Initial Study Strategy MC -2: Enhance sustainable production and reduce consumption S5 Environmentally preferable purchasing policy: Adopt City environmentally Secondary preferable purchasing policy. Include alternatives for the most carbon -intensive materials that the City purchases, such as building materials (e.g., concrete, metals, etc.). S6 Embodied carbon reduction plan: Participate and support a regional Embodied Secondary Carbon Reduction Plan (i.e., considering the footprint of the material including resources needed to produce the materials) to reduce the carbon content of materials that include a variety of approaches, for example whole building lifecycle analysis for new construction. Strategy NS -1: Increase and optimize carbon sequestration and improve ecosystem resilience P13 Urban Forest Master Plan: Develop and implement an Urban Forest Master Plan 2030: 73,253 increasing carbon sequestration through trees. The plan should aim to protect and 2045: 195,340 increase tree canopy, include a planting program, require climate adapted plantings for certain projects, and create a community planting guide. P14 Soil management carbon sequestration projects: Increase carbon sequestration 2030: 621 on public lands by implementing carbon sequestration projects on City property 2045: 621 (e.g., soil at parks) and reducing use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. Increase carbon sequestration on private lands by increasing the awareness of and subsidizing the cost of compost and encouraging the use of compost exceeding water efficient landscape ordinance (WELD) standards. S7 Carbon sequestration research and tracking: Work with regional partners to Secondary develop methods to track carbon sequestration in the urban landscape. Stay apprised of methods to track carbon sequestration and technological advancements available that mechanically and naturally captures carbon and/or remove carbon. Water Resources A Strategy WR -1: Improve water supply and increase conservation P15 Water efficiency and retrofits: Decrease community water use by expanding Negligible (not incentives for retrofitting inefficient water fixtures and further incentivize native quantified) and drought tolerant landscape retrofits. Strategy WR -2: Improve stormwater resilience S8 Green Stormwater Infrastructure Plan: Participate and support regional Green Secondary Stormwater Infrastructure Planning efforts that builds off and supports the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to ensure a sustainable approach for managing stormwater runoff (e.g., incorporating green roofs, rainwater catchment, etc.).
