GREEN BUILDING — NON-RESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION: Prior to building permit issuance, a list of the green building measures used in the design, covered by this approval, shall be provided to the Planning Division for review and approval by the Director of Community Development. The project shall be designed, constructed and operated to achieve a "certified rating," achieving at least the minimum points in each category, using U.S. Green Building Council's "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)" rating system. The green building measures shall be shown on the building permit plans submitted to the Building and Safety Division. Each proposed point identified shall have a notation indicating the sheet(s) the point can be found. A special inspection by the Planning Division shall be coordinated with regards to exterior materials. Prior to building permit final, all of the green building measures indicated on the approved checklist shall be inspected and approved by either the City of Pleasanton, a third-party rater, or the applicant shall provide written verification by the project engineer, architect, landscape architect, or designer.

Include these routes in materials submitted to the City of Pleasanton for approval prior to the issuance of building permits. c. All site improvements and construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Prior to construction, the hours of construction shall be posted on site. d. All construction equipment must meet DMV and City noise standards and shall be equipped with muffling devices. e.
