COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5518) DOC ID: 5518
Updated: 9/11/2025 8:36 AM by Dina Lewis Page 1
CONDOR SECURITY OF AMERICA AGREEEMENT – Authorization for the City Manager to enter into a agreement with Condor Security of America to Provide Security Services at the Fremont Family Resource Center Contact Persons:

Name: Alina Kwak Arquimides Caldera
Title: Family Resource Center
Administrator
Human Services Director
Div/Dept: Human Services Department Human Services Department Phone: 510-574-2004 510-574-2056
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: In April 2025, the City of Fremont (City) released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for security services at the Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC). Condor Security of America (Condor) submitted a proposal through the RFP process, and City staff recommends the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Condor effective October 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, for security guard services in an amount not-to-exceed $589,614. Funding for the first year of this agreement was appropriated as part of the FY 2025/26 Adopted Operating Budget.

BACKGROUND: Since 2000, the FRC has contracted for security services to ensure the safety of the clients and staff of its more than 20 agencies. Condor has been providing security services to the FRC since 2020.

In April 2025, the City released an RFP for security services at the Fremont Family Resource Center. As initially recommended by City staff, the City Council authorized an agreement with American Global Security on June 17, 2025. However, City staff subsequently determined that it was in the best interests of the FRC, as well its clients and staff, to maintain continuity in the provision of security services and terminated the agreement with American Global Security. Accordingly, City staff recommends the City enter into an agreement with Condor Security of America to provide security services for the FRC through June 30, 2030, a term of 4 years and 9 months.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Condor was founded in 1980 and has served under the same leadership since 2011. Condor has significant experience in providing security guard services in social service settings such as the FRC, housing authorities, and social service agencies. Condor’s key personnel have an average of 15 to 30 years in the security guard industry, and its office is in the Tri-City area.

The proposed agreement with Condor for security guard services includes 50 hours of weekly on-site security: Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; and 9 hours of patrol services during weekday nights, early mornings, weekends, and holidays.

FISCAL IMPACT: The recommended action has no impact on the General Fund. Costs for the proposed agreement are covered in the Family Resource Center Fund (Fund 108)

Council Staff Report (ID # 5518) Meeting of September 16, 2025 Updated: 9/11/2025 8:36 AM by Dina Lewis Page 2
through tenant lease payments. In anticipation of this agreement, sufficient funding was appropriated in Fund 108 as part of the FY 2025/26 Adopted Operating Budget.

4-year 9-month Agreement with Condor

Date/Fiscal Year Amount
October 1, 2025-June 30, 2025 $ 87,430
FY 2026/27 120,044
FY 2027/28 123,656
FY 2028/29 127,343
FY 2029/30 131,141
Total: $589,614

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act because, without limitation, it is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378(b)(2), 15378(b)(4), and/or 15378(b)(5), and because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the environment as specified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

ATTACHMENTS: None.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5521) DOC ID: 5521
Updated: 9/12/2025 9:30 AM by Dina Lewis Page 1
CUPA/HAZMAT STATE SURCHARGE DECREASE - Adopt a Resolution to Amend the Master Fee Schedule to Implement Changes to Conform to CalEPA's Certified Unified Program (CUPA) Fees Passed through to the State Contact Persons:

Name: Corina Campbell Eric Govan
Title: Business Manager Fire Marshal
Div/Dept: Fire Department Fire Department
Phone: 510-494-4200 510-494-4200
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to adopt a resolution to amend the Master Fee Schedule to reflect the fee decrease to State General Oversight Surcharge that is collected by the City’s Fire Prevention Bureau. The California Environmental Protection Program (CalEPA) has revised the fee to decrease from $94.00 to $79.00 annually per business/facility as of Fiscal Year 2025/26.

BACKGROUND: In 1993 state legislation created the Unified Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials Management Regulatory Program (Unified Program), which consolidated the administration, permit, inspection, and enforcement activities of six hazardous materials and waste programs. The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) oversees the statewide implementation of the Unified Program and its 83 certified local government agencies, known as Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPA).

The Fremont Fire Prevention Bureau has local oversight, administration and implements the CUPA Programs for businesses in Fremont. They ensure that the over 1,100 regulated facilities in such diverse sectors as automotive, semiconductor, medical device, opto-electronic, alternative fuel and biotechnology research, development and manufacturing meet state regulations in order to maintain safe places to work and protect the environment.

State law requires each CUPA to assess a surcharge, in an amount determined by CalEPA, on the regulated persons and businesses, to cover the costs of the state agencies in carrying out their responsibilities under the Unified Program.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: As of August 22, 2025, the Unified Program State General Oversight Surcharge has been decreased annually from $94.00 to $79.00 per business/facility. The $15.00 decrease will be divided as follows: the $27.00 previously collected for the implementation and maintenance of the California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) NextGen project is eliminated and has been replaced by a $9.00 CERS NextGen Project Staff Cost Variance, and $3.00 for Staff Salary Increases. The State Surcharges affecting each entity regulated under the Unified Program are used to fund the costs of all State Agencies with Unified Program oversight responsibilities. CUPA agencies (Fire Prevention) are responsible for billing and collecting the state surcharges from each regulated business or facility.

2.D
Packet Pg. 13
Council Staff Report (ID # 5521) Meeting of September 16, 2025 Updated: 9/12/2025 9:30 AM by Dina Lewis Page 2

For the last four years the CUPAs have collected and remitted the funds necessary to cover the cost of CERS replacement. When CalEPA increased the State Surcharge in 2021, CalEPA intended to decrease the Oversight surcharge component in 2025 (after CERS NextGen was built) to cover system maintenance and operations. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the project to replace CERS has been extended through 2026. Therefore, CalEPA will not have any maintenance and operation costs until system development is completed and after the new system (CERS NextGen) is live, which is now anticipated to be January 1, 2027.

However, it is necessary to cover CalEPA CERS NextGen project staff costs (salary and benefits) to assist with building CERS NextGen and associated costs (e.g., office space, phones and other equipment).

The State agencies involved in the implementation of the Unified Program are responsible for setting program element standards, working with CalEPA to ensure program consistency and providing technical assistance to CUPAs. The following state agencies consolidate programs to form the Unified Program; California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), CAL FIRE Office of the State Fire Marshal (CAL FIRE-OSFM) and the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board).

FISCAL IMPACT: None. The fees collected will be passed through to the State.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The action to amend the municipal fee schedule to reflect increases in state surcharge amounts is not a project subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15378, as it is an administrative activity that will not result in physical changes in the environment .

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5527) DOC ID: 5527
Updated: 9/11/2025 9:55 AM by Dina Lewis Page 1

ALAMEDA COUNTY HEALTH AGREEMENT TO FUND YOUTH AND FAMILY OPPORTUNITY PROGRAMS - Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute an Agreement for FY 2025/26 with Alameda County Health in the amount of $203,211 to Fund the Family Support Services Program at the Fremont Family Resource Center Family and the Department of Human Resources Youth and Family Services Division's Why Try Cognitive Behavioral Groups Program Contact Persons:

Executive Summary: Alameda County Health (ACH) has renewed its commitment to fund the Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC), as well as the Human Services Department Division of Youth and Family Services program entitled Why Try behavioral groups. Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with ACH in the amount of $203,211.

BACKGROUND: Since FY 2006/07, Alameda County Health (ACH) has provided Measure A funding to the Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC) to support its infrastructure and family support services, as well as other City programs consistent with the County’s Youth and Family Opportunity (YFO) Initiative. The purpose of the YFO Initiative is to strengthen the capacity of “anchor” community-based organizations to provide a continuum of integrated, high quality, and accessible, school-linked health and wellness support for youth and families.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: For FY 2025/26, ACH is providing funding to both the FRC and the Why Try cognitive behavioral groups program run by the Department of Human Services Youth and Family Services Division (YFS).

Fremont Family Resource Center: The FRC offers family support coordinators (social workers) who partner with parents and caregivers to assist them with access to resources, including health care and health insurance, housing, mental health, immigration services, and services for individuals with disabilities.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5528) DOC ID: 5528

FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATION REDUNDANCY PHASE 1 PROJECT - Approval of Plans and Specifications; Award of Contract to MP Nexlevel of California, Inc. in the Amount of $376,173.05 (including 15% Contingency) for the Fiber Optic Communication Redundancy Phase I Project (PWC9115); Appropriation Actions; and Make Findings of CEQA Exemption

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to facilitate the construction of fiber optic communication infrastructure and installation of network equipment upgrades to improve redundancy and reliability of the City’s fiber optic communications network.

BACKGROUND: A reliable communication network is an integral part of a modern, well-connected city and is critical to support a community’s ongoing economic growth and vitality. Recognizing this, the City has invested in the planning and building of a well-connected and reliable fiber optic communications network to support critical services, including emergency response, traffic signal communications, public Wi-Fi, and various city programs.

In July 2022, City Council adopted the Fiber Optic Master Plan (Fiber Master Plan) that defined strategies and identified a citywide network of fiber optic infrastructure to support government facilities, commercial/industrial corridors, and potentially providing broadband alternatives for the City’s residents. One of the core objectives identified by the Fiber Master Plan is the implementation of a redundancy network “ring”, utilizing the existing fiber optic communications infrastructure along the I-880 freeway to allow for a backup path of communication for the City’s fiber optic network.

In 2019, the City executed a reciprocal use agreement with the Bay Area Infrastructure Financing Authority (BAIFA), which operates the fiber optic communication infrastructure along the I-880 corridor through Alameda County that was installed as part of the I-880 Express Lanes Project. Under the agreement, the City is allowed to utilize BAIFA’s fiber optic lines along I-880 within the City limit for City communications, while BAIFA is allowed to utilize part of the City’s fiber optic network along Mowry Avenue to ultimately communicate to their various regional data centers. The proposed Fiber Optic Communication Redundancy Project Phase 1 will construct the necessary infrastructure at the various I-880 freeway interchanges, connect the City fiber optic network to the BAIFA fiber optic network, and ultimately create the redundancy network “ring” that is identified in the Fiber Master Plan.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Bids for this project were publicly opened on July 8, 2025. The bidders with their respective bid amounts are shown below. Engineer’s Estimate is $316,249.00.

Bidder Bid Amount

1. MP Nexlevel of California, Inc. $327,107.00

2. St. Francis Electric, LLC. $375,490.00

Bid Protest: St. Francis Electric, LLC., the second low bidder, submitted a bid protest within the applicable time period (see attached letter). Staff reviewed the bid protest and found it without merit. Therefore, staff recommends rejecting the bid protest and awarding the contract to MP Nexlevel of California, Inc.

The St. Francis Electric, LLC. Protest letter cited one argument for their basis for protest as follows:

1. MP Nexlevel of California, Inc. “designated a subcontractor for use in the project whose registration with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) was expired.”

City Response: The City of Fremont confirmed on the DIR website that the subcontractor in question does have an active DIR registration at the time of bid opening (July 8, 2025). For the reason set forth above, staff recommends that the City Council reject St. Francis Electric, LLC.’s bid protest as without merit and award the contract to MP Nexlevel of California, Inc., the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The low bidder, MP Nexlevel of California, Inc. submitted a responsive bid and all documents are in order. The contractor is a responsible bidder experienced in this type of work and has satisfactorily completed contracts of similar nature with other nearby agencies.

Project Costs and Funding:

Estimated Project Costs:

Construction Contract Cost (Lowest Responsible Bid) $ 327,107.00 Construction Contingency (15%) 49,066.05
Construction Management, Inspection, and Administration (City staff) 50,000.00 Total Costs $426,173.05

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5525) DOC ID: 5525

AGE WELL CENTER AT SOUTH FREMONT - Consider Proposed Prepayment of Remaining Age Well Center Project Costs, Related Appropriation Actions Contact Persons:

Name: David Persselin Cliff Nguyen
Title: Finance Director Assistant Planning
Manager/Zoning Administrator
Div/Dept: Finance Department Community Development
Phone: 510-494-4631 510-284-4017
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The developer of the Age Well Center at South Fremont (Age Well Center) has proposed that the City prepay the remaining balance of the project cost at a discounted amount. Funds are available for this purpose in the Age Well Center Acquisition Reserve (Acquisition Reserve). As the discount appears to be adequate to compensate the City for future interest earnings on the Acquisition Reserve, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute any necessary documents, pay the discounted amount, close the Acquisition Reserve, and release the remaining reserve allocation to fund balance in the Capital Improvement Fund.

BACKGROUND: The Age Well Center was constructed by East Warren Park LLC (Developer) and accepted by the City on September 23, 2021. Under the terms and conditions of the March 2016 Development Agreement (DA) and June 2018 Public Improvement Agreement (PIA), as amended, for the construction and conveyance of the Age Well Center and its underlying 1.5-acre parcel to the City, the City is required to pay the Developer for the total actual out-of-pocket costs the Developer incurred for constructing the Age Well Center, which totaled $15,172,673.

Upon acceptance of the Age Well Center in September 2021, the City paid the Developer approximately $3.3 million (cost of the land at $2.2 million and $1.1 million in City-requested change orders) plus capital facilities impact fee revenue collected from the 493 units included in the approved master plan, which totaled approximately $754,000.

After the initial reimbursement, the City owed the Developer approximately $11.1 million.

In accordance with the DA, the City is required to pay the remaining amount of the project cost in eight annual installments beginning September 1, 2022. Each annual payment is the difference between the total amount of capital facilities impact fee revenue collected during the prior fiscal year and the lesser of $1 million or the amount of capital facilities impact fee revenue used to pay debt service on existing City obligations. The unpaid balance accrues interest at 0.86%, compounded annually. Any unpaid amount remaining after the last installment from the Capital Facilities Impact Fee Fund on September 1, 2029, must be paid from other City sources. As of September 1, 2025, the remaining balance of the project cost is $9,378,608.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5525) Meeting of September 16, 2025 Updated: 9/12/2025 9:19 AM by Dina Lewis Page 2
Prepayment Proposal: As capital facilities fee revenues have declined along with the slowdown the City has experienced in development activity, the Developer has proposed that the City prepay the balance of the project cost now, with a discount to compensate the City for interest it would otherwise earn over the remaining four years of the repayment term. Staff estimates that the Developer’s proposed discount of $1.1 million is reasonable given the current level of interest rates, the expectation of future reductions, and the interest accruing on the unpaid project cost.

Age Well Center Acquisition Reserve: In July 2021, the City Council appropriated $9.1 million in the Capital Improvement Fund as the Age Well Center Acquisition Reserve.

The Acquisition Reserve was intended to serve as the ultimate source of payment to the Developer should capital facilities impact fee revenues prove insufficient.

If the City were to prepay the project cost from the Acquisition Reserve, it would lose the opportunity to earn interest on the reserve balance but avoid accruing interest on the unpaid portion of the project cost. Staff believes the proposed discount would adequately compensate the City for this opportunity cost. Additionally, the remaining balance in the reserve would immediately become available for allocation to other capital improvement projects, while future capital facilities fee revenues would be freed up for allocation to eligible projects.

Staff recommends that the City Council accept the Developer’s proposal and authorize the City Manager to execute any necessary documents, make the prepayment from and then close the Acquisition Reserve, and release the remaining reserve balance of $821,392 to unallocated fund balance in the Capital Improvement Fund.

FISCAL IMPACT: As the City Council has previously established an appropriation for this purpose in the Acquisition Reserve (PWC9063-501), no additional funding action is necessary. However, staff recommends that the City Council approve closing the Acquisition Reserve after the prepayment is completed and releasing the remaining balance to make it available for appropriation to other projects.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The recommended action is a financial transaction and is “not a project” as defined by CEQA and is exempt from CEQA review under Section 15378(b)(2) and (b)(5).

RECOMMENDATIONS:

2. Find that the recommended action is a financial transaction and is “not a project” as defined by CEQA and is exempt from CEQA review under Section 15378(b)(2) and (b)(5).

Executive Summary: In September 2025, the City of Fremont (City) reached a tentative agreement with the Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3 (OE3) for a successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The bargaining unit is made up of 111 members.

The proposed MOU contains the following changes from the prior agreement term: modest compensation increase (inclusive of a parity clause) and health-benefit allowance increases.

The remaining substantive provisions of the MOU are unchanged. The effective dates of the successor MOU are September 21, 2025 (the start of the first full pay period following notification of OE3 ratification), through June 30, 2026.

BACKGROUND: The City’s current MOU with OE3 expired on June 30, 2025. The City’s negotiating team met and conferred with OE3 representatives regarding a successor agreement and signed a tentative agreement on September 10, 2025. The City received notice that OE3 members ratified the tentative agreement on September 8, 2025. California Government Code Section 3505.1 requires the City Council to vote on the proposed successor MOU at a duly noticed public meeting.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The significant changes in the proposed successor MOU include:

1. Employee Compensation:
a) Effective the start of the first full pay period following OE3 ratification of the tentative agreement, OE3 members will receive a base wage increase of

1.3%.

2. Health Benefit Allowance:
a) Effective the first of the month following OE3 ratification of the tentative agreement, the unit’s health benefit allowance will be increased by $100 per month (new health benefit allowance totals will be: $1,771 per month for employee only coverage, $2,595 per month for two-party coverage, and $3,107 per month for family coverage).

b) Effective January 1, 2026, the unit’s health benefit allowance will be increased by an additional $100 per month (new health benefit allowance totals will be:
$1,871 per month for employee only coverage, $2,695 per month for two-party coverage, and $3,207 per month for family coverage).

3. Parity or “Me Too”:
a) If during the term of this Memorandum of Understanding, the City grants a general, across-the-board wage increase to another bargaining unit greater than 1.3%, the City agrees to extend the equivalent general wage increase to all OE3 classifications listed in Appendix A. This provision does not apply to increases as a result of any market equity increases or increases based on internal relationships. This provision will sunset at 11:59pm on June 30, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. Compensation Increase:
a) Fiscal Year 2025/26 Anticipated Fiscal Impact: $168,695

2. Health Benefit Allowance
a) Fiscal Year 2025/26 Anticipated Fiscal Impact: $110,100

Staff will return to the City Council with recommended adjustments to the FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget reflecting the terms of the approved MOU.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed approval of a successor MOU is exempt from and not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because, without limitation, it is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) and/or 15378(b)(5), and it has no possibility of having a significant effect on the environment, as specified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

Executive Summary: California has published the 2025 Buildings Standards Codes (Codes), with most parts becoming effective on January 1, 2026. The 2025 Codes include regulatory updates and enhancements, and the City Council must adopt the new Codes to make them effective in the City. Staff recommends adoption of the 2025 California Fire Code (CFC) and the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (CWUIC), with local amendments. The local amendments align Fremont's local regulations with the latest state standards while incorporating specific administrative and technical modifications tailored to the City's unique local conditions. The proposed ordinances carry forward provisions from Fremont’s current Building and Fire Codes and introduce the new California Wildland -Urban Interface Code which are designed to enhance public safety and property protection. The resolution contains the findings required for the local amendments.

The ordinances were introduced by the City Council at its September 9, 2025 meeting and are now before the Council for adoption.

Background: California Health and Safety Code Section 17958 mandates that the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) adopt and publish new editions of the California Building Standards Code (Title 24) every three years. The 2025 Edition of the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, was published by CBSC on July 1, 2025, and will take effect on January 1, 2026. Title 24 incorporates model construction and other codes, including the California Building Code, Mechanical Code, Plumbing Code, Electrical Code, Existing Buildings Code, Housing Code, Energy Code, Residential Code, California Fire Code, and California Wildland-Urban Interface Code.

Discussion/Analysis:

Local governments are required to adopt the 2025 state model codes with any local amendments proposed for applicability to their jurisdictions. The proposed ordinances specifically adopt the 2025 California Fire Code and 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code with local amendments. On September 9, 2025, the City Council adopted the resolution that contains the findings to support the local amendments as reasonably necessary due to local climatic and geographic conditions. The City’s new Fire Code and Wildland-Urban Interface codes will become effective January 1, 2026.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5532) Meeting of September 16, 2025 Updated: 9/11/2025 10:53 AM by Dina Lewis Page 2

1. 2025 California Fire Code (CFC): The proposed ordinance adopts the CFC with local amendments that are largely administrative and carry forward existing provisions, while also introducing key changes to enhance life safety and property conservation.

These include:

▪ Fire Alarm System Requirements: Clarified installation and monitoring requirements. Systems must be State Fire Marshal listed and approved, with the building owner providing certification. Remote annunciators are required at main entrances for new or updated systems. Specific detection and manual alarm boxes are mandated for facilities handling lithium-ion or lithium metal batteries. ▪ Hazardous Materials Management: More stringent spill control and secondary containment mechanisms are required for a broader range of hazardous materials and at lower quantity thresholds. This also includes additional construction and monitoring requirements for toxic and highly toxic materials (health hazard classifications 3 and 4), and some flammable and oxidizing materials.
▪ Fire Apparatus Access Roads & Key Boxes: Requirements for fire lane marking and maintenance are detailed. Automatic and manual security gates must be equipped with approved Knox key override switches or padlocks for emergency access. The Knox Rapid Entry System is required in various occupancies for immediate access, and a Knox Document Cabinet is mandated for facilities storing hazardous materials, containing essential pre-fire plans and keys. ▪ Fire Protection Water Supplies: Specific spacing requirements for fire hydrants in residential (every 500 ft) and commercial/industrial/multi-family areas (every 300 ft) are established, with discretion for the Fire Chief to require closer intervals. Hydrants must be clearly identified with reflective markers and paint. ▪ Automatic Sprinkler Systems (AFES): General requirement for AFES in all new buildings (excluding certain Group U occupancies), with detailed modifications for various occupancy groups and building conditions. This includes specific requirements for R-3 occupancies (single-family homes), additions, and repairs/retrofits based on the value of repair. The intent is to confine fires, reduce toxic gases, and facilitate evacuation.
▪ Prohibition of Fireworks: The code maintains the existing prohibition on the possession, manufacture, storage, sale, handling, and use of fireworks within the City.

2. 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (CWUIC). The proposed ordinance adopts the 2025 CWUIC with specific local amendments to address the heightened wildfire risk in the city.

▪ Purpose: The code establishes minimum regulations for life and property protection against wildland fire intrusion and the spread of structure fires to wildland fuels. It supplements Fremont’s building and fire codes. ▪ Special Building Construction Regulations: New or remodeled structures in WUI Fire Areas are required to comply with enhanced building standards.

This includes:

Packet Pg. 89
Council Staff Report (ID # 5532) Meeting of September 16, 2025 Updated: 9/11/2025 10:53 AM by Dina Lewis Page 3
o Roof Coverings: Any new structure or re-roofing in a WUI Fire Area must have a Class A fire-retardant roof covering.
o Exterior Wall Coverings: Exterior walls must be of 1-hour fire-resistive assemblies with a Class I flame spread requirement.
o Utilities: Utilities in exposed under-floor areas must be enclosed with 1-hour fire-resistive material.
o Historical Buildings: Flexibility for historical buildings is provided if a fire protection plan (prepared by a registered Fire Protection Engineer and approved by building official and fire chief) is implemented to ensure an equivalent level of fire safety.

▪ Fire Protection Plans (FPP): These plans are required based on project-specific wildfire hazard assessments, addressing fire department access, water supply, fuel reduction (defensible space), and applicable building codes for wildfire safety. The applicant is responsible for the cost of FPP preparation and review.

Local Conditions Justification: The proposed amendments to the California Fire Code and the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code are reasonably necessary due to Fremont’s local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions, as detailed in Attachment 1 to the proposed resolution. The modifications are designed to mitigate fire impacts, enhance firefighting capacity and efficiency, improve survivability, and reduce human and property losses from fires, wildfires, and hazardous materials incidents. Some of the key local conditions which support the amendments are summarized below:

▪ Climatic Conditions:
o Wildfire Risk: Fremont contains very high fire hazard severity zones.

Increased frequency and intensity of droughts, combined with hotter, drier landscapes, and severe winds, contribute to rapid and irregular fire spread.

This leads to increased demand for emergency services and necessitates robust wildfire prevention measures.
o Extreme Heat: Rising annual average temperatures and more frequent heat waves can worsen air quality and pose public health threats.

▪ Geological and Topographical Conditions:
o Seismic Hazard: Fremont is traversed by the Hayward Fault, with a significant probability (over 28% in the next 30 years) of a major earthquake (up to magnitude 7.1) along its segments. Such an event poses a high risk of structural damage, collapsed power lines, ruptured gas lines, and breaks in water systems, potentially leading to widespread fires and hazardous material releases.
o Soil Conditions: The presence of expansive Bay mud and soft soils can lead to liquefaction during earthquakes, increasing structural damage. o Terrain and Access: The City's hills, creeks, freeways, and dense development create a complex road network with heavy traffic congestion, indirect routes, and steep grades, all of which can significantly delay emergency response times, especially during peak hours or after a major disaster. o Vegetation: Dry grass, brush, and dense woodland areas contribute to high fuel loads, exacerbating fire danger, particularly during dry, hot, windy months.

Packet Pg. 90
Council Staff Report (ID # 5532) Meeting of September 16, 2025 Updated: 9/11/2025 10:53 AM by Dina Lewis Page 4
o Population Density and Development: A rapidly growing population increases the frequency of emergency incidents and traffic congestion, further straining public safety resources. Close proximity of buildings with combustible materials also increases fire spread risk.

▪ Climate Change Impacts: The combination of these factors is worsened by climate change, which increases the likelihood and severity of wildfires, landslides, droughts (reducing water for firefighting), and extreme heat events.

FISCAL IMPACT: Adoption of the proposed codes would not have a fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund, as most of the costs associated with the application and administration of the building standards in the City are funded by user fees paid by developers.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed actions are exempt from CEQA review, each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance, pursuant to: CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b) in that proposed action constitutes organizational and administrative activities of government and is not a “project” which will result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment; Section 15061(b)(3) because there is no possibility the activity will have a significant effect on the environment; Section 15268 in that approval of local legislation constitutes a ministerial action required by California law; and Section 15308 as the proposed action involves regulatory procedures for protection of the environment.
