The project complies with the <br />reduction goals of the City's Climate Action Plan, AB-32 and SB-32. The project also complies with the <br />applicable Green Building Standards and the City of Santa Ana’s policies regarding sustainability (as <br />dictated by the City's General Plan). Therefore, the project would not have any significant GHG <br />impacts. <br /> <br />b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the <br />emissions of greenhouse gases? Less Than Significant Impact. As stated previously, the City of <br />Santa Ana adopted the Santa Ana Climate Action Plan (CAP) in December 2015 and in the CAP <br />adopted emissions reduction goals of 15 percent below the baseline year 2008 by 2020 and 30 percent <br />below the baseline year 2008 by 2035 for community-wide emissions. The City has identified emission <br />measures in the CAP that can reduce GHG emissions from community-wide and municipal operations. <br />While none of the measures are directly relevant to the project, the project does not conflict with any of <br />the measures. Another approach to identifying potential conflict with GHG reduction plans, policies, or <br />regulations is to examine General Plan provisions that prescribe or enable GHG emissions control. <br /> <br /> <br />Category <br />Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Metric Tons/Year) <br />Bio-CO2 NonBio-CO2 CO2 CH4 N2O CO2e <br />Area Sources2 0.00 52.66 52.66 0.00 0.00 53.05 <br />Energy Usage3 0.00 761.65 761.65 0.03 0.01 764.70 <br />Mobile Sources4 0.00 1,583.88 1,583.88 0.06 0.00 1,585.49 <br />Waste5 21.10 0.00 21.10 1.25 0.00 52.28 <br />Water6 4.67 93.95 98.62 0.48 0.01 114.33 <br />Construction7 0.00 28.26 28.26 0.00 0.00 28.35 <br />Total Emissions 25.77 2,520.40 2,546.18 1.83 0.02 2,598.20 <br />SCAQMD Draft Threshold 3,000 <br />Exceeds Threshold?
