Summary of 2018 Spotorno Ranch Air Quality Analysis <br />March 22, 2021 <br />Page 15 <br /> <br />As shown in Table 8 the project’s long-term operational emissions would not exceed the BAAQMD’s <br />threshold of significance. Therefore, the project’s GHG emissions would be less than significant. <br />Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan Consistency <br />Significance for this impact is determined by project compliance with the City of Pleasanton Climate <br />Action Plan (CAP),3 which is a qualified GHG Reduction Plan according to the BAAQMD’s 2017 <br />guidelines.4 The City’s CAP identifies policies that will achieve the State-recommended GHG reduction <br />target of 15 percent below 2008 levels by the year 2020 and the locally adopted reduction goal of 15 <br />percent below 2005 levels by 2020. The CAP provides goals, supporting strategies, and associated <br />actions in the topical areas of energy, land use and transportation, solid waste minimization, water and <br />wastewater, and community engagement. To assess compliance with the City ’s CAP, a consistency <br />analysis was performed for applicable requirements and is discussed below. <br />In summary, the project would not conflict with the City of Pleasanton CAP or regulations adopted by the <br />State of California to reduce GHG emission and would comply with all mandatory local and regional <br />measures applicable to the project. As shown in Impact GHG-1, the project would incrementally increase <br />GHG emissions, but not to a level that would generate significant effects. Considering this information, the <br />project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted to reduce the <br />emissions of GHGs. Impacts would be less than significant. <br /> <br /> <br />3 City of Pleasanton. 2012. City of Pleasanton Climate Action Plan.
