3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST • Establishing targets for transportation -related GHG emissions for regions throughout California and pursuing policies and incentives to achieve those targets. Adopting and implementing measures pursuant to existing state laws and policies, including California's clean car standards, heavy-duty truck measures, and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. • Creating targeted fees, including a public goods charge on water use, fees on high global warming potential gases, and a fee to fund the administrative costs of the State of California's long-term commitment to AB 32 implementation. In May 2014, CARB released and subsequently adopted the First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan to identify the next steps in reaching the goals of AB 32 and evaluate the progress made between 2008 and 2012. According to this update, California is on track to meet the near - term 2020 GHG limit and is well -positioned to maintain and continue reductions beyond 2020. This update also reported the trends in GHG emissions from various emissions sectors (e.g., transportation, building energy, agriculture) (CARB 2014). On December 14, 2017, CARB adopted the 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan (2017 Scoping Plan), which lays out the framework for achieving the mandate of Senate Bill (SB) 32 (2016), described below, to reduce statewide GHG emissions to at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by the end of 2030 (CARB 2017). The 2017 Scoping Plan includes guidance to local governments in Chapter 5, including plan -level GHG emissions reduction goals and methods to reduce communitywide GHG emissions. In its guidance, CARB recommends that local governments evaluate and adopt robust and quantitative locally appropriate goals that align with the statewide per capita targets and the State's sustainable development objectives and develop plans to achieve the local goals. CARB (2017a) further states that "it is appropriate for local jurisdictions to derive evidence -based local per capita goals [or some other metric that the local jurisdiction deems appropriate, such as mass emissions or per service population] based on local emissions sectors and population projections that are consistent with the framework used to develop the statewide per capita targets." Senate Bill 32 In August 2016, Governor Brown signed SB 32 (Amendments to California Global Warming Solutions Action of 2006), which extends California's GHG reduction programs beyond 2020. SB 32 amended the California Health and Safety Code to include Section 38566, which contains language to authorize CARB to achieve a statewide GHG emissions reduction of at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by no later than December 31, 2030. SB 32 codified the targets established by Executive Order B-30-15 for 2030, which set the next interim step in the State's continuing efforts to pursue the long-term target expressed in Executive Orders S-3-05 and B-30-15 of 80 percent below 1990 emissions levels by 2050. Other Legislation Table 3.7-2 provides a brief overview of the other California legislation relating to climate change that may directly and/or indirectly affect the emissions associated with the proposed project. 1388 Bancroft Avenue Project City of San Leandro Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration November 2018 3.0-36
