CSAC approves Foster City apartment guide for rental properties
Summary
The Citizen Sustainability Advisory Committee approved a CSAC version of a Foster City apartment guide (targeting rental properties of four or more units) and agreed to coordinate final review with city housing staff and the city attorney; the motion passed with a recorded tally of 5 yes, 0 no, 1 abstain, 1 absent.
The committee considered a final CSAC version of a Foster City apartment guide intended to encourage sustainability practices in rental properties (four or more units). Staff explained they removed mandatory elements and framed the guide as a voluntary resource to encourage participation rather than shame property managers.
A motion to accept the CSAC apartment guide was made and seconded. The vote was recorded in the meeting as 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 abstention and 1 absent; staff will move the finalized CSAC version forward for further coordination with the city manager's office and the city attorney, and will engage relevant staff (Nori/Sofia) for next steps.
Committee members discussed the guide's target scope (rental apartments with a minimum of four units) and the need to avoid publishing personal information; they also proposed highlighting businesses and complexes that adopt green practices in CSAC communications.
