and foundation drains. Businesses are encouraged, however, to construct on-site surface
drainage systems to include the use of permanent vegetative filters to detain and filter
stormwater before it enters the public stormwater system. Periodic cleaning and removal
of sediments from the public stormwater ponds will be necessary, and the costs will be
assessed upon the benefiting properties in an equitable and fair manner.

Restrictive & Protective Covenants

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Points to note:

• No chain, no parking allowed

• Secure your bikes properly and do not leave any valuable items on them

• Bicycle shall park in designated bike parking only

• Using bicycles as transportation is implemented to reduce carbon footprints

Green mobility

Efficient urban transport is fundamental to citizens’ quality of life and to economic

development. Yet current reliance on the internal combustion engine is a major source of
air and noise pollution and negative impacts on health and the environment. The Green
Factor ordinance commercial projects to employ various strategies to increase horizontal
and vertical green space. Strategies are weighted based on their benefit to the
environment, the urban experience, and the public good.

Local actions on climate change

Fighting climate change is one of every city’s long-term sustainability goals. The
increase in the frequency of extreme weather such as heat waves and floods underscores
the importance of action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for climate
change impacts.

Energy efficiency

Green buildings that require less energy for lighting, heating and cooling through clever
use of glass and innovative air flow systems, are an important component of the effort to
achieve efficient and sustainable cities. The Spectrum City promotes green buildings
through several measures including the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive,
which sets minimum standards requiring to make new buildings more energy efficient.

Resource efficiency
Spectrum City offers an opportunity to manage our use of resources better, use them
efficiently and cut down on waste and pollution. For example, studies have found that per
capita consumption of resources such as energy tends to be lower in urban areas, because
of efficiencies achievable in areas with higher population densities.
