feet of industrial space,or 22 hotel rooms to implement an employee commute trip reduction (CTR)program. The CTR program shall identify alternative modes of transportation to the project, including transit schedules, bike and pedestrian routes, and carpool/vanpool availability. Information regarding these programs shall be readily available to employees and clients. The project applicant or designee shall implement at least one of the following incentives for commuters as part of the CTR program, or another equally effective incentive: • Ride-matching assistance(e.g.subsidized public transit passes) • Vanpool assistance or employer-provided vanpool/shuttle • Car-sharing program(e.g.Zipcar) • Bicycle end-trip facilities, including bike parking, lockers,and showers. Implementation of requirements listed in Mitigation Measure GHG-1 and Plan policies would significantly reduce GHG emissions in 2040. However,even implementation of all reasonable mitigation measures in tandem with all applicable existing policies and regulations would not be sufficient to achieve the 2040 efficiency threshold of 1.7 MTCO2e per service population that would indicate "substantial progress" towards the EO S-3-05 GHG emissions reduction target. (b) Effects of Plan Policies and Remaining Impacts:Effects of the Plan policies,including those aimed at reducing mobile emissions by promoting multi-modal transportation infrastructure,were factored into the above analysis to the extent that the reduction of GHGs from proposed policies could be quantified. Even accounting for these reductions,emissions levels under implementation of the Plan would exceed the significance threshold. (c) Rationale and Conclusion: Mitigation Measure GHG-1 would require new development to be energy and water efficient, reducing area emissions, and to provide commute trip reduction options, reducing mobile emissions.Compliance with mitigation measure GHG-1,Plan policies,and state and local policies and regulations including reduction goals provided in California's Renewable Portfolio Standard, Title 24 requirements and CAP exceedance goals,the City of Pleasanton General Plan,the City's Municipal Code,and the City's Climate Action Plan would significantly reduce overall GHG emissions below existing levels. However,the Plan would still not achieve the 2040 efficiency threshold of 1.7 MTCO2e per service population that would indicate "substantial progress" towards the EO S-3-05 GHG emissions reduction target. Therefore, the proposed Plan would result in a significant and unavoidable impact on the environment and the progress of climate change with respect to the generation of GHG emissions. The impact is found to be significant and unavoidable under 14 CCR Section 15091(a)(2). This potential unavoidable significant impact is acceptable and overridden as set forth below in the Statement of Overriding Considerations.(Draft EIR,pp.3.5-31 to 3.5-43.) Impact 3.5-2: Development under the Plan would conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. (a) Facts in Support of Finding: Assembly Bill (AB) 32 and EO S-03-05 set targets for State GHG reductions of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. The 2017 CARB Scoping Plan creates a pathway to achieving those goals by reducing GHG emissions to 4.0 MTCO2e per capita by 2030 and 2.0 MTCO2e per capita by 2050.The Plan would support the intent of the Scoping Plan; however, it may conflict with the thresholds required by the Scoping Plan under EO S-3-05. BAAQMD's CEQA Guidelines,as discussed in the Methodology and Assumptions section,builds upon the CARB per capita thresholds by creating an efficiency threshold that uses service population in lieu of resident population,which is more appropriate for a land use plan,such as the Plan. 18 easures to reduce risk may include but are not limited to: - Air intakes located away from high volume roadways and/or truck loading zones. - Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems of the buildings provided with appropriately sized maximum efficiency rating value(MERV)filters. 13
