<br /> Consolidated Plan CITY OF PLEASANTON 28 <br /> OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) <br /> <br />MA‐65 Hazard Mitigation ‐ 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3) <br /> <br />Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change. <br /> <br />Pleasanton recognized the State of California’s efforts in combating climate change that have <br />resulted in more frequent and higher intensity heat waves and wildfires, rising sea level, and <br />declining snowpack. <br /> <br />Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low‐ and moderate‐income <br />households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods. <br /> <br />The City adopted a Climate Action Plan in 2012 that provides a strategy to assist California in reducing <br />greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The plan describes goals, supporting strategies, and specific ground <br />actions to help the City achieve its goal of reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The plan <br />identifies transportation and residential, commercial, and industrial energy use as the primary sources <br />of the City’s GHG emissions. <br /> <br />California Assembly Bill 32 and Executive Order S-3-05, has established statewide GHG emission <br />reduction targets of 40-percent below 1990 emission levels by 2030 and 80-percent below 1990 <br />emission levels by 2050. Accounting for the new state laws, the Pleasanton City Council- approved its <br />2019-2020 Work Plan which includes preparation of an updated Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0). As with <br />Pleasanton’s 2012 Climate Action Plan, CAP 2.0 will continue to respond to the impacts of climate <br />change through local actions that significantly reduces the City’s greenhouse gas emissions as well as <br />closes the gap between GHG emission reduction targets and Pleasanton’s projected emissions. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 192 of 694
