Executive Summary: Staff is recommending amendments to three separate sections of the Fremont Municipal Code (FMC). The first code amendment would include an update to FMC Chapter 8.70 to expand the definition of rental unit that is entitled to tenant relocation assistance under the ordinance to be consistent with state law. The second code amendment would clarify existing language in the Tobacco Retailers Licensing (TRL) Ordinance, FMC Chapter 8.75 related to license suspensions and revocations and also update the definition of “flavored tobacco product.” The third code amendment would add a new Chapter in Title 8 (Health and Safety) to implement the requirements of two state laws (SB721 and SB326) related to required periodic inspections of exterior elevated elements (EEE) in multi-family apartment and condominium buildings.
The ordinances were introduced by the City Council at its May 6, 2025 meeting.
The ordinance is now before the Council for adoption.
