16.D. Request by Mayor Negrete that the City Council consider taking an “Oppose Unless Amended” position on Assembly Bill 306 (Schultz), which, as currently written, would impose a six-year moratorium on any changes to the building code that affect residential buildings; and direct the City Manager to prepare a letter requesting the following amendments: 1) Exclude existing residential buildings from the moratorium, so that it would apply only to newly constructed housing. This change would allow the City to continue its critical work to de-carbonize older housing stock, increasing energy efficiency, reducing monthly utility costs, and improving health and quality of life for current residents; and 2) Clarify that local governments can adopt the existing 2025 State Building Code language currently scheduled to take effect January 1, 2026; and that the California Building Standards Commission, and other adopting agencies, may consider and approve modifications to the 2031 State Building Code, prior to the June 1, 2031 date stated in the current bill language.
