Roll Call by City Clerk An Informal Informational Meeting ("Shirtsleeve" Session) of the Lodi City Council was held Tuesday, July 29, 2008, commencing at 7:02 a.m. Present: Mayor Pro Tempore Hansen, Council Member Hitchcock, Council Member Johnson, and Mayor Mounce Absent: Council Member Katzakian Also Present: City Manager King, City Attorney Schwabauer, and City Clerk Johl .. 01 B-1 Receive Information Regarding Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design- Neiahborhood Development (CD) City Manager King briefly introduced the subject matter of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) program. Planning Manager Peter Pirnejad provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the LEED-ND. Specific topics of discussion included perception, reality, executive order, California legislation, United States Conference of Mayors, United States Green Building Council (USGBC) membership growth, green building in market, square footage in LEED buildings, new construction, estimated value for registered projects, federal and state government buildings, cities building with LEED, private corporations and LEED, USGBC, what is LEED, increased productivity, California study results, levels of ratings, LEED-ND projects, Reynolds Ranch project, Blue Shield project, housing and jobs proximity, open community, LEED certified green building, and infrastructure energy efficiency. In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Pirnejad stated the numbers regarding increased square footage sales and early hospital releases are generally derived from statistics pertaining to indoor air quality requirements, which mandate use of certain materials along with natural light usage. He stated in addition there is increased monitoring of air pollutants that are generally not monitored. Discussion ensued between Mayor Pro Tempore Hansen and Mr. King regarding previous studies, employee monitoring, productivity connections, trends to get LEED certified, and practical reasons for using LEED certification including land development. In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. King confirmed that there are different levels of LEED certification. Using Blue Shield as an example, Mr. King stated the Blue Shield building will be the first LEED certified building in the City and the underlying commitment in efforts to become certified is to have sustainable environmental practices. In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Pirnejad stated there are silver, gold, and platinum LEED certifications and the main cost differences between the same is shown in the cost associated with the paperwork for each. He stated Blue Shield is seeking standard LEED certification and not a specific level. In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Pirnejad stated Blue Shield would utilize these Continued July 29, 2008 practices regardless of the certification. In response to Council Member Johnson, Public Works Director Wally Sandelin stated the City is not sure of what specific efforts are being made toward certification as the hospital plans are reviewed by the State and not the City. City Attorney Schwabauer indicated the literature reflects some of the practices. In response to Myrna Wetzel, Mr. Prinejad stated there are several certifications that cover existing buildings, homes, hospitals, schools, and other structures. He stated testing a duct system would not be a part of LEED but would be a part of Title 24. In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Hansen, Mr. Pirnejad stated Green Point Rated is the name of the non-profit third party organization that rates the greenness of homes. In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Pirnejad stated Stockton received from Popular Science its own rating that was not connected with LEED. He stated he is not sure of any LEED projects in Stockton and specifically knows that there are no LEED-ND projects. In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Hansen, Mr. Pirnejad stated there will be no mandates in policies or design standards as this is a completely voluntary program, about which staff has been approached by developers who wish to participate for cost effectiveness and to be responsible. He stated the goal is to encourage neighborhoods by examples of single projects in the area that voluntarily performed at no additional costs. In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Hansen, Mr. King and Mr. Pirnejad confirmed that the City of Lodi is one of approximately 250 projects worldwide that are participating in this pilot program. In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. King confirmed that Reynolds Ranch voluntarily asked to participate in the subject pilot program providing the City with an opportunity to serve as a model. In response to Council Member Johnson, citing the example of the multi -species habitat and conservation plan, Mr. King stated the program is voluntary and allows people to take credit for their environmental efforts. Jane Wagner spoke in favor of the LEED-ND program, stating AB 2175, which is going through the Legislature now, calls for ten percent reduction of water usage and, while certain programs may be voluntary now, it is good to participate in the event that it is later mandated.

MEETING DATE: July 29,2008 PREPARED BY: Community Development Department RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive Information Regarding the LEED-ND Pilot Rating System and the benefits it presents for new subdivisions. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lodi has recently promoted the concept of sustainable development in response to AB32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 and other state and regional initiatives geared toward "green" development. The first project to take a step in that direction was Reynolds Ranch, approved by the City Council on Aug. 30, 2006. The Reynolds Ranch developers were encouraged by city staff to design their project in an environmentally sensitive fashion, one that would reduce, among other things, energy consumption, stormwater discharge and traffic. For example, all storm runoff is retained on site and allowed to percolate, ratherthan being discharged to the nearby Woodbridge Irrigation District canal. The project was even featured in Comstock Magazine along with other projects that showed exception stewardship toward sustainable development. Now there is a worldwide program, in its pilot phase, that establishes guidelines for environmentally sustainable development. The LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) is a creation of the U.S. Green Building Council in collaboration with the Congressfor the New Urbanism and the Natural Resources Defense Council. To achieve LEED status, a project must verify it met minimum standards for verification. Levels of certification vary. Reynolds Ranch lends itself as a candidate for such a program because it was already being designed with sustainability in mind. As a result, the Reynolds Ranch development is one of 236 projects throughout the world in the LEED-ND pilot program and one of 43 in California. LEED projects benefit not only the environment, but the developer as well. Research has shown a correlation between LEED projects and higher tenancy rates, greater marketability, improved sales in retail environments, more productivity in office environments, and lower turnover rate among employees. Rising demand for housing in pedestrian -friendly or transit -accessible areas can result in higher tenancy rates. Projects that pay particular attention to indoor air quality, natural light, and a more comfortable indoor environment reap the benefits of lower employee turnover, higher productivity, and better morale. APPROVED: Blair King, ity Manager One of the benefits of developing a LEED for Neighborhood Development community is a reduction in urban sprawl, which is the unplanned, uncontrolled spreading of urban development into areas outside of the metropolitan region. Low-density housing and expansive commercial uses entail automobile dependence and can harm the environment in a number of ways including the consumption and fragmentation of farmland, forests and wildlife habitat; degradation of water quality through destruction of wetlands and increased stormwater runoff; and increased air pollution from excessive automobile travel. LEED for Neighborhood Development offers an alternative to this type of development, and ideal locations are close to existing town and city centers, areas with easy access to public transit, infill sites, and sites adjacent to existing development. Increasingly, municipalities are reducing fees or waiting periods associated with the approval process for community projects that can demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. I n those cities, successfully completing the first stage of LEED for Neighborhood Development certification may assist projectsthat are still in the planning stages to gain the necessary approvals as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Staff is working on the forms the U.S.Green Building Council is requiring by the end of the year so that the Reynolds Ranch project achieves LEED certification.

Local developers are already signed up for the U.S. Green Building Council's pilot program, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development. Also known as LEED- ND, there are nine projects in the Capital Region out cf the 238 —from 39 states and six countries —reg- istered with the council. The council is no longer accepting projects for the pilot program but expects to launch the official version in 2009. While other LEED programs — new construc- tion, commercial interiors and homes, for example — scrutinize the design and construction cf proj- ects, the neighborhood development criteria add another layer: project location. F1-- program aims for developments to be built at sites that reduce sprawl, such as infill and previously developed sites, or sites with existing transit access close to town centers. "You can't have a discussion now with any owners without first discussing your planning vision and your environmental vision. They are sy onymous," says Allen Folks, principa: EDAW's Sacramento office and planner Glenborough and Easton Place in Sacra to County. "All cf us — owners, consul agencies, cities — are moving on a path cx re - WITH GREEN DEVELOPMENTS sponsible development, responsible densities and conserving the land." But some say how far this movement is able to go ultimately depends on public officials turning green -speak into action —and allowing innovation to occur. The smallest LEED-registered neighbor- hood project in the Capital Region is Good in West Sacramento at 1.67 acres; the largest is Easton in Sacramento County at 1,391 acres. Regardless of the size, the complexity cf these projects is high with respect to current building codes. Cities and counties are dealing with blueprints they've never seen before. "Municipal agencies, engineers and utility pro- viders are not on the same page as the LEED-ND 43 Mayos C e 2' 111=1t, 6! �,.�r�c�;M�:tr "All of us — owners, consultants, agencies, cities —are moving on apath of responsible development, responsible densities and conserving the land." —Allen Folks, principal, EDAW standards,"says Jeffrey Craft, principal at the HLA Group, planner for Cannery Park in Davis, which is seeking LEED- ND designation. "The process will require time, money and adifferentway of thinking." The agencies that permit and regulate projects increasingly embrace sustain- able jargon, but some say an enforcement culture could create impediments to change. The politics and culture of each jurisdiction will affect if and when local J urisdictions implement LEED-ND stan- dards, Craft says. "Where municipalities are part of the decision-making process for a project, adoption of LEED-ND crite- ria could go more quickly." General ly,regulati n g agencies are not agents of change. Public officials evalu- ate whether a jurisdiction's standards, C ff� 'Taail_J mayos guidelines and codes —often adopted decades ago — are met within new developments. "Public administrators aren't in a position to make judgments and evaluate complex issues,"says Jim Heid, founder of UrbanGreen in San Francisco and a member of the LEED- ND Drafting Committee. He notes that a major challenge in developing LEED-ND criteria was "reducing very complex ideas to a checklist. The public sector doesn't understand the nuances." LEED-ND's point -oriented approach to achieving sustainable development can be a drawback, Heid says. By focus- ing on predefined criteria, "you don't think about whole systems," be says. Making incremental gains toward sus- tainability is important, Heid says, but a broader approach is needed. However wide the focus may be in the future,the current effort to define sustainability standards focuses primarily on urban redevelopment. "LEED-ND is geared toward an urban regeneration infill context, where there was preexisting development and fairly high-density development adjacent to the site,"Folks says. Even with all this innovation, the devil is in the details. LJ Urban, for ex- ample, found it difficult to get staff within the city of West Sacramento to embrace a LEED-ND criterion that calls for using a recycled road base under all roads and sidewalks. "It was a real fight to get that approved. It took multiple submittals and engineering statements,"says Micah Raginski, one of LJ Urban's four owners and developer of Good, formerly known as B Street West. "The techs at the desk are very removed from the global sus- tainability effort,"Baginski says. "Their hearts are in it, but their codes aren't." While there is an altruistic senti- ment among some green developers, they can't embark on projects unless the numbers make sense. "We'retrying to be an innovative leader," says Bill Mellerup, vice president of community development for Lewis Planned Com- munities, which is developing Cannery Park in Davis. "We'retrying to be ahead of the mandates that will come out of it. I'd rather shape those issues than re- spond to them." Some bureaucrats are responding to the private sector quicker than others, such as the Reynolds Ranch develop- ment in Lodi. "Westarted the process as a holistic, balanced approach to devel- opment,"says Peter Pirnejad, planning manager for Lodi. The development SOURCE: U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL agreement addressed job creation and impact mitigation of agricultural land and the historic downtown. "All the agreements happened to be consistent with ideas of sustainability." The acceptance of LEED building principles by tenants has helped pave the way for LEED-ND. Blue Shield of Cali- fornia,the anchor for Reynolds Ranch, is pursuing LEED certification of its office building designed by Williams + Paddon Architects + Planners. "Reynolds Ranch was designed around Blue Shield, even though they occupy only 10 percent of the land," says Dale N. Gillespie, prin- cipal of San Joaquin Valley Land Co., developer of Reynolds Ranch. Creating the master plan for Glen- borough and Easton Place has also been a long collaboration between the public and private sectors, with Sacramento Countystaff activelyengaged in the plan- ning process with reps from GenCorp Realty Investments, says Robert Sheery, director of planning and community development for Sacramento County. "GenCorp came to us before they even filed the application," Sheery says. "The more I talked with the project leader, the more excited I got." The county formed a project team and has worked extensively with GenCorp to resolve is- sues as they emerge. In many cases, the land -use master plan for Glenborough and Easton Place exceeds the develop- ment standards outlined by Sacramento County. Sheery predicts this process will become a model the county can use to streamline the planning process for future infill and development projects. The cost and price points for home- buyers also affect the decision to build and develop green neighborhood?. 45 may®8 Sustainable Solutions for Civil Reap the Rewards of Sustainable Innovation "The cost cf getting certification has helped us through the entitlement pro- cess and will be a successful marketing strategy," says Al Esquivel, project man- ager for Capitol Station 65 LLC, which is const.rutting Township 9 for property owners Steve Goodwin and Ron Mel- lon cf Envision Holdings LLC and Scott Syphax cf Nehemiah Corp. cf America.

The 78 -acre site includes a 20 -acre civic center and a 50 -acre park. Christine Crawford, Elk Grove's plan- ning director, estimates the project will cost around $100 million. "Withthe economic downturn, the City Council asked usto Iookat public-private partnerships to try to make this happen," she says. Easton Place and Glenborough at Easton, Sacramento County Easton is a 6,400 -acre residential and commercial develop- ment by GenCorp Realty Investments. The planning area, located south of Highway 50 between Hazel Avenue and Prairie City Road, includes two communities. Easton Place is planned for 183 acres and more than 1,000 housing units around Hazel Avenue's fu- ture light-rail station. Together, Glenborough and Easton Place would provide more than 2,800 single-family homes, about 2,000 apartments and condominiums, and 3.5 million square feet of commercial space. Nearly 400 acres is currently dedicated to open space. A centerpiece of Glenborough is restoring 270 acres in the Alder Creek corridor. The 2.6 -mile creek corridor would become part of the regional trail system, connecting to the American River Parkway and, through the Folsom sphere of influence, to Deer year Good, West Sacramento :£ Good, located at Fifth and B streets is ii77 opir"tjehf, homes on a 1 6 -acre city block. Formerly B Street West, the project incorporates a host of green features aimed at reaching an over- all energy performance of 20 percent above Title 24 standards. "We're trying to balance affordability with the mostwell-built, sus- tainable, energy-efficient, low -carbon product we can produce," says Micah Baginski, owner of developer LJ Urban. Model homes opened in April, making Good the first of these green neighbor- hood developments to make it to the local market.

Revnolds Ranch, Lodi Current plans for Reynolds Ranch, a 220 -acre mixed-use green- field development, call for a 20 -acre campus for Blue Shield of California, 350,000 square feet of retail space, 1,084 housing ' units, storage units, a drainage basin and civic amenities, like a fire station and school. Backbone infrastructure and Blue Shield's building are under construction. Civil engineers are finalizing the site plan for the retail center, and San Joaquin Valley Land Co. is lining up tenants. Township 9, Sacramento Township 9, the first major Richards Boulevard redevelopmer was approved in August 2007.

U TruckeeRailyara` This project is the transformation of a 37 -acre industrial site — adjacent to Truckee's historic downtown — into a mixed-use;, residential and commercial core. The infill development is a part- nership between the town of Truckee and Holliday Development" based in Emeryville. Together, they formed the Truckee Railyard Partnership to expand the downtown commercial core, with the hopes of strengthening Truckee's appeal as a tourist destination and luring nonseasonal businesses.The restoration of Trout Creek is a major ecological goal of the redevelopment, which must also contend with cleaning up pollution at the railyard and lumber mill Homewood Mountain Resort, Placer County The existing resort near Lake Tahoe consists of three bases: north, south and middle. All of the bases are seeing major rede- velopment and infill as well as a boost in sustainable design, but the 18 -acre north base proposal is seeking certification for LEED- ND. This plan includes 25,000 square feet of retail, work force housing and a boutique hotel. The south base, although not a part of the pilot program, will also be designed with tough green stan- dards using the LEED criteria as a template.

Pimejad estimates that Lodi staff spent about 250 hours to put together the Reynolds Ranch LEED-ND application. Hiring consultants to conduct a third - party rating when each pilot project is complete could also rack up additional expenses. "It cost us around $50,000 in applica- tion and consulting fees,"Baginski says. That portion cf Good's overall devel- opment cost, estimated at $13.7 million, equates to "about $2,500 per unit that we otherwise could use to make the project even greener." But sustainable planning may reduce some costs. For example, infrastructure at Reynolds Ranch, where implement- ing the LEED-ND principles related to retaining and percolating storm water on-site is proving less expensive thar hooking up to the regional drainage sys- tem.

"Candidly, we're walking a fine line — encouraging our consultants to be creative on how to meet and exceed LEED levels, while keeping a handle on the expenses." Township 9 is also tackling water quality on a compact urban site. "In the suburbs, open areas are used to clean runoff and storm water through swales," says Sean Smith, project man- ager for Nolte Associates, civil engineer for Township 9. "We're doing some cf that, but we're also using hardscape technology, such as porous pavement that cleans water." Smith credits the city of Sacramento with a willingness to con- sider implementing a new approach to storm water management. Pimejad expects that cities, coun- ties and service providers eventually will need to provide fiscal incentives or rebates to developers that incorporate sustainable design in projects. "Oth- erwise it doesn't do them any good to spend all that extra money,"he says. All the cost pressures associated with sustainable planning, design and construction can affect housing afford- ability.An innovative financing structure intended to keep homes affordable is being implemented at Ramona Vil- lage, the sustainable neighborhood for faculty and staff at Sacramento State. California State University will finance the project, estimated at $150 million. The university will continue to own the land, but individual homes will be sold and homeowners will pay a monthly land lease for community maintenance. To ensure that the homes remain af- fordable for subsequent buyers, the ground lease will contain a formula for determining resale amounts.

Good's first model home, designed by Mogavero Notestine Associates, is scheduled for completion this month. hi response to the soft hous- ing market, LJ Urban has changed its strategy and plans to offer some units as high-end rentals. "There's finally public support behind energy efficiency, alter- native energy, healthy homes. It's ironic that, as soon as this ball started rolling, the market was taken out from under it," Baginski says. Larger developers with single owners or small ownership groups — such as Lewis Planned Communities,SanJoaquin Valley Development and GenCorp Realty Investments —may be better poised to wait for the market. "GenCorphas a very low basis in this land, so we can wait for market conditions to evolve,"says Timo- thy Murphy, director of public affairs for GenCorp Realty Investments. Mellerup notes that a family-owned company such as Lewis Communities, which has been in business for 55 years, is better positioned to participate in these types cf pilot programs. "We can spend an extra dollar up front, if we can earn a better return on that dollar down the road. But you've got to be careful you don't wait too long," he says. Large-scale community planning' projects like those in the LEED-ND pilot program could take decades to build. Often, visionary plans are eroded by time, market fluctuations and changing demographics. Tony Lashbrook, Truck- ee town manager, says the vision for the Truckee Railyard was created in 1995 "People involved today weren't even in town in 1995,"he says. He deems flex- ibility and the ongoing education of the public and of public officials as essential elements in keeping the vision alive. "A vision isn't the details,"he adds. "Some- times details have to changeto deal with current realities." Some of the public policy battles to adapt existing codes and standards for sustainable principles will be fought for specific plans. "Onceyou codify a vision, market fluctuations shouldn't change it," Folks of EDAW says. "If you establish an urban regeneration framework,the piec- es should be fluid to respond to market cycles."
