Findings. California Communities hereby finds and declares the following: <br />(a) The above recitals are true and correct. <br />(b) Energy conservation efforts, including the promotion of energy-related Authorized <br />Improvements to residential, commercial, industrial, or other real property, are necessary to <br />address the issue of global climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in <br />the County. <br />(c) Water conservation efforts, including the promotion of water-related Authorized <br />Improvements to residential, commercial, industrial, or other real property, are necessary to <br />address the issue of chronic water shortages in California. <br />(d) The upfront cost of making residential, commercial, industrial, or other real <br />property more energy and water efficient, along with the fact that most commercial loans for that <br />purpose are due on the sale of the property, prevents many property owners from installing <br />Authorized Improvements. <br />
