1 WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Colton has reviewed the Addendum and finds that 2 it is consistent with the Public Resources Code Section 2166 and CEQA Guidelines 15162 and 15164; 3 and 4 5 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: 6 SECTION 1. The 2023 Colton Climate Action Plan (CAP) Update fulfills Federal and State 7 regulations relative to analysis and reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions within the City's 8 jurisdictional control, including revised and expanded GHG reduction targets contained in SB 32. 9 SECTION 2. The 2023 CAP Update is consistent with the Colton General Plan. 10 11 SECTION 3. The 2023 CAP Update is a plan for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at a 12 city-wide level that complies with the provisions of CEQA Guidelines §15183.5(b)(1) Tiering and 13 Streamlining the Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Emissions because: 14 1. The 2023 CAP Update quantifies greenhouse gas emissions for both existing(2016 data)and 15 projected (2030) resulting from land use activities covered within the Colton General Plan; and 16 17 2. The CAP Update established greenhouse gas reduction targets, based upon substantial evidence found in SB 32, less than the contribution to greenhouse gas emissions from 18 activities covered in the Colton General Plan and would be cumulatively considerable; and 19 3. The CAP Update identified and analyzed the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from 20 categories of actions anticipated within the geographic area covered by the Colton General 21 Plan; and 22 4. The CAP Update specifies greenhouse gas reduction measures that substantial evidence demonstrates once implemented on a project-by-project basis,would collectively achieve the 23 greenhouse gas reduction targets; and 24 5. The CAP Update, including performance standards and screening tables, monitor the 25 progress toward achieving the reduction targets, and when corrective action is warranted 26 based upon monitoring, amend or revise the CAP, including individual GHG emission reduction measures and screening tables, as needed in order to make corrective actions that 27 will result in achieving the reduction targets. 28 - 3 -
