Moorpark adopted a Climate Action Plan setting greenhouse gas reduction targets aligned with California SB 32 and AB 1279, requiring CEQA-tiered analysis for new development and outlining mitigation measures across transportation, energy, and waste.
The Moorpark CAP supports the General Plan and lets qualifying projects streamline CEQA greenhouse gas review by demonstrating consistency with city checklist measures. Strategies cover building electrification incentives, EV charging at new commercial development, urban tree canopy expansion, organics diversion under SB 1383, and active transportation upgrades. The CAP is reviewed periodically against state targets including 40 percent below 1990 emissions by 2030. Developers submitting site plans through Community Development must complete a CAP Consistency Checklist as part of their entitlement package.
Projects that fail the CAP checklist must perform project-specific GHG analysis under CEQA, which can delay entitlements or impose mitigation conditions before Planning Commission approval.
