strategies: 1) To adopt and implement an EV Charger and Parking Ordinance for <br /> commercial properties; and 2) to develop partnerships with businesses and <br /> employers, particularly those with large fleets, to accelerate ZEV adoption. The <br /> proposed assumptions are consistent with those used by neighboring <br /> jurisdictions in their CAPs. Further, state and federal regulation, such as the <br /> Clean Fleets regulations that are accelerating markets for clean trucks and <br /> buses, and the California Air Resources Board's recent vote to affirm car sales of <br /> only ZEVs in the state by 2035, are expected to accelerate uptake of ZEVs <br /> thereby supporting these as reasonable assumptions. <br /> • Action P7: Community small-engine electrification. The CAP 2.0 modeling <br /> assumed a 50 percent reduction in lawn & garden (L&G) equipment emissions by <br /> 2030; this is proposed to be increased to a 95 percent reduction by 2030, and a <br /> 25 percent reduction from other off-road equipment (e.g., construction <br /> equipment). To support this action, an additional implementation strategy is <br /> proposed under this action, to conduct a feasibility study to identify and <br /> implement a pathway to reduce citywide offroad construction equipment GHG <br /> emissions by 50 percent (e.g., adding conditions of approval.). The more <br /> aggressive assumption is supported by the City's exploration of an ordinance to <br /> limit the use of gas-powered leaf blowers (and potentially similar small <br /> equipment), as well as external factors such as the expected effects of the <br /> State's ban on sale of gas-powered small equipment in coming years, and <br /> technology improvements in electric and battery-powered equipment. <br /> The above changes in modeling assumptions will necessitate minor adjustments to the <br /> stated GHG emissions reduction estimations in various places in the CAP 2.0. This is <br /> because the model accounts for interrelationships between actions to avoid any <br /> potential double counting of GHG reductions. The tracked changes are summarized <br /> below in Figure 3 and the entirety of the tracked changes were provided to the <br /> Committee on Energy and Environment on September 7, 2022. The clean version of the <br /> CAP 2.0 document (Exhibit A of Attachment 2) reflects the modifications. The GHG <br /> thresholds were developed using the corrected numbers reflected in Exhibit A of <br /> Attachment 2. <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br />
