<P class=style9>Meeting the challenges of complying with SB 375,
California's landmark climate change bill, will be the focus of a
presentation by Los Angeles City Planning Commissioner <STRONG>Michael
Woo</STRONG> at the June 11 Randall Lewis Seminar Series.</P>
<P class=style9>The seminar will be held beginning at 5:30 p.m., Thursday,
June 11 in Conference Room E, UCR Extension Building, 1200 University Ave.
in Riverside (See <A href="Images/Room E Map.pdf">MAP</A>).</P>
<P class=style9>The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 - AB 32 -
requires California to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels no
later than 2020. SB 375, enacted in 2008, provides a means for achieving
AB 32 goals from light cars and trucks, and aligns three important policy
areas to local government: Regional long-range transportation plans and
investments; Reliance on regional planning processes for cities and
counties to zone for housing; and establishing a process to achieve
greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for the transportation
sector.</P>
<P class=style9>Mr. Woo, an experienced urban planner and former member of
the Los Angeles City Council, has become increasingly involved in
cutting-edge issues as climate change, smart growth, and the promotion of
healthy cities. He also is the Southern California representative to <A
href="http://www.climateplanca.org/">ClimatePlan,</A> a partnership of
environmental, civic and transportation organizations promoting smarter
land use and transportation policies to meet greenhouse gas reduction
goals under AB 32.</P></DIV></TD>

low-density land use patterns and reliance on private automobile trips;
the politics of regionalism in Southern California and the relationships
