San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 4 District Reference No . 20211337 December 22, 2021 and urban greening as a measure to further reduce air pollution exposure on sensitive receptors ( i . e . residential units ) . While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources , vegetative barriers have been shown to be an additional measure to potentially reduce a population ' s exposure to air pollution through the interception of airborne particles and the update of gaseous pollutants . Examples of vegetative barriers include , but not limited to the following : trees , bushes , shrubs , or a mix of these . Generally , a higher and thicker vegetative barrier with full coverage will result in greater reductions in downwind pollutant concentrations . In the same manner , urban greening is also a way to help improve air quality and public health in addition to enhancing the overall beautification of a community with drought resistant low maintenance greenery . 7 . Solar Deployment in the Community It is the policy of the State of California that renewable energy resources and zero - carbon resources supply 100 % of retail sales of electricity to California end - use customers by December 31 , 2045 . While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources , the production of solar energy is contributing to improving air quality and public health . The District suggests that the County consider the feasibility of incorporating solar power systems , as an emission reduction strategy for this Project . 8 . Charge Up ! Electric Vehicle Charger To support further installation of electric vehicle charging equipment and development of such infrastructure , the District offers incentives to public agencies , businesses , and property owners of multi - unit dwellings to install electric charging infrastructure ( Level 2 and 3 chargers ) . The purpose of this incentive program is to promote clean air alternative -fuel technologies and the use of low or zero - emission vehicles . The District suggests that the County and Project proponent consider the feasibility of installing electric vehicle chargers for this Project .
