<br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />The proposed Ordinance amendments would have no financial impact on the City. <br /> <br />CONCLUSION <br /> <br />Green building provides a means for implementing sustainable architecture and site design <br />rather than using only conventional building materials and practices. Although sustainability is <br />a global issue, new construction is planned, designed, developed, and implemented locally. The <br />recommendation for adoption of the proposed ordinance amendment would codifY the City's <br />green building requirements for residential development and define a review process similar to <br />that in place for commercial and civic buildings. Staff believes that the proposed ordinance <br />amendment, as presented in Attachment I, Exhibit A, is consistent with the objectives of the <br />General Plan, meets the interest of the community and the direction of the City Council, and <br />would add consistency to the development review process. <br /> <br />ST AFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve Case PRZ-13 by introducing the attached draft <br />Ordinance and Exhibit A. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br />w~ <br /> <br />Jerry Iserson <br />Director of Planning <br />and Community Development <br /> <br />Qw~~ <br /> <br />David P.
