Planning Community Development Department Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory

Planning & Community Development Department Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory City Council Meeting November 18, 2013

Background Planning & Community Development Department • State Action > In 2005: Reduce statewide GHGs to 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 > In 2006: Directed the California Air Resources Board to prepare a plan to achieve the target > In 2008: Established methods for cities to achieve statewide reduction targets > For Pasadena this target is a 15% reduction in emissions compared to the proposed 2009 baseline level 2

Background Planning & Community Development Department > In 2009: Greenhouse Gas Emissions must be analyzed as part of the CEQA process • Local Action > In 2006 City establishes policy to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Green City Action Plan > In 2009, the City drafted a GHG Inventory & Reduction Plan (Now called a Climate Action Plan) 3

Background Planning & Community Development Department • Issues raised in 2009: > The complexity and methodology of the Inventory > The Inventory for Rose Bowl was high > The Inventory was higher than other cities > The Inventory needed coordination with the General Plan update • Separated the GHG Inventory from the Reduction Plan and used ICLEI program and State protocols 4

Background Planning & Community Development Department • In 2011, staff gathered data for emission inventory • In 2012, inventory results were developed into a report • In 2013, Emissions Inventory presented to EAC, Planning Commission and MSC – Unanimously recommended approval • Climate Action Plan to follow 5

GHG Inventory Purpose Planning & Community Development Department • Purpose of GHG Emissions Inventory: > Provides understanding of Pasadena’s major GHG sources and greatest opportunities for reductions > Establishes baseline for tracking emissions trends, setting targets, and assessing progress > Describes GHG emissions accounting and reporting principles > Helps establish a basis for developing mitigation strategies based on largest sources > Does not include criteria area pollution (e. g. particulates, ground-level ozone, etc. ), which are not GHGs 6

Inventory Overview Planning & Community Development Department • Baseline year of 2009 due to accuracy of info • Consistent with State-recommended protocols > ICLEI Local Government Operations Protocol (2010) > ICLEI Community Protocol (2012) • Coordinated with General Plan and City traffic model • Emissions for electric power from PWP calculated separately using Air Resources Board principles 7

Inventory Overview Planning & Community Development Department • Includes municipal operations and communitywide inventories • 2020 and 2035 forecasts • Additional best practices for potential inclusion in future Climate Action Plan 8

Inventory Results Planning & Community Development Department • Community Total = 2, 052, 701 MT CO 2 e • Municipal Total = 121, 811 MT CO 2 e Community 94% 9 Municipal 6%

Municipal Inventory Results Planning & Community Development Department Municipal Emissions: 121, 811 MT CO 2 e Buildings & Facilities 20% Electric Power 60% Streetlights/Traffic Signals 7% Employee Commute 5% Vehicle/Transit Fleet 4% Rose Bowl/Parade 3% Water Delivery 1% Solid Waste 0% >1% 10

Community Inventory Results Planning & Community Development Department Community Emissions 2, 052, 701 MT CO 2 e Solid Waste Water Delivery 1% 1% Residential 16% Transportation 51% 11 Commercial/ Industrial 31%

Community Forecast Planning & Community Development Department GHG Emissions (MT CO 2 e) 2 900 000 2 700 000 2 500 000 2 367 191 15% 6% 2 186 122 Business-as. Usual Forecast 2 100 000 2 052 701 1 900 000 1 700 000 1 500 000 2009 1 744 796 2020 15% Reduction 2035 Year 12 Baseline Emissions

Next Step Planning & Community Development Department • After adoption of the GHG Inventory by the City Council, next step is to develop a Climate Action Plan 13

Climate Action Planning & Community Development Department • City wants to use a Climate Action Plan to mitigate GHG impacts of future projects • Climate Action Plan would: > Demonstrate mitigation of GHG emissions > Integrate with the General Plan and other City policies > Provide analytical and regulatory predictability 14

Climate Action Planning & Community Development Department • Plan Elements: > GHG inventory and forecast > Reduction target > Measures to meet target > Monitoring mechanism > Adopted in public process following environmental review • GHG Emissions Inventory is first step in developing a Climate Action Plan > Staff would return to the Council and other bodies with a draft of the Plan 15

Recommendation Planning & Community Development Department 1. Find that the adoption of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 2. Adoption of the GHG Emissions Inventory 16
