ATTACHMENT F <br />Regular Planning Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – Wednesday, October 5, 2022 <br />Page 4 <br />Mr. Miller explained to clarify all three of them, if seen as not supporting <br />sustainability, they would be attained by doing something that is promoting <br />sustainability. He thought there were different ways to obtain sustainability. The <br />impervious surface right now only applies to residential districts so that is why it <br />is being done in residential districts. <br /> <br />Chair Kimble explained to her it seems like they are always on a journey and can <br />never go from zero to one hundred right away and they have talked about the fact <br />that this needed to be tested and it is being kept outside of the Code to see what <br />works and what does not work and to Mr. Miller’s point, she thought there has <br />been a lot of careful thought to what staff has applied the different incentives to <br />and how much that range has been but staff is also going to find out from <br />developers if it is interesting enough. She thought staff is going to have to keep <br />looking at it as various projects come through and test it but she thought it is hard <br />to have everything perfect so there will be some tradeoffs and there will be some <br />things that are more important now for sustainability and she thought it is a really <br />good start. <br /> <br />Chair Kimble asked in looking at all of these that there is enough opportunity also <br />for industrial product in sustainability. <br /> <br />Ms. Gundlach indicated the City should make this an option for Employment <br />Districts. She was not sure if there was any conversation on why this was not <br />included because she thought there is an opportunity to make a major <br />improvement if the City were to include those Employment Districts being those <br />are large buildings or intensely developed sights. She thought this should be <br />added in. <br /> <br />Member Pribyl indicated she had comments on potential sustainable building <br />features and points earned. She agreed on the certification and would probably <br />split those because LEED is more expensive just to go through the certification <br />process is more rigorous. She could see why Green Star is related to single family <br />but more people will go for Green Star over LEED if they have the same points. <br />Green Communities is for affordable housing and those projects are already <br />typically required to follow Green Communities base on funding sources. It will <br />not be an incentive to do more than what is already expected to be done with that <br />program. She thought that would be a good thing to tie to City financed projects. <br /> <br />Ms. Gundlach thought the Commission was suggesting instead of having a five <br />for all of these, maybe have the most points be for LEED and then reduce it down <br />from there. She asked if it was accurate to say that LEED receives the most <br />points. She indicated she does not work with these systems enough to fully <br />understand how easy or hard it is to achieve these. She asked for <br />recommendations on what should be next. <br /> <br />Member Pribyl thought LEED would be the top and then B3, she would even say <br />for Green Star, she did not work with that often but thought it would be more for <br /> <br />
