<br />have been made to date. Exhibit B is a redline copy depicting the original <br />Ordinance and the amendments made thereto, provided to the City Council for <br />reference.) <br /> <br />Stakeholders included private sector residential developers including Centex Homes, Greenbriar <br />Homes, Ponderosa Homes, Pulte Homes, and Toll Brothers, as well as the Chamber of <br />Commerce. Public sector participants included the Economic Vitality Committee, Pleasanton <br />Energy Committee, Housing Commission, and Planning Commission. These groups, having <br />differing interests, worked together collaboratively to create a residential green building <br />implementation process that would provide predictability for both the development community <br />and the City. As with the existing Ordinance, staff worked closely with the Alameda County <br />Waste Management Authority (ACWMA), which provided its technical expertise and resources <br />during the process. <br /> <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />The proposed Code amendments would require residential projects that meet the definition of a <br />"Covered Project" to be built to a "green" standard and would rely on the applicant to produce <br />an appropriate level of information confirming the conformance with the standards. The Code <br />amendments will use the same process for residential green building that is currently in place for <br />commercial and civic structures. The amendment to the Code also provides conformity of green <br />building requirements for all residential developments and would inform developers "up front" <br />rather than by an ad hoc approach through project conditions of approval. The details of the <br />proposed Code amendment are shown within the attached redline Exhibit B and are more fully <br />discussed in Attachment 4, Planning Commission Staff Report, dated March 8, 2006, with <br />attachments. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />Please refer to the Planning Commission staffreport for a detailed discussion of the process. <br />This process provided important feedback with which staff was able to amend Chapter 17.50, <br />Commercial and Civic Green Building Ordinance, to include residential development projects. <br /> <br />Existing Process <br /> <br />Residential projects have been conditioned since the adoption ofthe original Ordinance 1873 to <br />also comply with green measures. Green building requirements for residential projects are not <br />currently required by the Ordinance but are conditioned through the planning process. In <br />June 2003, the ACWMA released its residential construction green building checklist. This <br />process requires a total of 50 points for a structure to be considered built' green'. The City <br />currently implements the ACWMA June 2003 green building checklist for new residential <br /> <br />SR 06:089 <br />Page 3 of8 <br /> <br />i <br />
