Full Breakdown
' Unlike the Administrative Code chapter next door, which prints multiple local amendments, Upland's green building chapter carries no locally modified sections; the base CALGreen requirements as promulgated by the state, covering mandatory measures for planning and design, energy efficiency, water efficiency, material conservation, and indoor air quality, apply directly within city limits. The ordinance history shows the city has kept this adoption current through successive statewide code cycles: it was first codified by Ordinance 1882 in 2014, then updated to a newer edition by Ordinance 1935 in 2020, and again by Ordinance 1973 in 2023 to adopt the current 2022 edition. 080 apply to green-building-covered permits as they do to any other building permit.
Violations & Fines
Failing to meet the adopted CALGreen requirements on a permitted project is treated as a building-and-safety code violation subject to Chapter 1.22's administrative citation process, with a maximum fine of $130 for a first infraction, $700 for a second offense within 12 months, and $1,300 for each subsequent offense under § 1.22.040(B); uncorrected violations can also delay or block final building permit sign-off.
