DATE: October 2, 2001
SUBJECT: SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PROGRAM
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive staff report and provide direction
BACKGROUND
On March 2, 1999 the City Council, Planning Commission and Parks & Recreation
Commission held a joint meeting to consider adoption of the Santa Clarita - A
Sustainable Future program. At this meeting, the group approved an eight item
action plan. One action item was the "development and distribution of educational
materials promoting green building methods and establish building code
modifications to allow for implementation of green building methods."
The City's first step toward implementation of this action item was the creation of the
Community Energy Efficiency Program (LEEP) in May 2000. This program provides
incentives for local builders to design and construct buildings that are significantly
more energy efficient than the current state code (Title 24) requires. To date, over
200 homes have been built in Santa Clarita under this program. As a result, the
homeowners will save between $600,000 to $1,000,000 in energy costs over 30 years
and the community will enjoy less pollution from the production of power in the
region. The City of Santa Clarita was the first California jurisdiction to adopt the
CEEP program, long before the current energy crisis emerged. Our willingness to
"lead the way" assisted other local governments in adopting the program. Currently
there are over 40 that are implementing CEEP.
The implementation of a broader Sustainable Building program is a logical next step
in completing the Santa Clarita — A Sustainable Future action item. Sustainable
building is a process to create buildings and supporting infrastructure that minimize
the use of resources, reduce harmful effects on the environment, and create healthier
environments for people. While CEEP focuses solely on energy efficiency, the
Sustainable Building program includes site design, water efficiency, waste reduction,
recycling and indoor air quality. Staff and Global Green USA, a non-profit
organization specializing in sustainable building, have developed several Sustainable
Building program alternatives for City Council consideration. These alternatives
have been developed with input from the building industry and City staff.
Agenda Item:.
The attached table presents various alternatives for voluntary and mandatory
programs for municipal, residential and commercial building projects. An overview of
these materials will be provided during the staff presentation at the Study Session.
