Fresno's Climate Action Plan, adopted alongside the General Plan 2035, sets binding greenhouse gas reduction targets aligned with California Senate Bill 32 and requires consistency findings for major development projects citywide.
The Fresno Climate Action Plan establishes a roadmap to cut community greenhouse gas emissions to forty percent below 1990 levels by 2030, mirroring SB 32. New development over a defined threshold must demonstrate consistency with CAP measures during CEQA review, including building electrification readiness, transportation demand management, and tree canopy contributions. The plan covers municipal operations, transportation, energy, water, waste, and agriculture. Annual progress reports go to the city council. Failure to address CAP measures can delay entitlement approvals or trigger additional CEQA mitigation.
Projects inconsistent with CAP measures may face entitlement delays, additional CEQA mitigation, or denial by the planning commission and city council.
