PG&E EV FLEET PROGRAM PARTICIPANT DATA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS EV Fleet program participants are required to provide site, equipment, and utilization data for at least 5 years from the time chargers are operational. Sites are required to install chargers with Application Program Interface (API) communication capability.

Below are the data and metrics that may be collected by PG&E through the API. PG&E will contact EVSPs after EVSEs are activated to initiate API testing. Upon activation, Customer must give consent to their EVSP to provide API data to PG&E and its agents and representatives.

Customer agrees to receive and respond to customer surveys throughout the project lifecycle including post-installation, upon request of PG&E or an associated party.

Off-road vehicles: Sites with off-road vehicles are excluded from API requirements but must install a separate meter that is dedicated for EV charging. In addition, due to the need for PG&E to report charger usage data to the CPUC, no form of generation or distributed generation (including solar and battery storage) may be installed onto this meter panel until five years after the date of project activation.

1 See D.18-01-024 at Appendix A.
2 2017 NEC Article 100, Definitions, includes an informational note regarding AHJ: “The phrase ‘authority having jurisdiction’ or its acronym AHJ, is used in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) documents in a broad manner, since jurisdictions and approval agencies vary, as do their responsibilities. Where public safety is primary, the authority having jurisdiction may be a federal, state, local, or other regional department or individual such as a fire chief; fire marshal; chief of a fire prevention bureau, labor department, or health department; building official; electrical inspector; or others having statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department, rating bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the authority having jurisdiction. In many circumstances, the property owner or his or her designated agent assumes the role of the authority having jurisdiction; at government installations, the commanding officer or departmental official may be the authority having jurisdiction.”

ITEM NO. 13

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR SEPTEMBER 21, 2026
Prepared By: Jaylen French, City Manager
Date: September 14, 2026
Subject: Adopt Urgency Ordinance No. XXX, Enacting a 45-day Moratorium on the Approval of Any Land Use Entitlement and/or Agreement to Allow the Operation of a Data Center
Recommendation:

Adopt Urgency Ordinance No. XXX, enacting a 45-day moratorium on the approval of any land use entitlement and/or agreement to allow the operation of a data center.

Strategic Plan Priority:

This item is not directly consistent with the Escalon 2025-2026 Strategic Plan.

Background:

In July 2026, the City Council requested a discussion on how to regulate future data center development via an Agenda Item Request submitted by Mayor Hagan and supported by Councilmember Kay. On July 20, 2026, the Council discussed and directed staff to bring additional information regarding this matter, including specific options to regulate data centers.

Data centers can present land use and infrastructure considerations that differ from more traditional commercial or industrial development, including potentially significant utilities demand (especially electricity and water use), backup generation, noise, and additional infrastructure requirements. On September 8, 2026, at the regularly scheduled Escalon City Council meeting, City staff presented five (5) data center regulation options for Council’s consideration, including:

Option 1 – Interim Moratorium While the City Pursues Permanent Regulations Option 2 – Council-Adopted Prohibition
Option 3 – Voter-Approved Action at the 2028 General Election Option 4 – Special Election Before 2028
Option 5 – Council Ordinance Requiring Voter Approval of Future Data Center Projects At that meeting, the Escalon City Council provided direction to staff to: 1) bring forward an interim moratorium on data centers, 2) subsequently, bring forward a permanent prohibition on data centers

Page 159 of 167 ends

to be adopted by Council, and finally, 3) draft and prepare a ballot measure concerning data centers for voter consideration at the 2028 General Election.

Discussion:

This item is to implement Council directed Item #1, and brings before the Council for their consideration an Urgency Ordinance to enact a 45-day moratorium on data centers. Staff has incorporated the concerns City Council shared about data centers in this interim moratorium, including imminent dangers to the public health, to water and utility supply reliability, air quality, noise, the environment, and the City’s land use goals, for City Council’s consideration. The 45- moratorium is intended to preserve the status quo and provide the City with sufficient time to prepare a permanent prohibition on data centers. A 4/5ths vote is required to pass the interim Urgency Ordinance.

The permanent prohibition (Council directed Item #2) will be considered by the City Planning Commission, after which staff will bring the Planning Commission’s recommendation to City Council. Since the permanent prohibition contemplates changes to the City’s land use and zoning regulations, it will be subject to noticing requirements for public hearings, which will push out adoption of the permanent prohibition past the 45 days of the interim Urgency Ordinance. Further, a permanent prohibition ordinance, if adopted by City Council, will require two readings and will take effect 30 days after its adoption, which would also extend beyond the 45 days. As a result, while the permanent prohibition process is pending, staff will return to City Council for an extension of the interim 45-day Urgency Ordinance. Consistent with Government Code section 65858, after notice and public hearing, City Council may (by a 4/5ths vote) extend the 45-day Urgency Ordinance for 10 months and 15 days.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct negative fiscal impact associated with adopting an Urgency Ordinance to establish a temporary moratorium on data centers. The potential negative or positive fiscal impact associated with a permanent ban on data centers is impossible to determine at this time.

CITY COUNCIL
URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. XXX

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ESCALON, IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858 ENACTING FOR A PERIOD OF FORTY-FIVE (45) DAYS A MORATORIUM

ON THE APPROVAL OF ANY LAND USE ENTITLEMENTS AND/OR

AGREEMENTS TO ALLOW THE OPERATION OF DATA CENTERS IN THE

CITY OF ESCALON

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ESCALON DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Urgency Findings. In accordance with California Government Code Section 65858 and in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare, the City Council of the City of Escalon adopts the following findings in support of this Urgency Ordinance and finds that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety or welfare of the residents of the City of Escalon:

A. Authority and Purpose.
1 California Government Code Section 65858 authorizes a city council to adopt, as an urgency measure, an interim ordinance prohibiting land uses that may conflict with contemplated general plan, specific plan, zoning, or development standard amendments that the City is studying or intends to study within a reasonable time.

2. California Government Code Section 65858 further requires that the City Council find that there exists a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of use permits, building permits, subdivisions, variances, or other entitlements would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare.

3. The City of Escalon is currently studying and intends to study potential amendments to its General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, development standards, infrastructure capacity, and environmental review thresholds relating to the establishment and operation of data centers and high-intensity digital infrastructure uses to determine appropriate regulatory standards or, alternatively, their prohibition; as part of these studies, the City of Escalon is also considering negative impacts to the City’s Planning Area.

4. A “data center” as defined herein in Section 2 below, without appropriate study and standards, could impose substantial and potentially irreversible impacts on local water supplies, electrical infrastructure, reliability of utilities, air quality, Attachment 1

Page 161 of 167 ends

Ordinance No. XXX

Page 2 of 7 ends

2 noise, fire suppression, emergency response, public safety, the environment, and community character.

5. The City Council finds that, absent immediate action, applications for new data centers or conversion of existing structures into data centers could be submitted, processed, and vested under existing regulations before the City completes the necessary study and adopts updated regulations specifically tailored to address, or alternatively, prohibit the unique operational, environmental, infrastructure, and public safety impacts associated with such uses.

B. Emerging Nature of Data Center Development.

1. Advances in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency processing, and large-scale digital storage and computing have resulted in a substantial increase in proposals for large industrial-scale data centers throughout California and the western United States.

2. Data centers differ substantially from traditional office, industrial, warehouse, or research and development uses because they may operate continuously on a twenty-four-hour basis; consume extraordinarily high amounts of water and electrical power; require extensive cooling infrastructure; rely upon diesel backup generators and hazardous materials systems; and generate persistent noise, heat, vibration, and infrastructure demands that are not adequately addressed under the City’s current zoning regulations.

3. The City’s existing zoning code and development standards were adopted before the emergence of modern hyperscale and artificial intelligence-oriented data centers and therefore do not adequately regulate the intensity, utility demand, operational characteristics, environmental impacts, or cumulative impacts associated with such facilities.

C. Threats to Electrical Infrastructure and Grid Reliability.

1. The City Council finds that data centers may impose extraordinary and concentrated electrical loads on local transmission and distribution systems, potentially requiring substantial upgrades to substations, transformers, transmission infrastructure, and backup generation systems.

2. It is not known whether the City’s existing electrical infrastructure is designed to accommodate multiple large-scale data center facilities or highdensity computing campuses with continuous baseload demand requirements.

3. The City Council further finds that approval of data center projects may adversely affect grid reliability, increase the risk of service interruptions, strain emergency backup systems, and impair the ability of utility providers to serve existing residential, commercial, school, hospital, and public safety uses.

Ordinance No. XXX

Page 3 of 7 ends

3 D. Water Supply and Drought Resiliency Concerns.

1. Many modern data centers rely upon substantial quantities of water for cooling and climate-control systems, and the City anticipates not being able to meet this high demand.

2. The City is located in the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Subbasin, which is classified by the California Department of Water Resources as critically overdrafted; according to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), a basin is subject to critical overdraft when continuation of present water management practices would probably result in significant adverse overdraft-related environmental, social, or economic impacts.

3. According to the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Sustainability Plan, portions of the Eastern San Joaquin Subbasin have experienced long-term declines, and continued decline can increase pumping costs, reduce well yields, and eventually strand municipal supply wells.

4. The June 10, 2026 Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Authority water report for Water Year 2025 estimates that basin storage declined by approximately 84,100 acre-feet, following a roughly 55,000-acre-foot decline in Water Year 2024.

5. The City is located within a region subject to recurring drought conditions, continued SGMA groundwater management obligations, water supply constraints, and increasing long-term uncertainty regarding water availability, and these conditions are present without a data center.

6. A 2024 data center energy usage report prepared by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that some data center facilities can use approximately 300,000 gallons of water per day; such high water demand is likely to deplete the City groundwater well aquifer.

7. The City Council finds that the approval of data centers threatens the City’s ability to comply with its SGMA obligations, to achieve water basin sustainability, and to preserve adequate water supplies for residential neighborhoods, commercial establishments, schools, parks, hospitals, fire suppression, and other essential community needs.

8. The City Council further finds that existing development standards do not presently include sufficient operational limitations, water efficiency standards, drought contingency provisions, or cumulative water demand limits specifically applicable to data centers.

Ordinance No. XXX

Page 4 of 7 ends

4 E. Public Health and Environmental Impacts.

1. Data centers commonly utilize large-scale cooling equipment, industrial ventilation systems, emergency backup generators, battery storage systems, transformers, and fuel storage facilities that may create significant noise, vibration, air quality, heat island, and hazardous materials impacts affecting nearby residential and sensitive land uses.

2. The City Council finds that backup diesel generators associated with data centers may create localized emissions impacts during testing, maintenance, or emergency operation and may adversely affect nearby residential neighborhoods, schools, childcare centers, senior housing facilities, and medically vulnerable populations.

3. The City Council further finds that the City’s current zoning regulations do not contain adequate buffering, setback, noise attenuation, generator operation, emissions mitigation, or environmental performance standards specifically tailored to data center operations.

4. The City Council additionally finds that data centers frequently generate comparatively low employment opportunities relative to the intensity of land consumption, infrastructure demand, and utility usage associated with such facilities, thereby raising substantial land use compatibility and public welfare concerns regarding the long-term allocation of scarce industrial land and utility resources.

F. Fire, Emergency Response, and Public Safety Concerns.

1. Data centers and associated energy infrastructure may involve substantial quantities of batteries, fuel storage systems, electrical equipment, cooling systems, and other facilities that pose unique fire suppression, hazardous materials, and emergency response challenges.

2. The City has identified the need to evaluate whether existing Fire Department staffing levels, training protocols, hazardous materials response capabilities, water pressure availability, and fire suppression infrastructure are adequate to safely serve large-scale data center facilities.

3. The City Council finds that approval of data center facilities before completion of such evaluations may create immediate and unacceptable risks to emergency response operations, firefighter safety, and neighboring properties.

G. Need for Immediate Interim Moratorium.

1. The City Council finds that there is a current, imminent, and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare arising from the potential

Page 164 of 167 ends

Ordinance No. XXX

Page 5 of 7 ends

5 establishment of data centers under the City’s existing zoning and development regulations, which were not designed to address the unique and intensive operational characteristics of such uses.

2. The City Council further finds that the approval of additional land use entitlements, building permits, grading permits, use permits, variances, subdivisions, or any other applicable approvals for data center development during the period in which the City lacks appropriate regulatory controls would result in and exacerbate the threats identified herein.

3. The City Council additionally finds that, without the immediate adoption of this interim urgency ordinance, developers could obtain vested rights or approvals under existing regulations before the City has an opportunity to complete studies and/or adopt reasonable regulations necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; or alternatively, to prohibit data centers entirely.

4. The City Council finds that a temporary moratorium is necessary to preserve the status quo while the City evaluates and considers appropriate amendments to its General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, development standards, utility allocation policies, environmental review procedures, and public safety regulations applicable to data centers.

5. The City Council finds that the adoption of this interim urgency ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858 and the City’s police powers under Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution.

6. Based upon all evidence contained in the administrative record, the City Council hereby finds that this interim urgency ordinance is necessary to avoid current and immediate threats to the public health, safety, and welfare pending completion of the studies and regulatory actions described herein.

SECTION 2. Moratorium. The City of Escalon shall not issue or approve any General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, zone change, building permit, occupancy permit, conditional use permit, variance, subdivision map or other land use entitlement, agreement or permit or regulatory license or permit required to comply with the provisions of the City of Escalon Municipal Code for the construction, operation or development of a “data center” by any private or public entity on any property within the City, including any Planning Area that may become a part of the City, during the time that this Urgency Ordinance is in effect, and continuing for the time set forth in any action taken to extend this moratorium.

For purposes of this Urgency Ordinance, “data center” shall mean a structure, facility, or group of structures or facilities, or site used primarily for the storage, management, processing, and transmission of digital data and that houses computer or network equipment, systems, servers, appliances, and other associated components related to digital data storage, processing,

Page 165 of 167 ends

Ordinance No. XXX

Page 6 of 7 ends

6 and related operations. Data center uses include data storage facilities, small data storage facilities, server farms, cryptocurrency farms, artificial intelligence training or processing, image processing, cloud computing, email servicing, and other similar uses and appurtenant facilities.

SECTION 3. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act. The City Council finds that this Urgency Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; it prevents changes in the environment pending its duration.

SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Urgency Ordinance was adopted by the necessary four-fifths vote of the members of the City Council pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, and shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

SECTION 5. Publishing. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Urgency Ordinance and cause the same or a summary thereof to be published within fifteen (15) days after adoption in a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in Escalon, California.

SECTION 6. Term. This Ordinance is an Urgency Ordinance, enacted pursuant to Government Code section 65858. The term of this Urgency Ordinance shall be for 45 days from the date of adoption and shall expire and be of no further force or effect, unless and until extended in accordance with Government Code section 65858.
