Section 1: The City Council has reviewed and considered the amendments to Title

amendment procedures.
Section 3: The City Council finds that the amendments to Title 15 and Title 17 are
consistent with the Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan and Coastal Specific Plan in that they
would reduce impacts to properties by potentially producing energy and water-efficient homes
that utilize recycled and renewable materials and incorporate new technologies focused on
efficiency and alternative energy sources.
Section 4: The City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
amendments to Title 15 and Title 17 would result in new significant environmental effects. A

residents, architects, contractors and builders with guidelines and a reward/incentive structure
to build and design homes in the City that are capable of becoming certified "green buildings."
Section 6: The City Council finds that the Build It Green guidelines and Green Points
Checklist for new single-family residential projects, single-family residential remodels and new
multi-family projects shall be used by the City to provide residents, architects, contractors and
