DRAFT Climate Action Plan - PMC

ES
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In order to operate effectively as a programmatic tiering document, the California
Attorney General’s Office and the BAAQMD recommend integration of components of
the GHG emissions reduction strategy into the General Plan. Sunnyvale has already
begun this effort through the concurrent update of the Land Use and Transportation
Element of the City’s General Plan. The GHG emissions reduction strategy will
contribute to the General Plan’s policies and will serve as mitigation for the City’s GHG
emissions.
To comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, the CEQA Guidelines
recommend that the CAP undergo environmental review and demonstrate that it will
have a less than significant environmental impact for all impacts analyzed. The City’s
Land Use and Transportation Element EIR will also analyze the potential impacts of the
Climate Action Plan.
