20 <br /> <br />o Require use of electric or alternatively fueled sweepers with HEPA filters. <br />o Include energy storage where appropriate to optimize renewable energy generation <br />systems and avoid peak energy use. <br />o Prohibit gas powered landscape equipment and implement electric yard equipment <br />compatibility <br />• Transportation-related mitigation: <br />o Provide EV parking <br />o Require residential area parking permits <br />o Implement ride-sharing, vanpool, shuttle, bike-sharing programs <br />o Provide bike parking near transit <br />o Provide local shuttles <br />o Implement area or cordon pricing <br />o Install a park-and-ride lot <br />• Water-related mitigation: <br />o Install an infiltration basin to provide an opportunity for 100% of the storm water to <br />infiltrate on-site. <br />o Install a system to reutilize gray water <br />o Use locally-sourced water supply <br />o Plant native and drought-resistant trees and vegetation <br />• Develop and follow a “green streets guide” that requires: <br />o Use of minimal amounts of concrete and asphalt; <br />o Use of groundcovers rather than pavement to reduce heat reflection.49 <br />• Implement Project design features such as: <br />o Shade HVAC equipment from direct sunlight; <br />o Install high-albedo white thermoplastic polyolefin roof membrane; <br />o Install formaldehyde-free insulation; and <br />o Use recycled-content gypsum board. <br />o Require all buildings to become “LEED” and “WELL” certified. <br />• Plant low-VOC emitting shade trees, e.g., in parking lots to reduce evaporative emissions from <br />parked vehicles. <br />Finally, the Kimball Business Park Project Final Environmental Impact Report includes various feasible <br />mitigation measures that would reduce on-site area emissions that are applicable to the proposed <br />Project’s retail land use, and include, but are not limited to:50 <br />• Increase in insulation such that heat transfer and thermal bridging is minimized. <br />• Limit air leakage through the structure and/or within the heating and cooling distribution <br />system. <br /> <br />49 Cool Houston Plan; <br />http://www.harcresearch.org/sites/default/files/documents/projects/CoolHoustonPlan_0.pdf <br />50 Mitigation Monitoring Plan for the Kimball Business Park Project Final Environmental Impact Report, July 2016.
