84) <br /> <br />conjunction with the Pleasanton Chamber of .Commerce, Downtown Association, <br />and other business group(s) to disseminate information regarding the availability <br />of residential units; (2) contacting large employers (100+ employees) located <br />within the City and working with their Human Resources DeparUnem to provide <br />information about the availability of the residential units; and (3) holding pre-sale <br />open houses as each phase of the residential units is released for sale, and inviting <br />persons who work in the City of Pleasanton. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />During the course of selling residential units in each phase of the Project, the <br />developer may become aware that there are more qualified, potential buyers than <br />residential units available for sale. This surplus of buyers may be manifested in <br />that the number of persons who have signed interest cards, placed deposits on <br />future units, or have written names on waiting lists exceeds the number of <br />residential units to be released for sale. When such a "surplus of buyers" situation <br />occurs, the developer is encouraged to grant preferences to those qualified, <br />potential buyers who are employed within the City of Pleasanton. Such <br />preferences may include, but are not limited to: (1) higher priority on waiting <br />lists; and (2) pre-release open houses. <br /> <br />Green Building Design. Developers are encouraged to utilize "Green Building" <br />practices in constructing new buildings, in demolishing existing buildings, or removing <br />trees, and in long-term operation of buildings. <br /> <br />Developers shall prepare a summary of Green Building components it will use in <br />constructing, demolishing, and/or operating their proposed projects for review and <br />approval by the Planning Commission prior to issuance of a final map or building <br />permit needed for the project, whichever comes first. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />The Planning Commission shall determine the good-faith effort to maximize <br />Green Building practices consistent with the economic realities of using such <br />practices. Where a practice has no cost to a builder/owner, such practice shall be <br />used. Where practices have associated costs, the Planning Commission shall <br />endeavor to compare up-front cost increases to long-term cost savings in <br />determining economic feasibility. <br /> <br />c) <br /> <br />As a threshold target, the Planning Commission has deterrained a LEED score of <br />"superior' is feasible for commercial/office projects. The Planning Commission <br />further finds that residential builders making good-faith efforts will incorporate <br />several practices from each of the categories found in the "New Home Green <br />Builder Checklist." These thresholds are subject to adjustment as the costs and <br />energy or environmental savings of various practices are better known. <br /> <br />Conditions of Approval Page 44 of 44 August 9, 2000 <br /> <br /> <br />
