Sustainable Communities Strategy Presenters The region and the county are engaged in planning for development over the next 25 years through a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) update and development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS). The following SCS partners, and many others, are essential in moving forward a workable strategy, which integrates transportation and land-use planning, to meet the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions required by California Senate Bill (SB) 375 as well as to support the housing requirements in the bill. Each agency plays a role in planning, policy, regulations and funding as well as supporting job development.
Metropolitan Transportation Commission http://www.mtc.ca.gov/Guided by its 19-member policy board, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) functions as the transportation planning, coordinating and financing agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. As both the state-designated regional transportation planning agency and the region’s metropolitan planning organization, the MTC regularly updates the Regional Transportation Plan, a comprehensive blueprint for the development of mass transit, highway, airport, seaport railroad, bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Association of Bay Area Governments http://www.abag.ca.gov/The Association of Bay Area Governments is a regional planning agency and local government service provider committed to enhancing the quality of life in the San Francisco Bay Area through advocacy, collaboration and excellence in the areas of planning, research and member services. ABAG is working closely with MTC on the 2013 update to the RTP, in conjunction with the SCS. In March 2011, ABAG and MTC released the Initial Vision Scenario, which provides a starting point for conversations with local governments and Bay Area residents about where new development should occur, and how new long-term transportation investments can serve this new growth.
Bay Area Air Quality Management District http://www.baaqmd.gov/ As the first regional air pollution control agency in the country, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District has been working to improve regional air quality since 1955 and regulates stationary sources of air pollution in the nine counties that surround San Francisco Bay: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, southwestern Solano and southern Sonoma counties. The District’s California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines assist local jurisdictions and lead agencies in complying with the requirements of CEQA regarding potentially adverse impacts to air quality. The District will be instrumental in ensuring the Bay Area meets SB 375 requirements.

San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission http://www.bcdc.ca.gov/Created by the California Legislature in 1965, the 27-member San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) responds to public concern over the future of the open water, marshes and mudflats of greater San Francisco Bay, including Suisun, San Pablo, Honker, Richardson, San Rafael, San Leandro and Grizzly Bays and the Carquinez Strait. The Commission regulates all filling and dredging in San Francisco Bay; protects Suisun Marsh, California’s largest remaining wetland; administers the federal Coastal Zone Management Act; and participates in California’s oil spill prevention and response planning program. The BCDC is a key partner in addressing the effects of climate change.
Alameda County Transportation Commission http://www.alamedactc.orgThe Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) is a joint powers authority resulting from the merger of the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA) and the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA). Members include the 14 cities in Alameda County, the County of Alameda, AC Transit, BART, ACCMA and ACTIA. The Alameda CTC is leading the Alameda County Countywide Transportation Plan update, which supports the RTP and SCS, and the development of a Transportation Expenditure Plan that identifies funding priorities for an extension of the existing transportation sales tax, known as Measure B.
East Bay Economic Development Alliance http://www.edab.org/The East Bay Economic Development Alliance’s (East Bay EDA) bi-county mission is to establish the East Bay as a world-recognized location to grow businesses, attract capital and create quality jobs in both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Founded in 1990 by Alameda County, its 14 cities and special districts make up the Economic Development Advisory Board. The East Bay EDA is assisting in the RTP/SCS process by providing valuable input on the housing and land use aspects of transportation planning and development to facilitate job growth throughout the region.

How to Get InvolvedIn 2010, the regional agencies adopted an extensive Public Participation Plan.
The document lays out the steps the
agencies will take to involve residents
in decisions affecting Bay Area trans-
portation and land-use policies.
Plan Bay Area workshops are being
scheduled in all nine counties in
spring 2011, and there will be
additional opportunities for public
engagement in the fall and through
adoption of Plan Bay Area in 2013.
The OneBayArea website is updated
regularly with notices and agendas
of upcoming meetings, hearings
and workshops, and other content.
For more information, contact us:
www.OneBayArea.org
510.817.5757
Follow us: facebook.com/OneBayArea twitter.com/OneBayArea
Launched by four regional agencies
— ABAG, MTC, BAAQMD and BCDC
— in 2010, OneBayArea is an acknowl-
edgment that we are stronger when
we join together — all 101 cities, nine
counties and 7 million of us! Through
this campaign we hope to address
environmental and economic chal-
lenges by harnessing our joint
creativity, resources and force of will.
The first collaboration under the
OneBayArea umbrella, Plan Bay Area
starts the conversation on how to
integrate land use and transportation.

The following updates were made in May 2011 to the June 2010 CEQA Guidelines: 2: Thresholds of Significance
- In table 2-1, updated the effective date for the risk and hazards threshold for new receptors.
- In section 2.2, clarified that GHG threshold is based on carbon dioxide equivalent emissions and not just CO2.
3: Screening Criteria
- In section 3.2, clarified that the screening values in Table 3-1 may not be applied as screening level sizes for risk and hazard impacts.
- In section 3.3, clarified that the carbon monoxide screening criteria do not apply to stationary source projects.
- In section 3.5.1, clarified that projects with demolition activities that are inconsistent with BAAQMD’s Regulation 11, rule: Asbestos Demolition, Renovation, and Manufacturing cannot be screened using the screening level in Table 3-1.
4: Operational-Related Impacts
- In section 4.2.1, page 4-5, clarified that the GHG threshold is based on carbon dioxide equivalent emissions; and clarified use of BGM as preferred model for estimating greenhouse gas emissions from a proposed land use project
5: Local Community Risk and Hazard Impacts
- Updated sections 5.2.6 and 5.2.7 to reflect the updated stationary source, highway, and roadway screening tools made available in May 2011.
6: Local Carbon Monoxide Impacts
- In section 6.1, clarified that the carbon monoxide screening criteria do not apply to stationary source projects and that potential carbon monoxide impacts from stationary sources should be modeled using AERMOD.
8: Assessing and Mitigation Construction-Related Impacts
- In section 8.1.1, removed Table 8-1.
Appendix B: Air Quality Modeling Instructions and Project Examples
- Pages B-11 to B-13, clarified the percent reductions that apply to construction mitigation measures and corrected references to tables and sections in the CEQA Guidelines.
Other minor editorial edits were made throughout the CEQA Guidelines as needed.

The San Francisco Bay shapes the area’s economy, culture, and landscape—supporting prosperous businesses, vibrant neighborhoods,
and productive ecosystems. Through visionary planning efforts, the Bay Area has preserved and protected this prosperity. Now, as the impacts of a changing climate are becoming clear, it is time to extend that vision to meeting the challenges of rising tides in San Francisco Bay.
The bay is rising and is projected to continue to rise. In fact, today’s flood is expected to be the high tide of the future. Areas that currently flood every ten to twenty years during extreme weather and tides will begin to flood regularly. These areas are home to over 250,000 residents, critical infrastructure, diverse habitats, and valuable community resources.
�����������������������Building on its regional assessment of Bay Area impacts from mid- and end-of-century sea level rise (titled Living With a Rising Bay), the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) has partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center (NOAA CSC) to work with Bay Area communities in
planning for sea level rise. The Adapting to Rising Tides (ART) project will be a collaborative effort involving community officials and stakeholders to address two specific questions:
How will sea level rise and other climate change impacts affect the future of Bay Area communities, ecosystems, infrastructure, and economy?
What strategies should we pursue, both locally and regionally, to address these challenges and reduce and manage these risks?

�����������'���!��(���)�� �����
SCS Summit 05/14/11 Attachment E
The timing and scope of the ART project could not be more appropriate. While rising tides in San Francisco Bay pose a serious challenge, the region is well positioned to demonstrate leadership and take tangible steps to protect the assets of the Bay and its shoreline. Some local efforts are already underway to address sea level rise and many more are just beginning.
Building on these existing efforts, the ART project will work with Bay Area communities to:
• Identify current and future vulnerabilities within a sub-region of the Bay Area.
• Evaluate strategies and tools to support community-based adaptation planning.
• Use the lessons learned to develop a regional adaptation planning process.
Communities have an opportunity to play a leadership role in finding solutions to the challenges of sea level rise. Actions taken today will provide benefits for decades to come. Please join BCDC and NOAA CSC in ensuring the continued vibrancy of the Bay Area and its communities.
�������*���+�,���������-�������.�����������Addressing climate change requires both mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation is critical, and the region is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; however, mitigation alone cannot serve as the region’s only climate strategy. No matter how successful mitigation efforts are, the greenhouse gas emissions of the past will result in impacts like sea level rise over the next half-century. Therefore, the region must consider adaptation actions that will reduce the vulnerability of the built and natural environment to the effects of climate change.

)(���1���'������The goal of the ART project is to increase the Bay Area’s resilience to sea level rise and climate change while protecting its environmental and economic assets

The East Bay Economic Development Alliance (East Bay EDA)– a
unique partnership of private and public sector leaders in the San
Francisco East Bay – helps make the East Bay one of the most
dynamic, globally competitive and sustainable business
environments in the world.
East Bay EDA brings to bear the leadership and collaborative
resources of all of its members: Alameda and Contra Costa counties,
28 cities, the Port of Oakland, the University of California Berkeley, all three national research
laboratories (LBNL, LLNL, and Sandia), California State University East Bay, all of the region’s
community colleges, chambers of commerce, labor organizations, non-profit and philanthropic
organizations, all of the special districts serving the East Bay, as well as dozens of the East Bay’s
largest companies.

which East Bay leaders collaborate to achieve their shared goal of a healthy, vibrant economy
able to create and sustain quality jobs.
