In addition, fees charged developers are very <br />low, compared to other communities. Both of these c~rcumstances work to <br />create positive opportunities for housing production in the City. <br /> <br />Energy Conservation <br /> <br />Potential energy conservation measures based on published information and <br />recent documented experience of numerous cities throughout California and <br />the United States are identified in the Table 13 of the Appendix. The ?ist <br />includes measures in which the City of Santa Aha has a justifiable role in <br />energy conservation through its delegated powers such as policy-making, <br />planning, zoning, building code enactment and enforcement, or by virtue of <br />its ownership and operation of physical facilities. The measures identified <br />will be developed in more detail as part of an Energy Element presently <br />being prepared for the City. <br /> <br />2O <br /> <br /> <br />
