§ 14.01

Purpose: this municipal code chapter is envisioned as a compendium of designated components of a sustainable community as defined in the proposed city of El Monte General Plan and as future needs become evident. The new chapter is designed to be adaptive and flexible in that it provides the enabling language and the fluidity to add, implement, and modify standards via a resolution or ordinance process to respond to environmental demands and challenges of future generations.

(Ord. 2729 § 1 (part), 2008)

Sustainable development is in a continual change of flux. To meet these changes, this chapter must have the ability to amend the various sections with either a resolution or adoption of an ordinance. Each amendment to this chapter that creates fixed standard must be adopted by an ordinance. Other amendments, such as a fee schedule that may be reviewed and modified on annual bases or more frequently can be adopted by resolution.
