item on a future agenda for consideration.
4. NEW BUSINESS
4.1
UPCOMING CODE ADOPTIONS - ALL-ELECTRIC ONLY
REQUIREMENTS AND PROPOSALS
Staff will provide an update on the 2019 City Council adopted
All-Electric Only Ordinance. The requirement applies to all new
Low-Rise Residential construction (3-stories or less). Council adopted
a stand-alone ordinance based in the California Energy Code which
required the execution of a cost-effectiveness study. The California
Energy Commission has determined that Reach Code adoptions for
decarbonization do not require a cost-effectiveness study for 2022
codes provided the adoption resides within the California Green
Building Standards Code. For 2023; it is proposed to adopt the
All-Electric Only requirement for new Low-Rise Residential construction
by amending the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code. The
Subcommittee may discuss this item and provide direction to staff.

4.2
CITYBUS SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN: SERVICE OVERVIEW
AND PRIORITIES
Staff will provide an update on the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP).
The SRTP serves as a policy, planning, and programming document,
laying out the anticipated service plan, capital program, and operations
budget over a ten-year period. All transit operators receiving federal
funding through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) are
required to complete a SRTP every four years.
In addition to providing a “road map” for short-term service and fare
changes and capital program priorities, the SRTP serves as a critical
step in the development of the Bay Area’s Regional Transportation Plan
(RTP). Together, the SRTP and RTP justify the programming and
awarding of state and federal operating and capital grants to support
Santa Rosa CityBus. The Subcommittee may discuss this item and
provide direction to staff.
