My project proposal includes a pool. Does the pool need to be all-electric?

If the project applicant proposes a new residential home or multi-family building that includes a pool, spa, or other similar outdoor ancillary uses, the project would be required to be all-electric. Under this circumstance, the pool may utilize solar thermal pool heating. 

Proposed pools, spas, or other such ancillary uses to any existing residential buildings, including existing residential buildings that were subject to the all-electric ordinance when they were initially constructed, are not subject to the all-electric ordinance.
