SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT DRAFT EIR <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />AIR QUALITY <br />■ Land Use Analysis Program: Assess the impacts of land use decisions made by local jurisdictions on <br />regional transportation systems and ensure that significant impacts are appropriately mitigated. <br />■ Database and Travel Demand Model: Approve that computer models used for sub -areas are consistent <br />with the CMP model and standardized modeling assumptions. <br />■ Capital Improvement Program: Develop a list of projects intended to maintain or improve the <br />performance of the multimodal transportation system in Alameda County, to move people and goods, <br />and to mitigate regional transportation impacts. <br />■ Program Conformance and Monitoring: Ensure local government conformance with LOS standards, <br />Trip Reduction Program, Land Use Analysis Program, and payment of membership dues. Monitor <br />information provided by the local governments to determine whether the CMP objectives are being <br />met. <br />Plan Bay Area: Strategy for a Sustainable Region <br />Plan Bay Area is the Bay Area's Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)/Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS). <br />The Plan Bay Area was adopted jointly by ABAG and MTC July 18, 2013.25 The SCS lays out a development <br />scenario for the region, which when integrated with the transportation network and other transportation <br />measures and policies, would reduce GHG emissions from transportation (excluding goods movement) <br />beyond the per capita reduction targets identified by CARB. According to Plan Bay Area, the Plan meets a <br />16 percent per capita reduction of GHG emissions by 2035 and a 10 percent per capita reduction by 2020 <br />from 2005 conditions. <br />As part of the implementing framework for Plan Bay Area, local governments have identified Priority <br />Development Areas (PDAs) to focus growth. PDAs are transit -oriented, infill development opportunity <br />areas within existing communities. Overall, well over two-thirds of all regional growth in the Bay Area by <br />2040 is allocated within PDAs. PDAs are expected to accommodate 80 percent (or over 525,570 units) of <br />new housing and 66 percent (or 744,230) of new jobs in the region.26 The Project site is not within a <br />PDA. 27 <br />4.2.1.4 EXISTING AIR QUALITY <br />Attainment Status of the SFBAAB <br />Areas that meet AAQS are classified attainment areas, and areas that do not meet these standards are <br />classified nonattainment areas. Severity classifications for 03 range from marginal, moderate, and serious <br />to severe and extreme. The attainment status for the Air Basin is shown in Table 4.2-2. The Air Basin is <br />currently designated a nonattainment area for California and National 03, California and National PM2.5, <br />and California PM10 AAQS. <br />25 It should be noted that the Bay Area Citizens filed a lawsuit on MTC's and ABAG's adoption of Plan Bay Area. <br />26 Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), 2013.
