Hillsborough's Energy Reach Code, adopted on April 11, 2022, requires a home plumbed for gas or propane cooking to include electric-ready components at each gas stub-out. ## What Hillsborough does to a range hood. The Ninth Circuit's 2024 ruling against Berkeley's gas ordinance led Hillsborough to suspend the parts of its code that barred gas and propane furnaces and water heaters. Town zoning sets a minimum house size of 2,500 square feet, and there is no commercial zoning, so the town has no businesses within its limits. Nearly every home in Hillsborough is a detached house, about 98.5 percent, and the town's median home was built in 1970 (ACS 2020–2024).
