Comment:
Please consider having urban planners be licensed by the State of
California.  In this way, land use patterns that decrease
greenhouse gas emissions will be taught to planners, planners can
be tested on the subject, and ongoing professional education can
occur as new technologies/methods develop.  On page C-66 of the
appendices it says, "In order to ensure that building designers
understand these concepts, it may be necessary to require passive
solar design as part of architectural programs, exams, and ongoing
professional education credits."  Yet for land use, there are no
similar standards.  I have recently seen many decisions been made
by local government which will likely increase GHG emissions and
no one is held accountable for this.  A licensing program for
planners could be a first step.
