These programs both apply to residential and <br />commercial property alike, but this report focuses on the properties that will be impacted by AB <br />1572 rather than on single-family residential properties. <br /> <br />Zone 7 currently offers a lawn conversion rebate of $1 per square foot up to a total rebate of <br />$6,000 and is a smart irrigation system upgrade of up to $3,000 for commercial and multifamily <br />properties. <br /> <br />In addition to the Zone 7 rebate, the City of Pleasanton offers a lawn conversion rebate of <br />$0.75 per square foot, which, combined with the irrigation rebate, could total up to $4,000. The <br />City is evaluating options for refining the process, making it more enticing to property owners, <br />and getting the word out regarding the rebate. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />This item advances the Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0) in Natural Systems by improving <br />ecosystem resiliency and Community Resilience and Wellbeing by reducing our dependency <br />on water. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />Not applicable, as this item is a routine update regarding City business. <br /> <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />This item advances the Citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing in Our <br />Environment, Strategy 7 – Continue to invest in parks, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure, <br />and public art to improve traffic safety, promote climate resilience, and increase equitable <br />access to cultural and recreational opportunities. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />None. <br /> <br />Prepared by: Submitted by: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Matthew Gruber, Landscape <br />Architect <br />Heidi Murphy, Director of Library and <br />Recreation <br /> <br />Gerry Beaudin, City <br />Manager <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
