FINAL DRAFT CLIMATE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
CEQA Status: Recommend the Planning Commission find that pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15168 the proposed project is within the scope of the previously certified 2008 General Plan Update program-level EIR prepared for the 2008 General Plan Update and it adequately describes the project for the purposes of CEQA, there have been no changes to the General Plan or program-level EIR, no changes to circumstances, and no new information of substantial importance that would necessitate supplemental environmental review.
Request: Napa County proposes to adopt a Climate Action Plan (CAP) to identify measures and actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions consistent with State and regional guidance. A CAP is a document that includes policies, measures, and strategies to improve the health, safety, mobility, and livability of the greater community. The objectives of a CAP are to reduce GHGs, streamline CEQA review by serving as a "qualified GHG reduction plan," and prioritize measures to comply with California environmental and land use planning laws. The CAP provides measures, also referred to as GHG reduction strategies in the sectors of building energy, on road transportation, solid waste, off road vehicles and equipment, agriculture, land use change, and wastewater as further described in Chapter 3 of the CAP.
This CAP provides a comprehensive roadmap to address the challenges of climate change in unincorporated Napa County. Acting on climate change means both reducing GHG emissions from local sources in the unincorporated county and helping the community to adapt to climate change and improve the communities' resilience to climate change over the long term.
The key components of the climate action planning process represented in this CAP are: a baseline GHG emissions inventory; GHG emissions forecasts and reduction targets; local GHG emissions and reduction strategies and measures; a climate change vulnerability assessment; and implementation and monitoring mechanisms.
Staff Recommendation: Consider the Final Draft CAP and forward a recommendation for adoption to the Board of Supervisors.
