SECTION 1 The City Council hereby finds that additional energy conservation
and recycling of materials requirements are reasonably necessary due to the following
local climatic conditions:
As detailed in the City's 1996 Master Environmental Assessment (MEA), Santa
Monica's climate is primarily influenced by the Pacific Ocean and is characterized by
infrequent rainfall and winds which come from the west during the daytime and from the
north and northeast during the nighttime, with intermittent Santa Ana winds occurring
from September to March. As a result of the above, the City enjoys an extremely mild
climate. Average daytime temperatures range from highs of 75 degrees (F) in July,
August, and September to 64 degrees (F) in January and February. Overnight lows
vary from an average of 61 degrees (F) in January and February to 64 degrees (F) in
August. A below freezing temperature has never been recorded in the City. The City's
annual precipitation averages 12.5 inches. This temperate climate makes the City
uniquely suited for the proper operation of buildings designed for sustainable
development. Additionally, the City has excellent air quality and significant natural
resources including its three-mile beachfront. This beachfront is several hundred feet
wide - one of the widest stretches of beach in this part of southern California In
addition, due to local geographic and meteorological conditions, the City unlike most of
the South Coast Air Basin, seldom exceeds national_~iState ai~q~al~""""',
The decteased use of>nQn-renewable energy.......~s will'h",.protect ~iair and
water quality for the benefit of local fauna and flora and human health concerns.
Based on these local climatic conditions, the need to protect the local
environment through stricter development standards, and the cost effectiveness of the
