code, which triggers when installing a new or replacing an existing AC system:
1) The simplest way would be to install a heat pump (an air conditioner that is also configured to function as a space heater). The heat pump can be installed in two ways:
a) When installing the heat pump, the furnace may stay in place to serve as the air handler for the heat pump,1 and as a back-up heating system. b) Alternatively, a resident may choose to install the heat pump in the furnace’s location, removing the original furnace to provide both heating and cooling. 2) Alternatively, a project could comply by installing an air conditioner and relying on a gas furnace for space heating but would be required to install additional energy efficiency measures (e.g., air sealing, attic insulation). For a summary of compliance requirements, see Attachment 1.
Cost and GHG Reduction Considerations
The proposed policy was evaluated across four primary metrics:
1. Up-Front Costs: Equipment installation costs.
2. On-Bill Impacts: Monthly utility bill changes based on rate schedules.
3. Lifecycle Impact: Cumulative 30-year costs and savings, such as installation, equipment replacement, maintenance, and on-bill impacts.
4. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions: Estimated reductions in emissions.
Up-Front Costs
The cost burden on installing a heat pump in lieu of an AC system as shown in Figure 1, are a key consideration for the feasibility of the proposed policy. As shown, the typical 1 A heat pump needs a way to push heated or cooled air through the house. That’s usually done with an air handler (a blower and fan system connected to the ductwork). If a home already has a furnace, an air handler is built in.
Instead of buying a brand-new air handler, the homeowner can reuse the furnace’s air handler for the heat pump. In this setup, the furnace stays in place. The heat pump does the heating and cooling, and the furnace can automatically turn on as a backup heat source if needed.

equipment cost of an AC system (right side of the table) is $10,431 and a Heat Pump $12,347, a cost difference of roughly $2,000. However State and local rebates are available to further reduce upfront costs. Silicon Valley Clean Energy provides $2,500 for heat pump space heaters.
Under the proposed reach code, Path 1 to compliance is to replace cooling equipment with a heat pump ($12,327). This is a lower up-front cost as compared to Path 2, which involves replacing the AC with a new AC ($10,431) and installing energy efficient measures ($5,670).
Figure 1. One-Way AC Costs More for Same Efficiency3
On-Bill Impacts
Monthly bill impacts are also significant for residents. A Bill Savings Study from Peninsula Clean Energy and Silicon Valley Clean Energy shows that households with a heat pump will save approximately $300/year on-bill compared to AC replacement.5 Lifecycle Impacts
Another way to evaluate the impact of this proposed policy is to look at lifecycle costs, the cumulative 30-year costs and savings (inclusive of on-bill impacts). Lifecycle costs factor in that with installing a heat pump, the system will also provide heating to the home. If there is a secondary gas heating source, it will not need to be replaced at the time of the unit’s failure. Lifecycle costs show significant savings when installing a heat pump as compared to replacing the AC unit with another AC unit.

GHG Emissions
In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, heat pumps can provide significant reductions over air conditioning unit replacements alone. This is because heat pumps also provide heating and are far more efficient than gas furnaces (and electric resistance heat), and Campbell receives clean energy via electricity from Silicon Valley Clean Energy.
Table 4 shows greenhouse gas reductions for heat pump approaches, as compared to the base case of an AC replacement. The table shows greenhouse gas reductions in metric tons (for the first year) and as a percentage of total emissions for homes of different ages. The values were generated for typical homes using the California Building Energy Code Compliance software (CBECC), which assume higher grid emissions than provided by SVCE and do not account for methane leakage, meaning they are conservate GHG reduction estimates. Replacing or supplementing existing systems with a heat pump provides substantial GHG reductions, especially in older homes. On average, residents can cut household heating emissions by about one-quarter to one-third with a heat pump.

The proposed policy offers two general exceptions to the installation of a heat pump (or alternative) in place of an AC system. The first is for situations where the electrical panel capacity is insufficient to meet the load of a heat pump. The second is where the heat pump would need to very large vide (more than 12,000 Btu/hr or 1 ton) to meet the heating and cooling load.
There are also alternative methods of compliance to the duct sealing and airflow requirements, if the requirements cannot be met.
All applicable exceptions in the California Energy Code apply.
DISCUSSION – ELECTRIC READINESS
Proposed Policy Concept
The Campbell municipal code requires that all new single-family buildings must not have NOx emissions. These same regulations apply to major remodels where a residence is classified as a new building. However, the current code does not apply to renovations, remodels, and additions to residences or when a new gas appliance is installed or replaced.
The proposed Electric Readiness reach code would require “pre-wiring”, installing electric infrastructure when a gas or propane appliance is installed or replaced in existing singleItem 9.1 Tuesday, October 21, 2025 144 of 166
family homes. This approach ensures that when residents are ready to transition from gas to electric appliances, the necessary electrical wiring and outlets are already in place.
This includes installing conduit from the main service panel, and providing an appropriately sized receptacle or dedicated circuit.
Opportunities for "pre-wiring" when gas equipment is installed or replaced include:
1. Cooking Range: Install 125V receptacle and pathway for 240V/50A circuit for a future electric cooktop.
2. Clothes Dryer: Install 125V receptacle and pathway for 240V/30A circuit for a future electric dryer.
3. Water Heating: Install 125V receptacle, pathway for 240V/30A circuit, space for a condensate drain, and physical space for a heat pump water heater.
4. Space Heating: Reserve physical space for a future heat pump.
Proposed exceptions to electric-readiness requirements:
• Repairs and safety improvements
• Projects where no electrical permit is otherwise required • Cases where additional panel capacity would exceed electrical service to be installed
• Mobile homes, manufactured housing, factory-built housing • Emergency housing
• ADUs conversions pursuant to Government Code 66323
Impacts
Below are cost-estimates for typical electric infrastructure costs to demonstrate typical incremental cost of “pre-wiring”:
• Reserving breaker space: $0-$50
• Running a new dedicated circuit: Up to $1,000 per circuit • Adding conduit: Up to $1,000
The above costs are low compared to the typical initial cost of tens of thousands of dollars for major additions and alterations. Intervening at this point provides an opportunity to save money in the future by including electrical infrastructure when there is already a contract on site and there is already some demolition happening.
Available Resources for Lower Cost Renovations
Many of the compliance measures have rebates, incentives, and tax credits associated with them which could substantially reduce the cost of compliance.
Regional Coordination
Staff have been working in close coordination with Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) and TRC—a consulting and engineering firm with expertise in environmentally focused solutions—to evaluate policy design and implementation strategies. These proposed policies align with upcoming regulations from the Bay Area Air District, specifically Rules Item 9.1
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 145 of 166
9-4 and 9-6, which will phase out the installation of new natural gas furnaces (2029) and water heaters (2027). Air District staff have expressed support for local ordinances that help prepare residents and contractors for this transition. Both Sunnyvale and Mountain View have adopted Two-Way AC and Electric Readiness reach codes; four other local jurisdictions are considering adoption. Regional coordination ensures that the City’s policy approach is consistent with regional and statewide efforts, while also leveraging available technical resources and incentive programs.
Public Engagement and Next Steps
Subject to Council direction, staff would next initiate a public outreach process prior to bringing forward a formal ordinance. Outreach would include at least one community meeting to share information about the proposed policy, gather feedback from residents, contractors, and other stakeholders, and answer questions about implementation and potential impacts. Staff would then return to Council later this fall with a summary of the outreach results and a draft ordinance for consideration.
If a reach code ordinance for Two Way AC and Electric Readiness is adopted, it would then be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) for review.
Per AB 130, the CBSC must review the reach code to determine if it meets the requirements under AB 130, specifically if the reach code aligns with the adopted general plan and greenhouse gas reduction strategy and incentivizes all electric construction and complies with federal law in permitting mixed fuel residential construction. This is a new process conducted by the CBSC and staff is continuing to monitor how other agency reach codes are processed and approved. Staff will continue to monitor the status of these reviews and report to Council in its future review of the reach code ordinance, should the city pursue adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with adoption of either of these reach codes.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Provide direction for Two-Way AC Reach Code and/or Electric Readiness.
2. Take no action.

SU- 3 CAMPBELL GENERAL PLAN | SUSTAINABILITY
OVERVIEW
Sustainability is generally defined as the ability to meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
In practical terms, a sustainable approach to the development and implementation of the Campbell General Plan includes efforts to promote resource conservation, reduce pollution, improve the quality of the natural environment, and ensure that future development and city decisions help people live healthier lives.
Sustainability is a cor
elected and appointed officials. To this end, sustainability has been interwoven throughout the entire Campbell General Plan. Goals, policies and actions that further sustainable objectives are contained throughout the and also enhance quality-of-life, public health, increase energy efficiency, reduce waste, enhance biological resources, and further other objectives that are central to the General Plan.
The purpose of sustainability in Campbell, and its incorporation throughout the General Plan, is to address development and projected population growth and their potential impacts. Sustainability in Campbell means maintaining a culture of stewardship to enhance our natural environment, resources, quality of life, and economic interests for present and future generations.
Environmental and Resource Sustainability
Create a complete streets implementation guide to reflect General Plan complete street policies, including sidewalk standards, bike facility standards, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, lighting standards, drought-tolerant landscaping requirements, and Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI). The guide shall include updated streetscape standards for the c
Bascom Avenue, Winchester Boulevard and parts of West Campbell Avenue.
Social Sustainability
Social sustainability further promotes livable cities, including promoting access to outdoor opportunities, recreation, healthy foods, diverse housing options, and other aspects of urban life that allows community members to enjoy healthy and active lifestyles.

CAMPBELL GENERAL PLAN | SUSTAINABILITY SU-4
Economic Sustainability
A sustainable economy is strong and resilient, environmentally conscientious, and forward looking. It manages job and industry growth, and promotes fiscal balance, while promoting environmental stewardship objectives.
By implementing sustainable goals and policies included in the General Plan, Campbell will reduce its contribution to global climate change, and minimize and decrease consumption and use of non-renewable and natural resources, while promoting active environments, access to healthy food and demonstrating its environmental commitment and leadership to promote citywide sustainability objectives. Goals, policies and actions directly related to topics such as transportation, land use, and conservation are addressed in their respective elements, and individual elements should be consulted along with this Sustainability Element for a better understanding of General Plan sustainability initiatives.
Relationship to Community Objectives
The Sustainability Element is most closely tied to the following objective in the Campbell Community Vision to:
Relationship to Other General Plan Elements
The theme of sustainability is imbedded throughout the General Plan, and cuts across many topical areas. For example, policies in the Land Use Element support infill development and higher densities around transit hubs, which can lead to reduced vehicle trips and increased transit ridership levels. The Land Use and Community Design Elements establish sustainable development patterns that seek to promote sustainable building designs and materials, promote green building practices, while decreasing dependency on the automobile; this theme is furthered through the Transportation Element which includes policies to promote pedestrian and bicycle movement while reducing citywide vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and dependence on fossil fuels.
The Conservation and Open Space Element includes policies addressing air quality, biological resources conservation, and waste reduction.
Additionally, the Safety Element includes policies aimed at reducing the use of hazardous materials and responding to climate impacts.

SU- 5 CAMPBELL GENERAL PLAN | SUSTAINABILITY
A cohesive and balanced framework for sustainability needs to incorporate not only environmental and resource conservation principles, but also social and economic considerations. The Fiscal Sustainability and Economic Development Elements in the General Plan strive for a sustainable economic environment in the city that promotes quality local employment opportunities and a balanced city budget that is able to fund necessary services for community members. The Community Health and Wellness Element promotes local fresh food systems and active environments that reduce vehicular travel while promoting communitywide heath objectives.
When combined, the General Plan Elements promote the vision of a sustainable community. Accordingly, this element, unlike others in the General Plan, serves as an index or guide to sustainability policies embedded throughout the General Plan, and is divided into the following topic areas:
Climate Change
Sustainable Land Use Patterns
Sustainable Transportation Options
Green Building Techniques
Waste Reduction and Recycling
Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy
Water Conservation
Biological Resources

CLIMATE CHANGE
Over the next century, increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations are expected to cause a variety of changes to local climate conditions resulting in new or exacerbated climate related impacts.
Extreme heat and heat waves are existing hazards that will be exacerbated by climate change. The occurrence of extreme heat days in Santa Clara County is predicted to increase dramatically by mid- and endof century from the historical frequency, which could have significant impacts on vulnerable populations, such as the very young, old, and infirm. Additionally, seasonal variations and long-term water storage challenges resulting from reduced snowpacks may also exacerbate drought conditions and water availability.
Because local governments largely determine the shape and intensity of development through land use and transportation plans, regulations, and implementing decisions, local governments play an important role in developing climate change strategies.
The Campbell General Plan broadly address climate change in several ways including:
1. Strategies to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from city and community operations; and
2. Adaptation and resilience strategies to respond to the effects of a changing climate.
Campbell has taken a proactive and comprehensive approach to planning within the General Plan that would collectively work to help reduce GHG emissions throughout the life of the General Plan. For example, the Land Use Element promotes a mix of land use densities and uses that would promote walkability and infill development. The Transportation Element promotes reductions in vehicle miles traveled (VMT), roadway network efficiency upgrades, complete streets, and enhanced connectivity to promote walking, biking, and transit use. The Conservation and Open Space Element includes provisions for the protection of open space, reductions in air quality emissions, tree preservation, the protection of native habitat and waterways, reductions in the generation of solid waste, and promotes water conservation and energy reduction efforts.
Strategies to reduce the emissions
of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs):
Policy COS-10.1: Improve air quality
through continuing to require a
development pattern that focuses
growth in and around existing
urbanized areas, locates new housing
near places of employment,
encourages alternative modes of
transportation, supports efficient
parking strategies, reduces vehicle
miles traveled, and requires projects
to mitigate significant air quality
impacts.
Policy COS-10.2: Align the c
local GHG reduction targets with the
statewide GHG reduction targets of
Assembly Bill 32, and align the c
GHG reduction goal with the
statewide GHG reduction goal of
Executive Order S-03-05.
Policy COS-10.9: Coordinate with
Santa Clara County and nearby cities
to implement regional GHG
reduction plans and consolidate
efforts to reduce GHGs throughout
the county.
Action COS-10.c: Prepare a Climate
Action Plan that establishes GHG
reduction targets that are consistent
with Statewide GHG reduction
goals, and includes an
implementation program to achieve
the reduction targets. Periodically
review and update the Plan as
necessary to achieve the GHG
reduction targets specified in the
Plan.

Climate Action Plan (CAP)
Following completion of the Campbell General Plan Update, the city has committed to developing and adopting a Climate Action Plan (CAP) that proactively outlines the c
emissions and climate change impacts.
One key component of a Climate Action Plan is an existing greenhouse gas (GHG) baseline inventory. The inventory process requires the selection of a base year with which to compare current emissions. -wide GHG inventory assesses emissions resulting
from sources located within the city limits and from activities by community members for which the local government has significant influence over. These activities include community activities such as vehicle miles traveled, energy consumption, water usage, and solid waste disposal, as well as municipal operations (energy use, fuel usage, etc.).
While the General Plan outlines broad strategies and the c commitment to GHG reduction, the CAP will include specific GHG reduction targets and programs, correlated with
GHG reduction goals. There are many
General Plan policies that will help the community meet its reduction targets, but the CAP goes a step beyond the General Plan and provides greater levels of specificity and quantifiable objectives.
SUSTAINABLE LAND USE PATTERNS
The Land Use Element provides for a development and resource conservation pattern that promotes and encourages an efficient use of limited land resources, and facilitates the use of alternative transportation options.
Sustainability entails aligning the built environment and socioeconomic concept is meeting both present and future needs through a balanced land use map that promotes sustainability objectives through infill development that promotes transit ridership and transit-oriented development, while promoting walkable areas of this city and access to neighborhood services.
The Land Use Element includes policies that promote compact, walkable, mixed-use developments, infill development and redevelopment, protections for open space lands, while encouraging a balanced jobs-tohousing ratio.
Strategies for Sustainable Land Use
and Development Patterns:
Policy LU-1.1: Provide for a broad
range of land uses within the city
that are conveniently located in
proximity to transit opportunities,
and provide for commercial, public,
and quasi-public uses that support
and enhance the livability of
residential neighborhoods and
districts.
Policy LU-5.5: Promote transitoriented and mixed-use
development throughout Downtown
Campbell.
Goal LU-9: Facilitate the transition of
the Hamilton Avenue area into a
vibrant, transit-oriented, mixed use
district with safe and convenient
multi-modal connectivity.

CAMPBELL GENERAL PLAN | SUSTAINABILITY SU-8
Infill and Transit Oriented Development (TOD) promotes sustainability by bringing together compact, walkable communities with high quality transit systems. This creates additional opportunities for low carbon lifestyles by enabling people to live, work, and play without depending exclusively on a car for mobility. This type of lifestyle can reduce energy consumption and driving, while promoting community health objectives through active forms of transportation, enhanced by complete street concepts.
Well-designed TOD neighborhoods, complete streets, and a balanced land use map empowers people with the choice to walk, cycle, or take public transportation to meet their daily needs by providing greater transit accessibility and a mix of uses within the community fabric. This approach can not only offer a higher quality of life to Campbell residents, but also supports economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION
PATTERNS
The Transportation Element calls for improved connectivity between neighborhoods, jobs, and services, which can facilitate greater levels of walking, bicycling, and transit use. This element promotes a street network that accommodates all modes of transportation, reductions in vehicle idling times, and promotes sustainable non-auto transportation modes.
The General Plan recognizes the importance of pedestrian and bicycle travel. These modes of travel are pollution-free, while at the same time relieving pressure on roadways, improving the health of community members, and contributing to the vibrancy of neighborhoods and infrastructure through mechanisms such as linear parks and trails, and policies that support multi-modal options.
In key locations near transit, land uses will intensify and those areas may have a more urban feel, with denser buildings, a better mix of transit options, and less land devoted to the automobile. This approach will not only help the Campbell meet its greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals, it will also improve quality of life by supporting public transit, encouraging people to walk and cycle, allowing for more open space, and creating attractive public places where people enjoy spending time.
Sustainable Transportation
Strategies:
Policy T-1.1: Develop and
implement a connected multi-modal
transportation network that balances
transportation modes, encourages
non-automobile travel, and reduces
greenhouse gas emissions, while
promoting healthier travel
alternatives for all users. Policy T-1.2: Implement best practices to improve the pedestrian
and bicycle environment.
Policy T-3.2: Implement VMT
reduction measures, such as
Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) measures, and
other strategies to reduce VMT in
Campbell.
Policy T-4.2: Require new
developments and redevelopments
to use best practices in providing
pedestrian and bicycle connections
between the sites and existing and
planned facilities, including those
identified in the Bicycle Master Plan,
Pedestrian Master Plan, and other
relevant plans and documents.
Policy T-6.3: Coordinate pedestrian
and bicycle facility improvements
with pavement improvement
projects (e.g. repaving and
restriping), to the greatest extent
feasible and while taking into
consideration potential secondary
effects or unintended impacts.

GREEN BUILDING TECHNIQUES
Building development is highly regulated in the United States, and particularly in California. There are environmental regulations such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act that impose standards regarding how development interfaces with these environmental resources. But more specifically, there are also building codes and standards adopted locally that govern the design and construction of structures. Some of these standards are mandatory, others voluntary.
CALGreen is the first-in-the-nation mandatory green building standards code. In 2007, the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) developed green building standards in an effort to meet the goals of . AB 32 established a comprehensive
program of cost-effective measures to reduce statewide greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions to1990 levels by the year 2020. The purpose of through Title 24 of the California Building Code, is to improve public health, safety and general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings in the following categories: 1) planning and design, 2) energy efficiency, 3) water efficiency and conservation, 4) material conservation and resource efficiency, and 5) environmental air quality.
The provisions of the CALGreen code apply to the planning, design, operation, construction, replacement, use and occupancy, location, maintenance, removal, and demolition of every new building or structure throughout California. CALGreen requires that every new building constructed in California reduce indoor water use by 20 percent compared to existing standards (with voluntary goal standards for 30, 35 and 40 percent reductions), divert 50 percent of construction waste from landfills, and install low pollutant-emitting materials.
CALGreen Tier 1 and Tier 2 standards; these each include a series of measures that go beyond the basic CALGreen code. CALGreen also outdoor water use, with a requirement for moisture-sensing irrigation systems for larger landscape projects and mandatory inspections of energy systems (e.g., heat furnace, air conditioner, and mechanical equipment) for nonresidential buildings of more than 10,000 square feet to ensure that all are working at their maximum capacity and according to their design efficiencies. The city uses the California Building Code and Green Building Strategies:
Policy COS-8.1: Require all
development projects to comply with
the mandatory energy efficiency
requirements of the California Green
Building Standards Code
(CALGreen) and Building and
Energy Efficiency Standards.
Policy COS-8.2: Support and
encourage the implementation of
innovative and green building best
management practices including, but
not limited to, sustainable site
planning, solar opportunities, LEED
certification for new development,
the local adoption of Reach Codes,
and incorporation of net zero energy
development standards in the
California Code of Regulations
(CCR), Title 24, if feasible.
Policy COS-8.3: Promote City
operations as a model for energy
efficiency and green building and
install, as feasible, energy-efficient
lighting, appliances, and alternativeenergy infrastructure in city facilities.

the most current version of the CALGreen Code to review proposed development and renovations.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED)
LEED is an internationally-recognized rating system for certifying the design, construction, and operation of high-performance buildings; one of several in use across the globe, but probably the most popular in the United States. LEED building certification is available for all building types, including new construction and major renovations, core and shell, educational buildings, retail, commercial interiors, existing buildings, and homes. The LEED program is a point-based system. Building projects earn points for satisfying green building criteria within specific credit areas.
Projects also may earn regional priority bonus points for implementing green building strategies that address important local environment issues. Each certification rating system is organized into five environmental categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
An additional category innovation in design (or operation) focuses on sustainable building expertise as well as design measures not covered in the other categories.
The City of Campbell supports and encourages the implementation of innovative and green building best management practices including, but not limited to, sustainable site planning, solar opportunities, LEED certification for new development, and exceeding the most current ment standards in the California Code of Regulations
(CCR), Title 24.
WASTE REDUCTION AND
RECYCLING
The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939), include an implementation schedule showing that a city or county must divert 50 percent of solid waste from landfill disposal or transformation on and after January 1, 2000. SB 1016, passed in 2008, required the 50 percent diversion requirement to be calculated in a per capita disposal rate equivalent. AB 341, passed in 2012, requires that California increase its diversion rate to 75% by 2020.
The production and transport of consumer products creates large amounts of GHGs. Additionally, a large percentage of products are Strategies for Solid Waste
Reduction and Recycling:

disposed of after only one use, requiring more raw materials to be extracted to replace these products. Making new products or buildings from raw materials generally requires more energy, uses more water, and creates more air and water pollution than reusing materials or making the same product from recycled materials.
Waste reduction and recycling efforts reduce consumption and disposal, thereby conserving natural resources and landfill capacity, and avoiding production of greenhouse gases in the landfill. The city has increased recycling and waste diversion by implementing new and expanded programs and has complied with State requirements to reduce the volume of solid waste through recycling and reuse of solid waste. As a result of these past and ongoing efforts, the c
is below the target rate established by CalRecycle.
ENERGY CONSERVATION AND
RENEWABLE ENERGY
The City of Campbell supports energy conservation, and calls for programs to further reduce the energy needed for municipal operations, while supporting private energy savings opportunities. Successful municipal energy reductions will help serve as an example to encourage community-wide action. Municipal operations, however, represent only a small percentage of the total electricity and natural gas used throughout the city. Therefore, community-wide efforts are essential to achieving overall reductions in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
The Silicon Valley Clean Energy program was established in March 2016 to provide residents and businesses with a new choice to the traditional utility model, which includes a community-controlled power supply that offers electricity from cleaner energy sources at competitive rates, through the creation of a new, nonprofit public agency. In late 2016, the Campbell City Council voted to enroll the c
starting April 2017. The electricity to run city-owned facilities, parks, and streetlights, now comes from 100% renewable sources like wind and solar.
Although the city has less direct control over private operations, it does have regulatory authority in important areas like land use, building and transportation policy. Also, it has the ability to provide incentives and facilitate initiatives that promote energy conservation. Additionally, the Strategies for Energy Conservation
and Renewable Energy:
Policy COS-8.4: Pursue the use of
alternative energy and fuel-efficient
city vehicles and equipment that
meet or surpass state emissions
requirements, to the extent feasible.
Policy COS-8.5: Continue to
participate in Silicon Valley Clean
Energy (SVCE) whereby city-owned
facilities, parks, and streetlights will
run on 100% renewable energy
sources like wind and solar, and
motivate and encourage Campbell
residents and businesses to
participate in Silicon Valley Clean
Energy (SVCE) to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions and support statewide
alternative energy use.
Policy COS-8.6: Coordinate with
Pacific Gas and Electric Company
(PG&E) to increase public awareness
of electrical and natural gas
conservation practices and
programs, such as rebate programs
and energy efficiency audits.

City reviews all new development applications for compliance with CALGreen standards in energy efficiency.
The c
buildings will be critical to achieving its sustainability goals. The Community Design and Conservation and Open Space elements of the General Plan identify several policies and actions for increasing energy efficiency, including increased education about energy consumption and methods for reducing energy use, and consideration of installing energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy devices. Additionally, it is important to note that while the General Plan contains policies and actions related to energy conservation and renewable energy, it is the c
detailed measures for achieving quantifiable greenhouse gas reduction goals.
WATER CONSERVATION
Current management practices for water supply in California will continue to be impacted by a changing climate. This is in part because such practices were designed for historical climatic conditions, which are changing and will continue to change during the rest of this century and beyond. As one example, the reduction in the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which provides natural water storage, will have implications throughout under the wetter climate
projections, the loss of snow pack would pose challenges to water managers, and impact hydropower generation.
The General Plan includes policies that emphasize the importance of water conservation and use of recycled water both in city operations and in private development. The proposed General Plan includes a range of policies designed to ensure an adequate water supply for development and to minimize the potential adverse effects of increased water use. It is important to note that the City of Campbell does not provide water services within the Planning Area. As such, responsibility for the ongoing provision of water supplies and services within Campbell falls to the respective water districts who provide water within the Campbell service area.
Strategies for Water Conservation:
Policy COS-8.7: Expand water
conservation, reuse, and recycling
efforts throughout the city in order
to meet the conservation goals
established by the San Jose Water
Management Plan and the Campbell
Climate Action Plan, once adopted.
Policy COS-8.8: Encourage all public
and private landscaping in new
development and renovation projects
to be designed to reduce water
demand, prevent runoff, decrease
flooding, and recharge groundwater
through the installation of irrigation
systems, the selection of appropriate
plant material, and proper soil
preparation.
Policy COS-8.9: Maintain and
enhance the health of the
groundwater basin by encouraging
new groundwater recharge
opportunities, promoting the use of
permeable surface materials and,
providing ample areas of open space
in order to decrease surface runoff
and promote groundwater recharge,
and through the use of other LID
techniques, such bioswales, where
feasible. Policy COS-8.10: Support the use of
on-site rainwater
harvesting/catchment systems and
small-scale recycled water systems
for new and existing development.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The Conservation and Open Space Element provides the framework to contains goals and policies to protect and enhance natural resources, sensitive habitat, as well as policies to protect air and water quality.
The Conservation and Open Space Element of the General Plan supports and encourages biological resource and high value land cover conservation and protection. Specifically, the General Plan includes policies related to conserving open space, riparian habitat and native trees and vegetation throughout the planning area. The city also requires the integration of regionally native plant and trees species into development and infrastructure projects where appropriate.
Furthermore, the General Plan calls for the city to identify and provide an urban forest vision for the city through the creation of an Urban Forest Management Plan.
The City of Campbell strongly supports the preservation of street trees. ghborhoods, help to conserve
energy, clean the air, and provide a home for wildlife. The city is identified commitment to trees.
Campbell recognizes that a healthy urban forest contributes to a sustainable city. Trees consume carbon dioxide and absorb air and water pollutants. They also provide shade (which reduces energy consumption and the heat island effect), absorbs rainfall through evapotranspiration and reduces runoff and soil erosion, while providing habitat for plants and animals.
FOOD SYSTEM SUSTAINABILITY
AND COMMUNITY HEALTH AND
WELLNESS
The places where people live, work, and play profoundly shape the health of a community. Transportation options, accessible parks, crosswalks, the availability of grocery stores, and the prevalence of fast food restaurants, and real or perceived levels of crime and safety are a few examples of physical indicators that provide a framework for a community, sculpt the daily routines of residents, impact lifestyle choices, and ultimately affect public health and longevity. Collaborative work between city planners Strategies for the Conservation of
Biological Resources:
Policy COS-7.1: Preserve and
enhance biological communities that
not limited to, wetlands, riparian
areas, and aquatic habitat.
Policy COS-7.2: Preserve and
enhance the aesthetic and habitat
value of riparian corridors including
the Los Gatos and San Tomas
Aquino Creeks. Policy COS-7.3: Focus conservation
efforts on high priority conservation
areas that contain suitable habitat for
endangered, threatened, migratory,
or special-status species and that can
be managed with minimal
interference with nearby urban land
uses.
Policy COS-7.4: Conserve existing
native trees and vegetation where
possible and integrate regionally
native plant species into
development and infrastructure
projects where appropriate.
Policy COS-7.7: Build upon existing
streetscapes and develop an urban
forest along the c
and in residential neighborhoods to
provide avian habitat, sequester
carbon emissions, foster pedestrian
activity, and provide shade.

and public health professionals can help strategically develop spaces and systems for safe and healthy human activity.
In recent decades, there has been a rediscovery and professional shift in city planning that recognizes the role our built and natural environments play in public health and wellbeing. The environmental movement in the 1970s gave rise to the environmental review process, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Other urban planning concepts such as new urbanism and smart growth are attempting to reverse the impacts of urban development policies of the previous decades. All these efforts attempted to return to the traditional neighborhoods and urban form that valued a mix of uses, pedestrian and transit amenities and compact development.
Issues such as promoting walking and cycling and supporting neighborhood access to fresh foods at grocery stores and farmers markets are examples of ways that sustainable planning and public health intersect. The General Plan contains numerous policies supporting public health and wellness. For example, the promotion of fresh local foods promotes community health objectives by providing nutrient rich local food options, while also promoting environmental objectives through the reduction in food miles.
Additionally, infrastructure and land use to support local food sales including farmers markets enables local food to be used in the region where it was grown. Access to fullmarkets is also correlated with increased consumption of fruits and vegetables.
ECONOMIC AND FISCAL BALANCE
A sustainable economy is strong and resilient, environmentally conscientious, and accessible to the entire community. To be sustainable, st be diverse in order to provide stability through
economic cycles. There must be jobs for a skilled local workforce in traditional, as well as green, business sectors. It must generate tax revenue to fund quality public services for the community.
Strategies in the General Plan that promote a sustainable economy and fiscal sustainability reside primarily in the Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability Elements. Together these elements include strategies aimed at fostering a positive climate for economic development, providing an adequate supply of developable land, Strategies for Community Health
and Wellness:
Goal CHW-1:
identity as the Orchard City by
promoting local food systems and
nutritious food choices.
Policy CHW-1.1: Support urban
agriculture and encourage local
restaurants and retailers to locally
source fresh food to expand the
range of fresh fruits and vegetables
available to residents. Policy CHW-1.2: Secure the health of community members by ensuring
that residents have access to healthy
and nutritional food options.
Policy CHW-1.3: Promote the
availability of locally grown and
locally sourced food, including fresh
fruits, vegetables, and dairy.
Policy CHW-1.4: Recognize that
small-scale community agriculture
programs, including but not limited
to community gardens and urban
farms have the potential to
supplement the availability of fresh
fruits, vegetables, and other food
resources in the community, provide
economic opportunities to Campbell
residents, lower food costs, reduce
overall energy consumption and
build social cohesion.

ensuring the readiness of physical conditions and infrastructure to support development, targeting investment to help attract and support local prosperity, promoting local goods and services, creating partnerships within the region to generate jobs, and ensuring Campbell continues to be a desirable place to invest.
The city seeks to promote economic and fiscal health as an essential component of maintaining a balanced community. The Economic recognizing the importance of supporting local businesses while broadening and expanding the employment base and economic fiscal vitality are inter-dependent. A vital local economy ensures that private investment is taking place in the community, while generating needed tax revenues to support public services and facilities and conservation goals. The Fiscal Sustainability Element presents goals, policies, and actions relating to the city's long-term financial health and prosperity. The ability of the city to provide services such as, parks and recreation, capital improvements, code enforcement, and planning is dependent on the city collecting adequate revenues.
Communities that create opportunities for residents through sustainability practices to engage in physical activity and make healthy food choices generally have healthier residents. The economic benefits may include lower healthcare costs for business, employees and public agencies. In addition, sustainability strategies can impr bottom line through reduced energy and resource costs, and through enhancing the built environment in order to attract new economic activity into more walkable and revitalized areas, and improve connectivity. Furthermore, communities that provide well-balanced land use and development patterns include a variety of housing options, commercial developments and efficient and convenient transportation choices that attract investments in new and expanded businesses.
Strategies for Economic and Fiscal
Sustainability:
Policy ED-1.2: Coordinate economic
development within the city, region
and state to enhance opportunities.
Policy ED-2.9: Promote local
purchase of goods and services by
residents, workers, businesses and
city government so as to cycle dollars
back into the local economy and
generate revenue for the city.
Policy ED 3-2: Maintain an adequate
inventory of sites zoned and
designated for a variety of business
types and sizes.
Policy ED-4.5: Promote catalyst
projects at key locations to stimulate
private retail and commercial
investment and revitalize existing
neighborhoods in need of such
projects. Examples may include
streetscape and pedestrian corridor
enhancements; large-scale mixed use
projects that include vibrant groundfloor retail and dining establishments; and employment
generating uses in proximity to
transit stations, which have the
potential to increase pedestrian
activity. Policy ED-5.1: Strive to carry out and
facilitate implementation and
development of approved Area
Plans and Master Plans that were
created, consistent with the General
Plan, to offer a unique set of localserving commercial establishments, attractive streetscapes, higherdensity housing, and convenient and efficient circulation.
