Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road Initial Study and Negative Declaration STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed project would: • Be inconsistent with a qualified GHG Reduction Strategy or • Generate more than 1,100 Metric Tons CO2 equivalent per year (MT CO2 e/year). Less Than Significant Potentially Impact With Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Issues Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions,either directly or X indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation X adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? DISCUSSION a-b) With respect to operational GHG emissions, the significance threshold specified in the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines6 is 56 single-family dwelling units. The proposed project does not exceed this threshold and would thus not be expected to generate a considerable increase in GHG emissions. Nevertheless, the project would be required to meet the City's CAP. Specifically, the project would be required to meet green building and energy efficiency measures consistent with the City's Green Building Ordinance and the State's Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen). The City's Green Building Ordinance requires a minimum of 50 total green building points and the applicant is proposing at least 75 points. Additionally, each new home would be required and constructed to allow for future installation of photovoltaic and solar-water-heating systems. These project features would be expected to reduce GHG emissions and assist the City in meeting the goals of AB 32. Furthermore, several Strategies and Supporting Actions related to water and energy conservation from the Climate Action Plan are incorporated into the proposed project or will be required as conditions of approval. Specifically, it would incorporate a landscape and irrigation plan that is required to meet the State of California's Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance and Bay 26 a "Qualified Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy" in accordance with the District's CEQA guidelines. 25 , subject to the review and approval of the Director of Engineering/City Engineer. Compliance with these recommendations are required as conditions of approval. Therefore, potential impacts would be less than significant. c) Site explorations conducted by PRA determined that the potential for liquefaction at this site is very low. The geotechnical analysis included recommendations to prevent landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction and collapse on the project site. The State of California provides 24 ical significance specifically designated by official action; 5.A stand of trees, the nature of which makes each dependent upon the other for survival or the area's natural beauty. 20 ive by having the additional two parcels.
