Plastic bags that stay in place will take at least 500 years to photo degrade, especially if they are buried deep beneath debris. Unfortunately many of the bags that are dumped in the landfill blow away and are caught in the fencing surrounding landfills such as Keller Canyon in Pittsburg. The cost to remove these bags is incurred by trash and recycling ratepayers. 

3.
What is the Town of Danville doing to encourage the use of reusable bags?

In an effort to promote the use of reusable bags in Danville retail establishments, the Town is distributing 10,000 reusable shopping bags free of charge to local residents. These bags will be distributed through the Danville Farmers' Market on Saturdays and other special events.

In an effort to educate the public on what plastics can and cannot be recycled, we have moved our messaging away from using the #1-7 symbols. These numbers reflect the type of plastic used to make a product and does not mean that an item can be recycled. Instead, our messaging focuses on the shape of the material such as plastic bottles/jugs that have a "neck" or taper at the top and plastic dairy tubs.
FAQs • Danville, CA • CivicEngage
Table 3-2 (page 3-11) of the Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report (Revised DEIR) provides a summary by parcel. It’s important to note that both the Danville General Plan and Town’s Zoning district for the Agricultural and Rural Residential Land Use Designations permit residential uses.  Specifically, this property’s zoning of A-2; General Agricultural District permits “a detached single-family dwelling on each parcel and the accessory structures and uses normally auxiliary to it” by right.  The zoning allows up to one home per five acres. 

5.
How does the General Plan or Zoning District allow 69 lots on Agricultural land?

As a first step in the Town’s development review process, a lot study is undertaken to determine a property’s maximum allowable development potential.  This study takes into account the property’s permitted density (example: up to one home per five acres) as well as the relevant development standards that apply (example: no development within 100 vertical feet of a ridgeline or on slopes in excess of 30-percent, etc.).  The conclusion of this study was that the Magee Ranch property had the right to request a maximum of 78 lots.  In 2010, SummerHill Homes submitted a development application for 85 homes.  Through the environmental review process, the proposal was reduced to 78 homes in 2011 and subsequently to 70 homes by late 2012.  In response to comments that surfaced through the Draft EIR prepared for the original project, the unit count was reduced further to 69 homes.  

6.
Why can't the property be preserved in its current farmland state?

A city’s General Plan outlines the development rights of every parcel within its limits.  In this case, the property’s General Plan land use designations and its corresponding zoning districts allows up to 78 lots.  Denying a landowner the ability to request a development proposal consistent with the General Plan could constitute an unconstitutional taking of private property rights. 

7.
What is Measure S?

On November 7, 2000, the voters in Danville approved Measure S, which amended the Town’s General Plan.

Scattering may also be done by any person having the right to control the disposition of the cremated remains of any person or that persons designee if the person does not dispose of or offer to dispose of more than ten cremated remains within any calendar year.
When scattering remains, you should avoid inhaling the dust from the remains, since there may be health risks. The county health department must issue a Permit for Disposition, and boat/aircraft operators must notify the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency after scattering.
State law requires cremated remains disposers who scatter by air or boat to post copies of their current pilot or boating licenses and the addresses of their cremated remains storage areas at their place of business. The law also requires disposers to conduct scatterings within 60 days of receiving the remains, unless the person with the right to control disposition is notified in writing of the reason for the delay.
Special Circumstances
Death Out of State
Burial - If death occurs away from the city where burial is to take place, you will need to have the body transported using the coordinated services of a funeral establishment in each city. If the body is transported by shipping on a common carrier, the body must be embalmed prior to shipping. If it cannot be embalmed, the body must be shipped in an airtight casket or transportation container.
Cremation - You can arrange for the body to be cremated in the distant city and for the cremated remains to be shipped to you.
Death Out of the Country
If death occurs in another country, the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in that country can assist in making arrangements for the return of the body or for its local disposition. You will usually be able to obtain English translations of the death certificate and other documents through the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
Donation for Medical Purposes
If you wish to donate your body to a medical school for educational or research purposes, you will need to make arrangements with the school well in advance. It is a good idea to check with the school every few years, since procedures and needs may change. By law, the school is responsible for costs of final disposition.

Neither DEC nor Cornell can affirm that the data reported is entirely accurate. For example, reporters may report the diluted amount applied instead of the undiluted amount as required by DEC. DEC and Cornell review reports in an attempt to identify these obvious or likely errors, but not all errors can be identified or rectified. When errors are identified, the Department follows up with the report submitter and corrections are made.Reclassification of Certain Neonicotinoid Pesticide Products to Restricted Use PesticidesEffective January 1, 2023, DEC reclassified certain neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticide products as "restricted use". Products containing imidacloprid, acetamiprid and thiamethoxam that are labeled for foliar and/or widespread outdoor use and/or seed treatment have been reclassified as restricted use. The reclassification will ensure proper use by trained applicators, and require sales and use data to be annually reported to DEC in accordance with the Pesticide Reporting Law. This will provide a practical mechanism for obtaining information on use location and amounts for products which are currently registered as "general use" in New York State and can be used by the general public.
FAQs • Dublin • CivicEngage
Do I need a permit to build an arbor or patio cover?

A site development review is also required for all projects where 50% or more of the exterior walls of a house will be demolished (torn down). To gain approval, any proposed addition must meet development standards, which include setback and lot coverage requirements. Homeowners are encouraged to contact the Planning Division at (925) 833-6610 early in their planning process to determine the appropriate development standards for their property.	

5.
What is a zone reclassification and when do I need one?

Each parcel within the City of Dublin has a zone classification. The allowable uses on each parcel, as well as the appropriate development standards, are determined by that parcel's zone classification. In certain cases, the City Council may authorize a zone reclassification, provided that the proposed zone is consistent with the General Plan. To institute a zone reclassification, an application must be filed with the Planning Division. 	

6.
What is a variance and when do I need one?

In rare cases, property owners can be granted an exception or variance from a development standard, such as setback requirements or coverage limitations. A variance can only be granted for relief from a particular development standard. A variance can never be granted to allow land uses prohibited by the property's zone classification.

(2) No parcel within the site has been created within the past 10 years unless the parcel was created as a
	 result of the plan of a redevelopment agency.(b) The site has been previously developed for qualified urban uses.SEC. 14. Chapter 4.2 (commencing with Section 21155) is added to Division 13 of the Public Resources Code, to read:
 CHAPTER
  4.2. Implementation of the Sustainable Communities Strategy21155. (a) This chapter applies only to a transit priority project that is consistent with the general use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the project area in either a sustainable communities strategy or an alternative planning strategy, for which the State Air Resources Board, pursuant to subparagraph (H) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 65080 of the Government Code, has accepted a metropolitan planning organization’s determination that the sustainable communities strategy or the alternative planning strategy would, if implemented, achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.(b) For purposes of this chapter, a transit priority project shall (1) contain at least 50 percent
