Amenities/Quality of Life - Policy Item 108. AB 32/SB 375: Community Choice Aggregate (CCA) Energy Program is an adopted policy item under the FY 2018-21 Council Priority Workplan, effective November 1, 2017.
CEQA Compliance Statement
This update is not a project and is for informational purpose only; therefore, it does not require CEQA clearance.
However, the New City Hall Project discussed below in relation to electric vehicles was determined to be consistent with the San Pablo General Plan and the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan (SCH#2010112062) on June 7, 2017; thus, additional environmental review was not required. The San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a program EIR, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168. No substantive changes have occurred with the design of the Project; therefore, no further environmental review is required.
