Green Building Measures The homes covered by this approval shall be covered by the City's adopted green Building Or- dinance, which establishes a minimum of 50 points for a home with a minimum of 10 points in each category (Resources, Energy, and IAQ/ Health). As required by the ordinance, the appli- cant would submit a proposed checklist showing whieh measures are incorporated in the design of the proposed home addition/remodeling in order to meet this 50-point requirement. Both City and ACWMA staff are available to provide technical assistance to future lot purchasers concern- ing questions they may have about these green building measures and Green Point rating sys- tem. Growth Management Allocations Development of this property would fall under the "First-Come-First-Serve" category of the City's Growth Management program, which has an annual, non-transferable allocation of 100 units. Although past demand for "First-Come-First-Serve" units has exceeded supply in the past, that demand has declined since 2000. Staff, therefore, anticipates that there would be ade- quate building permit capacity for these lots in the future. VIII. PUBLIC COMMENT Public notices were sent to all property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the project site and to all homeowners living in both phases of the Laguna Oaks development. Since the work ses- sion, several neighbors have communicated to staff; summaries of their letters and/or emails fol- low: 1. Larry and Joyce Messa (3464 Old Foothill Road) . Clustering 8 homes and leaving the remaining land in permanent open space is a good use for this property. . 4-H usage of the open space area for project animals is under a very controlled envi- ronment with pens and sheltered areas. This would be very unsightly. Support 4-H as a good learning experience for children to raise animals, but believe that this is not the proper location to house 4-H animals. Will support a free range grazing, . Will not support any type of picnic area, hiking trails, or any type of staging area or parking lots on any part of the Austin property. The Alviso Adobe Park was approved with limited usage, and the Messas hope that won't change with the acquisition of the open space should the Austin Family donate it to the City. . Concern of how the open space will be maintained to alleviate potential fire hazard. 2. Sandeep Duggal and Eena Duggal (8019 Jorgensen Lane) . Property is one of the most heavily impacted of all the homes on Jorgensen Lane. Item 6.c., PUD-58 and PGPA-I I Page 28 of 34 August 23, 2006
