BACKGROUND
In April 2016, the City Council adopted the goal of reducing GHG emissions 80% below 1990
levels by 2030 (the “80 x 20” goal),1 and in October 2022 the City Council adopted the
ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.2 Staff, with community and City Council
input, referred to the 2016 Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) Framework and 2018-
2020 Sustainability Implementation Plan to create a comprehensive S/CAP and Three-Year
S/CAP workplan.3 In June 2023, Council adopted the 2022 Sustainability and Climate Action
Plan, certified the Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Report Addendum: Update to the
Sustainability and Climate Action Plan, and accepted the 2023-2025 S/CAP Workplan.
The S/CAP is an ambitious plan to reduce the City and community’s GHG emissions, while also
guiding how Palo Alto uses land and natural resources in ways that ensure quality of life for
future generations. The S/CAP aligns with several goals of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
Implementation Plan. All previous S/CAP Implementation progress reports can be found in the
Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) Program Reports section of the Sustainability
Actions and Accomplishments page of the City website.4 The 2022 S/CAP and 2023-2025 S/CAP
Work Plan align closely with one of the four City Council Priorities for calendar year 2025:
“Climate Action and Adaptation, and Natural Environment Protection.” In addition, there are
several overlapping City Council Priority Objectives, the status of which can be found in the
2025 City Council Priority Objectives Q4 Report presented to Council on January 12, 2026.5 This
report references the City Council Priority Objectives in parentheses where applicable.

ANALYSIS
The City is committed to a sustainable future. The City owns, operates, and maintains a full-
service utilities portfolio that provides electric, natural gas, fiber, water, refuse, and wastewater
services to residents and businesses in Palo Alto. Palo Alto’s continued leadership in advancing
sustainability commitments has succeeded mainly because of the continued collaboration of
community stakeholders, City departments, and the leadership of the City Council.
The S/CAP Goals and Key Actions are divided into eight areas, four of which are climate-focused
and include actions to achieve the City’s 80 x 30 and carbon neutrality by 2030 goals (Climate
Action, Energy, Electric Vehicles, and Mobility) and four of which are focused on actions that
create a sustainable natural environment and adapting to a warming climate (Water, Climate
Adaptation and Sea Level Rise, Natural Environment, and Zero Waste). The Work Plan is
similarly divided between climate-focused and sustainability-focused priorities.
There are 23 City Council Priority Objectives in the 2025 City Council Priority Area Climate
Action and Adaptation, & Natural Environment Protection (CA).11 This report addresses 18 of
those City Council Priority Objectives, as well as one in City Council Priority Area Economic
Development & Retail Vibrancy (ED), three in Implementing Housing Strategies for Social &
Economic Balance (IHS), and one in Public Safety, Wellness & Belonging (PS), as shown in Table
1. One CA City Council Priority, "Implement plan for phaseout of leaded fuel at Palo Alto
Airport,” was not addressed in the 2023-2025 S/CAP Implementation Work Plan.

Climate Action
Covering the S/CAP Areas of Climate Action, Energy, Electric Vehicles, and Mobility, this section
reports on progress based on the Work Plan Climate Action Priority areas. This includes five
priorities with various work items under each priority. This report notes where these work
items have been designated as City Council Priority Objectives.
P1. Grid Modernization
P2. Launch Programs
P2.1 Residential Emissions Reduction
P2.2 Non-Residential Emissions Reduction
P2.3 Citywide Mobility
P2.4 Municipal Electrification
P2.5 Electric Vehicle (EV) Strategic Plan
P3. Build Awareness and Confidence
P4. Additional Emissions Reductions
P5. Funding Needs and Sources
P1. Grid Modernization
Electric grid reliability and resilience will be important to inspire confidence in electrified homes
and vehicles. The focus of Priority 1 is to preserve and enhance reliability, modernize the
electric grid and replace aging infrastructure, increase electric grid capacity to accommodate
electrification, and explore ways to enhance resiliency.
Grid Modernization (Work Plan Item 1A; Council Priority Objective CA 1): Staff has been
evaluating results from a pilot project that replaced and upgraded aging infrastructure serving
approximately 1000 residents before determining how to most cost-efficiently continue the
project. Staff is gathering feedback from the Utilities Advisory Commission (UAC) and Climate
Action and Sustainability Committee (CASC) about the costs, pros, and cons of different
approaches to grid modernization (a proactive replacement approach or a flexible approach of
replacing as capacity is needed). More detail on these proposals can be found in the January 7,
2026 report to the UAC.13
Reliability & Resiliency Strategic Plan (Work Plan Items 1B, 1C; Council Priority Objective CA 4):
In April 2024, the City Council accepted the Reliability and Resiliency Strategic Plan (RRSP). Staff
has been implementing the plan and providing status updates to the UAC and CASC. The most
recent updates to these bodies were December 3, 2025 and November 20, 2025
respectively.14,15 A status update will be provided to the City Council in March 2026.

Few technologies analyzed showed a positive cost-benefit result that would merit incentives,
but the CASC and the UAC identified the need for a continued focus on outreach, regular
updates to the analysis as costs and benefits may change, and barrier reduction in the areas of
permitting, interconnection, and other barriers. The City Council will consider
recommendations from the CASC and the UAC in March.
Utility Rates and Fees (Work Plan Item 1D; Council Priority Objective CA 5): The City is on track
to complete the advanced metering infrastructure project by the end of 2026. On June 4, 2025,
the UAC recommended approval of time of use rates that customers could use to achieve
savings by moving electric consumption to times of lower cost electricity.23 Modifications to
transformer upgrade fees were adopted in late 2025 to avoid situations where the resident
who triggers a transformer upgrade would pay the entire cost of that upgrade.24
P2. Launch Programs
The focus of Priority 2 is to launch effective programs for emissions reductions with the highest
impact and lowest cost such as single-family electrification, strategic promotion of EVs,
commercial rooftop HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and expanded
transportation alternatives.
P2.1. Residential Emissions Reduction: The goals for residential emissions reduction embodied
in the Work Plan include encouraging electric vehicle (EV) adoption for all residents, helping
multi-family residents access EV charging, and facilitating building electrification of single-family
homes and multi-family affordable housing.
Advanced Heat Pump Water Heater Pilot (Work Plan Items 2.1D, 2.1E): The City launched the
Advanced Heat Pump Water Heater Pilot Program in March 2023 with the goal to install 1,000
heat pump water heaters (HPWH). The City launched a new Emergency Water Heater
Replacement program in September 2024. As of December 31, 2025, 745 residents had either
completed installations or signed contracts to get a heat pump water heater installed through
the City’s programs, with 100 of these projects applying for on-bill financing. The City has
completed around 250 water heater conversions per year through the Advanced HPWH Pilot
Program, equivalent to almost 20% of the water heaters estimated to be replaced each year. In
addition, the City and State Energy Reach Codes encourage new construction and major
renovations to be built all-electric, which adds another 100-200 new heat pump water heaters
each year.25 The rate of HPWH retrofits has slowed in 2025 compared to the first year and a
half of the program. The pilot has moved past the early adopters after the first 18 months.

Because the next wave of customers tends to be more cost-conscious and/or have more
complex projects, they will need additional incentives or support to make the switch.
Innovative marketing: launched a HPWH Giveaway campaign on Earth Day with the
prize of a free HPWH installation to encourage residents to install a HPWH, as well as a
new Refer-a-Neighbor program launched in October. Water Heater Safety stickers were
mailed out in December, promoting the emergency replacement program.
Facilitate rebate applications: continued the Rebate Hub that was launched the first half
of 2025.
Expert Consultation: continued the free expert consultation program that was launched
in the first half of 2025 to help residents complete installations.
Customer outreach: promoted HPWHs at community events and hosted two webinars
on home electrification. The City also rented an “All-Electric Dream Home” display for
the Municipal Service Center Open House in July, with over 200 residents touring this
life-sized model. Ongoing outreach includes promotions through the City’s social media
channels as well as Google ad campaigns.
Whole Home Electrification (Work Plan Items 2.1G, 2.1H; Council Priority Objective CA 34): The
City is launching its whole home electrification program in two phases. The first phase,
launched in January 2025, offers new rebates and a contractor directory through the Rebate
Hub, an online home electrification assessment tool, free phone consultation with an
electrification expert, and financing through the state’s GoGreen program. As of December 31,
2025, the City had processed rebates for 89 heat pump HVAC projects, 17 electric
panel upgrades, and 19 gas meter removal incentives. Additionally, 152 customers have
completed the online home electrification assessment. The City expects to soft launch phase
two in early 2026, with a full launch planned in spring 2026.
Electric Vehicles and Charging (Work Plan Items 2.1A, 2.1C, 2.1J; Council Priority Objective CA
19): The City’s promotion of EV adoption and expansion of multi-family EV infrastructure
continued. To promote the benefits of clean driving, the City offered 12 free EV activities to the
public and one EV educational webinar for City staff in Q3 and Q4 2025. Over 1,150 people
attended six online webinars about EVs and incentives. Events in Q3 and Q4 consisted of two
new EV discount programs; two in-person EV and e-bike showcases at City facilities; two in-
person EV showcases at community-gathering events; and three in-person EV workshop and
showcase events at affordable housing properties. The City plans to continue offering
additional EV showcases, free workshops, webinars, and discount programs in 2026, with a
focus on residents at multi-family market-rate and affordable housing properties.
properties representing 1,324 housing units (about 12.4% of all multi-family units in Palo Alto)
have installed a total of 325 EV charging ports and 48 EV-ready spaces (i.e. infrastructure to
support additional charger installation at a later date) facilitated through the City's EV
programs. Another 13 multi-family projects are in the permitting and installation phases and an
additional 22 are in the project design phase (representing a total additional 1,753 residential
units).
29 The EV 2.0 design guidelines are focused on:
financial models aimed at scaling installations communitywide;
serving different types of multi-family buildings with different levels of EV adoption
utilizing a variety of EV charging technologies;
deploying shared charging at low levels of adoption and individual chargers where
demand supports them;
grid-friendly installations and inclusion of active and shared transportation facilities
where appropriate; and
complementary programming to help drive adoption of e-mobility and use of active and
shared transportation.
Affordable Housing Electrification (Work Plan Item 2.1I; Council Priority Objective CA 19): The
City continues to engage with multi-family affordable housing providers in Palo Alto on building
electrification and EV charging. The City is working to design a program to provide incentives
for electrification of dedicated affordable multi-family housing central and in-unit gas
equipment, with program launch targeted in early 2026. As part of this effort, the City is
coordinating with the State’s Low-Income Weatherization Program (LIWP) to align program
enrollment processes and eligibility requirements and allow projects to leverage program
technical assistance and LIWP incentives for energy efficiency and electrification alongside the
City’s incentives planned to the greatest extent possible.

https://recordsportal.paloalto.gov/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=83873&dbid=0&repo=PaloAlto
customers received a site assessment for a HPWH and are awaiting installation. Fourteen REAP
customers received energy and water efficiency upgrades.
P2.2. Non-Residential Emissions Reduction: The goals for non-residential emissions reduction
embodied in the Work Plan include encouraging electrification of rooftop packaged HVAC units
in commercial buildings, developing custom partnerships with major employers, and
developing strategies to promote lower emissions commuting.
Rooftop Packaged HVAC (Work Plan Items 2.2A, 2.2B; Council Priority Objective CA 24): In
September 2024 the City launched an update to the commercial heat pump HVAC pilot with the
goal of collecting additional data to inform the design of an advanced pilot program. To achieve
this goal, the City is offering enhanced incentives to a limited group of 10 customers. In return,
these customers are required to gather and provide detailed cost and project information to
the City. Businesses that prefer not to share this data can still participate in the program at the
original incentive level.
31 To ensure the program is cost-effective, legally
viable, and scalable, the guidelines prioritize providing financing rather than up-front
incentives, without increasing tenant utility bills. To facilitate electrification of nonresidential
packaged HVAC units, staff will explore streamlining the permit process, providing technical and
permitting assistance to program participants, developing a courtesy contractor list, and
providing support to contractors on program rules.
Major Employer Partnerships (Work Plan Item 2.2C): This work plan item focuses on building
strategic partnerships with major employers to advance emissions reductions and support key
facility projects across the community. At PAUSD, electrification efforts continue to advance
meaningful decarbonization in school facilities. The ongoing heat pump retrofit project at El
Carmelo Elementary School is replacing aging gas systems with high-efficiency electric
equipment and is paired with domestic hot water system upgrades to further reduce fossil fuel
reliance and improve site resiliency. Stanford Health Care and Stanford School of Medicine,
which are within the City of Palo Alto and served by Palo Alto Utilities, also completed multiple
high impact projects across the medical campus and surrounding facilities. Recent projects
include extensive LED lighting upgrades at 900 Blake Wilbur, 875 Blake Wilbur, and multiple
locations at Stanford Hospital, improving lighting quality while delivering substantial long-term
electricity savings. Additional Stanford Health Care and Stanford School of Medicine campus

measures included chilled water system optimization, new building pumping controls, and
chiller replacement each improving system efficiency, lowering operational energy use, and
reducing lifecycle maintenance costs.
Commuter/Visitor Emissions Reduction (Work Plan Items 2.2D, 2.2E): Following the adoption of
the E- Mobility Strategic Roadmap (formerly titled “Electric Vehicle Strategic Plan” - see Priority
2.5, below) in the fall of 2025,33 the City plans to proceed with this work item in 2026. Work on
commuter/visitor emissions reduction will be coordinated with updated multi-family EV
charging programs.
P2.3. Citywide Mobility: The goals for citywide mobility embodied in the Work Plan include both
transportation-focused and land-use focused actions.
Transportation and Land Use Policies and Programs (Work Plan Item 2.3A; Council Priority
Objectives IHS 40, IHS 53): The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program carried out a successful
bike rodeo season in fall 2025 and recruited a new Safe Routes to School planner to fill a
vacancy. The City made significant progress on two plans that are expected to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions while also implementing the Housing Element.34 In Q3 and Q4 2025,
staff moved forward the San Antonio Road Area Plan, which will guide redevelopment of a
portion of the Bayshore Alma San Antonio Priority Development Area. The San Antonio Road
Area Plan envisions creating cohesive mixed-use neighborhoods with improved mobility and
interconnectivity when compared with existing conditions. The resulting integrated
transportation network in the plan area is anticipated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
the use of single-occupancy motor vehicles. Q3 included community engagement on initial plan
goals, including discussions with the Planning and Transportation Commission, Architecture

Review Board, Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee, and City School Transportation
Safety Committee. Feedback was also sought from the Community and Technical Advisory
Groups. Q4 activities included a community workshop, online survey, and study session with
City Council. Following the initial community feedback, the project team began developing
transportation and land use alternatives to discuss with the public in 2026.
Housing Element Adoption and Implementation (Work Plan Items 2.3C; Council Priority
Objective IHS 44 and IHS 42): The City has made considerable progress in implementing the 110
program objectives in the 2023-2031 Housing Element. Implementation activities in Q3 and Q4
2025 include:
In the second half of 2025, the City used grant-funded technical analysis to consider
housing options for a future affordable housing development on land to be dedicated to
the City from the 2023 Sobrato/City Development Agreement. City Council reviewed
findings from the analysis on November 17, 2025.37 Based on City Council feedback, a
draft RFP will be prepared for future City Council consideration.
The City Council provided informal feedback on Alta Housing’s project proposal during a
study session on October 22, 2025.38 Alta Housing and the City jointly hosted a
community meeting to gather further project input on December 1, 2025. The proposed
fully affordable housing project would develop a surface parking lot within one-half mile
of the downtown Palo Alto Caltrain station into a 72-unit community serving families.
Alta Housing intends to submit its formal planning application in January 2026.
Staff made progress in 2025 towards implementing Program 6.5B of the Housing
Element, which envisions creating zoning incentives or updating development standards
to support various housing typologies, including micro-units, intergenerational housing,

aging adults, students, and lower-income units.41 Stakeholder outreach was completed
in July 2025, and an analysis of opportunities and challenges was prepared in August
2025. The project team is currently refining the alternative approaches to be presented
to the Architectural Review Board and the Planning and Transportation Commission in
early 2026.
Last Mile Solutions (Work Plan Items 2.3D, 2.3E; Council Priority Objectives CA 15, CA 18): The
Office of Transportation continues to conduct the Shared Micromobility Feasibility study to
understand local demand for micromobility and to identify if a micromobility program would be
financially sustainable for the City. The study is scheduled to be completed in early 2026, after
which staff will report on the study’s findings. The City Council previously approved a one-year
micromobility pilot program, but the program was not implemented at the time due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and staffing limitations.42
Bicycling Improvements (Work Plan Items 2.3A, 2.3F, 2.3G; Council Priority Objectives CA 13, CA
15, CA 16, CA 17):
After staff incorporated input on draft recommendations for the 2026 Bicycle and Pedestrian
Transportation Plan (BPTP) Update from the public, the Policy and Services Committee, and the
Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee, the City Council reviewed the Draft Plan and near-
term projects on December 1, 2025.43 City staff is now reviewing community and City Council
feedback and preparing the Final 2026 BPTP Update document for presentation to the City
Council in spring 2026.
The City will begin procurement for a transportation planning firm to finalize the South Palo
Alto Bikeways Demonstration Project street design when a project manager has been recruited
to fill a recent vacancy.
The South Palo Alto Bike/Ped Connectivity Project will identify locations and design concepts
where new grade-separated bicycle and pedestrian pathways across the Caltrain corridor may
be constructed in south Palo Alto (south of Oregon Expressway). Creating a path above or
below the tracks will improve bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in support of the mobility and
sustainability goals of the City. On December 1, 2025, the City Council reviewed eight
shortlisted alternatives for the South Palo Alto Bike/Ped Connectivity Project and, based on
recommendations from the Rail Committee and Staff, selected Alternative A (a crossing near El
Dorado Avenue) as the preferred alternative, eliminating all other options from further

consideration.47 Two variants of Alternative A were advanced: A1 (signalized crossing of Alma
Street at El Dorado Avenue) and A2 (tunnel under both Alma Street and the Caltrain tracks).
The City Council passed a motion to focus evaluations on Alternatives A1 and A2, with a
preference for A2. Staff will continue to focus evaluations on Alternatives A1 and A2,
prioritizing Alternative A2 as directed by the City Council. Additional community engagement
activities are planned for early 2026 to support the decision-making process and incorporate
public feedback on the alternatives in the vicinity of El Dorado Avenue.
Transportation Demand Management (Work Plan Item 2.3H): In 2025, the Palo Alto
Transportation Management Association (PATMA) conducted essential outreach to businesses
on El Camino Real regarding available transit, bike, and parking programs to support businesses
following the parking changes to the corridor as part of the Caltrans repaving project, as funded
by a $25,000 Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Transit Oriented Communities
Grant. In coordination with other local sustainable transportation advocates, PATMA held
summertime community bike rides along the new protected bike lanes of El Camino Real with
turnouts of 8-20 cyclists per week. PATMA completed an e-bike and e-scooter pilot program for
five participants with funding from the City. In the fall, PATMA administered a commute survey
for 2025 and received 920 completed responses with findings helping to shape programs in
2026. In 2025, PATMA distributed 38 free transit passes to workers at businesses along El
Camino Real and 104 to workers at the Stanford Mall encouraging sustainable commutes. By
the end of 2025, 453 workers in Palo Alto were using train and/or bus passes from PATMA.
Parking (Work Plan Items 2.3I, 2.3J): The City and contractors continued installing Automated
Parking Guidance Systems in downtown garages, which seek to limit the time that drivers spend
circulating to find parking. Installation in the Civic Center Garage began in January 2025.
Community engagement regarding proposed enhancements to parking facilities will proceed in
early 2026, following the start of a new parking permit management vendor contract.48
Traffic Signals (Work Plan Item 2.3K): The City continually monitors, maintains, and optimizes
traffic signal operations, and addresses concerns from the community daily. As funding and
staffing allow, the City also works on a variety of capital improvement program projects to
update and upgrade the current traffic signal network and keep up with changing standards,
modernization, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies. These improvements
are a key component to optimizing operations to reduce delays and GHG emissions from idling.

In Q3 and Q4 of 2025, the City made substantial progress on several projects and has
completed modifications at the intersection of Alma Road/Churchill Avenue. The City
completed procurement and testing and started installation/construction of hardware
upgrades for systems at four intersections along Quarry Road. Included with the traffic signal
program, the City has made vehicular safety and visibility upgrades and procured accessible
pedestrian system push buttons to be installed in 2026. These pedestrian crossing
improvements are essential in encouraging walking and alternative modes of transportation.
The City also started the procurement process for updating the network communication
switches for the city-wide traffic signal network.
Mobility Hub (Work Plan Item 2.3D; Council Priority Objectives CA 12, ED 31): The City is working
with Stanford University to initiate the design phase of the Quarry Road Transit Connection
project that would reduce travel time to access the Palo Alto Transit Center. A cost-sharing
agreement between Stanford and the City has enabled project design kick-off. Grant funding
from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and coordination with Caltrans are being
pursued next to complete project design of the extension of Quarry Road between El Camino
Real and the Transit Center. Separately, VTA has convened the Palo Alto University Avenue
Mobility Hub Ad Hoc Committee to explore short- and long-term active transportation and
other improvements to the Palo Alto Transit Center to activate the space.
P2.4. Municipal Electrification: The City’s municipal electrification efforts include both facility
and fleet electrification and are intended to show the community that the City will participate
in the same electrification efforts it is encouraging the community to undertake.
Facility Electrification (Work Plan Items 2.4A, 2.4B, 2.4C; Council Priority Objective CA 20): The
City has reviewed the Facility Electrification Assessment reports and supporting data to identify
five facilities for the initial Facility Electrification pilot program. This pilot is intended to validate
electrification delivery methods, evaluate logistical and construction challenges, and identify
best practices for future facility conversions. Outcomes from the pilot will help refine project
scoping, scheduling, and procurement strategies, strengthening the City’s long-term facility
electrification planning.
Shop/Restaurant, Ventura Community Center, Art Center, Downtown Library, and College
Terrace Library.51
Fleet Electrification (Work Plan Items 2.4D, 2.4E): In Q3, the City replaced three internal
combustion engine vehicles with four electric vehicles, consisting of one Ford E-Transit and
three Chevrolet Silverado EVs. In Q4, two additional internal combustion engine vehicles were
replaced with two Ford E-Transit EVs. As a result, the City fleet now includes 41 active electric
vehicles, representing approximately 16% of passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks and vans.
Publicly Owned Charger Planning (Work Plan Item 2.4F): There is no change in the number of
City-owned chargers or charger ports since the previous S/CAP Progress Report.52 The e-
Mobility Strategic Roadmap, accepted by the City Council in August 2025,53 will guide future
publicly owned charger planning.
P2.5. E-Mobility Strategic Plan (CA 18): The City Council accepted the e-Mobility Strategic
Roadmap (formerly the EV Strategic Plan) in August 2025 following the CASC
recommendation.54 The Roadmap will guide the promotion of e-mobility citywide and the
integration of e-mobility into other City efforts, such as active transportation efforts. It was
informed by the EV Charger Needs Assessment. A review of e-mobility electric grid impacts, EV
charging benefits, mitigation strategies, and opportunities has been incorporated into the
Reliability and Resiliency Strategic Plan (see Priority 1, Work Plan Items 1B/1C, above).55
P3. Build Awareness and Confidence
Building Awareness of the Need for and Benefits of Climate Action (Work Plan Item 3.1A): The
City continues to publish a monthly Climate Action Blog and Quarterly Sustainability
Newsletter. In Q3 and Q4 2025, the City published Climate Blogs in July, September, October,
November, and December, and Sustainability Newsletters in August and October. Historically,
the Sustainability Newsletters have an average 56% open rate, which is the percentage of
readers that open the e-mail sent to them. The average open rate for government e-
newsletters is 19.4%.56

63 Participants discussed the insights from the S/CAP Funding Study, challenges it
highlighted about community-wide electrification, and ideas being discussed around the region
and among City staff to meet those challenges. There were 27 attendees (not including staff
and Committee members), which included five students (high school and college) and a staff
member from the Bay Area Air District. Staff and the Committee members heard a lot of great
ideas about strategies for expanding electrification in Palo Alto that staff is eager to engage
with in 2026, as well as positive feedback from attendees and Committee members who found
the workshop engaging.
S/CAP Reporting and Surveys (Work Plan Items 3.1C, 3.1D): The City continues to calculate an
annual GHG emissions inventory. Both the 2023 and 2024 GHG emissions inventories will be
presented to the City Council in March, 2026.

Council will receive the reports in March, 2026.
Water: Further Water Conservation
Maximize Water Conservation and Efficiency (Work Plan Item 8.A): The City has offered an
online water management tool, WaterSmart, to customers since 2022. The tool provides
information on water consumption and personalized water conservation recommendations. As
of December 2025, 36% of all single-family customers have accessed the portal – an increase
from 33% as of June 2025. On a monthly basis, all single-family customers receive home water
reports via email or regular mail if an email is not on file. The average open rate of home water
report emails is 70%. Home water reports result in residential water savings of approximately
26.2 MG (3% savings) annually.
Design and build a salt removal facility for the Regional Water Quality Control Plant (Work Plan
Item 8.B): The City Council approved the construction contract for the Local Advanced Water
Purification System Project at the Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) in May,67 and
the Project began construction in June 2025. Once construction is complete, the Project will
improve recycled water quality by blending reverse osmosis permeate to encourage expanded
use of recycled water for non-potable uses such as irrigation.

Develop a “One Water” Portfolio for Palo Alto (Work Plan Item 8.C) and develop a tool for
dynamic water planning in the future (Work Plan Item 8.D): The City has completed both of
these items. Staff developed an Excel-based tool for water planning as part of One Water Plan
development. The results of these efforts, including feedback from the Utilities Advisory
Commission, were presented to CASC on September 19, 2025.71 The City Council received the
One Water Plan as an information report on October 20, 2025.72
Climate Adaptation and Sea Level Rise: Prepare for Climate Change
Foothills Fire Management Plan and Collaboration on Reducing Wildfire Hazards (Work Plan
Items 8.K, 8.L, 8.M, 8.N; Council Priority Objective PS 58): The City Council accepted the final
2025 Community Wildfire Protection Plan on November 3, 2025. The Foothills Fire
Management Plan is now encompassed within the Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Also on
November 3, the City Council received the Wildfire Preparedness Audit, with recommendations
across many departments that the City could enact to make improvements to this program.73
In the second half of 2025, the City began planning the fire mitigation work for calendar year
2026 in collaboration with Los Altos Hills County Fire District, the Woodside Fire Protection
District, as well as the Santa Clara County Firesafe Council (SCCFSC) and the San Mateo County
Fire Safe Council. Additionally, staff extended the City’s contractual relationship with the
SCCFSC to enable them to perform directed fire management tasks prescribed by the Foothills
Fire Management Plan. The SSCFSC sub-contracted the fuel reduction/fire mitigation of
Arastradero and Los Trancos Roads in August 2025, and Page Mill Road in September 2025,
which resulted in a very aggressive reduction of vegetative fuels to enhance the shaded fuel
break of Page Mill Road. City staff accomplished fuel management activities in Foothills and
Arastradero Nature Preserves treating 400 acres of fuel reductions. This effort was aided by a
rented Green Climber robotic mower which treated 26 additional acres and improved their
ability to reach more difficult terrain and reduced staff overhead. This was a successful test of a
new tool that can augment fuel management performance, in conjunction with CEQA
requirements.
Progress on the Foothills Fire Mitigation Project continues. The City has completed
undergrounding 41,700 feet of power lines out of 49,200 feet. Cable installation and
energization of 39,200 feet has been completed out of 49,200 feet. Overhead lines have been
de-energized up to Foothills Nature Preserve with power running underground.
Develop a Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan (Work Plan Item 8.F; Council Priority Objective 8): The
City has been working on sea level rise adaptation efforts for several years as discussed in

previous S/CAP Progress Reports.77 Accomplishments to date include completing the “San
Francisquito Creek Downstream Project” to protect the adjacent area from three feet of sea
level rise and a 100-year storm, a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment, online mapping tools
that help City engineers and project planners design for future sea level rise conditions,
elevated equipment and the inclusion of sea level rise in the Long Range Facility Plan Update
for the Regional Water Quality Control Plant, construction commencement for the Palo Alto
Horizontal Levee Pilot Project, and the development of K-5 sea level rise school curricula.
Begin Design Process for Levee Projects (Work Plan Item 8.G): Construction of the Palo Alto
Horizontal Levee Pilot Project (PAHLPP) began in September 2025 and is set to finish in summer
2026. Horizontal levees are nature-based sea level rise adaptations with multiple benefits over
traditional flood-control levees such as habitat enhancement, sea level rise adaptation, and
additional wastewater treatment. The PAHLPP will be the first horizontal levee to be built in the
Bay Area to be both irrigated with treated wastewater and hydrologically connected to San
Francisco Bay. The project will provide much-needed data to inform the design of future
horizontal levees around the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The City has also developed three
interpretive signs, including one in partnership with the Association of Ramaytush Ohlone.
Identify Protection Strategies from Significant Flood Events at Newell Road Bridge (Work Plan
Item 8.H; Council Priority Objective CA 2): The Newell Road Bridge Replacement Project pre-
construction activities began in summer 2025, with construction taking 1.5 years to complete.

S/CAP Progress Report.79 The San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (SFCJPA) is the
project lead. The City will continue to provide assistance through review and City
Councilmember participation in SFCJPA Board discussions.
Hamilton Avenue Storm Drain Capacity Upgrades (CA 16): While the S/CAP work plan focuses
on Pope Chaucer Bridge and San Francisquito Creek through the partnership with SFCJPA, a
storm drain improvement project that also serves to mitigate Creek flooding is underway at
Hamilton Avenue. The City awarded the construction contract for Hamilton Avenue Storm Drain
Capacity Upgrades in fall 2025.80 Construction began in December 2025 and is expected to be
completed within approximately one year.
Natural Environment: Enhance Biodiversity
Increase Palo Alto’s Tree Canopy and Ensure No Net Tree Canopy Loss (Work Plan Items 8.O,
8.P): The City will publish the new Tree and Landscape Technical Manual in early 2026. The
manual is a companion document to the Tree Protection Ordinance and will provide guidance
to residents, property owners, and industry professionals on both required and recommended
practices regarding trees and landscaping.81 The primary focus is on preserving and growing
urban canopy during development. Included in the new manual are an updated Model Water
Efficient Landscape Ordinance process, revised tree replacement calculations that account for
canopy size of the replacement tree(s), and updated in-lieu fees for when trees can not be
planted on site.
Coordinate Implementation of City Natural Environment-Related Plans (Work Plan Item 8.R):
S/CAP has the goal of restoring and enhancing resilience and biodiversity of our natural
environment throughout the City. Coordinating implementation and updates of City plans
allows for achieving multiple benefits. A recent example of this coordination is the participation
of multiple City departments in work on the San Antonio Road Area Plan, including
contributions to the Existing Conditions Assessment presented to the City Council in October.82
The e-Mobility Strategic Roadmap is also an exemplar of coordination between programs and
departments involved in implementing the S/CAP.
