File Number: 17-410 accurately measured in 2010. Substantive increases in city emissions have are only been noted in one sector: the city’s vehicle fleet (representing 24% of emissions) increased by 20% since 2005. Staff is taking a closer look at the data associated with these percentages, as the number of fleet vehicles/mobile equipment has stayed flat between 2005-2015, and the State-mandated diesel retrofits have been installed prior to 2010. Conversely, Streetlights and Traffic Signals show reductions of 18% since 2005, due to the partial conversion of some streetlights (14%) and all traffic signals to LEDs in 2012. The remaining 86% of streetlights are being retrofitted to smart controllers and LED light fixtures in 2017 through a guaranteed energy savings contract with Climatec, as are City buildings/parks interior/exterior lighting, which will result in greater reductions in emissions in the next inventory. Climate Hazard Assessment The climate hazard analysis covers the following likely scenarios that climate change may have on our community. San Leandro’s climate is projected to grow hotter and experience fluctuations in precipitation. The analysis also finds that rising sea levels may inundate important city and community assets. The exposure to the hazards examined in the attached Climate Hazard Assessment include: High exposure: ·Inland Flooding: Significant exposure during 100-year storm (1% annual chance) with increasing exposure and risk during 500-year storms (0.2% annual chance). ·Wildfire: Some assets are located in high fire hazard severity zones or are in close proximity to very high fire hazard severity zones. Medium exposure: ·Sea Level Rise: Significant exposure likely by mid-century with a 5-year (20% chance) storm surge, a combination of permanent and temporary inundation equivalent to 36 inches of sea level rise. ·Temperature Change: Increase in the number of extreme heat days ·Rainfall-induced Landslides: important assets in a few landslide hazard zones. Low exposure: ·Precipitation: Limited change in overall rainfall totals. In summary, the Climate Hazards Assessment found that San Leandro will likely be affected by the combination of sea level rise, high tides and flooding along the shoreline and through the southwest portion of the city, which threaten to limit mobility and damage amenities and industry that are important to San Leandro and the regional economy. However, the most severe impacts will be seen in the long term, when projected temperature increases and the frequency of very hot days will impact a broader set of the city’s assets and population, Page 5 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/11/2017 23
