Stockton adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) targeting greenhouse gas reductions consistent with California SB 32, focusing on transportation, buildings, and the Port industrial corridor along the Delta.
The Stockton CAP, updated alongside the General Plan 2040, sets community-wide GHG reduction targets aligned with statewide 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (SB 32). Strategies emphasize VMT reduction near downtown and UOP, building electrification, Port of Stockton truck and equipment cleanup coordinated with SJVAPCD, and renewable energy. CAP measures inform CEQA review and qualify projects for streamlined environmental analysis under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5 when consistent.
Inconsistency with CAP measures during CEQA review can trigger additional mitigation, project conditions, or full EIR analysis instead of streamlined review.
