Reso 2021-113 Adopt 2021 CAP and Addendum to 2035 General Plan

Home

Public °ewe,,, Hearing Draft notwithstanding the project's compliance with specific strategies in this CAP, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared for the project. This 2021 CAP meets the CEQA Guidelines and commitments, as follows: • Quantifies emissions, both existing and projected over a specified time period, resulting from activities within a defined geographic area. • Establishes a level, based on substantial evidence, below which the contribution of emissions from activities covered by the plan would not be cumulatively considerable. This CAP identifies three tGrgetsGHG reduction goals, consistent with State guidance and provides substantial evidence for achievement of the 2020 and 2030 reduction goals consistent with adopted State targets and a pathway to continue and accelerate reductions beyond 2030 toward the City's aspirational 2050 goal.: Re dU Ge emissieRs try 25 P nt holm.., 2005 levels by 2029 Pork iGo o Rq 0 S S ic try 40 p nt boL.u, 9_005 1ave1s by 2030 • Identifies and analyzes the emissions resulting from specific actions or categories of actions anticipated within the geographic area. • Specifies strategies or a group of strategies, including performance standards that, if implemented on a project -by -project basis, substantial evidence demonstrates they would collectively achieve the specified emissions level. • Establishes a mechanism to monitor the Plan's progress toward achieving specific levels and to require amendment if the plan is not achieving those levels. • Includes an environmental review of the CAP in the form of an Addendum to the General Plan Environmental Impact Report. Bay Area Air Quality Management District The Bay Area Quality Management District (BAAQMD) is the air district with jurisdiction over San Leandro and is responsible for planning air quality management within the Bay Area. Released in 2017, the latest update to BAAQMD's Clean Air Plan provides a regional strategy to protect public health and the climate via continued progress toward all State and federal air quality standards, and to eliminate health risk disparities from exposure to air pollution among Bay Area communities. The Clean Air Plan defines a vision for transitioning the region to the post -carbon economy needed to achieve ambitious GHG reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 and provides a regional climate protection strategy that will put the Bay Area on a pathway to achieve those GHG reduction targets.
