potential increase in VMT, provided by Kittelson, will be discussed in relation to <br />the projected population increase. <br />The Air Basin is currently in nonattainment for particulate matter and for ozone. <br />The Plan -level air quality analysis will include a consistency evaluation of the <br />General Plan to the BAAQMD's land use and transportation control measures <br />within the Air Quality Management Plan. <br />The air quality impact analysis will also describe land uses within the city that have <br />the potential to generate nuisance odors. Buffer distances and/or control measures <br />for odor sources listed in the BAAQMD's guidelines will be incorporated. <br />The Planning Center I DC&E will evaluate community risk and hazards based on <br />guidance in BAAQMD's draft Community Risk Reduction Plans for Toxic Air <br />Contaminants (TAC) and Fine Particulate Matter (TM2,): Community Development <br />Guidelines. The community risk and hazards evaluation will include a discussion of <br />potential health risks from air toxic contaminants (TAC) and PM2.5 in San Leandro. <br />For land uses within areas mapped as having elevated risk, the EIR will detail <br />performance standards for future development projects, which could become <br />General Plan policies and programs. <br />Measures to mitigate air quality impacts will be evaluated. Needed mitigation <br />would likely take the form of new mandatory General Plan policies or programs <br />that could be incorporated into the Land Use, Transportation, and/or Open Space, <br />Conservation, and Parks Elements to make the General Plan self -mitigating. <br />d. Greenhouse Gases <br />Implementation of the City's General Plan Update would be expected to increase <br />GHG emissions from energy use (natural gas and electricity), transportation <br />sources, water use and wastewater generation, and solid waste disposal. The EIR <br />will evaluate the impact from the change in GHG emissions in the City compared <br />to CEQA baseline conditions (assembled in Task 4.10), pursuant to BAAQMD's <br />thresholds. <br />The GHG section in the FIR will also discuss the City's commitment to reducing <br />GHG emissions in accordance with the GHG reduction goals of Assembly Bill 32 <br />(AB 32) and Senate Bill 375 (SB 375). Project consistency with the California Air <br />Resources Board's 2008 Scoping Plan and 2013 Scoping Plan Update and Plan Bay <br />Area (as the region's SCS) will also be reviewed. San Leandro's 2009 CAP included <br />a community -wide GHG emissions reduction target of 25 percent below 2005 <br />
