Source: Pleasanton General Plan 2095 -2021 Discussion of Checklist Items Less than Significant Impacts. Operational Emissions. In assessing whether GHG emissions from the proposed project are considerable, the City considered whether the proposed project would result in more greenhouse gas emissions per year from operations than the existing entitlement on the project sites. The existing entitlement assumed in General Plan land use analyses is 732,832 square feet of office space and 333 apartments. If approved, the proposed project would replace these assumed entitlements with 1,595 apartments and 30,000 square feet of neighborhood shopping center land uses. Table 4 below compares the proposed project :o the existing entitlement.
