Janice Stern stated that the City will be striving to reach the State target for Green <br /> House Gas reductions. Using the Climate Action Plan to get us there in the next few <br /> months. <br /> Staff is moving forward with our initial recommendation to the stakeholders so that we <br /> can get comments to craft our solid recommendation. We are moving forward with <br /> amending the PMC and adopting CALGreen basic for projects that are not currently <br /> subject to our current Green Building ordinance, and Basic plus Tier 1 for those projects <br /> that are currently covered and to incorporate CALGreen as our reference standard. <br /> Sharrell Michelotti asked about defining historic structures. <br /> Janice Stern described the structures that are on the City list of historic structures or by <br /> use of a DPR -523 form to determine if the structure is historic. <br /> Rosalind described the timeline, having the item before PC September 29 and to the <br /> CC on the 19 of Oct. and a second reading by Nov. 16 with staff training Nov to Dec. <br /> and ready to service the public with the new codes January 1, 2011. <br /> Suggestions from the group were: <br /> - Staff should make sure that Pam gets her comments in (Sharrell Michelotti). <br /> - Staff should do a workshop with Planning Commission where they get a <br /> chance to hear the stakeholders (Sharrell Michelotti). <br /> - The costs need to be shown for Tier1 vs. Pleasanton's level (Janice <br /> Sangster - Phalen) <br /> - Staff should allow a bigger menu (Sharrell Michelotti) <br /> Dennis stated that we will also be building in an option for projects to still be able to opt <br /> to use BIG or LEED as an altemative to the CALGreen measures. They will be paying <br /> those other agencies for that process. <br /> - Janice Sangster -- Phalen wants staff to be clearer in how electives are factored <br /> in. <br /> - Sharrell wants staff reports to state that the project staff report to specifically <br /> state that it meets and exceeds the state requirements, to reduce the <br /> tendency to have additional measures required. The officials need to be <br /> educated that we are already higher then others and that they should not ask <br /> for more. <br /> - Janice Sangster - Phalen wants the new terms to be used- stop using the old <br /> terms and doesn't feel that these regulations are going to turn off a developer <br /> from coming here. <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br />
