Consultation has concluded
The City has now closed the public comment period for Fremont's draft Climate Action Plan. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback! We appreciate everyone's interest in the plan and creating a climate ready Fremont. The feedback received will be reviewed and considered as staff prepares the final plan to bring to the Fremont City Council for adoption later this year.
The plan, titled Climate Ready Fremont, provides a series of local greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and climate adaptation measures to be undertaken through the year 2030. It will replace the first Climate Action Plan that was adopted in 2012.
Visit our Climate Action Plan webpage to learn all about our process for updating the plan. The latest steps in the update process are detailed below:
On June 1, 2023, our staff presented the draft to the City's Environmental Sustainability Commission. The commission provided feedback and voted unanimously to recommend it to the Fremont City Council.
On June 20, 2023, staff presented the draft to the City Council. The Council provided feedback and unanimously approved to release the draft for a period of public review and comment.
From June 21 to July 31, 2023, the draft was available for the public to review and provide feedback. A quick poll and discussion forum were provided to gather feedback.
From August to October 2023, staff will prepare the final plan to bring to the City Council for adoption.

Share If someone installs a heat pump to replace a natural gas furnace and they do not currently have central AC, will their property tax assessment go up because central AC comes with the heat pump? I read that adding central AC is a substantial change that will trigger a tax increase. Some tax entities are considering a heat pump as a central AC unit since they normally can cool as well as heat. on FacebookShare If someone installs a heat pump to replace a natural gas furnace and they do not currently have central AC, will their property tax assessment go up because central AC comes with the heat pump?

Thank you for your question. We researched your question but were not able to come up with a definitive answer. We recommend that you reach out to your tax advisor/accountant for this information.

Thank you for your question. The City did not attempt to quantify the costs associated with implementing all of the measures within the Climate Action Plan. Both the costs and savings of measure implementation, as well as who incurs those costs or benefits from those savings, vary widely and are difficult to predict. While some measures will only require funding from the City and other public entities, others will result in cost impacts for businesses, developers, and residents. However, implementation of many of the measures may result in substantial cost-savings for the City, residents, and business owners in the long term. Chapter 4 goes into detail regarding potential funding sources that could support the climate implementation efforts. With regards to particular costs associated with retrofitting existing buildings to be all electric and low carbon (Measures BU-4 and BU-5), it may be of interest to review “Zero Carbon Buildings in California: A Feasibility Study” prepared in 2021 for the California Air Resources Board and the California Environmental Protection Agency, accessible at: https://crec.berkeley.edu/uploads/16RD004_CREC_ZCB_Final_Report_w__Appendices_(1).pdf.
