<br />Revised July 2022 <br /> Page 2 of 10 <br /> <br />• A development plan/planning document <br />• Covered Projects which includes: <br />1. Construction of any City-Sponsored project <br />2. Construction of any new commercial/industrial building <br />3. Construction of any new residential unit(s) or mixed-use project <br />4. Renovation/Additions of any commercial or City-sponsored project that is 20,000 <br />gross square-feet or greater (but not including a renovation to a project that <br />consists solely of interior improvements to existing buildings) <br />5. Additions to any residential project that are 2,000 gross square-feet or greater <br />6. Addition to any residential project of any size if it has been less than five years <br />from the date of certificate of occupancy for original structure. <br />• All projects (which includes all the above listed project types) <br /> <br />It is possible for a project to fit multiple project types and all applicable regulations must be met. <br /> <br />All Project applicants should complete the Compliance column for each regulation (i.e., indicate <br />yes, no, or N/A). The Explanation column should note the plan sheets where the action is <br />shown in plan set, if applicable. It should also provide and explanation if it will not be achieved. <br /> <br />Submittal Requirements <br />This Checklist is required to accompany discretionary applications submittals as detailed in <br />submittal requirement handouts. The Checklist is designed to assist the applicant in identifying <br />the minimum CAP 2.0 and other applicable climate-focused requirements specific to a Project. <br />However, it may be necessary to supplement the completed Checklist with supporting materials, <br />calculations, or certifications to demonstrate compliance with CAP 2.0 and other requirements. <br />If the minimum CAP 2.0 and other applicable climate-focused requirements are not already <br />clearly committed to as part of the Project, the mandatory actions will be included as respective <br />project conditions of approval. <br /> <br />Please note, cumulative GHG emissions associated with construction from a land use <br />development project are generally orders of magnitude lower than the operational emissions <br />from a project because construction emissions are generally short in duration compared to the <br />project’s overall lifetime, and thus can be assessed qualitatively as part of related CEQA GHG <br />emissions analysis. However, some projects may have long construction periods or entail large <br />quantities of cut and fill that could result in construction related GHG emissions that may be <br />considered significant. Thus, the City retains the discretion on a project-by-project basis to <br />consider whether a project’s construction-related GHG emissions could be cumulatively <br />considerable and require more detailed quantitative CEQA GHG emissions analysis and <br />respective mitigation. The City also retains discretion to require additional analysis of GHG <br />emissions on a case-by-case basis and require additional climate mitigations.
