In enacting this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly. The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies, which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know.

PUBLIC COMMENTS OPENED
Irma Ruport referenced an article about the new Executive Director for Contra Costa County Animal Services.

Consensus given.

PUBLIC COMMENTS CLOSED
E. City Manager Report / Department Staff
Interim City Manager Neil Gang reported the National Night Out Caravan for the Pinole Police Department would go to three different locations in the City to celebrate the event with a caravan planned on August 6, 2024. A Citywide National Night Out had been planned for October 1, 2024.

He also reported the new City website was operational at pinole.gov and he expressed his appreciation to Assistant to the City Manager Fiona Epps and her team for their hard work. The City’s new Online Permitting, Inspection and Licensing System was also now live online and new City Manager Kelcey Young would start on August 26, 2024.

In addition, the Police Chief recruitment process was ongoing with a total of 14 applications received, seven of which involved current or former Police Chiefs. Six external candidates had been selected to move forward to interviews scheduled for August 26, 2024.

Pinole City Council Regular Meeting
Minutes – August 6, 2024

Interviews would include three panels; a Community Panel, City Department Head Panel and Police Chiefs from around the state. Once finalists had been identified the City Manager would hold interviews on-site on September 5, 2024.

Public Works Director Sanjay Mishra provided an update on Public Works Operations and Activities for the month of July. There had been a total of 173 service requests; 33 for facilities, 88 for parks and 26 for roads, with one emergency call-out. The details for the service requests were highlighted. Public Works Department staff also provided assistance at various special events during the month including stormwater cleaning events for inlets. He also reported that the Public Works Department was struggling with staffing, with about 60 percent of staff currently out sick.

Mayor Toms thanked the Public Works Director for the repair work on Doidge Avenue and reported there were many grateful residents.

F. City Attorney Report: None
PUBLIC COMMENTS OPENED (Items 7D through 7F)
Irma Ruport asked the Interim City Manager/Police Chief why he was recruiting and hiring for the new Police Chief position and asked who would do the direct hiring of the new Police Chief.

Interim City Manager/Police Chief Gang reported the City Manager was the hiring authority for the Police Chief, and the new City Manager would do the hiring for the new Police Chief when she arrived.

Ms. Ruport commented the City had an Interim City Manager/Police Chief for the past six months.

She found it inappropriate for the Interim City Manager/Police Chief and the new City Manager to be the only ones hiring the new Police Chief. She objected to the process, questioned having someone new on staff who was not familiar with Pinole doing the hiring and asked the City Attorney to opine. She pointed out the City Council was elected to represent the City and had the knowledge of the City. As a long-time resident and given there had been bad practices in hiring in the past, she asked that people be vetted properly.

Mayor Toms reported a panel had reviewed applicants and there were six finalists to be interviewed by three different panels as earlier described who would provide the recommendation to the new City Manager who would interview and make that hire. The City Council directly hired the City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk. The rest of the Department Heads were hired by the City Manager.

PUBLIC COMMENTS CLOSED

Adopt Resolution per Staff Recommendation (Sanjay Mishra) Mayor Pro Tem Sasai asked that Item 9D be removed for a separate vote.

City Clerk Bell requested a revision to Item 9A, Page 35 of 128 of the agenda packet, and the first sentence of the comments made by Rafael Menis, as follows:

Rafael Menis supported the proposed half cent sales tax measure, the City needed the revenue it would raise, the protections state law required limited it from being applied to regressive categories, such as food and medicine, making it a less regressive tax and given the relative popularity of the tax as compared to others based on the City’s survey data, made it the best choice for the City at this time.

Council member Martinez-Rubin requested Item 9C be removed for discussion.

PUBLIC COMMENTS OPENED
City Clerk Bell reported there were no comments from the public.

PUBLIC COMMENTS CLOSED
ACTION: Motion by Council member Tave/Mayor Pro Tem Sasai to adopt Items 9A, as amended and Items 9B and 9E, as shown.

Vote: Passed 4-0-1
Ayes: Toms, Sasai, Martinez-Rubin, Tave
Noes: None
Abstain: None

Absent: Murphy
Referring to Item 9D, Council member Tave explained he removed the item to ask that it be tabled to allow the new City Manager to review the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) in its entirety and the costs related to Item 9D. He had spoken with the Public Works Director about tabling the item and the potential impacts on projects moving forward. He asked the Public Works Director to opine on tabling the item.

Public Works Director Mishra detailed the architectural services contract the City had procured through the Request for Proposal (RFP) process as part of Item 9D. If the City Council decided to hold off on the item for a couple of weeks he did not see that as a concern.

Council member Tave emphasized he would like to see the item be tabled, as discussed.

Mayor Toms asked the Public Works Director how long the quote for the scope of work for Item 9D would be valid.

Public Works Director Mishra advised the quote was valid for 120-days from the time of the bid.

PUBLIC COMMENTS OPENED
Rafael Menis referenced Page 92 of 128 of the agenda packet and the details for the construction cost estimate, which read in part: The current estimates appear to cover only 70-80% of the market cost for the roof areas the City wants to replace. He asked whether there were sufficient funds set aside for the full project cost not just the construction costs.

Irma Ruport asked that Item 9D be continued to a future meeting given that the review and analysis in the report was incomplete. A total of six proposals had been received in response to the RFP on May 21, 2024, and had been evaluated with three proposals shortlisted. The top ranked proposal involved an interview by City staff based on the scope of the RFP. The proposal from Interactive Resources, Inc. was in the amount of $270,555. She asked why all three candidate proposals had not been interviewed, why all three had not been listed in the resolution as done with prior resolutions, who on staff had interviewed the consultant and whether staff had done enough follow-up and background history with the consultant. Based on her own research, she had learned on June 19, 2018 that the City executed a contract with Interactive Resources, Inc. for $100,000 to design improvements required for the Faria House to serve as a public museum and had consulted with staff and representatives from the Pinole History Museum to create the building programs with an estimate for construction costs in January 2020 at $1.4 million.

Pinole City Council Regular Meeting
Minutes – August 6, 2024

Ms. Ruport noted the contract for the project had been approved by the five Council members at the time and no RFP had been distributed, and there had been only four informal emails involved when one consultant had been chosen, Interactive Resources Inc. In that case, the City paid the cost but the project had been shelved since the City did not have any money. She expressed concern the current RFP process had repeated itself with the same past procedures and had not followed the RFP rules. She asked that Item 9D be continued until the new City Manager was on board, the item was not time sensitive and the City needed to do better following the rules and guidelines to ensure all information was given to the public who would be paying for the project.

Ms. Ruport was concerned the City was repeating bad hiring practices by hiring former bad consultants with no accounting or records. She added every time she requested records the City did not have them. She stated she would be making a Public Records Act (PRA) request in this instance.

PUBLIC COMMENTS CLOSED
ACTION: Motion by Council members Tave/Mayor Toms to continue Item 9D until the new City Manager had the chance to review.

Vote: Passed 3-0-2
Ayes: Toms, Martinez-Rubin, Tave
Noes: None
Abstain: Sasai

Absent: Murphy

10. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Conduct Public Hearing and Adopt a Resolution Confirming the Assessments and Ordering the Levy for the Pinole Valley Road Landscape and Lighting Assessment District (LLAD) for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. Action: Conduct Public Hearing and Adopt Resolution per Staff Recommendation (Sanjay Mishra) Public Works Director Mishra provided a brief PowerPoint presentation on the Pinole Valley Road Landscape and Lighting Assessment District public hearing process and highlighted the Assessment Report for Fiscal Year 2024/25, which included a correction to the Total Assessable Costs for Zones A and B.

Public Works Director Mishra recommended the City Council adopt a resolution confirming the assessment and diagram as described in the Annual Assessment Report, levying an assessment for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025, and ordering the City Engineer to prepare and submit the assessments to the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office for placement onto the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 secured property tax roll.

Council member Martinez-Rubin asked about the reference to maintenance of “one and a half traffic signals” on Pinole Valley Road, to which Public Works Director Mishra explained that a portion of the cost had been assigned to Zone A and the other to Zone B, and was not a separation of one and a half traffic signals.

Rafael Menis reported on the COVID-19 rate in the community, local sewer water sheds and hospitalization rates with an overall rate of 17 per 100,000 in terms of viral activity levels. He continued to encourage people to wear masks in high risk crowded indoor areas, take precautions as necessary and get booster shots. He also wished Council member Murphy a Happy Birthday and praised his work on the City Council over the last few years including having played a significant role in reopening Fire Station 74, ensuring the City had gone through many of the core strategic planning processes, working to ensure the City had a proper economic development process and ensure there was greater public communication, outreach and community engagement through various tools. He thanked Council member Murphy for his work to engage the community and his continued work on the City Council.

Anthony Vossbrink reported the presentation provided by the Public Works Director for Item 10A was not clearly audible and the text not clearly visible and he asked that those issues be corrected for future presentations. He otherwise noted there remained a number of street light issues in the community including street light outages along Pinole Valley Road, San Pablo Avenue and a third of the public parking lot lights were inoperable creating a safety hazard. He asked that the different parking lots in the City be reviewed prior to waiting for the new City Manager to come on board. Also, two large directional lights on the I-80 overpass were inoperable and green recyclable trash cans in the barbeque grove and dog park remained to be installed.

Staff recommends that the City Council consider approving the letter of concern regarding the proposed Scotts Valley Mega Casino and Tribal Housing Project in Solono County.

BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting on August 6, 2024, Mayor Toms requested a future agenda item for the City Council to approve a letter to send to the Bureau of Indian Affairs by August 22, 2024.

A sample letter of concern is included as an attachment to this staff report for the City Council's review and consideration. The letter provides comment and expresses concern regarding the Environmental Assessment (EA) document review process as well as potential regional and socio-economical impacts of the project.

Also included as an attachment is a similar letter of concern regarding the project that was sent by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to the Department of the Interior for additional reference.

Should the City Council approve the letter of concern, staff will facilitate signature by the Mayor and the letter will be sent to the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Pacific Regional Office of the Bureau of the Indian Affairs with a copy to Senators Padilla and Butler, Representative John Garamendi and the San Pablo City Council.

RE: CONCERNS REGARDING THE PROPOSED SCOTTS VALLEY MEGA CASINO AND

TRIBAL HOUSING PROJECT IN SOLANO COUNTY, VALLEJO, CA
Dear Secretary Haaland:

Please allow this letter to serve as a letter of comment and concern regarding the current Environmental Assessment (EA) document circulated on July 8, 2024 by the US Department of Interior / Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) officials to address the environmental impacts associated with the above mega Casino project, located in Solano County, City of Vallejo, CA under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

The City/County of _____________urges (BIA) officials to not expedite its public review of the current EA document without fully addressing and evaluating all significant environmental impacts of the proposed mega Casino project under an appropriate Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under NEPA for the proposed project.

The City/County of _________, CA supports comments previously submitted by the City of San Pablo, CA on July 22, 2024 to BIA officials in addition to other comments expressed to BIA officials to date on their grave concerns over the lack of a full, comprehensive review of all associated environmental, socio-economic and environmental justice impacts associated with this proposed project in the EA document.

Since 1999, San Pablo has been the host community for the San Pablo Lytton Casino, owned and operated by the Lytton Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, in West Contra Costa County which is located 16-miles from the proposed project site along the I-80 freeway corridor. The City of San Pablo and San Pablo Lytton Casino stem to lose significant annual Casino funds (i.e. -20% annual

reduction) which will pose a significant socio-economic and environmental justice impacts to this low-income and socio-disadvantaged community in West Contra Costa County region.

San Pablo’s current program and service delivery of local municipal services is at critical stake to its local residents, and surrounding local communities, which are directly impacted by this proposed mega Casino project, with a corresponding projected loss of $8-$10M annually to occur to the City’s General Fund Operating Budget through an existing Municipal Services Agreement between the City of San Pablo and Lytton Tribe. Our City/County of ________echoes these concerns as we support City and County regional partnerships and services with the City of San Pablo which are mutually and jointly funded between several local municipalities and Contra Costa County across the West Contra Costa County region.

In closing, the City/County of _________urges BIA officials to carefully evaluate all significant, adverse socio-economic and environmental impacts under a comprehensive, and meaningful engagement process under NEPA, with all members of the public, stakeholders and other Tribes and local communities who will be directly impacted by this newly proposed, mega Casino project.

Furthermore, we hereby request that US Department of Interior and BIA officials to take the time to hear from all affected parties, and avoid from making any expedited final determinations or lasting detrimental impacts which would be precedential, and potentially ushering in a new era of diminished scrutiny of the regulatory process that circumvents proper consultation with affected local Tribes and communities on mega Casino projects in the Bay Area region.

Thank you for the opportunity to voice these concerns and comments on the NEPA environmental review process to date.

Dear Secretary Haaland:

Contra Costa County urges BIA officials to not expedite its public review of the current EA document without fully addressing and evaluating all significant environmental impacts of the proposed mega Casino project under an appropriate Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under NEPA for the proposed project.

Contra Costa County supports comments previously submitted by the City of San Pablo, CA on July 22, 2024 to BIA officials in addition to other comments expressed to BIA officials to date on their grave concerns over the lack of a full, comprehensive review of all associated environmental, socio-economic and environmental justice impacts associated with this proposed project in the EA document.

San Pablo’s current program and service delivery of local municipal services is at stake to its local residents, and surrounding local communities, which are directly impacted by this proposed mega Casino project, with a corresponding projected loss of $8-$10M annually to occur to the City’s General Fund Operating Budget through an existing Municipal Services Agreement between the City of San Pablo and Lytton Tribe. We echo these concerns as we support City and County regional partnerships and services with the City of San Pablo which are mutually and jointly funded between several local municipalities and Contra Costa County across the West Contra Costa County region.

In closing, Contra Costa County urges BIA officials to carefully evaluate all significant, adverse socio-economic and environmental impacts under a comprehensive, and meaningful engagement process under NEPA, with all members of the public, stakeholders and other Tribes and local communities who will be directly impacted by this newly proposed, mega Casino project.

Furthermore, we hereby request that US Department of Interior and BIA officials to take the time to hear from all affected parties and avoid from making any expedited final determinations or lasting detrimental impacts which would be precedential, and potentially ushering in a new era of diminished scrutiny of the regulatory process that circumvents proper consultation with affected local Tribes and communities on mega Casino projects in the Bay Area region.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 9.D.

DATE: AUGUST 20, 2024
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: LILLY WHALEN, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ISSUE LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE CITY OF PINOLE AND RICHMOND COMMUNITY FOUNDATION’S APPLICATION TO THE PARTNERSHIP FOR THE BAY'S FUTURE POLICY FUND GRANT (COHORT 3)

RECOMMENDATION
Issue a letter of support for the City of Pinole and Richmond Community Foundation’s (RCF) application to PBF’s Policy Fund Cohort 3.

BACKGROUND
The Partnership for the Bay's Future (PBF) is a collaborative initiative involving philanthropic, private, nonprofit, and public sectors, along with community and faith-based leaders, housing experts, elected officials, and residents. PBF aims to protect current affordable housing residents and to preserve and produce additional affordable housing in the Bay Area, focusing on racial equity and economic inclusion.

The Policy Fund, managed by the San Francisco Foundation, aims to improve local policy and address housing needs. It places fellows in local governments to enhance expertise and foster collaboration, develops partnerships to advocate for effective housing policies, and provides technical support and models for other regions.

PBF has announced a Request for Proposals for Cohort 3 of the Policy Fund (Attachment A).

This grant offers two years of capacity building, community engagement, and tailored technical assistance to jurisdictions in several Bay Area counties. Selected jurisdictions will receive inkind support from a full-time PBF fellow and funding for community partners. A letter of support from a local government’s Mayor or Councilmember is required with the application. The deadline is August 30, 2024.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
This report requests that the City Council issue a letter of support (Attachment B) for the City of Pinole and the Richmond Community Foundation’s (RCF) application to the Partnership for the Bay's Future (PBF) Policy Fund. The RCF is a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to create and support systems built on equity and justice, free from racism, bias and discrimination. RCF achieves this through connection and collaboration with community partners, residents and local governments to identify and address community issues that maintain inequities and share information and resources to increase access to opportunities.

The proposed project’s application to the PBF Policy Fund aims to implement key programs from the City’s adopted and certified Housing Element. The proposed project involves using a social impact bond model to rehabilitate abandoned and blighted homes, promote first-time homeownership, provide affordable housing options, engage local BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) contractors and real estate agents, and revitalize neighborhoods. This initiative, supported by a PBF Fellow and the RCF, aims to implement Housing Element Programs 17, 16, and 7, and enhance the City’s existing Rental Registry Program.

The primary goals of the work are to rehabilitate abandoned and blighted homes, create modern and energy-efficient homes, and promote first-time homeownership. The proposed project will be funded using a social impact bond model to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of these homes. Additionally, the proposed project aims to provide opportunities for affordable homeownership, engage local BIPOC contractors and real estate agents, and revitalize neighborhoods. The renovated homes will be modern, energy-efficient, safe, and healthy, making them attractive options for first-time homebuyers. Engaging local BIPOC contractors and real estate agents will boost the local economy and promote inclusion.

Ultimately, this initiative aims to revitalize neighborhoods, improving both safety and property values. The proposed project also seeks to develop a policy for the City’s use of limited affordable housing funds, establish systems to ensure rentals are properly licensed and regularly inspected, and enhance the City's understanding of its rental stock.

The proposed project aligns with several key programs in the City’s Housing Element:
• Housing Element Program 17: Focuses on acquiring and rehabilitating blighted or distressed properties to make them available to low-income households as affordable housing. This project will pursue partnerships with local BIPOC contractors and utilize the social impact bond model for financing.
• Housing Element Program 16: Seeks to reinstate the City’s Rehabilitation Assistance Program by exploring local, state, and federal funding opportunities annually. This project will align with these goals by seeking funding to reinstate the City’s Rehabilitation Assistance Program.
• Housing Element Program 7: Aims to develop a policy that prioritizes the use of affordable housing funds in alignment with RHNA requirements, local housing needs, and fair housing objectives. This includes creating affordable housing in highopportunity areas, waiving park impact fees for affordable units, and potentially introducing an in-lieu fee alternative for inclusionary housing requirements. Part of the work under the PBF’s Grant Policy will incorporate these priorities.

Additionally, staff has identified that the City would benefit from a comprehensive system to monitor and track rental properties to both ensure that rentals are properly licensed and regularly inspected and provide the city with further understanding of its rental stock. This includes creating a rental property registry and inventory of at-risk units, implementing landlord licensing and local eviction tracking, acquiring software for rental registration, training staff, marketing the program, and outsourcing inspection services to meet increased demand. Part of the work done under the PBF’s Grant Policy will support these objectives by ensuring compliance with health and safety standards and enhancing the City’s understanding of its rental stock.

In terms of alignment with city goals, the project supports the implementation of the 2023-2031 Housing Element, addressing the city’s affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization objectives. It strengthens policies for the use of housing funds to meet local needs and ensures comprehensive monitoring and compliance in rental properties. The project will also support first-time homebuyers and provide much-needed affordable housing opportunities.

The RCF has successfully implemented this social impact bond model in the City of Richmond (see case study on the RCF’s pilot project from the EPA- Attachment C) and is excited to work with the City and the PBF to implement these important programs in Pinole.

FISCAL IMPACT
Issuing a letter of support for the City and RCF’s application to PBF’s Policy Fund does not have a fiscal impact.

Awardees are expected to be announced in November 2024, with the work launching in January 2025. If selected as an awardee, the City would commit to the following:
• Designate a staff member to supervise the PBF Fellow for the two-year grant period, providing onboarding, performance feedback, daily guidance, and ensuring the Fellow has an onsite workspace with access to necessary systems and tools. • Ensure staff attend regular PBF meetings, including one in-person meeting and one virtual Government Partner meeting per quarter.
• Collaborate closely with the Community Partner, participating in regular site team meetings.
• Commit to fully implementing policies beyond the two-year grant period, if applicable. • Share key information (updates, briefings, reports) with the Policy Fund and work with the Policy Fund evaluation team to measure outcomes.

If selected as an awardee, the RCF would commit to do the following:
• Designate a staff member to support and guide the PBF Fellow during the two-year grant period, providing guidance, orientation, introductions, and access to key stakeholders.
• Ensure staff attend one in-person convening and one virtual Community Partner meeting per quarter.
• Collaborate closely with the Government Partner, participating in regular site team meetings.
• Support the implementation of policies beyond the two-year grant period, if applicable. • Share key information (updates, briefings, reports) with the Policy Fund and work with the Policy Fund evaluation team to measure outcomes.

The Partnership for the Bay’s Future helps make homes more affordable across the Bay Area with a unique dual approach: in collaboration with partners, we 1) work to advance policy changes that protect residents and improve affordability, and 2) invest in building new and rehabilitating existing affordable homes – always through a lens of racial equity and economic inclusion. We bring this two-pronged strategy to life through the
• Policy Fund, which supports policy solutions to stem the tide of displacement, and preserve and produce housing, and
• Family of Loan Funds, which increases housing supply through responsive and creative financing.

The Policy Fund is the key policy arm of the Partnership for the Bay’s Future and recognizes that bold policy change is needed to address our housing shortage and affordability challenges.

Managed by the San Francisco Foundation, the Policy Fund builds the capacity and networks required for equitable local policy change by working with community groups to help them bring the voices of renters, low-income residents, and people of color into the local and regional policy process and by helping local governments create and successfully implement policies that enable more Bay Area residents to remain in their communities.

The Policy Fund administers grant programs that are designed to:
• Increase racial and economic equity across the region by increasing affordable housing production, preserving existing affordable housing, and stemming displacement of people of color and other marginalized communities from across the Bay Area • Develop a robust regional network and a community of practice made up of housing advocates in local government and community-based organizations • Support the rise of new government and community leaders that can support the region’s housing and tenant protection efforts long-term • Provide models for change that inspire other local governments to follow suit • Connect with aligned change efforts across the region that amplify impact What Is Partnership for the Bay's Future?
3 Policy Fund
baysfuture.org

The Family of Loan Funds, one
of the nation’s largest-ever
private-sector housing funds,
supports the production and
preservation of affordable
homes in five Bay Area
counties. Managed by the
Local Initiatives Support
Corporation (LISC), these funds
are designed to address the
lack of affordable homes – a
reality that disproportionately
impacts households of color –
by bridging funding gaps
throughout the region’s rental
housing market.
4 Family of Loan Funds
PBF is launching the 3rd round of the Policy Fund Grant, a program to bring together Bay Area local governments and catalyze policy innovation in tenant protection as well as building and preserving affordable housing in local communities. The Policy Fund will select a cohort of site teams that propose the highest-impact, yet realistically achievable policy plans, from development to implementation, to be a part of the cohort.

The cohort will be made up of local site teams working collaboratively to advance housing production, preservation, and protection policy across the Bay Area. A site team will consist of local government staff (Government Partners) who work closely with their PBF Fellow and a local community partner organization (Community Partner). This "inside-outside" partnership ensures community input and support for local policy research, development, and implementation and provides essential capacity to move the work forward.

What Are the Policy Fund Grants?
baysfuture.org

Within the two-year grant period, each of the Policy Fund Grant site teams will receive two years of capacity building, community engagement, and tailored technical assistance support from the Policy Fund. After the grant period, participants will become part of the Policy Fund alumni program, and continue to have access to the Partnership network and other supports.

Chosen jurisdictions will be expected to pass and/or implement a package of affordable housing production, protection and preservation policies in collaboration with their community partners.

If your jurisdiction is interested in applying and is not sure who might be a suitable community partner, contact the Policy Fund to discuss options.

The Policy Fund Grants are designed to have a transformative effect on how local governments approach housing through community-driven policy. Through increased capacity and tailored technical assistance, these grants will support breakthroughs in local housing initiatives by moving local policies forward.

Over a two-year time frame, Policy Fund sites will receive a capacity building and technical assistance package to pass and implement production, preservation, and protection policies. The package will include:
• A full-time PBF Fellow placed in the local government’s office dedicated to moving Policy Fund Grant work forward. The fellow also serves as a liaison between the local government and the community partner.
• Funding and support for community partners to work in partnership with the local government by helping in developing and building community support for the proposed policies. Community Partners ensure that community voice is part of the policy process and will receive grants from the Policy Fund.
• Peer cohorts that meet regularly throughout the grant period to exchange ideas and problem-solve in real time. These meetings will include training and leadership development for PBF Fellows, Community Partners, and Government Partners. • Access to tailored technical assistance, including technical assistance funds, to boost capacity in areas such as messaging and communications, data analysis, polling and public opinion, and policy and budget strategy, as well as technical analyses needed to inform policy development or implementation.
4 Why Apply?
baysfuture.org 5

Policy Grants are open to local governments (towns, cities, and counties) that are currently experiencing—or at risk of experiencing—displacement or exclusion of low-income people and communities of color. The Policy Fund will accept applications from local governments in the following counties:
• Alameda
• Contra Costa
• Marin
• San Francisco
• San Mateo
• Santa Clara
6 Who Is Eligible to Apply?
Successful applications will explain how the local government will adopt and/or implement its proposed policy package to advance tenant protection, homelessness prevention, affordable housing production and preservation in collaboration with a chosen Community Partner. See below for a list of potential policy projects.

Site teams that have previously received a Policy Fund Grant are eligible to apply.

The Policy Fund is offering support to site teams
who need support in developing their proposals.

7 Past Grantee Policy Projects
You may find it helpful to review previous site teams’ policy collaborations to get a sense of what makes a compelling project.

Additionally, we have found over the course of two cohorts that the successful site teams show the following characteristics:
• Government Partners are prepared to supervise and empower the PBF Fellow to bring community voice into the policy process
• Government Partners and Community Partners build trusting, authentic relationships by learning from each other and meeting regularly
• The proposed policies are a high priority for the whole team and the team is prepared to adapt to changing circumstances together
• Each team member is supportive of each other’s role and power, and ready to leverage each other’s strengths to advance policy goals
Selected Government Partners commit to:
• Designate a staff member to supervise the PBF Fellow for the two-year grant period, providing onboarding, performance feedback, daily guidance, and ensuring the Fellow has an onsite workspace with access to necessary systems and tools. • Ensure staff attend regular PBF meetings, including one in-person meeting and one virtual Government Partner meeting per quarter.
• Collaborate closely with the Community Partner, participating in regular site team meetings.
• Commit to fully implementing policies beyond the two-year grant period, if applicable. • Share key information (updates, briefings, reports) with the Policy Fund and work with the Policy Fund evaluation team to measure outcomes.

8 Selected Community Partners commit to:
• Designate a staff member to support and guide the PBF Fellow during the two-year grant period, providing guidance, orientation, introductions, and access to key stakeholders. • Ensure staff attend one in-person convening and one virtual Community Partner meeting per quarter.
• Collaborate closely with the Government Partner, participating in regular site team meetings.
• Support the implementation of policies beyond the two-year grant period, if applicable. • Share key information (updates, briefings, reports) with the Policy Fund and work with the Policy Fund evaluation team to measure outcomes.
baysfuture.org

The Policy Fund will evaluate applications based on the following criteria:

1. Proposed policy solutions backed by community engagement that advance racial and economic equity and facilitate innovative approaches. Successful applications will identify the displacement and exclusion impacts within your local government and propose policy changes that address affordable housing production, tenant protection and/or preservation. Applicant local governments will need to identify a strong community organization to serve as lead partner in community engagement and share a strong community partnership plan. Proposed policy should be grounded in what is most strategic and impactful for your local government.

2. Foster an enabling environment for equitable production, preservation and tenant protection wins. The Policy Fund recognizes that policy change does not occur overnight. While an ideal outcome would include the passage and implementation of new affordable housing production, tenant protection and preservation policies, mapping out and taking significant strides to facilitate longer-term policy goals are also acceptable.

3. Develop and share scalable workplans and outcomes for significant impact. Proposals should demonstrate high impact in producing and preserving affordable housing. The selection committee will also give strong consideration to applications that propose innovative policies that have yet to be tested, but show great promise, or groundbreaking policies that catalyze change in a local government with few to no affordable housing production or preservation policies.

4. Facilitate a robust regional network of housing justice champions in local government and community-based organizations. The Policy Grants are geared towards local governments with the willingness to engage deeply with community to develop policy solutions that meet local needs.

Strong applicants will also have capacity and interest in engaging in regional efforts. Applicant site teams will need to identify a strong community-based organization to serve as lead partner in community engagement and share a strong community partnership plan. This group may have even had a contentious relationship with the lead local government agency in the past but remains wellpositioned to empower local communities and shape the policy-making process. Local governments may select more than one community partner to advance community engagement work.

5. Demonstrate buy-in for the core values and approach of PBF. Both government and community partners must demonstrate understanding and commitment to engaging community in the policy process, and an interest in utilizing an inside/outside strategy to accomplish policy goals. All institutions engaged in your site team are committed to advancing the shared goals even if contexts change.

6. Ability to be an active participant in the PBF network. Proposals should demonstrate a commitment to being active members of the PBF network, including attending quarterly convenings.

Applications should ensure strong institutional and individual buy-in from both Government Partners and Community Partners. Toform maximize impact, applicants should also indicate interest and ability to supervise and support the PBF Fellow.

Partnership for the Bay’s Future
2075 Broadway St,
Redwood City, California, 94063
Re: City of Pinole: Partnership for the Bay’s Future Policy Fund – Letter of Support Dear Partnership for the Bay’s Future Policy Fund Review Committee, I am writing on behalf of the City of Pinole in support of our application to the Partnership for the Bay’s Future Policy Fund Grant Program Cohort 3. The City of Pinole is deeply committed to addressing the pressing need for affordable housing within our community while ensuring that our efforts align with principles of racial equity and economic inclusion. We believe that our proposed project embodies these values and will contribute significantly to the well-being of our residents.

The City of Pinole’s proposed initiative aims to issue a municipal bond to support the purchase, renovation, and sale of single-family homes, specifically targeting first-time homebuyers. This project will not only help increase the housing stock in our city but also improve public safety by focusing on properties that currently fall out of code. Additionally, the renovation of these homes will be conducted with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability, incorporating green technologies to reduce the carbon footprint and promote long-term environmental benefits.

A crucial element of our proposal is our partnership with the Richmond Community Foundation.

This nonprofit organization brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success in managing similar programs throughout the Bay Area. Their expertise and dedication to community development make them an ideal partner for this initiative, ensuring that the project will be managed effectively and deliver the intended benefits to our community.

Through this project, we aim to make homeownership more accessible for first-time buyers in Pinole, create safer and more sustainable living environments, and address the broader challenges of housing affordability and equity in the Bay Area. The Partnership for the Bay’s Future Policy Fund’s support will be instrumental in helping us realize these goals.

We are confident that the City of Pinole’s proposed project aligns closely with the mission of the Partnership for the Bay’s Future and will serve as a model for other communities striving to address similar challenges.

A Unique Approach to Brownfield Revitalization
Leveraging private capital for social good
The City of Richmond, California and the Richmond Community Foundation (RCF Connects) developed a unique approach to address significant challenges with blighted properties and barriers to local home ownership. The city and RCF Connects established a new social impact bond that uses private capital to fund the rehabilitation of abandoned properties in the Richmond area. In addition, the city and RCF Connects leveraged EPA Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup grants to address some of the city’s most challenging residential properties. Since the project began in 2015, RCF Connects has rehabilitated and sold dozens of affordable homes to first time homebuyers, facilitated millions of dollars of local spending, and attracted new investments to continue the organization’s housing work. This case study shares the city’s and RCF Connects’ approach and suggests how other communities can replicate their efforts.

Social Impact Bond
A social impact bond
is a financial mechanism
where the private sector
provides investment funds to
the public sector for social
benefit. Well-performing social
impact bonds are attractive
to local banks because of
Community Reinvestment
Act requirements.

A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Set Up a Social Impact Bond-Funded Revitalization Program 1 Establish a
city ordinance
that outlines
the social
impact bond’s
parameters.

A formalized
ordinance will
guide the actions
of all partners
involved and
establish a legal
connection
between the
organization and
the city.

funding.

Supplementing
social impact
bond funds with
additional financial

Creating a Structure for Success
Establish a clear ordinance and build on city partnerships RCF Connects established a strong framework for their
rehabilitation projects by working with the city to issue a social impact bond through a city ordinance. The ordinance and the associated Memorandum of Understanding set financial and social metrics for the work and defined each partner’s role. In addition, they established a common vision for RCF Connects, the city, and the bond’s investor (locally-based Mechanics Bank). The ordinance also guaranteed that the city would not be liable for the bonds.

Before After

New homeowners Anthony Caro and Mitzi Perez-Caro
“I’m a homegrown educator, and I
honestly didn’t think buying a home in
Richmond was feasible. This program
shifted my thinking.”
– Mitzi Perez-Caro
The long-standing relationship between RCF Connects and the city, developed through years of partnering on community development efforts, provided the foundation for this
collaboration. Through partnering on the social impact bond, both entities leveraged their strengths for mutual benefits and success.

The city can now expedite review of construction permits on social impact bond-funded properties. RCF Connects can obtain access to properties with liens from the city. These are just two examples of how the social impact bond has made addressing pervasive blight more efficient, resulting in the rehabilitation of homes, as well as increases in tax revenue and related benefits.

Improving Neighborhoods,
One Property at a Time
Blighted brownfield properties become community assets
RCF Connects focused on properties that developers and
homebuyers considered too risky, including properties with significant environmental challenges and those in the court system for tax delinquency and probate. Social impact bond funds allowed RCF Connects to access many blighted homes in the Richmond area. Before acquiring a potentially contaminated property, RCF Connects conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment or All Appropriate Inquiries. Some properties required additional assessment and cleanup due to historic contamination. After RCF Connects identified certain properties as “brownfields,” they worked with EPA and the city to use EPA Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup funding. This additional grant funding allowed RCF Connects to tackle some of the most environmentally challenging properties in the city. In this sense, EPA became another important partner—helping to ensure RCF Connects’ renovated properties were safe for new homeowners.

Local Spending, Local Impacts
Supporting community development by promoting
economic activity
The results of the social impact bond partnership between RCF Connects and the city are tremendous. Their efforts produced considerable financial benefits for the community, including:

Over $6.5M in local spending
Reduction of the city’s code enforcement
costs by $350,000 per year
Repayment of nearly $800,000 in code
enforcement liens and property taxes
An annual increase of over
$90,000 in property tax revenue
An estimated $697,000 per year to the
local economy from new homeowners

Prioritizing Equitable Development
Eco-friendly homes that build community wealth
RCF Connects prioritized sustainability and equity in
their rehabilitation work to ensure people could
buy, afford, and maintain renovated homes.

In partnership with the California Energy
Commission, RCF Connects used state climate
change mitigation funding to purchase energyefficient appliances and make other environmentally conscious improvements to their homes. By partnering with EPA and using EPA Brownfields grants, RCF Connects also ensured the finished homes were contaminant-free.

Additionally, RCF Connects worked with SparkPoint Contra Costa, a local financial services collaborative partnership that helps individuals build a financially secure future. RCF Connects prioritized selling rehabilitated homes to graduates of SparkPoint Contra Costa’s homebuyer program, connecting buyers with the program’s newly renovated and energy efficient properties. RCF Connects also ensured the homes sold through their program would be lien-free, allowing homeowners to accrue value on their property and build wealth for themselves and their community.

Building Momentum, Building Wealth
Expand a successful program with new investments
The combination of pairing the city’s social impact
bond investments with EPA Brownfields grantfunded work has highlighted a new way to locally finance challenging redevelopment projects.

Mechanics Bank was motivated to become the
social impact bond’s initial investor because it helped them meet federal Community Reinvestment Act requirements.

However, the compelling results of the social impact bond has led Mechanics Bank to extend their investment for another five years.

RCF Connects’ success has also attracted investment interest from new sources. Most recently, a group of donors contacted RCF Connects to build a Black homeownership fund. This fund will help members of the Black community purchase homes by providing up to $15,000 for down payment assistance or to cover closing costs. The loan is only repaid when the home is sold or the mortgage is refinanced.

Community Reinvestment Act
The Community Reinvestment Act encourages
financial institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they work. The Act gives
the financial institution incentive to balance the risks it undertakes as a social impact bond investor.

“The [social impact bond] program can make a huge difference for a local community. It is mutually beneficial to the cities it supports and the banks that provide the financing. In my opinion, there are few direct investment opportunities for a bank that can be as impactful as a social impact bond.”
– CJ Johnson, Partner, Ford Financial Fund (Majority Owner of Mechanics Bank) Lessons Learned
Relationships matter—Establish partnerships with city government staff and the community Cultivate champions. Advocate for those within city government who will coordinate across city departments to shepherd the ordinance through the system, make sure the bond is issued, and recommend other potential government resources such as grants.

Build connections. Interface with other relevant partners that will interact with the bond and the social impact bond program. Examples include county tax collectors/treasurers, probate court judges, investors, neighborhood organizations, insurance groups, and realtors.

Engage the community. Community members are a great resource for spreading the word about the program and demonstrating support to decision-makers, such as investors and city officials. Neighborhood councils can also help identify properties that need revitalization.

Metrics count—Develop a well-defined program vision and measure results Stay on track. Identifying metrics for success will provide vital guidance for project work. RCF Connects’ metrics include financial return on investment, improvement in community policing and safety, and the number of first-time homeowners who purchased renovated homes.

Measure return on investment. Tracking investment growth over time helped RCF Connects determine how much money to invest in individual properties. Keeping a record of the program’s impacts on the community also gives investors an idea of how their money makes a difference and increases the likelihood of reinvestment.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 10.A.

DATE: AUGUST 20, 2024
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: DAVID HANHAM, PLANNING MANAGER
SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF ENTITLEMENTS FOR PINOLE VISTA PROJECT 223-UNITS 1500 FITZGERALD, ROIC DEVELOPMENT

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing and adopt Resolution to extend the entitlements approved in Resolution 22-96 for the Pinole Vista Apartment Complex at 1500 Fitzgerald Drive (APN 426-391-010) through October 18, 2026.

BACKGROUND
The property at 1500 Fitzgerald Drive is a vacant commercial retail building, previously occupied by Kmart and owned by ROIC Pinole Vista LLC. It has been empty since early 2019, with occasional seasonal uses like the Halloween Spirit store. The site is bordered by Fitzgerald Drive to the north, residential areas in El Sobrante to the south, Pinole Shopping Center to the east, and Best Buy (Pinole Vista II) to the west. Tenants of the Pinole Vista Shopping Center include Mountain Mike’s Pizza, Lucky’s Supermarket, Starbucks, and others.

Refer to Figure 1 for an aerial view and Figure 2 for the proposed project layout.

Figure 1: Project Location Figure 2: Proposed Project Layout The project involves demolishing a 91,000-square-foot vacant retail building (formerly Kmart) at 1500

Fitzgerald Drive and constructing a five-story, 263,862-square-foot apartment building with 223 units.

Approved by the Council on October 18, 2022 (see Attachment B for Resolution 2022-96), the project includes 13 very-low-income units, 14 low-income units, and 196 market-rate units, complying with the City’s inclusionary housing requirements (PMC 17.32.020). The new building will have the same orientation as the former Kmart, with main entrances facing the existing shopping center. The front façade will feature 90- degree parking stalls instead of the original 45-degree layout. The rear of the building will include an additional row of parking and three entrances connecting to the front lobbies. The sides will have added landscaping, and a new passive open space will be created on the southern end. Landscaping will also be added to the front elevation and within the two parking rows. Refer to Figure 2 for the approved project layout, Attachment C for the full project overview, and Table 1 and Table 2 for application details and project milestones.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Framework for Extension
The Municipal Code provides a process for the expiration of entitlements. Section 17.10.100 (A) of the Pinole Municipal Code (PMC) states: Unless a condition of approval or other provision of this title establishes a different time limit, any permit not exercised within one (1) year of approval shall expire and become void, except where an extension of time is approved in compliance with division C. below.

Condition No. 6 in City Council Resolution No. 2022-96 (Attachment B) provides two (2) years for the applicant to "exercise" the entitlement. With a City Council approval date of October 18, 2022, the Pinole Vista entitlements will expire on October 18, 2024, unless the permit is “exercised,” or an extension was requested and granted, by that date.

Section 17.10.100 (B) of the PMC provides information on what it means for a permit to be "exercised:" The exercise of a permit occurs when the property owner has performed substantial work and incurred substantial liabilities in good faith reliance upon such permit(s). A permit may be otherwise exercised pursuant to a condition of the permit or corresponding legal agreement that specifies that other substantial efforts or expenditures constitutes exercise of the permit.

For the Pinole Vista Apartment project, condition No. 6 in Resolution No. 2022-96 indicates that "entitlements shall be considered exercised when a Building Permit is issued for the apartment structure." A building permit for the apartment structure has not been applied for. Therefore, the entitlements granted on October 18, 2022 have not yet been exercised, and an extension is required in order to keep the permits valid.

Section 17.10.100 (C) of the PMC states: The approval of an extension extends the expiration date for two (2) years from the original permit date. After this initial permit extension, a final one (1)-year extension of time may be granted pursuant to the same process as set forth in this section.

The applicants of the Pinole Vista Apartment project have requested an initial permit extension of two-years, through October 18, 2026, to exercise their entitlements (i.e., Building Permit is issued).

Section 17.10.100 (C) of the PMC provides information regarding the process of extending

entitlements:

1. Process. The same approving authority that granted the original permit may extend the period within which the exercise of a permit must occur. Notice and/or public hearing shall be provided in the same manner as for the original permit. An application for extension shall be filed not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the permit, along with appropriate fees and application submittal materials.

2. Conditions. The permit, as extended, may be conditioned to comply with any development standards that may have been enacted since the permit was initially approved.

3. Permit extension findings. The extension may be granted only when the designated approving authority finds that the original permit findings can be made and there are no changed circumstances or there has been diligent pursuit to exercise the permit that warrants such extension.

The process for an extension requires that the review authority for an extension request is the original body who acted on the permit, and therefore, a request for an extension from the City Council is required. During consideration of the extension request, the permit may be conditioned to comply with any development standards that may have been enacted since the permit was initially approved. Additionally, to grant approval of the time extension, the Council must find that the original permit findings can be made and there are no changed circumstances or there has been diligent pursuit to exercise the permit that warrants such an extension.

Analysis of Request for Extension
The applicant submitted materials for a formal request for an extension of the entitlements on April 22, 2024 (Attachment D). The request indicates market conditions have prohibited the Project from moving forward at this time. These conditions include "abnormally high interest rates, extremely high construction costs, lack of developer interest in a project with a labor union agreement, and rent escalation not matching development cost escalation".

The Council can approve the extension based on the finding of fact that the original permit findings can be made and no changed circumstances to the Project. Staff supports the Applicant’s request for an extension.

While the delays in this project are unfortunate, it is not uncommon for projects of all types and sizes to have suffered delays during the last two years as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts, such as supply chain disruptions and/or difficulty with financing. The applicant has stated that despite these challenges, they remain "committed to the completion of the Project. An extension will result in the best chance of much-needed housing being built at the site."

FISCAL IMPACT
All permitting costs are borne by the applicant. Approving the extension will not have a direct negative fiscal impact on the City, and in fact, the project could lead to indirect fiscal benefits for Pinole if extended and completed, including:
• Increased property tax revenue from redevelopment and improvements. • Potential increase in sales tax revenue from up to 600 new residents living near the shopping center and from construction activities during the 2-4 year build-out, which could boost local spending at restaurants, grocery stores, and personal services.

Re: Application for extension of Comprehensive Design Review (DR21-12); Tree Removal Permit; and Density Bonus Request for Pinole Vista Development (PL21-0035).

Dear Mr. Hanham:

Our office continues to represent Chris Cole/Metrovation (“Applicant”) and are assisting in Applicant’s efforts to apply for a two-year time extension of the above-referenced project approvals for the Pinole Vista Development (“Project”) located at 1500 Fitzgerald Drive, Pinole. This request is made pursuant to Pinole Municipal Code § 17.10.100.C.

The Project is a 223-unit multi-family, 5-story residential housing development located on approximately 5.9 acres at 1500 Fitzgerald Drive, Pinole. Condition 6 of the Conditions of Approval of Resolution 2022-96, states,
“Exercise of Entitlements- The applicant has two (2) years to exercise the entitlement. Entitlements shall be considered exercised when a Building Permit is are (sic) issued for the apartment structure. . . .” The Project entitlements are currently set to expire on October 18, 2024. The two-year extension is requested because despite diligent efforts to exercise the permits, market conditions have prohibited the Project from moving forward. These conditions include:
abnormally high interest rates; extremely high construction costs; lack of developer interest in a project with a union labor agreement; and rent escalation not matching

development cost escalation. Additionally, the original permit findings can be made.

There are no revisions or changes in design proposed as part of this extension request and there are no changed circumstances.

Despite these challenges, the Applicant remains committed to the completion of the Project. An extension will result in the best chance of much-needed housing being built at the site.

Thank you.

Very truly yours,
Riley F. Hurd III

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 11.A.

DATE: AUGUST 20, 2024
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: KAPIL AMIN, SUSTAINABILITY FELLOW

LILLY WHALEN, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTING AN INITIAL STUDY-NEGATIVE

DECLARATION (IS-ND) FOR THE CAAP AND ADOPTING PINOLE'S

INAUGURAL CLIMATE ACTION AND ADAPTATION PLAN (CAAP)

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council:

1. Receive a presentation regarding Pinole's inaugural Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP)

2. Approve the draft Resolution (Attachment A), adopting the CAAP's Initial Study-Negative Declaration (IS-ND) (Attachment B)

3. Approve the draft Resolution (Attachment C), adopting Pinole's CAAP (Attachment D)

BACKGROUND
After two years of engagement via surveys, public workshops, pop-ups, focus groups, and internal review, the City released a public review draft of its inaugural CAAP on April 19, 2024.

The CAAP is a "greenprint" to bring Pinole to zero carbon emissions by the year 2045, aligning with Senate Bill 32 and Executive Order B-55-18. At the May 7, 2024 City Council meeting, staff presented the public review draft of the CAAP; Council received comments from the public and provided direction for further refinement of the draft Plan. The staff report for the May 7, 2024 CAAP item is provided as Attachment E.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Revisions to the CAAP
Following the May 7 meeting, and due to the extensive length of the public review draft of the CAAP, Staff focused on revamping and streamlining the review process to make it easier for the public to review and comment. Short social media "teasers" focusing on different topics within the CAAP were released to generate interest and engagement. Additionally, to gather diverse feedback, outreach was conducted at Pinole Valley High School and the draft was electronically disseminated to multi-family housing residents through property managers.

Public comments on the draft were accepted until July 31, 2024.

A table showing revisions made to the draft CAAP since the May 7 meeting is provided in Attachment F. Based on specific feedback from Council and the community, the following

revisions were made to the public review draft:
• Action TR-4k was updated to add educational efforts to dispel environmental concerns with EV battery disposal after research found their recyclability to be extremely high1 • Action SW-5 has been assigned to implementation phase 1 • A new action, BE-2o, was added in order to explore a revolving fund for the community in order to simplify and accelerate various decarbonization measures • Action TR-1d was changed from "entity" to "entities" in order to capture a greater opportunity for potential collaboration to expand rebate programs that bolster alternative modes of transportation
• In action BE-3d the word "phase" was updated to "stage" to eliminate confusion with the implementation phases of the plan
• Some actions in the CAAP were completed during the review process and updates were made accordingly to reflect that current progress
• The following actions were moved from implementation phase 2 to phase 1 after reevaluating their degree of urgency:
o Action SW-2j
o Action CAR-1f
o Action CAR-2i
o Action FL-1e
o Action WF-1h
o Action TR-1c
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Pinole's CAAP further serves as a Qualified Climate Action Plan which can streamline the environmental review process of GHG emissions generated from future development projects.

A draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS-ND) was prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and was released on June 17, 2024 for public review and comment. One comment letter was received from East Bay Municipal Water District. All comments on the public review draft and draft IS-ND were considered and incorporated as appropriate. The IS-ND is provided as Exhibit A to Attachment A.

Final CAAP and Implementation
The final CAAP is provided as Exhibit A to Attachment B. Once adopted, the CAAP will also be accompanied by an online dashboard, CAPDash, that will transparently help the City and community monitor progress towards CAAP goals. Additionally, progress reports, GHG inventory updates, and technological advancements will inform updates to the CAAP every 5 years.

FISCAL IMPACT
CAAP projects and programs will vary in cost. The CAAP places the City in a good position to receive funding for these projects. To begin implementing the CAAP, a myriad of grant funding opportunities are available at the state and federal levels. These grant opportunities are identified in the CAAP. Some actions in the CAAP are a continuation of work the City has already been doing with funding set aside. The CAAP will mainly be driven by Staff, and therefore, Staff hours will be necessary for implementation. The CAAP calls for the create a new full-time staff position in the Community Development Department (such as a Sustainability Manager or Coordinator) to oversee CAAP implementation, monitoring, and reporting in addition to cross-department collaboration. For FY 24-25, Sustainability Project Manager Amin will be assigned this role.

Regional Location and Setting
The City of Pinole is approximately 12 square miles and located in Contra Costa County, within the east San Francisco Bay area. Pinole is bordered by Richmond and San Pablo to the southwest, Hercules to the northeast, the unincorporated area of El Sobrante to the south, and the San Pablo Bay to the west. The City is connected to the rest of the County and the Bay Area by State Route 4 (SR 4) and Interstates 80 (I 80), which traverse the City. These freeways provide regional access to Pinole, which is also served by public transit facilities, including the Western Contra Costa Transit Authority (WestCAT) bus lines. Transit routes in Pinole are shown in Figure 3. In addition, nearby airports include the Buchanan Field Airport, which is located over 12 miles to the east.

Local Setting
Pinole had a population of 18,244 in 2023 according to the California Department of Finance (DOF).1 According to the General Plan,2 the City’s existing land use pattern is generally a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial and business centers combined with parks and open spaces.

Although the City of Pinole is largely built out, it includes opportunities for infill mixed-use 1 California Department of Finance (DOF). 2023.

▪ Climate Resolution (2021)
▪ Pinole Economic Development Strategy (2022)
▪ Updated Community Inventory and Prepared Municipal Inventory, as well as community forecast and targets (2022)
▪ Capital Improvement Plan (2024)
The City has also taken several additional sustainability actions, such as initiating a municipal energy audit that will evaluate all City facilities and identify solutions for upgrades, retrofits, and replacements of existing energy systems to enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and optimize resource utilization, aligning with the City's commitment to fostering sustainable practices and minimizing its carbon footprint. A Local Road Safety Plan is also being prepared to identify and improve corridors to make it safer and more convenient to actively commute. Pinole is also working towards banning single-use plastics for packaging consumer goods and takeout food (e.g., plastic bags and plastic foodware such as plates, cups, accessories, and cutlery) and expanding its Procurement Policy to capture more green goods and services. Additionally, The City is preparing a Draft Parks Master Plan which will include development of sustainable recreation and park development.

Regional Sustainability and GHG Reduction Efforts
In coordination with Contra Costa County, the State of California, and the federal government, the City of Pinole has committed to implementing regional and State policies related to GHG emissions reductions. As follows is a summary of the existing regional GHG emissions reduction efforts, which the Pinole CAAP is intended to be consistent with or exceed.

Plan Bay Area: Strategy for a Sustainable Region
In October 2021, the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) jointly adopted Plan Bay Area 2050, which serves as the Bay Area regional longrange plan and identifies how the Bay Area would meet its GHG emission reduction goals. Plan Bay Area is also considered the ABAG/MTC Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). In accordance with Senate Bill (SB) 743, Plan Bay Area includes elements designed to encourage the type of land-use development to preserve affordable housing, improve economic mobility, enhance the transit network to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita, and reduce hazard risks including through adaptation to sea level rise and reducing GHG emissions.4 Bay Area Air Quality Management District CEQA Guidelines In 2022, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) adopted the CEQA Thresholds for Evaluating the Significance of Climate Impacts from Land Use Projects and Plans and is in the process of updating their 2017 CEQA Guidelines.5 The CEQA Thresholds for Evaluating the 4 ABAG-MTC. 2021.

City of Pinole
Climate Action and Adaptation Plan and CEQA GHG Emissions Thresholds 6 Significance of Climate Impacts from Land Use Projects and Plans include requirements for projects and plans in jurisdictions that do not have an adopted local GHG reduction strategy that meets the criteria of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b). In addition, according to the BAAQMD, if a project is consistent with a local GHG reduction strategy, then it can be presumed that the project will not have significant GHG impacts.6 This approach is consistent with CEQA Guidelines, Section 15183.5:

Lead agencies may analyze and mitigate the significant impacts of GHG emissions at a programmatic level, such as…a plan to reduce GHG emissions. Later project-specific environmental documents may tier from and/or incorporate by reference that existing programmatic review. Project-specific environmental documents may rely on an [Environmental Impact Report] containing a programmatic analysis of GHG emissions.

Contra Costa Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan In 2017, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority adopted the Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP), which serves as the blueprint for Contra Costa’s transportation system through 2040. Five key goals have been adopted by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority for the 2017 CTP, which include: supporting the efficient, safe, and reliable movement of people and goods using all available travel modes; managing growth to sustain Contra Costa’s economy, preserving its environment and supporting its communities; expanding safe, convenient, and affordable alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle; maintaining the transportation system; and continuing to invest wisely to maximize the benefits of available funding.7 In support of the Countywide CTP, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority has also prepared separate draft action plans for each subregion in Contra Costa County. Pinole is in the West County subregion,8 which encompasses the incorporated jurisdictions of El Cerrito, Richmond, San Pablo, Pinole, and Hercules, as well as unincorporated portions of western Contra Costa County. This update of the West County Action Plan has been prepared concurrently with, and in conjunction with, updates to the other four subregional action plans which will be used to determine the policies and actions that the Authority can adopt in the 2024 CTP Update which is currently being drafted and is intended to serve as the 25- year blueprint for improving transportation, reducing congestion, improving mobility, supporting a robust economy, and improving quality of life throughout Contra Costa. It is anticipated that the Draft CTP will be published in late 2024 and the Final CTP will go to the Authority Board for adoption in Spring 2025.9
Contra Costa County Climate Action Plan
In 2008, the County adopted its first Municipal Climate Action Plan10 identifying strategies to make government operations more sustainable. The Municipal Climate Action Plan identified thirteen existing and planned GHG reduction measures including employee carpool and vanpool programs; direct digital control for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in County buildings; and 6 Ibid

flexible employee work schedules. The CAP was updated in 201511 to reflect legislation at that time and is currently being updated in parallel with the County’s General Plan.12 Marin Clean Energy
Marin Clean Energy (MCE) formed in 2010 as California’s first community choice energy program and currently provides electricity to more than 1.5 million residents and businesses in 37 member communities across Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, and Solano Counties. As demonstrated in MCE’s 2019 Integrated Resource Plan,13 MCE’s base energy product (Light Green) was 60 percent renewable starting in 2019 and is expected to rise to 70 percent by 2030. This would put MCE 11 years ahead of schedule in meeting Senate Bill 100’s 2030 RPS targets. Additionally, MCE’s GHG-free content was 100 percent in 2022, 23 years earlier than the State mandate.

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

GHG Reduction Policies
CALIFORNIA EXECUTIVE ORDER S-3-05
In 2005, the California governor issued Executive Order (EO) S-3-05, which identifies statewide GHG emissions reduction goals 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 In response to EO S-3-05, California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) created the Climate Action Team (CAT), which in March 2006 published the Climate Action Team Report (the “2006 CAT Report”). The 2006 CAT Report identified a recommended list of strategies that the State could pursue to reduce GHG emissions. These are strategies that could be implemented by various State agencies to meet the emission reduction targets in EO S-3-05 with existing authority of the State agencies. The strategies include the reduction of passenger and light duty truck emissions, the reduction of idling times for diesel trucks, an overhaul of shipping technology/infrastructure, increased use of alternative fuels, increased recycling, and landfill methane capture, among others.

CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY BILL 32, CALIFORNIA GLOBAL WARMING POLLUTION SOLUTIONS ACT In 2006, the California legislature signed Assembly Bill (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 11 Contra Costa County. Conta Costa County Climate Action Plan.

City of Pinole
Climate Action and Adaptation Plan and CEQA GHG Emissions Thresholds 8 require reporting and verification of Statewide GHG emissions. Based on this guidance, CARB approved a 1990 Statewide GHG level and 2020 limit of 427 MT of CO2e.

CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 375, SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES AND CLIMATE PROTECTION ACT In 2008, Senate Bill (SB) 375 enhanced the State’s ability to reach AB 32 targets by developing regional GHG emissions reduction goals 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).

On March 22, 2018, CARB adopted updated regional targets for reducing GHG emissions from 2005 levels by 2020 and 2035. The Association of Bay Area Governments was assigned targets of a ten percent reduction in per capita GHG emissions from passenger vehicles by 2020 and a nineteen percent reduction in per capita GHG emissions from passenger vehicles by 2035.14

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 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-andTrade) 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 EXECUTIVE ORDER B-30-15
In 2015, the California governor issued Executive Order B-30-15, which established a statewide midterm GHG reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. The EO also calls for another update to the CARB Scoping Plan.

CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 32, CALIFORNIA GLOBAL WARMING POLLUTION SOLUTIONS ACT UPDATE In 2016, SB 32 was passed, 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 and policies, such as SB 350 and SB 1383 (see below). 14 CARB. 2023. SB 375 Regional Plan Climate Targets. Available: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/sustainable-communitiesprogram/regional-plan-targets (accessed November 2023).

Initial Study
Final Initial Study– Negative Declaration 9
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 CalRecycle, in consultation with 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.

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE CHANGE SCOPING PLAN UPDATE (2017)
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) CO2e 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.
15 CALIFORNIA EXECUTIVE ORDER B-55-18
In 2018, the California 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 32.

ASSEMBLY BILL 1279
In September 2022, AB 1279 was approved, which established a legally binding requirement for California to achieve and maintain carbon neutrality no later than 2045. Assembly Bill 1279 also established the requirement to achieve a Statewide reduction in GHG emissions of 85 percent below 1990 levels by 2045. This indicates that the remaining 15 percent to achieve carbon neutrality can be achieved via carbon sequestration and other non-direct-GHG-emissions-reductions techniques.

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE CHANGE SCOPING PLAN UPDATE (2022)
In response to the passage of AB 1279 and the identification of the 2045 GHG reduction target, CARB adopted the Final 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan in November 2022. The 2022 Update builds upon the framework established by the 2008 Climate Change Scoping Plan and previous 15 CARB. 2017.

City of Pinole
Climate Action and Adaptation Plan and CEQA GHG Emissions Thresholds 10 updates while identifying a new, technologically feasible, cost-effective, and equity-focused path to achieve California’s climate target. The 2022 Update includes policies to achieve a significant reduction in fossil fuel combustion, further reductions in short-lived climate pollutants, support for sustainable development, increased action in natural working lands to reduce emissions and sequester carbon, and the capture and storage of carbon. The 2022 Update assesses the progress California is making toward reducing its GHG emissions by at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, as called for in SB 32 and laid out in the 2017 Scoping Plan, addresses recent legislation and direction from the governor, extends and expands upon these earlier plans, and implements a target of reducing anthropogenic emissions to 85 percent below 1990 levels by 2045, as well as taking an additional step of adding carbon neutrality as a science-based guide for California’s climate work.16

Energy- and Vehicle-Related Policies
ASSEMBLY BILL 1493, PAVLEY BILL VEHICLE EFFICIENCY STANDARDS In 2002, the California State Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 1493 (aka “the Pavley Bill”), which directs the CARB to adopt standards that will achieve "the maximum feasible and cost-effective reduction of GHG emissions from motor vehicles," taking into account environmental, social, technological, and economic factors. In September 2009, CARB adopted amendments to the “Pavley” regulations to reduce GHG emissions in new passenger vehicles from 2009 through 2016.

The Pavley Bill is considered to be the national model for vehicle emissions standards. In January of 2012, CARB approved a new emissions control program for vehicle model years 2017 through 2025.

The program combines the control of smog, soot, and GHGs and the requirement for greater numbers of zero emission vehicles into a single package of standards called Advanced Clean Cars.

CALIFORNIA ENERGY EFFICIENCY STRATEGIC PLAN OF 2008
In 2008, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adopted California’s first Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan, presenting a single roadmap to achieve maximum energy savings across all major groups and sectors in California. The Strategic Plan was subsequently updated in January 2011 to include a lighting chapter. The Strategic Plan sets goals of all new residential construction and all new commercial construction in California to be zero net energy (ZNE) by 2020 and 2030, respectively. In 2018, the California Energy Commission voted to adopt a policy requiring all new homes in California to incorporate rooftop solar. This change went into effect in January 2020 with the adoption of the 2019 California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24 Code and is a step towards the State achieving its goal of all residential new construction being zero-net energy (ZNE) by 2020. Additionally, the Strategic Plan sets goals of 50 percent of existing commercial buildings to be retrofitted to ZNE by 2030, and all new State buildings and major renovations to be constructed to ZNE by 2025.

Final Initial Study– Negative Declaration 11
CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS TITLE 24 (CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE) Updated every three years through a rigorous stakeholder process, Title 24 of the CCR requires California homes and businesses to meet strong energy efficiency measures, thereby lowering their energy use. Title 24 contains numerous subparts, including Part 1 (Administrative Code), Part 2 (Building Code), Part 3 (Electrical Code), Part 4 (Mechanical Code), Part 5 (Plumbing Code), Part 6 (Energy Code), Part 8 (Historical Building Code), Part 9 (Fire Code), Part 10 (Existing Building Code), Part 11 (Green Building Standards Code), Part 12 (Referenced Standards Code). The California Building Code is applicable to all development in California. (Health and Safety Code § 17950 and 18938(b).)
The regulations receive input from members of industry, as well as the public, with the goal of "[r]educing of wasteful, uneconomic, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy." (Pub. Res.

Code § 25402.) These regulations are carefully scrutinized and analyzed for technological and economic feasibility (Pub. Res. Code § 25402(d)) and cost effectiveness (Pub. Res. Code § 25402(b)(2) and (b)(3)). The 2022 Title 24 standards went into effect on January 1, 2023.

Part 6 – Building Energy Efficiency Standards
CCR Title 24 Part 6 is the Building Energy Efficiency Standards. This code, originally enacted in 1978, establishes energy-efficiency standards for residential and non-residential buildings in order to reduce California’s energy demand. The Building Energy Efficiency Standards is updated periodically to incorporate and consider new energy-efficiency technologies and methodologies as they become available. New construction and major renovations must demonstrate their compliance with the current Building Energy Efficiency Standards through submission and approval of a Title 24 Compliance Report to the local building permit review authority and the California Energy Commission.

Part 11 – California Green Building Standards
The California Green Building Standards Code, referred to as CALGreen, was added to Title 24 as Part 11, first in 2009 as a voluntary code, which then became mandatory effective on January 1, 2011 (as part of the 2010 California Building Standards Code). The 2022 CALGreen includes mandatory minimum environmental performance standards for all ground-up new construction of residential and non-residential structures. It also includes voluntary tiers with stricter environmental performance standards for these same categories of residential and non-residential buildings. Local jurisdictions must enforce the minimum mandatory CALGreen standards and may adopt additional amendments for stricter requirements.

The mandatory standards applicable to air quality require:
▪ Minimum 20 percent reduction in indoor water use relative to specified baseline levels;17 ▪ Waste Reduction:
 Minimum 65 percent non-hazardous construction/demolition waste diverted from landfills;  Non-residential and multi-family dwellings with five or more units: Provide readily accessible areas identified for the depositing, storage and collection of nonhazardous 17 Similar to the compliance reporting procedure for demonstrating Energy Code compliance in new buildings and major renovations, compliance with the CALGreen water reduction requirements must be demonstrated through completion of water use reporting forms.

Buildings must demonstrate a 20 percent reduction in indoor water use by either showing a 20 percent reduction in the overall baseline water use as identified in CALGreen or a reduced per-plumbing-fixture water use rate.

ASSEMBLY BILL 117, COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATION
AB 117 allows the creation of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) that fosters clean and renewable energy markets. CCA allows cities and counties to aggregate the buying power of individual jurisdictions. The California CCA markets were created as an answer to the brownouts and energy shortages of the early 2000’s. AB 117 was passed in 2002 as an answer to California’s increased energy independency by incorporating more alternative and renewable energy sources into its energy portfolio. With AB 117, municipalities can provide alternative energy choices to their local carrier (e.g., Pacific Gas and Electric). MCE was the first CCA in the State of California to go online with a 50 percent to 100 percent clean energy portfolio in 2010. In 2017, SVCE began supplying south bay area communities, including Pinole, with options for 100 percent renewable energy-sourced electricity or electricity from a mix of renewable and non-renewable sources. CCAs are governed by the CPUC. SB 790 further ensures fair and transparent competition by creating a code of conduct and guiding principles for entrants into the CCA field.

SENATE BILL 1275, CHARGE AHEAD INITIATIVE
In 2014, SB 1275 established a State goal of one million zero-emissions and near-zero-emissions vehicles in service by 2020 and directed CARB to develop a long-term funding plan to meet this goal.

SB 1275 also established the Charge Ahead California Initiative requiring planning and reporting on vehicle incentive programs and increasing access to and benefits from zero-emissions vehicles for disadvantaged, low- and moderate-income communities and consumers.

SENATE BILL 350, CLEAN ENERGY AND POLLUTION REDUCTION ACT OF 2015 In 2015, SB 350 established new clean energy, clean air, and GHG reduction goals for 2030 and beyond. SB 350 codified Governor Brown’s aggressive clean energy goals and established the State 2030 GHG reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels. To achieve this goal, SB 350 increases California’s renewable electricity procurement goal from 33 percent by 2020 (legislation originally enacted in 2002) to 50 percent by 2030. Renewable resources include wind, solar, geothermal, wave, and small hydroelectric power. In addition, SB 350 requires the State to double statewide energy efficiency savings in electricity and natural gas end uses by 2030 from a base year of 2015.

Climate Action and Adaptation Plan and CEQA GHG Emissions Thresholds 14 SENATE BILL 1020, CLEAN ENERGY, JOBS, AND AFFORDABILITY ACT OF 2022 Established in 2002 under SB 1078, and accelerated by SB 107 (2006), SB X 1-2 (2011), SB 100 (2018), and SB 1020, California’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) obligates investor-owned utilities, energy service providers, and community choice aggregators to transition the electricity supply to renewable resources. The RPS requires energy service providers to supply renewable energy as follows: 90 percent of retail sale electricity and 100 percent of electricity procured to serve state agencies by 2035, 95 percent by 2040, and 100 percent by 2045. The CPUC and the CEC are jointly responsible for implementing the program.

Other GHG Emissions-Related Policies
ASSEMBLY BILL 197, STATE AIR RESOURCES BOARD GHGS REGULATIONS In 2016, the California legislature approved AB 197, a bill linked to SB 32, which increases legislature oversight over CARB and directs CARB to prioritize disadvantaged communities in its climate change regulations, and to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of measures it considers. AB 197 requires CARB to protect the State’s most impacted and disadvantaged communities [and] consider the social costs of the emissions of GHGs when developing climate change programs. The bill also adds two new legislatively appointed non-voting members to CARB, increasing the Legislature’s role in CARB’s decisions.

SENATE BILL 97, CEQA GUIDELINES FOR ADDRESSING GHG EMISSIONS CEQA requires public agencies to review the environmental impacts of proposed projects, including General Plans, Specific Plans, and specific kinds of development projects. In February 2010, the California Office of Administrative Law approved the recommended amendments to the State CEQA Guidelines for addressing GHG emissions. The amendments were developed to provide guidance to public agencies regarding the analysis, mitigation, and effects of GHG emissions in draft CEQA documents.

General Plan Designation and Zoning
The Pinole CAAP and CEQA GHG Emissions Thresholds would be implemented throughout the City and would occur in all General Plan designations and in all zoning designations.

Description of Plan
Pinole CAAP
The City of Pinole CAAP was developed to achieve a resilient and climate-ready community and support regional, State, and global climate goals through achieving the City’s 2030 and 2045 climate action targets. The City’s GHG targets were developed relative to the 2017 Community GHG emissions by back-casting to 1990. This back-cast utilized the change in statewide GHG emissions between 2017 and 1990 as a proxy for change in Pinole during the same period.19 The estimated 1990 GHG emissions were then reduced by 40 percent to establish a 2030 target for the City and 19 The City of Pinole’s 1990 GHG emissions were estimated to be 78,982 MT CO2e based on a nine percent increase in state GHG emissions seen between 2017 and 1990.

Final Initial Study– Negative Declaration 15
reduced to zero to establish a 2045 target for the City. The targets, established as follows, remain consistent with the State’s 2030 and 2045 goals:
▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 47,389 MT CO2e by 2030 (the SB 32 target year) ▪ Reduce GHG emissions to 0 MT CO2e by 2045 (the AB 1249 target year) The CAAP provides a foundation for future sustainable development efforts in Pinole, and it is anticipated that environmental review documents for future development projects would identify and incorporate applicable GHG reduction measures and actions from the CAAP. The CAAP addresses communitywide GHG emissions and includes a discrete target for Pinole to reach maximum emissions of 47,389 CO2e by 2030. The CAAP includes a summary of the emissions inventory and forecast, measures and actions to achieve the City’s climate mitigation and resilience goals and focuses on actions through 2030 for purposes of meeting the City’s 2030 GHG emission target.

The 2017 GHG emissions inventory provides the basis for emissions forecasts for the years 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, and 2045. The GHG emissions inventory was completed in compliance with all relevant protocols and guidance documents, including U.S. Community Protocol, Local Government Operations Protocol, the Global Protocol for Community Scale GHG Emissions, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National GHG Inventories. In 2017, Pinole’s total GHG emissions were estimated to be 73,513 MT of CO2e. GHG emissions in the inventory are categorized based on sectors. These sectors include off-road vehicles and equipment, solid waste, water and wastewater, on-road transportation, residential energy use, and nonresidential energy use. Table 1 provides the summary of Pinole’s 2017 GHG emissions by sector, as well as each sector’s percentage of communitywide emissions.20 As shown therein, the largest GHG emissions are related to transportation and building energy use. 20 Rincon Consultants, Inc.

Note: Values may not add up due to rounding.

The Pinole CAAP establishes a target to reduce communitywide GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (47,389 MT of CO2e), which aligns with the SB 32 State GHG emissions target, consistent with CEQA for a qualified GHG emissions reduction strategy and to be achievable by Citysupported measures and actions identified in the Pinole CAAP. The CAAP includes a business-asusual (BAU) forecast and an adjusted BAU (ABAU) forecast of GHG emissions, based on the 2017 inventory, which enables Pinole to estimate the emissions reductions required to meet its communitywide reduction targets.

The Pinole CAAP is organized into 13 strategies for GHG emissions reduction and climate adaptation, each of which includes measures and actions. These strategies focus on clean electricity, building decarbonization, transportation decarbonization and sustainable land use planning, solid waste and water use reductions, community engagement, and climate adaptation. Table 2 includes a complete list of the strategies, measures, and actions established by the City for inclusion in the CAAP, as well as anticipated annual GHG reductions attributable to mitigation-related measures in 2030.

Measures that focus on adaptation will note “Not Applicable” or “N/A” in the emissions reduction quantification column below.
