Does the City of Costa Mesa have a green building program?
In 2007, the City formed a task force to take a closer look at sustainable building. The Costa Mesa “Green Team” was established to evaluate the feasibility of integrating sustainable building techniques in new publicly and privately developed projects as well as major retrofits. Task force members were compromised of various City staff members, as well as representatives of the community, and met to formulate a policy, which was submitted to and passed by, City Council, which was implemented on September 5, 2007, and ran through June 30, 2008.
