The purpose of this plan is to identify opportunities for on— and off-street facilities that help create safe and comfortable connections that capitalize on the city's natural, cultural, and recreational amenities such as parks, commercial districts, schools, community centers and the beach. In addition to enhanced con- nectivity and access, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure also influence: FOMAreo 2050 (or earlier) Goals • Develop and ennancecornectivityand walkabihtybetween oarksardwithin city, • Ensure that 95% of residential addresses are located within'" mile of a park or open space. • Increase and maintain healthy, diverse tree canopy to 40%. • Reduce use of harmful chemicals and biocides by 90% Energy & Climate • Reduce green house gas emissions (GHG) emissions tobeiowtwometric ton sper capita or80% be I ow 1990 levels • Commit to Under 2° actions and implementation. • Reduce 20% of overall energy consumption. • Work with Jack5oriville Eclectic Authority (JEA) and other partnersto generate 33% of citywide electricity from renewable energy and obtain 100% of electricity from clean, renewable sources city wide + • Demonstrate an annual improving trend achievement forthe stated thresholds and metrics (LEED quality of life data, safe community, housing& transportation affordability, food access & nutrition, community health, ambient noise & light, active living, aging in the community, environmentaljustice, arts &culture, historic preservation, social & cultural diversity) • Meet orexceed',a, _ , , , . -;Water Regulation for9O known contaminantsand add status of waterwithdrawal areas in annual reDort. • Reduce gross potable water consumption percapita by40% including on lawns. • Make 100%ofCOABwaterways fishable and swimmable, • Ensure COA8 has suff icient water storage and mitigates inland flooding cluringextreme weather events. • Notreatedornon-pointsourcepollution inIntercoastal Watenvay,St.JohnsRiverorocean.
