San Francisco County Municipal Code Div. 5.1 Planning and Design

SECTION 5.101 – GENERAL

Permit applicants must submit documentation verifying that low-emitting materials are used, subject to in-site

verification, meeting at least the following categories of materials covered under LEED EQ Credit Low-Emitting Materials: interior paints and coatings applied on-site, interior sealants and adhesives applied on site, flooring, and composite wood.

Section 5.106.5.3 of this chapter shall apply to major alterations and newly-constructed parking facilities

associated with existing Group A, B, I, and M occupancy buildings where electrical service to the building will be upgraded. In major alterations where existing electrical service will not be upgraded, all requirements under Section 5.106.5 shall apply to the maximum extent that: (1) does not require upgrade to existing service; and (2) the Director does not determine that compliance with Section 5.106.5.3.3 and Title 24 Chapter 11B, if applicable, is technically infeasible, as defined in California Building Code Chapter 2, Section 202.

[N] Construction to provide electric vehicle infrastructure and facilitate electric vehicle charging shall

comply with Section 5.106.5.3.1 EV capable spaces, Section 5.106.5.3.2 Electric vehicle charging stations [ ← ] (EVCS)-Power allocation method and associated Table 5.106.5.3.6, and shall be provided in accordance with regulations in the California Building Code and the California Electrical Code. Exceptions: (Relocated from 2019 CALGreen Section 5.106.5.3.3 and edited)

1. On a case-by-case basis where the local enforcing agency has determined compliance with this section is not feasible based upon one of the following conditions: a. Where there is no local utility power supply. b. Where the local utility is unable to supply adequate power. c. Where there is evidence suitable to the local enforcement agency substantiating that additional local utility infrastructure design requirements, directly related to the implementation of Section 5.106.5.3, may adversely impact the construction cost of the project.
2. Areas of parking facilities served by parking lifts, including but not limited to, automated mechanical-access open parking garages as defined in the California Building Code; or parking facilities otherwise incapable of supporting electric vehicle charging.
3. In major alterations, where there is evidence substantiating that meeting the requirements of this section present an unreasonable hardship or

are technically infeasible, the Director may upon request from the project sponsor consider an appeal to reduce the number of EV Spaces required.
