Determining Consistency with the CAP <br /> 4 Determining Consistency with the CAP <br /> As discussed in Chapter 2, Climate Action Plan Summary,the Pleasanton CAP 2.0 is a qualified GHG <br /> emission reduction plan per the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5 for year 2030 <br /> and can,therefore, be utilized to streamline the GHG emissions analysis for plans and projects with <br /> buildout years through 2030. Projects that are consistent with the demographic forecasts and land <br /> use assumptions in the CAP 2.0 can utilize the City's CEQA GHG Checklist to demonstrate <br /> consistency with the CAP 2.0 GHG emissions reduction strategy, and if consistent, can tier from the <br /> environmental review contained in the CAP 2.0 IS-ND. In doing so,these projects would result in <br /> less-than-significant GHG emissions and not result in a cumulatively considerable GHG emissions <br /> impact.The following process (see Figure 4)shows how to demonstrate a plan/project's consistency <br /> with the CAP 2.0's GHG emissions reduction strategy and,thereby,tier from the IS-ND for the CAP <br /> 2.0.This approach is consistent with the recommendations of the AEP Climate Change Committee <br /> for tiering from qualified GHG reduction plans that demonstrate substantial progress toward <br /> meeting the next milestone Statewide planning reduction target (i.e., a 40 percent reduction below <br /> 1990 levels by 2030 as set forth by SB 32). <br /> Figure 4 Determining Consistency with the Pleasanton CAP <br /> is the project consistent <br /> with General Plan <br /> 1 <br /> ' .._ <br /> use designation?
