the years and the great success our community has had in the last few years with multiple iniatives in GHG reductions, the most significant being the rebate program approved by Council in October 2011 for residential and commercial energy programs. The community has proven through its successes that the plan we developed is supported and can reach the goals required. In summary, we are able to meet our reduction target with a buffer of 5,121 MT CO2e.

The implementation plan is divided into short, mid, and long term goals and strategies. The monitoring plan ensures that we have tracking systems in place to detect anomalies and implement course corrections as necessary. Progress toward the CAP goals will be monitored regularly, and a progress report will be provided to the City Manager annually. Additionally, an updated GHG inventory must be performed every five years to ensure that maximum GHG reductions are achieved and the plan meets current regulatory standards. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT Adoption of the CAP will put the City of Pleasanton on a path to achieving a more sustainable community. By adopting the CAP by reference in the Pleasanton General Plan, future development will be subject to the provisions of the CAP, while the CAP can be updated as needed to meet the City's greenhouse gas reduction targets without being subject to the State Planning Law requirements related to General Plan amendments.
