City of Santa Ana -Park View at Town and Country Manor Draft EIR Climate Table 4.8.7 (cont.): Project Operational Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Mitigated) Source Unmitigated Emissions Reduction ( %) Mitigated Emissions (MTCOse per year) (MTCOse per year) Notes: MTCOze = metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (includes carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and/or hydrofluorocarbons) Reductions pursuant to the following mitigation measures and project design features: - Motor vehicles - mitigation measures CC -6 and CC -7 and project design features. - Refrigerants - mitigation measure CC -8 - Indirect electricity - mitigation measures CC -1, CC -2, and CC-3 - Natural gas - mitigation measure CC-1 - Water transport and treatment - mitigation measure CC -5 Source: Michael Brandman Associates, Climate Change Analysis, 2009. There is no adopted greenhouse gas reduction plan or strategy within the project area. After mitigation, the project would not significantly hinder or delay California's ability to meet the reduction targets contained in AB 32. The Scoping Plan outlines steps that the State can take to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020 and indirectly takes into account cumulative State sources. The project is consistent with the Scoping Plan and California's strategies to meet the reduction targets contained in AB 32. Additionally, the project has features to reduce vehicle miles traveled: 1) the project is smart land use; 2) the project is high- density residential located within a half -mile of retail uses; and 3) the project is located near transit. The greenhouse gas emissions from construction and operation of the project would result in a less than significant impact to climate change on a project and cumulative basis.
