City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum Addendum 83 improved vehicle mileage standards, and increased share of renewable energy in generating electricity, would also serve, in time, to further reduce GHGs related to the General Plan. Therefore, the Prior FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion GHG Emissions The Bay Area Air District’s 2022 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines provide recommended significance thresholds for GHGs for land use development projects and plans. The thresholds state that projects demonstrating consistency with either one of two enumerated Criterion “A” or “B” would result in a less than significant impact related to the generation of direct and indirect GHG emissions. A project’s consistency with Criterion A is based on incorporating specific project design elements. A project’s consistency with Criterion B involves demonstrating consistency with a local GHG reduction strategy that meets the criteria under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b). The City’s CAP 2.0 is considered a qualified GHG reduction strategy pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b). Future projects developed on the proposed sites would be required to demonstrate consistency with the City’s CAP 2.0, either through the CAP 2.0 CEQA GHG Emissions Analysis Compliance Checklist or another method, or demonstrate that project implementation would not result in direct or indirect GHG emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment. Therefore, the proposed project would not generate GHG emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment, and impacts would be less than significant. The proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Prior FEIR. There is no further analysis required. Consistency with Relevant Plan for Reducing GHG Emissions The City adopted the CAP 2.0, a qualified GHG reduction strategy, to meet targets set by SB 32 and AB 1279 and align with the 2022 ARB Scoping Plan. The CAP 2.0 includes measures and a compliance checklist for individual projects to demonstrate consistency. Future projects developed on the proposed sites would be required to demonstrate consistency with the City’s CAP 2.0, either through the CAP 2.0 CEQA GHG Emissions Analysis Compliance Checklist or another method or demonstrate that project implementation would not result in direct or indirect
