MM 4.13-18 Applicants for Multi-family/industrial/Commercial projects shall consider providing preferential parking spaces for ultra -low emission vehicles and alternative fueled vehicles to encourage the use of alternative fuels and ultra -low emission vehicles MM 4.13-19 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed Multifamily/ Industrial/Commercial uses building or structure designs incorporate exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste and adequate recycling containers located in publi%ommon areas pursuant to the adopted standards. Documentation of compliance with this measure shall be provided to the Planning and Building Agency for review and approval. Installation of the identified design features or equipment will be confirmed by the City Building Official prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy. MM 4.13-20 All common area irrigation areas for Multi- family/Industrial/Commercial projects shall consider systems that are capable of being operated by a computerized irrigation system which includes an onsite weather station/ET gage capable of reading current weather data and making automatic adjustments to independent run times for each irrigation valve based on changes in temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, rain, and wind. In addition, the computerized irrigation system shall also consider the ability to be equipped with flow -sensing capabilities, thus automatically shutting down the irrigation system in the event of a mainline break or broken head. These features will assist in conserving water, eliminating the potential of slope failure due to 18 compact fluorescent light bulbs or equivalently efficient lighting. Here, the Addendum fails to address preferential parking spaces for ultra -low emission vehicles and alternative fueled vehicles to encourage the use of alternative fuels and ultra -low emission vehicles. As such, the Addendum fails to comply with this aspect of the 2010 FEIR. Here, the Addendum states that "the proposed project would comply with the City's recycling program and, consistent with the 2010 FEIR, solid waste impacts would be less than significant" (p. 3.9-7). However, the Addendum fails to include any specific information on what the Project's recycling program would look like or demonstrate any commitment to the implementation, monitoring, or enforcement of this program. As such, the Addendum fails to address exterior storage areas for recyclables or adequate recycling containers located in public/common areas. Furthermore, the Addendum completely fails to address any programs or plans for the management of green waste, including exterior storage areas. Here, the Addendum states that "weather -based smart irrigation controllers would be used" (p. 3.5- 4, Table 3.5-2). However, the Addendum fails to demonstrate any sort of commitment to the implementation, monitoring, or enforcement of this measure or details regarding specifics. The Addendum should include information on Project - specific smart irrigation plans, otherwise we cannot verify that this measure will be applied or required on the Project site. Furthermore, the Addendum fails to address whether this weather -based smart irrigation would include an onsite weather station/ET gage capable of reading current weather data and making automatic adjustments to independent run times for each irrigation valve based on changes in temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, rain, and wind.
