RES 231376 Exhibit A - Addendum and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP)

meet the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation ("RHNA"). The SEIR conservatively analyzes impacts of the development of all the potential sites for rezoning in order to give the City flexibility to select the appropriate opportunity sites to meet the Project objectives. The 17 potential sites for rezoning are listed in Table 3-3 at page 3-14 of the Draft SEIR, and additional information pertaining to Table 3-3 is included on page 2-2 of the Final SEIR. From those 17 sites, the City Council has identified sites 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 13 as those to be rezoned to expand its inventory of land available for residential development. In addition to the rezoning of these sites, the applicable General Plan land use designations of and/or Specific Plan(s) associated with these sites will also be amended prior to the City Council's consideration and adoption of the Housing Element update to permit high density residential uses (minimum of 30 dwelling units per acre) which would provide housing opportunity sites with sufficient density to develop lower-income housing units. The General Plan land use designations for sites 2, 3 and 4 will also be amended prior to the City Council's consideration and adoption of the Housing Element update to allow mixed-use development. Proposed Climate Action Plan The second component of the SEIR is the proposed City of Pleasanton Climate Action Plan ("CAP"). The CAP serves to outline strategies, goals, and actions to reduce municipal and communitywide GHG emissions. The CAP is structured to ensure that the City does its part to meet the mandates of California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), which directs the state to reduce state-wide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The CAP is based on the California Air Resources Board (GARB) recommendation that in order to achieve these reductions, local governments target 2020 municipal and communitywide GHG emissions to be 15 percent below 2005 GHG emissions levels. The Draft CAP is designed to respect the City's General Plan vision and its goal to become the "greenest" city in California. While several initiatives at the state level will help the City reduce GHG emissions, they alone will not be sufficient to meet the 2020 target recommended by GARB. The CAP provides a roadmap for the City to be proactive in reducing GHGs through a schedule of local actions, designed to enable the City to achieve a 15 percent reduction in GHGs below 2005 levels by 2020. The City's 2005 baseline emissions are estimated at 770,844 metric tons (MT) of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e). The City's 2020 target of 15 percent below 2005 baseline equates to total annual emissions of 655,218 MT CO2e, a reduction of 115,626 MT CO2e below the 2005 baseline. The Draft CAP includes dozens of strategies and actions measures for reducing GHG emissions associated with transportation and land use, energy consumption and generation, water use and wastewater treatment, and solid waste disposal. For each emissions sector, the Climate Action Plan presents goals, strategies, and specific actions for reducing emissions, along with quantified cost-benefit impacts. An implementation and monitoring plan is also provided. 2. Proiect Obiectives The proposed Housing Element is an update to the existing adopted General Plan Housing Element, which was adopted by the City Council April 2003. The proposed Housing Element is a statement by the City of its current and future housing needs and proposed actions to facilitate the provision of housing to meet those needs at all income levels,
