The public is invited to provide verbal or written comments on the City’s newly released draft Climate Action Plan (CAP) that was created to help Pasadena reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
The meetings include:
- Environmental Advisory Commission, 6 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 18, at the Permit Center Hearing Room, 175 N. Garfield Ave. Agenda to be posted online.
- City Council’s Municipal Services Committee, 4 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 23, in the Council Chamber, Second Floor, City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave. Agenda to be posted online.
The draft CAP was released by the City’s Planning and Community Development Department on December 28, 2017 and is online.
Residents or business owners who need more information or who wish to submit written comments by February 10, 2018 can contact Anita Cerna, Senior Planner, at acerna@cityofpasadena.net or (626) 744-6767.
There is no schedule yet for when the CAP would be presented to the full City Council for consideration.
The CAP’s goal, as drafted, is to reduce local GHG emissions by 59 percent in 2035 from 2009 measured levels in four major areas—energy, transportation, water and solid waste. To accomplish that goal, the draft CAP includes five overall strategies with 27 measures and 142 actions. The draft CAP also supports the State’s GHG reduction efforts under Executive Order (EO) S-3-05, Assembly Bill 32 and Senate Bill 32.
