VICE MAYOR TOOMEY

WHEREAS: Following the recommendations of a task force appointed by Mayor Thomas M. Menino in 2003, city officials have asked the Boston Redevelopment Authority to incorporate a strict set of “green-building standards” that will have to be met before permits are granted for building projects of 50,000 square feet or more into municipal zoning laws; and



WHEREAS:
The Boston Zoning Commission is expected to formally adopt these recommendations later this month after a period of public comment; and



WHEREAS:
The City of Cambridge has a vested interest in maintaining environmentally sustainable structures; and



WHEREAS: The Leadership in Energy and Efficiency (LEED™) certification program is the most widely used standard for environmental sustainability within the industry; now therefore be it

ORDERED: That this City Council go on record in support of this measure and that the City Manager be and hereby is requested to look into the feasibility of Cambridge adopting a similar ordinance seeking LEED™ certification for large-building construction within its municipal zoning code.
