Good evening Commissioners,
My name is Lesley Urista, owner of Puesto Market at 226 Jackson Street. I’m here regarding
Hayward Municipal Code Section 10-1.2759, which prevents new off-sale alcohol businesses within 500 feet of another.

Because my store is about 140 feet from a liquor store, I cannot move forward with my Type 20 Beer and Wine license application. The same denial happened in 2012 under a previous owner.

Since then, Hayward has grown by nearly 15,000 residents, and community needs have changed.

Puesto Market is not a liquor store. We are a family-owned grocery store, and my goal is to responsibly serve our customers and even partner with local wineries to highlight regional products.

I respectfully ask the Commission to consider updating this code so it better reflects today’s Hayward balancing safeguards while also supporting small businesses like mine. Thank you Sincerely,
--

Thank you, Elizabeth!
As always, I really appreciate your detailed and thoughtful responses. It has truly been a pleasure collaborating with you over the years.

Over the past few months, Prologis has been actively engaging with various stakeholders in Hayward. As part of that effort, we are reintroducing PLD to the City with the goal of being an active, long-term community member and owner. Most recently we attended District 2’s Annual Holiday Food & Toy Drive in December with a truck load of toys for the First Presbyterian Church, Glad Tiding Church, La Familia and Eden Youth.

Given the magnitude of our portfolio in Hayward and our ongoing focus on innovation, it’s important for us to stay apprised of proposed changes affecting the industrial zoning districts.So Yes, we would very much welcome the opportunity to participate in a focus group or community meeting tailored to industrial business owners and developers, particularly to review the specific changes being proposed to the Industrial District use table. That forum would be extremely helpful, and we appreciate you offering this opportunity.

P.S. Hi Lucy and Paul!
Thank you,
Janet

Hi Janet,
Happy New Year!
Yes, the Planning Commission work session is still scheduled for January 22, and we now also have a work session with the Council scheduled for the following week on January 27. The agenda packet for the Planning Commission work session should be published next week on the 15 th, and I’ll be sure to forward it to you when it goes out. The Council agenda packet should be published by January 23. While not on the calendar yet, we’re shooting to have final adoption hearings for the project in March or April.

Yes – your understanding is correct. What is being proposed is that moving forward, data centers would only be allowed in the General Industrial (IG) zoning district with approval of a CUP. They no longer would be allowed in other industrial or commercial districts, though existing and previously approved data centers would be “grandfathered” in.

To date, outreach to the business community has included an online survey, a meeting with the Downtown Hayward Improvement Association, an article in the STACK Extra citywide e- newsletter, as well as informal conversations about the project with businesses who contact the Planning Division about potential projects. For example, a few months ago, a data center project contact the City that was considering locations in the IP zoning district reached out to the City.

Once their inquiry was forwarded to Planning, I immediately let them know of the proposed zoning changes that were being considered and the approximate timing of when the new changes would go into effect. (Perhaps you are involved with this project and that’s how you became aware of the proposed changes?)
That said, I’m happy to set up a focus group or community meeting that is more tailored to our Industrial business owners and developers so we can review the specific changes proposed to the Industrial District use table. Let me know if you think this would be helpful. I’m copying Lucy Lopez from the Hayward Chamber and Paul Nguyen from Economic Development who can assist in getting the word out about such a focus group should we move forward with one.

Again, thanks for engaging on this.

Hi Elizabeth,
Happy New Year! I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to follow up on the note below and check whether the Planning Commission workshop is still tentatively scheduled for January 22? We’ve heard there may be some proposed updates to the industrial regulations. Our understanding is that, once adopted, data centers may only be permitted with approval of a CUP in the General Industrial (IG) zoning district, which would mean they would no longer be allowed in the IP zone?
Based on the information published to date, there appears to be limited detail available on this topic. At the August PC workshop, staff noted that outreach to industrial stakeholders had not been conducted, as the changes were not expected to impact industrial uses. However, the potential removal of data centers from the IP zone feels like a meaningful change.

Will staff be publishing any additional information or analysis regarding this proposed change ahead of the PC workshop to allow stakeholders an opportunity to review and provide comment? Thank you very much for your time and help, I really appreciate it! Janet

Re: Agenda Item No. 2: Work Session: Proposed Municipal Code and Zoning Map Revisions Related to the Business-Friendly Hayward Project Honorable Planning Commissioners:

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the City of Hayward’s (“City’s”) proposed amendments to the Zoning Code and Zoning Map as part of the Business-Friendly Hayward Project (“Proposed Amendments”). Founded and still deeply rooted in the Bay Area, Prologis is a global and local leader in logistics, data center, energy, and mobility real estate, and a long- standing owner and operator of industrial real estate in Hayward. For over 40 years, Prologis has partnered with the City to deliver three million square feet of logistics and industrial facilities in 37 buildings. In 2024, Prologis’s holdings in the City yielded $8.8 million in property taxes, $440 million in property investment (with a direct impact of $528 million and an indirect impact of $306 million), and 4,550 direct, indirect, and induced jobs. Prologis also has a strong track record in its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and economic vitality. In 2025, Prologis reached over one gigawatt (“GW”) of installed solar and energy storage and set an ambitious goal to achieve net zero across its value chain by 2040, with 195 million square feet of sustainably certified space already in place.

Prologis has been following Hayward’s current fiscal challenges and supports the City’s strategic initiative to attract new investment and strengthen the local economy. We appreciate the City’s efforts to modernize and streamline its zoning framework in a manner that supports economic vitality, environmental stewardship, and compatibility with surrounding uses. We are concerned, however, that the Proposed Amendments related to industrially zoned properties and data centers (“Proposed Industrial Amendments”) will impede—not facilitate—new businesses and economic investment in the City. In that spirit, we respectfully offer the following observations regarding the proposed changes affecting data center uses in industrial zoning districts, which are more thoroughly discussed in the attached detailed comments. • The proposed prohibition of data centers in the IP (Industrial Park) district, and limitation of such use exclusively to the IG (Industrial General) district, could unintentionally conflict with the Business-Friendly Hayward Project’s stated objectives by constraining investment in the City’s existing underutilized industrial areas and reducing flexibility for emerging forms of industrial and technology-related infrastructure.

Pier 1, Bay 1, S an Francisco, C alifornia 94 111 Un ited Stat es Mai n +1 41 5. 394 .90 0 0 w w w.prologis.com 2 • Data centers increasingly are treated by Bay Area jurisdictions as a form of modern industrial infrastructure that should coexist with other industrial and R&D uses, subject to appropriate standards. Many IP-zoned areas in Hayward already are characterized by industrial activity, substantial separation from sensitive receptors, and proximity to existing electrical infrastructure, making IP districts suitable locations for data centers. • Existing electrical infrastructure necessary to support data center development is located predominantly within the City’s IP-zoned areas, whereas IG-zoned areas largely lack necessary electrical infrastructure. As a result, the Proposed Industrial Amendments could result in a de facto prohibition of data centers in the City. • Concerns related to operational characteristics, compatibility with nearby uses, and public engagement could be addressed through targeted performance standards, discretionary site plan review, and required environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), rather than through a categorical prohibition within existing industrial areas. Many Bay Area cities have taken this approach. • In addition to local land use approvals, data center facilities are subject to multiple layers of state and regional regulatory oversight and permitting processes that impose strict limits on emissions, noise, and environmental impacts.
• From a fiscal and infrastructure perspective, data centers provide net benefits to local jurisdictions, including property tax revenue, utility users tax revenue, and privately funded upgrades to power and grid infrastructure that provide improved grid reliability at no cost to residents.

For these reasons, we respectfully encourage the Planning Commission to consider revisions to the Proposed Amendments that would: (a) continue to allow data centers in both IP and IG districts, (b) provide clear and objective performance standards to address compatibility, environmental, and design considerations, and (c) require discretionary Major Site Plan Review or conditional approval only when performance standards cannot be met.

Finally, we appreciate the City’s intent to continue stakeholder engagement and welcome the opportunity for additional outreach and dialogue, particularly given that the data center provisions were not included in earlier drafts of the Business-Friendly Hayward amendments.

Additional engagement will help ensure that any final zoning changes are well-calibrated to Hayward’s economic development goals while also addressing community concerns.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to continuing collaboration with City staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council as this process moves forward.

Respectfully,
Prologis

A. The Proposed Industrial Amendments Will Impede the Objectives of the Business- Friendly Hayward Project
The City’s website describes the Business-Friendly Hayward Project as “a strategic initiative designed to make it easier for businesses to locate and thrive in the City’s commercial and mixed-use areas, while also working to revitalize vacant and underused properties” with an aim of creating “a supportive environment for local businesses, attract[ing] new investment, and strengthen[ing] the local economy.”1 While many of the Proposed Amendments are thoughtfully designed to advance these objectives, the Proposed Industrial Amendments may not fully support the City’s strategic goals and instead appear to go beyond what is necessary to address legitimate concerns regarding data centers. As detailed below, there are more targeted, less burdensome approaches that could address these concerns effectively while continuing to encourage economic development and investment, along with fiscal stability, in Hayward.

As explained in the Planning Commission Staff Report for the January 22, 2026, meeting (“Staff Report”), under the City’s current Zoning Code, the City has treated data centers as an “office” use that is principally permitted in many commercial and industrial zoning districts, subject to Site Plan Review2 (structures greater than 5,000 sf), Major Site Plan Review3 (projects of 10 acres or more), and compliance with the City’s Industrial Design Guidelines. The Staff Report identifies three primary concerns with data center development: “operational characteristics,” “potential for impacts to sensitive receptors,” and a desire for public hearings to be required for any data center project. (Staff Report, pp. 7-8.) The staff recommendation is to (1) create a new definition of “data center”; (2) prohibit data centers in all zones except the IG zoning district; and (3) require a conditional use permit (“CUP”) with the associated public hearing process for all data centers.

Notably, the proposal to limit data centers to the IG district fails to account for the location of electrical infrastructure necessary to support data center development. Most existing PG&E infrastructure is located south of Highway 92, in the IP district. PG&E staff has informed Prologis that PG&E currently does not have sufficient electrical infrastructure in the IG zoned area to support data centers in the near term. By restricting data centers to the IG district, the City will undermine its own economic development objectives.

Prologis supports the City’s effort to clarify how data centers will be treated in the Zoning Code; however, we do not support prohibition of data centers in the IP zoning district.

Instead, many of the City’s concerns regarding the appropriate location and development standards for data centers can be addressed through performance standards and the environmental review process, as discussed below.

Economic and Community Benefits of Data Center Development The rapid growth of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and other data-driven industries has made data centers essential to modern economic vitality, particularly in the Bay Area, where global technology innovation is developed and scaled. As a centrally located Bay Area city, Hayward plays an important role in this innovative ecosystem. Prohibiting data centers in the IP zone would limit Hayward’s opportunity to participate in securing locally based digital infrastructure needed to support emerging technologies and remain competitive.

Data centers also create a wide range of jobs, from construction and skilled trades to long-term operations and specialized information technology roles. Across California, the industry has attracted significant investment and driven economic growth by supporting related sectors such as construction, telecommunications, power infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing.

Direct Fiscal Benefits
• City Tax Revenues: Construction and operation of a single medium-scale data center in Hayward could produce between $3 – 5.5 million in annual tax revenue for the City.

These revenues would support not only the City, but also the Hayward Unified School District and the Hayward Recreation and Park District. Because data centers house so much equipment that is refreshed frequently, they also generate a significant amount of tax revenue from the sales and use tax on the purchase of new data center equipment that is refreshed on a five-year schedule.
• Utility Users Tax (“UUT”): The City’s UTT imposes a 5.5 percent tax on utilities such as electricity and gas.4 The UUT represents the City’s third-largest revenue source and a major component of the City’s public safety funding. The City’s 2025-26 budget projects that revenues from the UUT will account for $27 million, representing 12.5 percent of the City’s total annual revenue. A single 99-MW data center would pay a UTT of approximately $5.7 million a year, reflecting over a 20 percent increase in the City’s existing annual total UTT revenue from a single project. • Impact Fees: New development of a data center would be subject to the City’s impact fees (e.g. traffic and park impact fees).5
Indirect Economic Benefits
• Grid Infrastructure Improvements: Many of the concerns often expressed about the impact of data centers on power availability and pricing are inapplicable to most Bay Area data centers. PG&E increasingly is shifting responsibility to fund electrical infrastructure to data center developers and operators with upfront payments and updated tariffs to ensure that PG&E residential and business customers do not become responsible for the cost to expand the electrical infrastructure. To accommodate anticipated data center and other demand growth in the Bay Area, including Hayward, it is anticipated that PG&E would expand and modernize its transmission infrastructure, further supporting regional power reliability and affordability. Anticipated data center projects would help 4 https://www.hayward-ca.gov/your-government/programs/utility-users-tax-uut 5 https://www.hayward-ca.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/Adopted-FY-2026-Master-Fee-Schedule-10-14.pdf 545
Pier 1, Bay 1, S an Francisco, C alifornia 94 111 Un ited Stat es Mai n +1 41 5. 394 .90 0 0 w w w.prologis.com 5 fund electrical grid resiliency and expandable electrical infrastructure to better accommodate electrical load growth in the City and the broader Bay Area. In fact, PG&E estimates average household rates could be reduced as data center load comes online.6 • Construction & Operational Jobs: In the year of peak construction, the total number of supported jobs for a medium-scale data center could surpass 400. Once construction is completed, total jobs supported by a medium-scale data center would remain stable at approximately 105. The average annual pay and benefits for these jobs is about $193,000 per year, which is almost twice the average annual pay and benefits for private jobs in Alameda County ($96,590).
• Support for Existing Industrial Facilities: Data center development supports significant investment in infrastructure upgrades, which brings additional power capacity to existing industrial markets. This development could spur additional manufacturing, R&D, and logistics activity in the City.
• Supporting Local Universities: Higher education institutions will need to integrate advanced technologies to meet the changing needs of their students and faculty and to support research across a variety of scientific, medical, and technological disciplines.

This technological need, in turn, will require universities and colleges to secure availability of data center infrastructure.

The Proposed Industrial Amendments, if adopted, will put Hayward at an economic disadvantage by directing data center development—as well as R&D and advanced manufacturing facilities (which increasingly rely upon geographically proximate data centers)—to other jurisdictions in the Bay Area, along with the associated tax revenues, jobs, and other community benefits.

Nearby cities (San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Fremont, Pittsburg) are accommodating data center development through the use of performance standards. Hayward risks diverging from the Bay Area industrial market if it adopts the restrictive approach outlined in the Proposed Industrial Amendments.

C. Existing Regulatory Standards Addressing Environmental Impacts of Data Center Development
Many concerns often expressed regarding impacts of data centers are overstated when applied to small and mid-sized data center development in the context of California’s existing regulatory and infrastructure environment. In addition to requiring local land use permits, most data centers with over 50 MW of emergency backup power generation require California Energy Commission (“CEC”) approval of the generators. The CEC has exclusive jurisdiction over “thermal power plants” (including diesel and natural gas generators) over 50 MW. Projects between 50 and 100 MW are authorized through the CEC’s Small Power Plant Exemption (“SPPE”) process. The CEC can grant an SPPE only if it finds that the proposed facility will not create a substantial adverse impact on the environment or energy resources, as demonstrated by a CEQA document prepared by the CEC. If the SPPE is approved, the project developer still must secure any other local, state, and federal permits required to construct and operate the project.

Pier 1, Bay 1, S an Francisco, C alifornia 94 111 Un ited Stat es Mai n +1 41 5. 394 .90 0 0 w w w.prologis.com 6 The CEC routinely incorporates mitigation measures into its CEQA document ensuring that all impacts are less than significant. Using these measures, for the 15 data centers it has evaluated since 2019, the CEC has been able to make the finding that the data center project will not result in significant environmental impacts (including those to sensitive receptors). • Sensitive Receptors:
o Zoning & Design Standards: As discussed above, placement of data centers within existing industrial areas significantly addresses concerns regarding proximity of such uses to residential and other sensitive receptors. Many concerns pertaining to proximity of sensitive receptors can be addressed through engineering and design standards pertaining to building mass, orientation, mechanical screening, and location of loading and service areas.
o Air Quality/GHG: Data centers require emergency back-up generators to ensure consistent power supply during a power outage, disruption, or instability in the electric grid. Many types of facilities require back-up generators, including hospitals, schools and universities, water treatment plants, R&D facilities, distribution centers, and grocery stores (e.g., food refrigeration). The Bay Area Air District’s (“Air District’s”) Authority to Construct and the California Air Resources Board’s (“CARB’s”) Airborne Toxic Control Measures (“ATCM”) limit each engine to no more than 50 hours annually for reliability purposes (i.e., testing and maintenance). In California, data centers use Tier IV generators (e.g., best available control technology that reduces emissions), and either use 100 percent renewable electricity or participate in a program that reduces greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions to net zero. This requirement results in development of new renewable energy projects that will serve all users in California. o Noise: The City’s General Plan provides exterior noise limits based on land use categories. Industrial manufacturing and utilities, for example, are limited to a maximum level of exterior noise of 75 CNEL.7 Hayward Municipal Code Chapter 4, Sections 4-1.03.1, and 4-1.03.4, sets forth noise regulations applicable to commercial and industrial properties and limits operational noise levels at any point outside of the commercial and industrial property plane to 70 dBA Leq (HMC, § Section 4-1.03.1(b)). Through the use of standard engineering and design methods (described above), data centers can meet the above noise standards.
• Water Use: Criticisms of data center water usage for cooling equipment often are based on outdated or inaccurate information. Solutions such as air cooling closed-loop water systems do not require daily water consumption.
o A potential design approach for data centers is the use of an air-cooling system that does not require a continuous draw of water. Instead, it operates on a closed- loop system that is filled once during setup. Virtually no water is evaporated or discharged, thus there is no need to continuously feed the cooling system with 7 CNEL refers to Community Noise Equivalent Level measurements, a weighted average of sound levels gathered throughout a 24-hour period.

o Hybrid cooling would be the exception rather than the rule and would only be pursued at the customer’s request. In such cases, the system can use recycled water where available. Preliminary analysis indicates that a hybrid design would require water consumption equivalent to the annual usage of fewer than 200 households, or approximately one large apartment building. o For a 99MW data center with a closed-loop cooling system, projected annual water use is 1-2 AFY . For comparison, a dwelling consumes approximately 0.3 to

0.5 AF of water per year. Therefore 500 dwelling units (the trigger for preparation of a Water Supply Assessment) would consume approximately 150 to 250 AFY of potable water.8
o For context, during the 2021/2022 fiscal year, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission supplied the City with approximately 15,736 AF of potable water.9 • Trips: Data centers produce very few vehicle and truck trips compared to other industrial uses, reducing noise, roadway utilization, and air quality impacts to residents along roadways used to access industrial properties.

D. Proposed Zoning Code Solutions to Address Data Center Development The Proposed Industrial Amendments, if adopted, would prohibit development of data centers within the IP district despite the appropriateness of this district for data center uses based on the presence of existing industrial uses and electrical infrastructure, adjacent Light Industrial buffer areas, and geographic isolation from zones with higher concentrations of sensitive receptors. We recognize the City’s interest in ensuring appropriate public oversight and compatibility for data center development. Allowing data centers in IP zoning districts subject to clear, objective performance standards and discretionary site plan review, would provide the City with greater predictability, enforceability, and public transparency than a categorical zoning prohibition, while still advancing the Business-Friendly Hayward Project’s economic objectives.

1. Data Centers Should Remain Permitted in the IP, Industrial Park District.

The Proposed Industrial Amendments would prohibit data centers in all zones except IG zones, thereby eliminating the use on IP zoned properties. As explained below, data centers should be permitted in both IG and IP zoning districts.

IP zoned properties are located in three primary areas of the City: (1) along the north- westernmost portion of the City bordering the Bay, (2) either side of CA-92’s approach to the Hayward-San Mateo Bridge, and (3) a triangular area within the southernmost portion of the City 8 Department of Water Resources (DWR).

We have not identified any IP-zoned parcel in the City that is directly adjacent to residential-zoned property. IP zones either share the same geographic characteristics as IG zones, or in some respects are farther away from residential, commercial, and mixed-use zones. Even in the southeast portion of the City, where existing residential development borders the eastern side of the railroad tracks, associated right-of-way, and BART maintenance facility, and existing industrial development borders the west side of the tracks, there is a buffer of approximately 600 to over 1000 feet of separation between the two zones.

The City’s IP zone “is intended to provide areas for high technology, research and development, and industrial activities” and allows a “variety of industrial, manufacturing, and high technology uses.” Given data centers often support or are collocated with each of these uses, prohibiting data centers within the IP zoning districts will have negative impact on all industrial uses and may disincentive investment in the City’s existing IP-zoned areas overall.

Other jurisdictions are not taking the same approach, particularly given the increasing need for data centers to be developed alongside industrial uses due to the increasing demand for AI and investment. At a minimum, we urge the Planning Commission to modify the proposed use table to identify data centers as either principally permitted, subject to Major Site Plan Review, or conditionally permitted in both IP and IG districts.

2. Performance Standards Would Effectively Address Data Center Concerns.

The Proposed Industrial Amendments propose requiring a CUP for all data centers, regardless of size or location, as a means of ensuring any data center project would be subject to a public hearing process. As a practical matter, many data center facilities will already trigger a public hearing under the existing Zoning Code based on acreage, because projects over 10 acres require Major Site Plan Review by the Planning Commission (subject to appeal to the City Council),10 and industrial parcels tend to be larger than parcels in other zoning districts.

As a discretionary approval, Major Site Plan Review would be subject to CEQA review, which would require identification and mitigation of any impacts associated with adverse environmental impacts.

Other Bay Area cities are instead utilizing performance standards for evaluating data center development. Adoption of specific performance standards would directly address the City’s concerns, with a CUP only being triggered for requests to waive or exceed such performance standards.

Dear Planning Commission & staff,
I am not truly sure what we are trying to accomplish with the ACU. This seems to be a radical approach to patchwork the city again. Where are the aesthetic standards? The city is currently dilapidated & we are still not addressing the foundation. We need to implement comprehensive design standards. How will ACUs impact neighbors in residential areas? We as a coalition don’t want sudden increase in traffic in residential areas destroying our quiet peace & enjoyment. More traffic means more noise, more wear & tear on roads etc.

The only way to activate vacant commercial properties is to implement a vacancy tax. 554
With regards to data centers, I have previously written to the city council about the AI bubble. If the city is considering of approving more data centers, then they need to ask for the maximum community benefits such as facade improvement to finally address the blight. Residents should not be subsidizing data centers via strained water resources & electrical grid. Every time they unveil another mega-project, it’s the same story:
billionaires building empires, politicians chasing control, while we're told to pay for it & clap.

Why can France build at least aesthetically pleasing data centers? Yet we’re allowing ugly monstrosities.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
On behalf of Prologis, thank you for your continued leadership as the City considers updates to its zoning code and broader economic development strategy. For over 40 years, Prologis has invested in Hayward by supporting jobs, generating significant tax revenue, and advancing sustainable industrial development. We support the Business-Friendly Hayward initiative, particularly its focus on strengthening the City's fiscal health, attracting new investment while advancing sustainability and environmental stewardship in order to position Hayward for long-term resilience.

We write to share the letter Prologis submitted to the Planning Commission last week regarding proposed zoning changes affecting industrial and data center uses. We are concerned that the proposed prohibition of data centers in the Industrial Park zoning district will unintentionally work against the goals set forth in the Business-Friendly Hayward initiative. Given Council’s central role in shaping the City’s climate, economic, and land use policies, we wanted to ensure you had visibility into our perspective as this discussion continues.

At the outset, we want to emphasize that modern data centers can be planned and regulated in a manner consistent with Hayward’s sustainability and climate action goals.

Correspondence Chain 7
560
When subject to clear, objective performance standards, data centers can function as climate-supportive infrastructure that enables electrification, supports renewable energy integration, strengthens grid reliability, and reduces vehicle trips. In addition, locating data centers within established industrial areas, combined with enforceable performance standards, buffering, and CEQA review, provides a more precise and equitable approach than broad zoning exclusions, while ensuring that environmental and community impacts are appropriately addressed.

In addition to these sustainability benefits, data center uses represent a significant fiscal and economic opportunity for Hayward. For these reasons, we respectfully encourage the City Council to consider a balanced approach that continues to allow data centers in both IP and IG zoning districts, subject to clear, objective performance standards. Such an approach would advance Hayward’s economic development objectives while remaining aligned with the City’s sustainability priorities.

We welcome continued dialogue with City staff, Councilmembers, and stakeholders to ensure that any final zoning framework reflects Hayward’s leadership in climate responsibility while providing clarity to attract businesses and support economic stability.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi Alisha,
Please direct the Planning Commission to not pass ACU into residential zoning and housing areas.

We have hundreds of empty buildings where these vendors can start their businesses off the street, inside, with cleaning supplies and laws, electric, gas, table and chairs off sidewalks, and streets.

My street is horribly impacted by ADUs lack of parking for the 10+new cars.

We are a single family home street,
surrounded by apts, 2/3/4/5 plexus. Our homes are mostly 1 car short driveways,garages that the lack for parking is severely blocking Paratransit drop off of disabled residents. Paratransit must park in the middle of the street and we must walk down slope into the gutter to get home.

The apts, condos you are approving do NOT have shopping centers, many closed and moved out, to support these new residents, So they go to Union City, Fremont to shop.

Please stop ACU in Hayward until all our empty buildings are full!!!!!!!!!!!! Peggy Guernsey

CAUTION:This is an external email. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know the content is safe.

Good evening City Planning Division, Commissioners, City Council Members, and Mayor, My name is Lesley Urista, and I am the owner of Puesto Market, located at 226 Jackson St., Hayward, CA 94544. I am writing to respectfully follow up on our previous conversations regarding potential changes to Municipal Code Section 10-1.110.

As discussed, my application for a Conditional Use Permit (UP-25-0020) to sell beer and wine was denied due to the presence of a liquor store located across the street. I understand the reasoning behind this decision; however, I strongly believe that liquor stores should not be categorized under the same municipal code as full-service grocery stores.

These are fundamentally different business models, serving different community needs.

Had these uses been distinguished separately, I believe my application could have been considered more favorably.

I have spoken directly with the liquor store owner, and we are in full agreement that our businesses are not the same. They are also supportive of my continued efforts to advocate for this distinction.

Additionally, with the recent closure of Walgreens and the upcoming closure of Safeway in our area, the community is losing essential grocery access. Given these changes, I would like to ask whether my application could be reconsidered. I would also like to note that the business located next door at 230 Jackson St., Hayward, CA 94544 has been leased to a Latin pharmacy with no rights to sell alcohol, and any previously associated liquor license will not be utilized at that location.

At this time, I am seeking guidance on what steps I can take next. I understand the basis for the original denial, but I believe it is appropriate to reevaluate this policy especially during a time when many local businesses are struggling to remain open and the population has grown significantly since the last amendment to this municipal code.

As a small business owner, I am doing everything I can to keep my doors open. In this type of business, any additional revenue makes a meaningful difference. I sincerely appreciate your time, consideration, and any guidance you can provide as I continue to pursue this matter.

** Please note I was the past president of the Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association, not the current president of the North Main Prospect Neighborhood Association.** My bad, and sorry for the confusion, I should have done my due diligence. I am triggered by this rezoning plan because past rezoning of west Hayward years ago ushered in the crazy powerplant. I will be meeting with the NMPHA to talk shop about moving forward, as nobody knows that we are getting commercial office zoning that will crush the residential feel of our community.

Hi George, I live at 22244 Main Street, and have lived in this neighborhood for 35 years. As the president of the Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association, we are all unhappy with the city's new plans to rezone our neighborhood. I see that zoning changes will bring significant changes to our neighborhood. What I saw is that you are changing our residential neighborhood from "office/residential" to "commercial office/residential" and this is what google says could be the fall out from doing that:

Rezoning a neighborhood from "office/residential" to "commercial office/residential" significantly increases development potential, likely leading to
higher traffic volume, increased noise, light pollution, and more intense, higher-density construction. While this change may increase property values, it can also decrease privacy and quiet enjoyment, as commercial uses like retail or service businesses are introduced alongside homes.

Significant changes to expect include:

Increased Traffic and Noise: The introduction of commercial businesses often brings higher volumes of traffic, including customers, delivery trucks, and, potentially, increased noise pollution.

Greater Density and Height: The new designation may permit taller or larger buildings, potentially altering the neighborhood's aesthetic and reducing privacy for existing homes.

Shift in Commercial Character: The area may see a mix of retail, services, 568
or office spaces, making it more of a mixed-use or "walkable" corridor, which can be positive for convenience but less peaceful for residents.

Higher Property Values (and Taxes): Commercial-zoned land is generally more valuable than purely residential land, which can lead to higher property assessments and increased property taxes for homeowners.

Infrastructure Changes: Increased density might necessitate improvements to utilities (water, sewer) to accommodate larger commercial, as opposed to residential, demands.

Overall, this rezoning moves a neighborhood from a blend of work-live to a more intense, mixed-use commercial environment, which can bring both economic benefits and disruptions to daily life.
*We are not happy about this and formally request a denial of zoning changes.

Please contact me asap so we can talk about this project as we are looking into hiring a lawyer to take up this case if this action is pursued.

Attention: Elizabeth Blanton, Senior Planner: [email protected] Sachiko Riddle, Associate Planner: [email protected] Re: Supply Chain Federation Comments on “Business-Friendly Hayward” Zoning Update
Elizabeth Blanton and Sachiko Riddle,
On behalf of the Supply Chain Federation (SCF) and California Trucking Association (CTA), we appreciate the opportunity to provide comments on the City of Hayward’s proposed zoning updates under the “Business-Friendly Hayward” initiative. We support the City’s goal of modernizing zoning regulations and strengthening economic development.

However, several proposed changes to industrial use definitions and permitting requirements raise concerns regarding unintended impacts on investment certainty, leasing flexibility, and Hayward’s overall competitiveness.

The Supply Chain Federation is a national trade association representing companies involved in goods movement, logistics, distribution, industrial real estate, and related infrastructure across the United States. Our membership includes Third-Party Logistics (3PL) providers, warehouse operators, last-mile delivery companies, developers, ports, and transportation providers that collectively support local and regional economies through job creation, tax revenue, and efficient movement of goods. We engage regularly with state and local governments on land-use, infrastructure, and regulatory policies that directly affect supply chain operations and industrial competitiveness.

The California Trucking Association is the nation’s largest statewide trade association representing the trucking industry. Established in 1934, CTA supports the companies and professionals that keep California’s economy moving. Our carrier membership ranges from individual owner-operators to small family-owned for-hire fleets, to the world's largest international carriers. A vital and indispensable component of the state’s economic health, nearly 80 percent of California communities rely exclusively on trucks for essential goods, and the industry hauls 90 percent of all manufactured tonnage statewide.

Correspondence Chain 11
570
Truck Terminal Definition and Treatment of Last Mile and 3PL Uses The proposal to expand the definition of “Truck Terminal” to include Last Mile delivery and Third-Party Logistics (3PL) operations represents a significant policy shift. As proposed, these uses would no longer be permitted in the Industrial Park (IP) zoning district and would also require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the General Industrial (IG) district.

Last Mile and 3PL operations are integral components of modern supply chains and operate across a wide range of building types and scales. Treating these business models as a distinct land-use category—rather than addressing operational intensity through objective performance standards—risks over-regulating lower-intensity facilities and materially limiting future leasing flexibility for both logistics providers and property owners.

This approach could discourage investment and reduce the adaptability of industrial properties to evolving market needs.

We encourage the City to distinguish between land-use classification and operational intensity. Many potential impacts associated with logistics activity—such as truck frequency or hours of operation—can be more effectively addressed through clear, objective standards rather than reclassification into more restrictive use categories.

Data Centers
We are also concerned with the proposal to remove data centers as a permitted use in the IP zoning district and would also require a CUP in the IG district. IP-zoned sites are often uniquely suited for data center development due to existing power infrastructure and site characteristics. Eliminating the data center use could negatively affect IP-zoned land values and weaken Hayward’s ability to compete for technology-related investment.

Data centers represent significant long-term capital investment and contribute to local employment and the tax base. Eliminating data centers as an allowable use, or requiring discretionary approvals may lengthen project timelines, increase entitlement risk, and complicate financing, making Hayward less competitive relative to neighboring jurisdictions that continue to allow these uses by right in comparable zones.

Legal Non-Conforming Uses and Business Impacts
By eliminating the Last Mile and 3PL use in the IP zoned area, any existing business that plans to relocate or expand within the City of Hayward would be prevented from doing so.

This could lead to businesses leaving the City of Hayward, increased building vacancy, and the reduction in property values due to the limited pool of businesses that are allowed in operate in these areas of the City.

Investment Certainty and Conditional Use Permits
Across both proposals, the increased reliance on Conditional Use Permits introduces 571
additional time, cost, and political uncertainty into the development and leasing process.

For property owners, tenants, and lenders, entitlement risk is a material consideration that directly affects feasibility and investment decisions—particularly for speculative development or adaptive reuse of existing industrial buildings.

Regional Competitiveness and Policy Alignment
Hayward operates within a highly competitive regional industrial real estate market. Even modest increases in regulatory uncertainty can shift investment to nearby jurisdictions that offer clearer and more predictable zoning frameworks. Restrictive policies do not eliminate demand for logistics or technology uses; rather, they risk displacing that activity—and associated economic benefits—elsewhere.

We also encourage the City to evaluate whether the proposed changes are fully aligned with adopted General Plan goals related to industrial land preservation, job growth, and economic competitiveness.

Conclusion
While we appreciate the City’s effort to modernize its zoning framework, we respectfully urge reconsideration of the proposed treatment of Last Mile, 3PL, and data center uses.

Retaining by-right status for these uses in appropriate industrial districts—or addressing concerns through objective, performance-based standards—would better support the City’s stated business-friendly objectives while preserving predictability and flexibility for industrial stakeholders.

Dear Mayor Salinas and Members of the City Council:

On behalf of the NAIOP San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association representing over 750 developers, owners, investors, and service providers throughout the region, I am writing to share concerns regarding proposed amendments to the City’s industrial zoning regulations as part of the Business-Friendly Hayward initiative.

We appreciate and support the City’s stated goal of strengthening economic development and improving regulatory clarity. However, several of the proposed changes affecting industrial districts may unintentionally introduce new limitations that appear inconsistent with those objectives.

The draft revisions would broaden the definition of “Truck Terminal” to include Last Mile and Third-Party Logistics (3PL) operations and remove these uses as permitted-by-right in the IP zoning district, instead requiring a Conditional Use Permit in the IG district. Last Mile and 3PL facilities are now essential components of modern supply chains and are commonly accommodated in industrial zones throughout the Bay Area. Subjecting these uses to discretionary approval would reduce flexibility for existing and future industrial properties, introduce uncertainty into leasing decisions, and make it more difficult for owners and tenants to respond to evolving logistics demands.

The proposed treatment of data centers raises similar concerns. The draft update would remove data centers as a by-right use in the IP district and instead require a Conditional Use Permit in the IG district. Many IP-zoned properties are well suited for data center development due to their location, building configuration, and access to power infrastructure. Requiring discretionary approval where none is currently required may negatively affect land values, complicate site selection decisions, and reduce Hayward’s competitiveness relative to neighboring jurisdictions actively seeking to attract advanced industrial and technology uses.

We understand that these concepts were initially presented without direct outreach to industrial property owners or operators. We appreciate staff’s subsequent willingness to convene a virtual stakeholder session and view that as a constructive opportunity for meaningful engagement with the commercial real estate community.

Industrial land remains a cornerstone of Hayward’s economic base and a critical component of the region’s goods movement and employment ecosystem. As the City finalizes its zoning updates, we respectfully urge a balanced approach that preserves predictability within industrial districts while advancing broader economic development goals.

Thank you for your consideration and for your continued commitment to Hayward’s long-term economic vitality.

Hi Elizabeth,
First of all thanks for hosting the industrial round table today to solicit feedback on the industrial use definitions. The City of Hayward has always been really good at making their zoning rules clear to owners/developers especially compared to other 880 Cities. So I commend the City for that.

I was able to provide some verbal response but wanted to document and send in writing my thoughts around the Truck Terminal definition.
- Concern is some ‘industrial labels’ like 3pl and last mile delivery included in the Truck Terminal definition
- 3pl / last mile delivery is a business model not a land use o Many 3PL operators
§ Store goods long term
§ Use racking
§ Fulfill orders
§ Function as traditional warehouses
- As written - the inclusion of 3PL in the truck terminal definition may unintentionally capture traditional warehouse users whose primary activity is storage and distribution rather than freight movement (which is what I think the City is trying to carve out) -
Incidental storage needs clarification
o ‘storage of cargo is incidental to the primary function of…” § Maybe look to define incidental
· By time
· By floor area
· By revenue
· Bu operational intent
- Dock door threshold not enough on its own as drafted o Many legitimate warehouses have 10-40 doors but operate as storage and distribution facilities.
o Operational characteristics should control
- Redefine Truck Terminal by throughput metrics o I think the City is focused on traffic impacts so focus on defining this o Another focus point could be throughput volume
Thank you and happy to chat further or take part in any other focused conversations, Regards,
Richard

Good Morning Elizabeth and Sachiko,
Thank you again for hosting the Industrial outreach call. It was great to see such strong engagement - with roughly 70 participants, it’s clear there is a lot of interest in the City of Hayward and these proposed changes.

With the large group and all of us providing feedback, we didn’t get a clear picture of what the City is hoping to achieve with the proposed changes to the truck terminal definition. We want to make sure we have a clear grasp of your priorities and the specific impacts you’re trying to address so that we can be constructive partners in identifying workable solutions.

We’d like to schedule a smaller working session with your team to better understand your objectives and the policy direction you’re considering.

The Prologis team brings a unique perspective to this discussion, as we are both a developer and a long-term owner, and we develop across multiple product types — including traditional industrial and data centers. That vantage point allows us to think holistically about operational impacts, tenant demand, long-term land use strategy, and how definitions may influence real-world project feasibility over time. We believe that perspective could be helpful as you refine the proposal.

We are happy to share examples from around the Bay Area that may help address the concerns you’re targeting while also keeping the zoning framework attractive to investment.

In general, we encourage maintaining maximum use flexibility across the industrial zones. A flexible framework helps ensure that industrial areas can adapt to evolving business needs and changing market conditions over time. When allowable uses are narrowly defined, it can increase vacancy risk and slow reinvestment in existing properties. Over the long term, flexibility supports continued modernization of industrial buildings and infrastructure, helping the City sustain a strong employment base and economic resilience. Similarly, while Conditional Use Permits (CUPs) may be appropriate in certain cases, added uncertainty in process and timing can unintentionally discourage reinvestment.

Please let us know your availability over the next two weeks, and we will coordinate a time that works for everyone.

Hi all,
Over the past couple of weeks, Sachiko and I have been working with internal staff and several of you to refine our draft definitions for “Truck Terminal” and “Last Mile Delivery.” During this process, something has become clear – it’s going to take us more time to get this right.

As a result, we’ve made the decision to remove our revised definition for Truck Terminal from the Business Friendly Hayward Project [hayward-ca.gov]
that will be going forward to Planning
Commission and City Council for final approval next month. Instead, the existing definition, as well as our existing policies for processing these types of uses will remain in place, unchanged.

At the end of the day, the purpose of this project is to make our regulations clearer, and more business friendly. We’ve heard loud and clear from you all that our proposed revised definition is not achieving that objective, so it’s an easy decision to not move forward with the proposed language.

For those of you that would like to continue working with us on drafting new definitions, we will still hold our planned meeting next week on 3/10 at 10:30 a.m. We’ll use this time to continue taking input on what thresholds and terminology any new definitions should include if the City decides to move forward with revising these definitions in the future. If you have further input that you have not already shared with us, we encourage you to join us.

As always, don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, Elizabeth

Hi Nathan,
See attached for a chart showing the two options that staff is considering for the Residential Office (RO) zoning district:
584
Option 1: RO zoning remains, but office uses are allowed by right, instead of having to go through a use permit process. Also, outdoor recreational uses would now be prohibited.

Option 2: The RO district is combined with the Commercial Office (CO) district to create a new district: Commercial Office – Residential (CO-R). This new district would mean that additional uses would be allowed by right in your neighborhood, including offices, personal services (hair and nail salons, for example), plant nurseries, and low-barrier navigation centers for the homeless.

Option 2 is what the City initially proposed, as seen in the mailers that were sent out in January.

However, given feedback that we’ve received to date, staff created Option 1, which wouldn’t result in a rezoning at all, but rather would make it easier to open an office. At this point, staff is leaning toward Option 1, but we are curious to learn your Neighborhood Association’s preferences/thoughts on the two choices, and to hear if you recommend any further revisions to either option.

Once you have a location determined for the dinner/meeting next week, let us know where we should meet you. Looking forward to our discussion. Thanks again for your engagement on this project.

Excellent, we look forward to meeting you and Sachiko. Question: are there any materials we could share with the board and/or community in advance? If so this could help us hit the ground running and make the best use of our time. Thanks! On Thu, Feb 19, 2026 at 8:35 AM Elizabeth Blanton <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi Elizabeth,
Anyhow - we DO live on Main Street and we ARE very connected to our community. We were unable to make the zoning zoom last week but we'd love to have you and Sachiko join us at our monthly board meeting. People from the city join us on a very regular basis.

We typically choose a new restaurant each month and have a meal while discussing how we can make our neighborhood better. I'd describe the energy as laid back and thoughtful.

Our next meeting is in the downtown area this Wednesday at 7pm, restaurant TBD. We did Storybook last month. Are you available to join?
Kindly,
Nathan Downs

Hi Phil and Courtney,
Thanks for your patience on this. After discussing internally, we agree and have amended the draft Code to reflect a two tier system for Data Centers:

1. Data Centers 50+ MW: Major Conditional Use Permit (requiring Council approval)

2. Data Centers <50 MW: Conditional Use Permit (requiring Planning Commission approval) We didn’t think it was appropriate/necessary to create a class of ancillary data centers that are allowed by right for a few reasons:

As a land use, they would be allowed by right currently, and we’ve never seen this type of ancillary data center in Hayward to date.

If the generators are diesel powered, they very likely will still require a use permit for hazardous materials.

Under the new regulations, if a data center came in that was determined by staff to be ancillary to a primary use AND didn’t trigger the need for additional use permit review based on the amount of hazardous materials on site, we could process it under the permitting process required for the primary use.

I’m off for the rest of today, but if you’d like to chat further, let me know, and we can set up a time next week. The draft regs are currently going through an internal review process, but once the staff report and attachments are published for the 4/9 Planning Commission hearing, I’ll be sure to forward to you for your review.

Good Afternoon Elizabeth/Sachiko,
We wanted to check-in to see if you had any questions about these suggestions.

We’re happy to hop on a quick call to talk through it, and we can give some examples of what we’re building-out in other industrial buildings where Data Center and R&D/MFG uses are being placed in the same building. We can’t talk about the tenant and exact locations, but can talk about the business and build-out that these zoning suggestions would help facilitate during permitting.

Thanks,
Phil

Subject: Business Friendly Hayward Project - Follow-Up from Data Center discussion Elizabeth & Sachiko,
To follow-up on our discussions on the Data Center zoning, we’ve put together the attached redline to your zoning code that we think will meet industry trends, and create a pathway for the City Council to review large data center projects.

As we discussed, there is value to provide different permit pathways for different sizes of data centers. Large projects would go through the Major CUP process at City Council, others may
qualify for a regular CUP, while the smallest data centers could be permitted by right.

Providing an easier permit pathway for small scale projects that may occur in conjunction with an advanced manufacturing or R&D use in industrial zones could help attract and retain “high tech” users to Hayward in line with the goals of the Business-Friendly Hayward Project.

Our proposal aligns with examples we've seen in neighboring jurisdictions as well as existing State/CEC regulations. We also took some time to think through how a data center project would work through Hayward's Industrial Design Guidelines so you will see suggested edits in some areas, for example, how to tie into the Major Site Plan Review process if needed.

Given the timeframes for the zoning updates, we thought this redline format would be the 591
most efficient way to get our thoughts over to you to review. We would be happy to walk through it on a call next week to provide further context. Let us know times that work for you, we can make ourselves available first thing Monday/Tuesday next week.

Best,
Courtney

Dear Elizabeth,
I hope you are doing well.

I am writing to express my strong support for churches and faith-based organizations having greater access to operate within the City of Hayward, particularly in commercial areas.

Churches play a vital role in our community. Beyond religious services, they provide support systems for families, mentorship for youth, counseling, food distribution, and a sense of unity that strengthens neighborhoods. In many cases, they serve as a resource for individuals who may not otherwise have access to guidance or assistance.

Given the positive impact churches have, I believe it is important to revisit and reduce any unnecessary restrictions that limit their ability to operate or expand within the city. Allowing more flexibility in zoning and permitting would help these organizations continue to serve and uplift the community.

I respectfully encourage the City to consider policies that support and welcome churches as valuable contributors to Hayward’s social and community well-being.

Thank you for your time and for the work you do for our city. I would be happy to support this effort further if needed.

Thank you
Ricardo badilla

SUBJECT: Master Fee Schedule: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Fine and Bail Schedule, and Finding the Action is Exempt from California Environmental Quality Act Review

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council adopts the attached resolution (Attachment II) adopting the Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026-2027 (Attachment III) and the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Fine and Bail Schedule (Attachment IV) updating fees charged for services and fines and bail schedules with approved fee changes effective July 1, 2026, and finds the action exempt from CEQA review.

A complete and detailed listing of fees is reflected in the attached Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 and the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Fine and Bail Schedule (Attachment IV) and, once approved, can be found on the Master Fee Schedule website link found in the City’s website: https://www.hayward- ca.gov/your-government/documents/master-fee-schedule.

BACKGROUND
As part of a general cost recovery strategy, local governments have adopted user fees to fund programs and services that provide direct benefit to a specified user or have limited or no direct benefit to the community.

The City’s Master Fee Schedule and the Fine and Bail Schedule identify the fees for various City services and fines. Where appliable, the fees in the Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026-2027 are based on recovery for the cost of delivering services, such as building and fire inspections and must comply with provisions of current legislation.

If the City Council chooses to adopt a fee that does not recover the full cost of providing a service, the City must use General Funds to subsize that difference, which reduces funds that may be available to provide other services with community-wide benefits such as public safety or maintenance. Unlike most revenue sources, the City has more control over the level of user fees they charge to recover costs.

Legislative Requirements
Proposition 26 Review and Compliance
In November 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, which amended Articles XIIIA and XIIIC of the State constitution regarding the adoption of fees and taxes. Proposition 26 seeks to assure that taxes are not 602
disguised as fees: taxes must be approved by voters whereas legislative bodies, such as a City Council, can approve fees.

Proposition 218 Review and Compliance
In November 1996, California voters passed Proposition 218, the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act.” This constitutional amendment protects taxpayers by limiting the methods by which local governments can create or increase taxes, fees, and charges without taxpayer consent.

Proposition 218 requires voter approval prior to imposition or increase of general taxes, assessments, and certain user fees.

The proposed Master Fee, Fine and Bail Schedules have been reviewed for compliance with Propositions 26 and 218 and, in the City Attorney's opinion, are compliant.

DISCUSSION
The most recent comprehensive user fee and cost allocation plan study was conducted by Willdan Financial Services and presented to Council on August 20, 2024. Staff used this fee study as a basis for the proposed updates in this report. To update the 2024 fee study for FY 2026-2027, staff adjusted expenses that have changed since 2024. Due to salary and benefit increases over the past two years, there are significant updates to specific charges. Those changes can be reviewed in Attachment III.

In addition, the Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026-2027 will include chargeable hourly rates for all staff as a central source for this information. The chargeable hourly rates reflect the comprehensive cost of providing services, including the salary and benefit costs for providing service as well as associated costs such as services and supplies, department overhead and central overhead (City Attorney, Finance, Human Resources).

The following summary of changes in fees by program area reflects any new fees or other structural changes to a charge.

All City Departments
Fees categorized as “All City Departments” are generally associated with administrative citations, late or delinquent payments, copying of materials, and violations of smoking or tobacco ordinance. Charges for violations are proposed to remain the same as the prior year while costs of Administrative Hearing or Reinspection Fees are increasing to recover costs of such activities.

City Clerk
Fees for services performed by the City Clerk’s Office are primarily associated with passport services which are set by the United States Department of State or the United State Post Office. Therefore, these fees are maintained at the same level as the prior year. Staff recommends that other fees are also maintained at the same level as FY 2025-26 as those are minor fees with minimal activity or revenue impact.

Development Services
Most fees for services for the City of Hayward are associated with the Development Services Department.

While a few fees remain at the same level as FY 2025-26, fees are generally increasing between 9% and 27%, with a few fees increasing by a significantly higher percentage due to a previous subsidy.

The following fees are changing to reflect previously adopted resolutions (1) Park Impact Fees: All park impact fees will decrease by 0.6%, in accordance with Section 3 of Resolution 19-245. Detailed changes can be found in Attachment III. 603
(2) Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fees: Fees will be decreased by 0.6% based on January 2026 CCI % change and authorized by Resolution 17-167, as amended by Resolution 23-074. Additional changes are incorporated in Attachment III to simplify language, more clearly capture qualifying projects, simplify administration, improve fee predictability, support small infill development, and account for amendments affecting these fees.

Building Division Fee Adjustments are detailed in Attachment III. Following are structural modifications. (1) Update to the International Code Council valuation table to use the August 2025 ICC Building Valuation Data.
(2) Modification of valuation categories.
(3) Clarifications of circumstances of fee application
(4) Addition of the following fees:
a) Complete Building Demolition
b) Pool Demolition
c) Heat Pump Water Heater
d) Permit Extension Fees
e) Completion Fees
(5) New categories for Equipment Installation
Code Enforcement: Changes in the Code Enforcement Division Fees are primarily associated with clarifications of fee applicability.

Housing Division Fee Adjustments:
(1) Rent Stabilization Administration Fee: The due date for this administration fee is proposed to be modified to align with the annual billing cycle and establishing a Special Assessment for unpaid annual program fees.
(2) Administrative Citation Fine: Staff recommends establishing an this fine of $1,000 for violations of the Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance (TRAO), pursuant to Hayward Municipal Code (HMC) Chapter 1, Article 7 and Government Code Section 53069.4. (3) Loan Servicing and Monitoring: Staff recommends the following new fees:
a) Notary Services: Government Code section 8211 specifies the fees that can be charged for notary services.
b) Modification/Transfer Fee to establish cost recovery for staff time and administrative costs associated with reviewing and processing requests for ownership transfers and agreement modifications.
c) Update the subsection title from “Rental Housing” to “Affordable Housing” to more accurately reflect that the fees apply to all affordable development projects and to ensure clarity and consistency in administration.

Planning Division Fee Adjustments are detailed in Attachment III. Structural adjustments are outlined below:
(1) Various clarifications of fee application
(2) Modifications to deposit amounts and categories
(3) Addition of categories for Tree Removal Permit (
≤ 2 trees, 3 to 5 trees, 6 to 8 trees, > 9 trees,
Heritage Trees
604
(4) Addition of Fees:
a) Addition of Tree Pruning Permit
b) Planning, Landscaping Inspection and Reinspection
(5) Subject to approval of resolution associated with the Business Friendly Hayward item to be presented at this Council meeting, Planning recommends the following additions to the fee schedule (specific fees are listed in Attachment III):
a) Accessory Commercial Unit
b) Limited Entertainment Permit
c) Minor Temporary Use Permit
d) Major Conditional Use Permit
Engineering
While a few fees remain at the same level as FY 2025-26, fees are generally increasing between 2% and 20%.

The following new fees are proposed for Engineering and Transportation Services:
(1) Additional Inspections will be charged to customers who require additional inspections after normal work hours or on weekends. The need for further adjustments will be reviewed, and appropriate increases may be proposed in the future.
(2) Construction Inspection, Technical Support, and Project Closeout for Trenchless Construction (5% of Construction Cost prior to permit issuance). This fee is intended to assure these permit account balances remain positive and significantly reduce the staff time currently spent following up on unpaid invoices and contacting billing references. This may also help prevent delays in permit issuance, benefiting the applicant.
(3) Survey Monument Preservation Review Fee to recover the costs of Survey staff reviewing permit applications with potential monument preservation concerns. California Business and Professions Code 8771, (Professional Land Surveyors Act) specifically subsection (d) pertains to permitted construction or maintenance work and states, “The governmental agency performing or permitting construction or maintenance work is responsible for ensuring that either the governmental agency or landowner performing the construction or maintenance work provides for monument perpetuation required by this section.” The creation of this new fee will account for the average staff time-cost associated with this type of review.
(4) Floodplain Review Fee ($4000 -Deposit Time and Materials): The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has temporarily suspended processing of Conditional Letters of Map Revision (CLOMR-F) and Letters of Map Revision (LOMR-F) applications, applicants cannot obtain timely federal determinations that would otherwise validate proposed floodplain fill and related design assumptions; accordingly, for fill/grading projects within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, the City must perform enhanced due diligence to confirm that project design and construction will comply with the City’s floodplain management ordinance and remain consistent with applicable FEMA floodplain standards and engineering criteria. To ensure the technical analyses supporting these projects (e.g., hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, floodplain impacts, and associated plans/calculations) are accurate, complete, and defensible, the City needs the ability to retain an independent qualified consultant engineer to conduct a formal peer review, and the proposed deposit/T&M fee is necessary to recover the cost of that third-party review. This proposed fee is a refundable deposit, meaning any funds not used by the end of the project and review process will be returned to the developer. This fee would be used when the City retains an independent, qualified consultant 605
engineer to peer review the applicant’s supporting technical submittals (e.g., hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, plans, and calculations) and provide an independent review for accuracy and completeness.

This will be similar to other fee categories in which as deposit is collected from developers and costs of consultant or staff time is charged against it.

Staff also recommends removing the Major Street Improvement Plan Review. Costs for projects that fall within this category would be recovered through the “Encroachment Permit Application - Major Work” process, or through a formal Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) project.

In addition, staff recommends recategorizing fees from Engineering Services / Survey to Encroachment Permit Application, Minor Work, Survey.

Finance
While a few fees remain at the same level as FY 2025-26, fees are generally increasing between 3% and 20%. There are no new fees or structural changes proposed for Finance.

Fire Department
While a few fees remain at the same level as FY 2025-26, fees are generally increasing between 16% and 21%.

Staff recommends the following modifications to align with state law:
(1) Delete Hazardous Waste Generator Program – Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) as it has been combined with Hazardous Waste Generator – Small Quantity Generator (SQG).
(2) Modify definition for Hazardous Waste Generator – Small Quantity Generator (SQG) to read:
“Small Quantity Generator (SQG) – Less than 1,000 kilograms (approximately 270 gallons or 2200 pounds) per month. Less than one kilogram of acutely / extremely hazardous waste per month. (3) Modify definition for Hazardous Waste Generator – Large Quantity Generator (SQG) to read:
“Small Quantity Generator (SQG) – Less than 1,000 kilograms or more per month (approximately 270 gallons or 2200 pounds) per month or one kilogram or more of acutely / extremely hazardous waste per month.

Staff also recommends modification of the Non-Compliance Fee so that it is a general fee as it is currently only appliable to California Environmental Reporting System (CERS).

In addition, staff recommends adding the following No Show Fees to account for staff time and costs when the applicant does not show up for their appointment.
(1) Fire Prevention Office No Show for Inspection Appointment Fee (2) HazMat No Show for Inspection Appointment Fee
Information Technology
Hourly rates are increasing between 23% and 30%. There are no new fees or structural changes proposed for Information Technology. Information Technology has also provided updated information to support the Technology Fees collected by other departments.

Library
Most fees are maintained at the same level as the prior year. A few facilities charges and materials charges are being updated to align to other fees and reflect changing materials costs.

606
Maintenance Services
Fees are increasing between 15% and 25%. Maintenance Services has also recommended a change to the Bail and Fine Schedule increasing vehicle fines. This proposed increase supports continued compliance with parking regulations while remaining sensitive to community impact. Staff evaluated street sweeping violation fines throughout the region and found variable amounts: for example, Union City charges $110, San Francisco charges $105, and Fremont charges $90.

Police Department
Most fees associated with Animal Control are remaining the same as Fiscal Year 2025-26. For other Police services, fees are increasing between 12% and 25% with a few fees increasing by a significantly higher percentage due to previous subsidy
Public Works and Utilities
Fees are proposed to increase between 5% and 25%.

The department proposes the following new fines:
(1) Fine for Unauthorized Connection to a Fire Hydrant ($2,500/$5,000/$10,000): Water theft committed via the unauthorized connection to a fire hydrant in violation of Hayward Municipal Code Chapter 11, Article 2, Section 11-2.24 is punishable as follows:
a) A fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for a first violation. b) A fine not exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000) for a second violation of the same ordinance. c) A fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for the third violation and each additional violation of the same ordinance.
(2) Fine for Meter Tampering ($130/$700/$1,300): If water theft is committed via meter tampering in violation of an Hayward Municipal Code Chapter 1, Article 3, Section 1-3.00), it is punishable as follows:
a) A fine not exceeding one hundred thirty dollars ($130) for a first violation. b) A fine not exceeding seven hundred dollars ($700) for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year of the first violation.
c) A fine not exceeding one thousand three hundred dollars ($1,300) for the third violation and each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year of the first violation ordinance. (3) Backflow Related Fees for meter lock and meter unlock (service restoration) for backflow customers. The new fees being proposed below are intended to recover costs associated with the staff time, materials, and vehicle costs required to provide these services to customers. a) Additional visits for backflow inspection/test fee
b) Meter Lock Fee due to Non-Compliant Backflow
c) Backflow Service Restoration/Unlock Fee
(4) On-Site Visits Requested by Customers ($50) can be charged to customers who specifically request City staff to make an on-site visit outside of the normal scope of City staff maintenance and repair tasks. This fee is in line with what is charged by EBMUD ($50), ACWD ($50), and DSRSD ($112)
Staff also recommends updates to the Non-Residential Sewer Connection Fee Reduction Language. In Fiscal Year 2009 - 2010, in order to address the impacts of the 2008 recession, a 70% fee reduction to Non-Residential Sewer Connection Fee was introduced and has not been revised since Fiscal Year 2014. 607
Considering the current business conditions in Hayward and in light of the extremely high cost estimated for the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) Improvement Phase II project currently estimated at $498 million, staff is proposing a phased transition to promote fiscal sustainability, maintain equitable rate structures across the customer base, and reduce financial impacts to the utility over time. Currently the Non-Residential Sewer Connection Fee is reduced by 70% from actual costs. Staff is proposing to gradually modify from a reduction of 70% from actual costs to a reduction of 50% of actual costs beginning in Fiscal Year 2026-27 and gradually increasing that modification over several fiscal years to limit any immediate impact to businesses in Hayward.

In addition, staff recommends similar updates to the carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) and suspended solids (SS) milligrams per liter amounts due to domestic wastewater strengths having increased over the past several years due to water conservation efforts. Similar to the Non-Residential Sewer Connection Fee, staff is proposing to gradually modify from a reduction of 70% from actual costs to a reduction of 50% from actual costs beginning in Fiscal Year 2026-27 and gradually increasing that modification over several fiscal years to limit any immediate impact to businesses in Hayward

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Section 15273 of CEQA Guidelines which states that CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges by public agencies which the public agency finds are for the purposes of:

1. Meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits;

2. Purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials;

3. Meeting financial reserve needs and requirements;

4. Obtaining funds necessary for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing service areas; or

5. Obtaining funds necessary to maintain intra-city transfers as are authorized by City Charter.

ECONOMIC IMPACT
Approval of the attached resolution may have an economic impact on our community as fees and fines are added and increased. Revenues from fees will be used to provide services.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item is a routine operational item and does not specifically relate to any of the six priorities outlined in the Council’s Strategic Roadmap.

FISCAL IMPACT
Overall, staff anticipates that general fund revenues may increase by at least $1 million for Fiscal Year 2026-

27. Currently, most of the City’s fee do not offset the staff time spent performing the various activities supported by the fees. Adopting these fee changes will more closely align revenues with expenses.

PUBLIC CONTACT
A public notice was published in The Daily Review on March 14, 2026, and March 21, 2026. The public notice contained the meeting date announcing the time, location, and subject matter of this public hearing.

608

NEXT STEPS
Upon approval of the attached resolution the fees will be effective July 1, 2026, to allow for the required sixty-day notice period.

ACTION IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA REVIEW

WHEREAS, as part of a general cost recovery strategy, the City of Hayward has adopted user fees to fund programs and services that provide direct benefit to a specified user.

WHEREAS, in November 1996, California voters passed Proposition 218, the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act.” This constitutional amendment protects taxpayers by limiting the methods by which local governments can create or increase taxes, fees, and charges without taxpayer consent. Proposition 218 requires voter approval prior to imposition or increase of general taxes, assessments, and certain user fees.

WHEREAS, in November 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, which amended Article XIII C of the State Constitution regarding the adoption of fees and taxes.

Proposition 26 seeks to assure that taxes, which must be approved by the voters, are not disguised as fees, which can be approved by legislative bodies, such as a city council. The proposed Master Fee Schedule (MFS) is compliant.

WHEREAS, the proposed Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026-27 and the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Fine and Bail Schedule have been reviewed for compliance with Propositions 26 and 218 and, in the City Attorney's opinion, are compliant.

WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on April 21, 2026, to present the Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026-27 and the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Fine and Bail Schedule.

WHEREAS, Section 15273 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines states that CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges by public agencies wh ich the public agency finds are for the purposes of:

1. Meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits;

2. Purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials;

3. Meeting financial reserve needs and requirements;

4. Obtaining funds necessary for capital projects necessary to maintain 610

service within existing service areas; or

5. Obtaining funds necessary to maintain intra-city transfers as are authorized by City Charter; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Hayward hereby adopts Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026 -27 and the Fiscal Year 2026 -27 Fine and Bail Schedule relating to fees and charges for all departments of the City of Hayward incorporated herein by reference and as outlined in the April 21, 2026 , City Council report; either on its face or as applied, the invalidity of one provision shall not affect the other provisions of Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026 -27 or the Fiscal Year 2026- 27 Fine and Bail Schedule, and the applications thereof; and to that end the provisions of this Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2026 -27 and the Fiscal Year 2026 -27 Fine and Bail Schedule shall be deemed severable.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the fees and charges adopted by this resolution shall become effective as of July 1, 2026.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this action is determined to be exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Section 15273 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines based on the findings stated herein.

3 Introduction

The Master Fee Schedule Resolution reports fees for services that are provided to our citizens. Fees that do not recover the full cost of providing the service result in a subsidy which shifts funds away from the critical, high priority needs of job creation, public safety initiatives, utility services, and neighborhood programs.

Before a fee increase was considered the Department responsible for the service demonstrated that the services are being provided as efficiently and effectively as possible. There are a minimal number of fees that were considered for an increase in this year’s amendment. For these fees, each respective department demonstrated that services are provided in a best practice manner, and that all reasonable opportunities for savings have been exhausted. As a result of this critical analysis, only fees for new programs or services have been added. Additionally, other fees have been lowered, deleted, or to clarify actual fees charged for services.

Proposition 26 Review and Compliance

In November 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, which amended Article’s XIIIA and XIIIC of the state constitution regarding the adoption of fees and taxes. Proposition 26 seeks to assure that taxes, which must be approved by the voters, are not disguised as fees, which can be approved by legislative bodies, such as a city council. The proposed Master Fee Schedule (MFS) was reviewed for compliance with Proposition 26, and in the City Attorney’s opinion, the MFS is compliant.

All non-critical commercial and industrial users will be included in the above UCC classification that most closely represents the wastewater discharge strength and characteristics in comparison with domestic wastewater definition in the Regulations, as determined by the Director of Public Works. The UCC designation of a particular industry may not necessarily correspond to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) which may be assigned for other purposes.

Unclassified and Critical Users

(1) “Critical Users” and those whose discharge does not respond to any UCC because of variations in wastewater constituents or treatment costs shall pay an amount calculated in accordance with the following formula where,
C = V/M (160 Cv + CB x BOD + CS x SS)

C = Sewer service charge during period for which billing is calculated.

V= Volume of water consumed per hundred cubic feet (CCF) during period for which the billing is calculated (total of public water service, metered flow and all private sources, except those meters or services specifically identified for irrigation purposes only).

BOD= Average Biochemical Oxygen Demand, in milligrams per liter, from user during period for which the billing is calculated.

SS= Average Suspended Solids, in milligrams per liter, from user during period for which the billing is calculated.

Cv = Treatment cost per hundred cubic feet of water
CB = Treatment cost per pound of BOD
CS = Treatment cost per pound of SS
M = 160 for users with separate irrigation meters; and 178 for users without separate irrigation meters.
681
71 (1) The minimum fee for each non-residential user shall be that established for one (1) Service Unit per month.

Per Hayward Municipal Code Chapter 11, Article 3, Sec. 11-3.450 and Sec 11-3.455, the basis for determining the cost for treating and collecting wastewater will be the “service unit” which will be considered to be the basic charge for each premises computed on the basis of treating wastewater. The service units for commercial and industrial premises shall be based on categories of usage with similar treatment costs and grouped into User Classification Codes. The categories of usage, user classification codes, and service units to be applied per month for the purpose of determining the applicable sewer service charges shall be those as determined from time to time by resolution of the Hayward City Council.
