City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project CEQA Checklist Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum 106 FirstCarbon Solutions Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480017/Consistency Checklist/21480017 Stoneridge Mall Residential Project Checklist Addendum_Updated.docx Analysis of Proposed Project The proposed project needs to show consistency with the BAAQMD’s 2022 GHG significance thresholds for land use development projects or incorporate mitigation to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Additionally, the City of Pleasanton requires that development projects demonstrate consistency with the CAP 2.0 by submitting the CAP 2.0 CEQA GHG Emissions Analysis Compliance Checklist to ensure projects comply with the GHG reduction strategies outlined in the CAP 2.0. For land use development projects, the BAAQMD recommends that the project demonstrate conformity with the following Criterion A or Criterion B to demonstrate less than significant impacts: A. Projects must include, at a minimum, the following project design elements. a. Buildings: i. The project will not include natural gas appliances or natural gas plumbing (in both residential and nonresidential development). ii. The project will not result in any wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary energy usage as determined by the analysis required under CEQA Section 21100(b)(3) and Section 15126.2(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines. b. Transportation: i. Achieve compliance with EV requirements in the most recently adopted version of CALGreen Tier 2. ii. Achieve a reduction in project-generated VMT below the regional average consistent with the current version of the California Climate Change Scoping Plan (currently 15 percent) or meet a locally adopted SB 743 VMT target, reflecting the recommendations provided in the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA: 1. Residential projects: 15 percent below the existing VMT per capita. 2. Office projects: 15 percent below the existing VMT per employee. 3. Retail projects: no net increase in existing VMT. B. Projects must be consistent with a local GHG reduction strategy that meets the criteria under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b). The City of Pleasanton CAP 2.0 is considered a qualified reduction strategy pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b). Therefore, the proposed project is analyzed herein under the BAAQMD’s Criterion B, which allows for plan-level projects to be evaluated for consistency against a qualified GHG reduction strategy to determine the potential significance of a proposed plan. The following construction and operational GHG emissions are estimated with CalEEMod Version 2020.4.0 and provided below for informational disclosure. Both construction and operation activities have the potential to generate GHG emissions. Development of the proposed project would generate GHG emissions during temporary (short-term) construction activities such as site grading, operation of construction equipment, operation of on-site heavy-duty construction vehicles, hauling
