Structure of GHG Reduction Measures, As part of the CAP Update process, the City developed a comprehensive set of measures to reduce communitywide GHG emissions and achieve the City’s climate action targets. Each measure is supported by a set of actions that provide measurable GHG emissions reduction that is supported by substantial evidence. The City also developed a set of measures and actions for offsetting GHG emissions through…, Sectors, . Sectors define the GHG emissions category in which the GHG reductions will take place and include Building Energy, Transportation, Solid Waste, Water and Wastewater, and Carbon Sequestration., Measures., Measures identify specific goals (i.e., activity data targets by 2030 and 2045) to address GHG emissions in each sector., Actions., Actions identify the programs, policies, funding pathways, and other specific commitments that the City will implement. Each measure contains a suite of actions, which together have been designed to accomplish the measure goal., Type of GHG Reduction Measures, Measures and actions can be either quantitative or supportive, depending on whether they directly result in GHG emissions reductions or support direct reductions., Quantitative., Quantitative measures and actions result in GHG emissions reductions that can be quantified and summed to show how Hayward will make progress towards and meet its climate action targets. The emissions reductions expected from implementation of these measures and actions are supported by substantial evidence such as peer-reviewed research that establishes their effectiveness for reducing GHG…, Supportive., Supportive measures and actions are critical to the overall success of a CAP and provide support so that the quantitative measures and actions will be successfully and equitably implemented. Though these measures and actions may also be quantifiable and have substantial evidence to support their overall contribution to GHG reduction, they are not quantified for one or more factors – including a…, CAP Measures Cost Ranges, Climate action plans exhibit high variability in implementation costs depending on the GHG emissions reduction measures identified, their level of specificity, and the accompanying funding and financing strategies, which may vary depending on the scope of the project. The cost range estimates are based on cost data derived from existing and past projects, case studies, and available research. For…, Table 10: Cost Categories, COST CATEGORIES CITY COMMUNITY Low-Cost Goals associated with low upfront costs and will only require staff time to implement, such as: • Developing partnerships • Policy Updates • Community Outreach Goals associated with low upfront costs compared to existing alternatives, such as: • Additional energy bill costs for renewable energy compared to fossil fuel-based energy Moderate-Cost Goals…, Key Pillars of GHG Reduction Measures, Community-focused climate action often requires community-level behavioral changes and buy-in to be implementable and successful.

To position a CAP to best achieve the City’s targets, the actions supporting each measure were developed to be consistent with a set of key pillars. Each key pillar…, Structural Change., Includes ordinances, codes, requirements, new programs, pilot programs, or other policy that provides some guarantee of behavior change going forward. Structural change actions are usually quantitative actions and provide the GHG emissions reduction mechanism for the associated measure to be effective., Feasibility Studies., Includes feasibility studies, City-led plans, or other investigative or strategy documents that help the City develop a strategy for measure or action implementation, especially for measures or actions that are more controversial or complicated., Funding., Includes grants, rebates, financing, and other capital avenues for ensuring that the associated measure’s costs are supported., Equity., Includes actions to mitigate potential equity impacts of other actions, such as re- investment into underserved communities, or policies and programs to protect against an increased potential for displacement or increased cost burdens in the community. Equity actions help ensure the overall measure and approach can pass the equity guardrails, as described in, Section 5, ., Education., Includes outreach, educational events, and engagement campaigns to incentivize community participation in the CAP and the new programs, policies, and incentives that have the potential to move the needle on GHG reductions., Partnerships., Includes actions that focus on partnerships with community-based organizations, other public agencies, and private-sector partners to create new programs the City cannot achieve alone., Co-Benefits of GHG Reduction Measures, Climate action measures will also produce additional co-benefits beyond GHG emissions reductions that the community will see from implementing the CAP. These co-benefits will have long-term positive impacts that will help Hayward reach its community goals. The co-benefits identified for each CAP Update measure include the following., Improved Health and Safety: , Developing a healthier community with reduced respiratory illnesses through improving both indoor and outdoor air quality, enhancing overall safety and property protection by bolstering adaptive capacity, and elevating quality of life by fostering more avenues for physical activity, increasing access to green spaces, and maintaining thermal comfort., Climate Change Resilience: , Increased ability of community to prepare for, mitigate, and recover from climate hazards including extreme heat, sea level rise, flooding, wildfire, landslides, and drought., Environmental Quality & Ecosystem Services:, Actions that improve the health of local ecosystems can also result in a variety of public benefits including reducing pollutants in local creeks and runoff to the bay, providing species habitat which supports a more biodiverse landscape, improving water and air quality, reducing local flood risk, and providing recreation benefits for the community enjoyment., Sustainable Land Use Planning:, Through alignment with CEQA and the Housing Element Update, this CAP can help focus development in a manner that enhances human-centered economic corridors including transit-oriented development.

In 2015 an interdepartmental team participated in a regional effort to update Local Hazard Mitigation Plans led by the, Association of Bay Area Governments, (ABAG). One result of that regional effort was the 2015 Hayward LHMP (completed in 2016). This 2021 document is the required five-year update of the original Hayward LHMP, now referred to as the Hayward Local Resilience Plan (LRP). This plan has been developed in accordance with and with the authority granted by the, U.S. Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, , which amended the Stafford Act to require state, local, and tribal governments to develop and submit hazard mitigation plans for approval by the, Federal Emergency Management Agency, (FEMA). The purpose of Hayward's (LRP) is to assess hazard risks and asset vulnerability in the City of Hayward and use that information to identify strategies to reduce future losses from natural hazards. The 2021 LRP serves as a guiding document for the City’s hazard mitigation activities and was developed in fulfillment of and alignment with the City Council’s “Safe” priority and informed by…, Community Safety Element, and, Hazards Element, goals. The Hayward City Council specifically prioritizes making and keeping the city safe, clean, green, and thriving.

The 2021 LRP update will be adopted as an appendix to the Hazards Element of the, 2040 Hayward General Plan, . Under the Disaster Mitigation Act, plans must describe the processes for identifying natural hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities of the jurisdiction. Localities that approve and adopt a hazard mitigation plan are eligible for FEMA mitigation grants, points toward the National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System, and a waiver of Public Assistance matching funds requirements. …
