<br />EXHIBIT A <br />PRZ-13, Amendments to Chapter 17.50 (Commercial and Civic Green Building) of <br />the Pleasanton Municipal Code <br /> <br />Chapter 17.50 of Title 17, Planning and Related Matters, of the Pleasanton Municipal <br />Code is hereby amended to read as follows: <br /> <br />Chapter 17.50 Green Buildinl! Ordinance <br /> <br />17.50.010 Purpose. <br />The purpose of this Chapter is to enhance the public welfare and assure that further <br />residential, commercial, and civic development is consistent with the City's desire to <br />create a more sustainable community by incorporating Green Building measures into the <br />design, construction, and maintenance of Buildings. The Green Building practices <br />referenced in this Chapter are designed to achieve the following goals: <br />a. To encourage resource conservation; <br />b. To reduce the waste generated by construction projects; <br />c. To increase energy efficiency; and <br />d. To promote the health and productivity of residents, workers, and visitors <br />to the City. <br /> <br />17.50.020 Findings. <br />The City finds that: <br />a. Green Building design, construction, and operation can have a significant <br />positive effect on energy and resource efficiency, waste and pollution generation, and the <br />health and productivity of a Building's occupants over the life of the Building. <br />b. Green Building benefits are spread throughout the systems and features of <br />the Building. Green Buildings may use recycled-content Building materials, consume <br />less energy and water, have better indoor air quality, and use less wood fiber than <br />conventional Buildings. Construction waste is often recycled and remanufactured into <br />other Building products, resulting in reduced landfill impacts. <br /> <br />1 <br />
