adjacent sensitive
receptors within the
required setback area
• A sensitive receptor shall
be defined as schools,
health care facilities,
libraries, churches,
correctional facilities,
parks/recreational
facilities, in-home
daycare, health facilities
(hospitals, long term care
facilities, retirement and
nursing homes) or more
than two directly
contiguous residential
units.

Justjficatjon· Measure #11 of the
Option C contains an exception to
the dock door setback for being
physically impossible. The
similar updated provision in the
Fontana ordinance contains no
physical exception. Refer to their
planning commission resolution.

Option C for the setbacks states:
"Loading Dock Setback: Unless
determined to be physically
infeasible, when adjacent to
sensitive receptors, a 300-foot
buffer shall separate all truck
loading docks unless the areas
within the 300-foot buffer utilize
zero-emission trucks and
equipment." The City of Fontana
has actually recognized that it is
physically and feasibly possible to
provide setbacks away from
sensitive receptors.

• All buildings shall be constructed
with Solar Power and Energy
Systems large enough to
accommodate the building and
operation's base power use
demand at the start of operation
and as the base power demand
increases to accommodate an
electric fleet.
• The energy storage systems shall
have enough battery capacity to
serve the photovoltaic system in the
event of a blackout.
• All facilities shall be designed to
accommodate enough space for all
solar panels and batteries.
• The solar system installation should
be done by owners, operators,
tenants, or a qualified solar system
contractor. Operation should begin
after receiving permission from the
utility. The owner is responsible for
maintaining the system at 80% of
rated power for 20 years. After 20
years, install a new system or
maintain the existing one for the life
of the facility.
• The building permit application for qualifying
facilities must demonstrate sufficient solar
panels to provide power for the operational
base power use at the start of operations.

When available, applicants will be permitted to

not limited to, East Bay Community Energy
(EBCE).

amount of power required to supply loads for all
ordinary operational uses of the site. Loads for
all ordinary operational uses of the site include,

heating for fire sprinklers, primary office space
lighting, HVAC, warehouse power, warehouse
lighting, site lighting, minimum power for dock
positions (including chargers for yard
equipment and any plug-ins for transport
refrigeration units), and the amount of light-duty

examples, loads for specialized equipment,
non-standard automation or material handling
systems, and chargers for heavy-duty trucks.

energy means that achieve comparable energy
or greenhouse gas offsets. This includes Near
Zero Emission (NZE) technology when
commercially available.

• The building permit application for
qualifying facilities must demonstrate
that sufficient power will be provided
from clean energy sources for the
operational base power use at the
start of operations. Developers shall
have the following options, or any
combination of options, for procuring
clean energy to meet operational base
power needs for new building
structures. Options may include 1)
installing solar panels on the subject
building or building site, and/or 2)
procuring 100% clean energy from
AVA Community Energy, and/or 3)
participating in California's Community
Solar Program.

Conduit should be • Heavy-Duty Trucks: all heavy-duty provided on the site to serve 50% of the number of trucks (Class 7 and 8) domiciled on truck docking stations. Location of conduit is at site are model year 2014 or later discretion of the developer (e.g., truck trailer parking from start of operations and shall spaces or docking stations). expedite a transition to
zero-emission vehicles, with the
fleet fully zero-emission by
December 31, 2025, or when
commercially available for the
intended application, whichever
date is later.
• Medium-Duty Vehicles:
vehicles/delivery vans/trucks (Class
2 through 6) on-site shall apply: (i)
33% of the fleet will be
zero-emission vehicles at the start
of operations, (ii) 65% of the fleet
will be zero-emission vehicles by
December 31, 2023, (iii) 80% of the
fleet will be zero-emission vehicles
by December 31, 2025, and (iv)

70% of the calendar year or
dedicated to the qualifying
facility(ies) site (defined as more
than 70% of the truck routes during
the calendar year that start at the

• If an EV fleet is not commercially
viable, documentation from a
minimum of three (3) EV dealers
identified on the californiahvip.org
website must be submitted prior to
issuance of a building permit for the
new building demonstrating the
inability to obtain the required EVs
or equipment needed within 6
months.
• If a qualifying facility fails to meet
the "clean fleet" requirement, the
tenant/operator must implement a
Voluntary Emissions Reduction
Agreement (VERA) that mitigates
emissions through emission
reduction projects. The Air District
will verify the mitigation effort. The
tenant/operator must continue to
fund the VERA until fully compliant
with the clean fleet requirements.
