• Promote tree diversity on public and private lands, including establishment of diversity requirements as part of any development of commercial or multi -unit residential property. For example, incorporate the recommendations of the 2017 Capstone project and a) implement a "buddy tree" system; and b) restrict the planting of trees to less than 15% of similar family, less than 10 similar genus, and less than 5% of similar species for new plantings. • Create policies and procedures on proper tree planting for all city installations, and promote this to residents • Evaluate use of surmountable and ribbon curb with swales 2 Renewable Energy Renewable Energy Goal 1: The City of Roseville will rapidly transition to an energy system and economy that is powered by renewable clean energy, obtaining a minimum of 80% of all electric energy from renewable sources by 2040 with a minimum of 50% in on-site generation within the City. The City will establish interim goals every 5 to 10 years to assure City Renewable Energy levels track against this primary goal and to adjust policies and strategies as needed. The City's first interim goal is to increase City -Wide renewable energy sources to 40% by 2022 with 9% in on-site generation within the City. Future interim goals will be established by the City at the completion of the first interim timeframe. Renewable Energy Goal 2: In Support of Renewable Energy Goal 1, the City of Roseville will rapidly transition the City's facilities to an energy system powered by renewable clean energy, obtaining 100% of all electric energy from renewable sources by 2040 with a minimum of 30% in on-site generation at City properties. The City will establish interim goals every 5 to 10 years to assure City Facility Renewable Energy levels track against this primary goal and to adjust policies and strategies as needed. The City's first interim goal is to increase on-site renewable energy sources to GWH annually by 2022. Future interim goals will be established by the City at the completion of the first interim timeframe. To assist the City in establishing appropriate, realistic, and achievable Renewable Energy Goals for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan, we recommend that the City conduct a City Wide Renewable Energy Potentials Study and a City Facility Renewable Energy Potentials Study. These studies should be completed prior to finalization of Comprehensive Plan goals and should include: • Technical Capacity within the City. • Total Generation Capacity within the City. • Optimized / Cost Effective Generation Capacity within the City. • Market Trends and Market Capacity/ Absorption Potential within the City. • Renewable Energy Economic and Business Development Potential within the City. • Quantified Environmental Benefits of Renewable Energy within the City. • Renewable Energy Financing Mechanisms and Funding Sources. • Recommendations, Policy Strategies, and Next Steps. o By (year), city will transition fleet to electric -powered vehicles and maintenance equipment, starting with traditional passenger vehicles, then expanding to other types as technology matures. 3 Resilience Resilience Goal 1: The City of Roseville will conduct a Vulnerable Populations and Climate Adaptation Plan to establish short, and mid-range community climate resilience goals and strategies. The City will initiate the Vulnerable Populations and Climate Adaptation Plan no later than June 2018. The Study will include, as appropriate, the following components: • Quantification and GIS mapping of climate vulnerable populations including: Environmental Justice communities, indigenous peoples, people of color, residents with limited English capacity, unemployed and low-income residents, seniors, people with disabilities, individuals with existing health conditions, children under 5, and occupational groups at risk.
