Utilizing Quantitative CEQA GHG Thresholds emissions efficiency thresholds were calculated using the emissions forecasts with all emissions sectors included, because plans and projects would generate vehicle trips, consume energy and water, and produce wastewater and solid waste,thereby generating emissions in all categories. Efficiency thresholds were calculated for year 2030 to provide GHG emissions thresholds for new development in line with the State's next milestone target for year 2030. GHG emissions efficiency thresholds would be used during the CEQA review process for new residential, non-residential, and mixed-use plans and projects.Therefore, forecasted GHG emissions in the CAP 2.0 were disaggregated into residential and non-residential development for each threshold year for the purpose of calculating thresholds specific to residential, non-residential,and mixed-use projects. Forecasts GHG emissions are sometimes also disaggregated between new and existing development for each threshold year. For the City of Pleasanton, a GHG threshold disaggregated between new and existing development places a disproportionately high emphasis on emissions reduction from existing development, given the CAP 2.0 measures.This necessitated applying the CAP 2.0 emissions reduction across both new development and existing development to produce per capita GHG thresholds for residential projects, non-residential projects, and mixed- use projects.The results of the disaggregation of the GHG emissions forecast are presented in Figure 4, which summarizes the total amount of GHG emissions expected to be generated by existing, new residential, and new non-residential development for threshold year 2030.
