strategy (the terms are often used interchangeably) is typically a separate document <br />from the General Plan, but may be prepared more efficiently if it is completed at <br />the same time as the General Plan Update is underway. In this optional task, the <br />consultant team would update San Leandro's adopted CAP into a "qualified" GHG <br />strategy, bringing it into conformance with current State and BAAQMD guidance. <br />Once the City has a qualified GHG reduction strategy in place, future individual <br />projects that are consistent with the measures in the strategy are excused from <br />having to do their own GHG analysis in the project -specific EIR. <br />The consultant team would: <br />♦ Update/adjust the 2008-2009 inventory in the adopted CAP, based on <br />assumptions, to a current baseline. <br />♦ Prepare a 2020 Forecast of GHG emissions under a "business as usual" (BAU) <br />scenario, based on the traffic model and VMT data being used for the General <br />Plan and its EIR, as described in Task 4.1, above. <br />♦ Assist the City in selecting a target for GHG emissions reductions (e.g. <br />reductions vs. per capita reductions, reductions from existing vs. reductions <br />from BAU). This may be the same target in the adopted CAP, or a new target. <br />♦ Propose a menu of potential GHG emissions reduction strategies in a number <br />of sectors: transportation, land use, energy use, water conservation, solid waste <br />reduction, etc. These will be drawn from the adopted CAP to the maximum <br />extent possible. <br />♦ Prepare a 2020 Forecast of reduced GHG emissions that would be achieved <br />by individual measures that the City elects to consider/adopt, as well as an <br />additional future year forecast beyond 2020 (future year to be determined in <br />consultation with the City and BAAQ)M). <br />♦ Re -run the model if the suite of reduction measures changes after public <br />deliberations to see whether the City will still achieve its identified target. <br />This scope assumes that the qualified GHG reduction strategy will be substantially <br />based on the adopted CAP in its format and content. The minimum revisions <br />necessary would be made to bring the adopted CAP into compliance with current <br />requirements. <br />
