It has come to staff s attention that Condition of Approval #3, regarding Energy Reach Code Compliance, discussed in the Agenda Report for Item#14, and included in the Draft Resolution is a prior draft and does not accurately reflect the final staff recommended language to address sustainability. The staff report discussion on "Reach Code" compliance also requires further clarification since the recommended condition of approval requires the submittal of a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) if building permits are submitted prior to the effective date of the 2019 California Building Code and adoption of the City of San Luis Obispo "Reach Code". Plans submitted prior to adoption of the codes will require the CRP as discussed in the condition of approval. The corrected condition language is below: 3. Building permits submitted after the effective date of the 2019 California Building Code (CCR Title 24, Part 6) and City of San Luis Obispo"Reach Code"will be subject to the applicable code. If a building permit application is submitted prior to the effective date of the 2019 California Building Code and City of San Luis Obispo "Reach Code", at time of the first building permit application, a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) outlining specific project components and analysis with considerations of the 2019 California Building Code to achieve the amount of greenhouse gas emissions savings for new construction shall be submitted and approved by the Community Development Director. The CRP shall include, at a minimum, the following: a. An agreement to implement the CRP measures to the satisfaction of the Director prior to issuance of building permit. b. The project shall minimize onsite fossil fuel consumption to the greatest extent feasible (e.g., all-electric suite appliances and building systems). Should the applicant only be able to identify a fossil fuel-based appliance or system, the CRP must include a justification for why an electric alternative is not feasible. c. The project shall minimize transportation related greenhouse gas emissions through program- related measures (e.g., active transportation connectivity, private van transportation for residents, showering/changing facilities, transit passes for employees and residents, etc.). d. The project shall minimize onsite energy consumption to the lowest feasible level through compliance with the 2019 California Building Code. The CRP Northwest Corner Assisted Living and Commercial-Retail Project Page 2 must include a justification for why the proj ect is not able to achieve additional reductions. e. All new buildings shall be constructed to be "solar ready", including, but not limited to, conduit runs, sufficient electrical panel space and designated circuits labeled as "Reserved for Solar Energy System."
