Green Building Ordinance. However, a condition of approval encourages that all of the buildings meet the Green Building Ordinance. The green building measures for these buildings shall be shown on the building permit plan set submitted for review and approval for review by the Planning Director before issuance of a building permit. Grading/Urban Stormwater Runoff 'This is a flat site, slightly elevated above the street grade at the corner of Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue. Grading for the development will include mobilization, clearing and grubbing, site grading, and trenching for on-site infrastructure leading to the construction of the building and site improvements. The entire site would be graded at once. Short-term impacts are ex- pected related to these activities. All construction equipment is required to conform to current exhaust standards for emission reductions to maintain compliance to NOr standards. "fo miti- gate short-term construction impacts, the applicant is required to provide the following dust con- trol measures to reduce dust emissions. ^ Enclose, cover or water all soil piles minimally twice daily, or as otherwise determined by the City Engineer. ^ Minimally water the site twice daily, or as otherwise directed by the Public Works In- spection Staff. Urban Storm water Runoff Bio-swales/retention areas would be located in the parking areas and in the perimeter landscape areas facing Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue. The recently completed U. S. Petroleum service station is an example of a retail use with perimeter bio-swales. Parking areas bio-swales would be augmented with pervious paving. The overall site development constitutes approximately 591,317 square feet of build- ing/hardscape areas, including on-site sidewalks and plaza areas, which will alter the site's drainage patterns from its existing condition vacant land. The proposal is subject to the Na- tional Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) of the Clean Water Act to regulate storm water discharges from construction activities and the general quality of storm water in the City's storm water systems. The applicant will conform to the NPDES program with the fol- lowing requirements: ^ The landscape areas facing Stanley Boulevard, Bernal Avenue, and Nevada Court would be designed and graded to function as bio-swales. The paved areas are graded to drain towards the bio-swales and then to catch basins within the swales before entering the City's storm drain system. ^ The project developer would be required through the building permit and construction process to incorporate best management practices for discharges resulting from this de- PCUP-165/PDR-529/PMOD-81-25-7M Page d0 of 36 December 13, 2006
