Council approved EQUITABLE BUILDING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (EBPS) OVERVIEW AND UPDATE [N. MARICICH, J. ALKIRE, F. CONTRERAS, C. SHEN, E. ROTMAN] - Receive a presentation from Staff. The City Council will receive an overview and update regarding the Equitable Building Performance Standards (EBPS) program, an implementation activity of the City's adopted Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. The overview will outline EBPS' importance in advancing the City's 2035 carbon neutrality goal and summarize engagement to date. RECOMMENDATION: Receive a presentation from Staff.
The Equitable Building Performance Standards (EBPS) program is a key initiative under West Hollywood's Climate Action and Adaptation Plan aimed at achieving carbon neutrality by 2035. This program will likely introduce new building regulations that could affect construction and renovation practices, potentially impacting property owners and developers in terms of compliance costs and operational changes. The program is part of the city's broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable development.
For residents, the EBPS program may lead to changes in building codes that could affect future renovations or new constructions. Homeowners might need to consider energy-efficient upgrades to comply with new standards, which could increase upfront costs but potentially lower utility bills over time. Renters might see changes in rental properties as landlords upgrade buildings to meet new standards, possibly affecting rental prices.
