Building and Fire Code Compliance The building would be required to comply with all current Building and Fire Code requirements. The buildings would be equipped with automatic fire suppression systems (sprinklers), as required by the Fire Department. In addition, the building would be required to comply with all handicap accessibility requirements. Due to the proximity of some of the buildings to the property lines, the applicants would be required to record non-buildable easement on some sections of the property prior to the issuance of a building permit and would be required to install one-hour wall/wall materials as required by the Building and Safety Division. Inclusionary Housing Requirements The project has less than 15 units; therefore, the project is not required to provide units affordable to very low and low-income household per the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, Chapter 17.44 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. Projects on a site with 15 or greater multi-family dwelling units must make at least 15% of the total number of all units affordable to very low and low income households. Projects on a site with 15 or greater single- family dwelling units must make at least 20% of the project's dwelling units affordable to very low, low, and/or moderate income households. Green Building All new residential projects have been encouraged to include green building measures in the design of the new homes. Currently, the City utilizes Alameda County Waste Management Authority's (ACWMA) Green Points rating as a guide for determining the specific green building measures to be designed into the home and the resultant "greenness" of the home. The Green Points rating system establishes a minimum of 50 points for a home to be determined to be a "green home" with a minimum of 10 points in each category (Resources, Energy, and IAQ/Health). Both City and ACWMA staff are available to provide technical assistance to future lot purchasers concerning questions they may have about these green building measures and Green Point rating system. As shown on the attached Green Points rating system, the applicants anticipate that the project would receive approximately 55 green points. Staff has added a condition of approval that the applicants score a minimum of 50 green points for each proposed house.
