50. 51. 52. 53. The developer shall incorporate the following additional green building measures into the design of the single-family homes in this project: a. A garage hook-up for a future Electric Vehicle (EV-1 ) recharging station shall be offered as an option in each home. If installed, the location of this hook-up shall be shown on the building permit plan set. For houses with this option, the outlet housing the EV-1 hook-up shall be clearly labeled, prior to issuance of an occupancy permit. b. If dishwashers are provided in the homes, they shall have an energy-saving cycle or qualify for ENERGY STAR. c. A gas rough-in shall be provided for the clothes dryer, range, cooktop and/or oven when these appliances are not included in the home. The location of the gas line shall be shown on the building permit plan set. d. The developer shall provide all buyers with a list of energy efficient appliances including, but not limited to, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers. This list shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review and approval prior to issuance of a final building permit for the first home of the project. For the Senior apartment project, the project developer shall use its best efforts to implement the measures identified in the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC), "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDm)'' 2.0 rating system and the Alameda County Waste Management Authority's New Home Construction Green Building Guidelines in the design, construction, and operation of all aspects of the project. These measures shall be shown on the building permit plan set submitted for review and approval before issuance of a building permit. In conjunction with the building permit application, the project developer shall determine the building's "LEEDTM Green Building Rating", using the USGBC evaluating methodology, and shall report the rating to the Planning Director. Prior to building permit issuance, the green building provisions that are proposed to be included in the development and the LEEDTM scorecard shall be submitted to the Planning Director for review and comment. City staff shall arrange a meeting with the project developer to discuss the proposed measures and to determine if other feasible, mutually agreeable green building measures can be incorporated into the project. The developer shall construct a "zero net energy" house as one of its model single-family homes and shall offer this package and its individual components as options available for purchase on other homes in the project. The project developer shall work with City staff to prepare a summary report of the effectiveness of implementing the selected Green Building components, including, as feasible, the costs and benefits of each component. This report shall be prepared following construction of seventy-five percent (75%) of the single-family residential project units, with actual energy use data from occupied units, if possible, which shall be forwarded to the Planning Commission for its review.
