Transit-Oriented Development has been promoted through the adoption of the San <br />Leandro General Plan 2035 and approvals of transit-oriented development entitlements and <br />zoning changes, as well as completion of various transportation improvement projects and <br />bicycle/pedestrian planning. <br />Milestone #5, to monitor and evaluate emissions reductions, has been carried out on a <br />five-year cycle since 2005. San Leandro’s 2010 greenhouse gas emissions were inventoried <br />in 2014 with assistance from StopWaste and PG&E. In 2016, through a grant from the East <br />Bay Energy Watch and the Local Government Commission, the City obtained the services of <br />an AmeriCorps/CivicSpark fellow, Ben Davenport, who completed the City’s first in-house <br />greenhouse gas emissions inventory for municipal and community-wide emissions for the year <br />2015. The results of this inventory are presented in detail in the attached 2015 Community <br />and Municipal Emissions Inventory report. <br />Staff used the ICLEI methodology, which complies with the Global Protocol for <br />Community-Scale Emissions (GPC) standards. This enabled the City to fulfill its obligations to <br />the Global Covenant of Mayors via reporting these emissions to the Carbon Disclosure Project <br />(CDP) in May 2017. A more detailed methodology for accounting and emissions factors is <br />available in the Appendix. <br />Also included in this update is an in-depth assessment of climate hazards that are expected <br />due to changing climate conditions already underway. In 2016, the services of a consultant, <br />FourTwentySeven Climate Solutions, were sponsored by StopWaste to create Climate <br />Hazard Assessments for the cities of Albany, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, <br />Piedmont and San Leandro to promote a consistent approach to incorporating adaptation and <br />resilience into climate planning in Alameda County. <br />The resulting San Leandro Climate Hazard Assessment report will inform the City of San <br />Leandro’s future adaptation strategies and has already helped in the completion of its Local <br />Hazard Mitigation Plan and reporting to the Global Covenant of Mayors. The Assessment will <br />also assist San Leandro in obtaining funding for resiliency efforts and for federal funding from <br />agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA.) The detailed report <br />is attached and a summary analysis is presented in this staff report. <br />This summary report omits data tables and graphics. Please refer to the attached reports, San <br />Leandro Community and Municipal Emissions Inventory for 2015 and the San Leandro <br />Climate Hazard Assessment, for the full set of data tables, graphics, and citations for data <br />presented in the narrative below. <br />Analysis <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/11/2017 <br />20
