<br /> <br /> <br />Memorandum <br />Date: March 22, 2021 <br /> <br />To: Ellen Clark, Community Development Director, City of Pleasanton <br /> <br />From: Phil Ault, Senior Scientist <br /> <br />Subject: 2018 Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis for the Spotorno Ranch Development <br /> <br /> <br />FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS) conducted an analysis for a previously-proposed Spotorno Ranch <br />development project in 2018 that included an assessment of the air quality and greenhouse gas impacts <br />for the proposed project. The proposed project in 2018 consisted of 39 single-family homes on the <br />project site. The current proposed project remains on the same site but has been reduced to 22 single- <br />family homes. The 2018 analysis represents a conservative analysis compared to the current proposed <br />project as the overall level of air quality and greenhouse gas impacts would be reduced due to reduced <br />construction and operational activities such as vehicle traffic. Additionally, emissions from vehicles, <br />housing, and construction equipment are steadily being reduced due to regulations encouraging or <br />requiring increased energy efficiency, lower engine emissions, and reduced traffic congestion among <br />other improvements. Therefore, the analysis completed in 2018 is presented in summary below with the <br />understanding that all impact findings in 2018 would be the same or less for the current proposed <br />project.
