BMP No. 9. Incorporate “heat island” treatments that include cool roofs, cool pavements, and/or strategically placed shade trees. Consistent. The proposed project would involve the placement of trees throughout the project site, which would serve to reduce the urban heat island effect. The proposed project would be consistent with this measure. Notes: Source: City of Pleasanton. 2009. 2005 Pleasanton 2025, 9.0 Air Quality and Climate Change. July 21.

City of Pleasanton Climate Action Plan The City’s current CAP contains several strategies aimed at reducing GHG emissions across the City of Pleasanton.58 The City’s CAP identifies policies that will achieve the State-recommended GHG reduction target of 15 percent below 2008 levels by the year 2020 and the locally adopted reduction goal of 15 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. The CAP provides goals, supporting strategies, and associated actions in the topical areas of energy, land use and transportation, solid waste minimization, water and wastewater, and community engagement. It should be noted that the City is currently undergoing an update to the CAP to demonstrate citywide GHG emission reduction strategies consistent with 2030 and 2050 legislative GHG emission reduction goals presented in Senate Bill 32 and Executive Order S-3-05, respectively.59 Nonetheless, the proposed project is analyzed against the applicable strategies of the current CAP in Table 16 to determine the proposed project’s consistency with general GHG reduction strategies adopted by the City. As shown therein, the proposed project would not conflict with the GHG reduction strategies contained in the City’s current CAP. Table 16: Project Consistency with Applicable GHG Reduction Goals and Supporting Actions from the City of Pleasanton CAP Applicable Goals and Supporting Actions Project Consistency Energy Goal 1: Reduce Energy Used by the Community Consistent. The State of California has adopted several regulations that will help the City achieve its reduction goal and are applicable to the proposed project. The proposed project would be subject to the latest Title 24 energy efficiency standards. Energy efficient buildings require less electricity; therefore, increased energy efficiency reduces potential fossil fuel consumption and decreases subsequent greenhouse gas emissions. Supporting Action EC1-1: Continue to implement and improve the City’s existing Green Building Ordinance for commercial buildings, according to the California Green 58 City of Pleasanton. 2012.
