updated Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, also referred to as the 202 2 California
Building Standards Code, that will become effective statewide on January 1, 2023; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958. 7 and

WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and
18941.5 permit a city to make such local amendments and modifications as the city determines are
reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and
18941.5 require a city, before making any amendments and modifications to the California

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited

Ordinance No. 2022-11
Green Building Code Adoption
City Council Regular Meeting | November 21, 2022
Page 2 of 12
SECTION II
The City Council hereby finds and determines that this Ordinance has been assessed in accordance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code, § 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”)
and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15000 et seq.) and is categorically exempt
from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3), which exempts from CEQA any project
where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have
a significant effect on the environment. Adoption of the proposed Ordinance would not be an
activity with potential to cause significant effect on the environment because the changes made to
the California Building Standards Code within are enacted to mitigate the threats posed to public
peace, health and safety from earthquakes, storms, floods, high winds and fire, and therefore is
exempt from CEQA. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
Ordinance in question may have a significant effect on the environment; accordingly, the
Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA.
SECTION III
To adopt the code by reference for the City of Gilroy, Section 6.6 of Chapter 6 of the Gilroy
Municipal Code is hereby amended by adding the following after 6.6-2(j):
(k) The 2022 California Green Building Standards Code, published by the International Code
Council, Inc. and the California Building Standards Commission in Part 11 of Title 24 of
the California Code of Regulations, also known as the CALGreen Code, is hereby adopted
and referred to, and by this reference expressly incorporated and made a part of this Chapter
as though fully set forth herein. The adoption includes Appendices A4, A5, and A6.1.
Amendments, if any, are set forth in Section 6.7(k). The 2022 California Green Building
Standards Code shall be designated and referred to as the “Green Building Standards Code”
for the City of Gilroy. There is one copy of said Code on file in the office of the Building
Official for use and examination by the public.
SECTION IV
Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958. 7 and 18941 .5, the City Council
hereby finds that the amendments are reasonably necessary due to local climatic conditions as set
forth below.
The effects of climate change caused by Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are increasingly self-
evident and costly. Higher temperatures contribute to record heat waves and droughts, rising sea
levels, more intense storms, wildfires, and floods.
Climate change is the fundamental design problem of our time. The th reat of climate change is
existential, and buildings and transportation are significant contributors.
Amending the below-referenced code sections is necessary to combat the ever-increasing harmful
effects of climate change. Implementing the proposed reach code amendments will provide an
Ordinance No. 2022-11
Green Building Code Adoption
City Council Regular Meeting | November 21, 2022
Page 3 of 12
accelerated path to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and carbonization to stem the tide of
GHG emissions and the effects of global warming and climate change.
