Commissioner Roberts was pleased with the language of Policy 9.2: "Continue to require new development...." Commissioner Fox had problems with the word "audit" in Policy 10 and suggested "encourage energy efficient reviews" instead. Commissioner Fox noted that she did not understand the title, wording, or programs contained in Policy 11. Commissioner Fox recused herself from the discussions on Policies 13 and 18. Commissioner Arkin inquired whether the General Plan typically discussed school district issues. Ms. Stern noted that because of shared facilities, there was a certain amount of coordination involved. Commissioner Blank requested that Policy 13.4 be reworded and did not want to see the specific technology. He suggested that the target mileage should be identified instead. Chairperson Maas believed that the language of Policy 18 should include "fuel efficient." In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Maas, Mr. Baker replied that Policy 14.1 was already under study. Commissioner Roberts noted that it would be discussed at the Council level and suggested leaving that Policy as is for the time being. Commissioner Fox had a problem with Policy 15.3, which addressed "multi-family housing units to incorporate solar and other energy-efficient technology up to the minimum standard of the City's green building ordinance...." She noted that text was struck out and replaced with "Revise the City's Green Building Ordinance to include residential development." She did not believe that made much sense and noted that amulti-family development would have entry doors facing in various directions. Commissioner Arkin supported looking at a residential green building ordinance for new construction and added that several items could make it practical, such as fluorescent lighting, insulation, and siting. Ms. Nerland noted that in starting to draft the residential green building ordinance, there were different menu options regarding the type of residential building (multi-family versus single-family residence). Commissioner Fox did not want to put burdens on multi-family housing by including requirements they could not meet. Commissioner Roberts stated that she was glad that Program 15.4 was cut for the most part because the City changed its plans regarding the ACE Train Stop. Commissioner Fox believed that Program 15.5 was too detailed in discussing specific software. EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, May 25, 2005 Page 5 of 6
