To be outlined at the end of this Workshop 100

51 SB 375 Another Step Toward Climate-Sparing Strategy with Multiple Payoffs Background SB 375 is a part of the comprehensive implementation of AB AB 32 is California s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 AB 32 requires the State of California to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels no later than 2020 SB 375 Signed by Gov. Scwarzenegger on September 30, Provides a means for achieving AB 32 goals from cars and light trucks 101 SB 375 Another Step Toward Climate-Sparing Strategy with Multiple Payoffs Key SB 375 Components Include: Regional Green House Gas (GHG) Emissions Targets Traffic Models to Account for Land Use Relationships Regional Transportation Plans to include Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) Housing Needs Allocations and Rezoning Requirements New CEQA Limitation for Certain Residential Projects and for Transit Priority Projects 102

52 SB 375 Another Step Toward Climate-Sparing Strategy with Multiple Payoffs SB 375 Impacts and Planning Implications for Fresno (Continued) Some of the Estimated and Proposed SEGA Plan Per Household Metrics versus Fresno Growth Trend: GHGs from 14.5 metric tons to 5.7 tons = 60% Annual Reduction Air Pollution from 1,600 lbs to 800 lbs = 50% Annual Reduction* Zero Net Clean Energy/Efficiencies = 50% Annual Lower Use & Costs Water (Pending DPU Studies) = SEGA Site Goals are 50% Daily Use Reduction by 2025 and 75% Daily Use Reduction by 2050 Affordability as Measured by Reduced Annual Transportation and Household Maintenance Costs for Energy and Water = 50% Reduction * Should be a higher reduction as originally estimated by Calthorpe Assoc. in preferred alternative development Recalibrated measurement tool used in EIR will tell. 103 Existing Condition East 14 th Street San Leandro, California CD+A and UA

It would directly and efficiently link the majority of 30 incorporated cities in Fresno, Kings, Madera, and Tulare counties creating the basis for economic growth. The Loop would define one of the most significant, sustainable and effective smart-growth-oriented regional metropolitan areas in the State of California. A system of region-connecting, high-capacity, multimodal transportation corridors supported by regional land use policies that lead the development of transit-oriented bands and nodes of global quality industry, commerce, residential, public, and recreational open spaces along corridors. Metro Rural Loop transportation corridors would offer a transit-focused combination of light-rail transit (LRT), goods movement rail, bus rapid transit (BRT), dedicated truck lanes, and other modes that sustain regional mobility, and connect SMART, compact, walkable centers and villages. 116
