2. Eliminate the particular measure which the City incorrectly included in emission reductions from future fuel price increases. This was considered a little bit on the leading edge with about 19,000 metric tons applied to the CAP, possibly because the City did not really have to do anything to get that reduction. The District was more comfortable with not having that in the CAP and having strategies instead. 3. Strengthen Mitigation Measure TDM2-9, a transportation demand management program. Staff felt it was important to act on one of the specific recommendations made, which was fairly insignificant in terms of what it requires the City to do. 4. Change "incentivize" to "require" in all land use measures addressing development of codes related to density, infill, mixed-use, and transit-oriented development (TOD). One of the City's goals from the beginning was not to have a CAP that was filled with new regulations but to collaborate with the community and the business community. Mr. Smith then displayed two pie charts, the first showing the initial draft CAP projections with Commercial and Municipal and Residential Energy adding up to four percent, and Public Education and Engagement at 13 percent; and the second showing the final CAP where Public Education and Engagement had been eliminated with most of it going into Energy Efficiency and Generation and some into Land Use and Transportation. Mr. Smith then presented the CAP adjustments made as follows: • Municipal development codes (TDM2-9) were modified to require new non-residential projects over a certain size and configuration to implement at TDM program capable to reducing weekday peak-period vehicle trips by at least 20 percent. • Calculations of the City's Green Building Ordinance (EC1-2) were corrected to require new and significantly remodeled buildings to incorporate measures from Build It Green (BIG) green building guidelines. • Implement PG&E Partnership Program (EC2-2), a multi-year integrated resource strategy that incorporates PG&E's Core, Third Party, Local Government Partnership, Demand Response, Clean Air Transportation, Distributed Generation, and other pertinent programs. • Lead and participate in Solar Cities Program (ER2-2), a customer-assistance program designed to facilitate the purchase and installation of photovoltaics and other energy-efficient technologies for residential, commercial, and municipal facilities. Mr. Smith then displayed a chart demonstrating the GHG Reduction Potential in both the Draft and Final CAP. He also presented a summary of the Draft CAP Projections and the Final CAP Projections. He noted that the City will still meet the AB32 target with a buffer of 5,121 MT CO2e. DRAFT EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 1/11/2012 Page 2 of 4
