Violations & Fines
Because Chapter 20.26 folds CALGreen into the city's own building regulations, a project that does not meet the adopted standards, including the EV charging infrastructure provisions the city added in §§ 20.26.040-.050, is treated the same as noncompliance with any other Chapter 20.04 technical code requirement: the Building Division can withhold plan approval, permits or final inspection sign-off until the project meets the standard.
