2021 CLIMATE ACTION PLAN <br />ADDENDUM NO.1 TO THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />2. Project Description <br />RF-1: Residential energy retrofit financing. Increase education and outreach for existing energy <br />efficiency financing mechanisms, including PACE programs and utility programs. Explore the feasibility <br />of additional financial options, including a revolving loan program. (This is a supportive policy that does <br />not create its own GHG emission reductions.) <br />■ RF-2: Residential energy retrofit equity. Prioritize City -funded energy retrofit programs in majority <br />people of color census tracts or high energy cost burdened households. (This is a supportive policy that <br />does not create its own GHG emission reductions.) <br />• RF-3: Homeowner energy retrofits. Continue to promote energy efficiency programs and incentives <br />available to residential property owners. <br />■ RF-4: Rental energy retrofits. Work with landlords and tenants' groups to increase energy efficiency and <br />decrease energy costs in rental homes, including multi -family properties. Mitigate displacement risk by <br />strengthening tenant protections, including relocation assistance and right of return for tenants <br />temporarily displaced by housing retrofits. Consider methods such as the green lease' to address the <br />split incentive issue and prevent tenants paying for property improvements. <br />■ CF-1: Nonresidential energy retrofits. Improve energy efficiency in non-residential buildings, including <br />warehousing and manufacturing centers, through programs such as existing incentive programs. <br />■ CF-2: Leased commercial energy efficiency. Promote the Green Leases Toolkit and other mechanisms <br />to improve energy efficiency in tenant -occupied non-residential buildings. (This is a supportive policy <br />that does not create its own GHG emission reductions.) <br />CIF-3: Green Business program. Consider opportunities to expand the effectiveness of and participation <br />in the Alameda County Green Business program. (This is a supportive policy that does not create its own <br />GHG emission reductions.) <br />■ ME-1: Municipal energy retrofits. Explore opportunities for additional municipal energy efficiency <br />retrofits, including all -electric buildings and public lighting retrofits. <br />■ ME-2: Municipal renewable energy. Install additional renewable energy generation and energy storage <br />systems, including solar hot water, at City facilities as appropriate and feasible. <br />• ME-3: Municipal energy storage. Explore installation of battery storage systems and microgrids at City <br />facilities for backup energy sources. <br />• RE-1: East Bay Community Energy participation. Encourage San Leandro households and businesses to <br />switch from PG&E electricity supplies to East Bay Community Energy, and promote increased <br />participation in Renewable 100 tier for 100-percent renewable energy. <br />■ RE-2: Residential owner -occupied renewable energy. Promote greater adoption of renewable energy <br />generation and energy storage systems on owner -occupied new and existing homes. Leverage existing <br />solar financing, tax, and rebate opportunities, and consider new financial incentives as needed. <br />2 A green lease is a commercial lease that helps align tenant and landlord interests for investments in energy efficiency. Green <br />leases can take a variety of forms, but may include features such as cost sharing, requirements that tenants follow certain <br />energy -saving best practices, and commitments to obtain green building certifications. <br />Page 12 Place Works <br />
