Utilizing Quantitative CEQA GHG Thresholds <br /> emissions efficiency thresholds were calculated using the emissions forecasts with all emissions <br /> sectors included, because plans and projects would generate vehicle trips, consume energy and <br /> water,and produce wastewater and solid waste,thereby generating emissions in all categories. <br /> Efficiency thresholds were calculated for year 2030 to provide GHG emissions thresholds for new <br /> development in line with the State's next milestone target for year 2030. <br /> GHG emissions efficiency thresholds would be used during the CEQA review process for new <br /> residential, non-residential,and mixed-use plans and projects.Therefore,forecasted GHG emissions <br /> in the CAP 2.0 were disaggregated into residential and non-residential development for each <br /> threshold year for the purpose of calculating thresholds specific to residential, non-residential, and <br /> mixed-use projects. Forecasts GHG emissions are sometimes also disaggregated between new and <br /> existing development for each threshold year. For the City of Pleasanton, a GHG threshold <br /> disaggregated between new and existing development places a disproportionately high emphasis on <br /> emissions reduction from existing development, given the CAP 2.0 measures.This necessitated <br /> applying the CAP 2.0 emissions reduction across both new development and existing development <br /> to produce per capita GHG thresholds for residential projects, non-residential projects,and mixed- <br /> use projects.The results of the disaggregation of the GHG emissions forecast are presented in <br /> Figure 4,which summarizes the total amount of GHG emissions expected to be generated by <br /> existing, new residential, and new non-residential development for threshold year 2030. <br /> Figure 4 Allowable GHG Emissions from Existing and New Development in 2030 <br /> 350,000 <br /> 5 566 <br /> 300,000 <br /> a <br /> O 250,000 <br /> 200,000 <br /> 0 <br /> N <br /> N <br /> UJ 150,000 <br /> o 100,000 <br /> 0 <br /> N <br /> 50,000 <br /> ■Existing ■New Residential a New Nonresidential <br /> 25 <br />
