Statement of Intent (cont.)
Planning Department – Building and Safety
•
•
•
Repeal the existing Pasadena Green Buildings Ordinance
and replace it with the locally amended 2010 California
Green Building Standards Code (also known as
CALGreen) to be in compliance with the statewide
adoption of this code.
Ensure that these new codes and standards are as
effective, if not more so, as our existing ordinances in
meeting Pasadena’s fire and life safety and environmental
concerns for development.
Accelerate the reach of City’s fire and life safety, water
and energy conservation goals without being overly
burdensome on a single sector of the development
community.
