However, I came across this link: University of California Counselors; It doesn’t say anywhere that community college students are excluded form this rule. Any thoughts?

That chart is not as clear as it should be but it says

After applying the UC lower division maximum transfer credit limitation policy, all upper division and all UC units are added to the total unit count. Use the resulting unit count in reference to column two in the chart below.

If all your units are lower division there is nothing to add to the capped-at-70 value, so the chart will not apply. Coming from a CC you will get 70 units, and the excess 20 you expect to have can be used to satisfy requirements for graduation but won’t count as units towards the total you need for graduation.
