Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG)
• Utilized Seven Different Methodologies; Baseline (2008) estimate, existing conditions produce approximately 564 MTCO2E annually
• GHG emissions from construction, energy use, area sources, water demand, and waste disposal, and vehicle trips/mobile sources
• Proposed project would emit 32,978 to 33,865 MTCO2E at full buildout
• Design Measures reduce impacts from GHG Emissions

Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG)• Generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that
may have a significant impact on the environment.
• Project design features reduce emissions by approximately 20.8%, exceeding County’s 2015 Guidance reduction target of 16% and meeting targeted reductions of SMAQMD and CARB
• Conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHG.
• The project does not conflict with the General Plan’s Goals or Policies related to GHG emissions, SB 375 or SANDAG’s 2050 RTP/SCS, EO B-30-15’s interim-year (2030) goal and EO S-3-05’s horizon-year (2050) goal 5
