Action for tonight <br />•Council provide staff direction on whether to draft a sustainable <br />building ordinance or policy <br />•Ordinance: mandatory/required <br />•Policy: guidelines/recommendations <br />•Ordinance/Policy could consider the following: <br />•Type of developments (multi-unit, commercial, industrial, PUD, etc.) <br />•New vs. Redevelopment <br />•Minimum square footage size (to be determined). <br />Which type of approach would work best for St. Anthony? <br />(Mandatory approach, scoring approach or suggestion <br />approach) <br />•Mandatory approaches would apply to all buildings that meet the trigger criteria (size, zoning, etc) <br />•Scoring approach scores buildings/developments on a set of criteria; those with the highest scores <br />are better qualified for city program funding and approval. <br />•Suggestion approach is “strong encouragement” to comply with guidelines and consider <br />sustainability in construction. <br />•The mandatory approach is the recommended option, ensuring compliance from a sustainability <br />standpoint. More standardization helps with competition and cost control. <br />•We do not want to turn off developers who are considering new/redevelopment in SAV. <br />•Less confusion if a policy is straightforward and clear for developers to follow, and if it is written into <br />Code.
