No No Notes: MT CO2e = metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. SP = service population (a project’s total employees and residents) 1 Adjusted threshold to account for 2017 Scoping Plan Update 40 percent reduction goal by 2030. Unrounded results were used to calculate totals. Source of Emissions: CalEEMod Output (Appendix A). As shown in Table 14, the proposed project’s net long-term operational land use emissions would not exceed the BAAQMD recommended threshold of 4.6 MT CO2e per service population per year or the adjusted 2030 threshold of 2.6 MT CO2e per service population per year adjusted to accommodate the Statewide emissions reduction goal of a 40 percent below 1990 emission levels by 2030. Therefore, the proposed project would result in a less-than-significant impact related to GHG emissions. b) Conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? Less than significant with mitigation. Significance for this impact was determined by analyzing the proposed project’s consistency with the City’s General Plan, the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP), and the ARB 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan Update. City of Pleasanton General Plan The City’s General Plan Air Quality and Climate Change Element contains several goals, programs, and policies aimed at reducing GHG emissions across the City of Pleasanton.57 Most notable are those contained under Policy 6, which aims to reduce air pollution and the production of GHGs by increasing energy efficiency, conservation, and the use of renewable resources. While most of the measures contained therein do not apply to the proposed project, Program 6.3 under Policy 6 contains several BMPs intended to reduce GHG emissions in new development. Table 15 displays Program 6.3’s BMPs that are most pertinent to reducing GHG emissions and presents an analysis of the proposed project’s consistency to each BMP. 57 City of Pleasanton. 2009. 2005 Pleasanton 2025, 9.0 Air Quality and Climate Change.
