DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM
Agenda Date: May 13,2008
Item Summary:
Discuss methods to encourage the installation of photovoltaic systems in the City
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss the Planning Commission's role and methods to encouraging photovoltaic
installations in the city.
BACKGROUND:
Chairman Miller agendized this item as a general discussion about methods and ideas for
encouraging the installation of photovoltaic systems throughout the city. Commissioners
Miller and Giefer attended a Solar Summit on April 23, 2008 (agenda attached) and can share
what they learned.
DISCUSSION:
General Plan Policy
Attached are pages 5-1 through 5-8 that outline the general plan policies related to
sustainability and Energy conservation and efficiency.
The City Council will receive a report on Sustainability at their meeting of May 20, 2008. Staff
will share the report with the Planning Commission once it is distributed to the Council.
Attached are articles about Berkeley and HP related to their solar initiatives. Also, attached is
a roof plan from a building permit application filed by the Macy's at Cupertino Square to
install a photovoltaic system on the roof. The photovoltaic array comprises about 17,000
square feet mounted on a roof area of about 89,000 square feet. They project it will fill about
20% of their energy needs. Recent articles indicate Macy's is installing photovoltaic systems
on 17 stores. Also attached are photographs of a photovoltaic array over a parking lot in
Springs Preserve, Las Vegas Nevada and and a photograph of a photovoltaic array on Ebay's
new campus. Finally, attached is a letter from PG&E regarding their cash incentives for energy
new homes.
Chairman Miller also asked how much the City of Cupertino spends for electricity. In Fiscal
Year 06/07 electricity cost approximately $700,000. Of that amount $300,000 was spent for
street lights and traffic signals and the remaining $400,000 was spent on city facilities such as
the Senior Center, City Hall and the Quinlan Community Center.

PLANNING FOR
SUSTAINABILITY
Planning for the location of land use
activities is one of the fund8.1uental compo-
nents of sustainability. Suburban land use prac-
tices isolate housing, retail uses and employ'
ment locations frOil1 one anod1er, 2.J.'ld scatter
10'vi7-density development that becomes solely
reliant on the autoluobile for access and trans-
pOiL3.tion. This inefficient and unsustainable
gro\vth pattenl. has resulted in loss of natural
habitat and open space, deteriorating air and
~7ater quality, increased traffic congestion and
a loss of a sense of con1ffiU11.ity. Sustainability
reqUITes a ch3.1ige from past land use planning
to a system that creates and mah"ltains COlnpe-
tent and efficient cOil1munity facilities, human
scale neighborhoods and a sense of cOil1n1uni-

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES/SUSTAlNAEIUTY
The Environment3l Resources/Sustain-
ability element contains an inventory of the
City's key environmental issues and resources,
and it also includes policies for the efficient
use and conservation of these resources.
Sustainability Principles
The Environmental Resources/Sustain-
ability Element and implementation strategies
are based upon the following fundamental
principles:
· Linking- the linking of Resource Man-
agement and Economic Determinations
when~~~~d~'el~ment~~~~
· Conservation/Efficiency- the protec-
tion, intelligent use and reuse of
renewable and nonrenewable resources
· Reduction of Waste- reuse, recycling
and use reduction
· Resource Management- for the bene-
fit of future generations
· Prevention/Mitigation of significant
environmental impac~
· Restoration of impacted environmental
resources
· Innovation in building technologies,
including the substitution of materials
· Co=unity Participation - the compre-
hensive involvement of City govern-
ment, city residents and the private sector
· Education - preparation and dissemi-
nation of educational materials
111e City's sustainable, environmental
resource program is based on the perception

of the community as a holistic system, where
people are inescapably related to the com-
munity's natural resources and other envi-
ronmental conditions. These conditions not
only include topography, air and water qual-
ity, surface drainage, and open space, but all
other forms of life.

Policy 5-1: Principles of
Sustainability
Incorporate the principles of sustain-
ability into Cupertino's planning and
development system.
Strategies
1: Appoint a Task Force or Commission
to develop an appropriate comprehen~
sive annual Sustainability and Resource
PIan for the City. The mission for the
Task Force/Commission would be:
a. "'Tite and keep current the annual
Tactical Plan and measurement of
City-wide programs to help achieve
the Environmental Resources and
Sustainability section of the General
Plan.
b. Identify and evaluate resources,
technologies, products and the life-
cycle cost of ownership for each
recommended.
c. Work with City staJf to evaluate the
financial feasibility of the recom-
mendations.
2. Implementation Programs. Adopt and

implement energy policies and imple-
mentation programs that include the
City's planning and regulatory process.
3. City~Wide Inventory. Conduct a City-
"iride sustainability inventory in order to
identify issues, opportunities and plan-
ning alternatives.
4. Sustainable Energy and Water
Conservation Plan. Prepare and imple-
ment a comprehensive sustainability
energy plan as a part of the City's
General Plan. This plan 'will specifically
include recommendations regarding:
a. Reduction of energy consumption.
b. Reduction of fossil fuels.
c.' Use of renewable energy resources
whenever possible.
d. Improve City-wide water usage and
conservancy.
e. Reduce water consumption by the
City.
f. Promote residential and business
water reduction.
5. Community Gardens. Encourage com-
mU11ity gardens, which provide a more
livable environment by controlling
physical factors such as temperature,
noise, and pollution.
The Task Force/Commission will work with
Staff to keep the Sustainability Energy and
Water Conservation portion of the General
Pla11 current and abreast of beneficial cost-
effective technologies.
ENERGY CONSERVATION!
EFFICIENCY
Cupertino reliance on the use of non~
renewable energy supplies has serious environ-
mental consequences. For our community to
be sustainable, it must reverse this situation.
The City of Cupertino receives electri-
cal power from Pacific Gas and Electric
(PG&E). PG&E's power is derived from sev-
eral sources such as wind turbines, hydro-
electric dams and nuclear generation. 111e
Association of Bay Area Governments
(ABAG) power consortium provides the
City with natural gas. In the State of
California and the Sa11 Francisco Bay Area,
approximately 95 percent of the residential
units are heated by natural gas, the remain-
der by electricity and propane.
Since the severe energy shortages of the
1970's, which culminated i11 the critical
statewide electrical power shortages of 2001,
Californians (and particularly Bay Area resi-
dents) have become acutely aware of the need
to reduce energy demand for both the
short and long term in order to achieve
a sustainable future. This was further
reinforced by the severe blackouts in
the Northeast U.S. a11d Canada in the
summer of 2003. The continuously ris~
ing cost of energy production, together
with diminishing fossil fuel sources
(non-renewable resources), has
required public agencies to conserve,
efficiently use and search for alterna-

These urban communities are in the best
position, through their planning and regula-
tory processes to promote and implement
effective energy conservation/efficiency sus-
tainability programs. Cupertino has expressed
its commitment to these programs in the fol-
lowing ways:
· Installed lighting and/or retrofitted
energy efficient lights for all street
lights and traffic control lights.
· Retrofitted all overhead lights in City
Offices.
· Reduced lighting and equipment use
where possible in all City facilities
through staff training.
· Acquired several electric vehicles.
· Distributed conservation/efficiency
information to architects, contractors
and the general public.
· Endorsed the "Draft Compact for a
Sustainable Bay Area" as promoted by
the Bay Area Alliance for Sustainable
Development. This "Compact" consti-
tutes a commitment to take specific
steps toward a sustainable region.
The Land Use Element and the
Circulation Element commit to sustainabili-
ty in the following areas:
· Land Use Planning and Zoning:
Provide energy efficient higher density
housing in proximity to employment
centers and transportation corridors and
include mixed use development where
appropriate. (See Section 2 - Land Use)
· Transportation Planning: Consider
altematives to the automobile such as

increased car pooling, flexible work
schedules, use of bicycles, pedestrian
pathways and telecommuting. Support
multi-modal public transit to reduce
congestion, air and water quality pollu-
tion and the significant costs of road
construction. Encourage reduced street
width. Strengthen street tree protec-
tion. (See Section 4 - Circulation)

Policy 5-2: Conservation and Efficient
Use of Energy Resources
Encourage the maximum feasible con-
servation and efficient use of electrical
power and natural gas resources for new
and existing residences, businesses,
industrial and public uses.
Strategies
1. Alternate Energy Sources. Encourage
the use of solar energy and other alter-
nate, renewable energy resources for all
new and significantly renovated private
and public buildings. Ensure that all
homes have an acceptable balance of
access to the sun and protection trom it.
Promote new technologies, such as water-
less 'water heaters to effect this change.
2. Comprehensive Energy Management
Plan. Prepare and implement a compre-
hensive energy management plan for all
applicable public facilities, equipment
and procurement and construction
practices.
3. Consistency with State and Federal
Regulation. Review alid evaluate appli-

cable City codes, ordinmlces, and pro-
. cedures for inclusion of local, state and
federal policies and standards that pro-
mote the conservation and efficient use
of energy and for consistency with the
goal of sustainability. Change those
that will promote energy efficiency
without a punitive effect.
4. Energy Efficient Replacements. USUl.g
life cycle cost analysis, identify City
assets for replacement with more energy
efficient replacements.
5. Incentive Program. Implement an
incentive program to include such
items as reduced permit fees for building
projects that exceed Title 24 require-
ments. Promote other incentives from
the State, County and Federal
Governments for improvul.g energy effi-
ciency by posting information regardul.g
incentive, rebate and tax credit pro-
grams on the City's web site. Let's make
learnul.g about this easy and help those
interested get started]
6. Solar Access Standards. Ensure com-
pliance with the State of California
Subdivision Map Act solar access stan-
dards Ul. order to maximize natural heat-
ing and cooling opportUnities for future
residences. Encourage the u1clusion of
additional shade trees and landscaping
for energy efficiency.
7. Educational Programs.
. Develop conservation/efficiency edu-
cational programs serving all utility
users.
. Provide infonnational materials and
participate in energy conservation
workshops.
· Provide educational materials, semi-
nar and staff training on energy con-
servation/efficiency for those who
design, build and manage building
facilities, and for those who regulate
building design and construction.
. In partnership with De Anza College
develop a "Sustainable Building
Practices" guide for Cupertino resi-
dents and businesses. The Guide
should include information regard-
ing current rebates and subsidies to
make implementing a sustainable
building more financially attractive
with references back to the City,
State, Federal and other web sites for
up-to-date information.
· Provide education materials, seminars
and a certification program for con-
tractors and architects who have par-
ticipated in "Sustainable Building"
courses. Many of the curriculums are
currently available at De Anza
College. As an incentive for partici-
pating the "Sustainable Building" pro-
gram the City will maintain a
"Sustainable Builder/ Developer" page
on their current City website. This
page will not be an endorsement of
the individual or company listed, but a
resource center for the community.
. Establish and maintain an Energy
Information Center or Kiosk at City
Hall where information concerning
energy issues, building standards,
recycling and assistance is available.
. Require residents and businesses that
are remodeling to review and sign as
acknowledgment that they have
reviewed the "Sustainable Building
Practices" guide prior to permits
being issued.

7. Energy Cogeneration Systems.
Encourage the use of energy cogenera-
tion systems through the provision of an
awareness program targeting the larger
commercial and industrial users and
public facilities.
8. Regulation of Building Design.: Ensure
designer, developers, applicants and
builders meet California Title 24 Energy
Efficient Building Standards and encour-
age architects, building designers and
contractors to exceed "Title 24" require-
ments for new projects through the pro-
vision of incentives. Encourage either
passive solar heating and/or dark plaster
interior with a cover for swimming pools,
cabanas and other related accessory uses
where solar access is available.
Encourage the use of alternative renew-
able sources where feasible, and develop
energy audits or subvention programs.
9. Use of Discretionary Development
Permits {Use Permits}: Require, as
conditions of approval for new and ren-
ovated projects, the provision of energy
conservation/efficiency applications.
10. Energy Efficient Transportation Modes.
Encourage alternative, energy efficient
transportation modes such as "clean"
multi-modal public transit, car and van-
pooling, flexible .",ork hours, and pedes-
trian and bicycle paths.
Green Buildings
The planning, construction and main-
tenance of buildings has an extraordinary
effect on environmental resources. Buildings
consume significant quantities of water,
wood and energy. Nationally, buildings con-
sume one-third of all the energy and two-
CITY OF CUPERTINO GENER.'I.L PLW
1-8
thirds of the electricity. Fifty percent of
home energy consumed is used for heating
and cooling. In addition, buildings are a sig-
nificant source of interior and exterior urban
air quality problems and generate large quan-
tities of waste and affect climate change.
A "green" building is one that is
designed, constructed, renovated and main-
tained in an ecological and resource efficient
manner. Green buildings provide opportuni-
ties not only for conservation and efficient
resource use, but also to create healtl1.ier
structures and long term, cost savings.
The essential components of a green
building design and planning process
include:
· Location - in proximity to public tran-
sit, shopping and recreational facilities
· Site Planning - solar orientation, pro-
tection of existing vegetation and use
of ecologically appropriate landscaping
· Energy Efficiency - Exceeding State,
Title 24 energy requirements, see Energy
section below; architectural design to
mitigate heating, cooling and lighting
loads
· Material Efficiency - selection, substi-
tution and reuse of sustainable con-
struction materials
· \Vater Efficiency - employ water sav-
ing design teclmiques and devices

AIR QUALITY
Air quality remains a serious health haz-
ard for residents in the Bay Area Air BasU"l.
Even after three decades of efforts to cleanse
the air, air pollution still causes a signiJicant
amount of discomfort, illness and sometinles
death in the region. Particularly vulnerable
are children, the elderly 3lJ.d people with heart
or lung problems. Sonletimes healthy adults
may experience breathing problems during
periods of intense outdoor exercise. Air pollu-
tants Inay also have an adverse E:11fect on vege..
tation, animals and property. In addition,
national or 'Norld-V\iide pollution issues, the
depletion of the ozone layer and world..V\iide
climatic changes pose serious challenges for
COmlnUl1.ities seeking a sustainable future.

ENVIRONMENTAl MSOURCES/SUSTAINAllIUTY
Air pollution potential is based upon
the tendency for high pollutant concentra-
tions to develop at any given location. This
potential is dependent upon the amount of
pollutants emitted into the air and the local
atmosphere's ability to transport and dilute
that pollutant. The County's topography,
prevailing wind pattern and frequent air
inversions combine to catch and hold the
pollutants that the urban area releases daily
into the air. Air pollution is composed of a
vast assortment of gases and particles that
can be grouped in three categories: particu-
late matter, carbon monoxide and ozone. A
large proportion of air pollution in Santa
Clara County is automobile related.
The existing development patterns,
countywide, contribute to the further deteri-
oration of air quality. For example, the-major-
ity of aJfordable housing for low to moderate
employees is outside of the County or in
adjoining cities. This requires employees to
commute long distances daily to and from
work which in turn increases air pollution
countyvvide. Also, much of the Citywide res-
idential areas are separated from commercial
uses, which in turn requires residents to drive
vehicles to complete errands. This tends to
increase air pollution "rithin the community.
Land use planning is beginning to change
with these considerations in mind.
Much progress has been made in mon-
itoring and reducing fixed or "point sources"
of pollution, such as factories and power
plants. Pollution from "non-point" or mobile
sources, such as motor vehicles, private prop-
erty, etc., continues to prove an illusive chal-
lenge. As Santa Clara County continues to
be the population and employment growth
center of the region, residents, employers
and municipalities must take responsibility
for the impacts of air pollution on the quali-
ty of life. The policies and strategies identi-
CITY OF CUPERTINO GENERAL PLAN
1-10
fled in the "Green Building" and "Energy"
portions of this General Plan and those list-
ed below are designed to improve air quality
to a healthy and sustainable level.
Regional, State and Federal
Planning
Air quality standards are established by
both the State Air Resources Board and the
Federal Environmental Protection Agency
air quality management agencies. The Bay
Area Air Quality Management District has
the responsibility to create compliance
strategies, and monitor and enforce State
and Federal standards in the nine county Bay
Area District. Bay Area air quality has
improved significantly over the past 20 years
of air quality planning and control efforts, in
spite of substantial increases in population,
traffic and industrialization. The last full Air
Quality Plan was adopted in 1991 and there
have been three updates since, including the
last in December 2000, to assess compliance
and adopt needed measures to meet those
standards that are still not met in the Bay
Area. In 2002, the District was designated as
non-compliant only for State and Federal
ozone standards and for State particulate
standards. Local government agencies are
expected to participate in adopting policies
to support District, State and Federal air
quality management planning.
Responsibilities of the City
While air quality is often regarded as a
regional or state problem, it is important for
local land use and growth decisions to sup-
port improvements in air quality. The land
use, circulation, energy and environmental
policies tl-lat comprise this General Plan will
contribute to meeting BAAQMD and ARB
Air Quality in1.provement plans.

HP Expands Renewable Energy Use in its Global Operations
Exhibit 0
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 27, 2007
HP today announced relationships with two renewable energy providers, SunPower Corp. in the United
States and Airtricity in Ireland, as part of the company's strategy to reduce its global carbon footprint.
Under a power purchase agreement with SunPower, Hp will install its first-ever, large-scale solar power
installation at its San Diego facility.
The contract with Airtricity will ensure that nearly 90 percent of HP's energy use in Ireland is renewable,
exceeding the company's 2007 target for carbon emission reductions.
"Switching to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power makes both environmental and
business sense," said Pat Tiernan, vice president, Social and Environmental Responsibility, HP. 'These
advances are just part of HP's comprehensive energy-efficiency program, which we believe is the most
aggressive in the technology industry."
Wind technology in Ireland
HP's contract with Airtricity, a renewable energy company developing and operating wind farms across
Europe and North America, is for the supply of renewable wind energy to a number of its facilities in Ireland
for fiscal year 2008. The electricity supplied by Airtricity is generated by both onshore and offshore wind
farms.
Through the contract, HP will purchase more than 80 gigawatt-hours of renewable energy. It is estimated
that the agreement will save HP approximately $40,000 over the year-long contract. There are also
significant environmental benefits - HP will save the release of more than 40,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide,
which is equivalent to taking 9,600 cars off the road for pne year.
Solar advances in the United States
HP's agreement with SunPower covers installation of a 1-megawatt solar electric power system and
required maintenance of the system for the next 15 years. HP will buy back solar power at a reduced,
locked-in rate under the SunPower Access TM program. The HP solar electric system will be financed and
owned by a third-party financier, which allows HP to take advantage of the environmental and financial
benefits of solar with no upfront capital costs.
Initial estimates indicate that the project will save HP approximately $750,000 in energy costs during the
next 15 years. HP also will earn renewable energy credits as the installation will reduce carbon dioxide
emissions by more than 1 million pounds per year, or nearly 16 million pounds during the next 15 years.
With this project, HP is taking advantage of incentives provided under the California Public Utilities
Commission's California Solar Initiative, which aims to increase solar energy use statewide.
HP will extend the benefits of solar power beyond its facilities to employees by creating a solar employee
purchase program in the United States. Employees will receive a rebate of up to $2,000 from SunPower
when using the SunPower Premier Dealer network for the installation of a solar power system for their
homes. In addition, HP will match the Sun Power rebate of up to $2,000 per installation.
At HP's San Diego site, the SunPower installation will include 5,000 solar panels atop five of the seven
buildings. The panels, which are made up of photovoltaic cells, will convert the sun's light energy into
approximately 1,676,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy per year - enough to provide more than 10
percent of HP's energy use at the San Diego facility.

RE: 2008 Residential New Construction Proqram - cash incentives for energy efficient
new homes
Dear City Manager:
I would like to take this opportunity to provide you and your city team members with
information about PG&E's cash incentive programs for energy efficient new home
construction.
PG&E's incentives are available to builders when they add energy-efficient features to
their homes beyond Title 24 requirements. This can help support and encourage local
government and community based green building efforts.
Enclosed is a Fact Sheet describing PG&E's Residential New Construction Program. The
first is the familiar ENERGY STAR New Homes option. The second and third options are
part of the New Solar Homes Partnership Performance Method.
For more information you can visit our website at www.PQe.com/newhomes. You may
also use the form below and self addressed/stamped envelope if you are interested in
additional assistance or for a free training/presentation. You may also fax the form to
