City of Santa Ana -Park View at Town and Country Manor <br />Draft EIR <br />Climate <br />Operation <br />Operational or long -term emissions occur over the life of the project. Mobile, area source, and <br />indirect sources generate operational emissions. Mobile sources are exhaust emissions from the <br />vehicles of the residents and visitors. Area source emissions are from natural gas exhaust. Indirect <br />sources refer to the electricity required for the project and the electricity required to transport and <br />treat the water that would be used for the project. <br />The operational emissions for the project are shown in Table 4.8 -3. The estimation contains the <br />major sources of emissions and does not include minor sources such as emissions from landscaping <br />equipment. The main source is from motor vehicles, contributing 37 percent of the total emissions. <br />Table 4.8 -3: Project Operational Greenhouse Gases <br />ource <br />Motor vehicles <br />Refrigerants <br />Emissions (MTCOze per year) <br />1,543 <br />1,259 <br />Indirect electricity <br />678 <br />Natural gas <br />600 <br />Water transport and treatment <br />41 <br />Total <br />4,121 <br />MTCO2e = metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (includes carbon dioxide, <br />methane, nitrous oxide, and hydrofluorocarbons /refrigerants). <br />Source: Michael Brandman Associates, Climate Change Analysis Report, 2009. <br />Project Design Features that Reduce Emissions <br />The following project design features would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the project: <br />• The project is considered smart land use and intill development, which tends to reduce vehicle <br />miles traveled. <br />• There are currently two Orange County Transportation Authority routes (Route 53 and Route <br />453) that run within'' /2 mile from the project site. Route 453 runs on E. Memory Lane, S. <br />Lawson Way, and W. Town and Country Road. Near and accessible transit can reduce vehicle <br />miles traveled. <br />• The existing Town & Country Manor buildings have a variety of onsite activities and outings <br />that would reduce vehicle miles traveled and emissions associated with single occupancy trips. <br />Additionally, the Main Place Mall is located approximately 0.4 mile west of the project site, <br />which provides shopping opportunities for the residents. <br />Sooping Plan <br />Project consistency with applicable measures in the Scoping Plan is assessed in Table 4.8 -4. As <br />shown, the project is consistent with the measures with the incorporation of mitigation measures. <br />Michael Brandman Associates 4.8 -9 <br />H\Cl t(PN- RN)b327b32]003MMVB2]0030 Sec0 Clore Ch ge dac <br />
