Energy: general plan: building decarbonization requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a comprehensive general plan that addresses a number of elements. Existing law requires, among other things, the city\u2019s or county\u2019s planning agency to investigate and make recommendations to the legislative body regarding reasonable and practical means for implementing the general plan or element of the general plan.<\/p>\n<p>Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to assess, by January 1, 2021, the potential for the state to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from the state\u2019s residential and commercial building stock by at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by January 1, 2030.<\/p>\n<p>This bill would require a city or county to make, commencing\u00a0January 1, 2023,\u00a0a one-time amendment to\u00a0the appropriate elements of its general\u00a0plan, climate action or greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan, or building or other codes, as described,\u00a0to include goals, policies, objectives, targets, and feasible implementation strategies, as specified, to decarbonize newly constructed, as defined,\u00a0commercial and residential buildings. The bill would require a city or county to submit these draft amendments to the commission at least 45 days prior to the adoption of the amendments. The bill would require the legislative body of the city or county to consider the commission\u2019s advisory comments, if any, prior to adopting the amendments.<\/p>\n<p>The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.<\/p>\n<p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.<\/p>\n<p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.<\/p>\n<p>Vote:\u00a0majority\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Appropriation:\u00a0no\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fiscal Committee:\u00a0yes\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Local Program:\u00a0yes<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:<\/p>\n<p><strong>SECTION 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Section 65302.0.5 is added to the Government Code, to read:<\/p>\n<p><strong>65302.0.5.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(a)\u00a0The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:<\/p>\n<p>(1)\u00a0California has adopted aggressive greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, including returning to 1990 levels by 2020, 40 percent below 1990 by 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2045. The achievement of these targets require emissions reductions across all sectors of the economy at the state and local levels.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0Every three years, cities and counties across the state adopt the new building energy efficiency standards for all buildings, or Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. These standards are updated by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission.

These standards will be adopted in 2021 by the commission with an effective date of January 1, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0According to the State Air Resources Board, California building energy use is responsible for roughly 25 percent of statewide greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0Commencing\u00a0January 1, 2023, the legislative body of each city or county shall\u00a0make a one-time amendment of\u00a0the appropriate elements of<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\">\u00a0<\/span>any of the following, during the specified timeline,\u00a0to include goals, policies, objectives, targets, and feasible implementation strategies to decarbonize newly constructed commercial and residential buildings:<\/p>\n<p>(1)\u00a0Its general plan, during the next cycle of updates to the plan.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0If it has adopted, by January 1, 2023, a climate action or greenhouse gas emissions reductions plan, as described in Section 15183.5 of Title 14 of the Code of California Regulations, as that section read on January 1, 2021, then its climate action or greenhouse gas emissions reductions plan during the next update to the plan.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0Its building code or other codes updated for purposes of adopting state building standards code updates, during the next cycle of updates to the plans.<\/p>\n<p>(c)\u00a0The adoption of building decarbonization amendments, as described in subdivision (b), shall include all of the following:<\/p>\n<p>(1)\u00a0A report describing greenhouse gas emissions data for existing commercial and residential buildings, including significant sources of the emissions.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0A summary of local, state, and federal policies, programs, and regulations that may assist in the decarbonization of existing and newly constructed commercial and residential buildings.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0A comprehensive set of goals, policies, and objectives that may assist in decarbonizing newly constructed commercial and residential buildings in the city or county. This shall\u00a0promote compliance with, and\u00a0include a consideration of the commission\u2019s assessment of greenhouse gas reduction potential in residential and commercial buildings pursuant\u00a0to,\u00a0Section 25403 of the Public Resources<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\">\u00a0<\/span>Code and Parts 6 and 11 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.\u00a0This shall also include the following targets for the decarbonization of newly constructed commercial or residential buildings:<\/p>\n<p>(A)\u00a0Greenhouse gas reduction consistent with the state\u2019s target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>(B)\u00a0Carbon neutrality by 2045.<\/p>\n<p>(4)\u00a0A set of feasible implementation measures designed to carry out those goals, policies, and objectives.<\/p>\n<p>(d)\u00a0At least 45 days prior to the adoption of building decarbonization amendments pursuant to this section, each city and county shall send a copy of its draft amendments to the commission. The commission may review the draft amendments to determine whether the amendments will lead to building decarbonization. Within 30 days of receiving the draft amendments, the commission may send any comments and advice to the city or county. The legislative body of the city or county shall consider the commission\u2019s comment and advice prior to the final adoption of building decarbonization amendments.\u00a0If the commission\u2019s comments and advice are not available by the time scheduled for the final adoption of\u00a0the\u00a0building decarbonization amendments,\u00a0the legislative body of the city or county may adopt the amendments without consideration of the commission\u2019s comments.
