The applicant is not requesting additional density under the “automatic update” requirements of the 2020 Green Building Incentive Policy (GBIP).

• Energy Star appliances and lighting,

• Water Sense plumbing fixtures,

• Energy benchmarking for a minimum of 10 years via Energy Star Portfolio Manager

• Energy cost savings over ASHRAE 90.1 2010: ≥ 20%, and

• EV charging: 2% EV-ready

As you respond, consider the following questions:

• Do you have any comments or concerns about the proposed sustainability facets of the project?

• Keeping in mind that the applicant is reusing the existing garage structure, do you have any comments or concerns about the proposed streetscape/sidewalk design or dimensions?
• Given the site location and keeping in mind that the County cannot require more than 0.5 residential parking spaces per unit and the Off-Street Parking Guidelines recommend a parking ratio as low as 0.3 spaces per unit for the subject site, do you have any comments or concerns about the proposed 0.41 parking ratio?
• Do you have any comments or concerns about the applicant keeping the exterior loading space?
• Do you have any comments or concerns about the proposed pedestrian and/or bicycle infrastructure or access?

• Do you think the proposal incorporates appropriate biophilic design?
