Vehicle Miles Traveled presented in this table include no adjustment for pass -by trips. <br /> 2. Per the Trip Length Analysis, the following trip lengths and speeds were assumed for <br /> retail uses: commute =9.4 miles, non - commute =4.6 miles both at an average speed of 20 <br /> miles per hour, and for office uses: commute =24.4 miles at an average speed of 45 <br /> miles per hour, non - commute =9.9 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour. <br /> Without adjusting for market shift, the change in land use from office only to a mix of office and <br /> retail uses is projected to result in an increase of approximately 4,416 metric tons per year of <br /> CO2c. Such an increase in GHG emissions would exceed the BAAQMD adopted threshold of <br /> 1,100 metric tons per year and would potentially be considered a significant cumulative effect if <br /> all of these retail trips were to be considered "new" trips. However, based on the City of <br /> Pleasanton Market Assessment, the proposed retail uses at the Pleasanton Gateway site would <br /> likely shift existing shoppers to this site who currently travel to more distant grocery stores and <br /> restaurants. Adjusting for the market shift dramatically reduces the new trips associated with the <br /> change to retail uses, as shown in Table 3. <br /> TABLE 3: RETAIL & OFFICE PROJECT GHG EMISSIONS, ADJUSTED FOR MARKET SHIFT <br /> Emission Source Vehicle Miles GHG Emissions <br /> Traveled 1 ' (CO2e metric tons per year) <br /> Transportation 128,063 20,807.42 <br /> Area Source 1.37 <br /> Electricity 6,381.96 <br /> Natural Gas 966.21 <br /> Water and Wastewater 86.66 <br /> Solid Waste _ 4,510.71 <br /> Refrigerants 442.47 <br /> Less Baseline - 33,558.81 <br /> Increased Emissions _ - 362.01 <br /> 1.
