Environmental Checklist <br />Greenhouse Gas Emissions <br /> <br />Draft Initial Study – Mitigated Negative Declaration 75 <br />Table 18 Project Operational GHG Emissions <br />GHG Emissions Source Total GHG Emissions (MT CO2e per year) <br />Warehouse 584.5 <br />Office Use 129.2 <br />Parking Lot 44.6 <br />Landscaping 0.6 <br />Amortized Construction Emissions 13 <br />Total Annual Operational Emissions 772 <br />GHG = greenhouse gas <br />MT CO2e = metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent <br />Mobile sources include estimated passenger vehicle and truck use associated with the project. <br />Totals may not sum due to rounding. Construction emissions are amortized over the 30-year lifetime of the project. <br />Source: updated modeling outputs are included at the end of Appendix B <br />The City of San Leandro updated and approved its CAP in July 2021, which outlines strategies for <br />reducing GHG emissions through various activities, including but not limited to water conservation, <br />energy conservation, land use design and orientation, transportation-oriented development, and <br />renewable energy source use. According to the CAP, “The CAP is prepared consistent with CEQA <br />Guidelines for Plans for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (CEQA Guidelines Section <br />15183.5). Additionally, the CAP meets the criteria from the BAAQMD CEQA Thresholds for <br />Evaluating the Significance of Climate Impacts from Land Use Projects and Plans, as described under <br />Significance Thresholds. This allows the 2021 CAP to support and streamline environmental review <br />of GHG emissions related to future development projects within the city.” Therefore, a project that <br />would comply with the goals and policies of the City’s CAP would have less-than-significant GHG <br />impacts. <br />Table 19 below compares the project’s consistency with the City’s CAP. As shown therein, the <br />proposed project would be consistent with the CAP and accordingly would be consistent with an <br />adopted, qualified GHG reduction strategy. Therefore, the proposed project would not generate <br />GHG emissions that would have a significant impact on the environment. Impacts would be less <br />than significant.
