2007 Ucluelet Sustainable Energy Policies

Although Ucluelet is a small community of only 1800 people, we believe our development
policies have made a difference in terms of creating sustainable energy consumption and
prevention of climate change through the use of policies within Ucluelet's Official Community
Plan. Although it is not uncommon to see sustainable policies in OCP's, we believe Ucluelet is
unique in terms of its ability to implement sustainable energy policies on abroad scale. Rather
than submitting one particular project, the District of Ucluelet would like to submit the following
sustainable energy initiatives which have been implemented as land use policy:

  1. Mixed Use Zoning (Comprehensive Development)
  2. Alternative Development Standards
  3. Smart Growth initiatives
  4. Density innovation
  5. District Energy Audit
  6. Implementation of LEED guidelines
  7. GEM Car transportation
  8. Wave power Initiative
