City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Draft EIR Air Quality FirstCarbon Solutions 3.2-17 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/3 - Draft EIR/21480016 Sec03-02 Air Quality.docx actions; and (6) monitor emissions and verify results a minimum of every five years starting in 2015. Program 6.2 Adopt standard methodology for estimating greenhouse gas emissions from development projects and utilize this methodology as part of the project review process. Program 6.3 For development approved prior to adoption of a Climate Action Plan, require the following Best Management practices: BMP #1: Single- and multi-family residential and commercial development to comply with the City of Pleasanton’s Green Building Ordinance. As far as feasible, residential projects should incorporate: resource efficient landscaping, energy-efficient hot water distribution systems; high efficiency toilets and other low flow plumbing fixtures; high efficiency heating and cooling systems; pre-plumbing for solar water heating; installation of wiring conduit for future photovoltaic systems; installation of Energy Star appliances; and Green Points in the Community Design and Planning category. BMP#2: Development shall incorporate energy-efficient appliances and systems that meet Energy Star standards. BMP#3: Where feasible, incorporate solar roofs (or other alternative energy measures) into commercial development sufficient to meet 12.5 percent of the building’s annual energy usage. Calculations of energy savings may be prepared at the construction drawing stage. Where feasible, residential development to be solar-ready, including proper solar orientation, electrical conduit installed for solar electric system wiring, plumbing installed for solar hot water system, and space provided for solar hot water storage tank. BMP#4: Require transit and bicycle/pedestrian connections in new development, where feasible. For the purposes of Program 6.2, development is defined as all multi-family residential development with more than eight units, single-family homes with more than 2,000 square feet, commercial development with more than 20,000 square feet, and public projects. BMP#5: For commercial/industrial projects, prepare and implement a voluntary Trip Reduction Plan, using the resources available through the City of Pleasanton’s Transportation Systems Management program as described in Chapter 17.24 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. Trip reduction goal of 15 percent within five years and 25 percent within 10 years, compared to “business as usual.” BMP# 6: Require priority facilities for alternative-fueled vehicles, such as priority parking and recharging facilities, where feasible. BMP# 7: Development and demolition to comply with the City’s Construction and Demolition Debris Ordinance (ordinance currently in draft form). BMP# 8: In new commercial and multi-family projects, include facilities to accommodate recycling consistent with the City’s programs. BMP# 9: Incorporate “heat island” treatments that include cool roofs, cool pavements, and/or strategically placed shade trees. Implement programs from the Energy Element including those related to green building, such encouraging passive solar construction, as well as those related to reducing energy from appliances, equipment, and lighting. Implement programs from the Public Facilities and Community Programs Element to reduce solid waste. Also implement the program in
