AGENDA REPORT
TO: Community Services Commission
FROM: Herman Parker, Director of Community Servic
DATE: June 14, 2010
SUBJECT: Review of the Preliminary Draft City of Temecula Sustainability Plan
PREPARED BY: Dale West, Associate Planner
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file.
BACKGROUND: On July 22, 2008 the City Council established the City Sustainability
Program Committee and directed to staff to prepare a City of Temecula Sustainability Plan. The
Temecula Sustainability Plan will be a blueprint for the City to operate in a sustainable way by
setting targets for reducing greenhouse gases, energy and water use, planning for growth, reducing
waste and championing emerging technologies. The Plan focuses on City operations and actions
that provide a benefit to the community without placing additional burdens on the community. The
Sustainability Plan is intended to be an adaptive plan that will be responsive to new ideas, changing
technology and shifting resources. Throughout the implementation of the Plan, periodic progress
reports will be prepared in order to track progress toward achieving the goals of the Plan and to
determine whether adjustments should be made to the indicators and targets.
The City Sustainability Program Committee is made up of two Council members and a
representative from the Planning Commission, Community Services Commission, and the
Public/Traffic Safety Commission. Additionally, eight staff level teams were created to focus on
establishing goals, targets, indicators, and implementation measures for each of the Plan's eight
core categories.
The eight teams are made up of City staff from the Departments of Planning, Public Works,
Community Services, Building and Safety, and Finance, as well as representatives from The Gas
Company, Southern California Edison, Rancho California Water District, Eastern Municipal Water
District, CR &R Waste and Recycling Services, and the Air Quality Management District. The teams
met on 36 occasions to provide input into the development of the Plan.
The Plan includes the following core categories: Energy, Water Resources, Air Resources, Green
Building, Waste Management, Transportation, Open Space, and Community Outreach. Within each
category, specific goals were established, and for each goal, an indicator and target was identified
as a means of measuring progress toward achieving the goals. Next, the teams identified specific
activities to be implemented, which will lead to achieving the goals. A total of 25 goals and 78
actions make up the City of Temecula Sustainability Plan. The proposed actions include the
development of policies, establishment of new development and building standards, new programs,
additional analysis, and public outreach and education.
Staff will provide an overview of the preliminary draft City of Temecula Sustainability Plan and
adoption schedule at the June 14, 2010 meeting.

Sustainability- What does it mean?
The word "sustainability" is commonly used today in
context to human life on Earth. The word sustain -_ ,
ability literally translates to "maintain," "support," or����
"endure." However, in recent times and in context M A
to human life, the most widely used definition ofSOCIdI
sustainability is: "to meet the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future genera-
tions to meet their own needs." While this is the Bearable grill
most widely used definition, it is not universally ac- fv'
cepted and is continually challenged through inter- _; SustanaHe
AN
pretations by various individuals and disciplines in ,
5 �[1Vlt'CDIiIY24'_I2t � � ,
an attempt to find a true and accep table definition. Via6te ECflll�l
P P
For now, the City of Temecula will move forward
with the above definition., «'
Sustainability focuses on three components: the
natural environment or natural resources of a com-
munity, the social wellbeing of a community, and
the economic prosperity of the community. When these three components come together, the bene-
fits of sustainability positively impact the environment, the economy and society. However, if one
aspect is ignored or favored over another, the result is an imbalance within the system. If all three
are addressed independent of one another the consequences over time can be catastrophic as one or
more of the systems attempt to find its balance.
There is growing evidence that humanity is diminishing its finite resources and living unsustainably.
Changing the ways in which we live to become more sustainable will require a monumental shift in
the way we value and utilize our resources. Improving the quality of human life, while living within
the carrying capacity of earth, without destroying ecosystems and natural processes for which we
rely upon, has become the greatest challenge to humanity.
For local governments to become or to act in a sustainable manner, means looking at internal poli-
cies and practices, as well as regulations, in ways that improve the community without placing overly
burdensome demands that result in excessive cost relative to the benefits received.
This is a pivotal time in human history; the challenges facing societies are global, but the solutions
are local. New practices, technical advances, and innovation continue to transform our lives; tech-
nologies and innovation not yet discovered will have a dramatic impact on our lives and will hopefully
contribute to achieving the goals set by this plan in a more efficient and effective manner.
We will think globally, act locally,
and we will persevere. z

Introduction
In July 2008 the Temecula City Council committed to becoming a sustainable community by estab-
lishing a City Sustainability Committee (made up a two City Council members and one member from
of each of the three City Commissions) and directed staff to begin the preparation of a City Sustain -
ability Plan. The Temecula Sustainability Plan will be a blueprint for addressing sustainability and
climate change by setting targets for reducing greenhouse gases, energy and water use, planning
intelligently for growth, reducing waste, and championing emerging technologies. The City Council
provided the inspiration and direction for this planning effort with the unanimous adoption of Resolu-
tion No. 08 -74, which established a municipal green building policy and endorsed the California
Green Building Program. Next, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 08- 91,which committed the
City to preparing a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and Climate Action Plan.
VISION
In response to legislative mandates, the City of Temecula commits to collaboratively build an
ecologically sustainable, economically dynamic, and socially equitable future for its citizen's
that strives to use local resources effectively and efficiently, safeguards human health and the
environment, promotes a healthy and diverse economy, and improves the livability and quality
of life for all community members.
Since the time the Council provided direction, Planning staff has worked collaboratively with all City
Departments and various outside agencies to examine current practices and identify ways in which
the City can build upon and enhance our sustainable practices. With the formation of teams made up
of City staff and utility service provider staff, specific implementation measures were identified which
are intended to accomplish the goals of the Sustainability Plan.
LEGISLATION
The State of California has recently enacted legislation that requires local jurisdictions to develop sustain-
able community strategies to slow climate change and ensure sustainable development. These mandates
will have significant and wide ranging impact on the way; industry and governments do business. Specific
legislation enacted to date includes:
AS 32
AB 32 requires the Air Resources Board (ARB) to develop regulations and market mechanisms to reduce:
California's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to their 1990 levels` by 2020. (Greenhouse gases such as
carbon dioxide are widely` believed to contribute to global warming and other forms of climate change.)
Mandatory caps on GHG emission will begin in 2012 for significant GHG sources. The caps will be reduced'
over time to meet the 2020 goals.
5B 47
SB 97 states that GHG emissions and their impacts are appropriate subjects for CEQA analysis. SB 97
directs the State's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to develop draft CEQA guidelines for the mitiga-
tion of greenhouse gas emissions or the effects of GHG emissions by July 1, 2009 and directs the State
Resources Agency to certify and adopt the CEQA guidelines by January 1, 2010.
SB 375
SB 375 enhances the ARB's ability to reach the AB 32 goals by directing 'ARB to develop regional GHG
emission reduction targets to be achieved from the automobile and light truck sectors for 2020 and 2035.
ARB will also work with California's 18 Metropolitan Planning, Organizations to align their regional trans-
portation, housing and land use plans and prepare a "sustainable communities strategy" to reduce the
amount of vehicle miles traveled in their respective regions and demonstrate the region's ability to attain
its GHG reduction targets.

Plan Overview
This plan represents a systematic approach to integrate the goals of sustainability into virtually all
facets of the way the City of Temecula government operates; from the energy used and water con-
sumed, to the construction of buildings, to the products purchased, and to the way land use and
transportation are integrated into the community.
Development of the Sustainability Plan is based on five guiding principles. The following guiding
principles provide the basis from which effective decisions can be made:
1. The concept of sustainability guides City policy and all policy decisions have implications to
the long -term sustainability of the City.
2. Protection, preservation and restoration of the natural environment are high priorities and
are mutually dependent on economic health and social equity.
3. The City of Temecula recognizes its connection with residents, regional, national and global
communities.
4. Community awareness, responsibility, participation and education are key elements of a
sustainable community.
5. Prioritizing of sustainability issues will be balanced with costs associated with programs.
This Sustainability Plan makes recommendations for specific actions to enhance City performance in
the following eight categories: Energy, Green Building, Water Resources, Air Resources, Waste Man-
agement, Transportation, Open Space, and Community Outreach. For each category, specific goals,
success indicators, and implementation measures were developed as a means to continually monitor
the progress being made toward becoming a sustainable city. To reinforce the blueprint of this Sus -
tainability Plan, a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and Climate Action Plan will be prepared.
The resulting implementation measures from the Climate Action Plan will be incorporated into this
Sustainability Plan.

The Sustainability Plan is intended to be an adaptive plan that will be responsive to new ideas,
changing technology and shifting resources. As with any program, a key component to ensuring sus-
tainable growth and success is to engage the community in its actions to ensure that Temecula re-
mains competitive for future growth while preserving the health of its environment for generations to
come.
