CODE

CONTENTS: Exhibit "A" Green Building Ordinance No. iis9
Exhibit "B" Comparison Chart: Green Building / LEED
Recommendation:
Waive further reading and pass Ordinance No.�i89 "GREEN BUILDING" to second
reading.
Executive Summary:
Sustainability has been identified as one of the goals by the Palm Desert City Council.
While the term sustainability may mean different things to different people, the
Brundtland report's definition is widely accepted as it is applied to development.
"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations fo meet their own needs."
As the topic of sustainability is discussed and studied, one quickly learns that
sustainability is not just about the environment, but about communities and the
economy as well. At the very least, the intent of this ordinance is to integrate multiple
components of sustainability and bring them together under a single program
(ordinance), providing a foundational structure upon which to build a viable future.

The use of a sustainability program (ordinance) to address the issues of climate change
and resource depletion is gaining greater acceptance as a means to counteract these
problems. The development and adoption of a "Green Building" ordinance at the local
level is an effective way to implement changes in the construction process when done in
a manner that includes participation by a variety of stakeholders and utilizes a range of
private sector resources.
Background:
On December 13, 2007, the Palm Desert City Council adopted Resolution No. 07-78
and directed staff to develop a mandatory Green Building Ordinance (GBO). This
Resolution began a process of developing a greenhouse gas inventory. In conjunction,
the City decided to produce its first "sustainability plan."
On June 26, 2008 Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with
EcoMotion will provide an overall policy guidance for Council and executive
management, EcoMotion was tasked with developing the City's first sustainability plan
and greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory.
On March 18, 2009 EcoMotion kicked off a series of workshops that covered the
following eight categories of a sustainability program.
• The Built Environment
• Greenhouse Gas Inventory
• Water Management
• Air Quality
• Land Use
• Transportation
• Materials Management
• Energy Management
The groups were tasked to develop goals for each planning area and identify programs
and initiatives to achieve those goals.
The Built Environment group discussed developing a Green Building ordinance that
incorporates green building strategies that can reduce impacts on the environment that
result from reduced energy use, water conservation, site development that preserves
bio-diversity and limits use of green fields, use of renewable and locally manufactured
materials, and limiting the use of chemicals in construction materials and processes.

Many of these strategies are not only related to the reduction of greenhouse gases
(directly, or indirectly), but they lend themselves to reducing the destruction of the many
diverse eco-systems that clean our air and water, absorb carbon dioxide, and provide
habitat for wildlife. A green building is a healthy building that will endure the test of time,
provides homeowners with satisfaction of their project long after it's been completed,
and has minimal impact on the environment and community not only when it is originally
constructed, but throughout the life of the building.
All new building types would be covered under the green building ordinance. This
includes City owned buildings, commercial buildings, multi-family construction, single-
family homes, and mixed use.
The Built Environment group overwhelming agreed to recommend adopting the 2008
California Green Building Standards Code (CGSC), Title 24, Part 11, as approved and
copyrighted by the California Building Standards Commission with the condition that the
voluntary requirements of the code become mandatory requirements. This was
accomplished with the proposed amendments to the CGSC in the ordinance,
specifically Chapter 11.

ORDINANCE N0.1189
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM
DESERT ADDING CHAPTER 15.11 "GREEN BUILDING" TO THE CITY
OF PALM DESERT MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert has identified sustainability as one of its goals; and
WHEREAS, green building is a key component to sustainability; and
WHEREAS, the Palm Desert City Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance requiring
the implementation of green building techniques in new construction; and
WHEREAS, green building benefits can be spread throughout the systems and features
of a building. Green buildings can include the use of certified sustainable wood products
and high-recycled-content products. Recycling of waste that occurs during demolition,
deconstruction, and construction reduces the amount of waste deposited in landfills.
The proper orientation and passive solar design of a building reduces demands on its
heating and cooling systems. The use of advanced-design heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning systems provide increased energy efficiency and improved indoor air
quality. Enhancement of indoor air quality is also achieved by the selection and use of
construction materials that do not emit chemicals which are toxic or irritating to building
occupants. The use of water conserving methods and equipment reduce the per capita
demand on resources and infrastructure. The installation of alternative and renewable
energy systems can supplement conventional methods of energy production; and
WHEREAS, in recent years, green building design, construction and operational
techniques have become increasingly widespread. Many homeowners, businesses, and
building professionals have voluntarily sought to incorporate green building techniques
into their projects. A number of local and national systems have been developed to
serve as guides to green building practices; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 15.11, "Green Building," is intended to raise the level of
construction in the City of Palm Desert in order to encourage water and resource
conservation, reduce waste generated by construction projects, increase energy
efficiency in buildings, provide durable buildings that are efficient and economical to
own and operate and promote the health and productivity of residents, workers, and
visitors to the City; and
WHEREAS, nothing in this ordinance is intended to duplicate, contradict, or enter a field
which has been fully occupied by state law, including the California Building Standards
Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert does ordain as follows:
Ordinance No. 1189
SECTION 1. Findings.
The City Council finds that:
A. A duly noticed public hearing regarding the proposed amendment to the
Municipal Code was held by the City Council on June 25, 2009.
B. The proposed Chapter 15.11, "Green Building," preserves and enhances the
environment, in that it would set forth minimum green building measures within
the City of Palm Desert and shall apply to the planning, design, operation,
construction, alteration, movement, enlargement, replacement, repair,
equipment, use and occupancy, location, maintenance, removal and demolition
of every building or structure or any appurtenances connected or attached to
such buildings or structures.
C. In accordance with CEQA Section 15061(b) (3), "CEQA" applies only to projects
that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where
it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question
may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to
CEQA." Staff has determined that the proposed ordinance is exempt from CEQA
review.
D. Because the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings and structures
within the city can have a significant impact on the city's environmental
sustainability, resource usage, energy efficiency, waste management, and the
health and productivity of residents, workers, and visitors over the life of the
building. Encouraging commercial and residential projects to incorporate green
building measures is necessary to achieve the public health and welfare benefits
of green building.
SECTION 2. Chapter 15.11, "Green Building," is hereby added to Title 15, "BUILDINGS
AND CONSTRUCTION," of the Palm Desert Municipal Code to read and provide as
follows:
