PBS&J will review and update as appropriate the calculations of mobile source carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for future project buildout conditions using California Air Resources Board (ARB) EMFAC2007 model. Mobile source methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), as well as stationary and indirect sources of COZ, CH4 and N20 emissions for project buildout conditions will be calculated using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and California ARB published emissions factors. PBS&J will review the existing analysis of the Project and update and/or recommend mitigation that will lower GHG emissions and are consistent with the State's GHG emission reduction strategies found in AB 32 and Executive Order S-3-05. A significance determination will be made as described above. Historic/Cultural Resources PBS&J will update the existing Cultural Resources Section 4.4 of the EIR. PBS&J will review the regional and site history based on research and any previous studies of the area and analysis of the demolition and construction of the developer project. PBS&J' cultural experts will work with the City to ensure that the revised EIR section is defensible and sets forth feasible and effective mitigation measures. PBS&J will conduct site visits and new records searches (including NAHC), if necessary. Hazards and Hazardous Materials PBS&J will update the existing Hazards and Hazardous Materials Section 4.5 of the EIR. Changes to the regulatory setting (if necessary) will be incorporated as well as any changes that result from the revised project description and planning area boundary. Analysis will also cover the developer project. No major revisions are expected to occur in this section. Hydrology and Water Quality Revisions to the Hydrology and Water Quality Section 4.6 will include an update based on the revised project description and planning area boundary changes. All figures previously prepared will be updated as necessary. No major revisions are expected to occur in this section. Land Use/Planning The revisions to the Land Use section of the EIR will include the new land uses proposed under the Transit Zoning Code (SD84A and SD 84B). It will re-examine the compatibility of the proposed land uses with the surrounding area and will address potential inconsistencies with adopted plans and policies, including the City's General Plan, SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) and Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Since SCAG has revised both of their aforementioned plans, a new consistency analysis will be required. The EIR revision will evaluate any potential conflicts between project development and surrounding uses as a result of the revised project description. These conflicts could include a use that would create a nuisance for adjacent properties or result in incompatibility with surrounding land uses such
