Sustainability & Environmental Responsibility

Sustainability is built into Provenance at the community, building, and landscape scale. The plan brings together walkable neighborhoods, open space, trails, bike connections, water-wise landscaping, energy-efficient design, and consistency with the Climate Action Plan to support a healthier, more resilient community. 

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

Infrastructure Designed as Open Space

Provenance’s stormwater system is planned as both essential infrastructure and a community amenity. The Nature Park and Greenways are designed to capture, detain, treat, and slowly release stormwater through seasonal water features, detention and water-quality basins, bioretention areas, bioswales, and landscaped open spaces. These features also create places for trails, seating, recreation, and connection with nature.

CLIMATE GOALS

A Greener, More Resilient Future

The plan is designed to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions at full buildout through efficient design, reduced vehicle dependence, renewable energy opportunities, water conservation, low-impact development stormwater strategies, and climate-resilient landscaping. 

Planned strategies include:

  • Walkable neighborhoods and connected bike and pedestrian routes
  • Integrated stormwater, detention, and water-quality features
  • Native and drought-resistant planting
  • Expanded trees and vegetation for shade, cooling, and carbon sequestration
  • Energy-efficient buildings and renewable energy opportunities
  • Water-efficient fixtures, irrigation, and rainwater collection

Together, these strategies help make Provenance a community where environmental responsibility, everyday wellness, and long-term resilience work together.
