A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON
RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 44-2008 ESTABLISHING STANDARDS FOR
GREEN BUILDING
WHEREAS, in October 2008, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 44-2008
establishing standards for green building applicable to both residential and non-residential
projects. The standards implemented provisions set forth in Article IX of Chapter 16 (Zoning) of
the Tiburon Municipal Code regarding Green Building; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon is obligated under state law to adopt, and has
adopted, a new construction code known as CALGreen that provides more stringent green
building standards than are set forth in Resolution No. 44-2008; and
WHEREAS, state law requires that local amendments to building code may not be less
stringent than those contained within the state-adopted code, thereby necessitating the repeal of
the Town's Green Building provisions contained in Article IX and the rescission of green
building standards set forth in Resolution No. 44-2008; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council finds that adoption of this resolution is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the
CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council hereby adopts this resolution in order to promote and
protect the public health, safety, and general welfare and achieve compliance with state-
mandated construction codes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of
Tiburon does hereby rescind Resolution 44-2008, adopted October 15, 2008, effective
immediately.
