A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK ADOPTING AN NEGATIVE

DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND APPROVING THE CITY OF BURBANK GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION PLAN UPDATE (Project No. 22-0000935)

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS:

A. The City Council of the City of Burbank at its meeting of February 19, 2013, adopted a Resolution certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Burbank2035 General Plan (SCH No. 2010021004); adopting findings pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); adopting a Statement of O verriding Considerations; adopting the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; approving the Burbank2035 General Plan (Project No. 06- 0200995); and adopting the Burbank2035 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (GGRP) (Project No. 10-0007318).

B. The Planning Board of the City of Burbank at its regular meeting of October 28, 2019, received an update on the GGRP and provided recommendations to incorporate in the GGRP Update (Exhibit 1 of Attachment 1).

C. The City Council of the City of Burbank at its regular meeting of November 19, 2019, received the update on the GGRP and provided recommendations to incorporate in the GGRP Update.

D. The GGRP Update is a planning document that seeks to establish strategies for reducing municipal and community-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions consistent with the State’s requirement to meet the GHG reduction goals as stipulated in California Assembly Bill 32, California Senate Bill 32, and Executive Order B -55-18. The GGRP Update builds on the goals and policies of the Burbank2035 General Plan and complements the State’s objectives to address climate change.

E. Guided by the framework set forth in the Burbank2035 General Plan, the GGRP Update implements General Plan Air Quality and Climate Change Element Goal 3, Reduction of GHG Emissions, and associated Policies 3.1 and 3.2. • Policy 3.1 establishes the target for Burbank to reduce communitywide GHG emissions by at least 15 percent from 2013 levels by 2020; and • Policy 3.2 establishes the goal to reduce emissions by at least 30 percent from 2013 levels by 2035.

F. The GGRP Update, including this target and goal, are consistent with and meets the requirements of all applicable le gislative mandates and executive orders .

These include, but are not limited to the following: California Senate Bill 375; California Executive Order S-3-05; California Assembly Bill 32; California Climate Change Scoping Plan; California Climate Change Scoping Plan Update (2013); California Senate Bill 32; California Climate Change Scoping Plan (2017); California Executive Order B -55-18; Assembly Bill 197 (State Air Resources Board Greenhouse Gases Regulations); Senate ATTACHMENT 1-2

Bill 350 (Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015); Senate Bill 100 (100% Clean Energy Act of 2018); California Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan of 2008; Senate Bill 1275 (Charge Ahead Initiative); Assembly Bill 14 93 (Pavley Bill); and Senate Bill 97 (CEQA Guidelines for Addressing GHG Emissions).

G. The GGRP Update, includes the following main goals:

1. Reduce GHG emissions to 49 percent below 2010 levels by 2030 (Senate Bill 32 target year);

2. Reduce GHG emissions to 66 percent below 2010 levels by 2035 (General Plan horizon year); and,

3. Achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 (Executive Order B-55-18 target year).

Therefore, the City can meet these guidelines by reducing its fair share of emissions by 86,555 MT CO2e by 2030, 232,235 MT CO2e by 2035, and 531,203 MT CO2e by 2045.

H. The GGRP Update is also intended to be a qualified GHG Reduction Plan and meets the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines § 15183.5 for development streamlining opportunities for discretionary projects.

I. The City, through a community survey, public virtual meetings, community stakeholder meetings, board and commission meetings, public events, and City Council meetings have solicited and considered community issues, comments, and recommendations on the proposed GGRP Update.

J. The City published a Notice of Availability and Intent to adopt a Negative Declaration for the GGRP Update on March 9, 2022. This began a 30-day public comment period that ended on Monday, April 11, 2022.

K. The Planning Board considered the information contained in the GGRP Update, Initial Study, and Negative Declaration, Project No. 22- 0000935, as presented to the Board at its March 14, 2022, meeting.

L. The Planning Board recommended the City Council adopt the Negative Declaration and approve the GGRP Update, Project No. 22-0000935, as presented to the Board as its March 14, 2022, meeting.

M. Between March 13 and March 24, 2022, the City received comments on the Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND).

N. On April 21, 2022, the City responded to the comments and said response to comments were included in the City Council staff report for this Project.

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK RESOLVES:

1. Pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines (Public Resources Code, Division 13 and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3), the City has evaluated potential environmental effects of the GGRP Update through the preparation of the Initial Study (Exhibit 2 of Attachment 1). The GGRP Update is applicable citywide. The Initial Study found that there would be either no impact or a less than significant impact on all resource categories with the implementation of the Project . In addition, projects implemented in support of the GGRP Update would be reviewed for consistency with the General Plan, other applicable regulatory land use actions, and would be subject to any required environmental assessment that would be completed prior to approval of the project. Therefore, the City Council has determined that the GGRP Update will not create a substantial environmental effect as defined by CEQA and hereby adopts the Negative Declaration (Exhibit 2 of Attachment 1 ). Furthermore, the City Council directs staff to prepare and file the Notice of Determination with the Los Angeles County Clerk within five working days of the execution of this Resolution and approval of the Project and with the California Office of Planning and Research.

2. The GGRP Update, Project No. 22-0000935, is hereby approved and adopted with its associated Negative Declaration, consistent with the Burbank2035 General Plan.

Background
The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (GGRP)
Update is a long-range planning document that
builds off of the 2013 GGRP and guides the City
towards long-term emission reductions in
accordance with the State’s goals. The GGRP
Update analyzes current (2019) emission sources
within the City, forecasts future (2030, 2035, and
2045) emissions, and establishes emission
reduction targets that align with California’s
long-term goals (See Inventory, Forecast
and Targets and Appendix C).

This GGRP Update is Burbank’s roadmap to
achieving the City’s 2030 target and State
mandated goal of 40 percent below 1990 levels
by 2030 and demonstrates substantial progress
towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.

The GGRP Update also includes a framework for
implementation and monitoring emission
reduction activities, and further promotes
adaptation and resilience. The plan is intended
to be a qualified GHG Reduction Plan and meets
the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section
15183.5(b), see Figure 1.
2013 GGRP
On February 19, 2013, the Burbank City Council
adopted the GGRP, which is a standalone
planning document that accompanies Chapter 2,
Air Quality and Climate Change Element, of the
Burbank 2035 General Plan. The 2013 GGRP
established a baseline greenhouse gas (GHG)
emission inventory for 2010 and forecast
emissions for 2020 and 2035 (See Inventory,
Forecast, and Targets, for a discussion of the
2010 inventory and for more information on
how it is integrated into this GGRP Update).

Additionally, the 2013 GGRP enabled
development streamlining opportunities for
discretionary projects under the CEQA
2 ATTACHMENT 1-14
EXHIBIT 1
through 2020 and serves as the foundation for
this GGRP Update.

Burbank’s Vision
As recognized in the 2013 GGRP, climate change
and the associated effects are real and are
already being felt locally, with projections
demonstrating that the impacts will become
more extreme over the next century without a
collective global effort to actively make real
change and reduce GHG emissions. Therefore,
this GGRP Update aims to build off of the 2013
GGRP and encourage policies and practices that
protect the environment, enhance the quality of
life for residents in Burbank, encourage equity in
decision-making practices, support a stable and
resilient economy, and continue to reduce the
City’s emissions consistent with California’s
goals. To achieve these goals, the plan provides a
set of updated measures for Burbank to reduce
its emissions, mitigate and adapt to climate
change risks, establish a more resilient
community, and lead the way toward a more
sustainable future. The key components of a
sustainable future for Burbank include:
▪ Social Equity – Protecting those most
vulnerable, including, disadvantaged
communities and small businesses, against
the impacts of climate change by creating a
healthier and more resilient City.
▪ Economic Resilience – Making the City and
economy more resilient to unpredictable
climate emergencies, providing more efficient
and affordable utilities, creating clean energy
jobs, and promoting resource conservation.
▪ High-Quality of Life – Enhancing the quality of
life for all members of the community by
working towards a shared and collaborative
civic identity that prioritizes safety, security,
and diversity.
▪ Community Involvement – Inviting all
Burbank residents, business owners, and
stakeholders to actively play a role in the
climate planning process provides an
opportunity for those who are interested and
invested to actively influence the decision-
making in our City. It is our collective goal to
engage in and promote activities that
minimize the potential environmental, social,
and economic impacts of climate change.
▪ Collaborative Partnerships – Working
together with stakeholders that have the
ability to support others in the community
make decisions that are guided by science and
aim to reduce emissions while creating a
more sustainable, resilient, and equitable
community.

COVID-19 and
Climate Action
Planning
We are collectively facing a unique public health
emergency related to the severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-
2) and spread of the associated coronavirus
disease (COVID-19). The COVID-19 pandemic has
disrupted our daily lives and both the local and
national economies, bringing the intersection of
climate change and public health to the public
eye. The pandemic also shines the light on how
disasters disproportionately affect already-
vulnerable communities. Disadvantaged
communities, already suffering from exposure to
higher levels of toxic air pollution, are more
vulnerable to respiratory disease and are dying
at disproportionately higher rates from the
pandemic. Similarly, the economic impacts have
affected many and are increasing the economic
divide across California.1 At the same time, global

1. https://calmatters.org/economy/2020/07/california-covid- deepening-income-inequality-data/
33 ATTACHMENT 1-15
EXHIBIT 1
response to the pandemic has shown that an
extreme reaction to disasters of this magnitude is
both possible and necessary. We can and should
strive for a future with cleaner air; safer homes
and public spaces; more secure, high-paying jobs;
and reliable access to renewable resources.

Planning for resilience, particularly at the local
level, should include a focus on addressing
environmental justice and climate equity. This
GGRP Update outlines how Burbank will work
towards this future in light of and inspired by the
obvious impacts of the COVID-19 crisis.

Purpose
This GGRP Update will build on the successful
work of the 2013 GGRP and continue to guide the
City of Burbank towards reducing GHG emissions
consistent with the targets set out by Assembly
Bill (AB) 32 and Senate Bill (SB) 32, as well as fulfill the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines § 15183.5(b).

California AB 32 established a statewide target to
reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and
SB 32 established a statewide target to reduce
GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by
2030. Please see Figure 2 and Appendix A,
Regulatory Summary, for a written description and
a timeline of the State regulations and City
initiatives related to climate action planning and
sustainability.

Similar to the 2013 GGRP, the GGRP Update and
its accompanying environmental documentation
are consistent with the criteria set forth in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15183.5(b) as outlined below:

A. Quantify greenhouse gas emissions, both
existing and projected over a specified time
period, resulting from activities within a
defined geographic area (See Inventory,
Forecast, and Targets);

A. Establish a level, based on substantial
evidence, below which the contribution to
GHG emissions from activities covered by the
plan would not be cumulatively considerable
(See Inventory, Forecast, and Targets);
B. Identify and analyze the GHG emissions
resulting from specific actions or categories
of actions anticipated within the geographic
area (See Inventory, Forecast, and Targets);
C. Specify measures or a group of measures,
including performance standards, that
substantial evidence demonstrates, if
implemented on a project-by-project basis,
would collectively achieve the specified
emissions level (See GHG Emission Reduction
Measures);
D. Establish a mechanism to monitor the plan’s
progress toward achieving the level and to
require amendment if the plan is not
achieving specified levels (See
Implementation);
E. Be adopted in a public process following
environmental review (See Appendix E).

If projects are consistent with the GGRP Update,
CEQA analysis can be streamlined by presuming
that the project’s GHG emissions are not
significant.2
GHG Emission
Background
Most of the energy that affects Earth’s climate
comes from the sun. When solar radiation
reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is
reflected back into space and a small portion is
absorbed by Earth’s surface. As Earth absorbs
the solar radiation, its surface gains heat and
then re-radiates it back into the atmosphere.

Some of this heat gets trapped by gases
in the atmosphere, causing Earth to stay warm
enough to sustain life. This is known as the
“greenhouse effect” and the gases trapping the
heat are known as “greenhouse gases.”3
The greenhouse effect is integral to sustaining
life on Earth. However, human activities emit
GHGs in excess of natural ambient
concentrations, thereby contributing to the
enhancement of the natural greenhouse effect.

This enhanced greenhouse effect contributes to
global warming, an accelerated rate of warming
of Earth’s average surface temperature. More
specifically, by burning fossil fuels to power
homes, businesses, and automobiles, we
increase the amount of GHGs emitted into the
atmosphere,4 which, in turn, leads to increased
absorption of infrared radiation by the Earth’s
atmosphere and increasing temperatures near
the surface.

Types of Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse gases listed by the United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) include: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane
(CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), as well as
chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons,
hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and
sulfur hexafluoride, which are collectively called
fluorinated gases.5 Ninety-seven percent of the
annual GHG emissions generated in the United
States consist of CO2, CH4, and N2O,6 while
fluorinated gases7 result in the remaining three
percent of emissions.

7. Fluorinated gases, which includes four main types:
hydrofluorocarbons 8. (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), are man-made gases that can stay in the atmosphere for centuries and contribute to the GHG effect.
66 ATTACHMENT 1-18
EXHIBIT 1
7 Each of these gases has its own global warming
potential (GWP), or extent to which it traps
energy in the atmosphere, ranging from a
decade to several thousand years. CO2 is used as
the reference point to compare the potential
impact of different GHGs, therefore CO2 has a
GWP of 1. Methane has a GWP of 28, meaning
that each metric ton (MT) of methane causes 28
times more warming than 1 MT of CO2. Nitrous
oxide has a GWP of 265 or 265 times the GWP of
1 MT of CO2.8
Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The combustion of fossil fuels (such as natural
gas and gasoline), the decomposition of waste,
and industrial processes are the primary sources
of GHG emissions. With the accelerated increase
in fossil fuel combustion and deforestation since
the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century,
concentrations of GHG emissions in the
atmosphere have increased exponentially. The
United States Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S. EPA) tracks the country-wide emissions and
publishes an annual report: Inventory of U.S
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks. 9
According to the U.S. EPA, gross GHG emissions
nationwide have increased by 1.3 percent since
1990. Annual flux of GHG emissions can be
attributed to changes in the economy, the price
of fuel, and land-use change. For example, in
2017, nationwide GHG emissions decreased
compared to 2016 levels, but rose again in 2018
by 3.1 percent . The fluctuation in CO2 emissions
from fossil fuel combustion was a result of
multiple factors: although there continues to be
a shift from coal to natural gas and increased use
of renewables in the electric power sector, more
extreme weather (colder winter, hotter summer)
led to increased overall electricity use.

Vulnerability
In general, vulnerability refers to the level or
degree to which an individual or entity are able to
cope with the adverse impacts of climate change.

The three dimensions that make up climate
vulnerability are exposure, sensitivity, and
adaptive capacity.

Climate Impacts
Anthropogenic (human) caused climate change is
well-understood and widely accepted by the
scientific community, with over 97 percent of
climate scientists agreeing that the planet is
warming and human activities are the root
cause.10 Climate change is the addition of excess
GHGs to the atmosphere which traps energy
(heat) and causes changes to temperature, wind
patterns, and precipitation. Because of human
activities, these GHGs are now higher than they
have been in the past 400,000 years, raising
carbon dioxide levels from 280 parts per million to
400 parts per million in the last 150 years.11
Although many changes to climate are governed
by natural processes, human activities have
contributed an increasing amount of GHGs to the
atmosphere at a rate that is unprecedented in
Earth’s history.

Effects of Climate Change
Climate change causes fluctuations in temperature
and precipitation globally, which impact
ecosystems and communities worldwide.

Scientists have measured shrinking ice sheets,
warming oceans, increasing global temperatures,
less snow cover, sea level rise, and species
extinction. Consequently, climate change has the
potential to result in flooding of low-lying areas
(due to sea level rise), reduction of fresh-water
supply (due to rainfall and snowfall changes),
adverse changes to biological resources and public
health (due to increased temperature, less-
productive habitats, and expansion of disease
vectors), as well as many other adverse
environmental consequences.12
Globally, a warming trend is abundantly clear, with
all the top six hottest years on record happening
during the past six years.13 Additionally, the 10
hottest years on record have all occurred since
2009.14 Climate change is a global phenomenon
that has the potential to impact local health,
natural resources, infrastructure, emergency
response, tourism, and many other facets of
society. The direct impacts projected for the City
of Burbank include increased temperatures and
potential changes in precipitation patterns.

Climate Change in the City of Burbank
In the City of Burbank, the most pronounced
effects of climate change will be increased average
temperature, more days of extreme heat, and
elevated drought risk. Air quality impacts from
fires may also continue to be an issue. The
projections in Figure 3 and described in text below
were taken from Cal-Adapt, an interactive
platform that allows users to explore how climate
change might affect California at the local level
under different emissions scenarios and climate
models. The main emissions scenario used in this
analysis is Representative Concentration Pathway
(RCP) 8.5, also known as the high emissions
scenario, which assumes high population, slow
technological progress, and no policy-driven
mitigation.

conditions. The annual number of heat waves,
defined as four or more days over 99.6°F, is
projected to increase from zero in 2005 to four in
2099, based on the high emissions scenario.

Additionally, based on the high emissions
scenario, the annual number of extreme heat days
with temperatures greater than 99.6°F, is
projected to increase from zero in 2005 to
approximately 38 by the end of the century. This
combination of increasing maximum
temperatures, annual heat waves, and annual
number of extreme heat days will result in longer
heat waves. In 2005, there were no observed
consecutive extreme heat days. By the end of the
century the high emissions scenario projects the
longest heat wave to last about 10 days (see
Figure 4).

Moreover, the timing of extreme heat days is
expected to change. In 1990, the only
For a broader view of potential impacts, RCP 4.5 is
also used below. This scenario, otherwise known
as the stabilizing scenario, assumes emissions
peak around 2040 before declining due to the use
of a range of emissions reduction technologies
and strategies. A range of climate models exist to
cover the variability of physical processes, leading
to warm/dry simulations and cool/wet
simulations. Best practices for conservative
planning indicate that an average of all models
gives the most representative value. See Technical
Appendix B, Cal Adapt, for further information on
RCPs and climate models used.

Average maximum temperatures in the City of
Burbank are expected to rise between 5.1° F
(under RCP 4.5, the stabilizing scenario) and

10.3°F (under RCP 8.5, the high emissions
scenario) from 2005 to 2100.15 Figure 4 shows
observed and projected annual average maximum
temperatures in Burbank. Burbank is also
projected to experience more extreme heat

Potential Impacts to the
Community
The City of Burbank may experience a variety of
impacts due to climate change, including an
increase in average temperature and changes in
precipitation, as outlined above under Climate
Change in the City of Burbank. Increased
temperatures have the potential to affect the City
in a variety of ways, especially through decreased
public health. Public health may be negatively
impacted by a changing climate as a result of
changing environmental conditions including
extreme weather events, changes in temperature
and rainfall that decreased water supply,
worsening air quality, and increases in allergens
and air pollutants. Children, the elderly,
asthmatics, and others susceptible to harm from
air pollution exposure, are at the greatest
extreme heat days were in September; however,
by 2099, the earliest day of extreme heat is
expected to occur in late April with the last day of
extreme heat occurring in late October, under the
high emissions scenario. This would extend the
period of extreme heat days by approximately
four months.

Social Vulnerability
Those that are most vulnerable will bear the
greatest burden associated with the potential
impacts of a changing climate. Race, ethnicity,
gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social
class, physical ability, religious or ethical value
systems, national origin, immigration status,
linguistic ability, and zip code do not make an
individual inherently vulnerable. Vulnerabilities
arise from systemic deficiencies rather than a
judgement of any community member or
neighborhood. This document provides a
foundation to even the playing field for all
members of society and to ultimately reduce
potential burdens of climate change on vulnerable
populations.

risk of the negative impacts associated with
climate change.16 Increases in temperature could
also worsen local heat island effects in Burbank
and the surrounding area, meaning that urban
areas could experience a compounded level of
heating due to built environments absorbing and
re-emitting more heat than rural communities
with more natural landscapes.17
This could lead to hazardous conditions such as
heat stroke and respiratory ailments for
community members. Potential impacts to
public health include premature death from heat
stroke, cardiovascular disease, respiratory
disease, and cerebrovascular disease;
cardiovascular stress; and kidney and respiratory
disorders.18 Those in the community without
health insurance (about 8.4 percent of the
population under 65) and those living under the
poverty line (approximately 10.8 percent of the
population) are particularly vulnerable.19
With anticipated increases in temperature, those
without health insurance and/or those that are
economically disadvantaged may find it more
difficult to afford the additional costs of cooling
their homes. Consequently, many low-income
households, especially those of seniors and
people with disabilities, may become physically
vulnerable to the effects of extreme heat events.

It is imperative that the City of Burbank act now
to mitigate and prepare for these climate threats
and hazards. The measures included in this
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan set a path to
achieving GHG reduction goals that will
contribute to long term stability. These
measures and actions will build and decarbonize
the local economy in a cost-effective manner
that prioritizes benefits to the community.

This Plan includes actions in which every part of
the community – residents, property owners,
businesses, and City government – can
participate to improve quality of life. The City of
Burbank will strive to set an example at the
municipal level by doing its part to achieve
climate goals and fostering a safe, healthy,
vibrant, and resilient community for all in
Burbank.

Review of 2010
Baseline Emissions
Inventory
The GGRP included a baseline GHG emissions
inventory for the City of Burbank in 2010.

Although many emission reduction measures
included in the 2013 GGRP were implemented
over time, there was no mechanism in place to
track the actual changes in emissions. Therefore,
as part of this GGRP Update, a new 2019 GHG
emission inventory was completed to help
measure the GHG emissions reduction progress
since the 2010. To verify that the baseline (2010)
and new (2019) GHG inventory were consistent,
the 2010 GHG inventory was updated with
consistent GWPs and calculation methodology to
more closely match the current (2019) inventory.

Both the 2010 and 2019 inventories include GHG
emissions from the community, as well as
municipal emissions that are generated by City
buildings and operations. It is important to note
that the municipal operations inventory is a subset
of the community inventory, meaning that the
municipal emissions are included within the
communitywide inventory. To allow for
comparison among GHG emissions sources, all
emissions are translated to the equivalent of one
metric ton of carbon dioxide, or MT CO2e. One MT
CO2e is the equivalent of using 113 gallons of
gasoline or driving 2,492 miles in a standard
combustion vehicle.20

Updated 2019 GHG
Emissions Inventory
GHG Methodology
Emissions estimates were calculated using the
methodologies from the International Council for
Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI). Specifically,
the U.S. Community Protocol for Accounting and
Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions Version 1.2
(Community) is used to calculate communitywide
emissions and the Local Government Operations
Protocol Version 1.1 (LGO) is used to calculate
municipal emissions. See Appendix C for more
information on the methodology.

The municipal operations,
including the industrial
operation inventory is a
subset of the community
inventory, meaning that the
municipal emissions are
included within the
communitywide inventory.

2019 Municipal GHG Emissions
With the unique circumstances in Burbank, where
the City has some degree of operational control
over the energy supply, wastewater treatment,
and landfill, the municipal GHG inventory was
broken into an “Industrial Operations” sector and
a “Municipal Operations” sector to clearly
demonstrate emission sources that are under the
operational control of the City but have major
implication for the overall community GHG
emissions. Each of these sectors is discussed in
more detail in the following section.
2019 Community-wide GHG
Emissions
In 2019, the Burbank community emitted
approximately 1,084,854 MT CO2e. As shown in
Table 2 and Figure 5, electricity and natural gas
consumption within the residential and
commercial sectors were the largest source of
emissions, generating approximately 573,376 MT
CO2e, or 53 percent of the total 2019 emissions.

The transportation sector was the second largest
source of emissions, generating approximately
470,653 MT CO2e, or 43 percent of total 2019
emissions. Waste generation, including processing
and the decomposition of waste, resulted in three
percent (35,890 MT CO2e) of the City’s emissions,
while water use and wastewater generation
resulted in the remaining percent (4,936 MT
CO2e).

Progress Since 2010
The 2013 GGRP established a 2020 emission
reduction target of 15 percent below 2010 GHG
emission levels and a 2035 target of 30 percent
below 2010 GHG emission levels. As of 2019, the
City of Burbank has reduced GHG emission by 28
percent, exceeding the 2020 target and
approaching the 2035 target established in the
original GGRP well in advance of the horizon year.

The majority of these GHG emission reductions
occurred in the transportation and energy sectors
through increased efficiency and increased
renewable energy procurement by BWP, as well as
increased fuel efficiency in the on-road vehicle
fleet. The water sector also experienced relatively
significant GHG emission reductions through
increased renewable energy procurement
statewide. Table 3 shows the emission reductions
between 2010 and 2019.

Change between the 2010
and 2019 emissions:

Table 4 Industrial Operations GHG Emissions for 2019 Municipal GHG Inventory Industrial Operations
The City of Burbank owns and operates Burbank
Water and Power (BWP), which provides the
majority of the water and power to the
community. The City also operates the Burbank
Landfill Site No. 3, which processes approximately
35 percent of landfilled waste in the City and the
Burbank Water Reclamation Plant (BWRP), which
treats the majority of the community wastewater.

These City-owned operations provide a unique
opportunity for GHG emission reductions, as the
City directly manages its energy, water, and waste
emission sources and the related GHG emissions.

In 2019, BWP generated electricity through
combustion of natural gas at the Lake One and
Magnolia Power Plants and purchased electricity
from in-state and out-of-state sources. In total,
BWP was responsible for approximately 509,439
MT CO2e in 2019. The Burbank Landfill Site No.3
also generated approximately 12,178 MT of CO2e
from the decay of waste landfilled, and the BWRP
generated approximately 2,360 MT CO2e (see
Table 4). While these emissions fall under the
industrial umbrella, they are attributable to
resources used by the community in its entirety
and therefore it is our collective responsibility to
reduce these emissions.
second largest source of emissions (7,892 MT
CO2e, or approximately 27 percent) was from
transportation emissions from the City’s vehicle,
equipment, and transit fleets as well as employee
commute and business travel. Solid waste
generated 2,712 MT CO2e, which represents nine
percent of the total emissions. The remaining
municipal emissions (1,019 MT CO2e, or
approximately three percent) were from water
use and wastewater generation by the City’s
operations.

Municipal Operations
Emissions
In 2019, the City of Burbank’s GHG emissions
associated with municipal operations totaled
29,647 MT CO2e. These emissions are generated
by the regular activities that are involved in the
running of a municipality, and these emissions
sources can be directly influenced by the City. As
shown in Table 5 and Figure 6, emissions from the
City’s energy use were the largest sector (19,042
MT CO2e, or 64 percent).

Emissions Forecasts
Emissions forecasts (what we predict GHG
emissions to be in the future) are generated from
the 2019 inventory to help identify actions that
must be taken now in order to meet future
targets. This GGRP Update identifies GHG
emissions reduction targets for the years 2030 (SB
32 target year), 2035 (City of Burbank’s General
Plan horizon year), and 2045 (EO B-55-18 target
year). A business-as-usual scenario provides a
forecast of how GHG emissions would change in
the years 2030, 2035, and 2045 if consumption
trends continue as they did in 2019 and growth
were to occur as projected in the City’s General
Plan. Burbank’s business-as-usual GHG emissions
are projected to increase to
1,153,935 MT CO2e in 2030, 1,171,033 MT CO2e in
2035, and 1,205,229 MT CO2e in 2045 (see Table
6).

However, several State regulations (i.e., SB 1, SB
100, AB 1493) have been enacted that will reduce
future local emissions. These regulations have
been incorporated into an adjusted forecast,
which provides a more accurate picture of future
emissions growth and the emission reduction the
City and community will be responsible for after
State regulations have been implemented (see
Table 6 and Appendix C).

Table 6 Burbank Business-as-Usual and Adjusted Forecast Emissions Targets
The purpose of target setting is to develop the
trajectory toward achieving the State’s 2030 goal
and prepare for the deep decarbonization
needed by 2045 in a cost-effective manner by
setting an incremental path toward achieving the
EO B-55-18 goals. As such, it is recommended
that the City first strive to exceed the SB 32
targets of reducing GHG emissions 40% below
1990 levels, while establishing a policy
framework to achieve the long-term target of
carbon neutrality by 2045.

To maintain consistency with the 2013 GGRP,
GHG emission reduction targets will be set based
on the 2010 community GHG inventory. The
2013 GGRP established the following GHG
emission reduction targets:
▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 15% below 2010
levels by 2020 (AB 32 target year) and
▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 30% below 2010
levels by 2035.

With the GHG reduction legislation enacted by
the State since adoption of the 2013 GGRP,
22 ATTACHMENT 1-34
EXHIBIT 1
it is recommended that the original targets, which
were based on AB 32, be updated to levels which
are consistent the current State goals established
by SB 32 and EO B-55-18. These update targets
seek to:
▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 49% below 2010
levels by 2030 (SB 32 target year),
▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 66% below 2010
levels by 2035 (General Plan horizon year), and
▪ Achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 (EO B-55-18
target year).

In accordance with the new California Air
Resource Board (CARB) methodology and the
statewide goal established in SB 32, this absolute
emissions21 target was then translated into a 2030
per capita emission target of 7.0 MT CO2e per year
by dividing the 2030 absolute target by Burbank’s
projected population in 2030. The following per
capita GHG reduction targets were established by
the City of Burbank to remain consistent with the
State’s 2030 (SB 32) goal and be in line with the
reduction trajectory to achieve the State’s long-
term 2045 goal:
▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 7.0 MT CO2e per
capita by 2030 (the SB 32 target year)
▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 0.0 MT CO2e per
capita by 2045 (the EO B-55-18 target year)
As shown in Table 7 and Figure 7, Burbank would
be required to implement local reduction
measures to meet the State goals established for
2030 and 2045 even after accounting for
reductions that will result from State regulations.

Table 7 shows that Burbank would be required to
reduce 86,555 MT CO2e by 2030, 232,235 MT
CO2e by 2035, and 531,203 MT CO2e by 2045 to
meet the State goals. Table 7 also shows the
remaining per capita reductions needed to meet
the goal (MT CO2e per capita).

These reductions will be achieved through
implementation of local measures and actions
developed from best practices of other similar and
neighboring jurisdictions, as well.

21. Absolute emissions refer to the total quantity of GHG emissions being emitted.

The City of Burbank established
an emission reduction target to
reach carbon neutrality by 2045,

Accessed September 22, 2020. The population included in this GGRP and associated Initial Study/Negative Declaration (Appendix F) is different from the population included in the Housing Element Environmental Impact Report (EIR) because the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) recommends that each jurisdiction create a buffer in the housing element inventory of at least 15 to 30 percent more capacity than required to ensure that sufficient capacity exists in the housing element to accommodate the Regional Housing Need Allocation throughout the planning period. Including a buffer in the GGRP could result in an overly-conservative emissions reduction forecast and target because these scenarios are in part, calculated based on future population scenarios. https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/docs/sites_inventory_memo_final06102020.pdf

Reducing Emissions in
Burbank
Burbank’s GGRP Update is designed to reduce
GHG emissions through implementation of
achievable GHG emissions reduction measures
that equitably benefit the entire community. The
City is committed to reducing GHG emissions and
has made substantial progress implementing the
2013 GGRP. This GGRP Update evaluates and
modernizes the 2013 GGRP such that the City will
transition away from less successful measures and
incorporates new best practices, technology, and
the most recent State legislation. The measure
development process began with a thorough
review of progress implementing the 2013 GGRP
to identify what measures and actions worked and
which did not produce the projected results. From
there, measures that were previously successful
were refined based on currently available
information and measures that were less
successful in or difficult to track were revised or
removed, and new measures were developed to
provide the strategies that will achieve the GHG
emissions reduction necessary to meet the
community's reduction target. Each of the
measures is associated with a specific strategy and
includes supportive actions that provide a path for
the measure to be implemented. See Figure 8.

Figure 8 Strategy, Measure, and Action Process Flow
26 ATTACHMENT 1-38
EXHIBIT 1
The City recognizes that despite the great
successes accomplished so far in reducing GHG
emissions as a community, long-term sustainable
change must continue to occur to reach the
established GHG reduction targets and limit
impacts related to climate change. To be truly
effective, this change must be reasonable and
equitably driven. Continued progress will require a
community-wide commitment at all levels to
implement the measures outlined in this plan and
by making the necessary adjustments identified
through regularly monitored progress.

Over-time Burbank has learned that high-quality
climate action planning is built on six essential
components that result in implementable and
effective GHG emission reduction strategies.

These essential components include:
• Social equity
• Connectivity with community and resources
• Structural change
• Cost effectiveness and financing
• Outreach and education
• Effective GHG reductions
These pillars provide a foundation for actions that
make transformational change and are important
steps that drive measures that will engage the
community and achieve the GHG emissions
reduction goals laid out in the Plan.

Additional strategies, measures, and actions have
been included to incorporate new GHG reduction
best practices. These have been specifically
designed to achieve Burbank’s fair share of GHG
emissions and achieve the community’s identified
GHG reduction targets. In addition to the
strategies and measures that were included in the
2013 GGRP and either updated or refined, new
measures and Cornerstone and Adaptation
Strategies have been included in the GGRP
Update. A detailed description of the Cornerstone
measure is included below and the adaptation
measures are discussed in Section 4, Adaptation.

Cornerstones of Climate Action
Planning
Fundamentally, a Cornerstone measure is an
example measure that provides a foundation for
understanding the fundamental needs to achieve
long-term GHG reduction and clearly illustrates
the importance and manner in which the action
pillars support the implementation of a measure.

Burbank’s Cornerstone measure was developed to
embody the spirit and character of Burbank. The
goal of the Cornerstone Measure is to educate
and build support around an area of community
pride. The Measures included under each Strategy
are intended to pull in the same direction,
providing the most effective means for achieving
the GHG reductions necessary to reach the 2030
target, and establish the framework for the deep
decarbonization needed to reach the 2045 target
of carbon neutrality.22

22. The GHG reduction measures included in this GGRP Update are intended to meet the GHG reduction target codified by SB 32 of reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. According to the Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) 2016 White Paper “Beyond 2020 and Newhall,” meeting the long-term target of carbon neutrality in 2045 will require substantial advances in cost-effective technological solution related to GHG reductions. As such, the GHG reduction measures will provide substantial progress toward meeting the long-term 2045 target but will need to be reassessed as future advances in technology become available. 27 ATTACHMENT 1-39

Cornerstone Measure (C.1.1)
Lead by example by focusing on equity constraints
associated with existing building electrification by
leveraging BWP’s operations and efficiency
programs to develop an Affordable Housing
Electrification Program to lead Burbank’s
electrification targets through retrofitting low-
income and affordable housing units in Burbank to
all electric, retrofitting 100 affordable housing
units by 2030 and all 320 affordable housing units
owned by Burbank Housing Corporation (BHC) in
the City by 2045.
▪ The Cornerstone focuses on social equity and
works to overcome financial impacts of
modernization, which is one of the greatest
barriers of climate change. With this measure
the City is committed to providing support to
low-income households in the community by
developing an Affordable Housing Electrification
Plan and establishing a funding program to
provide high-quality discounted appliances and
equipment, as well as technical assistance with
installation and electrical panel and circuit
upgrades for retrofits and time of replacement
upgrades of appliances and equipment in
affordable housing units.
▪ Connects the City with non-profit partners, such
as BHC, who are well positioned, such as GRID
Alternatives, to implement a low-income solar
installation program for affordable housing
units and also includes a workforce installation
training program to provide opportunity and
remove barriers to entry into the solar
workforce.

▪ Supports structural change by establishing a
Burbank Housing Corporation program to
performing an electrification needs and existing
building retrofit cost assessment for all
affordable housing units owned and managed
by the BHC and identify an electrification
retrofit pilot project that includes retrofitting of
an entire building of affordable housing units to
100% electric.
▪ Provides a feasible and economical carbon
reduction pathway by developing a tariffed on-
bill financing program and other incentive
program to allow for equitable electrification of
buildings within BWP service area.
▪ Establishes and implements a program to
provide outreach and education to building
owners, building managers, landlords and
residents in low-income housing developments
to communicate the efficiency, cost, funding
opportunities, and health benefits of
electrification.

BWP has developed a pathway to provide 100%
carbon neutral electricity before 2045. Thus,
electrification of existing buildings is a clear way to significantly reduces GHG emissions. One of the
biggest hurdles to reach carbon neutrality is the
high cost of existing buildings. By establishing
funding mechanisms for low-income residents and
implementing the electrification of a complete
neighborhood composed of low-income and
affordable housing, Burbank is actively reducing
GHG emissions and overcoming a barrier to carbon
neutrality.

EXHIBIT 1
Meeting the State’s Goals
The City’s approach to carbon neutrality has been
developed through a collaborative process with
City staff from all Departments, the City Council,
various Boards and Commissions, including the
Sustainable Commission, and the community, and
was designed to support the six pillars of climate
action. These pillars have been used to establish
actions that will drive the implementation
measures that will in-turn achieve the 2030
emissions reduction target and provide substantial
progress to the long-term 2045 target of carbon
neutrality. The 2030 and 2045 targets represent
the City’s fair share reductions towards achieving
the State’s overall climate goals (see Appendix D
for more information on the emission reductions
anticipated to be achieved from each measure).

GHG Reduction Measures and Actions
The measures and supporting actions outlined in
this section were established and refined to meet
the City’s GHG emissions reduction target for 2030
(49% below 2010, as discussed in further detail in
Section 2, Inventory, Forecast, and Targets) and
provide substantial progress towards meeting the
longer-term target of carbon neutrality by 2045,
which aligns with the State’s established goals.

As shown in Figure 9, the measures and actions
established in this GGRP Update help the City
meet the 2030 target and put the City on the
trajectory towards meeting the 2045 target of
carbon neutrality. While the measures and actions
included in this GGRP Update reach the 2030
targets, more work is needed to reach the longer-
term 2045 emission reduction target. It is
anticipated that the GGRP Update will be
reviewed and updated on a triennial basis, as
discussed in CG-1.1 and Section 5,
Implementation. Future iterations of the GGRP
Update will outline additional ways to meet the
longer-term 2045 emission reduction target as
new technologies and solutions become available.

Communities will be impacted by the changing climate; however, the impacts will not be equal.

According to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5),23 socially and economically disadvantaged people are disproportionally affected by climate change. Climate change has the potential to exacerbate inequalities and socially and geographically disadvantaged people in particular face the negative affects of climate hazards. Therefore, equitable change is essential and requires a multi- faceted approach that is built off the understanding that environmental justice lies at the core of high-quality climate action.

It is estimated that if building electrification is not adopted, new construction could add approximately 170 thousand therms of natural gas use in Burbank annually, which would be approximately 40 million therms consumed, collectively, by 2045. Developing all-electric buildings has been found to be less expensive to construct and operate in Burbank’s Climate Zone (Climate Zone 9) compared to constructing buildings with both gas and electric utilities, especially when paired with solar photovoltaic and solar thermal installations, which are not yet mandatory under Title 24 of the California Building Code.24 To meet the long-term goal of carbon neutrality by 2045, the direct GHG emissions from natural gas will need to be phased out. Therefore, it is important to limit new natural gas infrastructure and construct buildings today that are ready for the future. 40 Key Target Metrics:

California adopted SB 100 in 2018, making electrification an important strategy for reducing GHG emissions. SB 100 requires that all retail energy sold in California be 100 percent carbon-free by 2045.

Therefore, electrifying a fossil fuel source such as a natural gas hot water heater means that piece of equipment will also be carbon-free by 2045. In addition to GHG reductions, removing natural gas from homes and businesses has been found to also improve indoor air quality by reducing atmospheric particulate matter less than 2.5 micrograms in size (PM2.5). When coupled with Measure EG-1.1, reducing direct emissions from natural gas consumption in existing buildings will result in buildings that run more efficiently and cleanly in terms of their energy use. Upgrading existing buildings, which use gas appliances to all-electric can be cost-effective in Burbank for both commercial and residential buildings especially when paired with solar photovoltaics.25 43 BE-1.2

The City of Burbank has achieved great success in reducing energy consumption on a per-service population basis through BWP’s incentive programs and adoption of increasingly stringent Building Energy Efficiency Standards, also known as Title 24. While overall electricity consumption has generally increased over time with growth, the amount of energy consumed per person who lives and works in the City has decreased. In the years between the 2010 and 2019 Community GHG Inventories, electricity consumption on a per-service population basis (total City population plus jobs) has decreased by approximately 28 percent.26 Measure BE-1.3 aims to continue and expand the currently available BWP rebates and incentives for energy efficiency to continue attaining increases in efficiency that result in community GHG reductions. BWP tracks the annual participation rate in energy efficiency programs and uses that information to estimate the kWh reductions attributable to the energy efficiency programs. BWP tracks the annual participation rate in energy efficiency programs and uses that information to estimate the kWh reductions attributable to the energy efficiency programs. Therefore, despite anticipated increases in total electricity use due to a potential increase in electric vehicle use and building electrification fuel switching, the success of this measure is trackable.

Measure EG-1.1 is carried over from the 2013 GGRP , providing access to 100% GHG-neutral electricity will be essential to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. Meeting the Renewable Portfolio Standard requirements of SB 100 requires strategic planning to increase renewable energy procurement without significantly increasing customer electricity rates. As such, BWP is challenged with the task of balancing the reduction of GHG emissions associated with the electricity supply, while not disproportionately impacting low-income households with higher energy costs. An equitable pathway towards exceeding the required 60 percent RPS in 2030 is not identified in this Measure; therefore, the Measure does not quantify GHG emissions reductions for the 2030 target year addressed in this analysis. However, implementation of Measure EG-1.1 will provide GHG reduction beyond 2030 and leading up to 2045. Additionally, the Actions included under the Measure serve to increase the local renewable energy supply and explore options for battery storage. These Actions will increase community resilience to power outages during extreme weather events, improving the City’s ability to adapt to future impacts of climate change.

The intent of Measure T-2.2 is to amend the TDM ordinance so that the City can develop a fee structure that results in 30 percent of businesses subject to the TDM ordinance will reach the 1.61 Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR) target. This would allow the City to increase fees when the AVR target is not being met, as well as reduce fees if AVR targets are being exceeded. The fees collected would be used to fund TMO programs, increase transit service, and fund active transportation projects, which would supplement employers’ abilities to reduce vehicle trips. Additionally, Measure T-2.2 would work to increase access to broadband internet throughout the City, furthering the opportunities for employers to have employees telecommute and reduce commute vehicle trips. 61 Key Target Metrics:

Zero emission vehicle (ZEV), such as electric vehicle (EV), adoption will continue to be driven at the State level in part by Executive Order (EO) N-79-20, which directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to develop regulations to achieve 100 percent zero-emission car sales in California by 2035 and zero-emission medium- or heavy-duty vehicles by 2045. Currently the most promising ZEV are electric; however, the City will continue to consider new technologies as they become available and will shift to alternative ZEV in the future, if feasible. A key component to facilitate the purchase of EVs over traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles include access to reliable EV charging stations at home and work. For example, lack of residential access to EV charging infrastructure in multi-family units is a major hurdle to EV ownership. Implementation of BWP’s Transportation Electrification Plan to facilitate installation of 1,950 EV charge ports by 2030 through customer rebates and direct installation of charging stations will provide access to EV charging stations to those living, working, or visiting the City. Increased access to EV charge ports will reduce range anxiety and encourage a shift to EV ownership at a rate that achieves the goal of 23% zero-emission vehicle ownership in the City by 2030.

Methane gas is released from the anaerobic or oxygen free decomposition of organic waste in landfills making landfills a significant source of GHG emissions. Diverting organic waste from landfills through the recovery of edible food for human consumption or through composting prevents these emissions. It is estimated that if action is not taken, then Burbank would send approximately 100,000 tons of waste to landfills annually by 2045. Full implementation of SB 1383 requirements will drastically reduce the volume of organics landfilled through prevention, recovery of edibles, and composting organic waste.

Burbank is expected to see increasing trends in extreme-heat days, as detailed further in the Adaptation Section. Extreme heat events will have greater effects on populations such as the homeless, aging adults, outdoor workers, people with chronic illnesses, and pregnant women.

Homeless people may not have access to indoor spaces or even shade to escape these temperatures.

To help sequester GHG emissions in the City and increase resilience to these events, there are long- term preventative strategies such as the strategic planting of trees and vegetation cover. The City of Burbank currently has approximately 33,000 trees within its borders. Due to the size constraints of planting areas that limit the growth of older trees in the City, the City replaces about up to 500 trees per year.30 This effort works to preserve the urban forest canopy and continue to provide carbon sequestration value as the replaced trees mature.

The GGRP is a living document that needs to be updated and refined as California’s regulatory landscape changes and new technologies become available. Regularly evaluating the success of the plan will allow the GGRP to continue to be used for CEQA streamlining purposes. To monitor and track implementation of the measures into the future, it will be essential to continue to regularly review the GGRP progress and update the plan over time. As outlined further in Section 5, Implementation, the community-wide GHG emissions inventory will be updated annually in CAPDash, an online tool that is publicly accessible. Additionally, the progress on GHG reduction measure implementation will also be reported annually in CAPDash, which will be publicly available online.

Tracking the emission reductions and measure implementation progress provides a regular mechanism to track successes and find areas for improvements that will feed into the triennial GGRP Updates. If it is determined that specific measures are not successful, new or revised measures can be included in future updates to include best practices and meet the City’s long-term targets. 81 Key Target Metrics:

The City of Burbank adopted a Streetlighting Master Plan in 2019 with a purpose of providing public roadway and related illumination to our customers in a safe, responsive, aesthetically-sensitive, and fiscally-sound manner that furthers the goals of the City.31 This measure aims to implement this plan and also establish and implement a plan for converting outdoor lighting at all City facilities, City parking areas, and parks to light emitting diodes (LEDs). In general, LEDs last longer, are more durable, and offer comparable or better light quality than other types of lighting. According to the United States Department of Energy, by 2027, widespread use of LEDs could save about 348 terawatt hour (TWh) of electricity natiowide, which is the equivalent annual electrical output of 44 large electric power plants (1000 megawatts each), and a total savings of more than $30 billion at today's electricity prices.32

The City owns approximately 145 buildings total, 70 of which are considered major. This measure would be implemented through a series of steps, including a Public Works collaboration with Building and Safety to conduct an electrification opportunity assessment for all City buildings and facilities and establishing a replacement plan for replacing natural gas fueled equipment with electric. The next step will include establishing an electrification first policy in which natural gas fueled equipment at City facilities is replaced with electric equipment at time of replacement, and newly constructed City facilities and buildings are designed to be all-electric.33 Switching to electricity helps avoid potential natural gas cost increases, which are expected to greatly outpace electricity increases. When it comes to new construction, all electric buildings are often less expensive to build and operate.34 This measure also requires conducting a feasibility study to understand the cost and impacts of updating the thermal energy storage system as well installing photovoltaic at all City buildings where feasible to offset at least 80% of energy consumption. While this measure reduces emissions, it also demonstrates leadership at the City level and aims to educate and promote the benefits of retrofits, further encouraging community efforts.

The Covid-19 pandemic has drastically altered a variety of the ways we operate, including for some, how and if we commute to and from work. Measure CG-1.4 builds on this shift and aims to establish a flexible employee commute program for City staff with a target of having 25% of City employees staff time utilizing telecommuting by 2030. Implementation of this measure includes maintaining a subsidized transit commute program and expanding the employee carpool program to reduce employee commute miles in single occupancy vehicles (SOV). Based on an employee commute survey completed by City staff in 2019, 82 percent of employees primarily drove a SOV; nine percent carpooled; four percent used the Metrolink/rail; while the remaining six percent actively commuted, rode a motorcycle, took the bus, or used vanpool services. To reach the goal of the measure and decrease vehicle miles traveled (VMT), in SOVs, this measure also allow 25% of employees located at the City of Burbank to telecommute or utilize flexible schedules through 2030 to reduce travel time, VMT, and GHG emissions. Success for this measure will be determined via the annual employee commute survey that is completed per the requirements of the TMO. 87 Key Target Metrics:

Climate Vulnerability
and Adaptation
The current concentration of GHG emissions in
the atmosphere will continue to impact the
climate and the City of Burbank even if emission
generating sources such as transportation and
industry stopped emitting today. In addition to
mitigating the impacts of climate change through
increased resilience, the City recognizes that
adapting to potential impacts from the changing
climate is also an essential component of climate
action planning. This is especially crucial because
research suggests that disadvantaged
communities are the most vulnerable and least
likely to have the ability to adapt to the changing
climate.35 This is due in part because
disadvantaged communities are often politically,
socially, and economically marginalized, which
increases their vulnerability to our changing
climate. Burbank currently has eight census
tracts that are designated as disadvantaged
communities.36 Therefore, equitable adaptive
measures (A-1.1 – A.1-3) have been developed
and vetted by various stakeholders, including
City staff, the Sustainable Commission, and
community members, to further protect Burbank
and the most vulnerable from the impacts of
climate change. Measures A-1.1 – A-1.3 are
discussed in detail on the following pages.

Resilience
Resilience is defined as the ability to recover
quickly and adapt to new, unique, or difficult
situations. In general, California has proven to be
resilient and communities as well as individual
residents throughout the State take steps to
enhance resilience by protecting and repairing
hillsides to reduce fire risk and damage,
exploring and implementing large scale
renewable energy projects, and investing in
technologies of the future. As mentioned in
Section 1, Introduction, risks of climate change in
the City include increasing temperatures,
decreased rainfall, and more frequent heat
waves. Public health may be negatively impacted
as a result of these changing environmental
conditions including extreme weather events,
changes in temperature and rainfall that
decreases water supply, worsening air quality,
and increases in allergens and air pollutants.37
These impacts will have inequitable effects on
the City’s residents, business owners, and
visitors; infrastructure; environment; and
economy. Being resilient will require the City to
adapt to these vulnerabilities and continue to
operate in a sustainable environment with a
healthy economy and an emphasis on protecting
those who may face the greatest impacts.

Extreme heat is projected to continue increasing throughout California due to climate change, according to the State’s climate projections.38 This means more extreme heat days, longer heat waves, warmer nights, and increased stress on our water resources and energy systems. Public health is a major concern as extreme heat increases throughout the region. The people most at-risk include small children, the elderly, low-income populations, outdoor workers, and those with pre-existing conditions and chronic diseases, such as asthma, lung disease, heart disease, renal disease, diabetes, and obesity.39 Prolonged exposure to extreme heat is dangerous, and can cause serious illness or even death.40 Therefore, providing current and updated information to educate the community around the dangers of heat exposure is essential. As part of this measure, Burbank will review and update the City’s Emergency Preparedness webpage; work with Ready LA County to establish a multi- lingual outreach campaign to provide the community with information regarding the symptoms of extreme heat exposure; identify low-cost mechanisms to reduce the impacts of extreme heat; and identify new cooling centers that are distributed throughout the City . 93 Key Target Metrics:

Vulnerability to climate change refers to the degree to which a system is susceptible to or unable to cope with the adverse impacts of climate change. Burbank, like many other cities across California, will be exposed to a variety of unavoidable climate change hazards. It is anticipated that Burbank will experience more droughts and intense rains, as well as more frequent and severe heat waves.

However, exposure to these hazards does not mean that all members of the community will be impacted or affected in the same way. Several factors, including age and socioeconomic status, will determine the degree of impact each person will experience. To better understand how climate- related hazards may impact the community, a citywide climate Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan should be completed and include an evaluation of the following components:
exposure to climate change hazards, sensitivity to hazards, potential climate change impacts, and risks, as well as opportunities to adapt to the changing climate. Implementation of this measure will begin by partnering with the Burbank Fire Department to review and update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and then the Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan will be completed upon identification and acquisition of grant funding. Once adopted, the Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan would be implemented through the oversight of an equity committee. 95 Key Target Metrics:

Los Angeles County is located in a global biodiversity hotspot, which is defined as having at least 1,500 endemic vascular plants and 30 percent or less of its original natural vegetation.41 Currently, Los Angeles County is home to more than 4,000 distinct species of plants and animals, including 52 endangered species — more than any county outside of Hawaii.42 Biological biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth at all levels, from genes to ecosystems, and can encompass the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life.43 Unfortunately, climate change is anticipated to affect important environmental factors that support the region’s ecosystems. Therefore, it is essential to protect this diversity. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) created the Biodiversity Atlas of Los Angeles, which is an ongoing project developed by the UCLA Department of Geography and supported by the UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge. As part of this measure, the City of Burbank would seek to partner with researchers and/or students at UCLA to utilize the Biodiversity Atlas of Los Angeles to understand best practices on how to track, interpret, update, and maintain data associated with biodiversity throughout the City. Additionally, this measure directs the City to work with Trails LA County and/or the Stough Canyon Nature Center to design and implement a multi-lingual program that invites all residents to visit the City’s local natural ecosystems. 97 Key Target Metrics:

Implementation and
Monitoring
This GGRP Update will serve as the Burbank’s
updated roadmap to achieve the City’s 203044
target and State mandated goal of 40 percent
below 1990 levels by 2030, with the ultimate
goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.

While substantial evidence suggests that the
emission reduction measures outlined in this
Plan will achieve the City’s 2030 targets,
uncertainty increases over time (see Appendix C
for a discussion on the substantial evidence used
to quantify the emission reductions attributable
to each measure). The adoption rates of each
measure and action, costs of technology,
legislative environment, and benefits assumed in
this report will continue to evolve over time.

Therefore, this GGRP Update should be viewed
as a strategic framework that will be reevaluated
on a tri-annual basis. This section outlines how
the City will implement the actions included in
the GGRP Update, monitor progress, and
prepare updates over time.

Implementation
Full implementation of the City’s GGRP Update
will require investments on the part of the City,
local households and property owners, and
commercial businesses. In most cases, the
expenditures will not only help to reduce GHG
emissions but will also bring other valuable co-
benefits as described in Section 3. Some
expenditures will not represent net cost
increases, but instead will involve substituting
investments to GHG emissions reducing
alternatives for equipment, materials, and
technologies that would otherwise have been
made on less climate-friendly options. For
example, residents and businesses are
encouraged to make investments in water and
energy conservation improvements, for which
the initial expenditure on the improvements will
be offset by long-term savings from reduced
water or energy usage. The benefits may also
provide additional, unquantified improved
resilience and operational benefits. As part of
this GGRP Update, existing funding and financing
mechanisms that may support measure
implementation for a prioritized list of three
GHG emission reduction themes to meeting the
established emission reduction target were
established.

Team Burbank
The City of Burbank recognizes that everyone
has a role in reducing the impacts of climate
change and meeting the State goals and City
targets for GHG emission reductions. It is
imperative that we all actively participate in the
process and aim to reduce our fair share of
emissions. At the City level, the Community
Development Department led the GGRP Update;
however, during the process, all City
departments, including Public Works, Parks and
Recreation, Burbank Water and Power,
Information Technology, City Manager’s Office,
and the Fire Department were invited to the
table to discuss the findings of the updated
inventory, review and refine emission reduction
measures, and provide input on the final
document (see the Introduction for a summary
on outreach events and stakeholder meetings
that were held as part of the GGRP Update). This
ongoing involvement and collaboration was
essential to establishing a successful and
implementable Plan.

The GGRP Update builds off of the success from
the original GGRP and focuses on making the
next set of changes, infrastructure investments,
and policy directives that will allow Burbank to
transition to carbon neutrality. Making
meaningful progress towards reducing our GHG
emissions starts with City44. As mentioned in the Section 2, Inventory, Forecast, and Targets, to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels in accordance with SB 32, the City of Burbank established a GHG reduction target of 55 percent below 2010 GHG emission levels.

leadership, through policies, education,
ordinances, and investments that act as catalysts
for change throughout the wider community. As
such, the City can update building codes, provide
electric vehicle charging infrastructure and
designate bike lanes, but it is up to the broader
community to embrace these new services and
technologies and gain the benefits outlined in this
plan. Community partners can then support these
policies with incentives and programs and
businesses can leverage these policies to provide
new services and adopt new practices. Finally,
residents that have been provided with the
incentives and education, can adapt behavior to
lower GHG emissions communitywide. As policies
and programs are developed and infrastructure is
constructed, City staff will work to engage the
community on progress and opportunities for
improvement. We’re excited to offer the
community new programs that will help meet the
GHG emissions reduction goals.

Funding Strategy and Financing
Approaches
As part of this GGRP Update, funding and
financing mechanisms that can support
implementation for were identified to help the
City meet the established emissions reduction
targets outlined in the Inventory, Forecast, and
Targets Section. Cities around the world already
face challenges in meeting community’s needs for
investment in many types of critical infrastructure
and programs. Therefore, this analysis examines
approaches that go beyond the use of General
Fund monies to pay for climate-related
infrastructure as funding and financing from
beyond municipal sources is central to unlocking
investments that generate benefits for a wide
group of stakeholders in Burbank. Funding and
financing strategies that go beyond publicly-led
approaches may also reduce the burden on low-
income residents to fund investments that broadly
101
ATTACHMENT 1-113
EXHIBIT 1
support all residents and businesses in Burbank
and beyond. See Table 9 for a funding summary
and Appendix E for specific details on funding
mechanisms. Also shown in Table 9 is a high-
level cost estimate with an approximate price
range to implement each action over the next
decade based on a conservative estimate.

Monitoring Timeframe
As part of this GGRP Update, the City will
complete an annual progress report using
CAPDash as well as a triennial GGRP review and
update. The timeline in Figure 10 shows the
triennial update schedule, with a phased
approach to measure implementation. The
annual progress reports will include calculating
an annual community-wide GHG emissions
inventory in CAPDash, as well as updating the
progress of the emission reduction measures in
the tool. Monitoring will be completed by the
“Chief Reminding Officers” (CRO) embedded
within each departments and data will be shared
with the City Sustainability Officer. These CROs
would have the tools necessary to monitor and
track the implementation of the measures that
their department is responsible for and would be
supported by a Climate Change Task force that
guides and oversees the process.

Figure 10 Monitoring Timeline

ATTACHMENT 1-114
EXHIBIT 1
In order to achieve the 2030 GHG emissions
reductions targets discussed in Section 3, Burbank
will need to begin implementing the measures and
actions as soon as possible to make real progress
over the next decade. Therefore, the GGRP
Update takes a phased approach to
implementation, beginning with Phase 1, which
will occur in the short-term over the next three
years (2021 – 2024). Phase 2 would include
implementation of the mid-term measures, while
Phase 3 would include implementation of the
longer-term measures, that are anticipated to
occur after feasibility studies are complete and
initial measures are implemented. If the actions
identified in the GGRP Update to meet the 2030
GHG emissions reduction milestone goal are not
implemented, it is likely additional actions will
need to be developed. The longer action is
delayed, the more significant actions need to be
taken to achieve the longer-term GHG emissions
reduction targets. Some actions such as adopting
ordinances or resolutions to esatblish an
electrification reach code can be done on a short
timetable; while others, such as implementation
of the full Complete Our Streets Plan will require
longer timelines for both rollout of the
infrastructure and use by the community.

CAPDash
CAPDash is a web-based dashboard developed by
Rincon Consultants, Inc. that allows Burbank to
track the annual emission reductions achieved
through implementation of each Measure and
meet the requirements of CEQA Section
15183.5(b). The City will conduct annual
implementation monitoring of the GHG emissions
reduction measures. The process for monitoring
and quantifying measure implementation status
relies on key target metrics identified for each of
the GGRP Update measures and actions. By
committing to annual monitoring implementation
progress and adjusting where necessary,
103
ATTACHMENT 1-115
EXHIBIT 1
Burbank will rise to meet the local and global
imperative of reducing GHG emissions. In the
process of meeting that challenge, we will
benefit from the supplemental health, economic,
resilience, and other co-benefits of the GHG
emissions reduction measures. This game plan
marks another major milestone in the City’s
commitment to a sustainable future.

Next Steps
The City of Burbank takes pride in tracking the
implementation of their long-term emission
reduction plans, as evidenced by completion of
the Score Card in 2019 and this GGRP Update,
which demonstrates that the City has exceeded
its 2020 emission reduction goal. Successful
implementation of a long-range planning
document requires detailed tracking that will be
done by City staff in all departments. This is a
hybrid approach that does not place the onus on
one person or department, but instead relies on
individual expertise with collective vigilance. This
approach is essential to successful
implementation because it gives everyone a seat
at the table and demonstrates that climate
action requires collective participation to result
in real change. As mentioned above, Table 9
shows each of the measures with supporting
actions and includes the lead or responsible
department that is in charge of overseeing and
implementing each item, as well as the phase in
which the action will be implemented and
potential funding sources.

Regulatory Summary
As the impacts of climate change are being recognized, many strategies that address climate change have emerged at all levels of government. This section provides an overview of the regulatory context at the international, State, and local levels relative to the City of Burbank’s actions toward reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

International Climate Action Guidance
1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change The primary international regulatory framework for GHG reduction is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Paris Agreement (UNFCCC). The UNFCCC is an international treaty adopted in 1992 with the objective of stabilizing atmospheric GHG concentrations to prevent disruptive anthropogenic climate change. The framework established non-binding limits on global GHG emissions and specified a process for negotiating future international climate-related agreements.
1 1997 Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty that was adopted in 1997 to extend and operationalize the UNFCCC. The protocol commits industrialized nations to reduce GHG emissions per county- specific targets, recognizing that they hold responsibility for existing atmospheric GHG levels. The Kyoto Protocol involves two commitment periods during which emissions reductions are to occur, the first of which took place between 2008-2012 and the second of which has not entered into force.2
2015 The Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement is the first-ever universal, legally binding global climate agreement that was adopted in 2015 and has been ratified by 190 countries worldwide.3 The Paris Agreement establishes a roadmap to keep the world under 2° C of warming with a goal of limiting an increase of temperature to 1.5° C. The agreement does not dictate one specific reduction target, instead relying on individual countries to set nationally determined contributions (NDCs) or reductions based on GDP and other factors. According to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) limiting global warming to 1.5° C will require global emissions be reduced through 2030 and hit carbon neutrality by mid-century.

California Regulations and State GHG Targets
California remains a global leader in the eﬀort to reduce GHG emissions and combat climate change through its mitigation and adaptation strategies. With the passage of Assembly Bill (AB) 32 in 2006, California became the ﬁrst state in the United States to mandate GHG emission reductions across its entire economy. To support AB 32, California has enacted legislation, regulations, and executive orders (EO) that put it on course to achieve robust emission reductions and address the impacts of a changing climate. The following is a summary of executive and legislative actions most relevant to the City of Burbank’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan Update (GGRP Update). 2002 Senate Bill 1078
In 2002, (Senate Bill) SB 1078, established the California Renewables Portfolio Standards (RPS) Program and was accelerated in 2006 by SB 107, requiring that 20 percent of retail electricity sales be composed of renewable energy sources by 2010. EO S-14-08 was signed in 2008 to further streamline California's renewable energy project approval process and increase the State's RPS to the most aggressive in the nation at 33 percent renewable power by 2020. 2002 Assembly Bill 1493
In 2002, AB 1493, also known as the Pavley Regulations, directed the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to establish regulations to reduce GHG emissions from passenger vehicles to the maximum and most cost-effective extent feasible. CARB approved the ﬁrst set of regulations to reduce GHG emissions from passenger vehicles in 2004, with the regulations initially taking effect with the 2009 model year.
2005 Executive Order S-3-05
EO S-3-05 was signed in 2005 establishing statewide GHG emissions reduction targets for the years 2020 and 2050. The EO calls for the reduction of GHG emissions in California to 2000 levels by 2010, 1990 levels by 2020, and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. The 2050 emission reductions target would put the State’s emissions in line with the worldwide reductions needed to reach long- term climate stabilization as concluded by the IPCC 2007 Fourth Assessment Report. 2006 Assembly Bill 32
California’s major initiative for reducing GHG emissions is outlined in AB 32, the “California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006,” which was signed into law in 2006. AB 32 codifies the statewide goal of reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and requires CARB to prepare a Scoping Plan that outlines the main State strategies for reducing GHG emissions to meet the 2020 deadline. In addition, AB 32 requires CARB to adopt regulations to require reporting and verification of statewide GHG emissions.

Based on this guidance, CARB approved a 1990 statewide GHG baseline and 2020 emissions limit of 427 million metric tons of CO
2 equivalent (MMT CO2e). The Scoping Plan was approved by CARB on December 11, 2008 and included measures to address GHG emission reduction strategies related to energy efficiency, water use, and recycling and solid waste, among other measures. Many of the GHG reduction measures included in the Scoping Plan (e.g., Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Advanced ATTACHMENT 1-136
EXHIBIT 1
Clean Car standards,5 and Cap-and-Trade) have been adopted since approval of the Scoping Plan.

In May 2014, CARB approved the first update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan. The 2014 Scoping Plan update defined CARB’s climate change priorities for the next five years and set the groundwork to reach post-2020 statewide goals. The update highlighted California’s progress toward meeting the “near-term” 2020 GHG emission reduction goals defined in the original Scoping Plan. It also evaluated how to align the State’s longer-term GHG reduction strategies with other State policy priorities, including those for water, waste, natural resources, clean energy, transportation, and land use (CARB 2014).
2007 Executive Order S-1-07
Also known as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, EO S-1-07, issued in 2007, established a statewide goal that requires transportation fuel providers to reduce the carbon intensity of California’s transportation fuels by at least 10 percent by 2020. EO S-1-07 was readopted and amended in 2015 to require a 20 percent reduction in carbon intensity by 2030, the most stringent requirement in the nation. The new requirement aligns with California’s overall 2030 target of reducing climate changing emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, which was set by SB 32 and signed by the governor in 2016.
2007 Senate Bill 97
Signed in August 2007, SB 97 acknowledges that climate change is an environmental issue that requires analysis in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents. In March 2010, the California Natural Resources Agency adopted amendments to the State CEQA Guidelines for the feasible mitigation of GHG emissions or the effects of GHG emissions. The adopted guidelines give lead agencies the discretion to set quantitative or qualitative thresholds for the assessment and mitigation of GHG and climate change impacts.
2008 Senate Bill 375
SB 375, signed in August 2008, enhances the State’s ability to reach AB 32 goals by directing CARB to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to be achieved from passenger vehicles by 2020 and 2035. In addition, SB 375 directs each of the State’s 18 major Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), including the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) in Los Angeles, to prepare a “sustainable communities strategy” (SCS) that contains a growth strategy to meet these emission targets for inclusion in the MPO’s Regional Transportation Plan (RTP).

On March 22, 2018, CARB adopted updated regional targets for reducing GHG emissions from 2005 levels by 2020 and 2035. The SCAG, of which Burbank is a member, was assigned targets of an 8 perfect reduction in GHGs from transportation sources by 2020 and a 19 percent reduction in GHGs from transportation sources by 2035. In the SCAG region, SB 375 also provides the option for the coordinated development of subregional plans by the subregional Councils of Governments and the County Transportation Commissions to meet SB 375 requirements. 5 On September 19, 2019 the National Highway Traffic Safety Agency (NHTSA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) iss ued a final action entitled the One National Program on Federal Preemption of State Fuel Economy Standards Rule. T his action finalizes Part I of the Safer, Affordable, Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule. This rule states that federal law preempts State and local tailpipe greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards as well as zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandates. The SAFE Rule withdraws the Clean Air Act waiver it granted to California in January 2013 as it relates to California’s GHG and zero emission vehicle programs.

2009 California Green Building Code
The California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) is Part 11 of the California Building Standards Code or Title 24 and is the ﬁrst statewide “green” building code in the nation. The purpose of CALGreen is to improve public health, safety, and general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings. Enhancements include reduced negative impact designs, positive environmental impact designs, and encouragement of sustainable construction practices.

The ﬁrst CALGreen Code was adopted in 2009 and has been updated in 2013, 2016, and 2019. The CALGreen Code will have subsequent, and continually more stringent, updates every three years. 2009 Senate Bill X7-7
In 2009, SB X7-7, also known as the Water Conservation Act, was signed, requiring all water suppliers to increase water use eﬃciency. This legislation sets an overall goal of reducing per capita urban water use by 20 percent by2020.
2011 Senate Bill 2X
In 2011, SB 2X was signed, requiring California energy providers to buy (or generate) 33 percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources by 2020. 2012 Assembly Bill 341
AB 341 directed the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to develop and adopt regulations for mandatory commercial recycling. As of July 2012, businesses are required to recycle, and jurisdictions must implement a program that includes education, outreach, and monitoring. AB 341 also set a statewide goal of 75 percent waste diversion by the year 2020. 2014 Assembly Bill 32 Scoping Plan Update
In 2014, CARB approved the ﬁrst update to the Scoping Plan. This update deﬁnes CARB’s climate change priorities and sets the groundwork to reach the post-2020 targets set forth in EO S-3-05. The update highlights California’s progress toward meeting the near-term 2020 GHG emissions reduction target, deﬁned in the original Scoping Plan. It also evaluates how to align California’s longer-term GHG reduction strategies with other statewide policy priorities, such as water, waste, natural resources, clean energy, transportation, and land use. 2014 Assembly Bill 1826
AB 1826 was signed in 2014 to increase the recycling of organic material. GHG emissions produced by the decomposition of these materials in landfills were identified as a significant source of emissions contributing to climate change. Therefore, reducing organic waste and increasing composting and mulching are goals set out by the AB 32 Scoping Plan. AB 1826 specifically requires jurisdictions to establish organic waste recycling programs by 2016, and phases in mandatory commercial organic waste recycling over time.
2015 Senate Bill 350
SB 350, the Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015, has two objectives: to increase the procurement of electricity from renewable sources from 33 percent to 50 percent by 2030 and to double the energy eﬃciency of electricity and natural gas end users through energy eﬃciency and conservation.

2015 Executive Order B-30-15
In 2015, EO B-30-15 was signed, establishing an interim GHG emissions reduction target to reduce emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. The EO also calls for another update to the CARB Scoping Plan.
2016 Senate Bill 32
On September 8, 2016, the governor signed SB 32 into law, extending AB 32 by requiring the State to further reduce GHGs to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (the other provisions of AB 32 remain unchanged). The bill charges CARB to adopt the regulation so that the maximum technologically feasible emissions reductions are achieved in the most cost-effective way. 2016 Senate Bill 1383
Adopted in September 2016, SB 1383 requires CARB to approve and begin implementing a comprehensive strategy to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants. The bill requires the strategy to achieve the following reduction targets by 2030:
 Methane – 40 percent below 2013 levels
 Hydrofluorocarbons – 40 percent below 2013 levels
 Anthropogenic black carbon – 50 percent below 2013 levels SB 1383 also requires the CalRecycle, in consultation with the CARB, to adopt regulations that achieve specified targets for reducing organic waste in landfills. The bill further requires 20 percent of edible food disposed of at the time to be recovered by 2025. 2017 Scoping Plan Update
On December 14, 2017, CARB adopted the 2017 Scoping Plan, which provides a framework for achieving the 2030 goal set by SB 32. The 2017 Scoping Plan relies on the continuation and expansion of existing policies and regulations, such as the Cap-and-Trade Program, as well as implementation of recently adopted policies, such as SB 350 and SB 1383 .

The 2017 Scoping Plan also puts an increased emphasis on innovation, adoption of existing technology, and strategic investment to support its strategies. As with the 2014 Scoping Plan Update, the 2017 Scoping Plan does not provide project-level thresholds for land use development.

Instead, it recommends that local governments adopt policies and locally appropriate quantitative thresholds consistent with statewide per capita goals of six metric tons (MT) CO 2e by 2030 and two
MT CO2e by 2050. As stated in the 2017 Scoping Plan, these goals may be appropriate for plan-level analyses (city, county, subregional, or regional level), but not for specific individual projects because they include all emissions sectors in the State (CARB 2017). 2018 Senate Bill 100
Adopted on September 10, 2018, SB 100 supports the reduction of GHG emissions from the electricity sector by accelerating the State’s RSP Program, which was last updated by SB 350 in 2015.

SB 100 requires electricity providers to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 33 percent of total retail sales by 2020, 60 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2045.

2018 Executive Order B-55-18
On September 10, 2018, the governor issued Executive Order B-55-18, which established a new statewide goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 and maintaining net negative emissions thereafter. This goal is in addition to the existing statewide GHG reduction targets established by SB 375, SB 32, SB 1383, and SB 100.
2018 Executive Order B-55-18
In September 2020, EO N-79-20 requires that, by 2035, all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California be zero-emission vehicles. EO N-79-20 also requires that 100 percent of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in the State be zero-emission by 2045 for all operations where feasible and by 2035 for drayage trucks and notes that the State shall transition to 100 percent zero-emission off- road vehicles and equipment by 2035, where feasible.

City of Burbank Sustainability Plans and Policies
The City of Burbank has established actions related to increasing sustainability and reducing GHG emissions and the potential impacts of climate change. These actions are outlined in in the City’s Bicycle Master Plan, North San Fernando Boulevard Master Plan, City of Burbank 2013 GGRP, GGRP Scorecard, BWP Integrated Resource Plan, and Complete Streets Plan. 1997 Burbank Center Specific Plan
The Burbank Center Specific Plan was adopted in 1997 and is an economic revitalization plan addressing transportation planning and long range use of the downtown area. It encourages mixed- use projects to minimize vehicular traffic and encourage compatible uses within close proximity of existing modes of transportation.6 The plan encourages reduction of vehicle traffic which could lead to decrease in GHG emissions.

Bicycle Master Plan
The City of Burbank’s Bicycle Master Plan7 was adopted on December 15, 2009 and serves as a policy document to guide the development and maintenance of a bicycle network, support facilities, and other programs for the City. Policies in the Bicycle Master Plan address issues related to bikeways, such as planning, community involvement, utilization of existing resources, facility design, multi-modal integration, safety education, and support facilities, as well as specific programs, implementation, maintenance, and funding.

City of Burbank Sustainability Action Plan and Zero Waste Policy In January 2008, the City Council adopted the Sustainability Action Plan to support the United Nations Urban Environmental Accords. The Sustainability Action Plan addresses the City’s efforts toward providing a clean, healthy and safe environment. The Accords include 21 specific actions organized into seven urban themes designed to collectively address urban sustainability concerns. 6 City of Burbank. 1997.

The themes include energy, waste reduction, urban design, urban nature, transportation, environmental health and water (City of Burbank 2008a). Action items related to waste include zero waste, manufacturer responsibility, and consumer responsibility. As part of the Sustainability Action Plan, the City adopted the Zero Waste Strategic Plan that includes a goal to achieve zero waste by 2040. The Zero Waste Plan includes four basic strategies, with a priority placed on “upstream” solutions to eliminate waste before it is created. The plan also includes actions to build on the City’s traditional “downstream” recycling programs to fully utilize the existing waste diversion infrastructure (City of Burbank 2008b). The four basic strategies include:
a. Advocate for Manufacturer Responsibility for Product Waste and Support Elimination of Problem Materials
b. Adopt New Rules and Incentives to Reduce Waste
c. Expand and Improve Local and Regional Recycling and Composting d. Educate, Promote, and Advocate a Zero Waste Sustainability Agenda North San Fernando Boulevard Master Plan
The North San Fernando Boulevard Master Plan8 is a policy document that provides a strategy to guide future development and streetscape improvements along the segment of North San Fernando Boulevard between Interstate 5 and Burbank Boulevard. Additionally, it includes recommendations to improve the surrounding residential and commercial streets. Specific policies included in the North San Fernando Boulevard Master Plan aim to enhance pedestrian comfort and safety, expand the tree canopy, and allow mixed-use developments. In general, these policies encourage people to actively commute instead of drive somewhere.

Burbank 2035: General Plan
The City’s General Plan is focused on balanced development, community image and character, complete streets, economic vitality, environmental equality, housing variety, open space and conservation, proactive and responsive government, quality neighborhoods and schools, and safety for the City of Burbank’s community. The Plan has set goals policies to address the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for effects due to climate change. The implementation of the GGRP and Climate Change Adaption strategies are how the general plan address the previously mentioned goals.
9 City of Burbank 2013 GGRP
On February 19, 2013, the Burbank City Council adopted the GGRP, which is a standalone planning document that accompanies Chapter 2, Air Quality and Climate Change Element, of the Burbank 2035 General Plan. The 2013 GGRP established a baseline GHG emission inventory for 2010 and forecast emissions for 2020 and 2035 (See Inventory, Forecast, and Targets, for a discussion of the 2010 inventory and for more information on how it is integrated into this GGRP Update). 8 https://www.burbankca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument?id=17217 9 City of Burbank.

Additionally, the 2013 GGRP enabled development streamlining opportunities for discretionary projects under the CEQA through 2020 and serves as the foundation for this GGRP Update.

GGRP Scorecard
The GGRP established goals for 2020 and 2035, where a majority of 2035 measures were designed to build off the 2020 measure or may be updated based on the success of the established 2020 measures. The implementation of measures prior to 2020 are intended to achieve a majority of the reduction needed to reach the City’s 2020 target, with the remaining gap of emissions to be reduced through the community’s initiative. Because it is not possible to track the community’s contribution to overall GHG reduction without conducting a GHG inventory update, the GGRP scorecard 10 is
designed to summarize and report the City’s progress towards meeting the GHG Measure reduction 2020 target quantified in the GGRP and adopted by the City Council. Measures that have been successfully implemented to the extent that reductions exceed the 2020 target provide substantial progress towards the City achieving the established 2035 goal. The progress on each measure in the GGRP to meet the 2020 measure targets and overall goal is presented, including the status of implementation, reductions originally estimated, progress quantification methodology, and actual reductions resulting from implementation to date. Progress towards each quantifiable measure was based on available data provided by the City that generally spanned from the start of the 2013 fiscal year to the end of the 2019 fiscal year.

BWP Integrated Resource Plan
The 2019 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)11 is a long-term planning document designed to provide policy guidance for BWP’s electric supply to its customers over the next twenty years, from 2019 through 2038. The IRP, like all long-term planning, is directional rather than determinative. In other words, the IRP helps Burbank see the broad contours of its energy future and the general direction Burbank should head to reach that future; it is not a roadmap for decision-making beyond the near- term.

Complete Streets Plan
The Citywide Complete Streets Plan12 aims to transform the Burbank2035 General Plan’s goals and policies into an actionable plan for implementation. As outlined in the Citywide Complete Streets Plan, it aims to:
 Analyze and catalog existing street conditions;
 Establish new policies, guidelines, and performance measures for street improvements Citywide;
 Identify priority projects within Focus Areas;
 Build better neighborhoods; and
 Create an ongoing mechanism for evaluating street improvements.

The plan is ultimately a guidebook for use by the City to ensure that improvements in the public right-of-way are consistent with good urban design, multi-modal mobility, and place making.

Cal-Adapt1 is an interactive platform that allows users to explore how climate change might affect California at the local level. The site was developed by the University of California, Berkeley’s Geospatial Innovation Facility (GIF) with funding and advisory oversight by the California Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program. The data used within the Cal-Adapt visualization tools have been gathered from California’s scientific community, and represent peer-reviewed, high-quality scientific information.2
The site includes the following climate change projections:
 Annual Averages (temperature and precipitation)
 Extreme Precipitation Events
 Extreme Heat Days and Warm Nights
 Cooling Degree Days and Heating Degree Days
 Snowpack
 Sea Level Rise
 Wildfire
 Streamflow
 Extended Drought
These localized climate change projections are available on the Cal-Adapt landing page or via the Tools tab. Another way to download data is through the Data tab. The Data tab allows you to download spatial and non-spatial data from individual publishers. This technical appendix describes the process of downloading data from the landing page, or Tools tab, as it is more interactive and provides visualizations of the data, which are included in the GGRP Update.

Best Practices
The following section details the best practices related to choosing a location, which scenario is most appropriate, establishing a baseline and future timeframes, and choosing climate models.

Location
When choosing a location, Cal-Adapt will prompt the user to select a 6x6 kilometer grid cell or a county, among other options. The grid cell used for Burbank is shown below (Grid Cell 34.15625, -118.34375).

Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP)
The Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) are scenarios adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) that describe possible greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration trajectories.

Each RCP provides only one of many possible scenarios that would lead to the specific radiative forcing, which is the difference between sunlight absorbed by the Earth and energy radiated back to space.

The California Adaptation Planning Guide3 recommends always using the high emissions scenario (RCP

8.5).4 The stabilizing scenario (RCP 4.5)5 may also be used to provide a wider range of possible futures. 3 https://resources.ca.gov/CNRALegacyFiles/docs/climate/01APG_Planning_for_Adaptive_Communities.pdf 4 Under the high emissions scenario, emissions continue to rise through the end of the century before leveling off. 5 Under the stabilizing scenario, emissions rise through 2050 before leveling off.

Past and Future Year Horizons
To gain an understanding of how climate change may impact a location, it is essential to know the historical and projected conditions. Below are the past and future year horizons used for the Climate Change in the City of Burbank subsection of the Burbank Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan.  Historical/Current: 1990 and 2005
 Long-term: 2099
It is important to consider a long-term benchmark year when working with climate change projections to understand the potential impacts over a specific period of time.

Climate Models
Cal-Adapt allows the user to choose whether to use the minimum, average, or maximum estimates (shown below). These are calculated over all models shown in the chart provided by Cal-Adapt. For a representative value of all models combined, rather than selecting the lowest or highest predicting model, it’s best to use the average value. The four models used in this assessment are:
 HadGEM2-ES: a warm/drier simulation
 CNRM-CM5: a cooler/wetter simulation
 CanESM2: an average simulation
 MIROC5: a complement simulation (most unlike the other three models) These models were selected by California’s Climate Action Team Research Working Group as the priority models for research contributing to California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment. To determine projected timing of extreme heat days, Rincon used the range all four priority models. This allows for conservative planning, recommended by the California Adaptation Planning Guide.

Subject: City of Burbank 2019 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, Forecast, and Reduction Targets Memorandum
Dear Mr. Ramirez,
To inform development of the City of Burbank (City) Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan Update (GGRP Update), Rincon Consultants Inc. (Rincon), has prepared a current (2019) greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventory, a GHG emissions forecast, and GHG emission reduction targets. The GHG emission inventory for the 2019 calendar year is based on the most recent full year of available activity data and calculates the GHG emissions associated with transportation, energy usage (electricity and natural gas), water consumption and waste and wastewater generation. The inventory includes a comprehensive community inventory that addresses the GHG emissions generated from activities occurring within the City, and a municipal inventory which accounts for the portion of the community GHG emissions that can be attributed directly to the City’s municipal operations. The GHG emissions forecast provides an estimate of how the City’s GHG emissions are expected to change in the years 2030 (Senate Bill 32), 2035 (City of Burbank’s General Plan horizon year), and 2045 (EO B-55-18) as a result of economic and population growth, as well as the impacts state climate related legislation will have on these future GHG emissions.

This memorandum also includes GHG emission reduction targets based on the state’s goals and provides a pathway to determine the quantity of GHG emissions that Burbank needs to reduce to contribute their fair share reduction towards achieving California’s long-term GHG emission reduction goals. 1 A
recalculation of the 2010 GHG inventory developed as part of the 2035 GGRP was also performed to ensure that methodologies followed for both inventory years are consistent, progress since the 2035 GGRP is accurately represented, and the reduction targets are based on an equivalent comparison of past and future GHG emissions. The reassessment of the 2010 GHG inventory includes updated global warming potentials and updated methodologies associated with the Community Protocol for Accounting and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions.2 The following sections provide a summary of the results for the GHG emission inventories, GHG emission forecast, and GHG reduction targets to be included in the City of Burbank GGRP Update.
1 California’s long-term GHG emission reduction goals were established by the landmark Assembly Bill 32, Senate Bill 32, and Executive Order B - 55-18. Collectively, these legislative actions provide a GHG reduction trajectory for the state of reducing statewide GHG emissions to 1990 GHG emission levels by 2020, 40% below 1990 GHG emissions levels 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2045. 2 ICLEI.

Introduction
California considers GHG emissions and the impacts of climate change to be a serious threat to public health, the environment, economic well-being, and natural resources of the state, and has taken an aggressive stance to mitigate the impact on climate change through the adoption of legislation and policies, the most relevant of which are summarized below.  Executive Order (EO) S-3-05, signed by the Governor in 2005, establishes statewide GHG emission reduction targets to achieve long-term climate stabilization as follows: by 2020, reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels and by 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels. The 2050 target was accelerated by the 2045 carbon neutral target in Executive Order B-55-18, as discussed below.
3  Assembly Bill (AB) 32, known as the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, requires that California’s GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by the year 2020 (approximately a 15% reduction from 2005 to 2008 levels). The AB 32 Climate Change Scoping Plan, 2008, identifies mandatory and voluntary measures to achieve the statewide 2020 emissions goal, and encourages local governments to reduce municipal and community GHG emissions proportionate with state goals. 4  Senate Bill (SB) 32, signed by the Governor in 2016, establishes a statewide mid-term GHG reduction goal of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) formally adopted an updated Climate Change Scoping Plan in December 2017, establishing the roadmap to achieve the 2030 goal and giving guidance to achieve substantial progress toward the 2050 state goal.
 Executive Order (EO) B-55-18, signed by the Governor in 2018, expanded upon EO S-3-05 by creating a statewide GHG goal of carbon neutrality by 2045. EO B-55-18 identifies CARB as the lead agency to develop a framework for implementation and progress tracking toward this goal.

This memorandum identifies the provisional GHG emission reduction targets identified for the City of Burbank GGRP Update for the years 2030 (SB 32 target year), 2035 (City of Burbank’s General Plan horizon year), and 2045 (EO B-55-18 target year). The provisional reduction targets presented here are an adjustment of the targets established in the 2035 GGRP to align with the legislation passed since its adoption, including SB 32 and EO B-55-18. In identifying these provisional targets, an updated GHG emissions forecast was developed to estimate future GHG emissions in each of the target years and is based on the GHG emissions level identified in the most recent GHG inventory for 2019.

The 2019 GHG inventory update is a valuable tracking mechanism for the City’s emission reduction progress since calculations of the baseline 2010 GHG inventory and implementing the 2013 GGRP. An update of the 2010 Baseline GHG inventory methodology is also provided here to ensure an equitable comparison of past, present, and future GHG emissions. The results of the 2019 GHG inventory show that the City has exceeded its 2013 GGRP GHG emission reduction targets for the 2020 AB 32 target year 3 Executive Orders are binding only unto state agencies. Accordingly, Executive Order S-3-05 will guide state agencies’ efforts to control and regulate GHG emissions but will have no direct binding effect on local government or private actions. 4 Specifically, the AB 32 Scoping Plan states that CARB, “encourages local governments to adopt a reduction goal for municipal operations emissions and move toward establishing similar goals for community emissions that parallel the State commitment to reduce GHG emissions by approximately 15% from current levels by 2020” (p. 27). “Current” as it pertains to the AB 32 Scoping Plan is commonly understood as between 2005 and 2008.

of reducing emissions to 15% below 2010 levels. The updated provisional GHG reduction targets presented here will build upon this success and provide the basis for GHG reduction strategy development to meet the SB 32 and EO B-55-18 reduction goals.

City Operations
The City of Burbank owns and operates Burbank Water and Power (BWP) which provides the majority of the water and power provided to the community. The City also operates the Burbank Landfill Site No. 3, which is the City landfill that process approximately 35% of landfilled waste generated in the City 5 , and
the Burbank Water Reclamation Plant (BWRP), which treats the majority of the wastewater generated in the City. These operations provide a unique opportunity for GHG emission reductions, as the City is able to exert higher influence over its energy, water, and waste emission sources which can affect the total GHG emissions generated by the community. The 2019 GHG inventory is broken out to specifically highlight this intersection, by showing GHG emissions that are attributed to the entire community and municipal operations, with the municipal operations inventory further disaggregated into emission sources that directly impact the community emissions by acting as the source for the sector emission factors. These emission sources include electricity generated and purchased by BWP, emissions from wastewater treatment facilities, and the City operated landfill, Burbank Landfill Site No. 3; which are addressed separately within the municipal GHG inventory as “Industrial Operations”.

Greenhouse Gases
The GHG municipal and community emission inventories were developed based on methodologies outlined in ICLIE’s LGOP and Community Protocol for Accounting and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, respectively. Both the LGOP and Community Protocol state that local governments should assess emissions of all six internationally recognized GHGs. These gases are outlined in Table 1, which includes their sources and global warming potential (GWP).6 This inventory was prepared in conformance with International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 14064-1 and therefore, incorporates the latest 100-year GWP values published in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).7 The GWP refers to the ability of each gas to trap heat in the atmosphere. For example, one pound of methane has 28 times more heat capturing potential than one pound of carbon dioxide. This report focuses on the three GHGs most relevant to local government policymaking: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases comprise a large majority of GHG emissions at the community level. Other gases such as hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluorides are emitted primarily in private sector manufacturing and electricity transmission
8 and are the subject of regulation at the state level and therefore, have been 5 CalRecycle. Local Government Central: Jurisdiction Disposal and Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) Tons by Facility.

Accessed August 30, 2020. 6 According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the GWP was developed to allow comparisons of the global warming impacts of different gases. Specifically, it is a measure of how much energy the emissions of one ton of a gas will absorb over a given period of time, relative to the emissions of one ton of carbon dioxide (USEPA 2017; https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/understanding-global- warming-potentials.

GWP: Global Warming Potential
2019 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Overview
The 2019 GHG inventory includes an assessment of the City of Burbank’s community-wide GHG emissions that serve as the basis for the GHG emissions forecast. Additionally, the updated inventory provides a mechanism for the City to track progress from the 2010 baseline inventory and establish an understanding of how successful the original measures were implemented as well as whether or not the emission reduction target for 2020 was achieved. The 2019 community GHG inventory includes all emissions occurring within Burbank’s geo-political control (i.e., sources of emissions within the City limits over which the City has significant influence or jurisdictional authority). As such, the community inventory also includes a municipal inventory which summarizes the emissions resulting from facilities that the City owns and/or operates (e.g. City Hall). The municipal inventory is a subset of the community inventory, meaning that all municipal operations are included in the commercial, transportation, solid waste, or water categories of the community-wide inventory. The municipal inventory should not be added to the community analysis; rather, it should be looked at as a portion of the total community emissions. The municipal inventory allows the City to track its GHG emissions resulting from the City- owned facilities and vehicles over which it is able to exert control with GHG reduction policies and ultimately lead by example.

The reporting and calculation of GHG emissions are consistent with the recommendations of ICLEI.9 The community inventory reports GHG emissions by their source sector, which includes energy, transportation, water, and solid waste. The calculation of GHG emissions uses the best available data and guidance of the ICLEI methodologies. A detailed assessment of the data and its sources, calculation methodologies, and GHG emissions reporting by scope and sector is provided in the September 2020 9 ICLEI. July 2019.

City of Burbank Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory Methodology and Data Evaluation Memorandum, (Data Evaluation and Methodology Memo), which is included here as Attachment A. 2019 Municipal GHG Inventory
The 2019 municipal GHG inventory assesses the contribution to total community GHG emissions of activities, entities and GHG emission sources under the operational control of the City. With the unique circumstances in Burbank, where the City has some degree of operational control over the energy supply, wastewater treatment and landfill, the municipal GHG inventory can be broken into an “Industrial Operations” sector and a “Municipal Operations” sector. The Industrial Operations sector addresses direct emission sources from electricity procurement and landfill and wastewater management with significant risk of double counting. This double counting risk arises because the activities that contribute to these Industrial Operations emissions are captured in both the Municipal Operations and community GHG inventories. As such, the City can exert large influence over these Industrial Operations emission sources that have implications for the emissions generated by the community. Similarly, the Municipal Operations sector of the municipal GHG inventory is based upon activity data that is captured in the community inventory and is considered to be a subset of the community inventory.

The results of GHG emission calculations are presented by emissions “scope,” relating to the degree of control the City has over emission sources, and the sector that the emissions sources are associated with in relation the community GHG inventory. Emissions sources are categorized as direct (Scope 1) or indirect (Scope 2 or Scope 3), in accordance with the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development’s Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard, which are summarized below:
 Scope 1: Direct GHG emissions from sources within a local government’s operations that it owns and/or controls. This includes stationary combustion to produce electricity, steam, heat, and power equipment; mobile combustion of fuels; process emissions from physical or chemical processing; fugitive emissions that result from production, processing, transmission, storage and use of fuels; and other sources.
 Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions associated with the consumption of electricity, steam, heating, or cooling that are purchased from a utility provider that also provides energy to other jurisdictions and/or is located outside City boundaries.
 Scope 3: All other indirect GHG emissions not covered in Scope 2, such as emissions resulting from the extraction and production of purchased materials and fuels, transport-related activities in vehicles not owned or controlled by the City (e.g., employee commuting and business travel, outsourced activities, waste disposal, etc.).

Industrial Operations
The Industrial Operations sector of the municipal GHG inventory includes GHG emissions from energy generation and procurement by BWP, wastewater treatment at BWRP, and management of the Burbank Landfill Site No. 3. The separation of these emission sources in the municipal GHG inventory allows a clear demonstration of the emission sources that are under the operational control of the City but have major implication for the overall community GHG emissions. Management of the emissions from BWPs electricity generation and procurement have a direct impact on the magnitude of emissions generated ATTACHMENT 1-154
EXHIBIT 1
from electricity consumption in the City. Similarly, management of emissions from the City operated landfill have direct impact on community waste emissions.

In 2019, BWP generated electricity through combustion of natural gas at the Lake One and Magnolia Power Plants and purchased electricity from in-state and out-of-state sources. The emissions generated from these electricity sources, as well as emissions from the loss of electricity in transmission and distribution of power, are provided below in Table 2. In total, BWP was responsible for approximately 509,439 MT CO
2e in 2019. The Burbank Landfill Site No.3 also generated approximately 12,178 MT of CO2e from the decay of waste landfilled, and the BWRP generated approximately 2,360 MT CO2e.

2. The GHG emissions associated with the water facilities are captured under the scope 2 electricity consumption GHG emissions, and as such, are not added to the GHG emission totals for risk of double counting with the electric power generation emissions.

The Industrial Operations sector presents unique opportunities for the City to leverage its control over these sources to make effective reductions in community GHG emissions. Reduction of energy emissions from power generation, through reduced fossil natural gas consumption or increased renewable energy procurement, would reduce the carbon intensity of energy consumed by the community. Management of the City landfill also presents opportunity for emission reductions in the community, since nearly 35% of the community waste sent to landfill is processed at the Burbank Landfill Site No. 3. More accurate landfill emission estimates from the tracking of volumes of landfill gas capture, and expansion of the landfill gas capture rate are areas for emissions reduction improvements. Similarly, a better understanding of the emission from BWRP and increased emission capture could also significantly influence community-wide GHG emissions.

Municipal Operations
The Municipal Operations sector of the municipal GHG inventory includes GHG emissions calculated from activity data resulting from the regular operations for the City. The Municipal Operations are inherently captured in the community GHG inventory and are therefore considered as a subset of community GHG emissions. Municipal Operations GHG emissions are considered by the scope of the emission source, as well as be sector. The results of the Municipal Operations inventory are provided in Figure 1 as they relate to the GHG emission source scope, and Table 3 as they pertain to GHG emission source scope and sector. A discussion of the emissions by sector follows for the four primary emission sectors of: energy, transportation, water and waste.

Water
Municipal Operations water emissions scope 3 emissions from municipal water consumption in buildings and facilities and for irrigation. GHG emissions associated with municipal water consumption are generated by the electricity used to supply water to municipal facilities. Since there is risk of double counting this electricity consumption with the scope 2 electricity consumption emissions under the energy sector, water consumption emissions are excluded from the municipal GHG emission totals.

However, it is beneficial to quantify and report these emissions to provide insight to the potential GHG reduction impact of water use reduction policies. In 2019 Municipal Operations water consumption generated approximately 1,019 MT CO2e.

Solid Waste
Municipal Operations solid waste GHG emissions include 3 emissions from waste generated by municipal facilities. The GHG emissions associated with solid waste generation for Municipal Operations totaled approximately 2,712 MT CO2e in 2019.
2019 Community GHG Inventory
The 2019 community GHG inventory provides the total GHG emissions resulting from activities occurring within, or attributable to the community within the City of Burbank. The results will be used to estimate future GHG emissions and reflect the progress in GHG emission reductions achieved by the City since the 2010 GHG inventory was calculated as part of the 2035 GGRP. Community GHG emission are reported by emission sector, consistent with the CARB 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan and the ICLEI Community Protocol for Accounting and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, which include energy, transportation, water and solid waste.10 A detailed description of the activity data, data sources, and calculation methodology for community GHG emission calculations can be references in the Data Evaluation and Methodology Memo (Attachment A).

In 2019, the City of Burbank generated approximately 1,084,854 MT CO 2e. The City of Burbank 2019
community GHG emissions were largely dominated by the energy sector emission sources generating 53% of the City’s total GHG emissions, with transportation being the second largest source, generating 43% of the City’s total GHG emissions. Water and solid waste sector emissions make a much smaller contribution to overall GHG emissions, at 3% and less than 1%, respectively. The results of the community inventory are provided in Figure 2 and Table 6.

10 There are primary sectors from the 2017 Scoping Plan that are excluded from the 2019 Community inventory. Agriculture sector is excluded because there is not significant agricultural activities in Burbank. Industrial emission sources are excluded because GHG emi ssion from these emission sources are regulated by the state under the Mandatory GHG Reporting Program and the Cap-and-Trade Program. High-GWP sector emissions are also excluded due to a lack a reliable community-wide data set encompassing these emission sources.

GHG emissions generated by electricity consumption involved in producing local groundwater supplies and the collection and treatment of wastewater are not added to the GHG emissions total to avoid double counting. The electricity consumption involved in these processes is already encompassed in non-residential electricity consumption in the energy sector.

2010 Community GHG Inventory Update
An update of the 2010 community GHG inventory, which was included in the 2035 GGRP, was calculated to ensure a consistent (apples-to-apples) comparison of GHG emission total in the 2019 community GHG inventory. The update utilizes the same activity data as used to calculate GHG emissions in the 2035 GGRP with updated IPCC AR5 GWPs and methodologies to match those used in the 2019 community GHG inventory (see Data Evaluation and Methodology Memo for the 2019 community inventory methodology, included as Attachment A). Notable changes to the reporting of emissions and methodology include:
 Update of GWPs from IPCC Third Assessment Report (AR3) to AR5.

ATTACHMENT 1-160
EXHIBIT 1
 Inclusion of electricity transmission and distribution losses.11  Exclusion of industrial natural gas consumption.12
 Updated on-road transportation emission factors based on those provided in EMFAC2017.13  Inclusion of public transit, using 2019 activity data and 2010 emission factor from EMFAC2017. 14  Inclusion of off-road equipment, using 2019 community GHG inventory methodology.  Updated wastewater GHG emission methodology to include process and fugitive N2O emissions.  Inclusion of imported potable water supply as a GHG emission source.15  Exclusion of local potable water supply (Groundwater and Water Distribution) for risk of double counting with energy sector.
 Updated solid waste GHG emission methodology and data source to match 2019 community GHG inventory.

The results of the 2010 community GHG inventory update estimate the City of Burbank generated 1,534,779 MT CO2e. This updated estimate is slightly lower than the previous estimate included in the 2035 GGRP of 1,682,494 MT CO2e, which can be primarily attributed to the lower emission factors used to calculate on-road transportation GHG emissions.

The results of the 2010 community GHG inventory update show the transportation and energy sector GHG emission sources generated nearly equivalent total GHG emissions, each contributing 48% to the 2010 GHG emissions total. Solid waste and water sector emission sources each contributed 2% of total 2010 GHG emissions. The results of the 2010 community GHG inventory update are provided in Figure 3 as they relate to the GHG emission sector, and Table 7 as they pertain to GHG emission sector and the associated emission sources.
11 To provide a conservative estimate, electricity transmission and distribution losses are assumed to occur at the same rate as in 2019, at 1.1% of total electricity consumption.
12 Due to a lack of granular data for industrial natural gas consumption in 2010, the same total industrial natural gas consumption that was removed from the 2019 community GHG inventory was removed from the 2010 GHG inventory update. See the Data Evaluation and Methodology Memo for discussion of community natural gas activity data. 13 EMFAC2017 is the California Air Resources Board mobile emissions factors database. GHG emission factors used for emissions ca lculations are the average emission rates provided for each vehicle class, weighted by the model provided VMT for each vehicle class in the year 2010.

These emission factors include start-up emissions, which are considered separately in the 2035 GGRP. 14 Vehicle miles traveled via public transit are conservatively assumed to have not changed significantly between 2010 and 2019. 15 Water imported from Metropolitan Water District (MWD) is an additional included GHG emission source in the 2010 community GHG inventory update that was not included in the original inventory in the 2035 GGRP. The total imported water from MWD was obtained from the Burbank Water and Power 2010 Urban Water Management Plan. GHG emission calculation used the same energy intensity as included in the 2019 community GHG inventory, with an Emissions & Generation Resources Integrated Database (e-GRID) 2010 regional electricity emissions factor.

GHG Emission Reductions Progress Since 2010
The 2035 GGRP established a 2020 emission reduction target of 15% below 2010 GHG emission levels and a 2035 target of 30% below 2010 GHG emission levels. As of 2019, the City of Burbank has reduced GHG emission by 28%, exceeding the 2020 target and nearly meeting the 2035 target established in the original GGRP well in advance of the horizon year. The majority of these GHG emission reductions occurred in the transportation and energy sectors through increased efficiency and increased renewable energy procurement by BWP, as well as increased fuel efficiency in the on-road vehicle fleet. The water sector also experienced relatively significant GHG emission reductions through increased renewable energy procurement statewide. Table 8 provides an overview of the GHG emission reductions in each community emission source and sector between 2010 and 2019.

2. Calculation of the change in emissions for waste sent to landfill between 2010 and 2019 includes a combination of waste sent to landfill and waste-to-energy emissions from 2019.

Energy sector emission reductions can be directly attributed to increased energy efficiency and an increase in renewable energy generation and procurement. Between 2010 and 2019, Burbank’s population increased by approximately 2%; however, in the same time period residential electricity consumption decrease by 6%. This decrease in consumption can be attributed to the success of energy efficiency rebate and incentive programs provided by BWP, in which a total of 6,444 residential appliances in Burbank were replaced by more efficient ENERGY STAR appliances through BWP’s customer rebate and free installation programs.
16 While the breakout of residential natural gas
consumption is not provided in this assessment, it is likely that this program had a similar impact to reductions in natural gas emissions. Renewable energy generation also contributed to reductions in electricity consumption through the installation of photovoltaic systems at residential and commercial 16 Burbank, City of. 2019.

buildings, with approximately 6.6 megawatts of capacity installed between 2012 and 2019. 17 Further renewable energy procurement by BWP in this time frame also contributed significantly to emissions generated by grid purchased electricity, with GHG emissions attributed to non-residential electricity consumption decreasing by 24%, even though electricity consumption in this sector has increased by 128%. Direct attribution of emission reductions to specific measures implemented through the 2035 GGRP is difficult due to the variety of economic and consumer choice factors that can influence emission trends; however, there is clear indication that measure were successful in reducing residential energy consumption.

Transportation sector GHG emission reductions can be primarily attributed to reduced vehicle emissions from increased fuel efficiency and an estimated reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Different modeling methods were used for the 2010 and 2019 inventory years; therefore, challenges are presented in a direct comparison of policies that may have resulted in VMT reductions. The 2019 GHG inventory uses the SCAG 2016 Transportation Demand Model, which use up to date, regionally consistent demographics data to estimate VMT.

Waste sector GHG emission increased slightly, which is directly related to an increase in the amount of waste generated in Burbank that is sent to landfills. The 7% increase in emissions between 2010 and 2019 is a direct result of a 7% increase in waste sent to landfill. While the total waste generated may have increased in this time period as population and employment grew, diversion of recyclables and organics has resulted in a decrease in waste generation per service population. By implementing waste reduction policies and conforming with state waste reduction legislation, Burbank has experienced an effective reduction of waste landfilled from 0.451 tons landfilled per service population in 2010 to 0.383 tons landfilled per service population in 2019.
18 Water sector GHG emission sources also saw significant reductions in total emissions between 2010 and 2019. GHG emissions from water supply are generated by the energy used to convey, treat and distribute water, with imported water sources requiring a high energy intensity. Between 2010 and 2019, Burbank reduced its reliance on imported water by 25%. However, the primary driver for emission reductions in this sector result from the decreased carbon intensity of electricity used to supply water to Burbank.

GHG Emissions Forecast
A GHG emissions inventory sets a reference point for a single year; however, annual GHG emissions change over time due to factors such as population and job growth as well as new technologies and policies. A GHG emissions forecast estimates future GHG emission changes by accounting for projected community growth. Calculating the difference between the GHG emissions forecast and GHG emissions reduction targets set by a jurisdiction determines the gap in GHG emissions that needs to be closed through the implementation of local GHG reduction policies. This section includes an estimate of the future emissions for the City of Burbank in the years 2030, 2035 and 2045 in a business-as-usual scenario (BAU) forecast and a legislative adjusted scenario (adjusted) forecast, which are defined as follows:
 Business-as-usual scenario- Provides a forecast of how future GHG emissions would change if consumption trends continue as they did in 2019 and growth were to occur as projected in the City’s General Plan, absent any regulations that would reduce local emissions.  Legislative adjusted scenario- Provides a forecast of how currently adopted legislation would reduce GHG emissions from the business-as-usual scenario. The legislative adjusted scenario represents the state’s contribution to reducing local GHG emissions to meet state goals.

In addition, Rincon reviewed BWP’s long-range planning documents to determine how the projections were generated and determine if they should be included in this analysis (see the Relationship of GHG Emission Forecast Results and the BWP 2019 Integrated Resource Plan section for a detailed discussion of BWP’s applicable long-range plans). The adjusted forecast incorporates the impact of state regulations that provide GHG emission reduction potential to offer a more accurate picture of future GHG emission growth and the responsibility of the City for GHG reductions.

Business-as-usual Scenario GHG Emissions Forecast
The BAU forecast provides an estimate of how GHG emissions would change in the forecast years if consumption trends continue as in 2019, absent any new regulations or actions which would reduce local GHG emissions. Future GHG emissions were calculated by multiplying projected activity data under the BAU forecast with baseline emission factors, established by the 2019 community GHG emissions inventory. Several indicator growth rates were developed from 2019 activity data and GHG emission levels for GHG emission sectors and applied to demographic projections to estimate future year emissions. On-road transportation and off-road equipment GHG emissions were alternatively projected using modeled activity data and emissions. Emission factors for the BAU forecast remain constant for all forecast years, derived from the 2019 community GHG emissions inventory. To simplify calculations, GHG emission sources that did not contribute to total GHG emissions in the community GHG inventory are not accounted for in the BAU forecast, including local water supply emissions and wastewater collection and treatment energy consumption. A description of the demographic metrics used to project activity data and associated growth factors for each forecasted GHG emission source are provided in Table 9 for each for the GHG emission sources in the 2019 community GHG emissions inventory.

Legislative Adjusted Scenario GHG Emissions Forecast
Several federal and state regulations have been enacted that would reduce Burbank’s GHG emissions below the BAU forecasted levels in 2030, 2035, and 2045. The impact of these regulations was quantified and incorporated into the adjusted forecast to provide a more accurate depiction of future emissions growth and the GHG emission reduction responsibility of Burbank, once established state regulations have been implemented. The state legislation included in the adjusted forecast result in GHG emission reductions related to transportation, building efficiency and renewable electricity. A brief description of each regulation and the methodology used to calculate associated reductions is provided in the following, as well as a description of why specific legislation was excluded from the analysis.

Transportation Legislation
Major regulations incorporated into the CARB’s 2017 transportation modeling include Advanced Clean Car Standards (LEV III, ZEV program, etc.), Senate Bill 1, and Phase 2 Federal GHG Standards and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles. Additional reductions were calculated for the newly promulgated Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulations from the CARB.

Signed into law in 2002, AB 1493 (Pavley Standards) required vehicle manufacturers to reduce GHG emissions from new passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks from 2009 through 2016. Regulations were adopted by the CARB in 2004 and took effect in 2009 when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) issued a waiver confirming California’s right to implement the bill. The CARB anticipates the Pavley I standard to reduce GHG emissions from new California passenger vehicles by about 30% in 2016, while simultaneously improving fuel efficiency and reducing motorists’ costs. 21 Prior to 2012, mobile emission regulations were implemented on a case-by-case basis for GHG and criteria pollutant emissions separately. In January 2012, the CARB approved a new emissions-control program known as the Advanced Clean Cars program combining the control of smog, soot-causing pollutants, and GHG emissions into a single coordinated package of requirements for passenger cars and light trucks for model years 2017 through 2025. The Advanced Clean Cars program coordinates the goals of the Low Emissions Vehicles, Zero Emissions Vehicles, and Clean Fuels Outlet programs into a single coordinated package of requirements for model years 2017 to 2025. The new standards will reduce GHG emissions by 34% in 2025.
22 Reductions in GHG emissions from the above referenced standards were calculated using CARB’s EMFAC2017 model for Los Angeles County. The newly updated EMFAC2017 model integrates the estimated reductions from state and federal transportation legislation into the mobile source emissions portion of the model.
23 The degree to which GHG emissions from on-road transportation will be reduced 21 CARB. Clean Car Standards – Pavley, Assembly Bill 1493. May 2013. http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ccms/ccms.htm 22 CARB.

(https://www.arb.ca.gov/msei/downloads/emfac2017-volume-iii-technical-documentation.pdf). Note that the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) regulation is excluded from EMFAC2017 because most of the emissions benefits due to the LCFS come from the production cycle ( upstream emissions) of the fuel rather than the combustion cycle (tailpipe). As a result, LCFS is assumed to not have a significant impact on CO2 emissions from EMFAC’s tailpipe emission estimates.

can be quantified as the difference between transportation emissions calculated using the 2019 provided emission factors and calculated using the reduced emission factors for the target years.

Public transit GHG emissions will also be reduced in the future through the Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation, which was adopted in December 2018. It requires all public transit agencies to gradually transition to a 100-percent zero-emission bus fleet by 2040. Under ICT, large transit agencies are expected to adopt Zero-Emission Bus Rollout Plans to establish a roadmap towards zero emission public transit buses.24
At the time of this forecast, the future impacts of state legislation on tailpipe emission standard in California remains uncertain due to the federal Safer Affordable Fuel Efficient (SAFE) Rule. The SAFE Rule proposes to amend certain existing Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and GHG emission standards.
25 This specifically affects the ability of California to set its own fuel efficiency standards that supersede federal standards. The sunset year of the SAFE Rule is 2026, which is before the 2030, 2035, and 2045 target years of the GGRP Update. Thus, there is uncertainty in the long-term impact that the SAFE Rule may have on GHG emissions and its impact is excluded from this analysis.

Title 24
The California Code of Regulations Title 24, Part 6: California’s Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings, was first adopted in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate to reduce California’s energy consumption, which in turn reduces fossil fuel consumption and associated GHG emissions. The standards are updated triennially to allow consideration and possible incorporation of new energy-efficient technologies and methods. Since the 2019 GHG inventory year, the 2019 Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards have come into effect, creating significantly more efficient new building stock. For example, new residential developments must include on-site solar generation and near-zero net energy use. For projects implemented after January 1, 2020, the California Energy Commission (CEC) estimates that the 2019 standards will reduce consumption by 54% for residential buildings and 30% for commercial buildings, relative to the 2016 standards. The CEC further estimates that 2022 and 2025 will result in efficiency increases of five percent for both residential and non-residential uses. This diminishing return is largely due to the achievement of zero net energy in the 2019 code cycle and uncertainty in the 2019 California Energy Efficiency Action Plan for achieving non-residential energy efficiency savings. These percentage savings relate to space heating and cooling, lighting, and water heating only and do not include other appliances, outdoor lighting that is not attached to buildings, plug loads, or other energy uses.

The calculations and GHG emissions forecast assume that all future growth in the residential and non- residential sectors results in energy increases in newly constructed buildings. Accordingly, Title 24 is expected to reduce energy consumption from the BAU forecast levels by a percentage of the additional energy use above the levels in 2019. The 2019, 2022, and 2025 Title 24 requirements would reduce the consumption below baseline by a total of 54% for non-residential growth and by 30% for residential growth in each forecast year.

The SB 32 Scoping Plan calls for the continuation of ongoing triennial updates to Title 24 that will yield regular increases in the mandatory energy and water savings for new construction. Future updates to Title 24 standards for residential and non-residential alterations past 2025 are not taken into consideration due to lack of data and certainty about the magnitude of energy savings that will be realized with each subsequent update.

Renewables Portfolio Standard & Senate Bill 100
Established in 2002 under Senate Bill 1078, enhanced in 2015 by Senate Bill 350, and accelerated in 2018 under Senate Bill 100, California's Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) is one of the most ambitious renewable energy standards in the country. The RPS program requires investor-owned utilities, publicly owned utilities, electricity service providers, and community choice aggregators to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 50% of total procurement by 2026 and 60% of total procurement by 2030. The RPS program further requires these entities to increase procurement from GHG-free sources to 100% of total procurement by 2045.

BWP currently provides electricity to the City of Burbank and is subject to the RPS requirements. BWP’s emission factors that included compliance with RPS were used to project emissions through 2045. Based on the future RPS estimates provided in the BWP 2019 Integrated Resource Plan, 26 Table 12 provides
the estimated electricity emission factors that would result from SB 100.

State Legislation not Considered in the Adjusted Forecast The following discussion highlights state legislation that plays an integral role in reducing GHG emissions; however, were not included in the GHG emissions forecast calculations as they will be addressed in the GGRP Update.

Assembly Bill 939 & Assembly Bill 341
In 2011, AB 341 set the target of 75% recycling, composting, or source reduction of solid waste by 2020 calling for the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to take a statewide approach to decreasing California’s reliance on landfills. This target was an update to the former target of 50% waste diversion set by AB 939. As of 2018, the most recent year for which data is 26 Burbank Water and Power. 2019.

Senate Bill 1383
In 2016, SB 1383 established a methane emission reduction target for short-lived climate pollutants28 (SLCP) in various sectors of the economy. Specifically, SB 1383 establishes targets to achieve a 50% reduction in the level of the statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020 and a 75% reduction by 2025 (CalRecycle 2019).29 Additionally, SB 1383 requires a 20% reduction in “current” edible food disposal by 2025. Although SB 1383 has been signed into law, compliance at the jurisdiction- level has proven difficult. For example, Santa Clara County, in their SB 1383 Rulemaking Overview presentation (June 20, 2018),30 suggest that the 75% reduction in organics is not likely achievable under the current structure; standardized bin colors are impractical; and the general requirement is too prescriptive. As such, SB 1383 has not been included as part of the adjusted forecast. Instead measures addressing compliance with SB 1383 will be addressed through GHG reduction measures included in the GGRP Update.

Senate Bill X7-7
SB X7-7, also known as the Water Conservation Act of 2009, requires that all water suppliers increase their water use efficiency. SB X7-7 establishes an urban water use reduction target of 20% below 2010 per capita daily water use levels by 2020. The most recent water use reduction targets are typically provided in 2015 Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs). Because water reduction policies play an important role in GHG reduction and climate resilience, measures addressing water conservation will be addressed through GHG reduction measures included in the GGRP Update.

Legislative GHG Emission Reduction Contribution
Based on the above described legislation and emission reduction potential for each, the City of Burbank can expect significant help from these state regulations in meeting state GHG emission reduction goals.

These GHG emissions reductions primarily contribute to the energy sector and transportation sectors, with some impact from SB 100 on GHG emissions from imported water. A summary of the reductions from the BAU forecast that can be expected under the adjusted forecast are provided in Table 13.

In the adjusted emissions forecast, the electricity and water sectors all experience a strong downward trend, approaching near-zero in 2045 due to stringent RPS requirements from SB 100. Natural gas emissions are expected to continue an upward trajectory until 2045 due to population and employment growth projections. This trend is partially offset due to the increasingly stringent efficiency requirements for new construction in the upcoming Title 24 code cycles. Transportation emissions are expected to decrease sharply in the next 10 to 15 years due to existing fuel efficiency requirements and fleet turnover rates. As most current regulations expire in 2025 or 2030, emissions standards will experience diminishing returns while VMT continues to increase, leading to lower rates of emissions reduction in the transportation sector. A detailed summary of Burbank’s projected GHG emissions under the adjusted forecast by sector and year through 2045 can be found in Table 14.

Relationship of GHG Emission Forecast Results and the BWP 2019 Integrated Resource Plan
In 2019, the Burbank City Council adopted the BWP 2019 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which is a long- range planning document designed to provide policy guidance for BWP’s electric supply to its customers over the next 20 years. As part of the IRP, BWP estimates future electricity consumption in the City of Burbank between 2019 and 2038 under scenarios with and without the impacts of incremental BWP actions for customer-side energy resources (i.e. energy efficiency programs and increased demand from electric vehicles). The 2019 IRP also provides BWP’s projected future renewable energy procurement to demonstrate compliance with SB 100, which is included in the calculation of the adjusted forecast describe in the current memorandum.
31 A discussion of the forecasted energy consumption in both the 2019 IRP and GHG emission forecast results is provided to highlight that both provide similar estimates of future energy consumption, and slightly different results are due to modeling assumptions and baseline inputs.

While the energy forecasts included in the IRP utilize multiple variables, including population, economics, and increases in solar PV generation, the results follow the same general trend as the model included in the GHG emissions forecast. The energy forecasts in the 2019 IRP are likely more accurate estimate of the energy consumption that could be included in GHG emissions forecast under the legislative adjusted scenario; however, challenges are presented in aligning this data with the current 2019 GHG inventory results.

Data for total electricity retail sales provided by BWP for the 2019 GHG inventory, based on real electricity sales, are approximately 9% lower than the projected retail sales provided in the 2019 IRP. 32 While it is reasonable that the actual data for 2019 does not exactly match projections provided in the 2019 IRP, this discrepancy presents a challenge for using the 2019 IRP projected energy consumption for the GHG emissions forecast without manipulating the 2019 IRP data to more closely match the GHG inventory data. However, even though the 2019 baseline data does not precisely match, when projecting the data forward in the adjusted scenario forecast, electricity consumption approaches the energy demand forecasted in the 2019 IRP through 2035, with an approximate 1% difference in 2030 and 2035. In both the GHG emissions forecast and the 2019 IRP electricity demand is forecasted assuming that Title 24 will reduce energy consumption; however other nuances between the models likely have an additional impact to the discrepancy. In consideration of the challenge with aligning the baseline energy consumption in the 2019 GHG emission inventory with the projected 2019 IRP energy consumption, both modeled scenarios follow the same general trend providing confidence in using the electricity consumption forecast generated in the GHG emissions forecast. Additional energy efficiency measures identified in the 2019 IRP will be included in the GHG reduction measures of the GGRP Update.

Provisional GHG Emissions Reduction Target Setting
GHG reduction targets can be set as either an efficiency target (MT CO2e per capita) or as a community- wide mass emissions target (total MT CO2e). With CARB’s 2017 Scoping Plan Update, the state recommended using efficiency metrics for local targets to incentivize growth in a coordinated manner and not penalize cities which are growing at significant rates.33 Throughout this section, targets are discussed in terms of per capita metrics; however, they must occasionally be translated into absolute emissions reductions to quantify reduction measures and identify the magnitude of reductions required.

GHG Emissions Reduction Target Setting
Target setting is an iterative process which must be informed by the reductions that can realistically be achieved through the development of feasible GHG reduction measures. As such, the targets identified herein should remain provisional until the quantification and analysis of potential GHG reduction measures has been completed. The purpose of target setting is to develop the trajectory toward achieving the state’s 2030 goal and prepare for the deep decarbonization needed by 2045 in a cost- effective manner by setting an incremental path toward achieving the EO B-55-18 goals. As such, it is recommended that the City first strive to exceed the SB 32 targets of reducing GHG emissions 40% below 1990 levels, while establishing a policy framework to achieve the long-term target of carbon neutrality by 2045.

To maintain consistency with the 2035 GGRP, GHG emission reduction targets will be set based on the 2010 community GHG inventory. The 2035 GGRP established the following GHG emission reduction targets:
 Reduce GHG emissions to 15% below 2010 levels by 2020 (AB 32 target year) and  Reduce GHG emissions to 30% below 2010 levels by 2035.

With the GHG reduction legislation enacted by the state since adoption of the 2035 GGRP, we recommend updating the original targets which were based on AB 32, to levels which are consistent the current state goals established by SB 32 and EO B-55-18. These update targets would be:
 Reduce GHG emissions to 49% below 2010 levels by 2030 (SB 32 target year),  Reduce GHG emissions to 66% below 2010 levels by 2035 (General Plan horizon year), and  Achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 (EO B-55-18 target year).

While State legislation compares emissions reduction targets to a 1990 baseline, the targets provided here for the City are compared to a 2010 baseline. Consistent with the methodology used for setting targets in the 2013 GGRP, 1990 GHG emission levels are assumed to be 15% below 2010 levels. 34 Table
15 provides a description of the calculations performed to convert the State’s 1990 baseline targets to align with the City’s 2010 baseline.

The recommended interim target GHG reductions of 66% below 2010 levels by 2035 sets a point for monitoring progress on the pathway to carbon neutrality at the General Plan horizon year. The long- term reduction targets are provisional and may need to be adjusted based on the reductions that can realistically be achieved from feasible GHG reduction measures that will be identified during the GHG reduction planning process. The intent of the GGRP Update will be to demonstrate substantial progress toward the long-term State reduction targets. New opportunities are anticipated to emerge that could yield additional reductions beyond those identified in this GGRP Update. Another phase of local GHG reduction planning will be needed to continue and expand the actions in the GGRP Update and to explore new strategies to meet the 2045 GHG reduction goal.

With GHG emission reduction targets in place, the reduction gap that the City will be responsible for through local action can be calculated. The GGRP Update will assess the GHG reduction gap based on the difference between the legislative adjusted scenario GHG emissions forecast, discussed previously, and the established GHG reduction targets. Table 16 provides a summary of the GHG emission reduction targets and gap in both mass emissions and per capita emissions metrics. The per capita targets are calculated by dividing forecasted GHG emissions by the expected City population in each target year.

Meeting the Targets
The 2030, 2035, and 2045 targets identified above will be achieved through a combination of existing state measures and the implementation of local measures that are identified in the Burbank GGRP Update. Local measures were identified through a comprehensive assessment of existing local and regional policies, programs, and actions and by assessing any gaps and identifying additional opportunities. Additional measures were developed from best practices of other similar and neighboring jurisdictions, as well as those recommended by organizations and agencies, such as the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), the Office of Planning and Research, CARB’s 2017 Scoping Plan, and Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP).

The following memorandum documents the calculation of Year 2019, 2030, 2045 and 2050 Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) attributable to the City of Burbank as part of the analysis for the City’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory.

VMT Definition
VMT is calculated by multiplying the number of vehicles by their distance traveled. There are two methods of calculating VMT: link -based VMT and zone -based VMT. Link -based VMT calculates the VMT on each roadway segments aggregated to calculate total VMT within the City. The link -based method of VMT calculation is useful for Noise and Air quality purposes but it does not calculate the total VMT attributable to City residents, businesses and educational facilities since it includes VMT associated with through trips and excludes the portion of the trip that occurs outside of the City. For the purposes of GHG and SB 375 calculations, the zone-based VMT methodology is used as described below.

Zone-Based VMT
A zone-based VMT calculation identifies the total number of trips produced by, or attracted to, a zone (area of the City) and multiplies it by the full length of the trip from its origin to destination. The number of trips and the length of the trip is calculated using a traffic model. For this study, the SCAG Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) model was used. This model generates trips for several trip purposes separately (such as Home to Work, Home to School etc.) which have different characteristics and average trip lengths. The model also generates trips separately by vehicle class (autos and trucks) and time period (AM, Midday, PM, Evening and Nighttime) and aggregates these time periods, vehicle classes and trip purposes to calculate daily VMT. The current SCAG model has scenarios for Existing (Year 2017) and Future (Year 2040) Conditions. The VMT for the analysis years was interpolated or extrapolated from these model two years. The City of Burbank is represented by twenty-four zones known as Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) in the SCAG model as shown in Figure 1. The SCAG TAZ boundaries are contiguous with the City boundary.

VMT Calculation
Daily VMT by zone was calculated by multiplying the SCAG origin-destination trip tables by travel distance (“skims”) from the model highway assignment for each time period separately. Each time is calculated separately because travel paths between origin a nd destination (and the resulting VMT) can vary due in congested versus uncongested travel conditions . The time periods were summed together to calculate the daily VMT. Zone-based VMT was calculated for four different categories:

1. Travel wholly within the City boundaries (Internal to Internal)

2. Trips originating within the City but ending outside the City (Internal to External)

3. Trips originating outside the City and ending inside the City (External to Internal)

4. Trips with origins and destinations outside the City (External to External) Internal (I) External (X)

For the purposes of GHG estimation the VMT associated with “External to External” trips are not attributable to the City. By convention only 50 percent of the VMT associated with “Internal to External” and “External to Internal” trips are allocated to the City itself and the other 50 percent allocated to the non-City (or “external”) end on the trip.

Table 1 shows the VMT extracted from the SCAG RTP model attributable to the City of Burbank for Years 2019, 2030, 2045 and 2050 after factoring 50 percent for Internal-External and External-Internal Trips.

Annual VMT was calculated by multiplying the typical daily VMT from the model by a daily to annual factor 347 which was obtained from SCAG. The current annual VMT attributable to the City is approximately 1.2 billion miles.

Several TAZs show a declining VMT in the future scenarios. The likely reason for this is improved transit service which offset growth in these areas including improved rail service, High-speed rail and the new Burbank Airport North station as well as the future North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit service (BRT) as shown in Figure 5

VMT associated with transit trips is not typically included in zone-based VMT calculations since there are multiple trip origins and destination for each bus. Instead link -based VMT was calculated for the transit lines operating within the City of Burbank. Nine existing Metro transit routes traverse the City as shown in Figure 6, as well as three Burbank Bus routes shown in Figure 7 . The link-based VMT associated with bus travel within the City is shown in Table 5 and is aproximately 760,00 vehicle miles per year.

1 Introduction
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183.5(b) establishes criteria to guide the preparation of a “plan for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.” Subsection (D) notes that a CEQA Guideline-consistent greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction plan (GGRP) must include, “measures or a group of measures, including performance standards, that substantial evidence demonstrates, if implemented on a project-by-project basis, would collectively achieve the specified emissions level.” This appendix details the evidence to demonstrate that the Measures and Actions included in the Burbank GGRP Update can achieve the City’s emission reduction targets for 2030.

The City of Burbank (City) has established GHG emissions reduction targets which are consistent with California’s GHG reduction goals established by Assembly Bill (AB) 32, Senate Bill (SB) 32 and Executive Order (EO) B-55-18. The City established a target that was consistent with the State’s AB 32 goal as part of the City’s 2013 GGRP, which called for reducing community GHG emissions 15 percent below baseline levels by 2020. After the adoption of the 2013 GGRP, SB 32 was enacted by the State in 2016, establishing a statewide goal of reducing GHG emission to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.

Furthermore, in 2018, EO B-55-18 set a long-term goal of statewide carbon neutrality by 2045. To focus efforts on achieving the 2030 and 2045 goals, the City is building upon previous efforts in the 2013 GGRP, to exceed the near-term State GHG reduction goals of reducing emissions an additional 40% below 1990 levels and work towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.

To maintain consistency with the targets adopted in the 2013 GGRP, the reduction targets specific to the City are assessed using their 2010 Community GHG Inventory as the baseline for future emission reductions. Accordingly, the City has established targets that assume 1990 levels are 15 percent below the 2010 Community GHG inventory levels, resulting in a GHG reduction target for AB 32 of 15 percent below 2010 levels by 2020, and a target for SB 32 of 49 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. 1 The City
has also established a long-term target of carbon neutrality by 2045. Table 1 provides the calculation of the effective emission reduction targets using a 2010 baseline as compared to the targets established by the State through AB 32 and SB 32 using a 1990 baseline.

1 Pursuant to the California AB 32 Scoping Plan, the City’s baseline GHG emissions were estimated and reduced by 15 percent to estimate a 2020 year target. The used a 2010 GHG inventory as their baseline and set a target to reduce emissions from 2010 levels by 15 percent, based on the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) General Plan Guidelines recommendations. While OPR recommends using a baseline between the years 2005 and 2008, use of a 2010 baseline is considered more conservative as the State’s total annual GHG emissions have decreased significantly between 2008 and 2010.

1. The 15% reduction below Baseline establishes an estimate of 1990 emission levels for the City. This is based on the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research General Plan Guidelines.

2. AB 32 establishes a GHG reduction target of reducing GHG emissions to below 1990 levels by 2020.

3. SB 32 establishes a GHG reduction target of reducing GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.

4. EO B-55-18 establishes a GHG reduction target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.

As of 2019, the City has exceeded its 2020 emission reduction target, having effectively reduced GHG emissions to 28 percent below 2010 levels.

To reach the targets that align with State GHG reduction goals, the City has established GHG emission sector specific GHG reduction goals and foundational actions (Measures and Actions). Each of the Measures is designed to mitigate GHG emissions associated with a specific sector. The GHG reductions were calculated using published third-party evidence provided through controlled investigations, studies, and articles carried out by qualified experts that establish the effectiveness for Measures and Actions. Further, the Measures and Actions were developed to achieve the 2030 target and make substantial progress towards the 2045 target. The estimates and underlying calculations provided in this report include the substantial evidence and a transparent approach to achieving the City’s GHG emissions reduction target.

The City partnered with Rincon Consultants Inc. (Rincon) to identify a quantified path to achieving these goals. Rincon worked closely with City staff, stakeholders, and the community to craft and refine comprehensive, realistic, and achievable Measures and Actions that can meet or exceed the GHG reduction targets while reflecting the conditions and character of the Burbank community. The quantification in this report is intended to illustrate one of several viable paths to pursue as the Measures and Actions of the GGRP Update are implemented at full scale. As required in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b)(e), mechanisms to monitor the GRRP Update’s progress toward achieving the GHG emission reductions provided in this report have been established through the GGRP Update development process. If, based on the tracking of community GHG emissions, the City is found to not be on target to reach the GHG reduction levels specified here for meeting SB 32 targets, the GGRP as a whole or specific Measures and Actions will be amended and revisions to the current GGRP Update will be prepared that includes altered or additional Measures and Actions and evidence that upon implementation will achieve the City’s targets.

The quantification in this report also provides substantial evidence that the City can achieve consistency with SB 32’s target of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 (or 49% below 2010 levels) Measures are summarized by specific sector Strategies, as outlined in Table 2.

reduction goal and provide substantial progress to achieve the 2045 goal of carbon neutrality. The reduction Measures and Actions reflect local policy and document industry best practices towards decarbonization. The emissions reduction from the Actions are calculated individually to identify the total GHG reduction associated with each. Some Measures and Actions provide minimal or non- quantifiable GHG emissions reduction or don’t have sufficient evidence to support a reduction calculation; however, they support the implementation and sustainability of the Measure and overall GGRP itself through education, teaming with the community, promoting equity, identifying funding, evaluating feasibility, and increasing resilience to the impacts of climate. These Measures and Actions are considered supportive. The supportive Measures include T-2.1, and CG-1.1. Additionally, there are some Measures that have GHG reduction potential but GHG emissions reduction have not been quantified, which are denoted as not quantified. These Measures have not been quantified due to either a either a lack of relevant and available data to support substantial evidence for GHG emissions quantification, or the emissions reduction occurs in a year that is not one of the target years (2030 or 2045) and there is risk of double counting the emissions reductions in the target years. Measure that have not quantified emissions reduction include: EG-1.1, T-1.2, W-1.1, and CG-1.2. A summary of the expected GHG emissions reduction from each of the quantifiable Measures in 2030 and 2045 are provided Table 3.

Notes: MT CO2e = metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Measure EG-1.1, W-1.1, and CG-1.2 have no emissions reduction potential for 2045, as these measure related specifically to GHG emissions generated by electricity consumption, which is expected to be carbon-neutral by 2045 per the requirements of Senate Bill 100.

To assess the magnitude of GHG emissions reduction needed to contribute a fair share GHG emissions reduction towards achieving the State’s goal for 2030 (40% below 1990 levels) and 2045 (carbon neutrality), the City developed a business-as-usual scenario GHG emissions forecast which assessed the impact of future population growth on the City’s GHG emissions. From the business-as-usual scenario, a legislative adjusted scenario was developed which accounts for the impacts of State and federal policies on GHG emissions. The difference between the business-as-usual and legislative adjusted scenarios was used to calculate the GHG emissions reduction the City would be responsible for to meet its emissions reduction targets.
2 The combined annual reductions from existing State and federal law is expected to result in a reduction of 295,896 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MT CO2e) by 2030 and 674,026 MT CO2e by 2045. The combined local reductions from the Measures and Actions would result in a reduction of 90,347 MT CO2e in 2030 and 333,943 MT CO2e in 2045. In reference to the GHG reduction targets established using the 2010 Community GHG Inventory, conducted as part of the 2013 GGRP, this results in a total 745,021 MT CO2e, or 49 percent, reduction below the 2010 baseline in 2030, and an 1,315,452 MT CO2e, or 87 percent, reduction below the baseline projected in 2045. When translating this information to the reductions necessary to meet the State targets 2 The City has identified targets for 2030 (40% below 1990 levels) and 2045 (carbon neutrality) that are consistent with the State’s goals and are intended to establish a level, based on substantial evidence, below which the contribution to GHG emissions from activities covered by this GGRP Update would not be cumulatively considerable ATTACHMENT 1-197

established by SB 32 (i.e., 40 percent reduction in GHG emissions below 1990 levels) the total GHG emission reductions are anticipated to exceed it by 3,792 MT CO2e. The GHG emissions forecast scenarios, targets, and emissions reductions attained from the Measures are provided in Table 4.

2. The emissions reductions required to meet the 2045 goal will be addressed in future iterations of the GGRP through new and potentially unknown technologies that allow furthering of the following efforts: full electrification of building and transportation systems, an increased shift to shared and active mobility, and increased waste reduction and diversion The remaining gap to reach carbon neutrality in 2045 remains at 197,261 MT CO2e. While the Measures and Actions identified in this GGRP Update will lead to significant progress in reducing in GHG emissions towards achieving net carbon neutrality, achieving the 2045 goal will require additional changes to the technology, legislation and systems currently in place at both the State and local level and will require further policies and programs that build on this plan. Future GGRP updates will outline new measures needed to reach the ultimate target of carbon neutrality every five years after adoption of the GGRP Update.
3 With implementation of the Measures and Actions in the GGRP Update, the 2030 State goals can be reasonably achieved through local actions and substantial progress towards reaching the long-term goal of carbon neutrality can be demonstrated. While the GGRP Update does not provide the GHG emissions reduction to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, it provides evidence-based actions the City can take towards eventually attaining this target, and includes a schedule for regular updates to the GGRP at a five year interval to allow for incorporation of new strategies that reflect updates to technology and legislation that could contribute to achieving carbon neutrality. It also illustrates the that reaching carbon neutrality will require significant additional effort and support from the state and federal governments.
33 Consistent with AEP Climate Change Committee recommendations, SB 32 is considered an interim target toward meeting the 2045 State goal. Consistency with SB 32 is considered to be contributing substantial progress toward meeting the State’s long-term 2045 goals. Avoiding interference with, and making substantial progress toward, these long-term State targets is important as these targets have been set at levels that achieve California’s fair share of international emissions reduction targets that will stabilize global climate change effects and avoid the adverse environmental consequences described under Section 3.1.3, Potential Effects of Climate Change (Executive Order B-55-18).

1.2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Calculation
Methodology
The analysis and emissions reduction calculations for each of the Measures of the GGRP Update outlined in the following pages includes:
▪ Description of background behind the Measure and the basis for GHG emissions reduction. ▪ Description of the methodology and assumptions for calculating GHG emissions reduction for applicable Measures and Actions, including reference to data sources. ▪ A summary of the GHG reduction impact results of GHG emissions reduction calculations. ▪ Summary table of the impact that the specific Measure has on the overall GHG profile of the City in 2030 and 2045.

GHG emissions reduction calculations use conservative values to avoid over-representing the GHG emissions reduction potential for any individual Action or Measure. Special care has been taken to avoid double counting GHG emissions reduction for Measures and Actions.

Limitations and uncertainties regarding future trends in technology, behavior, and social norms are discussed in the final section of this analysis. Given time and the increasing shifts in financial markets, private industry, and governmental programs towards carbon reduction programs, these shifts will help to close the gap between Burbank’s projected GHG reductions and carbon neutrality. These developments would be considered in future regular updates to the plan.

▪ Energy Generation
▪ Reduce Passenger Car Vehicle Miles Traveled
▪ Transportation Demand Management
▪ Zero-Emission Vehicles
▪ Parking
▪ Water-Energy Nexus
▪ Organic Waste Diversion
▪ Carbon Sequestration
▪ City Government Leadership
This document is summarized similarly and the substantial evidence for each quantifiable Measure and Action is detailed below.

2.1 Cornerstone
Measure C-1.1 Lead by example by focusing on equity constraints associated with existing building electrification by leveraging BWP’s operations and efficiency programs to develop an Affordable Housing Electrification Program to lead Burbank’s electrification targets through retrofitting low-income and affordable housing units in Burbank to all electric, retrofitting 100 affordable housing units by 2030 and all 320 affordable housing units owned by Burbank Housing Corporation in the City by 2045.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
The Cornerstone Measure represents a unique GHG reduction Measure that is specific to and a focus of pride for the community and clearly illustrates the six pillars that facilitate transformational change by engaging the community and fulfilling GHG emissions reduction goals. The six pillars of a well-designed GHG reduction strategy include:
▪ Education: engage and empower residents
▪ Structural Change: establish policy framework to support proposed changes ▪ Associated GHG Reductions: target emissions reduction for long-term sustainability and short- term air quality improvements
▪ Equity: provide for inclusive participation in decision making ▪ Connectivity: promote access to community resources
ATTACHMENT 1-200
EXHIBIT 1
▪ Economical: cost-effective efforts that benefit resilience and sustainability Measure C-1.1 embodies these ideas, maximizing the benefits associated with having Burbank Water and Power (BWP) and Burbank Housing Corporation to lead by example by focusing modernization and decarbonization of disadvantage housing. This measure works to establish a program that provides clean and safe energy to residents in low-income and affordable housing units, breaking down the equity barriers that inhibit the most vulnerable community members from having safe and comfortable housing that can be found in all-electric homes. The program first works towards establishing connectivity and education by partnering with the Burbank Housing Corporation and exploring opportunities with other non-profit groups for installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy generation at low-income housing units, in addition to providing workforce training. The structural change aspect of this measure is the establishment of a policy that will fund the transition away from fossil fuels by electrifying buildings, which also has associated reductions in GHG emissions. Lastly, building electrification is proven to be economical for building occupants, because it will be partially funded through a BWP program and not add costs to Burbank Housing Corporation Residents that could result from the passing of costs of retrofits performed by private property owners. 4 Background
Equity is the primary driver of Measure C-1.1 and the associated Actions by creating a mechanism to include low-income families in the health and resilience benefits that can be achieved through retrofitting housing units to be all-electric, without passing the costs of retrofits on to economically disadvantaged residents through increased rental fees. There are numerous benefits to building electrification, including: reduced exposure to harmful indoor air pollutants from the combustion of natural gas in poorly ventilated rooms,
5 increased resilience to extreme weather events with cost- effective space heating and air conditioning,
6 and protection from energy bill burdens that are expected from future increases in natural gas prices.
7 These issues are of specific concern to low-income and disadvantaged communities, and the City has a unique opportunity to increase equitable access to the benefits of electrification .

The City of Burbank currently provides affordable housing through partnership with the non-profit Burbank Housing Corporation, which owns and operates approximately 320 affordable housing units within the City.
8 The majority of these units are medium to high-density residential units built or renovated around the year 2006. With most of these units being around 15 years old, it presents an opportunity to perform upgrades to the water and space heating, as well as the cooking appliances that are likely near their end of life. Replacing this equipment with new and efficient all-electric versions contributes to on-bill energy savings, since electric heat-pumps used for water and space heating have up to 400 percent efficiency.
9 This reduction in energy bill burden can help low-income 4 Gridworks. 2019. California’s Gas System in Transition. https://gridworks.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/GW_Calif-Gas-System-report-

households maintain equitable access energy when energy needs for space heating and cooling are high. In addition to the reduction in energy bills, with the conversion to all-electric, these housing units will have decreasing GHG emissions associated with their energy use over time as electricity provided by BWP will become increasingly renewable and GHG-neutral sources, with the goal of eventually becoming GHG-neutral in 2040 (Measure EG-1.1).

The conversion of units to all-electric can be aligned to fit into the scheduled improvements of affordable housing units by providing resources, including discounted electric equipment and appliances, and technical assistance with electrical panel upgrades (Action C-1.1.c). Furthering this effort to include more affordable housing units will require investigation into the costs associated with equipment replacement and upgrades to electric panels and circuits (Action C-1.1.d). This assessment will provide a cost estimate to inform a pilot project for retrofitting an entire building of affordable housing units. (Action C-1.1.f).

Measure C-1.1 also aims to further the reach of existing building electrification into all 320 units owned by the Burbank Housing Corporation to set in motion the pathway towards carbon neutrality by 2045.

A significant challenge of reaching this long-term goal will be removing fossil fuels from all buildings in the next 24 years. As part of Measure C-1.1, BWP will expand its current low-income Refrigerator Exchange Program to include heat-pump water heaters and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units (Action C-1.1.a). This will help low-income residents to receive the benefits of highly efficient electric equipment in their homes when they may not otherwise have the initial capital to make the upgrades. BWP will also explore funding mechanisms, such as tariffed on-bill financing or utilizing some of the increased revenues from electrification adoption, to provide renters and home and building owners with assistance in financing or covering a portion of the cost of appliance and electrical panel and wiring upgrades (Actions C-1.1.i and C-1.1.j). Furthering this effort in the longer term (2030 and beyond), will be the identification of a pilot project for electrification of a complete neighborhood/block of buildings comprised of low-income and affordable housing units. This type of larger scale project allows opportunities for cost savings in bulk equipment purchases and electrical system upgrades, as well as potential for natural gas infrastructure pruning. 10 Methodology and Assumptions
The GHG emissions reduction impact of Measure C-1.1 results from the reduced reliance on natural gas in the community. The emissions reduction associated with Measures C-1.1 for the year 2030 result primarily from the implementation of Actions C-1.1.c and C-1.1.f; however, the success of this Action is dependent on implementation of Action C-1.1.d. These GHG reductions are from electrification of affordable housing units under the ownership of the Burbank Housing Corporation. The emissions reduction for the year 2045 account for the electrification of all current affordable housing units owned by the Burbank Housing Corporation, which is 320 units. 11 The target number of homes to be retrofit to become all-electric by 2030 is 100 units, which is based on the replacement cycle of typical home appliances and an effort by BWP to retrofit an entire building 10 Natural gas infrastructure pruning is a process for cutting off the flow of natural gas to a block of buildings. The majority of costs of natural gas service for ratepayers is comprised of the cost of maintaining natural infrastructure. As electrification of buildings continues, reducing the amount of natural gas infrastructure that must be maintained can help reduce the overall cost of natural gas service to customers. The electrification of larger areas allows for less stranded natural gas assets that will continue to need maintenance into the future. Source:

of affordable housing units. Of the approximately 320 affordable housing units owned or operated by Burbank Housing Corporation, 259 were built or last modified after 2008. The 2018 U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, Updated Buildings Sector Appliance and Equipment Cost and Efficiencies, provides the average lifespans of various equipment types, showing that residential gas fired furnaces, water heaters, and stoves/cook tops have an average lifespan of 21.5, 13, and 12 years, respectively
12 . Accordingly, it is expected that nearly all of these 259 units will have been constructed or last renovated over 22 years prior to 2030 and will likely need to have full replacement of natural gas fueled appliances. Given that it will take some time to establish the partnerships and funding mechanisms for providing electric appliances and technical assistance with electric conversions, it is unlikely that all of these units will be converted to all-electric by 2030 and 88 units are conservatively assumed to be retrofit under Action C-1.1.c. Additionally, the implementation of an electrification pilot project that targets an entire building of affordable housing units would be expected to convert an additional 12 units to all-electric by 2030 under Action C-1.1.f. 13 GHG emissions reduction are calculated by assuming that each housing unit converted will no longer combust natural gas for end-uses, and the energy needed to fuel these end uses will be converted to all-electric. This increased electricity consumption is accounted for by converting the estimated natural gas consumption for each unit to the electrical equivalent, but accounting for increased efficiency that is gained from the use of electric heat pumps for water heating and HVAC. 14,15
Since the household
natural gas use is primarily consumed by water heating and HVAC, and it is not likely that affordable and low-income housing units will have high natural gas consumption from end uses such as pool heating, it is appropriate to use this efficiency increase for the total estimated natural gas consumption for these units. The increase in electricity consumption from the conversion to all electric equipment will generate GHG emissions, partially offsetting the emissions reduction for reduced reliance on natural gas.

Based on the 2019 Community GHG Inventory, it is estimated that each housing unit in Burbank consumes 348 therms of natural gas annually.
16 This natural gas generates GHG emissions at a rate of

0.005313 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MT CO2e) per therm. 17 The substitution of this
energy consumption with electric is expected to generate GHG emissions at a rate of 0.000279 MT CO2e per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in 2030 and 0 MT CO2e per kWh in 2045, accounting for increase renewable and GHG-free electricity procurement associated with SB 100 and implementation of Measure EG-1.1, which aims for carbon neutral electricty by 2040. 18 The calculation of the GHG

Measure BE-1.1 Electrify 100% of new construction in the City by 2023.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
The intent of Measure BE-1.1 is to influence structural change by reducing reliance on fossil fuels in new construction by requiring all new construction in the City to be all-electric. Action BE-1.1.a, the adoption of an Electrification Reach Code, is the primary action for imparting this change, which carries ATTACHMENT 1-205
EXHIBIT 1
substantial GHG emissions reduction that are economical for the City, builders and residents. 19 This
action also strives to promote equity by ensuring new low-income housing protects residents from energy bill burdens, which are likely to occur with projected future increases in the cost of natural gas service.
20 Action BE-1.1.e serves to promote connectivity by connecting local building industry stakeholders with non-profit groups, such as Building Decarbonization Coalition, during the reach code development process. Lastly, education is key to the implementation of Measure BE-1.1, which is addressed by providing technical resources to installers and building owners/operators under Action BE-1.1.c, providing education and demonstrations of cooking with electric appliances under Action BE-

1.1.b, and promoting the cost and environmental benefits of electrification through the City’s webpage and permit counter under Action BE-1.1.d.

Background
To reach carbon neutrality by 2045, the majority of the buildings in the City, including those that have not yet been constructed, will need to be carbon neutral. Natural gas combustion for heating and cooking in commercial and residential buildings currently contributes nearly 13 percent of the City’s total GHG emissions.
21 By transitioning buildings from the consumption of natural gas to electricity, emissions from this source can be reduced through SB 100 requirements for increased renewable electricity and the associated GHG emissions. A variety of studies have found that electrification of buildings, combined with renewable power generation is a potential path towards reaching carbon neutrality.
22 Additionally, the benefits in annual utility bill savings and decreased cost associated with piping of natural gas into new construction makes all-electric buildings more cost effective in some California Building Climate Zones; including, Zone 9, where Burbank is located. 23,24 As of February 2021,
over 40 California cities have adopted building codes that reduce reliance on natural gas. 25 Methodology and Assumptions
Action BE-1.1.a, the adoption of an Electrification Reach Code, eliminating the piping of natural gas in new buildings and accessory dwelling units, would result in all of the emissions reduction associated with Measure BE-1.1 by transitioning the energy consumption of any new construction to electricity. All other Actions under Measure BE-1.1 would incrementally support the overall goal of the Measure.

Adoption of the Electrification Reach Code by 2023 would align with the California Building Code three- year cycle, stopping growth of natural gas consumption from new construction after 2023. The amount of future new development that will occur in the City is evaluated based on increases in employment 19 All-electric new construction in the City of Burbank’s climate zone requires less initial construction costs since there is no need to install natural gas infrastructure connections to new buildings. All-electric new buildings also have on-bill savings due to the high-efficiency of electric appliances and equipment as compared to natural gas fueled equipment.

26 This growth is assumed to be constant year-over-year in the GHG emissions forecast, with each additional resident’s or employee’s contribution towards natural gas consumption being equivalent to the per capita or per employment natural gas consumption in the 2019 Community GHG Inventory year, while also accounting for efficiency increases from future Title 24 requirements. The resulting calculated increase in natural gas consumption is conservative as it is assumed to be purely from new construction, and any increases beyond the time the ordinance is adopted would be shifted to electricity consumption.

Electrification of new residential and commercial construction will eliminate the use of natural gas for space heating, water heating, clothes drying, and cooking. Space heating is the largest energy use in buildings and is dominated by non-electric fuels.
27 According to the EIA 2020 Annual Energy Outlook,
electric heat pumps for commercial space heating and cooling are two to five times more efficient than natural gas fueled equipment.
28 Residential electric heat pumps for space heating and cooling are six to 20 times more efficient than natural gas equipment.
29 Emissions reduction account for this increased
efficiency by conservatively assuming all electric constructions will use electric equipment that is three times more efficient than natural gas fueled equipment.

As mentioned above, emissions reduction calculations assume the ordinance will be adopted by 2023; therefore, increased natural gas consumption from population and employment growth beyond 2023 would be replaced by electricity consumption. Since electric appliances are approximately three times more efficient over similar natural gas burning equipment and appliances, 30 the use of electric
equipment instead of natural gas would result in improved energy efficiency and a reduction in overall energy consumption for replaced natural gas equipment. The electricity consumption would generate GHG emissions that would offset the reduction in natural gas emissions from electrification. The calculations and assumptions used to estimate emissions reduction from Measure BE-1.1 are provided in Table 7.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
The intent of Measure BE-1.2 is to influence structural change by reducing reliance on fossil fuels in in existing buildings in the City by providing resources to the community for converting buildings to all- electric. Key components of this Measure are connectivity and education through Action BE-1.2.b, which aims to leverage the current resources and influence of BWP to develop a targeted educational campaign that highlights the benefits of electrification and generates awareness of the resources that will be available for performing electrification retrofits, and connecting with non-profit organizations to use the electrification program in Burbank to develop an electrification best practices model.

considerations are integrated into this Measure under Action BE-1.2.c, by performing an update on the available BWP rebates and incentives to increase procedural equitable access so they are being fairly distributed to the community. Measure BE-1.2 also includes a feasibility analysis of existing building electrification in the community to identify an economical path towards eventually retrofitting all buildings in the City. Lastly, each building in the City that is retrofit to be all-electric under this measure will reduce GHG emissions by shifting natural gas consumption to increasingly carbon-free electricity sources.

Background
To further the efforts of Measure E-1.1 in electrifying buildings in Burbank, the City intends to support the electrification of existing buildings through the adoption of electric appliances and electrification building retrofits. The Actions the City will take to facilitate fuel switching include:
▪ Developing an All-Electric Building Initiative, or tariffed on-bill financing program, which expands rebates and incentives to electric heat-pump water heating, HVAC units, and electrical panel upgrades and expands the business retrofit packages to include electric heat-pump water heaters and HVAC units. (Action BE-1.2.a)
▪ Partnering with BWP to develop an education campaign to promote the All-Electric Building Initiative that builds upon the success of other BWP programs. (Action BE-1.2.b) In addition to these efforts, the City will work to identify further electrification strategies that can be implemented to reach the long-term target of electrifying 100 percent of the buildings in the City.

Methodology and Assumptions
The target for electrification of HVAC and water heaters in existing buildings by 2030 is based on the replacement of natural gas fueled equipment with electric equipment, through strategic employment of education and public outreach efforts and electrification focused incentive programs by the City and BWP. There are about 37,000 parcels in the City of Burbank, and it is estimated that effective implementation of these programs would reach about 10 percent of the building stock that is not already using electricity as the primary fuel for HVAC and water heating by 2030.

The number of individual units that would need to be converted through Measure BE-1.2 to meet the approximate 10 percent target was estimated based on the average natural gas consumption for HVAC and water heating end uses in residential and commercial buildings. Based on the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) 2015 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), the average household annual consumption of natural gas is 167 hundred cubic feet (CCF) and 161 CCF for HVAC and water heating end uses, respectively.
31 These values can be averaged and converted to a unit of therms,
32 resulting in an approximate annual reduction in natural gas consumption of 170 therms per residential HVAC or water heating unit replaced with electric. Similarly, the average natural gas consumption of HVAC and water heating end uses in commercial buildings was estimated from the EIA 2012 Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS). The CBECS does not provide estimates of natural gas consumption per unit; however, the average energy consumption by end use 31 Natural gas consumption per household from space heating and water heating in a Mixed-dry/Hot-dry climate region.

per square foot
33 and a weighted average size of commercial buildings in the Western Pacific census region
34 were used to estimate that HVAC and water heating consume approximately 12,165 therms and 13,320 therms annually, respectively. These values can be averaged to represent the approximate reduction in natural gas consumption that would result from replacing natural gas fueled HVAC and water heating equipment in commercial uses, which is 12,743 therms. To meet the 2030 target of retrofitting 10 percent of buildings, approximately 3,000 residential and 170 commercial HVAC and water heating units would need to be replaced with electric heat pump equipment. A 2045 target for retrofits was developed by extrapolating the 2030 target forward with a similar rate of success, resulting in approximately 10,000 residential and 560 commercial unit replacements by 2045.

The ability to reach customers for promotion of all-electric appliance and equipment incentives and retrofit packages is based on the success of BWP’s current incentives. Between 2012 and 2019, 2,980 ENERGY STAR refrigerators, 1,966 ENERGY STAR clothes washers, and 1,498 ENERGY STAR dishwashers were installed through customer rebates or BWP’s free installation program for qualified customers. 35 This is only one of the many BWP incentive programs, which also include:
▪ Business Rebates, a rebate program open to all Burbank Businesses who make energy efficiency retrofits at their facilities
▪ Business Bucks, a direct install program for small to mid-sized businesses, providing up to $5,000 in energy savings installations
▪ Upstream HVAC Program, which includes rebates provided to distributers of high-efficiency HVAC equipment
▪ Residential Rebates, which provide cash incentives for residents who purchase and install high- efficiency appliances and products in their home
Direct tracking of the number of buildings affected by these incentive programs is not currently available; however, other studies show that direct engagement with customers substantiates the ability for these programs to reach about 10 percent of the building stock by 2030.

A 2016 analysis of the effectiveness of marketing, education, and outreach associated with the Energy Upgrade California program found that approximately 10 percent of people reached through one-on- one interactions had decided to purchase ENERGY STAR certified appliances after the interaction. 36 Similarly, the City expects to commit at least 10 percent of the people reached through their efforts in public education, program promotion, and one-on-one interactions at the permitting counter to purchase electric appliances and equipment instead of natural gas fueled alternatives. 37 33
Energy intensity for natural gas for mixed-dry/hot-dry climate for water heating energy sources (88.8 thousand Btu per square foot) and space heating energy sources (81.8 thousand Btu per square foot) averaged to equal 84.95 thousand Btu per square foot and converted to therms to equal 0.8495 therms per square foot.

The need for equipment replacements at their natural end-of-life would far exceed this 10 percent target; however, it is likely that only a portion of replacements of natural gas equipment would be electric heat pumps. The 2018 EIA report, Updated Buildings Sector Appliance and Equipment Cost and Efficiencies, provides the average lifespans of various equipment types. Residential gas fired furnaces, water heaters, and stoves/cook tops have an average lifespan of 21.5, 13, and 12 years, respectively; while commercial natural gas fired furnaces, boilers, and water heaters have an average lifespan of 23, 25, and 10 years, respectively.
38 Taking the average lifespan of these equipment types, it is estimated that in the 10 years between 2020 and 2030, approximately 65 percent of all of these types of equipment in the City will have been replaced. Furthermore, under this same assumption, in the fifteen years between 2030 and 2045 all of these types of equipment would reach their end of life and need to be replaced.

Measure BE-1.2 GHG emissions reduction calculations assume that the target equipment replacements would occur with effective implementation of each measure, resulting in long term GHG emissions reduction from switching fuel sources for HVAC and water heating equipment from natural gas to electric. Since electric appliances are approximately three times more efficient over similar natural gas burning equipment and appliances,
39 the use of electric equipment instead of natural gas would result in improved energy efficiency and a reduction in overall energy consumption for replaced natural gas equipment. This electricity consumption would generate GHG emissions that would offset the reduction in natural gas emissions from electrification. The GHG emissions reduction accounted for in Measure C-1.1 would count towards the existing building electrification targets in Measure BE-1.2 and are therefore subtracted from the total emissions reduction calculations, to avoid double counting. The calculations and assumptions used to estimate emissions reduction from Measure BE-1.2 are provided in Table 9.

Measure BE-1.3 Continue to increase building energy efficiency through BWP's rebate and incentive programs to reduce annual customer energy use by a collective 63 GWh by 2030.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
Measure BE-1.3 aims to build upon the success of BWPs current incentive programs for energy efficiency and continue to increase energy efficiency in homes and businesses. The primary driver of ATTACHMENT 1-214
EXHIBIT 1
this measures is GHG reductions from reduced electricity consumption, which is achieved through connectivity to available incentives and rebate programs, which provide an economical means for the community to reduce their energy consumption. The measure works towards enacting structural change by implementing a retrofit tracking system for more detailed reporting of participation in BWP programs to inform future updates to BWP programs and the GGRP under Action BE-1.3.a. Measure BE-1.3 incorporates education and equity under Action BE-1.3.d by continuing collaboration between BWP and Burbank Unified School District to continue providing students with “Resource Action Kits,” to engage all students in the importance of water and energy conservation in their own homes.

Background
The City of Burbank has achieved great success in reducing energy consumption on a per-service population basis through BWP’s incentive programs and adoption of increasingly stringent Building Energy Efficiency Standards, also known as Title 24. While overall electricity consumption has generally increased over time with growth, the amount of energy consumed per person who lives and works in the City has decreased. In the years between the 2010 and 2019 Community GHG Inventories, electricity consumption on a per-service population basis (total City population plus jobs) has decreased by approximately 28 percent.
40 Measure BE-1.3 aims to continue and expand the currently available BWP rebates and incentives for energy efficiency to continue attaining increase in efficiency that result in GHG reductions in the community.

Methodology and Assumptions
The emissions reductions for Measure BE-1.3 result from the reduction in energy consumption achieved by BWP’s efficiency and incentive programs and the collective impact of each Action under the Measure. The target of 63 gigawatt-hours (GWh) was developed through BWP’s analysis of future returns from energy efficiency programs, in the California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA) Energy Efficiency (EE) Potential Forecasting Study conducted in 2020 by GDS Associates, Inc. 41 This
target was developed from a year-by-year analysis of the energy demand impact of BWP’s current and future potential energy efficiency programs, which would result in an effective savings of 63 GWh/year by 2030. GHG emissions reductions were calculated by multiplying the total energy savings by projected electricty emission factors. GHG emission reductions for 2045 were not quantified for this measure as there is risk of double counting GHG emissions reductions assumed with accounting for increased RPS requirements in the GHG emissions forecast. The calculations and assumptions used to estimate emissions reduction from Measure BE-1.3 are provided in Table 11.

2.3 Energy Generation
Measure EG-1.1 Goal to achieve 100% GHG-neutral electricity generation by 2040.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
Measure EG-1.1 aims to reduce the carbon intensity of electricity provided by BWP post 2030, by achieving GHG-neutral electricity generation by 2040, with the community benefiting from the indirect ATTACHMENT 1-216
EXHIBIT 1
GHG reductions associated with electricty generation.
42 The Measure connects to the cornerstone
pillars by inducing structural change through investigating opportunities to increase local renewable energy generation and leveraging battery storage to provide GHG-neutral electricity at times when renewable energy generation is low (Actions EG-1.1.b, EG-1.1.c, and EG-1.1.f). Action EG-1.1.h provides an economical aspect to the Measure, be identifying grant funding to expand the existing renewable energy generation from landfill gas at the Burbank Site No.3 Landfill. This Measure also strives for connectivity with the community and education on the impacts of consumption habits, by implementing a program where customers can purchase renewable energy credits to offset the GHG emissions associated with their personal energy consumption (Action EG-1.1.a). Lastly, equity is included in the overarching goal of the Measure by providing access to all community members to use GHG-neutral energy in their homes and businesses by 2040.

Background
Measure EG-1.1 is carried over from the 2013 GGRP, as having access to 100% GHG-neutral electricity will be essential to meeting the long-term goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2045. Meeting the Renewable Portfolio Standard requirements of SB 100 require strategic planning to increase renewable energy procurement without significantly increasing customer electricity rates. As such, BWP is challenged with the task of balancing the reduction of GHG emissions associated with the electricity supply, while not disproportionately impacting low-income households with higher energy costs. An equitable pathway towards exceeding the required 60 percent RPS in 2030 is not identified in this Measure; therefore, the Measure does not carry GHG emissions reductions for the 2030 target year addressed in this analysis. However, implementation of Measure EG-1.1 will carry GHG reductions beyond 2030 and leading up to 2045. Additionally, the Actions included under the Measure serve to increase the local renewable energy supply and explore option for battery storage. These Actions will increase community resilience to power outages during extreme weather events, improving the City’s ability to adapt to future impacts of climate change.

Methodology and Assumptions
GHG reductions for Measure EG-1.1 are not quantified for the years 2030 and 2045 in this analysis as there is risk of double counting GHG emissions reductions assumed with accounting for increased RPS requirements in the GHG emissions forecast.

Results
While there are no calculated GHG reductions associated with Measure EG-1.1 in the 2030 and 2045 target years, the Actions provide increased resilience to the impacts of climate change and are expected to reduce GHG emission significantly before 2045, setting the City on a pathway towards carbon neutrality. These Actions are provided in Table 13. 42 While Measure EG-1.1 is expected to provide GHG emissions reduction, these reductions are not quantified in this analysis due to risk of double counting GHG emissions reduction associated with the State’s RPS requirements included in the GHG emissions forecast.

2.4 Reduce Passenger Car Vehicle Miles Traveled
Measure T-1.1 Implement the Complete Our Streets Plan, increasing active transportation mode share 2% by 2030 and 3% by 2045.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
Measure T-1.1 works to complete the integration of City defined complete street design features and active transportation infrastructure into new development projects and key areas of the City. This Measure embodies Structural Change by implementing the 2020 City of Burbank Complete Our Streets Plan (Action T-1.1.a), by improving the accessibility of City districts with active transportation (Actions T-1.1.a and T-1.1c), and ensuring development projects are consistent with the design guidelines (Action T-1.1.b). The Measures is intended to be economical by working to identify grant funding opportunities to identify active transportation projects in the Plan (Action T-1.1.c). This includes identifying funding to implement the Citywide Safe Routes to School Plan, which invokes equity by promoting active transportation as a means for all children in the City to travel to school, including children who live in low-income and disadvantaged neighborhoods (Action T-1.1.d). Additionally, Measure T-1.1 seeks to improve connectivity with resources by integrating bicycling safety education as part of the implementation of the Citywide Safe Routes to School Program (Action T-1.1.e). Lastly, ATTACHMENT 1-218
EXHIBIT 1
the full implementation of Measure T-1.1 is expected to effectively increase active transportation for short trips in the City, reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and effectively reducing the associated GHG emissions.

Background
In 2020, the City adopted a Complete Our Streets Plan, which integrates active transportation infrastructure and amenities into the public right-of-way in key areas to make City streets safer and more accessible to all community members. The purpose of the 2020 Complete Our Street Plan is to:
▪ Analyze and catalog existing street conditions
▪ Establish new policies, guidelines, and performance measures for street improvements Citywide ▪ Identify priority projects in within the Plan’s “Focus Areas” ▪ Build better neighborhoods
▪ Create an ongoing mechanism for evaluating street improvements The Complete Our Streets Plan directly aligns with the intent of the GGRP Update, providing equitable solutions that reduce GHG emissions and improve the quality of life in the City. Implementation of the Complete Our Streets Plan would reduce the need for residents and visiors in the City to use single occupancy vehciles to make short trips for work, enteterainment, and recreation, effectively removing vehicles from the road and reducing GHG emissions.

Measure T-1.1 aims to integrate the Complete Our Streets Plan with the GGRP Update, as well as providing additional means for active transportation in the City. This includes facilitate the use of bicycles by ensuring bicycle parking areas are available (Action T-1.1.f) and working to cause children to use walking and biking as a means of getting to school from implementation of the Citywide Safe Routes to School Plan (Actions T-1.1.d and T-1.1.e). These collective actions are expected to make more people in the City to utilize active transportation as it the City works to make walking and biking safer and more accessible.

Methodology and Assumptions
The analysis of VMT and subsequent GHG reductions from Measure T-1.1 are based on the assumptions and guidance of the SCAG for implementation of active transportation and complete streets projects. The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS analyzes future regional transportation scenarios that include assessment of the implementation of local level projects and plans to improve mobility for short trips.

As part of this assessment, SCAG analyzed active transportation modeshare with and without implementation of strategies to improve short trips mobility options and support active transportation.
43 The results of this analysis are used to estimate the modeshare shift that the City would experience.

The SCAG analysis estimates that the baseline modeshare for active transportation (including bicycling and walking) for the SCAG region was 9.2 percent. Without implementation of the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS, which includes complete street, active transportation and micromobility projects, this is expected to increase to 9.4 percent by 2045. However, with implementation of the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS, this modeshare is expected to increase to 12.5 percent. With Measures T-1.1, the City intends to implement programs and policies that are consistent with the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS; therefore, it is 43 Southern California Association of Governments. 2020.

expected that the City will achieve a similar shift in mode towards active transportation of about 3 percent by 2045. Interpolating this increase in mode shift to 2030 equates to an approximately 2 percent shift to active transportation modes in 2030.

GHG reduction calculations are based on the expected 2 percent and 3 percent mode shift by 2030 and 2045, respectively, and the resulting reduction in passenger vehicle VMT. Based on the VMT analysis performed for the 2019 Community GHG Inventory and GHG Emissions Forecast, it is expected that there will be approximately 127,890,000 and 157,645,000 annual passenger vehicle trips in the City in 2030 and 2045, respectively.
44 With the assumption that active transportation will primarily be used for short trips, with an average trip length of 1.5 miles, it is expected that the resulting reduction of annual passenger vehicle VMT will be 3,836,700 and 7,330,500 for 2030 and 2045 respectively. 45 The GHG
emission reductions are calculated from VMT using the average projected passenger vehicle emission factors of 245 grams of CO2e per mile (g CO2e/mile) for 2030 and 214 g CO2e/mile for 2045, as obtained from CARB’s vehicle emissions factor database, EMFAC2017. 46 The calculations and assumptions used
to estimate emission reductions from Measure T-1.1 are provided in Table 14.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
Measure T-1.2 strives in promote connectivity and equity, by increasing the accessibility of public transit for low-income households through the expansion of low-income transit pass subsidies for use on the BurbankBus fixed-route service (Action T-1.2.a). The educational aspect of this Measure is to better understand the impacts of COVID-19 on transportation habits, which will better inform future programs and investments in public transit (Action T-1.2.c). Measure T-1.2 also strives for GHG reductions by electrifying the BurbankBus fleet by 2040, further reducing the City’s reliance on fossil fuels (Action T-1.2.e).
47 This transition to an all-electric bus fleet would be economical through application for State and federal grants to fund the purchase of new buses, and the generation of revenue through California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standards Program (Actions T-1.2.c and T-1.2.d). Lastly, Measure T-1.2 aims to induce structural change, by implementing policies that allow the City to manage shared-use mobility devices that can help community members have better access to public transit (Action T-1.2.b).
47 While Measure T-1.2 is expected to provide GHG emissions reduction, these reductions are not quantified in this analysis due to risk of double counting GHG emissions reduction associated with the State’s Innovative Clean Transit requirements included in the GHG emissions forecast.

ATTACHMENT 1-221
EXHIBIT 1
Background
The City operates its own small transit fleet, BurbankBus, which provides three fixed-line routes and paratransit options to connect to employment hubs and help fill gaps in LA Metro transit service in the City. The service is operated by the City, which includes a fare subsidy for eligible senior and disabled riders through the Burbank Pass Program. Measure T-1.2 aims to expand access to the BurbankBus service by accepting transit subsidies provided by LA Metro’s LIFE low-income EZ Pass and expand the Burbank Pass Program to fill gaps in LA Metro’s low-income subsidy programs, through Action T-1.2.a.

The Measures also strives to improve first-last mile connectivity by adopting an ordinance that allows and manages shared-use mobility devices in the City, through Acton T-1.2.b.

In addition to improving transit connection in the City, Measure T-1.2 strives to reduce the GHG emissions associated with the BurbankBus fleet, by converting the entire bus fleet to electric-fueled vehicles by 2040. The conversion of the fleet to all-electric can be facilitated through currently available grant programs, such as the California Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP). Additionally, the use of electricity to fuel buses creates the potential for generating credits through California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standards Program, which can be used to generate increased revenue that can be set aside for future improvements to the transit system.

Methodology and Assumptions
The impact of Measure T-1.2 on transit ridership and the potential for reducing VMT in the City is not currently quantifiable in the scope of this analysis. While it is likely that expanding accessibility to BurbankBus will result in increased ridership, with more people choosing to use the bus system instead of driving alone, projections for this shift in the year 2030 are difficult to quantify without a thorough analysis of current ridership, commute patterns for low-income communities, and the current accessibility to transit for these low-income communities. As such, GHG emission reductions related to reduction in VMT are not quantified for 2030 and 2045.

The electrification of the BurbankBus fleet is also expected to result in future GHG reductions; however, there is risk of double counting GHG emissions reduction associated with the Innovative Clean Transit Rule included in the GHG emissions forecast. Therefore, GHG reduction impacts in 2030 and 2045 are not quantifiable.
48 Results
While there are no quantified GHG reductions associated with Measure T-1.2 in the 2030 and 2045 target years due to lack of data to make an accurate assessment of VMT reduction and risk of double counting reduction from fleet electrification, the Actions are likely to provide future VMT and GHG reductions. These Actions are provided in Table 16.
48 The Innovative Clean Transit Rule, adopted by the State in 2018, requires all transit providers to convert their bus fleet to zero-emission vehicles. The forecasting of GHG Emissions conducted as part of this GGRP Update already accounts for implementation of Innovative Clean Transit prior to 2045, so it is assumed that the BurbankBus will have already been concerted to zero-emission vehicles prior to 2045.

2.5 Transportation Demand Management
Measure T-2.1 Continue Transportation Management Organization (TMO) Expansion, reaching 60% of employers by 2030 and 90% by 2045.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
Measures T-2.1 aims to build the reach and effectiveness of the current Burbank Transportation Management Organization (BTMO), providing connectivity to Transportation Demand Management (TDM) resources and reducing commute vehicle trips in the City. As part of Measure T-2.1, the City will work with the BTMO to provide education on the TDM program, with regular updates to the BTMO website and targeted outreach to increase membership and active participation (Actions T-2.1.a and T-

2.1.b). The primary mechanisms for structural change associated with this measure include updates to the requirements of the TMO for specific plan areas to reflect best practices in TDM (Action T-2.1.c).

This will include an evaluation of the various aspects of the TMO, including but not limited to, businesses subject to TMO requirements.

Background
The City currently has a TDM ordinance which requires employers with over 25 employees to become members of the BTMO, which implements TDM programs and provides information on trip reduction.

The intent of Measure T-2.1 is to amend the TDM ordinance and City specific plans to increase membership to approximately 60 percent of employers citywide by 2030 and 90 percent of employers by 2045. Measure T-2.1 does not provide direct GHG reductions, but instead is supportive to the GHG reductions that would be achieved with Measure T-2.2 by increasing the reach of the TMO so that future TDM strategies are further reaching and result in more trip reductions citywide.

ATTACHMENT 1-223
EXHIBIT 1

Methodology and Assumptions
Measure T-2.1 is intended to be supportive to the overall goals of the GGRP Update and to the GHG emissions reduction associated with Measure T-2.2. The expansion of the BTMO does not require that trip reductions occur; however, expansion of the BTMO will increase the impact of the trip reduction requirements included in Measure T-2.2. As such, Measure T-2.1 does not have any direct GHG emissions reduction that can be quantified and is considered supportive to GHG emissions reduction elsewhere.

Results
While there are no calculated GHG emissions reduction associated with Measure T-2.1 in the 2030 and 2045 target years, the Actions are supportive to the GHG emissions reduction under Measure T-2.2.

These Actions are provided in Table 17.

Collectively, these updates should evaluate which businesses are subject to TMO requirements, membership requirements and fees, TDM strategies offered by the TMO, reporting requirements and performance measures, and funding requirements. Utilize lessons learned from COVID-19 on transportation habits, impacts on transit, and potential hurdles and opportunities connected to these changes.

T-2.1.d Expand geographic boundary of TMO to Golden State /Airport areas by 2025 as part of the Golden State Specific Plan, and citywide by 2035.

Measure T-2.2 Update the TMO program and ordinance to increase compliance with the City’s 1.61 Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR) Goal to reduce employees commuting to Burbank via single occupancy vehicle.

Require that 30% of TMO businesses achieve the 1.61 AVR target by 2030, and 60% by 2045.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
Measure T-2.2 aims to achieve GHG reductions by reducing commute vehicle trips in the City from single occupancy vehicles through strengthening of the City’s current TDM ordinance. The structural change achieved through this measure is a restructuring of the TMO fees, which would reward businesses that comply with the City’s trip reduction requirements and increase fees for businesses that do not (Action T-2.2.c). Measure T-2.2 would also change the TDM ordinance so that the City can ATTACHMENT 1-224
EXHIBIT 1
collect fees, generating an economical means for the investment in expanded transit service, employee rideshare subsidies, and active transportation infrastructure (Action T-2.2.d). To improve the ability for businesses to achieve the required trip reduction requirements, the City would look to expand access of broadband internet to provide for equitable opportunity for telecommuting is distributed throughout the City (Actions T-2.2.a and T-2.2.b). Measure T-2.2 would be closely coupled with Measure T-2.1, with an educational and connectivity component coming from the regular outreach and updates to the TMO website.

Approximately 36 percent of employers in the City are currently members of the BTMO, which helps employers to facilitate a trip reduction rate that is equivalent to reducing commute trips by 38 percent, compared to if every employee were to drive a single occupancy vehicle to work. This 38 percent reduction in trips is equivalent to a 1.61 average vehicle Ridership (AVR) metric, which is the set target for trip reduction for businesses subject to the TDM ordinance. The intent of Measure T-2.2 is to amend the TDM ordinance so that the City can develop a fee structure that results in 30 percent of businesses subject to the TDM ordinance reaching the 1.61 AVR target. This would allow the City to increase fees when the AVR target is not being met, as well as reduce fees if AVR targets are being exceeded. The fees collected would be used to fund TMO programs, increase transit service, and fund active transportation projects, which would supplement employers’ abilities to reduce vehicle trips.

Additionally, Measure T-2.2 would work to increase access to broadband internet throughout the City, furthering the opportunities for employers to have employees telecommute and reduce commute vehicle trips.

Methodology and Assumptions
The GHG reductions associated with Measure T-2.1 are associated with the combined efforts of all Actions to improve compliance with the 1.61 AVR target, as well as TMO expansion under Measure T-

2.2. The GHG reductions are calculated from estimates of VMT reductions from 60 percent of employers in the City participating in the BTMO, and 30 percent of these employers meeting the trips reduction target of an equivalent 62 vehicle trips per 100 employees.

With 60 percent of employers participating in the BTMO, it is estimated that 81,765 employees of the projected total 136,275 employees in 2030 will be subject to the trip reduction targets. Similarly, in 2045, 90 percent of employers participating the in the BTMO would result in 127,895 of the projected 142,106 total employees will be subject to the trip reduction targets. Based on the VMT analysis performed as part of the 2019 Community GHG Emissions Inventory and Emissions Forecast, it is estimated that the average vehicle trip length in Burbank in 2030 will be 9.2 miles, and in 2045 will be

7.7 miles.
49 The GHG emission reductions are calculated from VMT using the average projected passenger vehicle emission factors of 245 grams of CO2e per mile (g CO2e/mile) for 2030 and 214 g CO2e/mile for 2045, as obtained from CARB’s vehicle emissions factor database, EMFAC2017. 50 The
calculations and assumptions used to estimate emission reductions from Measure T-2.2 are provided in Table 18.

2.6 Zero-Emission Vehicles
Measure T-3.1 Increase zero-emission vehicle adoption to 23% of all passenger vehicles by 2030 and 100% by 2045.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
Measure T-3.1 aims to significantly reduce GHG emissions through the increased adoption of zero- emission and electric vehicles. The Measure strives to provide equitable access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure by increasing the number of charge ports available at multi-family buildings by demonstrating structural change through local amendments to the building code (Actions T-3.1.a and T-3.1.h). Measure T-3.1 also strives for connectivity by providing resources to community members and businesses to install electric vehicle charge ports through the implementation of the BWP Transportation Electrification Plan (Action T-3.1.e). Installation of new EV infrastructure is economical because rebates and incentives are available. Education is a key component to successful implementation of the Measure, which will be achieved through the promotion of zero emission vehicle adoption through City events, social media, and the City website (Action T-3.1.b).

Background
The State of California has adopted ambitious goals for ZEV adoption, with the most recent EO N-79-20 striving to achieve 100 percent ZEV vehicle sales by 2035. To align with these aggressive State goals, Burbank seeks to increase ZEV adoption to 23 percent by 2030, while striving to set in place the framework to reach a long-term goal of 100 percent ZEV adoption by 2045. Reaching these targets will require significant investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles. Measure T-3.1 aims to increase the availability of EV charging infrastructure in areas identified to be of high priority to improve EV and ZEV adoption.

ATTACHMENT 1-227
EXHIBIT 1
The BWP 2020 Transportation Electrification Plan provides a strategy for increasing the availability of EV charge port throughout the City.
51 The plan aims to achieve the infrastructure needed to facilitate 5,000 more EV’s to be registered in the City between 2020 and 2025, aligning with the State’s previous goal of bringing 1.5 million ZEVs to the road by 2025 and 5 million by 2030. 52 This goal has since been
pushed even further by the State through EO N-79-20, with a goal of reaching 8 million light-duty ZEVs on the roads by 2030, requiring approximately 1.5 million chargers. This would be an adoption of nearly 21,600 ZEVs and EVs, or 23 percent of total vehicles registered in the City, and approximately 4,000 EV chargers.
53 54
With an EV adoption rate in the City of about 2 percent as of 2020, this increase in EV adoption will require a significant ramp-up in the adoption and deployment of local charging infrastructure.
55 Measure T-3.1 strives to place this increase in EV and ZEV adoption into action, by requiring the implementation of the current BWP 2020 Transportation Electrification Plan through Action T-3.1.e, and suggests an update to the plan in the next eight years to account for the increased adoption called for through EO N-79-20, through Action T-3.1.i. Measure T-3.1 will also work to improve the availability of EV charging at multi-family and commercial buildings, with the adoption of local amendments to the building code that require installation of EV charging infrastructure at new developments and during large retrofits and remodels of existing buildings, through Actions T-3.1.a and T-3.1.h. These actions will collectively work towards installing EV charge ports at locations that are most needed for EV adoption; specifically, at multifamily residences, places of work, and at City street parking. 56 Measure T-3.1 also includes the replacement of light-duty vehicles in the City fleet with electric and alternative fueled options, by enacting a purchasing policy for fleet vehicles for all City departments, through Action T-3.1.g.

Methodology and Assumptions
GHG emission reductions for the increased adoption of EV’s are based on replacing fossil fueled vehicles with electric versions in both the community and municipal operations. Increased electricity consumption from EV adoption is accounted for, offsetting some of the emissions reduction from replacing fossil fueled vehicles.

GHG emission reductions from the adoption of ZEVs assumes that the collective impact of Actions T-

3.1.a through T-3.1.i will influence a 23 percent adoption of ZEVs and EVs by 2030. Since vehicles that are included in the City vehicle fleet are also registered to an address in the City, there is risk for double counting emission reductions from Action T-3.1.g and are therefore not separately quantified. The emission reductions are calculated by reducing 23 percent of VMT powered by fossil fuels, and emissions associated with these miles traveled would instead be accounted for in additional electricity use. The GHG emissions forecast performed as part of the 2019 Community GHG Inventory and GHG Emissions Forecast assume that approximately 3 percent of total Burbank passenger vehicle VMT in 51 The City of Burbank Water and Power. 2019. Transportation Electrification 2020-2025 Strategic Plan and Roadmap. 52 Executive Order B-48-18 provides a target of 5 million ZEVs to be in California’s vehicle fleet in 2030, with an interim target of 1.5 million ZEVs on the road by 2025.
53 It is assumed, based on the state population and projected 2030 population of the City, that the City would make up about 0.27% of the state’s vehicle share.
54 As of 2020 the City approximately 91,100 vehicles registered to addressed in the City, which is expected to reach approximately 94,300 when scaled with population growth.

57 Increasing ZEV adoption to 23 percent by 2030 and
100 percent by 2045 would reduce GHG emissions from fossil fuel combustion by 20 percent in 2030 and by 96 percent in 2045. The GHG emission reductions of Measure T-3.1 are applied after the VMT reductions attained by Measure T-1.1 and T-2.1 and through increased public and shared transit and active transportation, and reduction from TDM measures. This GHG reduction would be offset by electricity consumption which would generate GHG emissions in 2030.

2.7 Parking
Measure T-4.1 Implement Parking Management as identified in the Burbank2035 General Plan Mobility Element and the City Council’s Six Parking Management Principles
Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
The primary focus of Measure T-4.1 is to create structural change through the implementation of paid parking throughout the City, starting with Specific Plan areas and parking near transit stations.

Additionally, the Measure strives to reduce VMT and reduce associated GHG emissions by incentivizing alternative modes of transportation and reducing cruising for parking in congested areas. Measure T- ATTACHMENT 1-230

4.1 is also economical for the City because it provides additional revenue from parking pricing to be reinvest in parking enforcement, maintain City parking assets, and improving local neighborhoods subject to parking pricing. The additional cornerstone pillars are not addressed by this as the primary goal is to implement existing policies adopted by the City.

Background
In 2019 the City of Burbank adopted Six Parking Management Principles, which include:
▪ Protect Single Family Parking
▪ Increase Parking Availability
▪ Leverage Underused Private Parking
▪ Regulate Street Parking and Public Parking Lots with Pricing ▪ Reinvest Parking Revenue
▪ Tailor Implementation to Neighborhoods
These principles aim to streamline the ability for visitors and residents to find parking in certain areas of the City and to incentives the use of alternative modes of transit and carpooling. The pricing of parking serves as the primary way to reduce the use of vehicles to reach their destination, reducing vehicle trips and reducing the need for cruising to find parking in congested areas. Measure T-4.1 strives to implement parking management throughout the City in a stepwise fashion between 2025 and 2040, starting with areas near transit stations and specific plan areas.

Methodology and Assumptions
The GHG emissions reduction associated with Measure T-4.1 are dependent on VMT reductions that result from “park once” behavior and mode shifts towards active transportation and public transit resulting from implementation of parking pricing in specific plan areas of the City. The California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) published VMT reduction potentials for the implementation of parking pricing at the specific plan and general plan level. 58 Since the
implementation of parking pricing as part of Measure T-4.1 would occur in a phased manner by specific plan areas, it is appropriate to use the GHG reduction potential from the CAPCOA guidance for the GHG reductions calculated here. Additionally, in 2019 Fehr and Peers published an assessment of new research addressing the GHG reductions included in the CAPCOA guidance which confirms the adequacy of using these GHG reductions for the purpose of Measure T-4.1. 59 The range of GHG
reductions that can be achieve through parking pricing is 2.8 to 14 percent, depending on the price of parking and the vehicle travel characteristics of the area of implementation. Since Burbank does not currently have parking pricing in the areas of the City addressed as part of the actions of Measure T-

4.1, it is conservatively assumed that the VMT and GHG reductions would be 2.8 percent in the specific plan areas where parking pricing is implemented.

The VMT and GHG reductions for Measure T-4.1 for the year 2045 were calculated for specific plan areas of the City where VMT data was available from the VMT analysis provided by Iteris, Inc. for the 2019 GHG Emissions Inventory and GHG Emissions Forecast. 60 The analysis provided VMT estimates for

specific traffic analysis zones (TAZs) in the City. The TAZs and specific plan areas affected by Measure T-

4.1 were reviewed to identify TAZs that were nearly completely contained within specific plan areas. It was identified that the Burbank Center Plan area and the Media District Specific Plan area aligned with individual TAZs for which VMT data was available. These TAZs primarily consist of, and are surrounded by, the specific plan areas that will be affected by Measure T-4.1; therefore, it would not be expected that the reductions in VMT in these TAZs would be shifted to surrounding areas since the surrounding areas would also have implemented parking pricing. The VMT and GHG reductions for the year 2045 are based on implementation of parking pricing throughout the entire City, and as such the GHG reductions are based on total passenger vehicle VMT in the City.

It is expected that the VMT and GHG emission reductions would only affect passenger VMT. The total proportion of passenger VMT to total VMT in the City was used to estimate the passenger VMT that would be reduced in each of the affected specific plan areas on 2030. The VMT reductions for the areas affected by Measure T-4.1 were calculated as 2.8 percent of the passenger VMT in the affected areas.

The GHG emissions reduction were calculated from VMT using the average projected passenger vehicle emission factors of 245 grams of CO2e per mile (g CO2e/mile) for 2030 and 214 g CO2e/mile for 2045, as obtained from CARB’s vehicle emissions factor database, EMFAC2017. 61 GHG emissions reduction are

Action W-1.1.d promotes equity, education, and connectivity by implementing a public education campaign that highlights water conservation practices and promotes and provides demonstrations of graywater and rainwater systems, with focus on low-income households with high utility bill burdens. Burbank has had great success with decreasing water consumption by providing recycled water for irrigation and land uses with high water consumption. To expand this structural change, an update to BWP’s 2010 Recycled Water Master Plan will be performed to identify successes since 2010 and feasible opportunities for expanding recycled water infrastructure, as part of Action W-1.1.f. Lastly, Measure W-1.1 is economical by continuing to implement water conservation programs identified in the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan as part of Action W.1.1.a, ATTACHMENT 1-235

Background
The City and its water provider, BWP, have been successful in reducing potable water consumption through implementation of programs and policies in the Urban Water Management Plan, enforcing the Model water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, increasing the available supply in infrastructure for use of recycled water, and providing water efficient devices and appliance incentives. As a result, the City reduced water consumption by 8.2 percent on a per-capita basis between 2010 and 2019. 62 The
primary focus of Measure W-1.1 is to continue these same programs and efforts, while also focusing efforts on several new actions, including the use of new Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to allow customers to track and monitor their water usage AMI is expected to save, at a minimum, 2.2% more water than those households that do not use them. If customer engagement is effectively increased, consumption could even be reduced by as much as 5 GPCD by 2030 and 7 GPCD by 2045. 63 Furthermore, in accordance with the forthcoming Burbank 6th Cycle Housing Element Update, new residential construction will likely be 80% multi-family, which will have the effect of reducing irrigation requirements for landscaping. This can reduce per capita usage by 4 GPCD by 2030 and 5.5 GPCD by 2045.
64 The 6.1 percent and 8.7 percent reduction targets below a 2019 baseline, for 2030 and 2045, respectively, were developed based upon these expected reductions in consumption with implementation of the aforementioned actions.

Additional efforts the City will be undertaking can further enhance the potential for reduced reliance on imported water from Metropolitan Water District. Reducing this reliance would improve the City’s adaptive capacity to climate change by enhancing the capacity of local sources water and reduce the GHG emissions associated with the high energy-intensity of imported water. These actions include exchanging recycled water for groundwater credits, increasing the recycled water supply through partnership with Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and working with developers to expand recycled water infrastructure. While the GHG emission reductions from these efficiencies are not quantified due to the complexity of interactions with various agencies, they provide more evidence that Burbank will be able to achieve the established water reduction targets as part of Measures W-1.1.

Methodology and Assumptions
The GHG emission reductions associated with Measure W-1.1 are a result of the decreased energy consumption required to convey, pump, treat, and distribute potable water to end users. It is expected that the collective efforts of all Actions under Measure W-1.1 will result in a per-capita reduction of water consumption of 6.8 percent by 2030 and 9.4 percent by 2045, below the 2019 baseline.

In 2019, approximately 132 gallons per-capita per day (gpcd) of water was consumed in the City, or 15,599 total acre-feet (AF). A 6.1 percent reduction would equate to a water consumption rate of 124 gpcd in 2030, and a 8.6 percent reduction would equate to 120.5 gpcd in 2045. With the projected population of the City being 109,686 in 2030 and 115,400 in 2045, the projected total consumption of water in the City is 13,601,100 gallons per day (gpd) and 13,905,739 gpd in 2030 and 2045, respectively. This equates to 15,235 AF per year and 15,576 AF per year in 2030 and 2045, respectively. 62 2010 and 2019 Community GHG Inventories.

In the GHG Emission Forecast for the GGRP Update, it was estimated that water consumption in the City would increase to 16,201 AF per year and 16,961 AF per year in 2030 and 2045 respectively, based on service population growth.
65 As such, achieving the reduction targets would result in a reduction of 965 AF and 1,385 AF in 2030 and 2045, respectively. Using the weighted average energy intensity for the water supply of 1,507 kWh/AF, this would result in a 1,455,180 kWh and 2,086,953 kWh reduction in energy use in 2030 and 2045, respectively. This would reduce GHG emissions in 2030 at a rate equivalent to the estimated 2030 electricity GHG emission factor of 0.000279 MT CO2e/kWh. GHG emission reductions for 2045 were not quantified for this measure as there is risk of double counting GHG emissions reductions assumed with accounting for increased RPS requirements in the GHG emissions forecast.

2.9 Organic Waste Diversion
Measure SW-1.1 Meet SB 1383 organics and recycling requirements, reducing organic waste disposal 75% by 2025.

Connection to Cornerstone Pillars
The primary impetus of Measure SW-1.1 is to achieve structural change by increasing the diversion of organic waste to meet SB 1383 requirements. Diverting organic waste from landfills has associated GHG reductions, by reducing the amount of organic waste that has potential for generating long-term methane emissions from decomposition. Education is a key component to the success of Measures SW-1.1, which stives to establish an education and outreach program for school children and adults around food waste prevention, nutrition education, and the importance of edible food recovery (Action SW-1.1.g). Measure SW-1.1 also includes connectivity by engaging with waste haulers that operate in the City to facilitate an understanding of the requirements of SB 1383 (Actions SW-1.1.a and SW-1.1.j).

Furthermore, the Measure includes an edible food recovery aspect which strives for equity, by ensuring there is adequate capacity and infrastructure to recover 20 percent of edible food disposed and distribute back to the community (Actions SW-1.1.f and SW-1.1.h).

Background
Organic materials are the focus of the recent landmark legislation SB 1383 (Short-Lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Waste Reductions). Now in the final rulemaking stage, this new State law has the immediate goal of reducing organic waste sent to landfill and the ultimate objective of reaching ATTACHMENT 1-238
EXHIBIT 1
statewide methane emissions reduction goals. Specifically, it sets a statewide goal for the reduction in organic waste to landfills – 50 percent by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025 – in addition to the recovery of 20 percent of edible food waste for human consumption. SB 1383 will require local governments to provide organics collection to all generators and require all generators to subscribe. It also has specific mandates for container systems, education, and outreach programs, monitoring and contamination reporting, and enforcement of regulations. Full SB 1383 implementation will begin in 2022. 66 Methodology and Assumptions
The requirements associated with SB 1383 have been developed to produce a 75 percent reduction in organics by the State of California, below a 2014 baseline. 67 The State recognizes that individual
jurisdictions cannot achieve the goals of SB 1383 alone and therefore SB 1383 stipulates how waste generators and local governments must operate to achieve SB 1383 goals. Therefore, by taking the actions required, the City can expect to achieve an equivalent reduction level. The emission reductions associated with a 75 percent reduction in organics was calculated using the 2014 Disposal-Facility- Based Characterization of Solid Waste in California pursuant to the SB 1383 guidelines. 68 In 2014, the City disposed 77,359 tons of waste in landfills, which was assumed to be composed of 18.1 percent food waste, 17.4 percent mixed paper, and 9.2 percent yard waste. 69 70
This equates to 45
percent of the total disposed waste stream being composed of organics, or 34,595 tons of organic waste. The GHG emission reductions are calculated from the emissions that would be avoided by diverting organic waste in 2030 and 2045 to meet 75 percent of this 2014 organic waste total, which equates to reducing landfilled organic waste to about 8,650 tons. Assuming the waste stream continues to contain about 45 percent organic waste in the future without implementation of SB 1383 requirements, and the total waste landfilled by the City is scaled by service population, the estimated 94,256 tons of waste landfilled in 2030 and 98,680 tons of waste landfilled in 2045 would contain approximately 42,135 and 44,110 tons of organic waste in 2030 and 2045, respectively. Meeting the SB 1383 targets of a 75 percent reduction of organic waste below 2014 levels would result in a diversion of 33,484 tons of organic waste in 2030 and 35,461 tons of organic waste in 2045.

The diversion of these volumes of organic waste would reduce GHG emissions by diverting this waste from landfills where methane would be emitted. Emission factors for each of these waste types when landfilled were obtained from the CARB 2017 Method for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions from Diversion of Organic Waste from Landfills to Compost Facilities. 71 A weighted average
of the GHG emission factors for food waste, mixed paper, and yard waste was developed based on the percentages of the waste stream for each organic waste type, resulting in an average organic waste 66 California Air Resources Board. 2017.

This provides connectivity and is economical because it includes working to expand BWP’s Shade Tree Program to include ATTACHMENT 1-241

targeted outreach to multi-family and low-income housing (Action CS-1.1.b). Furthering the equitability of the Measure, efforts will be made to place vegetative barriers between roadways and developments to reduce exposure to air pollutants from traffic (Action CS-1.1.e), and conducting an urban canopy study and identify low income and/or disadvantaged communities with lower than average tree canopy coverage in order to prioritize planting (Action CS-1.1.f). Structural change will be achieved with this Measure by adopting a Greenscaping Ordinance that has a street tree requirement for all zoning districts, has a shade tree requirement for new development, requires greening of parking lots, and increases permeable surfaces in new development (Action CS-1.1.c).

Background
The City of Burbank is generally considered a built-out City where a majority of new development or growth will involve the redevelopment of underutilized parcels or renovation of existing structures.

Although built-out, the City has the opportunity to engage in carbon sequestration activities through enhancing open space, urban greening, and protecting and increasing the City’s urban forest or tree stock. At this time only the carbon benefits of urban forestry can be assessed as additional research is needed to assess the benefits of vegetation and soil management. Nonetheless, over time as emissions are removed from more and more sectors, carbon sequestration will play an increasingly important role in California’s ability to achieve carbon neutrality.

The City of Burbank currently has approximately 33,000 trees within its borders. Due to the size constraints of planting areas which limit the growth of older trees in the City, the City replaces about up to 500 trees per year.
72 This effort works to preserve the urban forest canopy and continue to provide carbon sequestration value as the replaced trees mature. Another challenge of maintaining the urban tree canopy is tree removal from private property. Measure CS-1.1 strives to enhance the City’s ability to plant more trees in the public right of way and preserve or replace trees that are intended to be removed from private property. In order to reach the target of planting 2,000 net new trees by 2030, the City will need to maintain the current tree stock and plant about 250 net new trees each year. A number of new developments are expected to be completed in this timeframe, which would be subject to the Greenscaping Ordinance of Action CS-1.1.c. Additional potential for planting new trees to meet the targets would be identified through an Urban Forest Plan developed as part of Action CS-

1.1.d.

Methodology and Assumptions
GHG emission reductions were estimated based on the number of trees to be added to the inventory and the average CO2e accumulation factor per tree (0.0354 MT CO2e/tree/year). 73 The calculations and
assumptions used to estimate emission reductions from Measure CS.1 are provided in Table 30.

Although not quantified herein, urban greening can further reduce building carbon emissions by reducing the heat island effect in cities which reduces the need to rely on air conditioning in homes. 74 Additionally, the application of suitable composted organic material to existing opens spaces can be used to enhance the sequestration of CO2e. The application of compost allows for carbon to be stored in the soil and, over time, to be captured in the stems, leaves, and roots of grasses, woody plants, and trees.
72 Information on the number of trees and tree replacement was obtained from conversation with the City of Burbank Parks and Recreation Department.

Results
There is no single Action under Measure CS-1.1 that will reduce GHG emission on its own. Instead, all of the Actions are collectively supportive towards increasing carbon sequestration.

2.11 City Government Action
The City Government Action Strategy consists of Measure that the City would implement as part of its own operations. As such, these Measure do not directly affect the community in a manner equivalent to the other Strategies and are therefore not considered for their connections to the Cornerstone Pillars.

ATTACHMENT 1-243

Measure CG-1.1 Complete annual progress reporting and a triennial GGRP review and update.

Background
Measure CG-1.1 sets in place a number of mechanisms for tracking the progress of GHG reduction measures included in the GGRP Update and to facilitate regular updates to the GHG inventory and the GGRP itself. There are no GHG emission reductions associated with Measure CG-1.1; therefore, it is not further discussed in this analysis.

Measure CG-1.2 Retrofit all City Streetlights and Outdoor Lighting at City facilities to Light-Emitting Diode (LED) by 2030.

Background
In 2014, the City adopted a Street Lighting Master Plan, which provided street lighting guidelines and a plan for converting High Pressure Sodium (HSP) lamps with Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) throughout the City. This plan was updated in 2019, which included a detailed assessment of the cost and energy savings associated with converting all streetlights to LED by 2024. As of 2019, approximately 50 percent of the streetlights in the City has already been converted to LEDs. Compared to HSP lamps, LEDs are 58 percent to 75 percent more efficient. Measure CG-1.2 aims to continue this effort and allow the City to claim the associated GHG reductions with energy efficiency gained from LED conversions. 75 Measure CG-1.2 also aims to convert all other City-owned outdoor lighting to LED by 2030 through Actions CG-1.2.c and CG-1.2.d, including outdoor lighting at City facilities, parking areas, and parks.

While this will increase the energy efficiency of City lighting, data was not available to understand the resulting energy savings that would occur from this effort. As such, the GHG emission reductions associated with the conversion of all City outdoor lighting, besides streetlights, is not calculated in this analysis. These energy efficiency savings will likely be available upon completion of a plan for the conversion to LED, at which time the GHG emission reduction savings can be included as part of the GGRP.

Methodology and Assumptions
Implementation of Action CG-1.2.a will result in GHG emission reductions resulting from energy savings from the conversion of all City streetlights to LED. As mentioned, as of 2019, the City had replaced about 50 percent of its total streetlight stock to LED. The emission reductions for 2030 are calculated from an estimate of energy that would be saved upon conversion of 100 percent of the City’s streetlights to LED.

The 2019 Streetlighting Master Plan provides monthly energy consumption summaries for streetlighting, disaggregated by bulb type. Non-LED type bulbs, which make up approximately 50percent of the streetlight stock in the City, consume approximately 81 percent of the total energy used for streetlighting.
76 As such, it is estimated that 81 percent of the total energy consumed for streetlighting in the City, was consumed by non-LED bulbs, which equates to approximately 5,108,730 75 City of Burbank Water and Power. 2019.

77 Assuming the average efficiency gain from converting HSP and other bulb type to LED is about 67 percent (average of 58 percent and 75 percent, as provided above), the conversion to all LED bulbs would result in an annual energy savings of approximately 3,422,850 kWh. This would reduce GHG emissions in 2030 at a rate equivalent to the estimated 2030 electricity GHG emission factor of

Not Quantified Measure CG-1.3 Electrify 25% of existing City facilities by 2030 and 100% of existing City facilities, where electrification is practical and feasible, by 2045, as well as all newly constructed City buildings.

Background
In the baseline year of 2019, City of Burbank municipal operations generated approximately 790 MT CO2e from the combustion of natural gas at buildings and facilities. Under Measure CG-1.3, the City will aim to retrofit 25 percent of existing City facilities to all-electric by 2030 and retrofit 100 percent of City facilities by 2045. Considering City’s operations are similar to that of the commercial sector, with facilities and offices that need to be heated and cooled, Public Works operations garages, as well as operation and maintenance yards, it is assumed that 100 percent of City operations can be similarly electrified. The actions under Measure CG-1.3 aim to initiate this effort and set in place collaborations between City departments that will allow the City to achieve this electrification goal.

The first step of this effort will be to establish an electrification-first policy in which natural gas fueled equipment at City facilities is replaced with electric equipment at time of replacement, and newly constructed City facilities and buildings are designed to be all-electric, under Action CG-1.3.b. With currently available technology, it is possible to electrify nearly 100 percent of commercial and residential buildings. Looking at the general lifespan of a commercial natural gas boiler of 25 years, which is likely the longest lifespan of general commercial equipment, if an electrification first policy is adopted by 2023, it is estimated that about 25 percent of existing buildings would require replacement of a natural gas boiler.
78 While it is possible that the City could reach the 2030 target of electrifying 25 percent of existing municipal facilities solely on a time of replacement strategy, an electrification opportunities assessment will also be conducted, under Action CG-1.3.a, which would establish a replacement plan for replacing natural gas fueled equipment with electric. This would set in place a mechanism for the City to increase the electrification of facilities in order to meet the 2030 target.

Additional Actions under Measure CG-1.3 provide support for the electrification of facilities by increasing the capacity for thermal and battery energy storage and increasing the amount of solar PV energy generation at municipal buildings and facilities. Specifically, Action CG-1.3.c aims to install PV at all feasible buildings and facilities in order to offset at least 80 percent of energy consumption. While 78 EIA. 2018.

this Action is likely to contribute significant GHG reductions, the scope of buildings that would have PV installed is not currently known, and therefore the reductions are not quantified as part of this analysis.

Methodology and Assumptions
In 2019, the City’s municipal buildings and facilities consumed 135,935 therms of pipeline natural gas. 79 This total excludes natural gas consumed at the Burbank Water Reclamation Plant. With electrification of 25 percent of buildings and facilities by 2030 and 100 percent by 2045, the City would reduce its natural gas consumption by 33,984 therms and 135,935 therms, respectively. Using the emission factor for pipeline natural gas of 0.00531 MT CO2e/therm, the City would reduce its emissions from natural gas consumption by 181 MT CO2e in 2030 and 722 MT CO2e in 2045. 80 These emissions would be offset
by the additional consumption of electricity needed to fuel replaced equipment. GHG emission reduction calculations for Measure CG-1.3 are provided in Table 34.

Measure CG-1.4 Implement a flexible employee commute program, with a target of having 25% of applicable City employee staff time utilizing telecommuting by 2030.

Background
In 2019, it was estimated that City employees commuting in passenger vehicles generated approximately 5,113 MT CO2e.
81 Through Measure CG-1.4, the City aims to provide expanded commute options, other than driving to work alone, as well as setting a policy that has 25 percent of eligible City employee staff time performed remotely, or telecommuting, by 2030.

Methodology and Assumptions
While all Actions under Measure CG-1.4 aim to reduce GHG emissions from City employee commuting, only Action CG-1.4.c has quantifiable GHG emission reductions. The 25 percent target for City employee staff time to telecommute was developed based on an estimate by the City’s Transportation Division, which considers the need for many employees to be on site at City facilities for essential operations. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a number of City employees have already been telecommuting, showing the potential for the efficacy of telecommute options. Not only does employee telecommuting provide GHG reductions, it also provides flexibility for employees with longer commute times. Actions CG-1.4.a and CG-1.4.b may also have associated GHG emissions reduction, but substantial evidence was not available to accurately estimate these reductions.

Of the approximately 1,375 City employees, 375 have positions that do not require in person duties 100 percent of the time.
82 In 2019, it was estimated that employee commuting by carpool or drive alone generated 15,422,970 VMT.
83 With the 375 positions eligible for telecommute, approximately 27 percent of this VMT would have the potential for reduction under Measure CG-1.4.

counting of GHG emission reductions associated with TMO reductions from Measure T-2.2, GHG emission reduction calculations reduce the VMT reduction potential by 30%, consistent with the City’s AVR targets. By having 25 percent of eligible staff time telecommute, it is estimated that this would result in an effective 25 percent reduction in eligible employee commute VMT each year, equivalent to 736,096 VMT. GHG emission reductions can be calculated using the passenger vehicle GHG emission factors from CARB’s EMFAC2017 vehicle emission factors database, which provides passenger vehicle emission factors of 245 g CO2e/mile and 214 g CO2e/mile for 2030 and 2045, respectively.

3 Conclusion
The implementation of the Measures and Actions identified in this GGRP Update will lead to a significant reduction in GHG emissions and provide a foundation for achieving net-carbon neutrality.

However, achieving carbon neutrality will require additional changes to the technology and systems currently in place and will require further policies and programs that build on this plan including full electrification of building and transportation systems, an increased shift to shared and active mobility, and increased waste reduction and diversion. The Actions and Measures developed to meet the 2030 goals established in SB 32 provide the foundation and establishes the trajectory for this long-term transformation. However, the 2045 GHG emissions reductions quantified in this GGRP Update are not yet enough to meet the long-term 2045 goal of carbon neutrality. As the current Actions and Measures are implemented, the City will gain more information, new technologies will emerge, and current pilot projects and programs are anticipated to scale to the size needed to reach carbon neutrality.

Furthermore, the State is expected to continue providing updated regulations and support once the 2030 target is achieved. To monitor the progress overtime, the City will conduct annual implementation monitoring of the GHG emission reduction measures and report out on this progress to City Council every year beginning in 2022. The process for monitoring and quantifying measure implementation status relies on key target metrics identified for each of the Measures and Actions. By committing to annual monitoring of GGRP Update implementation progress and adjusting where necessary, the City of Burbank will be able to incorporate changes to Measures or add Measures to adjust their pathway towards meeting their GHG reduction targets during quinquennial updates to the GGRP. This will allow the City to rise to meet the local and global imperative of reducing GHG emissions.

Funding and Financing Approaches for Key Actions in the Burbank Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan
Introduction
This analysis identifies existing funding and financing mechanisms that can support action implementation for four actions critical to meeting the established emission reduction targets in the Burbank Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (GGRP) Update.

Because cities around the world already face challenges in meeting their constituents’ needs for investment in many types of critical infrastructure and programs, this analysis examines approaches that go beyond the use of General Fund monies to pay for climate-related infrastructure; as funding and financing from beyond municipal sources is central to unlocking investments that generate benefits for a wide group of constituencies in Burbank and beyond its borders.

Funding and financing strategies that go beyond publicly-led approaches may also reduce the burden on low-income residents to fund investments that broadly support all residents and businesses in Burbank and beyond. This analysis identifies a range of approaches and relevant case studies for funding and financing investments in buildings, transportation and energy generation that result in emissions reductions.

Defining Funding and Financing
Although the terms funding and financing are often used interchangeably in policy contexts, for the purposes of this analysis, funding is defined distinctly from financing. Funding refers to the money used for a specific purpose or project, raised at one time or over time through methods like grants or taxes, while financing refers to the process of receiving money that must eventually be paid back to financial institutions lending it, such as banks. As a result of this payback requirement, financing presupposes an underlying revenue source available for repayment over time.

Paying for Climate Investments in California
In California, many laws and policies restrict local governments’ ability to levy taxes and fees while concerns around funding for transportation, water and social infrastructure needs and equity impacts Figure 1: Funding and Financing Dynamics

EXHIBIT 1
from increased tax burdens contribute to the need for creative solutions to paying for climate investments.

While there are many available options for financing investment, projects must be able to demonstrate revenue streams or payback potential to access financing for these investments. Additionally, most major projects—even non-climate investments—require multiple sources of funding. Given the latter, it is paramount to identify beneficiaries from investments who may be able to invest in or advocate for public funding for the a given project.

To hone the GGRP Update’s actions into implementation, this memo seeks to refine funding and financing approaches for 4 key action groups in the Burbank GGRP and to identify key stakeholders that could be willing to provide monetary, political or other support for implementation. See Table 1 for information on the four key action groups addressed in this memorandum.

Funding + Financing Approaches for Key Actions in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan Action Group 1: Housing Electrification
Building electrification has been commonly approached at the individual homeowner level, but new community-level approaches have emerged in recent years. To undertake electrification at scale, a new approach will be needed since, historically, electrification and other building resilience infrastructure has been funded through FEMA Emergency Funds following damages from a natural disaster. However, this approach is not equitable or economically sensible, so proactive measures to make infrastructure more resilient will require other, and possibly multiple, funding and financing sources.

Building electrification in Burbank will likely require a coordinated approach between public and private entities to scale up impact over time. The initial structure for building electrification could be piloted, then expanded to private entities and further to a district scale. In the future, district-scale building electrification may be comprised of buildings and/or units owned by one entity or by multiple owners.

Approaching building electrification at the district scale will present major benefits, though accompanied by challenges. Benefits include opportunities for public-private partnership and a wider variety of options for funding and financing, while challenges include the coordination and agreement of property owners who may not be interested in electrification upgrades to their property.

The City of Burbank may consider implementing building electrification at a neighborhood or block level as a test case before scaling up the district scale. This approach can help to spread out costs over a longer period, as well as test out different approaches before determining the best practices for district-wide electrification.

The following sections present key tools for funding and financing, discuss case studies and approaches for housing electrification in Burbank, and identify key constituencies and potential opportunities for generating financial and/or political support for housing electrification. Although this information should provide insight into how Burbank could pay for housing electrification, further definition around implementation and feasibility will be required to define a final funding and financing plan.

Key Tools
The key tools for funding and financing housing electrification will be bolded as they are described in the context of each case study. Additional information on each can be found in the Glossary at the end of the memorandum.

Housing Electrification Actions
Implement a pilot project for retrofitting of an entire building of affordable housing units, as determined feasible with Action C-1.1.d
Identify and implement a pilot project for electrification of a complete neighborhood composed of low-income and affordable housing, including energy bill protections in case energy bills exceed costs to residents prior to project implementation and pursuing opportunities for natural gas infrastructure pruning.

ATTACHMENT 1-254
EXHIBIT 1
Housing-specific Approaches
District Approach: Oakland EcoBlock
The Oakland EcoBlock Project in Oakland, California aims to retrofit homes with rooftop solar PV, electric appliances, water efficiency, and energy upgrades, as well as installing microgrids at the city block scale to create quicker and more cost-effective route to building electrification.1 This approach combines a portfolio of technologies and allows homes to be connected to a microgrid as well as the existing Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) grid service. The project is funded primarily by the California Energy Commission to support various California legal mandates related to energy and resource efficiency and resiliency (SB 100, SB 606, AB 1668, and SB 1339).

While this project is a pilot program is paid for by the Energy Commission, a similar model could be paid for with an assessment district or with the establishment of a neighborhood “Trust” organization. An assessment district is a charge imposed on property owners in a specified geographic area or district to fund projects or services that provide direct benefits to properties in that district. A neighborhood trust would be a nonprofit community-based fund that would manage capital, operations, and maintenance related to the energy efficiency projects. Funds would be raised from the community members that receive benefits. These two options essentially function the same way, by raising funds from community members that receive benefits, with the key difference being that trusts can acquire other assets, such as land or buildings. In Burbank, a neighborhood-scale approach could use an assessment district or trust to fund and carry out electrification and other investments, though coupling such an approach with cost- saving investments, incentives, and grants is important to ensuring that low-income communities can benefit from electrification investments.

Household Approach: East Bay Community Energy
At the individual home level, East Bay Community Energy (EBCE), the community choice aggregator for Alameda County and the county’s cities, is collaborating with Sunrun on a program named “Resilient Home.” This program aims to install residential home solar battery backup systems that will operate as energy supply for the homes in the event of outages. This program was developed in response to the 2019 PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs, which left 30,000 EBCE customers in Alameda County without power.

This approach uses state and market incentives to advance solar and storage adoption in EBCE’s territory and creates a new value stream resulting from distributed battery storage. Sunrun acts as the industry partner in charge of installation of solar and battery storage installation and provides an incentive of $1,250 to homeowners for agreeing to share their stored energy with EBCE when the power grid is operating normally.

Some homeowners may receive battery storage for free through the State’s Self-Generation Incentive Program, while others can select from a variety of payment structures for solar and battery system, including a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) structure. Examples of payment structures include fully purchasing the solar and battery system, prepaid solar with battery storage, using a loan to purchase the 1 https://ecoblock.berkeley.edu/about/
ATTACHMENT 1-255
EXHIBIT 1
solar system and battery, or a monthly energy purchase which requires no money down and provides energy at a pre-negotiated rate over time.2
In Burbank, adding solar and storage to residential sites could create funding for electrification by creating cost savings elsewhere across the City (e.g., avoided generation costs) that could be repurposed for electrification. Deploying solar and storage in concert with electrification could also create additional cost saving opportunities for residents and may provide additional reduction in customer bills, potentially increase the resilience of Burbank Water and Power (BWP) operations and customers through battery usage agreements.

Multi-benefit Approaches
Building electrification could be coupled with other infrastructure upgrades, such as fiber optic cable installation for high-speed internet or other on-site upgrades and maintenance. In these cases, multiple projects can share costs, such as walk-throughs or sitework, lowering total costs for all projects. For example, the LIFT Pilot Program from MCE Clean Energy has bundled grant and incentive funding from the federal Energy Savings Assistance Program (ESAP), the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative, and other energy efficiency incentives3 to benefit multifamily properties that are left out of existing low-income programs. The program provides several services, including upgrading gas furnaces to electric heat pumps, weatherization services, and other home rehabilitation service to improve resident’s health such as pest management and roof repairs.4
From a public funding perspective, bundling multiple services with electrification, such as road repair, the replacement or addition of other utility infrastructure, or street landscaping, may increase public support of funding and financing measures that require voter approval, reduce overall costs for the City, provide an opportunity for a variety of improvements that benefit residents, and create opportunities for Burbank to access a variety of grant funding sources. Additionally, though the returns from bundled investments are now proven, private entities may be enticed to undertake multi-benefit residential improvement projects once a baseline for performance has been established. From a private investment perspective, bundling multiple improvements together streamlines project execution and may support profitability; while from a private financing perspective, bundling multiple services together may improve the value proposition of electrification if it is packaged with a higher-margin service.

Supporting Grants
Two grants that may be complementary to a strategy for building electrification are described below.

Although neither is specific to building electrification, these grants may form a component of a larger project and associated funding approach.
− The National Community Solar Partnership (NCSP): A coalition of community solar stakeholders, led by the US Department of Energy, working to expand access to affordable community solar to every American household by 2025.

technical assistance resources to set goals and work to overcome persistent barriers to expanding community solar access to underserved communities. This organization provides technical assistance and funding opportunities to municipal utilities and multifamily affordable housing developments, among others.
− Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH): This program provides financial incentives to substantially offset the cost of a solar PV system affordable multifamily buildings. Property owners of affordable housing buildings may apply for this program. The program requires that the majority of the system directly powers tenant meters, but also provides incentives for common area loads. Eligible properties must have at least five units, be deed-restricted low- income residential housing, with either 80% of residents with incomes at or below 60% of area median income (AMI) or be located in a defined disadvantaged community (DAC) that scores in the top 25% of census tracts statewide in the CalEnviroScreen. The building must also be an existing building being retrofitted, have separately metered units, and be a utility or community choice aggregator (CCA) customer.

Key Constituencies + Opportunities
Key constituents include tenants, property owners, BWP and its ratepayers, energy developers, and adjacent businesses depending on the approach taken to achieve district-wide building electrification.

Tenants, property owners, BWP and ratepayers are all entities who will likely be involved regardless of scale or funding and financing approach, while energy developers and adjacent businesses may only be involved to the extent that they can participate in retrofits/renewable energy installation or a district-scale approach to electrification, respectively.

If businesses and/or energy developers can be incorporated into electrification approaches, it may be possible to structure a project that can benefit from private financing. Additional detail related to implementation would be required to examine the feasibility of such an approach, but where cost savings or new benefits (like energy resilience) result, private entities may be willing to finance improvements in exchange for repayment over time.

Action 2: Complete Landfill Gas Capture
Methane emissions from landfills in the U.S. represent approximately 34% of total U.S. anthropogenic methane pollution.5 Many local governments across the United States are utilizing technologies to capture methane from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. Typically, MSW landfills are owned by local governments or the private sector. Using a funding approach that combines grant funding or public resources with public-private partnership are the preferred methods for implementing landfill gas capture in other jurisdictions.

In addition to the generation of electricity, landfill gas capture provides additional benefits of improving local air quality, and economic benefits through the creation of specialized permanent jobs in the public and private sectors.

In Burbank, landfill gas capture is already underway, and potential approaches are identified below that may support the City in increasing its landfill gas capture rate though additional definition on the preferred approach for increasing the rate of landfill gas capture is required to determine a final funding and financing approach.

Complete Landfill Gas Capture Actions
Identify grant funding opportunities to increase landfill gas capture rate at Burbank Landfill Site No. 3 to the maximum extent practicable.

Key Tools
The key funding and financings tools for increasing landfill gas capture are grants. Public private partnerships are also commonly deployed and are discussed in a series of case studies.

Grants
The following grants are available to public and some private entities to assist with capital costs of installing a new landfill gas capture system. Eligibility requirements vary between grant programs and will require further review by the City of Burbank to determine the fit of any specific grant program, some of which may require additional private sector partnerships. − USDA - Biorefinery, Renewable Chemical, and Biobased Product Manufacturing Assistance Program: This is a federal loan program that can be used to assist in the development, construction and retrofitting of new and emerging technologies, including municipal solid waste and landfill gas. Eligible applicants include federal or state-charted banks, cooperatives, and credit unions, which can request a guarantee for borrowers such as state and local governments and corporations. The grant amount cannot exceed 80% of total project costs, meaning the financed entity must provide at least 20% of financing and the borrower and other principals involved in the project must make a significant cash equity contribution.6
− Sales and Use Tax Exclusion for Advanced Transportation and Alternative Energy Manufacturing Program: This is a tax incentive program in the State of California for eligible 5 https://palebluedot.llc/denton-methane-capture

renewable energies, including manufacturers that promote landfill gas and municipal solid waste energy production. Applicants must be manufacturers, which would exclude the City of Burbank as an applicant. However, should Burbank elect to form a public-private partnership with a manufacturer to support this action, the private partner may be eligible to apply for this incentive, which would exclude their purchases of Qualified Property, that is used in an Advanced Manufacturing product that is used to manufacture Alternative Source products.

Essentially, this means land and equipment purchased by a manufacturer for the construction of alternative energy generation plants and equipment (including landfill gas capture) may be exempt from sales and use tax. This excludes the purchase of finished equipment for power generation. Manufacturers must make 25% of purchases in the first year after approval, and all purchases must be made within three years following application approval.
7 Public-Private Partnerships
Landfill gas capture has been successfully implemented across the country using a public-private partnership, or P3, approach. A few key examples are discussed below, and more examples of private partners that have achieved recognition from the EPA for innovative approaches can be found via the EPA’s Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP).8 The City of Burbank, as the owner and operator of Burbank Landfill Site No. 3, could enter into an agreement with a private partner to construct and maintain landfill gas capture infrastructure.

In 2004 and 2005, Denton, Texas experienced poor air quality and higher than acceptable levels of ozone.

In an effort to improve air quality and reduce vehicle pollution from its fleet, the city established a public private partnership with UT Arlington professors and DTE Biomass Energy to construct and operate a biodiesel fuel production facility powered by methane from the city’s landfill. The plant uses the landfill methane as a fuel source for biodiesel production. As a result, the city reduced its emissions of criteria air pollutants and met federal air quality standards by using alternative fuels for a portion of its fleet.9 The Denton-DTE P3 was structured so that the City would provide the site, allow DTE exclusive rights to the landfill gas, and pay for the capital costs of the collection system and extraction wells. DTE is responsible for providing the capital to build the generating station, monitor, manage and repair the gas collection system, as well pay the City a 12.5% royalty of gross power sales. The City of Burbank is the current owner/operator of Burbank Landfill Site No. 3 and could potentially adopt a similar agreement with a private energy company, including a performance provision for gas capture up to a given threshold, such as 99%. Burbank could also incentivize potential private partners by allowing a tax exclusion in exchange for the construction, operation, and maintenance of landfill gas collection.

Hancock County in Ohio owns and operates the Hancock County Sanitary Landfill serving the surrounding community. The County partnered with LMOP Partner Granger Energy Services, as well as Buckeye Power and Hancock Woods Cooperative, to deliver a 3.2-MW landfill gas electricity project. This partnership resulted in a new revenue stream from the sale of landfill gas for the County. This benefit, 7 https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/caeatfa/ste/index.asp

along with improved local air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, demonstrates the efficacy of P3s in establishing landfill gas capture.10
In Orange County, California, the Olina Alpha Landfill Combined Cycle Project implemented one of the largest landfill gas-to-energy facilities in the nation. Annual county revenue for landfill gas sales is $2.75 million, and the project's combined cycle process is more efficient than a standard gas turbine project with a 45 percent gross electrical efficiency. In addition, the plant's wastewater is used to control dust at the landfill in place of potable water supplies. This project was made possible through a P3, with the private energy companies entering into a Power Purchase Agreement with the City of Anaheim/Anaheim Public Utilities. The project was financed using a long term off-take agreement fully wrapped,11 fixed price, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract.12 Key Constituencies + Opportunities
Key constituencies include BWP and its ratepayers, and could potentially include private energy companies as well if a public-private partnership is pursued. Key considerations include analysis on how improving existing or installing additional landfill gas capture infrastructure in Burbank will impact utility rates as well as any associated outcomes from the use of captured gas, such as on surrounding air quality and other environmental benefits when displacing other fuels.

Associated benefits in terms of air quality and resulting public health impacts could present an opportunity to engage with these constituencies to generate public support for funding additional landfill gas capture through taxes and/or fees. In the instance that a P3 approach is selected, despite a more complex structure, this approach could allow BWP to ensure that private partners meet performance standards for capture of landfill gas as part of the agreement.

Action 3: Deploy EV Infrastructure
The City of Burbank is aiming to install EV charge port to support transportation electrification in the City.

This action is already underway as BWP has installed and operates 16 EV charge port at Burbank Town Center. Burbank has previously used grant funding from the California Energy Commission for the installation of EV charge port throughout the city.

As the City seeks to continue roll out of EV charging across the city, a variety of funding and financing approaches are available. Final selection of a funding and financing approach will be informed by the City’s interest in developing new programs and policies, grant pursuit and receipt, and ability to engage in public private partnerships.

Deploy EV Infrastructure
Implement the BWP Transportation Electrification Plan to facilitate installation of EV charge port through customer rebates and direct installation of charging stations.

Investigate opportunities to help fund additional EV charging infrastructure by leveraging public/private partnerships and ensuring the City is ch
arging for EV infrastructure use at City-owned facilities.

Key Tools
The key funding and financings tools for deploying EV infrastructure include grants, local agency rebates, public-private partnerships and policy incentives or mandates. Each tool is presented in its respective section below.

Grants
Burbank has previously accessed grant funding to deploy EV infrastructure, including the California Energy Commission Clean Transportation Program, which is described in the Glossary section of this memorandum.
− The California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP): This program, funded by the California Energy Commission and implemented by the Center for Sustainable Energy, provides incentives for EV charger installations and works with local partners on projects that support regional EV needs for Level 2 and direct current fast charging. The County of San Diego made use of this program to help fund $21.7 million in EV charging infrastructure rebates.

The CEC provided $15.8 million in funds raised through vehicle and vessel registrations, license plates and smog abatement fees, and the remaining $5.9 million comes from the San Diego Association of Governments ($4.5 million from SANDAG’s TransNet program, funded by a half-cent sales tax) and the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District ($1.4 million from motor vehicle fees). For each station, these funds are used to provide individual rebates are up to $6,000 for Level 2 chargers and can cover anywhere from 50 percent to nearly all the costs of the station.

EXHIBIT 1
Local Agency Rebates
The City of Los Angeles has expanded EV charging infrastructure using a variety of approaches. A portion of charging stations were partially funded by the LADWP Commercial EV Charging Station Rebate Program. The program currently offers rebates to help offset the cost of equipment installation to businesses and residences. 60% of rebates have gone to multi-unit dwellings, while other city agencies, such as the Bureau of Street Lighting, have also installed charging stations through this program.

The City of Burbank and/or BWP could adopt a similar program structure and offer rebates to property and business owners for installing EV charging infrastructure. Funds could potentially be raised through bonds or other means.

Public-Private Partnerships
The City of Sacramento partnered with EVgo, a company that installs EV charging networks, to offer high- powered curbside charging in Sacramento through a public-private partnership. The agreement between EVgo and the City of Sacramento authorized EVgo to develop 6 fast chargers and 10 designated EV parking spaces in the public right-of-way. EVgo is responsible for the development of the chargers, including project design, electric services, ADA compliance, entitlements, permitting, construction, and operations and maintenance over the term period.

This agreement will be of no cost to the City of Sacramento. In fact, the City receives $2,000 annually in licensing fees for the use of public space over the 10-year agreement term, to help offset the cost of staff time and support the development of future EV projects.14 Policy
The installation of EV charging infrastructure can also be mandated or encouraged through policy changes. Local governments in California can include charging requirements or incentives in their zoning ordinances, development guidelines and standards, or accompanying parking codes.

The City of San Carlos has incentivized the development of EV charging by providing developers with a 10% density bonus for providing parking with EV charging among other environmental design features.15 This would transfer much of the cost of installing infrastructure to private developers. It should be noted that policy changes could potentially hinder new development, depending on market conditions, and this topic should be further studied if under consideration.

Allowing benefits to developers, such as increased density or discounted permitting fees, in exchange for including EV charging infrastructure could help to offset a potential decline in new development from new restrictive policies.

Key Constituencies + Opportunities
Key constituencies include residents who own or would consider the purchase of electric vehicles, those who drive to Burbank with EVs and the destinations they visit, the City of Burbank, BWP, and potential private partners such as EV charging network companies and/or developers.

The use of rebates to residences or businesses could help incentivize the rapid deployment EV charging infrastructure while encouraging the participation of multi-family residences and the business community in achieving this goal. Businesses may also view EV charging stations as an amenity for workers and customers, which increases their attractiveness and means that there could be private willingness to pay for a share of charging installation costs.

Action 4: Solar + Storage for City Facilities
City buildings may require or benefit from additional investment when installing solar and storage, such as energy efficiency investments or retrofit to ensure that buildings hosting distributed energy resources are resilient to hazards, such as earthquakes, and continue provide critical services. Paying for these investments is an additional consideration, and to determine a preferred approach for funding and financing solar and storage, additional study will be required to define critical considerations such as generation potential, battery sizing, associated improvements, maintenance needs, and potential for public private partnership.

Deploy Solar + Storage on Buildings Actions
Direct BWP to continue to work with businesses (especially the studios) on partnerships designed to maximize the use of renewable energy including solar/ storage, appropriate tariff changes and microgrid opportunities Expand renewable energy generation at BWP facilities, with a goal of installing renewable energy generation at all feasible locations by 2040.

Install 5 MW of local solar capacity, utilizing parking structure roofs and buildings around City as means to increase load capacity, including in areas where high loads from electric vehicle charging is likely.

Identify and install battery energy storage systems at appropriate City facilities, and leverage projects to further promote benefits of distributed energy storage, which are directly connected to a renewable resource.

In partnership with BWP, install photovoltaic at all City buildings where feasible to offset at least 80% of energy consumption and use excess generation to contribute to City-wide renewable energy sources.

Key Tools
The key funding and financings tools for installing solar and storage at City facilities described below include grants and public private partnerships.

Grants
Grants from state and federal sources have been used to examine how solar and storage can function in public sector contexts. Eligibility requirements vary between grant programs and will require further review by the City of Burbank to determine the fit of any specific grant program. − Local Government Challenge: The City of Del Mar, California was awarded a grant to install photovoltaic (PV) panels and energy storage equipment in a new civic center complex. The city received a $389,000 grant for a 62.5-kilowatt PV system and a 100-kWh energy storage system from the California Energy Commission under the Local Government Challenge16 to demonstrate the effectiveness of solar and energy storage systems in municipal and commercial buildings.

Data on system performance will be made public, including return on investment, long-term energy costs and system efficiency in a coastal environment with overcast skies. This project also monitors, assesses, and disseminates information on the energy savings and performance metrics.17
16 This program is now closed, as it was one-time awarded in 2017. 17 https://energycenter.org/program/city-del-mar-solar-storage-demonstration; https://www.delmar.ca.us/758/The-Civic-Center-Energy-Enhancements-Pro ATTACHMENT 1-264
EXHIBIT 1
− Solar Market Pathways Program: The City of San Francisco’s environment department (SFE), under a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Market Pathways Program, created the Solar + Storage for Resiliency project. This project aims to integrate solar and energy storage into the City's emergency response plans, which in turn would expand the solar market and serve as a model for other municipalities.

With grant funds, SFE was able to develop an approach to utilizing existing solar systems during an outage and create a Best Practices Manual for regional, state, and national networks. To fund implementation of projects identified as best practices during the Solar Resilient Project, San Francisco is working with their capital planning department, speaking with philanthropic donors, and exploring grant opportunities.18 Public Private Partnerships
Public private partnerships are a very common approach to solar as well as solar and storage installation on public buildings, with about 80 percent of schools with solar installations in the United States using this approach19. Typically, a third-party energy developer installs and maintains a solar and/or solar and storage system under a power purchase agreement with the public entity. Cost savings resulting from lowered energy bills have been used to pay for other mission-related needs, including teacher raises in the case of one school district in Arkansas.

The City of Fremont was also able to install solar and storage at several fire stations to create microgrids providing for resilient operations, while also saving the city $250,000 and 36 MTCO2e of carbon emissions20 over the next decade using a hybrid grant and public private partnership approach. In addition to grant funding from the California Energy Commission, the project was financed via a power purchase agreement with Gridscape Solutions, the project developer.

Key Constituencies + Opportunities
Key constituencies include BWP, the City of Burbank, city residents and potential private partners.

Ensuring that this action as helps to bolster resilience for critical services, such as emergency response, against power outages and natural disaster could expand grant eligibility and public support for this action, while including private partners can reduce the upfront funding required to install solar + storage.

As a result, a public private approach may represent a rapid path to installing solar and storage across multiple City facilities at one time.

Over time, and with regulatory changes, it may also be possible to consider a district approach to solar and storage, or microgrid, which could provide additional opportunity to leverage private investment.

EXHIBIT 1
Recommendations
The findings presented here should serve as a starting point for developing a funding and financing plan to implement these actions. Funding and financing should be considered as an integrated component of the GGRP and doing so increases the number of paths to paying for these investments. This is a particularly relevant consideration given that fully funding GGRP Update actions will likely require multiple sources of funding and each could draw on several financing mechanisms.

Additional work to support these actions might include enacting policies to support the GGRP Update actions, such as changes to policies that define and enable the use of new technologies in buildings, transportation and energy generation. In addition, new or more flexible methods for procurement may be needed to pursue public private partnerships. Developing data that define the benefits and costs of the investments called for by the GGRP’s actions could help in securing grant programs for funding, or in pursuing partnerships with private entities.

The scale of investment required to implement the GGRP Update may result in a phased implementation approach, though additional implementation capacity to resulting from public private partnerships could alleviate the upfront costs of investment. To develop priorities in a phased implementation approach, considerations related to changes in costs for technologies like battery storage over the next several years, resilience benefits—particularly for frontline communities, and potential changes in the ability to borrow/cost of borrowing for the City over the implementation timeframe should be used.

Glossary
This section details commonly used funding and financing approaches that could be implemented to raise funds for the actions above.

Assessment District: This is a charge imposed on property owners in a specified geographic area or district to fund projects or services that provide direct benefits to properties in that district. The funds raised can be used for capital expenses or for costs associated with operations and maintenance.

Assessment Districts are not subject to Proposition 13 limitations, have lower public approval thresholds than taxes, can be regional in scale, and allows beneficiaries to directly pay for the project. To successfully implement an Assessment district, an assessment report to identify the benefit received by each property must be developed, the benefit cannot be general enhancement of property value, and cannot exclude any properties that receive the benefit. Assessment districts include Community Facility Districts, Business Improvement Districts, Green Benefits Districts, and many more.

Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD): An EIFD allows a local agency to leverage and borrow money to finance the construction or rehabilitation of a range of infrastructure, based on the “tax increment” that is generated by increased property values in the district that result from the introduction of the new infrastructure. An EIFD can theoretically be used for all public projects that can demonstrate a communitywide benefit. The EIFD provides broad flexibility in what it can fund. No public vote is required to establish an authority, and though a 55 percent vote is required to issue bonds, other financing alternatives exist. This tool imposes no geographic limitations on where it can be used, and no blight findings are required. An EIFD can be used on a single street, in a neighborhood or throughout an entire city. It can also cross jurisdictional boundaries and involve multiple cities and a county. While an individual city can form an EIFD without participation from other local governments, the flexibility of this tool and the enhanced financial capacity created by partnerships will likely generate creative discussions between local agencies on how the tool can be used to fund common priorities. This approach could be used to finance electrification at the block, neighborhood, or district-wide level.

Developer Impact Fees: This is a fee that can be imposed by local governments on developers to pay for infrastructure and public services expansion related to the development. This mechanism can be used for capital costs and does not require voter approval. These funds are tied to new developments and will increase the cost of development. The fee cannot exceed the reasonable cost of service or facility provision. As these are fees paid by a developer related to a specific project, the funds are dependent on the market conditions and developable land capacity. In addition, the scale of projects paid for using impact fees will be limited to areas with potential for new development.

Green Bonds: A type of bond that funds projects with environmental goals, including adaptation and resilience. Green bonds can be issued as municipal bonds, allowing for low-cost financing. Funds raised can be used to cover capital expenses and would be applicable to all actions discussed here.

General Obligation Bonds: Bonds are a commonly used financing tool where money is borrowed from investors or the public and paid back with interest. Implemented local bonds requires two-thirds voter approval for local GO Bond debt, and the amount is dependent on debt capacity. Funds raised can be used for capital expenses.

ATTACHMENT 1-267
EXHIBIT 1
Utility User Tax: This approach increases taxes for existing utility services, including electricity. Funds raised can be used for capital or operations and maintenance expenses. This tax can be regional in scale and requires simple majority approval for cities and counties. Because of this, there could possibly be political pushback against this approach. It is uncommon to securitize this type of funding, and it is often used as a revenue source by jurisdictions with low-generating tax bases.

Mello-Roos Community Facility District: This is a special tax imposed on taxable property within the District to fund infrastructure and public services. The special tax can fund planning, design, construction, or improvement. These are commonly used for water/sewer infrastructure, fire and police services, road and bridge infrastructure, and flood protection. The funds raised can be used for capital expenses or for costs associated with operations and maintenance. This funding mechanism is particularly useful for new development, as approval thresholds are low and depend primarily on agreements with the developer.

The geographic boundary of a Mello-Roos district does not need to be contiguous, and the rate of tax can be made flexible. This approach can be applied to electrifying new residential development.

Public-Private Partnership (P3): P3s are typically long-term cooperative arrangements between government agencies and private sectors to complete a project or deliver a service to the public. This approach may be particularly of interest for actions that have high potential for revenue generation, such as landfill gas and EV charging infrastructure.

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): A PPA is a contract between two parties: an electricity producer or seller and a purchaser. Typically, a developer will arrange for the design, permitting, financing and installation of a solar energy system on a customer’s property at little to no cost. The developer, who is responsible for system operation and maintenance, then sells the electricity generated to the host customer at fixed rate, that is typically lower than the local utility rates. Contracts will expire after a specified period (typically 10-15 years), upon which the customer can decide to extend the PPA, remove the system, or purchase the entire system from the developer. The types of agreements are typically between individual property owners and a developer, which could pose challenged for BWP, which currently acts as the primary energy “seller” in Burbank. These agreements are commonly used for solar PV installation and maintenance.

The California Energy Commission Clean Transportation Program (Grant): This program (also known as the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program) provides funding to support innovation and accelerate the development and deployment of advanced transportation and fuel technologies. Annual investments of up to $100 million promote accelerated development and deployment of advanced transportation and fuel technologies, including expedited development of fueling and charging infrastructure for low-and zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. Available solicitations through this program vary throughout the year.

Local Setting
Burbank has two general areas: the foothills along the Verdugo Mountains and the flatlands.4 The City has a mix of uses with suburbs, a downtown area, many large media studios, and the airport.

The downtown area is located along I-5, toward the eastern portion of the City. The Hollywood Burbank Airport is located in the northwestern portion of the City and brings many people to the City.

The City receives approximately 17 inches of rain annually, 286 sunny days per year, with a July high temperature of 86°F and a January low temperature of 45°F.5 Similar to the rest of the Los Angeles Air Basin, a temperature inversion, where warm dry air overrides cool marine air and traps air pollutants close to the ground, often occurs during late summer and autumn.

4. Existing Setting
City of Burbank Sustainability and GHG Reduction Efforts The City of Burbank has established actions related to increasing sustainability and reducing GHG emissions and the potential impacts of climate change. These actions are outlined in the City’s various plans discussed below.
1997 BURBANK CENTER SPECIFIC PLAN
The Burbank Center Specific Plan was adopted in 1997 and is an economic revitalization plan addressing transportation planning and long-range use of the downtown area. It encourages mixed- use projects to minimize vehicular traffic and encourage compatible uses within close proximity of existing modes of transportation.6 The plan encourages reduction of vehicle traffic which could lead to a decrease in GHG emissions.

CITY OF BURBANK SUSTAINABILITY ACTION PLAN AND ZERO WASTE POLICY In January 2008, the City Council adopted the Sustainability Action Plan to support the United Nations Urban Environmental Accords. The Sustainability Action Plan addresses the City’s efforts toward providing a clean, healthy, and safe environment. As part of the Sustainability Action Plan, the City adopted the Zero Waste Strategic Plan that includes a goal to achieve zero waste by 2040.

The Zero Waste Plan includes four basic strategies, with a priority placed on “upstream” solutions to eliminate waste before it is created. The plan also includes actions to build on the City’s traditional “downstream” recycling programs to fully utilize the existing waste diversion infrastructure.7 The four basic strategies include:
a. Advocate for Manufacturer Responsibility for Product Waste and Support Elimination of Problem Materials
b. Adopt New Rules and Incentives to Reduce Waste

BICYCLE MASTER PLAN
The City of Burbank’s Bicycle Master Plan8 was adopted on December 15, 2009, and serves as a policy document to guide the development and maintenance of a bicycle network, support facilities, and other programs for the City. Policies in the Bicycle Master Plan address issues related to bikeways, such as planning, community involvement, utilization of existing resources, facility design, multi-modal integration, safety education, and support facilities, as well as specific programs, implementation, maintenance, and funding.

NORTH SAN FERNANDO BOULEVARD MASTER PLAN
The North San Fernando Boulevard Master Plan9 is a policy document that provides a strategy to guide future development and streetscape improvements along the segment of North San Fernando Boulevard between Interstate 5 and Burbank Boulevard. Additionally, it includes recommendations to improve the surrounding residential and commercial streets. Specific policies included in the North San Fernando Boulevard Master Plan aim to enhance pedestrian and bicyclist comfort and safety, expand the tree canopy, and allow mixed-use developments. In general, these policies encourage people to actively commute instead of driving single-occupancy vehicles.

BURBANK 2035: GENERAL PLAN
The City’s General Plan is focused on balanced development, community image and character, complete streets, economic vitality, environmental equality, housing variety, open space and conservation, proactive and responsive government, quality neighborhoods and schools, and safety for the City of Burbank’s community. The Plan has set policies to address the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for effects due to climate change. The implementation of the GGRP and Climate Change Adaption strategies are how the General Plan addresses the previously mentioned goals.10
2013 GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION PLAN
The City of Burbank adopted the Burbank 2035 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (GGRP) in 2013.

Guided by the framework set forth in the Burbank 2035 General Plan, the GGRP implements Goal 3 and associated Policies 3.1 and 3.2. Policy 3.1 establishes the target for Burbank to reduce communitywide greenhouse gas emissions by at least 15 percent from 2013 levels by 2020, and Policy 3.2 establishes the goal to reduce emissions by at least 30 percent from 2013 levels by 2035. 8 Burbank, City of.

This target and goal are consistent with statewide efforts established in the Scoping Plan to reduce statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.11

BURBANK WATER AND POWER INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN
The 2019 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)12 is a long-term planning document designed to provide policy guidance for Burbank Water and Power (BWP) electric supply to its customers over the next twenty years, from 2019 through 2038. The IRP, like all long-term planning, is directional rather than determinative. In other words, the IRP helps Burbank see the broad contours of its energy future and the general direction Burbank should head to reach that future; it is not a roadmap for decision- making beyond the near-term.

COMPLETE OUR STREETS PLAN
The Citywide Complete Our Streets Plan13 aims to transform the Burbank 2035 General Plan’s goals and policies into an actionable plan for implementation. As outlined in the Citywide Complete Our Streets Plan, it aims to:
▪ Analyze and catalog existing street conditions
▪ Establish new policies, guidelines, and performance measures for street improvements Citywide
▪ Identify priority projects within Focus Areas
▪ Build better neighborhoods
▪ Create an ongoing mechanism for evaluating street improvements The plan is ultimately a guidebook for use by the City to ensure that improvements in the public right-of-way are consistent with good urban design, multi-modal mobility, and place making. The Citywide Complete Our Streets Plan is a 20-year long-range transportation plan that will need to be updated regularly between every five to ten years.

Regional Sustainability and GHG Reduction Efforts
In coordination with Los Angeles County, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the State of California, and the Federal government, the City of Burbank has committed to implementing regional and State policies related to GHG emissions reduction. As follows is a summary of the regional GHG emissions reduction efforts, which the City of Burbank GGRP Update is intended to be consistent with or exceed.

SCAG 2020-2045 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN/SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES STRATEGY SCAG adopted the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), which identifies how the southern California region would meet its GHG emission reduction targets.14 The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS is supported by a combination of transportation and 11 Burbank, City of.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority has prepared the Draft 2020 Long Range Transportation Plan to provide Los Angeles County (88 cities and unincorporated County) with a long-range, comprehensive transportation plan for identifying and resolving transportation issues.16 Transportation planning objectives and policies include improving mobility options through an equitable and sustainable approach and reducing Los Angeles County roadway congestion.

State Sustainability and GHG Reduction Efforts
As follows is a summary of the State GHG emissions reduction efforts, which the City of Burbank GGRP Update is intended to be consistent with or exceed.

CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 375
In 2008, Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) enhanced the State’s ability to reach Assembly Bill (AB) 32 targets by directing CARB to develop regional GHG emissions reduction targets to be achieved from passenger vehicles for 2020 and 2035. In addition, SB 375 directs each of the State’s 18 major Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) to prepare a sustainable community’s strategy (SCS) that contains a growth strategy to meet such regional GHG emissions reduction targets for inclusion in the respective regional transportation plan (RTP).

CALIFORNIA EXECUTIVE ORDER S-3-05
In 2005, the California governor issued Executive Order (EO) S-3-05, which identifies Statewide GHG emissions reduction targets to achieve long-term climate stabilization as follows:
▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020
▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY BILL 32
In 2006, the California legislature signed AB 32 – the Global Warming Solutions Act – into law, requiring a reduction in Statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and California Air Resources Board (CARB) preparation of a Scoping Plan that outlines the main State strategies for reducing GHGs to meet the 2020 deadline. In addition, AB 32 required CARB to adopt regulations to require reporting and verification of Statewide GHG emissions. Based on this guidance, CARB approved a 1990 Statewide GHG level and 2020 limit of 427 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e).

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE CHANGE SCOPING PLAN
In 2008, CARB approved the original California Climate Change Scoping Plan, which included measures to address GHG emission reduction strategies related to energy efficiency, water use, and 15 SCAG. 2016. 2016-2040 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy.

recycling and solid waste, among other measures. Many of the GHG reduction measures included in the Scoping Plan (e.g., Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Advanced Clean Car standards, and Cap-and- Trade) have been adopted and implemented since approval of the Scoping Plan.

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE CHANGE SCOPING PLAN UPDATE (2013)
In 2013, CARB approved the first update to the California Climate Change Scoping Plan. The 2013 Scoping Plan Update defined CARB climate change priorities for the next five years and set the groundwork to reach post-2020 Statewide GHG emissions reduction goals. The 2013 Scoping Plan Update highlighted California’s progress toward meeting the “near-term” 2020 GHG emission reduction goals defined in the original Scoping Plan. It also evaluated how to align the State’s longer-term GHG reduction strategies with other State policy priorities, including those for water, waste, natural resources, clean energy, transportation, and land use.

CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 32
In 2016, the California legislature signed Senate Bill 32 (SB 32) into law, extending AB 32 by requiring further reduction in Statewide GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (the other provisions of AB 32 remain unchanged). On December 14, 2017, CARB adopted the 2017 Scoping Plan, which provides a framework for achieving the 2030 target. The 2017 Scoping Plan relies on the continuation and expansion of existing policies and regulations, such as the Cap-and-Trade Program, as well as implementation of recently adopted policies, such as SB 350 and SB 1383 (see below).

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE CHANGE SCOPING PLAN UPDATE (2017)
In 2017, CARB approved the second update to the California Climate Change Scoping Plan. The 2017 Scoping Plan put an increased emphasis on innovation, adoption of existing technology, and strategic investment to support its strategies. As with the 2013 Scoping Plan Update, the 2017 Scoping Plan Update does not provide project-level thresholds for land use development. Instead, it recommends that local governments adopt policies and locally appropriate quantitative thresholds consistent with Statewide per-capita goals of 6 MT CO2e by 2030 and 2 MT CO2e by 2050.17 As stated in the 2017 Scoping Plan Update, these goals may be appropriate for plan-level analyses (city, county, subregional, or regional level), but not for specific individual projects, because they include all GHG emissions sectors in the State.
