Chapter 17.50 — GREEN BUILDING
Pleasanton Planning Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Pleasanton
Note: Prior ordinance history; Ord. 1873.
§ 17.50.010. Purpose. ¶
The purpose of this chapter is to enhance the public welfare and assure that further residential, commercial, and civic development is consistent with the city's desire to create a more sustainable community by incorporating green building measures into the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings. The green building practices referenced in this chapter are designed to achieve the following goals:
A. To encourage resource conservation;
B. To reduce the waste generated by construction projects;
C. To increase energy efficiency; and
D. To promote the health and productivity of residents, workers, and visitors to the city. (Ord. 1934 § 1, 2006)
§ 17.50.020. Findings. ¶
The city finds that:
A. Green building design, construction, and operation can have a significant positive effect on energy and resource efficiency, waste and pollution generation, and the health and productivity of a building's occupants over the life of the building.
B. Green building benefits are spread throughout the systems and features of the building. Green buildings may use recycled content building materials, consume less energy and water, have better indoor air quality, and use less wood fiber than conventional buildings. Construction waste is often recycled and remanufactured into other building products, resulting in reduced landfill impacts.
C. Design and construction decisions made by the city in the construction and remodeling of city buildings can result in significant energy cost savings to the city over the life of the buildings. Use of green building techniques in all construction can reduce overall energy consumption throughout the city.
D. Based on studies by the Alameda County waste management authority (ACWMA), construction and demolition debris comprises up to 21 percent of materials disposed in Alameda County landfills, and opportunities exist for reducing the generation of this waste.
E. In recent years, green building design, construction, and operational techniques have become increasingly wide-spread. Many homeowners, businesses, and building professionals have voluntarily sought to incorporate green building techniques into their projects. A number of local and national systems have been developed to serve as guides to green building practices. At the national level, the U.S. Green Building Council, developer of the leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED™) commercial green building rating system and LEED™ reference guide, has become a leader in

§ 17.50.030
promoting and guiding green building. At the regional level, ACWMA has developed green building guidelines and green building rating systems for single-family and multi-family residences following a collaborative process with the development community.
F. Requiring certain commercial, residential, and city sponsored (civic) projects to incorporate LEED™ green building measures is necessary and appropriate to achieve the benefits of green building.
G. Health and Safety Code Sections 18938 and17958 provide that the California Building Standards Code establish building standards for all occupancies throughout the state.
H. Many of the prerequisites and means of achieving credits under LEED™, the single-family green building rating system and the multi-family green building rating system do not impact areas where state law has established building standards. The city further finds that, for specific projects, the applicant may believe that achieving the LEED™, single-family or multi-family green building rating required by this chapter could require use of otherwise unauthorized building standards, and, accordingly, the city finds that it is appropriate to provide for an exemption from this chapter in such circumstances.

§ 17.50.070. Compliance. ¶
A. Building Permit Documentation. With the application for a building permit, the applicant shall submit a completed green building project checklist with the first building permit plan set submitted. All building plans shall indicate in the general notes or individual detail drawings, where feasible, the green building measures to be used to attain the applicable green building rating. Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, no building permit shall be issued for any covered project unless and until the green building compliance official has approved the prepermitting documentation submitted for the covered project.
B. Compliance Review. Building division staff shall verify that the green building measures and provisions indicated in the prepermitting documentation are being implemented at foundation inspection, framing inspection, and prior to issuance of a final certificate of occupancy. The green building compliance official or the building and safety division staff may also conduct other inspections as needed to ensure compliance with this chapter. If, as a result of any such inspection, the green building compliance official or building and safety division staff determines that the covered project does not comply with the prepermitting documentation, a stop work order may be issued. At the discretion of the green building compliance official such a stop work order may apply to the portion of the project impacted by noncompliance or to the entire project. The stop work order shall remain in effect until the green building compliance official determines that the covered project will be brought into compliance with the prepermitting documentation and this chapter.
C. Substitution of Credits. During compliance review for covered projects, flexibility may be exercised by the green building compliance official to substitute the approved credits with other credits in the approved, applicable green building rating system. Substitution shall occur only at the request of the applicant and when it is determined that the originally approved credits are no longer feasible.
D. Compliance Documentation. Documentation shall be provided as described below:
Prior to final building approval and/or issuance of a final certificate of occupancy for any covered commercial, city sponsored, single-family residential, multi-family residential, or mixed use project, the applicant shall submit to the green building compliance official:

E. Final Determination of Compliance. Prior to issuance of an occupancy permit, the green building compliance official shall review the information submitted by the applicant and determine whether the applicant has achieved the required green building rating, as set forth in Section 17.50.040 of this chapter. If the green building compliance official determines that the applicant has not achieved the required green building rating, the green building compliance official shall find as follows:
- Good Faith Effort to Comply. If the green building compliance official determines that the covered project has not met the requirements for the applicable green building rating, as set forth in Section 17.50.040 of this chapter, he or she shall determine on a case by case basis whether the applicant has made a good faith effort to comply with this chapter. In making this determination, the green building compliance official shall consider the availability of markets for materials to be recycled, the availability of green building materials and technologies, and the documented efforts of the applicant to comply with this chapter. The green building compliance official may require additional reasonable green building measures as authorized in subsection (E)(3) of this section to be taken in the operation of the covered project to mitigate the failure to comply fully with this chapter.
led, the availability of green building materials and technologies, and the documented efforts of the applicant to comply with this chapter. The green building compliance official may require additional reasonable green building measures as authorized in subsection (E)(3) of this section to be taken in the operation of the covered project to mitigate the failure to comply fully with this chapter.
- Noncompliance. If the green building compliance official determines that the applicant has not made a good faith effort to comply with this chapter, or if the applicant fails to submit the documentation required by subsection (D)(1) of this section within the required time period, then the final building approval and/or occupancy permit may be withheld. The green building compliance official may require additional reasonable green building measures as authorized in subsection (E)(3) of this section to be employed in the operation of the covered project to mitigate the applicant's failure to comply with this chapter.

- Mitigation. If the green building compliance official determines that the applicant has not complied with this chapter, the green building compliance official may require further reasonable green building measures to be employed in the operation and maintenance of the covered project to mitigate the applicant's failure to comply fully with this chapter. Such mitigation measures may include, but are not limited to, changes to landscaping for the covered project to decrease water and energy consumption, use of energy efficient fixtures, including the use of energy efficient light bulbs, and education of the building's occupants and owners regarding ongoing energy and resource savings techniques.
F. LEED™ Certification. For covered projects that have voluntarily registered with the U.S. Green Building Council with the intent to certify the building at the "certified" level or above, the green building compliance official may reduce the scope of the city's compliance review. Depending on the timing of certification, the documentation required by subsections (D)(1), (D)(2) and (D)(3) of this section may be reduced or eliminated.
