5 Climate Smart
Decarbonization & Mitigation
The Climate Smart plan guides San José’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the City.
• This past quarter, the team has completed the draft of the updated Climate Smart document, graphics and layout.
• Stakeholder engagement for the Climate Smart plan
update was projected to be completed in Q3, but has not yet started and is expected to begin in May 2025 following the release of the public draft.
• The draft of the City Council memorandum is also delayed, with the Council date now pushed to Fall 2025 to
accommodate extensive input from City departments.
• T&E update tentatively scheduled for October 2025.
6 Partnering with PG&E:
In partnership with PG&E, the City is advancing
initiatives to support electrification, streamline
permitting, and enhance energy infrastructure.
• A Cooperation Agreement was brought to Council on
March 4, and the basis for an Implementation
Agreement for North San José (NSJ) and Downtown
San José (DTSJ) was presented at the Special
Council Meeting on March 21.
• The City and PG&E are actively negotiating the
Implementation Agreement with a goal to execute
before the end of June.
• Efforts to explore San José zonal electrification
opportunities, including identifying potential SB1221
pilot sites, were completed.
• Additionally, the Partnership Pilot for programmatic
permit expansion and the development of a shared
dashboard has been implemented.
7 Ensuring Clean Creeks and
Rivers (Stormwater Permit):
The City holds a stormwater permit to ensure
compliance with state and federal Clean Water Act
regulations aimed at protecting water quality and
maintaining stormsewer system and healthy clean
creeks and rivers.
In alignment with these requirements, the City provided a six-month Direct Discharge progress update to the
Water Board in January 2025, which has been
completed and approved.
Additionally, the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
with Valley Water for in-channel creek clean-up efforts is being finalized, supporting ongoing efforts to reduce pollution and improve local waterways.
