• BMP#3: Where feasible, incorporate solar roofs (or other <br /> alternative energy measures) into commercial development <br /> sufficient to meet 12.5 percent of the building's annual energy <br /> usage. Calculations of energy savings may be prepared at the <br /> construction drawing stage. Where feasible, residential <br /> development to be solar-ready, including proper solar <br /> orientation, electrical conduit installed for solar electric system <br /> wiring, plumbing installed for solar hot water system, and space <br /> provided for solar hot water storage tank. <br /> • BMP#4: Require transit and bicycle/pedestrian connections in <br /> new development, where feasible. <br /> • BMP#5: For commercial/industrial projects, prepare and <br /> implement a voluntary Trip Reduction Plan, using the resources <br /> available through the City of Pleasanton's Transportation <br /> Systems Management program as described in Chapter 17.24 <br /> of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. Trip reduction goal of 15 <br /> percent within five years and 25 percent within 10 years, <br /> compared to "business as usual." <br /> • BMP#6: Require priority facilities for alternative-fueled vehicles, <br /> such as priority parking and recharging facilities, where <br /> feasible. <br /> + BMP#7: Development and demolition to comply with the City's <br /> Construction and Demolition Debris Ordinance{ordinance <br /> currently in draft form) <br /> • BMP#8: In new commercial and multifamily projects, include <br /> facilities to accommodate recycling consistent with the City's <br /> programs. <br /> • BMP#9: Incorporate "heat island" treatments that include cool <br /> roofs, cool pavements, and/or strategically placed shade trees. <br /> Implement programs from the Energy Element including those related to <br /> green building, such as encouraging passive-solar construction, as well as <br /> those related to reducing energy from appliances, equipment and lighting. <br /> Implement programs from the Public Facilities and Community Programs <br /> Element to reduce solid waste. <br /> Also implement the program in the Water Element to conserve <br /> Pleasanton's urban forest as well as programs in the Community <br /> Character Element to replace and protect street trees. Tree shade not <br /> only helps lower energy use during hot months, most tree species remove <br /> air pollutants from the environment. <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br />
