14. Policy 9.3 -Commissioner Blank believed the current language regarding financial incentives for green building was not as strong as he originally stated during the May 25 meeting. Ms. Stern noted that could be strengthened. Commissioner Blank would like to see net zero energy homes or those with cogeneration receive financial incentives; he did not believe that any green building should received a free building permit. He believed that the builder of a net zero home should receive a break. Commissioner Arkin would like housing allocation addressed and super-green homes be allocated in the manner that affordable housing is allocated. He would like a statement paralleling Policy 9.3, describing the allocation of growth management for net zero energy homes. 15. Program 10.1 -Commissioner Fox suggested that the word "audits" be replaced by the word "reviews." 16. Program 10.2 -Commissioner Fox noted that "10:2" should be replaced by "10.2." She suggested that energy efficient lighting be furthered explored for the City buildings as well as for businesses. Ms. Stern noted that the City's progress in changing out traffic lights should be recognized. 17. Policy 11 -Commissioner Pearce inquired why Policy 11 was struck; she believed there had been confusion regarding its meaning. Mr. Deakin noted that CCA was recently introduced by Carole Migden and permitted by the legislature to allow local authorities to act as energy utilities, instead of PG&E. He noted that some communities were interested in that. Chairperson Maas noted that would be seen by City Council, and recalled that Commissioner Roberts believed it was a distraction. 18. Programs 14.2 through 14.7 -the revisions were accepted; 19. Program 22.2 -the revisions were accepted; 20. Program 15.5 -the revisions were accepted; 21. Policy 17 -Commissioner Blank believed that Policy 17 should have included the Commission's discussion on not allowing experimental technology transmission lines by any utility. Ms. Stern noted that the City did not control that kind of technology. Commissioner Blank disagreed and believed that the City could disallow experimental transmission lines within the City limits. He would like the following language to be included: "Experimental technology shall not be used within the City for the transmission of power, only established technology appropriate for the environment." The Commission concurred. 22. Policy 18.2 -the revisions were accepted; 23. Policy 19.1 -the revisions were accepted; 24. Policy 20 -.Commissioner Pearce believed that Policy 20 was an important policy and that the only concerns were with respect to the housing cap. She suggested that people be encouraged to live and work in the same place but did not believe specific policies that may violate the housing cap would be necessary. Commissioner Arkin agreed that people who live in Pleasanton should be encouraged to work in Pleasanton. The Commission concurred. Ms. Stern advised that the revisions would be brought back to the Commission as soon as possible. She informed the Commission that the next Joint City Council-Planning Commission General Plan workshop would be held on Tuesday, August 9, 2005. No action was taken.
