Figure 3:CARB's 2017 Scoping Plan, Local Action Appendix(Mitigation Measures) 5 Construction - Enforce idling time restrictions for construction vehicles - Require construction vehicles to operate with the highest tier engines commercially available - Divert and recycle construction and demolition waste, and use locally-sourced building materials with a high recycled material content to the greatest extent feasible - Minimize tree removal, and mitigate indirect GHG emissions increases that occur due to vegetation removal, loss of sequestration, and soil disturbance - Utilize existing grid power for electric energy rather than operating temporary gasolineldiesel powered generators - Increase use of electric and renewable fuel powered construction equipment and require renewable diesel fuel where commercially available - Require diesel equipment fleets to be lower emitting than any current emission standard Operation Comply with lead agency's standards for mitigating transportation impacts under SB 743 Require on-site EV charging capabilities for parking spaces serving the project to meet jurisdicticn-wide EV proliferation goals Allow for new construction to install fewer on-site parking spaces than required by Iocal municipal building code, if appropriate4 Dedicate on-site parking for shared vehicles Provide adequate,safe,convenient, and secure on-site bicycle parking and storage in multi-family residential projects and in non-residential projects Provide on-and off-site safety improvements for bike,pedestrian, and transit connections, andler implement relevant improvements identified in an applicable bicycle and/or pedestrian master plan Require on-site renewable energy generation Prohibit wood-burning fireplaces in new development: and require replacement of wood-burning fireplaces for renovations over a certain size developments Require cool roofs and "cool parking"that promotes cool surface treatment for new parking facilities as well as existing surface lots undergoing resurfacing aaa Require the use of energy-efficient lighting for all street., parking. and area lighting Require the landscaping design for parking lots to utilize tree cover and compostlmulch Incorporate water retention in the design of parking lots anti landscaping, including using compostlmulch Require the development project to propose an off-site mitigation project which should generate carbon credits equivalent to the anticipated GHG emission reductions. This would be implemented via an approved protocol for carbon credits from California Air Pollution Control Officers Associatlon (CAPCOA), the California Air Resources Board, or other similar entities determined acceptable by the local air district - Require the project to purchase carbon credits from the CAPCOA GHG Reduction Exchange Program,American Carbon Registry(ACR), Climate Action Reserve (CAR)or other similar cartoon credit registry determined to be acceptable by the local air district Encourage the applicant to consider generating or purchasing local and California-only carbon credits as the preferred mechanism to implement its off- site mitigation measure for GHG emissions and that will facilitate the State's efforts in achieving the GHG emission reduction goal 5 Ibid.
