It's close, if not, criminal to approve this project with office building review and approval.

This is not an office building and it must be stopped until a thorough review is done for the right business/industry category. Shame of the Hayward Planning Commission for abusing their position to approve this project without proper community involvement, and more importantly without appropriate environmental review. Shame in every organization that was involved in the approval of this project knowing it was not going to be just an office building.

This needed community impact review. Data centers are of no benefit to local residents.

The drain on resources, pollution, noise, and light all night disrupt physical and mental health. They only benefit selfish, greedy billionaires. Ban them now and void this ill- considered agreement.

My understanding is that it’s too late, it’s gonna happen already, as our city is in debt Therefore cannot fight this in a lawsuit. Our mayor, city Council members should have blocked this, or at least brought it out in daylight for the public/us to see.

Can someone tell me why I/we should show up for this Town hall? Or even sign this petition?
Please enlighten me, it really appears too late to try to stop this Horrific plan. 2026-08-10 12:55:25 ET

California is already a regularly drought-laden state. We don't need more water taken and wasted.

California already has the highest energy rates in the country. We do not need more energy draw and higher bills- let's face it, data centers do not lower costs or pay for their own usage no matter what the propaganda says.

California does not need more noise pollution or protections for migration and wildlife disturbed or reduced or to cause any stress on our shorelines. We protect nature here. 2026-08-10 13:14:15 ET

Stop this data center. It was passed in secrecy without any public input. It is unconscionable that a 76.6 Megawatt project was approved in an area that is already subject to rolling blackouts in summer months. Also, the additional pollution being emitted from 28 diesel backup generators will impact the health of the community. Not to mention the important unanswered ethical questions regarding artificial intelligence’s impacts on humankind.

The people do not want data centers.

Data centers are not ministerial projects and should require full review.

Data centers have a substantial effect on the surrounding community. There must be a rule already in place that allows for community review before construction begins or is completed even when a project technically meets the standards for streamlined approval if the circumstances warrant. The city needs to give the community the opportunity to investigate and assess their options.

Not only is this unhealthy, it will excessively use up our resources. Cities should need their residents to vote on these type of businesses not just having decisions left up to commissions or council members. We need to get legislation passed to stop all of these data centers until they can prove they can recycle resources, make them safe for the communities and provide no harmful emissions into our air and noise pollution reductions as well. I vote No on all data centers!

They started building with out asking the cities permission. Shame on us for letting that slip.

Here is out opportunity to right the wrong. If a full environmental review shows it is safe for citizens to live that close to that size of a powerful building, fine continue construction, but the review comes back that it is not safe, or if a review isn't even permit to be conducted and something catastrophic happens. We all have to live with the results. Are you good with that?

It’s not OK that this was approved without Hayward city council or a public hearing.

Very Sneaky, and unacceptable.

Infrastructure SVYO3A was allegedly approved under a now revised code that requires a more robust review. The previous code gave allowance for office buildings of a similar size and power consumption. This is not an office building and known impacts from noise, power consumption from grid and water consumption need to be reviewed and addressed.

Thank you,

The development of this data center at this location was made without any consideration of the environmental impact, power consumption intended for residential use. This is merely a corporate land grab without following normal adherence to city and county process and regulations. I concur with the following impact to be caused by this GROSS DATA CENTER. GO TO THE DESERT AND TRANSMUTE YOUR AI VIA SATELLITE. STOP CAU IMPACT OF YOUR CENTER:

1. Power grid strain: Electrical capacity equivalent to powering roughly 76,000 homes, drawn by a single private facility.

2. Diesel emissions: 28 backup diesel generators sited near residential neighborhoods and the Eden Landing shoreline/estuary, with real air quality consequences.

3. Noise, heat, and traffic from 24/7 industrial operation in a community setting.

4. Process: Approval granted with minimal public notice and no City Council vote on a project of this scale.

AS A RESIDENT IN A NEABY COMMUNITY, I REQUEST:

1. A full, independent Environmental Impact Report before any further permits, expansions, or generator installations are approved.

2. A public City Council hearing and vote on SVY03A's remaining approvals, consistent with the City's own new 50 MW threshold rule.

3. Public disclosure of the facility's projected water and electricity consumption.

4. A moratorium on new hyperscale data center approvals in Hayward until updated zoning and environmental safeguards are in place.

Thank you for your time. I urge you to use your leadership and commitment to protect Hayward's residential community as well as its ecological and natural heritage. 2026-08-10 22:22:04 ET

Ai data centers are disgusting, unethical, and completely against the favor of not only humanity but the nature that lives around us. Data centers are polluting waters and land throughout the US, and I refuse to support that death warranty for all beings on this earth.

The water projections aren’t my only concern. The massive amount of energy consumed by this 76.6 megawatt data center will be a huge drain on our power system. We had to add the 619 Megawatt Russell Energy station in 2013 to take care of existing power needs. This data center will need more than 10% of the output of the Russell Energy station.

We had a significant explosion 5 years ago at the Russell Station now we want to add a massive data center and 28 diesel backup generators within a stone’s throw of an elementary school, a Community College and a residential neighborhood. This is disgusting. 2026-08-11 19:57:12 ET

I strongly oppose data center development in the City of Hayward.

Hayward does not need more data centers, and I do not believe the ones already operating represent the type of development we should have welcomed into our community in the first place. The fact that some facilities already exist is not a reason to continue down the same path.

Data centers are extremely resource-intensive. They require enormous amounts of electricity, can consume significant amounts of water depending on their cooling systems, and often rely on backup generators that contribute to air pollution. These facilities place demands on resources and infrastructure while creating environmental and public health concerns for the communities surrounding them.

For me, this is not a question of whether data centers can generate enough tax revenue or economic benefit to justify those impacts. They cannot. I do not believe we should trade the health of our environment, our natural resources, or the well-being of Hayward residents for additional revenue.

Not all economic development is good economic development. Money generated at the expense of our environment and community is not the kind of economic growth Hayward should pursue.

Hayward has limited land and resources, and we should be responsible stewards of both. We should pursue development that complements our community rather than placing additional demands on our electricity, water, air quality, and infrastructure.

California already faces serious challenges involving energy demand, water availability, air quality, and climate change. Adding more large-scale, resource-intensive data centers moves us in the wrong direction.

This is not opposition to technology. It is about recognizing that data centers are not appropriate development for Hayward, regardless of how much potential revenue they may generate.

Projects that have been approved but have not yet been built should be reconsidered and stopped wherever legally possible. The City should also reject additional data center development going 2026-08-15 13:07:58 ET

These data centers are so harmful and I am really curious as to why the Planning Committee felt that this would be a “Good idea† . It seems to me that the planning committee assessed their pockets over their hearts because anyone with brains, logic and a a heart of flesh would’ve never considered this a good idea.

Data centers require significant upgrades to the electrical infrastructure and grid. PG&E may need to build new substations, upgrade existing systems, and install additional power poles and equipment. Substations can cost millions of dollars to build, and individual utility poles and related infrastructure can cost well over $100,000.

So, who ultimately pays for all of this?
Nothing comes for free. The costs associated with expanding and upgrading the electrical infrastructure can potentially be passed on to ratepayers, including residents of Hayward.

Just because a data center creates jobs and generates revenue doesn’t automatically mean it will be better for everyone or that there are no costs to the community.

At this point, I won’t even get into the other potential concerns because many of us are still learning about them. But one issue is already clear: the constant noise from these facilities is a concern.

And personally, I’m also concerned about what happens to our electricity bills if significant infrastructure upgrades are needed to support these data centers.

The people of Hayward do you not want any data centers in our city or surrounding areas.

We were not even informed of this data center or the Amazon on on the north side of Hwy

92. It was snuck in through the planning and permit departments. This data center is too close to homes and the Hayward shoreline and wetlands. It will cause light and air pollution that could affect people and migrating birds and animals and local wildlife as well. It will also affect our rates for water and power and it will not provide jobs for very many people if it is completed.

No to data centers in Hayward!

I am a new Environmental Engineer for the Russell City Energy Center (RCEC) and I strongly oppose the development and establishment of this data center and others in the area. In 2013 the RCEC was established and open. But before it got to that point there was years before of work, and very thorough investigation on the Environmental, Health, and Safety impacts of this power plant and the effects it would have on our community. So many bureaus of California were actively involved in the approval process for this powerplant including the California Energy Commission (CEC), Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA), Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), EPA, California State Water Board, multiple municipalities of the City of Hayward and counting. These sectors listed are just the agencies I communicate with on a monthly basis because we are heavily regulated and WITH REASON TO BE. RCEC went as far as putting environmental restrictions on themselves, making them the nations first power plant to voluntarily limit greenhouse gas emissions. Knowing the scrutiny and reasonable public pushback to place RCEC where it is now raises the question as to why this data center did not go through the same thorough review, but instead had rules put into place, and exemptions passed for their benefit to push forward in the construction process. It almost seems as though Data Centers are being prioritized and expedited while finding loopholes to get the job done. Today, these data centers are being used to compute and analyze the ideas and questions that are input users, tomorrow they will be replicating and replacing human cognition and ultimately reducing labor costs in order for the rich to get richer and the poor, to die.

Public Comment - Item 21, RPT 26-064 - Data Center Referral Tuesday, September 15, 2026 1:50:08 PM

Re: Council Referral - Prohibition on Data Center Development (Agenda Item 21, RPT 26-064 - September 15, 2026 City Council Meeting) From: Alex, a resident, Calaroga Avenue, Glen Eden neighborhood, South Hayward
I. Summary
I write in support of a permanent, Counci l-enacted ban on future data center development in Hayward (the third option identified in the September 15, 2026 staff report), paired with immed iate adoption of an urgency moratorium under Government Code section 65858 so that new applications cannot be filed while the ban ordinance is drafted. I also ask Council to direct that the cumulative burden already carried by South Hayward , and the financial exposure residents face from rising utility and water costs, be addressed directly as part of this process - not treated as a separate matter.

II. What has already changed, and why it is not enough
I recogn ize that Council has already acted once on this issue. On April 21 , 2026, Council amended the Municipal Code to define "data center" as its own use category (previously data centers were included under the genera l "office" use and approvable by right) , created a new Major Conditional Use Permit process requiring Council approval for any future data center, and required a Sustainability Plan and Community Benefits Package for all future applications regardless of size. No new data center applications have been filed since. That amendment was the right step, and it means Counci l will now have a forma l role in reviewing any future project.

But requiring Counci l review is not the same as protecting South Hayward from the next high­ impact facility. Under the current process, the City must still accept and process new applications while any strengthened regulat ions or a ban are being drafted - a process staff estimates will take approximate ly six to nine months, with Planning Commiss ion and Counci l hearings not occurring until spring 2027. An urgency moratorium is the only option on the table tonight that stops new applications immed iately. I ask Counci l to adopt one alongside the ban referral, not as an alternat ive to it.

Ill. Why a ban, not only stronger review, is warranted
The City's own staff report confirms that Hayward's existing data center facilities are concentrated in South Hayward and adjacent industria l corridors: Amazon Data Center SF09 (approved 2010 ) and SF011 (approved 2015), both approved administratively; the Clawiter Road data center (approved February 11 , 2021, developed by Hines); and the STACK SVY03A campus at Eden Landing Road (approved May 22, 2025 ), which includes up to 67.2 megawatts of on-site diesel backup generation .

These facilities do not land on a blank slate . South Hayward and the Glen Eden neighborhood already carry a concentration of industr ial and transportat ion burdens that no single project review has ever evaluated cumulatively : St. Rose Hospital with its associated ambulance traffic , Hayward Fire Department Station 4, Southwest Airlines flight paths passing directly overhead homes as well as aircraft traffic from Hayward Executive Airport , a location pincered betwee n two active rail corridors , and a cluster of three separate waste and odor-generating facilities within roughly 800 feet of one another on Enterprise Avenue near the shoreline - Stericycle medical waste processing, the City's own Water Pollution Control wastewater treatment plant, and the GreenWaste Hayward Transfer Station for municipal solid waste. This is a recognizable pattern — the same pattern that has shaped communities like Richmond for decades: industrial, infrastructure, and utility burdens concentrated in the neighborhoods with the least political leverage to say no. A permanent ban on future data center development is a direct, achievable way for Council to ensure Hayward does not continue writing that pattern into South Hayward's future.

IV. Community benefits have not matched the burden
The community-benefits packages accepted for existing facilities do not reflect the scale of disruption residents are being asked to absorb. In exchange for a building-height increase, the Clawiter Road project's benefits package funded off-site bicycle infrastructure, on-site art installations, and an outdoor food-truck plaza — amenities poorly matched to an industrial corridor with minimal bicycle or pedestrian traffic. STACK's $2 million commitment was directed to unspecified City projects and community groups, with no portion earmarked for the residents most directly affected by rising utility costs, noise, or property-value uncertainty. Future community- benefits packages should be required to address the actual burdens these facilities impose on nearby residents, not generic amenities disconnected from the impact.

Property values are a further open question. Like the health, noise, and utility-cost impacts already noted, the effect of these facilities on nearby home values will not be known with certainty until they are fully built and operating. I ask that Council treat potential property-value impact as one more risk the requested cost-of-living study should examine, alongside utility and water costs, rather than a matter to be assumed away in either direction before the facilities are even complete.

V. Addressing the tax-revenue trade-off honestly
Staff's report projects STACK alone at $5 to $9 million annually in tax revenue, and notes that a ban forecloses similar revenue from future projects. I do not think this trade-off favors continued development. That revenue does not offset the rising utility and water costs, noise, and health burdens that fall directly on residents living near these facilities, and nothing in the current process directs any of it back to the residents most affected. I ask Council to weigh this honestly rather than default to the revenue projection alone.

VI. Requested actions
I respectfully ask the Council to:

1. Adopt an urgency moratorium (Government Code section 65858) tonight, in parallel with directing staff to prepare a permanent ban ordinance, so no new applications can be filed during the six-to-nine-month drafting process.

2. Direct the Council Sustainability Committee's report (already ordered under the August 12, 2026 referral) to include an explicit cumulative-impact analysis of South Hayward and Glen Eden — accounting for St. Rose Hospital, Fire Station 4, flight paths, airport proximity, rail corridors, and the Enterprise Avenue cluster of waste and odor-generating facilities already present — rather than evaluating data centers in isolation.

3. Commission an independent, Hayward-specific study of property-value and cost-of-living impact for South Hayward, rather than assuming an outcome one way or the other before any facility is fully built and operating.

4. Require that any future community-benefits package be tied directly to the demonstrated financial and quality-of-life impacts on nearby residents — utility-cost relief, property-value protection, renewable energy home retrofits — rather than generic amenities unconnected to those impacts, and direct staff to evaluate redirecting any unallocated portion of STACK's existing $2 million commitment toward that purpose.

5. Formally track and support pending state legislation addressing data-center ratepayer protection (SB 886, AB 2383, SB 1168) and water-use reporting (AB 2469, AB 2619, AB 1577), and direct staff to report to Council when the Governor acts on these bills.

6. If the ban ordinance includes any exclusion or exception for existing or already-approved facilities, require binding, publicly reported monitoring of environmental mitigation commitments and generator testing/noise conditions as a condition of that exclusion.

South Hayward residents are not asking Council to undo what has already been approved. We are asking Council to use every tool available tonight — the moratorium, the ban, the Sustainability Committee report, and the community-benefits process — to make sure this neighborhood does not absorb another high-impact facility while the ordinance is written, and that residents already living with the cumulative burden are not left to bear rising costs alone. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Hayward City Council Members,
I’m writing to ask you to support the proposed ban on future data centers and increased oversight of data center projects that have already been approved, including SVY03A.

As a Hayward resident, I believe our community needs to be thoughtful about how we use our limited water and energy resources. Large data centers can place significant demands on these resources, and I feel the City should put the interests and longterm well being of its residents first.

Please vote in favor of the Data Center Ban & Oversight Referral and take steps to ensure that existing and future projects receive the appropriate attention.

Thank you for your time and for considering my concern as a resident of Hayward.

Sincerely,

Dear City Council Members and City Clerk,

PLEASE DISREGARD THE PREVIOUS EMAIL I SENT, I APOLOGIZE, I HAD SENT YOU THE WRONG ATTACHMENTS....THIS EMAIL CONTAINS THE CORRECT FILES.

Subject: Submission of Proposed Data Center Oversight Ordinance Framework and Technical Letter – SVY03A
Dear Members of the Hayward City Council and City Clerk, On behalf of Hayward Residents Against SVY03A, we are submitting the enclosed Ordinance Framework for Data Center Oversight. Ordinance Shorthand and Transparency, along with an accompanying Technical Letter signed by credentialed professionals, for inclusion in the public record ahead of your consideration of the STACK Infrastructure SVY03A project.

The proposed ordinance framework outlines a set of oversight measures we believe should apply to SVY03A and to any future data center development in Hayward, including:
• Binding, independently-verified public reporting of water, wastewater, and energy use
• A full Council hearing and vote before any future expansion or added generator capacity
• Meaningful enforcement mechanisms, including a penalty schedule and complaint portal
• Consistent application of these standards to every data center operating in Hayward The Technical Letter provides supporting analysis from professionals with relevant public health and environmental expertise, and speaks to the monitoring and reporting mechanisms we believe are necessary for responsible oversight of this project.

We respectfully request that both documents be entered into the official record for the Council's review and for consideration in any future legislative action on data center oversight in Hayward. We are happy to answer any questions the Council or staff may have.

Thank you for your time and attention to this important issue.

Sincerely,

Re: September 15, 2026 legislative referral on data-center policy — professional recommendations on the monitoring and reporting process for existing facilities, including STACK Infrastructure SVY03A To: Honorable Mayor Mark Salinas, Mayor Pro Tempore George Syrop, Councilmember Angela Andrews, and the full Hayward City Council
Via: Miriam Lens, City Clerk, City of Hayward, 777 B Street, Hayward, CA 94541 cc: Jennifer Ott, City Manager; Michael S. Lawson, City Attorney; Sara Buizer, Development Services Director Date: September [__], 2026
Subject: Technical recommendations for the monitoring and reporting process contemplated by the September 15, 2026 legislative referral
Executive summary
We, the undersigned professionals, respectfully submit this letter in advance of the Council’s September 15, 2026 consideration of the legislative referral from Mayor Salinas, Mayor Pro Tempore Syrop, and Councilmember Andrews. The referral directs staff to begin the process of amending the Hayward zoning code to prohibit new data- center development and to establish a process for monitoring and reporting on the economic and environmental impacts of data centers previously approved for development or already operating in the City.

We write in support of both parts of the referral and in support of its passage as authored.

Our purpose in this letter is not to add to the case for the referral itself. The three co-authors, the City Manager, and the residents who have been active on this issue have already made that case. Our purpose is technical: to identify the specific mechanisms the eventual monitoring-and-reporting ordinance should include, so that when City staff and the City Attorney return with a draft, the draft has the operational specificity that hyperscale facilities require.

A supporting policy framework outline covering these mechanisms in detail has been prepared separately and is available to staff, the City Attorney, and any Councilmember who wishes to review it.

Attachment A to this letter provides technical background, prepared by Theodora Scarato, MSW, on the avian and wildlife impacts associated with high-voltage transmission infrastructure, supporting the disclosure recommendation in Section 3.7. The facility (26062 Eden Landing Road, approximately 310,000 square feet, 28 backup diesel generators) has 76.6 megawatts of peak permitted electrical demand — the approved capacity of its backup- generation system — which is distinct from its anticipated operating load of approximately 67.2 megawatts , the amount of electricity the facility is expected to draw from the grid under normal, non-backup conditions. Both figures are used at different points in this letter, and each is labeled accordingly.

1. The two parts of the referral, and why both matter
The referral has two parts. First, a prospective ban on new data-center development in Hayward. Second, a monitoring and reporting process for facilities previously approved or already operating. Both parts respond to the same underlying concerns raised by residents; both parts belong in the ordinance staff eventually returns with; and neither part should be separated from the other during the drafting process. 15 Technical Letter to Hayward City Council Agenda #21 File # RPT 26-064

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

The prospective ban addresses future risk. It ensures that whatever operational impacts unfold at the two large facilities Hayward has already approved will not be compounded by additional hyperscale facilities on the same utility, water, air, and neighborhood infrastructure.

The monitoring and reporting process addresses present risk. The STACK Infrastructure SVY03A facility is entitled and will begin operating. The prospective ban does not affect it. What determines whether SVY03A’s approved Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) actually functions as an operational safeguard, rather than as paper commitments, is whether the City has post-approval oversight infrastructure in place.

We urge the Council to keep both parts of the referral intact through the drafting process and through eventual ordinance adoption.

2. The technical basis for the monitoring and reporting process Facilities at SVY03A’s scale present six operational impact categories that require ongoing, transparent verification:

1. Water consumption — including sourcing (potable municipal via BAWSCA, recycled via East Bay Dischargers Authority / Delta Diablo, or other), end use (cooling towers, ancillary), and any deviation from projected consumption identified in the approved MMRP.

2. Backup-generator operation — per-unit runtime, fuel consumption, and cumulative air-emissions loading, particularly NOx and PM2.5, within the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) permit envelope.

3. Noise at the property line — continuous, impulse, and low-frequency noise, particularly during periods of active generator operation, measured against limits appropriate to adjacent residential, mixed-use zones, shorelines and nature preserves which belong in conservation or open-space zones protecting animals and plants.

4. CEQA MMRP condition compliance — measure-by-measure verification that adopted mitigation commitments are being executed as certified.

5. Heat generation — generation of heat, both normal and peak operational, may impact local and regional temperatures, particularly during extreme heat events, affecting public health including vulnerable populations.

6. Grid interconnection and power quality — SVY03A requires a new dedicated PG&E switching station, an on-site substation, and new transmission infrastructure sized to the facility’s approved backup- generation capacity of approximately 76.6 MW (peak permitted electrical demand), comparable to the electricity use of roughly 60,000 to 76,000 homes. This capacity figure should be distinguished from the facility’s anticipated operating load of approximately 67.2 MW — the amount of electricity the facility is expected to draw from the grid under normal, non-backup conditions. The two figures describe different things and should not be presented interchangeably in the ordinance or in any staff analysis. The facility's cooling systems rely on variable-frequency and variable-speed drives, which are non-linear electrical loads capable of injecting current harmonics back into the public distribution grid, with corresponding effects on nearby equipment and appliances. Rapid load swings, including transfer to or from backup generation during grid emergencies, present an additional risk of localized voltage fluctuation.

Under California Public Resources Code § 21081.6, a public agency adopting mitigation measures under CEQA must adopt “a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.” The statute establishes the requirement and leaves implementation to the local jurisdiction. In practice, an MMRP that is not paired with publicly accessible reporting, independent monitoring where the impact category warrants it, a designated enforcement office, and financial or permit-based consequences for verified non-compliance functions as a paper commitment rather than an operational safeguard. This is the pattern documented across jurisdictions that have permitted hyperscale data centers without post-approval oversight infrastructure, as compiled in the AI Now Institute’s North Star Data Center Policy Toolkit (datacenters.ainowinstitute.org/local).

The monitoring and reporting process contemplated by the referral is the mechanism through which SVY03A’s already-adopted MMRP becomes operationally enforceable.

3. Recommended mechanisms for the monitoring and reporting ordinance
We recommend that the eventual ordinance include the following mechanisms.

3.1 Quarterly public reporting
Filed by each covered facility no later than 45 days after each calendar quarter, publicly posted on a dedicated City webpage within 15 days of filing, and not treated as trade-secret material. Reports should cover:
• Water: total consumption by month; sourcing breakdown (BAWSCA potable, recycled, other); end use (server cooling, facility cooling, ancillary); variance from projected consumption in the approved MMRP. • Generators: per-unit runtime in hours; per-unit fuel consumption in gallons; cumulative runtime since installation; NOx, PM2.5, and CO emissions estimates using current BAAQMD emissions factors; copies of any BAAQMD notices or exceedance reports.
• Noise: property-line measurements at not fewer than four fixed monitoring points, taken during representative operational periods including at least one period of active generator operation, per ANSI S12.9 or equivalent, covering continuous, impulse, and low-frequency noise. • MMRP status: condition-by-condition compliance status for every measure adopted in the facility’s certified MMRP.
• Climate and Public Health: monitoring temperatures (average lows and highs and peak high temperatures) at weather stations across the City and region, and the frequency of heat-related Emergency Medical Services and Environmental Health events in the years prior to and following the operation of the facility.

3.2 Third-party monitoring for facilities with 15 or more backup generators Continuous fenceline air-quality monitoring (PM2.5, NOx, CO, SO2, VOCs), publicly available in near-real-time via a City-hosted dashboard, with equipment and data processing conducted by an independent third-party contractor selected from a City-approved list. Annual independent noise verification and annual independent water- use audit against BAWSCA and East Bay Dischargers Authority records. SVY03A, with 28 backup generators, meets this threshold.

3.3 Financial penalties calibrated to facility scale
Nominal fines have been demonstrated ineffective at hyperscale. Benton County, Arkansas imposes $1,000 fines for data-center ordinance violations; Prince William County, Virginia caps noise-violation penalties at $5,000. Both are characterized as insufficient in the North Star Toolkit and consistent with the operating-scale mismatch we anticipate here.

Appropriate mechanisms include:
• Administrative penalties, calibrated to facility scale and set at levels the City Attorney and finance staff confirm are enforceable and proportionate — for example, escalating per-day penalties for late reports, materially incomplete reports, or verified exceedances, with continuing violations treated as separate offenses for each day of continuation.
• A dedicated Community Impact Fund receiving all penalty revenue, restricted to water infrastructure, air- quality mitigation, noise mitigation, and independent monitoring in neighborhoods within a defined radius of any covered facility.
• A formal compliance-review process before the Planning Commission for facilities with a documented pattern of non-compliance, consistent with California due-process requirements and any applicable vested- rights protections.

3.4 Designated Enforcement Office
Technical Letter to Hayward City Council Agenda #21 File # RPT 26-064

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

A Data Center Oversight function within the City’s Environmental Services Division, Community Development Department, or such other City department as the City Manager designates, tasked with report intake, complaint investigation, coordination with BAAQMD / BAWSCA / Delta Diablo / East Bay Dischargers Authority / Ava Community Energy, and an Annual Data Center Oversight Report to Council.

3.5 Applicability of the monitoring and reporting piece Facilities meeting any one of the following thresholds should be covered: 150,000 square feet or more; 50 (plus or minus 10%) megawatts or more peak permitted electrical demand; 15 or more backup generators; or 10 acres or more of site area. SVY03A meets all four. Other data centers previously approved or already operating in Hayward should be assessed against these thresholds and covered if any threshold is met.

3.6 Explicit non-rescission language
The monitoring and reporting portion of the ordinance should include an explicit statement that it does not rescind, modify, or challenge any prior land-use approval, Conditional Use Permit, Development Agreement, or CEQA certification. It operates under the City’s police power to impose ongoing operational transparency and monitoring obligations on facilities that already hold valid entitlements. This framing addresses the vested-rights question and preserves the entitlement while establishing the oversight infrastructure the entitlement’s MMRP presumes. We recommend this language, and the ordinance’s approach to facilities with existing entitlements generally, be reviewed by the City Attorney’s office before adoption to confirm the extent to which new monitoring or reporting obligations may be applied to previously approved projects.

3.7 Power quality and grid-interconnection monitoring
SVY03A's cooling infrastructure and its interconnection to the regional grid raise power-quality and public-safety questions distinct from, and in addition to, the water, air, and noise mechanisms above. We recommend the ordinance include:
• Baseline and ongoing harmonic monitoring: an independent assessment of harmonic distortion and power quality on the distribution lines and substation(s) serving SVY03A, taken before the facility begins operation, with follow-up assessments within 30 days of full operations and at monthly regular intervals thereafter.
• Point-of-interconnection monitoring: continuous monitoring for total harmonic distortion, voltage flicker, and load-swing events at the facility's point of interconnection, with results reported to the City and shared with PG&E.
• No additional transmission capacity without Council review: any future request by STACK, or any covered facility, for additional dedicated powerlines or transmission capacity beyond what is approved in the initial entitlement should require a public hearing before the Council. • Cost-allocation transparency: recurring disclosure of how grid-interconnection and distribution-upgrade costs are allocated between the facility and ratepayers, consistent with the cost-allocation framework established under SB 886 and AB 2383.
• EMF and avian-impact disclosure: given the facility's proximity to the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve, disclosure of expected Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic field levels from the new substation and transmission lines, and an assessment of potential transmission-line effects on avian species consistent with the applicable wildlife literature. We recommend the disclosure summarize these established mechanisms and cite the underlying literature (see Attachment A).

3.8 Hazardous-materials inventory and emergency-response coordination We recommend the ordinance require covered facilities to fund, on an ongoing basis:
• Hazardous-materials inventory reporting: an annual, publicly available inventory of hazardous materials stored or used on site (including diesel fuel, lubricants, refrigerants, and battery-system chemicals), filed with the City and with the local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA), and updated whenever the inventory changes materially.

Technical Letter to Hayward City Council Agenda #21 File # RPT 26-064

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

• Emergency-response coordination: funding for coordination with the Hayward Fire Department and other local emergency-response agencies, including facility-specific pre-incident plans, on-site emergency contact protocols, and any specialized training or equipment those agencies identify as necessary to respond to an incident at the facility.
• Environmental monitoring tied to actual impacts: monitoring requirements should be technically supportable, clearly defined, and directly related to the facility’s documented operations and materials on site, rather than open-ended.

As with the other mechanisms in this section, we recommend this requirement be reviewed by the City Attorney’s office and by the Fire Department before adoption to confirm the appropriate scope and legal basis.

4. Precedent and comparable frameworks
The recommendations above draw on established municipal precedent, not novel legal theory:
• AI Now Institute, North Star Data Center Policy Toolkit — the most comprehensive current compilation of local data-center policy interventions, including reporting frameworks, monitoring standards, enforcement mechanisms, and noise thresholds (datacenters.ainowinstitute.org/local). • Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority MMRP structure — a well-tested quarterly Status Summary Report format with mitigation-measure-by-measure compliance tracking, directly transferable to a data- center context.
• Phoenix, Arizona; McPherson County, South Dakota; and Marana, Arizona — noise limits of 55 dBA daytime and 45 dBA nighttime at property lines abutting residential zones. • Cheyenne, Wyoming Board of Public Utilities — precedent for water-service consequences following documented data-center water-quality violations at a Meta facility. • Prince George’s County, Maryland (CR-066-2026) — Qualified Data Center Task Force framework for jurisdictions taking a phased approach to oversight.
• Monterey Park, California (Ordinance No. 2278) — municipal-code integration and CEQA-compatibility framing for a data-center-specific local ordinance that included a prospective prohibition on new facilities.

5. What we are not asking
For clarity, and to prevent the September 15 discussion from being framed around actions that are not being requested:
• We are not asking the Council to reopen or challenge the SVY03A CEQA certification. • We are not asking the Council to rescind the SVY03A entitlement. • We are not proposing that Hayward duplicate BAAQMD’s air-permit authority, BAWSCA’s regional water-allocation authority, State Water Board water-quality authority, or California Energy Commission siting authority. The recommended ordinance is drafted to report on compliance with those agencies’ requirements, not to establish parallel substantive standards. • We are not asking the Council to modify the referral. The referral as authored addresses both prospective and existing facilities in the correct proportion.

6. What we are asking
At the September 15 meeting:

7. Pass the referral as authored by Mayor Salinas, Mayor Pro Tempore Syrop, and Councilmember Andrews, with both parts intact.

8. Direct staff to prepare, within 60 to 90 days, both an amendment to the zoning code prohibiting new data centers and an ordinance establishing the monitoring and reporting process for existing facilities.

Technical Letter to Hayward City Council Agenda #21 File # RPT 26-064

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

During the drafting window:

9. Instruct staff to include the mechanisms identified in Section 3 above (quarterly public reporting, third- party monitoring for facilities with 15+ generators, calibrated financial penalties, a designated enforcement office, a community-impact fund, and facility-funded hazardous-materials inventory and emergency- response coordination), with the technical, legal, and public-health review recommended above.

At the eventual ordinance adoption:

10. Adopt the ordinance with both the prospective ban and the monitoring/reporting piece intact.

7. Offer of technical support
If requested, the undersigned professionals and supporting coalition may voluntarily offer:
• Provide additional technical background to staff, the City Attorney, or individual Councilmembers on any point above;
• Provide contact information for peer municipal staff in jurisdictions that have implemented comparable frameworks;
• Respond to written questions from Council or staff in advance of the September 15 meeting or during the drafting window.

Attachment A: Data Centers, Power Lines, and Birds — Technical Background
Prepared by Theodora Scarato, MSW, Director of the EMF Program at Environmental Health Sciences. Provided as technical background supporting the recommended EMF and avian-impact disclosure in Section 3.7.

Data centers require massive, uninterrupted amounts of electricity. To meet this intense demand, data centers often require dedicated high-voltage transmission lines and electrical substations. This electrical grid expansion can impact wildlife, especially birds.

High-voltage transmission lines can produce corona discharge, a phenomenon in which the intense electric field surrounding energized conductors ionizes the surrounding air. The result is visible light, crackling and hissing sounds, ozone, and other reactive gases, while also creating radio interference.

UV: When high-voltage power lines create corona discharge, they produce continuous, popping flashes of ultraviolet (UV) light that are invisible to humans but reported to be highly disruptive to wildlife. Many birds and mammals have UV vision. Tyler et al. (2014), Conservation Biology, reported that mammals and ground-nesting birds may avoid habitat for kilometers around high-voltage power lines, in some cases for decades, and that visible- to-wildlife ultraviolet corona discharges may contribute to this behavior. According to a PBS NOVA article, “Power Lines Look Like Terrifying Bursts of Light to Animals,” this visual pollution forces large mammals and birds to avoid transmission corridors by up to 2 miles. The article featured a study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B in which scientists analyzed the eyeballs of 38 different mammalian species and found that most mammals can, in fact, see UV light — including dogs, cats, ferrets, and reindeer.

Dr. Nicolas Tyler, an ecologist at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, has stated that the loss and fragmentation of habitat by infrastructure is a principal global threat to biodiversity, and that power lines belong on the same list of concern as roads in that respect.

While birds frequently perch on neighborhood power lines, they often avoid ultra-high-voltage transmission lines because the intense corona discharge described above is unique to high-voltage systems.

Due to collisions and electrocutions, power lines can kill hundreds of millions of birds each year. Further bird impacts result from the change in habitat caused by vegetation removal for transmission rights-of-way, which can be up to 100 meters wide and cross natural habitats across long stretches of land, fragmenting landscapes for birds and other wildlife.

Pálsdóttir et al. (2022), published in the International Journal of Avian Science, surveyed breeding birds along overhead power lines in Iceland and found that the combined breeding density of eight common ground-nesting bird species was lowest near power lines and increased with distance. The authors identify predator perching, visual disturbance, and noise as contributing factors, and note that power lines generate an electromagnetic field that has been shown to affect avian behavior, physiology, and development, concluding that these effects should be accounted for in future infrastructure planning.

Research has found that the electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) generated by high-voltage transmission lines can affect bird physiology, behavior, reproduction, and development. Examples include:
• Fernie and Reynolds (2005), published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, reviewed numerous field and laboratory studies on the effects of power-line EMF on birds and concluded that most studies reported EMF exposure altered bird behavior, reproductive success, growth and development, physiology, endocrinology, and oxidative stress.
• Mohamed et al. (2015), published in the Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, exposed fertilized chicken eggs to magnetic fields at levels below IEEE limits before incubation and found that exposure altered hemoglobin conductivity and reduced red-blood-cell membrane mobility in newly hatched chicks, indicating measurable changes in blood biophysics.
• Roda et al. (2011), published in Histology and Histopathology, exposed fertilized chick embryos throughout incubation to pulsed magnetic fields at levels below IEEE limits and found delayed early embryonic development, reduced hatching weight, altered brain biology, and reduced glycosaminoglycan Technical Letter to Hayward City Council Agenda #21 File # RPT 26-064

expression in brain tissue — suggesting disruption of molecules important for normal brain development and organ formation. The authors concluded that pulsed magnetic fields may hinder normal embryonic development and alter normal neural function.
• Fernie and Bird (2001), published in Environmental Research, found that EMF exposure suppressed melatonin, altered immune function, reduced blood proteins, hematocrit, and carotenoid levels, and increased evidence of oxidative stress.
• Fernie et al. (1999), published in Environmental Health Perspectives, found that EMF exposure to American Kestrels altered plasma melatonin levels in adult males, suppressed melatonin in fledglings following long-term parental exposure, advanced molting in males, and could affect migration, metabolism, and development.
• Fernie et al. (2000), published in Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, found that EMF exposure affected reproductive success of kestrels — increasing fertility, egg size, embryonic development, and fledging success, but reducing hatching success.

In addition to power lines, data-center development can create several established threats to birds. Large campuses can replace or fragment habitat and introduce substantial nighttime lighting. Peer-reviewed research has shown that artificial light can attract and disorient migrating birds and substantially increase fatal building collisions, while overhead power lines remain a well-established source of collision and electrocution mortality.

A 2017 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences study found that powerful artificial nighttime lighting attracted and disoriented migrating birds, causing them to cluster, circle, slow their flight, and vocalize more, with an estimated 1.1 million birds affected over seven nights of observation.

7 Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

SVY03A Data Center Oversight Ordinance
Framework Outline
Working title: Hayward Data Center Oversight and Transparency Ordinance Applies to: STACK Infrastructure SVY03A (26062 Eden Landing Rd) and future large-scale data-center facilities
Prepared by: Hayward Residents Against STACKS (Hayward Not Stacks) Date: September 13, 2026 (revised — adds Part 7, Electrical Infrastructure/Grid/Power Quality)
For: Pro bono legal counsel to convert into formal ordinance language; and Hayward City Councilmembers considering authoring the September 15 motion This is a policy framework, not final ordinance text. It identifies the mechanisms, thresholds, and enforcement provisions the ordinance should contain. Formal ordinance language should be drafted by qualified California municipal counsel with attention to CEQA integration, Hayward Municipal Code compatibility, preemption analysis (BAAQMD, State Water Board, CEC, CPUC, USFWS, CDFW), and constitutional review. Passages drawing on the coalition’s own technical notes and marked “fact-check” in earlier drafts have been researched and are flagged for counsel throughout — see the Notes for Counsel at the end of each Part and the consolidated notes in the Sources section. This revision folds in a second coalition technical memo on electrical, grid, and power-quality concerns (new Part 7) and adds several findings to Part 6 on avian/electrical interactions; those additions carry the same fact-check treatment as the rest of this framework.

The Council finds and declares:
• Large-scale data-center facilities present significant, ongoing environmental and infrastructure impacts — including substantial water and energy consumption, backup generator air emissions, noise, and cumulative regional infrastructure demand — that continue for the operational life of each facility. • The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that projects with identified significant impacts adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) as a legally enforceable condition of approval. (Public Resources Code § 21081.6.)
• Effective mitigation depends on public transparency, independent monitoring, and enforceable consequences for non-compliance. Absent these, MMRPs become paper commitments rather than operational safeguards.
• The City has authority under its police power (California Constitution art. XI, § 7) and Government Code § 65858 to adopt reasonable operational standards, reporting requirements, and enforcement mechanisms for permitted uses. • This Ordinance does not seek to reopen, rescind, or challenge any prior CEQA approval or entitlement, including the SVY03A entitlement. It supplements approved MMRP commitments with public transparency, independent verification, and enforcement mechanisms consistent with the City’s police powers. • This Ordinance is consistent with the City’s Climate Action Plan, its Sustainability Goals, and its participation in Ava Community Energy, BAWSCA, and the East Bay Dischargers Authority.

Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

• SVY03A and comparable facilities sit near the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve and the Hayward Regional Shoreline, within the Pacific Flyway, adjacent to habitat relied upon by federally and state-protected avian species. The continuous operation of cooling infrastructure and periodic testing or emergency operation of backup generators at such facilities may generate ambient and low-frequency noise capable of interfering with the nesting, foraging, and breeding behavior of these species — an impact pathway that is separate from, and in addition to, the impacts already addressed in the CEQA record. (See Part 6.)
• Data-center facilities of the scale contemplated here require substantial new electrical infrastructure — dedicated substations, on-site transmission and distribution lines, and large numbers of backup generators — that can affect grid reliability, power quality, and cost allocation for other ratepayers in Hayward and surrounding communities, independent of the facility’s own site-level CEQA review. (See Part 7.)
• Overhead high-voltage lines and switchyard equipment necessary to serve a Covered Facility sited near the Pacific Flyway present a distinct avian-interaction pathway — separate from acoustic impacts — that warrants its own review using established industry design guidance. (See Parts 6 and 7.) • Because SVY03A is one of multiple large data-center and hyperscale-infrastructure projects proposed or under construction in the vicinity of the Pacific Flyway, the cumulative noise, lighting, and habitat effects of these facilities considered together – rather than any single facility’s impacts reviewed in isolation – is a distinct question under CEQA’s cumulative-impacts framework (CEQA Guidelines § 15130).

This framework does not determine that the CEQA record for SVY03A failed to address cumulative impacts; that is a project-record question for counsel to confirm. (See Part 6.9.)
• Covered Facilities store and use hazardous materials on an ongoing basis — including diesel fuel, lubricants, refrigerants, and battery-system chemicals — that warrant routine public disclosure and coordinated emergency-response planning with the Hayward Fire Department, in addition to the Facility's existing obligations to the local Certified Unified Program Agency. (See Part 8A.) Part 2: Scope — Which Facilities Are Covered
The Ordinance applies to any “Covered Data-Center Facility” within the City of Hayward, defined as any facility meeting any one of the following thresholds:
• Gross floor area of 150,000 square feet or more; OR
• Peak permitted electricity demand of 50 megawatts or more; OR • 15 or more backup electrical generators of any fuel type; OR Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

• Total site area of 10 acres or more dedicated to data-center use.

Definition of “data-center facility”
A building, dedicated space within a building, or group of structures used to house networked computer systems for storage, processing, or distribution of data — including associated air-handling equipment, power generators, cooling systems, utility substations, backup batteries, fire suppression, and utility infrastructure. (Adapted from Monterey Park Municipal Code definition, Ordinance No. 2276.)
Application to SVY03A
The STACK Infrastructure SVY03A facility (26062 Eden Landing Rd, approximately 310,000 sq. ft., and 28 backup generators) meets all four thresholds and is expressly a Covered Facility.

Capacity versus operating load: SVY03A's approved backup-generation system has a peak permitted electrical demand of approximately 76.6 MW — the figure against which the 50- megawatt threshold in this Part is measured. This capacity figure is distinct from the facility's anticipated operating load of approximately 67.2 MW, the amount of electricity the facility is expected to draw from the grid under normal, non-backup conditions. The two figures describe different things and shall not be used interchangeably in this Ordinance, in Facility reporting under Part 3.7, or in any staff analysis; any disclosure of electrical demand under this Ordinance shall specify which figure — peak permitted demand, anticipated operating load, or actual metered demand — is being reported.

Retroactive application
All Covered Data-Center Facilities operating in Hayward on the effective date of this Ordinance shall come into compliance with reporting, monitoring, and enforcement provisions within 180 days of the effective date, regardless of the date of underlying entitlement approval.

Rationale for retroactivity
The Ordinance does not modify or rescind prior land-use approvals; it establishes ongoing operational reporting and monitoring obligations under the City’s police power, applicable to all facilities in operation.

Part 3: Quarterly Public Reporting Requirements
Each Covered Facility shall submit a Quarterly MMRP Compliance Report to the City no later than 45 days after the close of each calendar quarter. Reports shall be filed electronically with the designated Enforcement Office (see Part 8) and shall be publicly posted on a dedicated City webpage within 15 days of filing.

Reports shall not be treated as trade secrets. (See Government Code § 6254.7 (public records — pollution reports); see also North Star Data Center Policy Toolkit Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

recommendation that water service applications and conservation plans “should be public records subject to state public records law and should not be treated as trade secrets.”)

3.1 Water Reporting
Each report shall include, for the quarter:
• Total water consumed (gallons), broken out by month
• Water sourced by category: potable municipal (BAWSCA); recycled water (East Bay Dischargers Authority / Delta Diablo); onsite reclaimed; groundwater • Water consumed by end use: server cooling; facility cooling; cooling-tower makeup; sanitary; landscape irrigation; construction (if applicable); other • Any variance from projected water-use figures identified in the approved CEQA MMRP, with explanation
• Assessment of whether operations required use of potable water for cooling during the quarter
Threshold and offset requirement: Any Covered Facility consuming an average of more than 100,000 gallons per day for at least five days in any quarter shall offset at least 50% of quarterly water demand with recycled or conserved water. (Adapted from North Star Data Center Policy Toolkit recommendation.)

File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

• Property-line noise measurements at not fewer than four fixed monitoring points, taken during representative operational periods including at least one period of active backup generator operation
• Measurements shall include continuous, impulse, and low-frequency noise, per ANSI S12.9 or equivalent standard
• Any measured exceedance of applicable noise limits, with duration, magnitude, and mitigation response
• Any resident noise complaints received directly by the facility, with response actions
Applicable noise limits: Not to exceed 55 dBA continuous during 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and 45 dBA from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., measured at any property line adjacent to residential or mixed-use zoning. Ancillary and generator noise included in these limits. (Adapted from Phoenix, AZ, McPherson County, SD, and Marana, AZ thresholds; see North Star Toolkit.)
Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone: A Covered Facility located within the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone defined in Part 6 is subject to the noise limits of this Part 3.3 or the species- protective threshold established under Part 6, whichever is lower, and shall report separately against each.

3.4 MMRP Condition-by-Condition Status
The report shall include a table listing each mitigation measure identified in the approved CEQA MMRP for the facility, and for each measure:
• Measure description (verbatim from MMRP)
• Compliance status for the quarter (in compliance / partial / non-compliance / not yet applicable)
• Supporting documentation reference
• If not in full compliance: cause, mitigation response, and expected resolution date

3.5 Air Quality — Fenceline Monitoring Data (Where Installed) Facilities required under Part 5 to install fenceline air-quality monitoring shall include, for the quarter:
• Daily averages for PM2.5, NOx, CO, SO2, VOCs, and any additional pollutants specified in BAAQMD permit conditions
• Any exceedances of BAAQMD ambient or permit-condition thresholds • Continuous monitoring uptime percentage (target: 95%+) Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework

3.6 Community and Infrastructure Impact Reporting
Each report shall include, annually (Q4 report):
• Total property, sales, and utility-user tax paid to the City of Hayward • Number of onsite full-time and part-time employees; wages by job classification • Community-benefit expenditures, if any, including expenditures under Part 6.6 • Any noticed complaints received from the public, and disposition

3.7 Electrical Infrastructure and Power-Quality Reporting (new; see Part 7) Each report shall include, for the quarter:
• Metered peak and average electrical demand (MW), by month, measured at the point of interconnection — actual metered data, not projected or estimated figures • A current equipment inventory and connected-load schedule for all major electrical equipment (transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, variable-frequency/variable- speed drives, backup generators), certified by a licensed professional engineer • Total harmonic distortion (THD) measurements at the point of common coupling with the PG&E system, benchmarked against IEEE Std 519 limits, where the Facility’s own power-quality monitoring under Part 7.5 is in place • Any new or proposed dedicated transmission line, distribution line, switching station, or substation capacity expansion, and the status of any related CPUC or CEC filing
• A summary of any CPUC tariff, interconnection, or cost-allocation filing or determination under Public Utilities Code large-load tariff provisions (see Part 7.7) affecting the Facility, to the extent such filings are not confidential under CPUC rules • Every figure reported under this subsection shall be labeled to state whether it reflects actual metered demand, peak permitted electrical demand (backup- generation capacity), or projected/anticipated operating load, consistent with the Part 2 distinction between SVY03A's 76.6 MW peak permitted demand and its approximately 67.2 MW anticipated operating load
Note for counsel: This subsection requires the Facility to report information it already generates or is independently obligated to report to PG&E/CPUC; it does not impose a new substantive electrical or interconnection standard on the Facility or on PG&E. See Part 7.9 on the limits of the City’s authority in this area.

Part 4: Financial Penalties, Permit Consequences, and Enforcement Teeth The Ordinance shall establish penalties calibrated to deter non-compliance by hyperscale operators. Nominal fines have been demonstrated ineffective in comparable jurisdictions Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

(Benton County, AR imposes $1,000 fines; Prince William County, VA caps noise fines at $5,000 — both characterized as insufficient by the North Star Data Center Policy Toolkit).

4.0 Legal Basis and Enforcement Mechanism (Civil Penalty, Not Administrative Citation) The penalties in this Part are civil penalties, imposed and collected through civil action under the City’s police power (Cal. Const. art. XI, § 7) and the City’s authority to abate public nuisances — they are not administrative citations issued under Government Code § 53069.4. This distinction is legally load-bearing: where a violation would otherwise be treated as an infraction, § 53069.4 and Government Code §§ 36900–36901 cap administrative-citation fines at $100 (first violation), $200 (second violation within one year), and $500 (each additional violation within one year), and cap ordinary ordinance- violation civil fines at $1,000. An ordinance that labeled the penalties below as “administrative citations” for infraction-level conduct would risk having them reduced to those statutory amounts on appeal, regardless of the dollar figures written into Section 4.1.

Accordingly, this Ordinance: (a) declares a violation of any provision of Parts 3, 5, 6, or 7 to be both a public nuisance and an independent civil violation subject to the civil penalties in Section 4.1, collectible by civil action; (b) directs the City Attorney to pursue civil penalty actions, injunctive relief, and cost recovery in Superior Court for verified exceedances, in addition to — not in lieu of — the administrative permit-consequence track in Section 4.3; and (c) pairs the per-day deterrence penalties in Section 4.1 with the economic-benefit disgorgement remedy in Section 4.1A, so that the two together cannot be dismissed as an ordinary cost of doing business by an operator of any size.

Federal environmental law confirms that penalties at this scale are neither novel nor disproportionate for a facility of this size. Hyperscale data-center construction and operation frequently require permits that are cross-cutting with other federal environmental statutes — including Clean Water Act permits governing construction stormwater and wastewater discharge, and RCRA requirements governing hazardous materials such as diesel fuel and generator waste — and EPA's own inflation-adjusted civil penalty maximums for violations of those permits currently reach approximately $64,618 per day per violation under the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1319(d); 40 C.F.R. Part 19) and approximately $93,058 per day per violation under RCRA (42 U.S.C. § 6928(a); 40 C.F.R.

Part 19), both adjusted annually for inflation. These federal maximums establish that federal law already treats a single day of unpermitted discharge or hazardous-waste noncompliance at this scale as warranting a civil penalty many multiples higher than the escalated per-day amounts in Section 4.1. The tiered structure below does not equate a reporting or access violation with a discharge or hazardous-waste violation, but the federal benchmark demonstrates that even the escalated third-violation rate for verified exceedances ($100,000 per day) falls within, rather than beyond, the range Congress and EPA have already determined proportionate to environmental noncompliance of comparable severity.

Note for counsel: Confirm the enforcement vehicle before this draft is finalized — civil action under the City’s general police power, versus a specialized environmental civil-penalty Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework

ordinance modeled on state statutes such as the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act or Health and Safety Code stationary-source penalty provisions — and confirm that the escalated amounts in Section 4.1 remain proportionate to the gravity of each violation under the Excessive Fines Clause (U.S. Const. amend. VIII; Cal. Const. art. I, § 17). Proportionality is assessed against the seriousness of the violation and the harm it risks, not simply the operator’s ability to pay; the tiered/escalating structure and the disgorgement remedy in 4.1A are designed to support proportionality by tying larger penalties to repeated or continuing violations and to the actual economic benefit of non-compliance, rather than to a flat, harm- independent figure.

4.1 Civil Penalties for Reporting and Compliance Violations • Late or incomplete report: $5,000 per day, per report, until filing is complete and compliant. This amount doubles to $10,000 per day for a second violation of this subsection by the same Facility within a rolling 24-month period, and quadruples to $20,000 per day for a third or subsequent violation within that period. • Report containing false, misleading, or materially incomplete information:
$50,000 per report, in addition to any late-filing penalty, plus mandatory public disclosure of the discrepancy. This amount doubles to $100,000 per report for a second violation within a rolling 24-month period, and quadruples to $200,000 per report for a third or subsequent violation within that period. • Verified exceedance of any CEQA MMRP condition, noise limit, water offset requirement, or generator runtime threshold: $25,000 per exceedance, per day, plus mandatory 30-day cure-plan filing. This per-day amount doubles to $50,000 for a second verified exceedance of the same requirement within a rolling 24-month period, and quadruples to $100,000 for a third or subsequent exceedance within that period. Continuing violations shall be treated as separate offenses for each day of continuation, and once triggered, the escalated (second- or third-violation) rate applies for the full duration of the continuing violation. • Failure to install or maintain required monitoring equipment: $10,000 per day, doubling to $20,000 per day if the failure continues more than 30 days after the City’s notice.
• Refusal to allow third-party monitoring access: $25,000 per day, plus immediate grounds for permit review under Section 4.3, regardless of the three-exceedance threshold otherwise required by that Section.

4.1A Economic Benefit Disgorgement
In addition to, and independent of, the per-day and per-report penalties in Section 4.1, a Covered Facility found to have violated any provision of Parts 3, 5, 6, or 7 shall be liable for disgorgement of the full economic benefit realized from the violation — including any capital or operating cost avoided or deferred by the delay, omission, or non-compliance (for example, the cost of compliant monitoring equipment not installed, water offsets not Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

purchased, or acoustic retrofits not completed), calculated using a recognized cost-of- compliance methodology such as the U.S. EPA’s BEN model or an equivalent approach approved by the City. This disgorgement is a make-whole remedy, separate from the deterrence-oriented penalties in Section 4.1; its purpose is to ensure that delay or non- compliance is never financially advantageous compared to timely compliance, regardless of the operator’s size or resources.

4.1B Annual Inflation Adjustment
All dollar penalty amounts in this Part shall be adjusted annually, effective each July 1, according to the change in the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco-Oakland- Hayward metropolitan area over the prior calendar year, rounded to the nearest $100, so that the deterrent value of these penalties does not erode over time. The Data Center Oversight Office (Part 8) shall publish the adjusted amounts annually.

4.2 Community-Benefit Fund
All civil penalty revenue and disgorged economic benefit collected under this Ordinance, including amounts collected under Sections 4.1 and 4.1A, shall be deposited into a dedicated Hayward Data Center Community Impact Fund, established as a restricted- purpose fund of the City. The Fund shall be used exclusively for:
• Water infrastructure and conservation projects benefiting neighborhoods within a 3-mile radius of any Covered Facility
• Air-quality mitigation and monitoring in adjacent neighborhoods • Noise-mitigation grants for affected residential properties • Independent third-party monitoring costs, if not otherwise reimbursed • Community health assessments related to Covered Facility impacts • Bioacoustic monitoring and habitat-protective acoustic retrofits under Part 6 Governance: Fund expenditures shall be recommended by a five-member Community Advisory Panel (residents of neighborhoods within 3 miles of any Covered Facility) and approved by City Council. The Panel shall be established within 90 days of the Ordinance’s effective date.

4.3 Permit and Certificate-of-Occupancy Consequences
For facilities in Hayward operating under Conditional Use Permits, Development Agreements, or similar entitlements, the Ordinance shall provide:

Formal notice of non-compliance: After any three verified exceedances within a rolling 12-month period, or after any single exceedance that remains uncured after 60 days, the City Manager shall issue a formal Notice of Non-Compliance, publicly post it, and serve it on the facility operator.

Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

Compliance review hearing: Following a Notice of Non-Compliance, the Planning Commission shall hold a noticed public hearing within 90 days to review the operator’s compliance history and consider:
• Additional binding operational conditions
• Modifications to permit conditions
• In cases of chronic non-compliance, referral to City Council for consideration of certificate-of-occupancy revocation, consistent with California law and applicable due process requirements
Water-service consequence: In cases of chronic violation of water-offset or water- reporting requirements, the City may, consistent with BAWSCA and local water-provider procedures, refer the facility for water-service review — following the precedent of the Cheyenne, Wyoming, Board of Public Utilities’ revocation of industrial-discharge privileges for a Meta data center after water contamination. (See North Star Toolkit.) Note for counsel: Any permit-revocation or certificate-of-occupancy provision must be drafted with careful attention to (1) due-process requirements under California and federal law; (2) any vested-rights protection attaching to the SVY03A entitlement; and (3) applicable Hayward Municipal Code procedures. The Ordinance should establish the process; ultimate revocation decisions remain with Council after a full hearing.

4.4 Clawback of Any Granted Tax Abatement or Fee Waiver If any Covered Facility has received or receives a City-granted tax abatement, fee waiver, development-fee reduction, or similar public financial benefit, any verified exceedance under this Ordinance shall trigger a mandatory clawback of the full remaining value of the unearned public financial benefit, plus interest at the legal rate, in addition to — not in lieu of — the civil penalties under Section 4.1 and the disgorgement remedy under Section 4.1A.

Repayment shall be reduced below the full remaining value only where the City Council makes a written finding, at a noticed public hearing, that full clawback would be disproportionate to the violation. (Adapted from North Star Toolkit recommendation on labor-standards clawbacks.)
Part 5: Third-Party Monitoring Requirements

5.1 Fenceline Air-Quality Monitoring
Each Covered Facility with 15 or more backup generators shall install and maintain continuous fenceline air-quality monitoring, meeting the following standards:
• Monitors at not fewer than four fenceline locations, positioned to capture prevailing wind conditions
• Continuous measurement of PM2.5, NOx, CO, SO2, and VOCs Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

• Data made publicly available in near-real-time (24-hour maximum lag) via a public- facing dashboard
• Monitoring equipment, calibration, and data processing conducted by an independent third-party contractor selected from a City-approved list • All costs borne by the Covered Facility as a permit-cost pass-through

5.2 Third-Party Noise Verification
At least once annually, each Covered Facility shall commission independent third-party noise measurements at all fenceline locations, conducted during a period of active generator operation. Results shall be filed with the City and included in the following Quarterly Compliance Report.

5.3 Third-Party Water Audit
At least once annually, each Covered Facility shall commission an independent water-use audit by a licensed civil or environmental engineer, verifying reported consumption against metered data and BAWSCA/Delta Diablo records. Results shall be filed with the City.

5.4 Independent-Contractor List
The City shall maintain a list of pre-qualified independent monitoring contractors for air, noise, and water measurement, and power-quality measurement (see 5.5). Contractors shall be independent of the facility operator (no shared ownership, parent company, or contractual relationship other than the monitoring engagement) within the prior 36 months.

5.5 Independent Power-Quality (Harmonics) Audit (new; see Part 7) Each Covered Facility shall commission an independent power-quality audit, performed by a licensed electrical engineer using a calibrated power-quality/harmonic analyzer (not a general-purpose oscilloscope, which is not rated for this purpose), consisting of:
• A baseline audit completed before the Facility begins operation (or, for an already- operating facility such as SVY03A, as soon as practicable after the Ordinance’s effective date), measuring harmonic distortion and power factor on the local distribution circuit(s) serving the Facility
• An annual follow-up audit thereafter, benchmarked against the baseline and against IEEE Std 519 recommended limits
• Results filed with the City and, to the extent the circuit is shared with residential customers, made available in summary form in the Quarterly Compliance Report Note for counsel: The City cannot compel PG&E to install monitoring equipment on its own distribution system, and cannot set a harmonic- distortion standard that conflicts with CPUC/PG&E tariffs or IEEE practice as applied by the utility. This provision is written to Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

run against the Facility (the customer) and its own interconnection equipment, which is within the City’s permit and reporting authority; coordination with PG&E on shared-circuit data should be voluntary or requested through the CPUC’s existing complaint and data- request channels. See Part 7.9.

Part 6: Sensitive Habitat and Endangered Species Acoustic Protection This Part is drawn from the coalition’s separate technical memo on ambient noise and endangered birds. Several claims in that memo were marked “fact-check this”; the drafting below incorporates the results of that review (see 6.9, Notes for Counsel) and reframes the memo’s advocacy language into ordinance-style provisions. The sample public-comment letter from that memo is retained as Appendix A for resident use and is not itself proposed ordinance text.

6.1 Findings
• SVY03A, and any other Covered Facility sited near the Hayward shoreline, sits adjacent to the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve and the Hayward Regional Shoreline, within the Pacific Flyway migratory corridor. • These areas provide nesting, foraging, and breeding habitat for the Western Snowy Plover (federally threatened), the California Least Tern (federal and state endangered), and the California Ridgway’s Rail (federal and state endangered). • The Hayward shoreline is flat and largely without natural topographic buffering, such that low-frequency noise and vibration from industrial cooling and generator infrastructure can travel substantially farther toward the Reserve than it would in a topographically shielded setting.
• The applicable CEQA Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for SVY03A was designed to ensure project-level administrative compliance; it was not designed as, and does not purport to be, a species-specific bioacoustic standard calibrated to prevent masking of low-frequency mating and territorial calls used by these species.
• Compliance with an approved CEQA Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) or MMRP does not, standing alone, satisfy or provide immunity from independent obligations under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), the California Endangered Species Act (CESA), or other applicable wildlife-protection law. CEQA and these statutes are separate legal regimes administered by separate agencies for separate purposes. (See 6.9.)
• The City retains discretionary authority over remaining permit approvals for Covered Facilities — including grading, building, encroachment, utility-connection, and occupancy approvals — and can use that authority to reduce both ecological Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework

harm and the City’s own exposure to third-party claims arising from harm to protected species.
• The coalition’s technical memo reports that active nesting grounds at Eden Landing begin approximately 0.5 to 1.5 miles west of the SVY03A powerline corridor. This framework treats that figure as an input for the Qualified Bioacoustic and Avian Interaction Study under 6.4, not as an adopted or independently verified distance; counsel and the Data Center Oversight Office should confirm it against CDFW/USFWS habitat mapping.
• Published USFWS technical guidance and peer-reviewed literature indicate that construction and ambient noise exceeding background levels by as little as approximately 7 to 34 dBA can measurably affect breeding shorebirds, which is the basis for standard seasonal work-restriction windows (typically February through August) near known nesting habitat. Because SVY03A’s cooling and backup-power infrastructure may operate continuously rather than on a seasonal construction schedule, a seasonal restriction alone may not address the Facility’s noise profile; this is a specific question for the Qualified Bioacoustic and Avian Interaction Study to resolve. (See 6.4.)
• Overhead high-voltage lines, switchyards, and substation equipment associated with a Covered Facility generate corona discharge, a partial electrical breakdown of the surrounding air that emits faint light, including in the ultraviolet range. Because many avian species (including species present at Eden Landing) have ultraviolet- sensitive, tetrachromatic vision, they may perceive this discharge as intermittent flashing rather than as a static structure, a phenomenon separately documented in the avian-biology literature from the noise and vibration impacts addressed elsewhere in this Part. The electric-utility and wildlife-agency communities have an established, widely adopted design standard for reducing avian collision and disturbance risk from overhead lines — the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APLIC) guidelines — which this framework incorporates by reference in 6.3A rather than proposing a new, untested standard.

6.2 Definitions
“Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone”: Any parcel occupied in whole or part by a Covered Facility that lies within three miles of the mapped boundary of the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve, the Hayward Regional Shoreline, or other habitat area designated by CDFW or USFWS as critical or occupied habitat for a state- or federally listed avian species, as such boundaries are mapped by CDFW/USFWS and confirmed by the Data Center Oversight Office (Part 8) within 60 days of the Ordinance’s effective date. “Qualified Bioacoustic and Avian Interaction Study”: A study performed by an independent, City-approved bioacoustic or wildlife-acoustics specialist, with an avian- interaction specialist as needed, in consultation with USFWS and CDFW, that (a) measures ambient and facility-attributable noise — including low-frequency and infrasound Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

components — at representative nesting, foraging, and breeding locations within the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone; (b) recommends a species-protective noise threshold designed to avoid masking the mating, territorial, and alarm calls of the species identified in 6.1, and evaluates whether a seasonal work-restriction window is sufficient given the Facility’s continuous operating profile (see 6.1); and (c) evaluates visual and collision risk to avian species from overhead electrical infrastructure serving the Facility, including corona-discharge effects, against the APLIC standard defined below. “APLIC Standard”: The most current avian-safe design and retrofit guidance published by the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APLIC) for reducing avian collision and electrocution risk and visual disturbance from overhead electrical lines and associated structures.

6.3 Enhanced Acoustic Performance Standard
A Covered Facility located within the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone shall meet the more protective of: (a) the generally applicable noise limits in Part 3.3; or (b) the species- protective threshold established by the Qualified Bioacoustic and Avian Interaction Study required under 6.4, once adopted by the City. Pending completion of that study, the Part 3.3 limits apply as an interim floor, and the facility shall employ Best Available Acoustic Control Technology (“BAACT”) — the most effective acoustic attenuation technology that is technically feasible and commercially available for the equipment in question — for all cooling, generator, and mechanical infrastructure within the Buffer Zone.

Drafting note: the coalition’s original memo used the phrase “hospital-level acoustic mitigation” to describe the intended stringency. That phrase is not a defined engineering or legal standard and, standing alone, would be difficult to enforce. This draft preserves the coalition’s intent — the strictest feasible mitigation — through the defined BAACT standard tied to a study-derived numeric threshold, and keeps “hospital-level” as descriptive, non- operative language in the findings and in Appendix A.

6.3A Avian-Safe Electrical Infrastructure Standard (new) Any new or materially modified overhead transmission or distribution line, switchyard, or substation constructed to serve a Covered Facility within the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone shall incorporate the APLIC Standard, including, where technically feasible: insulated or covered conductors on spans crossing the Buffer Zone; bird flight diverters on overhead shield wires or conductors within or adjacent to mapped flyway habitat; and configuration of pole and tower hardware to reduce electrocution risk to large-bodied avian species. The Qualified Bioacoustic and Avian Interaction Study (6.4) shall include a corona/visual- disturbance assessment and shall recommend any additional APLIC-consistent retrofits warranted for SVY03A’s existing overhead infrastructure.

Note for counsel: as with the acoustic standard in 6.3, this provision addresses infrastructure the operator constructs to interconnect its own facility and any City-issued encroachment or easement approvals for that infrastructure. It is not directed at PG&E’s transmission or Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

distribution system generally, which is subject to the CPUC’s General Order 95 (overhead line construction) and General Order 131-D (siting), not the City’s police power. See Part 7.9.

6.4 Independent Bioacoustic Monitoring and Threshold-Setting Study • Any existing Covered Facility within the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone as of the effective date (including SVY03A) shall fund a Qualified Bioacoustic and Avian Interaction Study, commissioned by the City through the Data Center Oversight Office, to be completed within 180 days of the effective date. • Any new Covered Facility proposed within the Buffer Zone after the effective date shall fund a Qualified Bioacoustic and Avian Interaction Study prior to issuance of any grading or building permit.
• Based on the study’s findings, the Data Center Oversight Office shall adopt a species- protective noise threshold and require Best Available Acoustic Control Technology retrofits sufficient to meet it, on a schedule not to exceed 12 months from the study’s completion, subject to Planning Commission review of any facility’s feasibility objections.
• Study results, the adopted threshold, and the retrofit schedule shall be posted publicly and included in the facility’s next Quarterly Compliance Report.

6.5 Wildlife-Clearance Condition on Remaining Discretionary Permits For any new Covered Facility (or material modification to an existing one requiring discretionary City approval) sited within the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone, the City shall condition final building permit, utility-connection, and certificate-of-occupancy approval on the applicant providing written confirmation from USFWS and/or CDFW that no unauthorized take is anticipated, or evidence of an applicable incidental-take authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10 Habitat Conservation Plan/incidental take permit, or a CESA Section 2081 incidental take permit) covering anticipated impacts.

Note for counsel: SVY03A already holds its entitlement and certificate of occupancy, so this condition cannot be applied to it retroactively without a separate, permit-specific legal hook (see 6.9 and Part 12’s vested-rights discussion). For SVY03A, the more viable path is voluntary: the Community-Benefit earmark in 6.6 and the indemnification term in 6.7, offered or required in connection with any City approval STACK still needs (e.g., ongoing encroachment, grading, or future modification permits), rather than a new occupancy condition.

6.6 Public Benefits Package Earmark
The City should request that STACK Infrastructure dedicate a defined portion of its existing Public Benefits Package (reported by the coalition as approximately $2,000,000) specifically to acoustic-attenuation retrofits and bioacoustic monitoring benefiting the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve and Hayward Regional Shoreline. This framework does not fix a specific percentage or dollar figure; Council and the City Attorney should set that Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

figure in the directive motion or in subsequent negotiation, informed by the Qualified Bioacoustic Study’s retrofit cost estimate. Any future Covered Facility within the Buffer Zone should be subject to an equivalent earmark as a condition of its own community- benefit commitments.

6.7 Indemnification
All remaining discretionary agreements between the City and a Covered Facility operator within the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone — including encroachment, grading, and building agreements, and any amendment to existing agreements — shall include indemnification language obligating the operator to defend and indemnify the City against third-party claims, including claims under the ESA or CESA, arising from the operator’s facility or operations.

Due-diligence note for counsel: Before relying on 6.7 as the City’s primary risk-transfer mechanism, counsel should confirm (a) whether STACK’s existing development agreement or entitlement conditions already contain an indemnification provision covering ESA/CESA-type third-party claims, and, if so, its scope; and (b) that any such provision is understood, internally and in public communication, for what it is and is not. A civil indemnification clause can require the operator to pay the City’s legal defense costs and civil damages; it cannot immunize an individual City official from personal criminal liability for knowingly or willfully authorizing an action that violates state wildlife law (see Fish & Game Code §§ 2080, 12000 et seq.). That exposure, to the extent it exists at all, runs to individuals who knowingly authorize an unlawful take, not to the City as an institution, and is a separate question from the institutional risk-transfer addressed by this section.

6.8 Independent Biological Monitoring
Each Covered Facility within the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone shall fund a third-party, City-vetted biological monitor — independent of the operator on the same terms as Part

5.4 — to observe construction and, where retrofits are occurring, retrofit-period noise, vibration, and lighting impacts near shoreline habitat, and to report findings to the Data Center Oversight Office.

6.9 Relationship to Federal and State Wildlife Law; Notes for Counsel Nothing in this Part authorizes, permits, or immunizes any take of a listed species, and nothing in this Part shall be construed as an incidental take permit or authorization under the ESA or CESA. Independent compliance with the ESA, CESA, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) remains the responsibility of the facility operator and the federal and state agencies with jurisdiction over those statutes. This Ordinance’s role is limited to (a) generating public information the City and residents can use to assess acoustic impacts on habitat, and (b) using the City’s own remaining permit and contract leverage to reduce impacts and the City’s litigation exposure.

The following points from the coalition’s original technical memo were flagged for fact- checking. Research for this draft found:

Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

• MBTA and incidental take: As of an April 11, 2025 U.S. Department of the Interior Solicitor’s Opinion (restoring Opinion M-37050 and rescinding M-37065), the federal government’s position is that the MBTA does not prohibit incidental (i.e., non-purposeful) take — the interpretation that would most directly support an MBTA-based claim against noise-related harm to these birds. This is an executive- branch legal position, not a statutory change, and has shifted before and could shift again (litigation in the Southern District of New York currently limits its reach there); counsel should treat an MBTA argument as currently weak at the federal enforcement level and should not lead with it.
• ESA Section 9 and agency liability: Federal case law recognizes that a permitting or discretionary government agency can face liability under ESA Section 9(g) for authorizing third-party activity that causes a take, particularly where the agency retains discretionary (not merely ministerial) authority, and that “harm” under Section 9 includes significant habitat modification that actually kills or injures wildlife by impairing essential behavioral patterns such as breeding. This is a substantially stronger legal hook than the MBTA point above, and supports the City using its remaining discretionary permit levers as described in 6.5 and 6.7. Counsel should confirm how this applies given the City’s specific remaining approvals over SVY03A and any future Covered Facility.
• CEQA MND/MMRP and ESA/CESA immunity: It is a well-established general principle of California environmental law that CEQA compliance (including an MND or MMRP) is independent of, and does not substitute for, compliance with the federal ESA, CESA, or MBTA — these are separate statutory schemes administered by separate agencies. Counsel should confirm the project-specific history for SVY03A: whether any federal nexus triggered ESA Section 7 consultation, whether a Section 10 HCP/incidental take permit or CESA Section 2081 permit was obtained or determined unnecessary, and which agency (City, CEC, or other) served as CEQA lead, since the coalition’s memo’s reference to a California Energy Commission (CEC) MND review should be verified against the actual project record before it is repeated to Council.
• Cumulative impacts (new): The coalition’s memo asks whether the CEC, by reviewing SVY03A in isolation, ignored the cumulative acoustic and habitat effect of multiple data-center facilities being built near the Flyway concurrently. Cumulative- impacts analysis is a recognized CEQA requirement (CEQA Guidelines § 15130), separate from the ESA/CESA/MBTA points above, and is evaluated based on the administrative record for the specific approval at issue. This framework does not conclude that the record was deficient; counsel should review the certified CEQA document for SVY03A and any concurrently reviewed nearby projects to determine whether a cumulative-impacts analysis was performed and whether it addressed noise and habitat effects on the species in 6.1. If a party seeks to challenge the sufficiency of that analysis, the applicable vehicle is a timely CEQA action, not this Ordinance, which (per Part 12) does not reopen the SVY03A entitlement.

• SB 886 / AB 2383 / SB 887 (new; see also Part 7.9): As of this revision (September 2026), SB 886 and AB 2383 — the primary state-level “large load” ratepayer-protection package for data centers, together with the related SB 887 — passed both houses of the Legislature on August 31, 2026, and are pending the Governor’s signature (deadline end of September 2026). They are not yet enacted law. Any reference to these bills in Council materials should be phrased as pending legislation until signature is confirmed, and Council and staff should monitor for the Governor’s action before relying on their substantive terms.

Part 7: Electrical Infrastructure, Grid Reliability, and Power Quality Protection New Part. This Part is drawn from a second coalition technical memo on electrical, grid, and power-quality concerns. As with Part 6, the drafting below reframes the memo’s advocacy points into ordinance-style provisions, corrects several points against current law and legislative status, and flags the significant preemption limits on local regulation of the electric utility itself (see 7.9).

7.1 Findings
• SVY03A requires new PG&E grid infrastructure — a dedicated switching station, an on-site project substation, on-site transmission facilities, and 28 backup generators — sized to an approved backup-generation capacity (peak permitted electrical demand) of approximately 76.6 MW, comparable to the electricity use of roughly 60,000 to 76,000 homes. That capacity figure is distinct from the facility's anticipated operating load of approximately 67.2 MW under normal, non-backup conditions (see Part 2), and this level of demand and infrastructure is a defining characteristic of a Covered Facility under Part 2.
• Large, continuous data-center electrical loads can affect grid power quality on the circuits and substations that serve them, and, where those circuits are shared with or upstream of residential and other commercial customers, cost allocation for grid upgrades, maintenance, and wildfire-mitigation obligations is a matter of ongoing public concern in Hayward and the surrounding region.
• Electronic equipment associated with data-center cooling and power conversion — including variable-frequency and variable-speed drives, rectifiers, and switching power supplies — operates as a “non-linear load” that can inject harmonic distortion onto the circuits it shares with other customers if not properly filtered or corrected, a well-documented power-quality phenomenon addressed by industry standard IEEE Std 519.
• Substations and high-voltage transmission and distribution lines generate extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields (EMF). California’s EMF policy for utility facilities is set at the state level (CPUC General Order 131-D); this framework does not propose a local EMF exposure standard, but does propose public disclosure of available EMF measurement data as a transparency measure (see 7.6).

Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

• Residents in the vicinity of a Covered Facility have raised concerns about the resilience of older residential electrical panels (including legacy Zinsco and Federal Pacific Electric panels, which are known in the electrical trade to carry latent breaker-tripping defects wholly independent of any data-center-related grid activity) to grid voltage fluctuations from any source. This framework addresses that concern through a voluntary, City-funded outreach and mitigation-assistance program (7.8), not through a mandate on PG&E or on the Facility to remediate privately owned electrical panels the City does not have jurisdiction to regulate. • The City’s authority in this area is narrower than in Parts 3 through 6: the City can require the Facility, as its own permittee and as a retail electric customer, to disclose information and meet conditions attached to the City’s own permits and agreements; the City cannot set engineering, reliability, EMF, or rate standards for PG&E’s utility system, which is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the CPUC and, for generation/transmission siting, the CEC. (See 7.9.)

7.2 Definitions
“Point of Common Coupling” (PCC): The point on the electrical system, typically at or near the Facility’s meter or main interconnection, where the Facility’s equipment connects to and can electrically affect the PG&E distribution or transmission system. “Total Harmonic Distortion” (THD): A standard measure of waveform distortion caused by non-linear loads, expressed as a percentage, benchmarked in this framework against IEEE Std 519 recommended limits for the relevant voltage class and PCC. “Non-Linear Load”: Electrical equipment — including variable-frequency drives, variable- speed drives, rectifiers, and switch-mode power supplies — that draws current in a non- sinusoidal pattern and can inject harmonic distortion onto the circuit it shares with other customers.

7.3 Exact Electrical Load and Equipment Disclosure
As a condition of any building, grading, or electrical permit, and on an ongoing basis in the Quarterly Compliance Report (Part 3.7), a Covered Facility shall provide a professional- engineer-certified, equipment-level inventory of connected and demand electrical load (transformers, UPS systems, cooling equipment, non-linear loads, and backup generators), stated as actual engineered figures rather than aggregate estimates or ranges. This disclosure obligation runs to the City for permitting and reporting purposes; it does not substitute for, and is separate from, whatever load data PG&E and the CPUC separately require for interconnection and tariff purposes.

7.4 Discretionary Review of Additional Electrical Infrastructure Any dedicated powerline, transmission facility, switching station, or substation capacity expansion serving a Covered Facility that is not already reflected in the Facility’s existing Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

approved entitlement and interconnection agreement shall be subject to a new discretionary City permit (e.g., encroachment, grading, or conditional use, as applicable) before construction, rather than proceeding as a ministerial matter. This gives the City an opportunity to apply the conditions in this Ordinance (including 6.3A’s avian-safe design standard, where applicable) to any new electrical infrastructure, but does not — and cannot — bar PG&E or the CEC from approving a new line under their own respective siting authority. (See 7.9.)

7.5 Power-Quality (Harmonic Distortion) Monitoring and Mitigation A Covered Facility shall install and maintain power-quality monitoring equipment at its own point of common coupling, consistent with the independent audit requirement in Part

5.5, and shall install active harmonic filtering, power-factor correction, or equivalent mitigation if its own PCC measurements exceed IEEE Std 519 recommended THD limits for its voltage class and PCC. Monitoring and mitigation costs are borne by the Facility.

7.6 EMF Disclosure
A Covered Facility shall include, in its Quarterly Compliance Report, any EMF measurement data it or PG&E has generated for its substation and on-site transmission facilities, for public informational purposes. This subsection does not establish a City EMF exposure limit and does not purport to alter or supplement CPUC General Order 131-D.

7.7 Ratepayer and Cost-Allocation Transparency
A Covered Facility shall report to the City, as part of its Quarterly Compliance Report, the status of any CPUC large-load tariff, interconnection cost-allocation, or demand- response/interruptible-load proceeding applicable to the Facility under Public Utilities Code provisions enacted pursuant to SB 886/AB 2383 (once and if enacted – see 7.9) or any successor large-load tariff framework, to the extent such information is not confidential under CPUC rules. This is a reporting obligation only; the substantive cost- allocation rules themselves are set by the CPUC, not the City.

7.8 Grid-Resilience Community Outreach Program
The Community Impact Fund (Part 4.2) may be used to fund a voluntary, opt-in outreach and cost-assistance program to help Hayward residents — particularly those with pre- 1990s electrical panels, including legacy Zinsco and Federal Pacific Electric panels known to the trade to carry latent defects — learn about and access surge-protection devices (SPDs) for their homes. Participation is voluntary, the program is informational and financial-assistance in nature, and it does not impose any obligation on PG&E, on individual homeowners, or on the Facility with respect to privately owned electrical panels or wiring.

7.9 Relationship to CPUC/CEC Jurisdiction; Notes for Counsel Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

Nothing in this Part regulates PG&E’s utility system, sets a utility engineering, reliability, EMF, or rate standard, or purports to displace the CPUC’s exclusive jurisdiction over electric utility service, rates, and facilities (Cal. Const. art. XII; Pub. Util. Code §§ 701, 761) or the CEC’s jurisdiction over thermal generation and certain transmission siting. This Part is directed at the Covered Facility, as the City’s permittee and as PG&E’s retail customer, and at the City’s own remaining permit and contract leverage over that customer — the same structural approach used in Part 6 for wildlife issues.

The following points from the coalition’s electrical/grid memo were reviewed for this draft:
• “Oscilloscope” monitoring: The original memo proposed connecting an oscilloscope to grid branches to monitor harmonics. Standard oscilloscopes are not rated or configured for this purpose; the appropriate instrument is a calibrated power-quality or harmonic analyzer, and the appropriate technical benchmark is IEEE Std 519. This framework’s monitoring provisions (5.5, 7.5) are written accordingly.
• “Flat denial” of additional powerlines: The memo asked that the Ordinance “flat out deny” STACK any additional powerlines. The City cannot lawfully deny a powerline that PG&E or the CEC has authority to site and approve; the City’s own tool is discretionary review of its own remaining permits touching that infrastructure (7.4), which is what this framework proposes instead. • Eaton Fire reference: The memo cited the January 2025 Eaton Fire (Pasadena/Altadena) as an example of how grid fluctuations can cause catastrophic harm, and referenced reports about smart-meter vulnerability during that event.

The cause of the Eaton Fire remains the subject of ongoing investigation and litigation as of this writing and has not been finally and authoritatively determined; it is not attributed to any data-center facility, and this framework cites it only as general background on why grid-fluctuation risk is taken seriously as a policy matter, not as a finding about SVY03A or any Covered Facility. • SB 886 / AB 2383 / SB 887 status: As of this revision, these bills have passed the Legislature (August 31, 2026) and are pending the Governor’s signature; they are not yet law. The memo’s references to them as already “newly passed” regulation should be corrected to “pending” in any public-facing materials until the Governor acts. If signed, SB 886/AB 2383 would direct the CPUC to establish a dedicated large-load tariff structure allocating generation, transmission, and a “reasonable share” of wildfire-mitigation and other distribution-level costs to qualifying large data centers — which, if enacted, would operate at the CPUC level and would not require or permit a parallel local cost- allocation standard in this Ordinance. SB 887 would add CEQA review and local-voice requirements for qualifying data-center projects seeking streamlining, which may be relevant to future Covered Facilities’ entitlement process but does not apply retroactively to SVY03A’s existing entitlement. Counsel should re-verify enactment status before this Ordinance is finalized.

Part 8: Designated Enforcement Office
The Ordinance shall establish a Data Center Oversight Office within the City’s Environmental Services Division, or the Community Development Department, or such other City department as the City Manager designates. The Office shall:
• Receive, review, and publicly post all Quarterly Compliance Reports • Investigate any resident complaints regarding Covered Facilities • Coordinate with BAAQMD, BAWSCA, Delta Diablo, East Bay Dischargers Authority, Ava Community Energy, PG&E, the CPUC, the CEC, USFWS, CDFW, and other regional and wildlife agencies with concurrent jurisdiction
• Recommend administrative penalties under Part 4
• Commission and oversee the Qualified Bioacoustic and Avian Interaction Study and threshold adoption under Part 6.4
• Track the electrical infrastructure, power-quality, and ratepayer-transparency reporting required under Part 7, and refer matters outside the City’s jurisdiction to the CPUC or CEC as appropriate
• Coordinate with the Hayward Fire Department and the local Certified Unified Program Agency on the hazardous-materials inventory and emergency-response coordination requirements under Part 8A
• Conduct routine and complaint-driven inspections
• Prepare an Annual Data Center Oversight Report to City Council (see Part 9) The Office shall be adequately resourced; funding may be drawn in part from permit-cost passthroughs and administrative fees paid by Covered Facilities.

Part 8A: Hazardous Materials Inventory and Emergency-Response Coordination New Part, drawn from Section 3.8 of the coalition's September 15, 2026 Technical Letter to the Hayward City Council. As with Parts 6 and 7, the drafting below reframes the Technical Letter's recommendation into ordinance-style provisions and flags the scope of review needed before adoption (see 8A.5).
8A.1 Findings
• Covered Facilities store and use hazardous materials on an ongoing basis — including diesel fuel for backup generators, lubricants, refrigerants, and battery- system chemicals — in quantities that warrant routine public disclosure and coordinated emergency-response planning with the Hayward Fire Department, in addition to the Facility's existing obligations to the local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) under the Health and Safety Code.

Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework
File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

8A.2 Hazardous-Materials Inventory Reporting
Each Covered Facility shall file, and fund, an annual, publicly available inventory of hazardous materials stored or used on site, including diesel fuel, lubricants, refrigerants, and battery-system chemicals. The inventory shall be filed with the City and with the local CUPA, and updated whenever the inventory changes materially. This requirement is in addition to, and does not substitute for, any hazardous-materials business plan or inventory the Facility is independently required to file with the CUPA. 8A.3 Emergency-Response Coordination
Each Covered Facility shall fund, on an ongoing basis, coordination with the Hayward Fire Department and other local emergency-response agencies, including:
• Facility-specific pre-incident plans, prepared in coordination with the Fire Department and updated on a schedule the Fire Department specifies; • On-site emergency contact protocols, maintained current and provided to the Fire Department; and
• Any specialized training or equipment the Fire Department or other responding agency identifies as reasonably necessary to respond to an incident at the Facility. 8A.4 Scope Limitation
Monitoring and reporting obligations under this Part shall be technically supportable, clearly defined, and directly related to the Facility's documented on-site operations and materials, rather than open-ended.

Note for counsel: This Part should be reviewed by the City Attorney's office and by the Hayward Fire Department before adoption to confirm the appropriate scope of the inventory and coordination requirements, their relationship to the Facility's existing CUPA obligations, and the legal basis for requiring the Facility to fund Fire Department pre- incident planning and equipment above and beyond existing fire-code and CUPA requirements.

Part 9: Annual Reporting to Council
By March 31 of each year, the Data Center Oversight Office shall submit to City Council a public Annual Data Center Oversight Report covering the prior calendar year. The Report shall include:
• Summary of compliance status for each Covered Facility • Summary of all administrative penalties imposed
• Community Impact Fund balance and expenditure summary, including Part 6.6 earmark expenditures

• Aggregate community complaint data
• Status of the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone acoustic threshold and retrofit schedule under Part 6.4, including any avian-safe infrastructure retrofits under 6.3A • Summary of electrical load, power-quality audit results, and any new-infrastructure discretionary reviews under Part 7
• Recommendations for Ordinance amendment or refinement • Any coordination issues with BAAQMD, BAWSCA, CPUC, CEC, USFWS, CDFW, or other regional agencies
• Status of hazardous-materials inventory filings and Fire Department emergency- response coordination under Part 8A
Council shall consider the Annual Report at a regular public meeting, with opportunity for public comment.

Part 10: Community Complaint Process
The Ordinance shall establish a public complaint intake system, accessible via web form, phone, email, and in-person at City Hall. Complaints shall:
• Be logged with timestamp and reference number
• Trigger acknowledgment to the complainant within 5 business days • Be investigated by the Data Center Oversight Office within 30 days • Result in a written response to the complainant with findings and any enforcement action taken
Complaint logs shall be publicly posted quarterly, with personally identifying information redacted.

Part 11: Coordination and Non-Preemption
Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed to preempt, replace, or diminish:
• BAAQMD’s authority over air-quality permits and stationary-source regulation • BAWSCA’s authority over regional potable water allocation • The California Energy Commission’s authority over generator siting and thermal- plant licensing
• The California Public Utilities Commission’s exclusive jurisdiction over PG&E’s electric utility service, rates, interconnection, engineering standards, and EMF policy (Part 7)

File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

• State Water Board authority over water quality
• USFWS and CDFW’s respective authority under the ESA, CESA, and MBTA • The local Certified Unified Program Agency's authority over hazardous-materials business plans and inventories, or the Hayward Fire Department's authority over fire and life-safety code enforcement
• Any applicable federal law
The City shall coordinate enforcement activities with these agencies and shall notify them of any findings under this Ordinance that may implicate their respective jurisdictions.

Part 12: Legal Considerations and Vested Rights Protection Explicit non-rescission clause: Nothing in this Ordinance rescinds, modifies, or challenges any prior land-use approval, Conditional Use Permit, Development Agreement, or CEQA certification.

Consistency with vested rights: This Ordinance imposes ongoing operational reporting, monitoring, and transparency obligations, and enforcement of already-adopted MMRP conditions. It does not impose new substantive land-use restrictions on entitled facilities.

No take authorization: Nothing in this Ordinance authorizes, permits, or immunizes take of any species protected under the ESA, CESA, or MBTA. See Part 6.9.

No utility rate- or engineering-standard-setting: Nothing in this Ordinance sets an electric utility engineering, reliability, EMF, or rate standard, or otherwise displaces CPUC or CEC jurisdiction. See Part 7.9.

Severability: If any provision of this Ordinance is held invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.

CEQA compliance: The Ordinance itself is not a “project” under CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(2) because it establishes government administrative and reporting procedures without effect on the physical environment. (See analogous finding, Monterey Park Ordinance No. 2278, Section 14.) Counsel should confirm this analysis extends to the Part 6 bioacoustic study and threshold-adoption process, which is procedural but should be reviewed for any physical-change implications.

Part 13: Effective Date and Implementation
• Ordinance takes effect 30 days after adoption.
• Existing Covered Facilities shall submit their first Quarterly Compliance Report for the first full calendar quarter beginning at least 90 days after the effective date. • The Data Center Oversight Office shall be established within 60 days of the effective date.

Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A

• The Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone shall be mapped, and the Community Advisory Panel established, within 90 days of the effective date. • The independent-contractor list shall be published within 90 days of the effective date.
• The Qualified Bioacoustic and Avian Interaction Study for any existing Covered Facility within the Buffer Zone shall be completed within 180 days of the effective date (Part 6.4).
• The baseline independent power-quality audit under Part 5.5 shall be completed within 180 days of the effective date for any already-operating Covered Facility.

Part 14: Amendment and Review
The City Council shall review the Ordinance not less than every three years, based on the Annual Data Center Oversight Reports and public comment, and shall consider amendments as circumstances warrant.

The September 15 Motion — What Council Is Being Asked to Adopt Council is not being asked to adopt this framework as ordinance text on September 15.

Council is being asked to adopt a directive motion — namely:
“The City Council hereby directs staff and the City Attorney to prepare, within 90 days of this motion, a proposed Data Center Oversight and Transparency Ordinance covering data-center facilities of significant scale in the City of Hayward. The ordinance shall include, at minimum: quarterly public reporting of water use by source, backup-generator runtime, and noise measurements at property lines; third- party fenceline air-quality monitoring for facilities with 15 or more backup generators; enhanced acoustic protection standards and independent bioacoustic monitoring for any Covered Facility located within the Sensitive Habitat Buffer Zone near the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve and Hayward Regional Shoreline, including avian-safe design standards for associated overhead electrical infrastructure; certified electrical-load disclosure and independent power-quality (harmonic distortion) monitoring for Covered Facilities; financial penalties for verified exceedances; a designated enforcement office within a City department; and a community-benefit fund receiving penalty revenue for use in affected neighborhoods. Staff shall return with a draft ordinance and implementation plan for Council consideration no later than 90 days from the date of this motion.” This directive motion is the actual ask on September 15. The framework outline above is the working substance that staff and the City Attorney will use to prepare the draft.

• SB 887 (Padilla), 2025–26 Regular Session — companion bill adding CEQA review and local-voice requirements for data centers seeking permitting incentives; same enactment status as SB 886/AB 2383 (Part 7.9).

Notes for Pro Bono Counsel
• Preemption analysis is the highest-priority legal question. BAAQMD air-permit authority (Cal. Health & Safety Code Div. 26) and State Water Board water-quality authority may preempt certain reporting or enforcement provisions. The Ordinance is drafted to avoid preemption by requiring reporting of BAAQMD/BAWSCA compliance rather than establishing parallel substantive standards, but this should be reviewed carefully. The same approach is used for Part 6’s wildlife provisions relative to USFWS/CDFW authority.
• Vested rights and the SVY03A entitlement: SVY03A holds an existing CEQA- approved entitlement. The Ordinance is deliberately drafted to add ongoing operational transparency and monitoring obligations under the police power, not to alter substantive land-use rights. Counsel should confirm that this framing survives vested-rights and takings analysis, including for the Part 6 acoustic and indemnification provisions.
• The retroactivity provision (Part 2) is the most legally sensitive element.

Alternative: apply prospectively only, and rely on future applications to bring facilities into compliance. Trade-off: this leaves SVY03A largely uncovered until future modifications trigger permit reopening. The retroactivity approach applies police-power reporting obligations to existing facilities, which is well-established in California (e.g., stormwater permits, building-code updates), but should be pressure-tested.
• The community-benefit fund is drafted as a City-restricted fund. Alternative structures include a nonprofit oversight entity or a joint-powers arrangement with adjacent jurisdictions.
• CEQA § 21081.6 MMRP language may support anchoring this Ordinance directly in existing MMRP enforcement statutes rather than as a novel police-power exercise.

Counsel should consider which framing is stronger.
• Part 6 (wildlife/acoustic): lead with ESA Section 9 and CESA, not the MBTA — see

6.9 for the current, unsettled federal MBTA position. Confirm the SVY03A project Hayward Data Center Ordinance Framework

record on federal nexus, ESA Section 7 consultation, and which agency (City vs. CEC) served as CEQA lead before repeating the coalition memo’s characterization of the CEC’s review to Council.
• Part 7 (electrical/grid) is, if anything, a sharper preemption question than Part 6:

CPUC jurisdiction over electric utility rates, service, and facilities is exclusive and well-established (see 7.9), and several of the coalition’s electrical-memo asks — an outright ban on new powerlines, City-mandated harmonic limits on PG&E’s system, a City-set EMF standard — would very likely be preempted if directed at PG&E rather than at the Facility as the City’s own permittee/customer. This framework is drafted to run only against the Facility and the City’s own permits and reporting relationship with it; counsel should treat any expansion of Part 7 toward regulating PG&E directly as high-risk. Confirm enactment status of SB 886/AB 2383/SB 887 before Council relies on them, and re-check after the Governor acts (deadline end of September 2026).
• Estimated drafting time: 15–25 hours to convert this framework into ordinance- ready text, including preemption review, section-numbering integration with the Hayward Municipal Code, and boilerplate; add approximately 3–5 hours for Part 6 given the additional wildlife-law research, and approximately 3–5 hours for Part 7 given the CPUC/CEC preemption analysis and need to track SB 886/AB 2383/SB 887’s enactment status. Additional time for review by BAAQMD-experienced, ESA/CESA-experienced, and CPUC-experienced counsel would strengthen the record.

Hayward Residents Against SVY03A Page 1

The Ordinance in Shorthand
One page. What it says. What it does. Nothing else.

What the ordinance is called: Hayward Data Center Oversight and Transparency Ordinance What it applies to
Any data-center facility in Hayward meeting any one of:
● 150,000+ sq ft
● 50+ MW peak electricity demand
● 15+ backup generators
● 10+ acres of site area
SVY03A meets all four — as approved, it's roughly 310,000 sq ft, 76.6 MW peak demand, and 28 backup generators. All future comparable facilities are also covered.

Note: the 76.6 MW is SVY03A's peak permitted electrical demand (its backup -generation capacity) — the figure the 50 MW threshold is measured against. That's distinct from its anticipated operating load of approximately 67.2 MW under normal, non-backup conditions. The two are not interchangeable, and any report under this ordinance has to say which one it's using.

What it does NOT do
● Does not reopen the SVY03A CEQA record
● Does not rescind the SVY03A entitlement
● Does not impose a moratorium
● Does not duplicate BAAQMD, BAWSCA, State Water Board, CEC, CPUC, USFWS, or CDFW authority ● Does not set utility engineering, rate, or EMF standards for PG&E, or bar PG&E/CEC from approving lines they have authority to approve
● Does not authorize, permit, or immunize take of any protected species ● Does not touch land-use rights — only ongoing operations What it DOES do — eight moving parts

1. Quarterly public reports
Each covered facility files a report no later than 45 days after each quarter closes; it's posted on a City webpage within 15 days of filing. Reports show:
● Water — how much used, from where (BAWSCA / recycled / other), for what. New: a facility averaging 100,000+ gallons/day for 5+ days in a quarter must offset at least 50% of that quarter's water demand with recycled or conserved water.
● Generators — hours run per unit, fuel burned, cumulative emissions ● Noise — property-line measurements including during generator operation, against a limit of 55 dBA daytime (7am–10pm) / 45 dBA nighttime at any residential or mixed-use property line ● MMRP status — measure-by-measure compliance with the CEQA-adopted mitigation plan ● Electrical & power quality (new category) — certified equipment/load inventory, harmonic-distortion (THD) data, and any new-powerline or CPUC filings (see #4)

2. Independent monitoring
For facilities with 15+ generators:
● Continuous fenceline air-quality monitoring, public dashboard, real-time ● Annual independent noise verification
● Annual independent water-use audit
Third-party contractors from a City-approved list. Facility pays.

3. Sensitive-habitat acoustic protection
Any covered facility within 3 miles of the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve / Hayward Regional Shoreline (SVY03A included):
● Independent, City-commissioned bioacoustic study sets a species-protective noise threshold for Western Snowy Plover, California Least Tern, and California Ridgway's Rail nesting/breeding areas ● Facility meets that threshold or the standard Part 3 noise limit, whichever is stricter, using Best Available Acoustic Control Technology
● Third-party biological monitoring of construction/retrofit noise, vibration, and lighting near shoreline habitat File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21 Ordinance Shorthand
Hayward Residents Against SVY03A Page 2

● Avian-safe design (APLIC standard) for any new overhead line or switchyard serving the facility in the buffer zone — covers the corona-discharge/UV-flash effect birds can see, not just noise ● Indemnification: operator — not the City — bears legal exposure for any ESA/CESA claim tied to its operations ● Ask: a defined share of STACK's Public Benefits Package earmarked for acoustic retrofits benefiting the Reserve/Shoreline

4. Electrical grid, power quality, and ratepayer transparency Applies to any covered facility, everywhere in Hayward, not just the buffer zone:
● Exact electrical load and equipment disclosure — engineered figures certified by a licensed engineer, no estimates or ranges
● Any new dedicated powerline, substation, or transmission upgrade beyond what's already approved goes through a new City discretionary permit before it's built (the City can't block PG&E/CEC's own siting authority, but it can put its own conditions on its own permits)
● Independent power-quality audit: baseline before/soon-after, then annual, measuring harmonic distortion against IEEE 519 — done with a calibrated power-quality analyzer, not a household oscilloscope ● EMF measurement data disclosed publicly (informational only — the state, not the City, sets EMF policy) ● Facility reports any CPUC large-load tariff or cost-allocation filing that affects it ● City-funded, opt-in outreach program helping residents with older electrical panels (e.g., legacy Zinsco/FPE) learn about and access surge protection — voluntary, not a mandate on PG&E or homeowners

5. Penalties that actually bite (updated — now escalating, plus disgorgement and clawback) ● Late report: $5,000/day, doubling to $10,000/day on a 2nd violation within 24 months, quadrupling to $20,000/day on a 3rd
● False or materially incomplete report: $50,000/report, doubling to $100,000 and quadrupling to $200,000 for repeat violations within 24 months
● Verified exceedance (MMRP, noise, water offset, generator runtime): $25,000/day, doubling to $50,000/day and quadrupling to $100,000/day for repeat violations within 24 months ● Failure to install/maintain required monitoring equipment: $10,000/day, doubling to $20,000/day if uncured after 30 days
● Refusal to allow third-party monitoring access: $25,000/day, plus immediate grounds for permit review ● Economic benefit disgorgement: on top of the above, the operator must give back any cost it avoided or deferred by delaying compliance (e.g., monitoring equipment not installed, water offsets not bought), calculated using EPA's BEN methodology — so non-compliance can never pencil out as cheaper than compliance ● Clawback: any City tax abatement or fee waiver the facility has received is clawed back in full (plus interest) on a verified exceedance
● Inflation adjustment: every dollar figure above adjusts annually for Bay Area CPI, so the penalties don't erode over time
● These are civil penalties enforced by the City Attorney in court, not administrative citations — so they aren't capped at the $100/$200/$500 ceiling state law puts on administrative fines All penalty and disgorgement revenue goes into a Community Impact Fund for water, air, noise, habitat-acoustic, and grid resilience mitigation in affected neighborhoods.

6. A designated enforcement office
Data Center Oversight function inside Environmental Services or Community Development. Receives reports, investigates complaints, oversees the bioacoustic study, tracks electrical/power -quality reporting, coordinates hazmat inventory and Fire Department emergency-response planning, files an Annual Report to Council.

7. Community Advisory Panel
Five residents living within 3 miles of any covered facility. Recommends how the Community Impact Fund gets spent.

8. Hazardous materials and emergency-response coordination (new) Facility-funded, ongoing:
● Annual public hazmat inventory — diesel, lubricants, refrigerants, battery-system chemicals — filed with the City and the local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA); updated whenever it changes materially ● Fire Department coordination — facility-specific pre-incident plans, current on-site emergency contacts, and any specialized training/equipment the Fire Department says it needs to respond to this facility ● Requirements have to be technically supportable and tied to what's actually on site — not open-ended File# RPT 26-064 Agenda #21 Ordinance Shorthand
Hayward Residents Against SVY03A Page 3

This is in addition to, not a substitute for, whatever the Facility already owes CUPA under state hazmat law.

What Council actually votes on September 15
Not the ordinance itself. A directive motion:

Council directs staff and the City Attorney to prepare, within 90 days, a Data Center Oversight and Transparency Ordinance including quarterly public reporting, third-party monitoring for facilities with 15+ generators, enhanced acoustic protection and avian-safe electrical design for facilities near the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve / Hayward Regional Shoreline, certified electrical-load disclosure and independent power-quality monitoring, financial penalties for exceedances, a designated enforcement office, hazardous-materials inventory and Fire Department emergency-response coordination, and a community-benefit fund. Staff returns with a draft for Council consideration.

That is the ask. One motion. 90 days for staff to bring back the draft.

Why this survives legal challenge
● Police-power authority, not land-use or utility-rate authority ● Reports on compliance with existing agencies' requirements (BAAQMD, BAWSCA, CPUC, USFWS, CDFW), doesn't create parallel standards
● Explicit non-rescission clause — SVY03A entitlement stands ● No take authorization — wildlife provisions rely on the City's own permit/contract leverage, not on new substantive ESA/CESA/MBTA standards
● Electrical provisions run against the facility as the City's permittee/PG&E's customer, not against PG&E's utility system, which only the CPUC and CEC can regulate
● Retroactively applies to existing facilities the same way stormwater and building-code updates do ● New — penalties are structured as civil, escalating, and tied to actual economic benefit (not flat fines), which is the framework's answer to Excessive Fines Clause proportionality review The pitch in one breath
Hayward already approved SVY03A. The CEQA MMRP already exists. This ordinance just makes sure the MMRP is actually enforced — with public reporting, independent monitoring, real penalties that escalate and can't be outrun by writing a check, protection for the endangered shoreline birds next door (noise and the powerlines they can see), a look at what the grid buildout means for ratepayers and older homes' wiring, and a Council that gets an annual accountability report. Every hyperscale data center that comes next is covered too.

A note on two items from the coalition's memos
California's SB 886/AB 2383 (utility cost allocation) and SB 887 (CEQA/local voice for data centers) passed the Legislature on August 31, 2026, and are pending the Governor's signature as of this writing — they are pending, not yet law, and should be described that way at Council until signed. And the "flat ban on new powerlines" and "put an oscilloscope on the grid" asks from the electrical memo aren't something the City can adopt as written — PG&E's lines and grid monitoring are CPUCregulated; this framework instead requires discretionary City review of any new line serving the facility, and a proper calibrated power-quality audit against IEEE 519.

Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
My name is Danae Griffin and I am writing to urge you to vote in support of a data center ban in Hayward. I was born and raised in Hayward. I still live and work in this community and it is disheartening to hear about the possibility of data centers popping up in our city. In a beautiful and diverse city like Hayward, the pollution and environmental factors that come with a data center would put our residents at risk. Decreased air and water quality would perpetuate environmental racism in our community and could cause major health risks to the people in our community. I worry about the future of our city, if it chooses to continue allowing data centers to pollute our air and water and decrease our quality of life. Hayward has shown that it can listen to its residents and set the example of neighboring cities. I think a data center ban is a great way to continue that pattern.

For these reasons, I hope the Council will:

1. Vote YES on the Referral.

2. Direct staff to develop a ban on future data centers.

3. Create a system for monitoring the environmental impacts of previously approved data centers and penalties for non-compliance.

Thank you,

Dear Hayward Mayor & Councilmembers,
I'm writing to urge the council to move forward with banning all future data center construction in Hayward.

The STACK SVY03A Data Center is currently being constructed just over a mile from the home of my retired parents, elderly grandmother, and other family members. Because this data center is so close to their home, I worry about their health, the unknown noise pollution and the potential impact this facility may have on their electricity bills. It is well documented that noise pollution, rising electricity bills, and environmental damage are issues residents face when data centers of similar size are constructed near residential communities. The data provided in the environmental impact report is inadequate to ensure the protection of our community members or the environment. Our residents' well-being should not be risked for the sake of a new data center and a limited number of new jobs.

That this data center was approved without proper public input is a shame and a clear disregard for the Hayward residents who would be directly affected. A mistake of this magnitude cannot simply be acknowledged and then repeated. The council has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted to make responsible decisions about future data center development, and it should not be given the opportunity to approve another one. This is a non-partisan issue that Hayward residents of all ages, demographics and political affiliations agree on.

I urge you to pass a ban on all future data centers.

Best,
Elisha Crader

Hayward City Council Meeting
September 15, 2026
Public Comment on Agenda #21/File RPT 26-064

Tri Do, MD, MPH
Hayward Resident, Public Health Physician and Scientist

Dear City Council Members, Mayor Salinas, and City of Hayward Staff,

I am writing to express support for a moratorium on new data centers in city of Hayward. I am also writing to express my professional concern for the public health and human impact of the already- approved hyperscale data center, SVY03A.

For the purpose of this letter, I will focus on issue of heat generation by SVY03A and its potential impact to public health.

The state of California’s CalEPA has developed a health-heat index called the CalHeatScore (https://calheatscore.calepa.ca.gov/
). This index correlates the local temperature to impacts on human health such as emergency room visits for heat illness and heat stroke, dehydration, and kidney injury.[i] The CalHeatScore Rank ranges from 0, meaning no increased risk of heat-related illness, to 4 which represents a 1.75 relative risk of harm to human health.

The number of weather-related heat illnesses has been increasing over the past two decades.[ii] Heat waves are occurring more frequently and during times of the year that are typically cooler.

Hayward saw two heat waves during late winter and earlier spring of 2026, several throughout the summer, and the most recent one occurring one week before the writing of this letter.[iii]

The climate models used for the CalHeatScore use large-scale forecast models but cannot account for local production of heat such as a hyperscale data center. During episodes of “heat domes” where atmospheric high pressure ridges trap heat, winds are reduced, and locally generated heat may stay local.

To understand how much the local climate could be impacted, particularly during a climatic heat event, it is possible to calculate how much additional heat a data center would add—and therefore how it affects the local temperature. This information, in turn, can be used to examine its impact on the health of residents.

In review of the document STACK SVY03A Data Center Campus Final InitialStudy / Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND),[iv] the data center would consume up to 67.2 MW of electricity. For electronics including data centers, nearly 100% of this energy is converted into thermal energy.

For this modeling, the following data inputs have been used:

The height of air affected by the data-center generated heat and the height which people typically occupy around homes and in buildings is 20 feet.

The land area of Hayward is 45.8 square miles, and during heat dome events, the heat may be approximately confined to an area around the data center the size of Hayward.

Heat capacity of air is 1,005 J/(kg * oC)
Density of air 1.23 kg/m3
Continuous operation of the SVY03A consumes and produces 67.2 MW of energy.

The calculations show that SVY03A operating continuously could raise the temperature of an area the size of the city of Hayward by 8.4
oF per day.

This level of added heat is sufficient to raise the CalHeatScore by one to two ranks. In other words, on days where a heat dome is in effect and where the risk to human health would normally be moderate, the operation of SVY03A may push the impact to human health into a severe category.

In addition, the local population of Hayward, and their vulnerability to heat-related illness, must be taken into consideration. Many residents of Hayward may be unable to afford air conditioning because 8.5% of the population is under the federal poverty level.[v] Seniors are particularly sensitive
to heat-related illness and over 21,000 individuals (14.4%) in Hayward are over the age of 65.[vi] People with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart disease, neurological disease, and kidney disease are at higher risk for heat-related illness.

All of these groups would experience an inequitable, worse health outcome as a result of the operation of the data center during a weather-related heat event.

As a long time Hayward resident, I urge the City of Hayward to:

1. pass a moratorium on new data centers, and

2. request that the California Energy Commission perform a full Environmental Impact Review •
•
•
•
•
(EIR) of the ISMND taking heat generation into account.

Absent an EIR from the state, I urge the City of Hayward to:

1. monitor the impact of SVY03A on local climate and on human health, in collaboration with climate and public health experts, and

2. take appropriate action if signs of impacts to the local climate and public health occur.

Respectfully submitted,
