Thus, the Addendum should have relied upon a household size ratio of 2.45-persons per household, in <br />order to maintain consistency with the City's General Plan and conduct the most conservative analysis. <br />As such, the Addendum should have estimated a residential service population value of 407 people.33 <br />Furthermore, the Addendum fails to disclose any calculations used to estimate the number of jobs <br />supported by the Project. However, the DPEIR indicates that commercial land uses generate <br />approximately 1 employee per 500-SF of building space (see excerpt below).34 <br />Table 3: Employment Factors <br />Em fie merit Generation Factors <br />Land Use <br />Existing Factor <br />Buildout Factor <br />Commercial <br />500 sq_ fl_ Imp <br />500 s _ fl_ I em <br />Office I Office Park <br />286 s _ It Imp <br />364 s _ ft I ern <br />Business Park!

However, while the Addendum quantifies the Project's GHG <br />emissions, the Addendum fails to mention or compare the Project's annual GHG emissions to the <br />applicable SCAQMD thresholds. This is incorrect, as the SCAQMD provides GHG thresholds that can be <br />used to determine a project's significance. <br />In September 2016, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 32, enacting HEALTH & SAFETY CODE § 38566.37 <br />This statute ("SB 32") requires California to achieve a new, more aggressive 40% reduction in GHG <br />33 Calculated: 169 units * 2.41 persons per household = 407 residents. <br />34 "Santa Ana General Plan Update Draft Program Environmental Impact Report."
