Background
Pathway to a Carbon-neutral Cupertino
Energy Measures
BE-1 Reduce non-SVCE usage rate to 2% for residential and 10% for
commercial by 2030 and maintain through 2040
BE-2
Electrify existing residential buildings to reduce annual residential natural
gas usage from 129 therms per person in 2018 to at most 71 therms per
person in 2030 and 16 therms per person in 2040
BE-3
Electrify existing commercial buildings to reduce annual commercial
natural gas usage from 119 therms per person in 2018 to at most 90
therms per person in 2030 and 54 therms per person in 2040
BE-4 Require new residential and commercial development to be all-electric
at time of construction
BE-5 Develop specific requirements for procurement of carbon-free fuels in
lieu of natural gas for new projects that cannot be electrified
Transportation and Land Use Measures
TR-1 Develop and implement an Active Transportation Plan to achieve 15%
of active transportation mode share by 2030 and 23% by 2040
TR-2 Implement public and shared transit programs to achieve 29% of public
transit mode share by 2030 and maintain through 2040
TR-3
Increase zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption to 35% for passenger
vehicles and 20% for commercial vehicles by 2030 and 100% for all
vehicles by 2040
TR-4
Re-focus transportation infrastructure away from single-occupancy
gasoline vehicles to support the bicycle/pedestrian, public transit, and
ZEV goals of Measures TR-1, TR-2, and TR-3
TR-5 Electrify or otherwise decarbonize 34% of off-road equipment by 2030
and 35% by 2040
Zero Waste and Water Measures
W-1
Implement SB 1383 requirements and reduce communitywide
landfilled organics 75% by 2025 and inorganic waste 35% by 2030
and reduce all waste 90% by 2040
W-2 Reduce overall waste disposed to garbage, recycling, and compost
per capita by 15% by 2035
W-3
Meet or exceed the SB 1383 recycled organics products
procurement requirements and sequester or avoid at least 0.018 MT
CO2e per person by through 2045
WW-1 Reduce per capita water consumption 15% compared to 2019 levels
by 2030 and maintain through 2040
WW-2 Support the SJ-SC RWF in implementing GHG emissions reduction
projects
Nature and Adaptation Measures
CS-1 Increase carbon sequestration through tree planting by developing
and implementing an Urban Forest Management Plan
CS-2 Leverage the carbon sequestration potential of open space and
carbon removal
AR-1
Increase usage of natural infrastructure solutions such as bioswales,
rainwater storage systems, and permeable pavements to enhance
infrastructure resiliency
AR-2 Bolster emergency preparedness and response by integrating
climate adaptation and improving climate-related communications
AR-3 Strengthen community capacity and resilience through education,
resources, and policies
AR-4 Update the Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan in coordination
with the County of Santa Clara
