low volatile organic compound (VOC) caulks, adhesives, and sealants. Please see the attached Green Building checklist for the complete list of the proposed Green Building items. The applicant has proposed to exceed the 50-point minimum. Staff appreciates that the applicant has included a considerable number of green building measures in the project. Climate Action Plan On February 7, 2012, the City of Pleasanton adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP was reviewed by the Bay Area Quality Management District and was deemed a "Qualified Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy" in accordance with the District's CEQA guidelines. Implementation of the CAP will occur over several years and will consist of amendments to regulations and policies related to Land Use and Transportation, Energy, Solid Waste, and Water and Wastewater, which will result in reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in compliance with the targets set by AB 32 California's Global Warming Solutions Act. In advance of full implementation of the City's CAP, staff had requested that the applicant prepare a checklist indicating specific items it would implement to support the CAP (Exhibit B). As a high-density residential project located near commuter bus lines and within a major business park, the project is generally consistent with Goal 1 of the CAP: to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) through mixed-use, infill, and higher density development. In addition, all applicable Strategies and Supporting Actions related to parking, transit use, water conservation, and energy conservation from the CAP are implemented in the proposed project or recommended conditions of approval. The CAP checklist from the applicant indicated that the proposed development would incorporate distributed generation, especially PV, solar thermal, solar hot water, and solar cooling, and/or provide bloom box or other fuel cell technologies (ER2-3). Staff has included a condition requiring conformance to this item be reflected on the plans submitted for plan review prior to the issuance of building permit and is subject to review and approval by the Director of Community Development. School Impacts The Fall 2011/2012 Demographer's Report prepared by Davis Demographics & Planning, Inc., dated June 2012, for the Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD), included Student Yield Factors (SYFs) for a 10 year projection. The SYFs, when applied to planned residential development units, would determine the number of students from a particular development who may be enrolled into PUSD schools. Different SYFs are used for different grade levels. Please refer to the following table showing the number of students that would be expected for the proposed 177 residential units to be enrolled in PUSD schools in various grade levels. Grade Level SYFs for Apartment Units No. of Expected Students K-5 0.128 (x 177 units) 23 6-8 0.081(x 177 units) 14 9-12 0.110 (x 177 units) 19 K-12 0.319 (x 177 units) ; 56 PUD-103/Summerhill Apartment Communities Planning Commission Page 24 of 34
