AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND
USE BOARD RENEWABLE ENERGY FEE
RECOMMENDATION
Refer the item to the Land Use and Development Committee and Planning Board for consideration
and recomnendation.
ANALYSIS
On April 19,2017, the Sustainability and Resiliency Committee (SRC) discussed incentives for
renewable forms of energy, such as solar panels. Under certain circumstances, some
renewable energy projects may be required to go to the Design Review Board and Historic
Preservation Board, and there are fees associated with these land use board review processes.
The SRC recommended that an ordinance amendment, to further incentivize the installation of
solar panels and renewable forms of energy, by waiving the fees relating to any required land
use board revieq be refened to the next available Land Use and Development Committee
meeting. Since this proposal would amend the fee schedule (Appendix) of the Land
Development Regulations, Planning Board review of the draft ordinance wculd also be
required.
GONGLUSION
Pursuant to the recommendation of the Sustainability and Resiliency Committee, the
Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the item to the Land
Use and Development Committee, as wellas the Planning Board.

CONSERVATI ON DISTRI CT ORDI NANCE.
ANALYSIS
Please place on the May 17, 2017 City Commission agenda, a discussion item related to the
proposed lot aggregation requirement, to address affordable and/or workforce housing, with
relation to the Neighborhood Conservation District Ordinance.
I would like to request the addition of an exception for raorkforce and affordable housing to the
proposed lot aggregation requirement. This exception would allow aggregation for up to five
lots, rather than the proposed two lot aggregation limitation. ln order for an affordable or
worKorce project to be competitive for funding, a base number of units would be required for a
development. As such, lot aggregation of up to and including five lots appears to be necessary.

CAMPAIGN, WHICH CHALLENGES 1OO CITIES ACROSS THE UNITED
STATES TO SET A TARGET OF 1OO% CLEAN ENERGY AND URGI NG THE
2017 U.S. CONFERENCE OF MAYORS PARTICIPANTS TO COMMIT TO
IOOYo RENEWABLE ENERGY
ANALYSIS
The nation's largest grassroots environmental group is throWng its weight behind clean energy
with its new #ReadyFor100 campaign. Wilh 2.4 million members and supporters, the Siena
Club is urging Mayors in cities across the country to follow the lead of cities like San Diego,
Paris, Sydney and Vancouver that have committed to 100% clean energy.
The #ReadyFor100 campaign challenges 100 cities across the United States to set a target of
1A0% clean energy. The move to 100% clean energy in the U.S. must begin in cities. Twenty-
six (26) cities have already adopted the 100% clean energy goal. These cities have agreed to
generate 100% of the energy used community-wide from clean, non-polluting and renewable
sources. More than half the world's population lives in urban areas. By 2050, cities will
encompass two{hirds of the people on the planet. Since urban areas account for an estimated
76% of CO2 emissions from energy use - and many are wlnerable to flooding and higher
temperatures - many city officials are taking on climate change. Numerous U.S. cities have
made public commitments to cut carbon and address climate change through initiatives like the
Compact of Mayors or by establishing their own climate action plans.
Ahead of the U.S. Conference of Mayors annual meeting in Miami Beach in June, the launch of
Mayors for 100% Clean Energy aims to demonstrate bold local leadership and showcase the
depth and breadth of support from city leaders for a transition to 100% renewable energy. The
Mayors for 100% Clean Energy initiative is co-chaired by Mayor Philip Levine of Miami Beach,
Mayor Jackie Biskupski of Salt Lake City, Mayor Kevin Faulconer of San Diego, and Mayor
Stephen K. Benjamin of Columbia, South Carolina.
"As Mayor of Miami Beach, I am proud to support a vision of 100 percent clean energy for my
community. Our vibrant, historic city will be a model for other communities around the world on
the importance of addressing the threat of climate change. We have already taken steps to
expand renewable energy and we will continue to improve our infrastructure and innovate clean

energy solutions for a stronger Miami Beach," said Mayor Philip Levine of Miami Beach,
Florida. "Climate change may be the challenge of our generation, but it is also the opportunity of
a lifetime. The transition to clean and renewable energy will both help Miami Beach confront
climate change and strengthen our local economy. Cities can lead the way and, as Co-Chair of
Mayors for 100% Clean Energy I am honored to stand with mayors across the country in
supporting 100 percent clean energy."
Building on this history of climate leadership, Mayor LeMne urges the 2017 U.S. Conference of
Mayors participants to support the #ReadyFor100 campaign, and set a goal to transition their
cities to 100% clean energy. By adopting a 1A0% clean, renewable energy target, Mayors can
set a new bar - not only for climate leadership - but also as proof that they prioritize people's
health and wellbeing.

U.S. Mayors Announce New National Drive For 100% Glean Energy
OAKLAND, Calif. - Mayors from across the United States today joined with the Sierra Club's
Ready for 100 campaign to announce a new effort to engage and recruit mayors to endorse a
goal of transitioning to 100 percent renewable energy in cities across the country.
Ahead of the U.S. Conference of Mayors annual meeting in Miami Beach in June, the launch of
Mavors for 100%o Clean Enerav aims to demonstrate bold local leadership and showcase the
depth and breadth of support from city leaders for a transition to 100 percent renewable energy.
The new Mayors for 100% Clean Energy initiative is co-chaired by Mayor Philip Levine of Miami
Beach, Mayor Jackie Biskupski of Salt Lake City, Mayor Kevin Faulconer of San Diego, and
Mayor Stephen K. Benjamin of Columbia, South Carolina. Mayor Benjamin is also a Vice
President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
"As mayor of Miami Beach, I am proud to support a vision of 100 percent clean energy for my
community. Our vibrant, historic city will be a modelfor other communities around the world on
the importance of addressing the threat of climate change. We have already taken steps to
expand renewable energy and we will continue to improve our infrastructure and innovate clean
energy solutions for a stronger Miami Beach," said Mayor Philip Levine of Miami Beach,
Florida. "Climate change may be the challenge of our generation, but it is also the opportunity
of a lifetime. The transition to clean and renewable energy will both help Miami Beach confront
climate change and strengthen our local economy. Cities can lead the way and, as Co-Chair of
Mayors for 100% Clean Energy I am honored to stand with mayors across the country in
supporting 100 percent clean energy."
"We can't ignore climate change because climate change is not ignoring us," said Mayor Jackie
Biskupski of Salt Lake City. "Our city is warming at twice the global average. Among many
other risks, we face water shortages, decreased snowpack, and threats to our $1 billion ski
industry. Cities must adapt to cope with these threats, and that's also why we must take action
to mitigate them. Salt Lake City has set the ambitious but achievable goals of generating 100
percent of the community's electricity supply from renewable energy by 2432, followed by an 80
percent reduction in community greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. Cities account for three
quarters of humanity's overall emissions and we have the tremendous ability to make a
difference on this issue. I urge all of my colleagues in local government to join with me and our
other champions in committing to 100 percent clean energy."
"We are blessed to have a planet of abundant resources, and a number of those resources are
renewable," said Mayor Stephen K. Benjamin of Columbia, South Carolina. "lt's up to us as
leaders to creatively implement clean energy solutions for our cities across the nation. lt's not
merely an option now; it's imperative."
Mayoral leadership has been a powerful driver of city-wide action on climate change and clean
energy in municipalities across the United States. the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda
or Climate Mayors founded by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, former Houston Mayor Annise
Parker, and former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, recently released an electric vehicle
request-for-information to demonstrate demand to automakers for nearly 115,00 vehicles that
could be electrified in 30 cities.
Now the Co-Chairs of Mayors for 104% Cban Energy, a number of whom are Climate Mayors,
are further demonstrating their commitment to lead nationally on the shared challenge of
Page 910 of 949

reducing climate pollution and contributing to Climate Mayors'framework of local leadership and
action.
"Cities are on the front lines of the fight against climate change, and we are leading the way
toward solutions to our greatest environmental challenges," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric
Garcetti, chair of the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda. "l applaud my fellow Climate
Mayors Benjamin, Biskupski, and Levine along with my California colleague Mayor Faulconer
for driving the Mayors For '100% Clean Energy fonrard. This initiative shows what can be
accomplished when we work together to reduce our emissions, and influence climate policy
around the world."
"Mayors can lead our nation toward a healthier, stronger and more prosperous country by
championing a vision of 100 percent clean, renewable energy in their communities. Cities don't
need to wait for Washington, D.C. to act in order to move the ball forward on clean energy,"
said Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune. "The Sierra Club applauds those mayors
who have already endorsed a goal of 100 percent clean energy and we look foruvard to working
with local leaders in cities across the country to accelerate the transition away from dirty fuels to
clean and renewable sources of energy."
Twenty-six cities across the United States have now committed to transition to 100 percent
clean and renewable energy. This growing list of cities most recently includes South Lake
Tahoe, California, which last week unanimously voted to transition entirely to renewable energy
by 2032. Other big cities including Los Angeles and Denver are studying pathways to 100
percent clean energy. Earlier this month, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced a
commitment to transition Chicago municipal buildings and operations to '100 percent clean and
renewable energy by 2025.
ffi
The Sierra Club's Ready for 100 campaign is a new national campaign launched in 2016
working to accelerate a just and equitable transition to 100 percent clean energy in the United
States. Ready for 100 is campaigning to get 100 cities in the United States to move away from
dirty, outdated fossil fuels and to commit to 100 percent clean energy.
The Glimate Mayors (the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda)- founded by Los Angeles
Mayor Eric Garcetti, former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, and former Philadelphia Mayor
Michael Nutter - are 86 U.S. mayors in red states and blue states working together to
strengthen local efforts for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to supporting efforts for
binding federal and global-level policymaking. For more information visit www.climate-
