DRAFT CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
Request:
  Presentation and discussion of the proposed Climate Action Plan.  Commission and public comments are requested.

CEQA Status: 
In accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines (Sections 15168), the County is proposing to use the program level Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan Update (SCH# 2005102088, certified June 2008) as the EIR for the Climate Action Plan.  As discussed in a memorandum and initial study checklist dated January 28, 2011, this approach is consistent with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines because (1) the proposed plan is within the scope of the General Plan approved in 2008, and (2) the program EIR prepared for the General Plan Update adequately describes the activity for purposes of CEQA.  In addition, (3) the County has not identified any changes in the General Plan, changes in circumstances under which the General Plan Update was adopted, or new information of substantial importance that would necessitate subsequent environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.  A copy of the General Plan Update EIR may be reviewed during business hours at the offices of the Department of Conservation, Development and Planning, 1195 Third Street in Napa, or on the County’s website at http://www.countyofnapa.org/Pages/DepartmentDocuments.aspx?id=4294967660.  Reviewers are particularly directed to Section 3.4.4 of the Final EIR (on the website, see the document called “FEIR Responses Intro” and scroll to p. 3.0-49).   

Staff Recommendation:  Conduct a public hearing, discuss the proposal and provide direction to staff.  No formal action is requested at this time.
