Green Buildine for Business Rehabilitation Proiects Commissioner Sullivan noted that the City had a Green Building Ordinance for new construction and residential and believed that there would be more rehabilitations in business parks. He wished to agendize a discussion about pursuing or expanding green-building standards for these projects. He noted that there was a LEED program for rehabilitations. The Commission generally agreed. Ms. Nerland noted that the discussion could follow the update on the residential Green Building Ordinance. She noted that the staff met with the development community on the residential ordinance and would schedule meetings with the Chamber of Commerce, Housing Commission, Economic Vitality Committee, the Energy Committee, and the Planning Commission. Commissioner Sullivan believed that the Planning Commission should discuss it first. Chairperson Roberts requested that a staff report not be generated for the initial discussion. Commissioner Arkin expressed concern about the heavy schedule as the General Plan Update discussions continued. General Plan Undate Meeting Schedule A discussion ensued about the General Plan Update meeting schedule and whether those meetings could be televised. Chairperson Roberts noted that the meetings were scheduled so aggressively so the work could be accomplished before Mr. Swift retired. Commissioner Sullivan expressed concern about conflicts with the Energy Committee meetings and noted that there was often a lag of a month because meeting dates must be agendized. 8.
