It needs to do more to protect our health, environment and quality of life over the next 20 years. Before you approve the draft plans, please ensure that they: REQUIRE that new development use methods to facilitate rainwater percolation for roof areas and outdoor hardscaped areas, and require project designs that minimize drainage concentrations and impervious coverage. Implement a BUILDER INCENTIVE PROGRAM that will encourage new homes to be built with an onsite heat recovery/water recycling system, as the city of Lancaster is doing with the intention of becoming America's first "net zero" city for energy and water consumption. Provide for an INTELLIGENT PARKING demonstration program with the potential to reduce parking requirements, congestion, accidents, energy consumption, pollution emissions and consumer costs. STOP including local open space areas -- designated for the use of residents -- in state and national tourism marketing campaigns, with neighborhoods left to pay the price of open space being "loved to death." ELIMINATE the policy of "off -site mitigation" for development, protecting lands far removed from a project site, a recipe for habitat fragmentation. Require that all lands set aside to mitigate the impacts of development are in the same area as the project. ELIMINATE the proposed incorporation of the Economic Development Strategic Plan into the Land Use Element and the concept that new development pay a subjective "fair share," a departure from the City's longstanding policy that development pay its own way via impact fees for all needed infrastructure, a change that will result in public subsidies for private development.
