Page 4 PUD-105 and P 14-0852 July 9,2019 JDEDZ accordance with these legislative changes,the City has added analysis of the project's GHG emissions to the recirculated SEIR. Pursuant to revised section 15064.4 and Appendix G of the Guidelines,the City has discretion whether to assess GHG emissions quantitatively or qualitatively and to establish thresholds of significance. Since there is no applicable quantitative threshold(e.g.,neither the City's CAP nor the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's emissions threshold are qualified to be consistent with SB 32's 2030 targets),the City used the qualitative threshold provided in CEQA Guidelines section 15064.4(b),which considers whether the Project complies with applicable plans,policies,regulations,and requirements adopted to implement a statewide, regional,or local plan for the reduction or mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The California Air Resources Board's 2017 Scoping Plan Update is intended to reduce GHG emissions to meet the statewide targets set forth in SB 32. The Association of Bay Area Governments' (ABAG)and Metropolitan Transportation Commission's(MTC)Plan Bay Area 2040 is designed to achieve regional GHG reductions from the land use and transportation sectors as required by SB 375 and the state's long-term climate goals. The City's CAP is designed to reduce local GHG emissions to support the statewide target for 2020 set forth in AB 32 and put the City on an emissions trajectory that is consistent with the State's longer-term targets. The City's GHG analysis determined that the project would be consistent with the 2017 Scoping Plan Update, Plan Bay Area 2040,and the City's CAP. The analysis found that because the Project is consistent with these applicable plans and policies to reduce GHG emissions,and because the Project implements certain project design features(e.g.EV charging stations),the Project would generate an incremental contribution to climate change compared to existing conditions,but would not generate enough GHG emissions on its own to significantly influence global climate change. Therefore,the analysis determined that the project would not have a sijnifcant effect on the environment. Energy Resources Technical Memorandum The technical memorandum analyzes the impacts on energy resources due to construction and operation of the JDEDZ. In accordance with the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines,specifically Appendix G, Environmental Checklist,and Appendix F,Energy Conservation,this assessment provides an estimate of energy consumption for the JDEDZ and the potential impacts from associated construction and operational activities.The assessment includes the categories and types of energy consumption resulting from the JDEDZ,the calculation procedures used in the analysis,and any assumptions or limitations. Construction of the JDEDZ would occur in two phases. Phase 1 would begin in 2020 with a one-year duration and Phase 2 would begin in 2030 with a one-year duration. Each of the construction phases would utilize energy for necessary on-site construction activities and to transport materials,soil,and debris to and from the site. Phase 1 construction would consume approximately 114,345 gallons of diesel and 19,813 gallons of gasoline during the one-year construction timeframe. Phase 2 construction would consume approximately 64,504 gallons of diesel and 14,051 gallons of gasoline during the one-year construction timeframe. Phase 1 diesel consumption would represent approximately 0.10 and 0.003 percent of total 2017 diesel fuel consumption in Alameda County and California,respectively. Phase 1 gasoline consumption would represent approximately 0.006 and 0.0002 percent of County and State 2017 gasoline consumption,respectively. Phase 2 diesel consumption would represent approximately 0.06 and 0.002 percent of County and State 2017 diesel consumption,respectively. Phase 2 gasoline consumption would represent approximately 0.002 and 0.0001 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT—P.O.
