San Bernardino County adopted a Climate Action Plan and updated Renewable Energy and Conservation Element setting greenhouse gas reduction targets aligned with California SB 32. New developments must demonstrate consistency with CAP measures during CEQA review.
The CAP establishes county-wide greenhouse gas inventories and reduction strategies covering transportation, energy, solid waste, and land use. Discretionary projects, including warehouse and logistics developments, must analyze consistency with CAP measures as part of California Environmental Quality Act review. The Renewable Energy and Conservation Element guides utility-scale solar and wind siting in Mojave Desert open lands while protecting tortoise and bighorn habitat. State law SB 32 requires a 40 percent greenhouse gas reduction below 1990 levels by 2030. Local jurisdictions implement through CAPs.
CAP inconsistency can trigger CEQA challenges, delayed approvals, additional mitigation conditions, or project denial by the Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors.
