KCBX s Rachel Showalter reports. The Santa Barbara City Council voted unanimously July 20 to prohibit natural gas in all new construction in the city. The ordinance takes effect for all building permits issued after January 1, 2022, unless a complete building permit application is submitted on or before December 31, 2021. This ordinance only affects new buildings where an electric alternative is available. Buildings still must be constructed with the capability to be electrified when the technology becomes available. Cooking appliances in restaurants and institutional kitchens are exempt from the ordinance. Alelia Parenteau is the city’s energy and climate manager. She said energy use accounts for about 39 percent of Santa Barbara’s greenhouse gas emissions. Of that, close to all of it is related to building energy use, split almost equally between electricity and natural gas.
