SECTION II F[7`'DINGS AND DECLARATION
The City Council of the Cit}� of Chula Vista specifically and expressly finds and declazes that
adding section 15.28.01� to Chapter 1�.28 is necessary due to local climatic conditions. As a
result of high summer ambient temperatures and periods oF heat waves, average load demand and
peak load demand of energy used in Chula Vista is an important factor concerning public safety
and adverse economic impacts of power outages or power reductions. Facilitating the installation
of solar water heating systems will have local and regional benefits in the reduction of total and
peak energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
The City Council specifically and expressly finds and declares that adding section 15.28.020
to Chapter 1�.28 is necessary due to local climatic conditions. As a result of prolonged droughts
exacerbated b}� climate change, it is anticipated that water supplies from imported sources are
reduced, and furthermore, as a result of population and economic growth, demand for water is
espected to increase. These impacts could limit imported water availability, lead to higher demand
for local water sources and increase utility costs. Requiring single-source gra}�vater stub-out in
ne�v residential development facilitates the use of gray�vater for irrigation which in turn helps
address these water-related c]imate change impacts.
SECTION I❑ EFFECTIVE DATE
This ordinance will take effect and be in force thirty days after final passage but not before
January 1, 2014.
