*Any references in Forms P-30 (Climate Action Plan Consistency Checklist) and P-31 (Guidance to Demonstrating Consistency with the Climate Action Plan) that the City of Carlsbad Climate Action Plan is a “qualified CAP under CEQA” or that compliance with the CAP is sufficient to address California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Sections 15064(h)(3), 15130(d) and 15183.5(b) are currently not applicable. Due to an error in the CAP’s vehicle miles traveled calculations, staff are currently not assessing the greenhouse gas impacts of CEQA projects by using the CAP as a qualified GHG reduction plan under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b). Additional information may be found on the Climate Action Plan Update and Vehicle Miles Traveled Calculations staff report.
