Community Plan Exemption Checklist City of Santa Ana Gary Avenue Business Park Project Table GHG-1: Construction -Related GHG Emissions Category MTCO2e Construction Year 1 274 Construction Year 2 209 Total Construction Emissions 483 30-Year Amortized Construction 16 Source: GHG Assessment (Appendix F) Operational or long-term GHG emissions occur over the life of the Project. GHG emissions would result from direct emissions such as Project generated vehicular traffic, on -site combustion of natural gas, and operation of any landscaping equipment. Operational GHG emissions would also result from indirect sources, such as off -site generation of electrical power, the energy required to convey water to, and wastewater from the Project, the emissions associated with solid waste generated from the Project, and any fugitive refrigerants from air conditioning or refrigerators. Total GHG emissions associated with the Project are summarized in Table GHG-2, Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions, which shows that the Project would generate approximately 1,668 MTCO2e annually from both construction and operations of the Project. As such, the Project would not exceed the 3,000 MTCO2e bright - line screening threshold and no new impacts would occur.

No Source: GHG Assessment (Appendix F) b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? No New Impact. As described above, the proposed Project would implement new FLEX-3 land uses that are consistent with the GPU. The GPU EIR describes that new buildings associated with land uses accommodated under the proposed land use plan of the GPU, such as the proposed project, would be built to meet the CALGreen and Building Energy Efficiency Standards in effect at the time when applying for building permits. Thus, the developments pursuant to the GPU, such as the proposed Project would not obstruct implementation of the CARB Scoping Plan or SCAG Regional Transportation Plan. SB 375 required SCAG to adopt a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) as part of its Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). SCAG adopted the Connect SoCal Plan in May 2020. The Connect SoCal plan would reduce per capita vehicular travel -related GHG emissions and achieve the GHG reduction per capita targets for the SCAG region by projecting development that is generally consistent with regional -level 60
