Environmental Checklist Greenhouse Gas Emissions General Plan Consistency Checklist 49 Table 9 Consistency with Applicable General Plan and CAP GHG Emission Reduction Strategies Strategy/Action Project Consistency City of San Leandro Climate Action Plan Goal 3.3: Increase residential, commercial and industrial renewable energy use Goal 3.4: Promote green building practices in both the new construction and remodel market Consistent. The project is required to comply with the 2019 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Non-residential Buildings and CALGreen, which require solar readiness on new residential buildings. Goal 4.1: Encourage development which promotes walkable communities Goal 4.3: Promote and accommodate alternative, environmentally friendly methods of transportation, such as walking and bicycling Consistent. The project site is adjacent to a bus stop on MacArthur Boulevard served by AC Transit Routes 34 and 35. These routes provide access to Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) trains and other regional transit options. Additionally, the project includes the provision of bicycle parking spaces on site. Goal 4.5: Encourage the use of fuel efficient vehicles, low carbon fuels and more efficient traffic operations Consistent. While the project does not include electric vehicle charging stations, it does include the provision of bicycle parking spaces, and is in a location in close proximity to transit, including buses and trains, which encourages the use of alternative transportation options. Goal 4.6: Increase and enhance urban green space Consistent. The project includes landscaping on site, including near the proposed bio-retention areas and the maintenance/replanting of street trees. Goal 5.1: Increase recycling and composting in the residential sector Goal 5.3: Promote waste reduction and material re-use in the community Consistent. The project includes the provision of recycling and composting services to each proposed townhome. City of San Leandro General Plan Goal OSC-7: Promote recycling, water conservation, green building, and other programs which reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create a more sustainable environment. Consistent. The project includes the provision of bicycle parking spaces, installation of energy-efficient plumbing fixtures (per compliance with CALGreen), and provision of recycling and composting bins to each townhome. Goal OSC-8: Promote the efficient use of energy and the increased use of renewable energy by San Leandro residents and businesses. Consistent. Refer to Section 6, Energy, regarding the efficient use of energy under the proposed project. Additionally, the project is required to comply with the 2019 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Non-residential Buildings and CALGreen, which require solar readiness on new residential buildings Policy EH-3.2: Transportation Control Measures. Promote strategies that help improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the necessity of driving. These strategies include more reliable public transportation, carpooling and vanpooling programs, employer transportation demand management (TDM) programs, better provisions for bicyclists and pedestrians, and encouraging mixed use and higher density development around transit stations. Consistent. The project site is adjacent to a bus stop on MacArthur Boulevard served by AC Transit Routes 34 and 35. These routes provide access to BART trains and other regional transit options. Additionally, the project includes the provision of bicycle parking spaces on site. Policy EH-3.4: Design, Construction, and Operation. Require new development to be designed and constructed in a way that reduces the potential for future air quality problems, such as odors and the emission of any and all air pollutants. This should be done by: Consistent. As described above, the project would comply with applicable CAP goals and policies.
