Santa Ana Climate Acxtion Flan' Per- capita Emissions Emissions are often standardized based on population to produce a per- capita emissions estimate. Applying the City's 2008 population, baseline emissions were approximately 5.5 MTCOze per person. This is significantly less than the per- capita emissions level of nearby cities such as Laguna Beach in 1990 was 13.0, Mission Viejo in 2008 was 7.25, and Aliso Viejo in 2008 was 7.1 MTCOZe per person. The City of Los Angeles, in 2004 had emissions of 13.5 MTCOze per person .9 Community-wide Emissions Forecast Community -wide GHG emissions were projected for 2020 and 2035 under a business -as -usual (BALI) scenario. The community -wide BALI scenario estimates future trends in transportation, energy, solid waste, water and wastewater based on SCAG forecasts of population, housing, and employment for the City, and assumes that historic trends in energy consumption and waste generation continue. Future vehicle miles traveled are estimated from a travel demand model, consistent with the Orange County subregional Sustainable Communities Strategy.t0 Forecast emissions by sector are shown in Figure 2.3 and Table 2.2. Overall, community - wide emissions are estimated to increase by 5% by 2020 and 11 % by 2035. The largest emissions increase would occur within the Figure 2.3:2008 Community -wide Emissions Forecasts by Sector 2.5 _.... 0 v � 0.5 0 2008 2020 2035 Other i Wastewater Water * Solid Waste Generation Residential Energy Use Commercial /Industrial Energy Use Transportation and Land Use 10 City of Los Angeles 2007.
