PlanningBoard | 2021-04-26 | 5 | Director Thomas concurred that they didn't need to adopt a resolution but rather just make a recommendation to the City Council. Board Member Rothenberg said all of this work merits support and approval pending City Council consideration. Board Member Hom said he strongly supported all three actions, he saw this as a step in the right direction. He felt that the staff report had done a great job in their analysis. Board Member Curtis said he highly supported all three actions. Vice President Saheba said all three actions were worthy of support and he was glad they were moving in this direction. He added that there were still some things with the Energy Code that needed to be coordinated. Board Member Cisneros thanked everyone for their comments and was in strong support. Board Member Ruiz said she was in support of all three recommendations but wanted to see this more refined and pushed even further. She suggested adding some incentives for future electrifying of existing homes and businesses. She also wanted to see a specific delegation for remodeled homes and flexibility around the 15% roof square footage requirement for PV systems. President Teague thanked the staff and everyone who worked on this. He asked why the PV system was limited to 15%, why couldn't they do more? Staff Member Mieler said the intent was not to limit it to 15%. Mr. Farahmand said that was correct, it was a minimum of 15%. President Teague also asked about the wording and the intent for the vegetated roof. Mr. Farahmand agreed on a modification to the language. President Teague asked about Ultra Pure White (reflective coating) and painting the roof with this. He wanted to know if this could be factored in. Mr. Farahmand said that was a Cool Roof Measure, and they would need to look at the economic benefits. President Teague asked if a vegetated roof was a Cool Roof Measure or a carbon- sequestering type method. Mr. Farahmand said it wasn't an efficiency measure but it had benefits.
