The Proposed Project comprises a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and General Development Plan Amendment (GDPA) to allow the ultimate buildout of 6,050 residential units,1.8 million square feet of commercial uses,51.4 acres of schools, 10.8 acres of community purpose facilities, 55.4acres of park, and 2.2 million square feet of industrial uses. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the significance of the Proposed Project’s GHG emissions that would occur from the construction and ongoing operation of the maximum allowable land uses under the proposed plan. The operational GHG emissions evaluated include emissions from vehicleuse, electricity consumption, natural gas combustion, water use, and solid waste disposal. Significance was determined based on the City’s threshold requiring a 20 percent reduction in the Proposed Project’s overall GHG emissions compared to a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario. This report concludes that the Proposed Project’s contribution to cumulative greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions would be less than significant. A total of 197,220.66metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2E) of GHG emissions would be emitted by the Proposed Project each year above existing conditions. This estimate represents a nearly 29-percent reduction in total GHG emissions compared to the BAU condition, which would emit 275,971.62MTCO2E of GHG emissions per year above existing conditions. This reduction is due to the Proposed Project’s incorporation of key vehicle emission reduction measures as well as increased energy-and water-saving design. Accounting for statewide regulations being imposed on the auto and fuel industries to reduce vehicle GHG emissions statewide, and project-specific design that reduces average vehicle trip lengths, transportation-related BAU emissions would be reduced nearly 40percentby the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project’s average local daily trip length would be 4.62 miles for Village 8 West and 5.08 miles for Village 9. This trip length is less than the regional average trip length of 5.8 miles, and yields a substantially lesser VMT and total vehicle fuel consumption compared to BAU. Accounting for the Proposed Project’s increased energy-and water-saving design requirements, the non-transportation-related BAU emissions (i.e., emissions from energy and water use, solid waste disposal and construction activities) would be reduced 21 percent by the Proposed Project. This reduction results from substantially reduced BAU energy and water use as required in the proposed new General Plan (GP) Policy E 7.8 and in existing City ordinances. Given its vehicle, energy and water use GHG reduction features, the Proposed Project would generate total GHG emissions 29percent lower than the total emissions projected Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 2 for BAU. The Proposed Project is therefore consistent with the City’s threshold and with the Scoping Plan and AB 32 year 2020 goals upon which it is based. The Proposed Project’s Climate Change impacts would be less than significant. 1.0Introduction This report evaluates the significance of the Proposed Project’s contribution of GHG emissions to statewide GHG emissions and GHG emissions reduction targets. To evaluate the incremental effect of Proposed Project development on statewide and global climate change, it is important to have a basic understanding of the nature of the global climate change problem. 1.1Understanding Global Climate Change Global climate change is a change in the average weather of the earth, which can be measured by wind patterns, storms, precipitation, and temperature. The earth’s climate is in a state of constant flux with periodic warming and cooling cycles. Extreme periods of cooling are termed “ice ages,” which may then be followed by extended periods of warmth. For most of the earth’s geologic history, these periods of warming and cooling have been the result of many complicated, interacting natural factors thatinclude volcanic eruptions which spew gases and particles (dust) into the atmosphere, the amount of water, vegetation, and ice covering the earth’s surface, subtle changes in the earth’s orbit, and the amount of energy released by the sun (sun cycles). However, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution around 1750, the average temperature of the earth has been increasing at a rate that is faster than can be explained by natural climate cycles alone. With the Industrial Revolution came an increase inthe combustion of carbon-based fuels such as wood, coal, oil, natural gas, and biomass. Industrial processes have also created emissions of substances that are not found in nature. This in turn has led to a marked increase in the emissions of gases that have been shown to influence the world’s climate. These gases, termed “greenhouse” gases, influence the amount of heat that is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. Because recently observed increased concentrations of GHGs in the atmosphere are related to increased emissions resulting from human activity, the current cycle of “global warming” is generally believed to be largely due to human activity. Of late, the issue of global warming or global climate change has arguably become the most important and widelydebated environmental issue in the United States and the world. Because climate change is caused by the collective of human actions taking place throughout the world, it is quintessentially a cumulative issue. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 3 1.2Greenhouse Gases of Primary Concern There are numerous GHGs, both naturally occurring and manmade. Table 1 summarizes some of the most common. Each GHG has variable atmospheric lifetime and global warming potential. The atmospheric lifetime of the GHG is the average time the molecule stays stable in the atmosphere. Most GHGs have long atmospheric lifetimes, staying in the atmosphere hundreds or thousands of years. The potential of a gas to trap heat and warm the atmosphere is measured by its global warming potential or GWP. Specifically, GWP is defined as the cumulative radiative forcing effects of a gas, both direct and indirect, integrated over a specified period of time resulting from the emission of a unit mass of gas relative to some reference gas (U.S.EPA 2002). The reference gas for GWP is carbon dioxide which, as shown in Table 1, thus has a GWP of 1. The GHGs with higher GWPs have a greater global warming effect than carbon dioxide on a molecule by molecule basis. TABLE 1 GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIALS (GWPs) AND ATMOSPHERIC LIFETIMES (YEARS) Gas Atmospheric Lifetime 100-year GWP 20-year GWP 500-year GWP Carbon Dioxide (CO2)50-200 1 1 1 Methane (CH4)a 12±3 21 56 6.5 Nitrous oxide (N20)120 310 280 170 HFC-23 264 11,700 9,100 9,800 HFC-125 32.6 2,800 4,600 920 HFC-134a 14.6 1,300 3,400 420 HFC-143a 48.3 3,800 5,000 1,400 HFC-152a 1.5 140 460 42 HFC-227ea 36.5 2,900 4,300 950 HFC-236fa 209 6,300 5,100 4,700 HFC-4310mee 17.1 1,300 3,000 400 CF4 50,000 6,500 4,400 10,000 C2F6 10,000 9,200 6,200 14,000 C4F10 2,600 7,000 4,800 10,100 C6F14 3,200 7,400 5,000 10,700 SF6 3,200 23,900 16,300 34,900 SOURCE: U.S.EPA 2002. aThe methane GWP includes the direct effects and those indirect effects due to the production of tropospheric ozone and stratospheric water vapor. The indirecteffect due to the production of CO2 is not included. Of the gases listed in Table 1, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide(N20) are produced by both biogenic (natural) and anthropogenic (human) sources. The remaining gases occur solely as the result of human processes. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic, made-made chemicals used as substitutes for ozone-depleting chloroflourocarbons in automobile air conditioners and refrigerants. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) such as CF4 are used primarily in aluminum production and Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 4 semiconductor manufacture. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is used for insulation in electric power transmission and distribution equipment. These remaining gases are not of primary concern to the Proposed Project. CO2, CH4 andN20 are the GHGs of primary concern in this analysis. Carbon dioxide would be emitted by uses allowed under the Proposed Project during the combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles, from electricity generation and natural gas consumption, and from solid waste disposal. Smaller amounts of methane and nitrous oxide would be emitted from the same Project operations. More information on the background of global warming and GHGs can be found in Attachment 1, Understanding Global Climate Change. 2.0Project Description 2.1Development Summary The Otay Ranch GPA and GDPA (collectively known as the Proposed Project) is composed of two parcels of land (Village 8 West and Village 9) located within the Otay Ranch villages planning area. The intent of the Proposed Project is to redefine village boundaries to create Village 8 West and Village 9 as cohesive and integrated village areas which correspond to the City’s General Plan. The Proposed Projectalso includes an 85-acre Regional Technology Park (RTP) within the Planning Area10/University Site. The discretionary actions required to implement the Proposed Project include a GPA and Otay Ranch GDPA. The Proposed Project is located south of Olympic Parkway, west and east of State Route 125 (SR-125) in the Otay Ranch community in the eastern part of the City (Figure1). The proposed GPA and GDPA would revise text and graphics relevant to the subject village areas in these plansto allow the ultimate buildout of 6,050 residential units,1.8 million square feet of commercial and 2.2 million square feet of industrial uses, 10.8 acres of community purpose use, 51.4 acres of schools, and 55.4 acres of park use on currently vacant land (Figure 2). Figure 3shows the land use plan of the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project’splan of land uses have been guided by principles that encourage walkability, mixed-use, alternative modes of transportation, and preservation of a large amount of open space.

The City currently has two key Municipal Code ordinances that require advanced water conservation, energy efficiency and other measures that would reduce the emission of GHGs. These ordinances are discussed later in Section 3.2.4.5 and Section 3.2.4.6 and are attached in their entirety as Attachment 2. An overview of the major GHG reducing benefits of these existing ordinances is described below. 2.2.1Energy Efficiency In accordance with the City’s current energy code and Increased Energy Efficiency Standards (Municipal Code Chapter 15.26, Section 15.26.030), the Proposed Project developmentshall exceed the current 2008 California Energy Code’s residential energy efficiency standards by 15 percent. Projects would accomplish this through improved Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning (HVAC)systems and duct seals; enhanced ceiling, attic and wall insulation; EnergyStar appliances; high-efficiency water heaters; energy-efficient three-coat stucco exteriors; energy-efficient lighting; and high-efficiency window glazing. These energy features would undergo independent third party inspection and diagnostics as part of the City’s verification and commissioning process. 2.2.2Water Conservation In accordance with the City’s current Green Building Standards (Municipal Code Chapter 15.12), residential and commercial buildings would be required to be designed to use at least 20 percent less water per unit than buildings compliant with the existing plumbing code. This would be achieved through advanced plumbing systems such as parallel hot water piping or hot water recirculation systems, and fixtures such as ultra-low flow toilets, water-saving showerheads and kitchen faucets, and buyer-optional high- efficiency clothes washers. As required by the Standards, the 20-percent reduction in potable water use shall be demonstrated by verifying each plumbing fixture and fitting meets the 20percent reduced flow rate or by calculatinga 20-percent reduction in the building water use baseline. In addition to these indoor water use conservation features, projects would be required to design outdoor landscaping that minimizes turf, maximizes drought-tolerant plants, and incorporates weather-based irrigation controllers, multi-programmable irrigation Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 9 clocks, and a high-efficiency drip irrigation system. Also at the time of final inspection, a manual shall be placed in each building that includes, among other things, information about waterconservation. 2.2.3Materials Use and Waste Reduction In accordance with the Green Building Standards and state and local laws, at least 50percent of on-site construction waste and ongoing operational waste would be diverted from landfills through reuse and recycling. To further minimize waste, the Standards require projects to incorporate recycled materials for such things as flooring, and to use certified sustainable wood products and other recycled or rapidly renewable building materials where possible. Areas for storage and collection of recyclables and yard waste are also required to be provided for each residence. 2.2.4Pollutant Control and Heat Island Reduction To maximize shade and reduce heat island effects, the landscape plans of subsequent projects would be required to include strategic location of deciduous trees and other vegetation, as well as the possible use of cool or green roofs. Impervious surfaces, including paved parking areas, are required to be minimized and pervious pavers and materials used instead where practical. No CFC-based refrigerants are allowed, and interior finishes, adhesives, sealants, paints and coatings, and carpet systems would be required to be low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and meet the testing and product requirements of one or more nationally recognized green product labeling programs. Compliance with these requirements shall be verified through documentation. 3.0Existing Conditions 3.1Environmental Setting 3.1.1Regional Climate The climate of the region which encompasses the City of Chula Vista is identified as Mediterranean, which is characterized by warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Clear skies predominate for much of the year due to a semi-permanent high-pressure cell located over the Pacific Ocean. This high-pressure cell also drives the dominant onshore circulation and helps to create subsidence and radiation temperature inversions. Subsidence inversions occur during the warmer months when descending air associated with the high-pressure cell comes in contact with cool marine air. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 10 Radiation inversions typically occur on winter nights when air near the ground cools by radiation and the air aloft remains warm. An average of 10 inches of rain falls each year from November to early April,while the remainder of the year is typically dry. Typically, measurable rain falls on 20 days per year, with only six of these days experiencing moderate (0.5 inch in 24 hours) rainfall. 3.1.2State and Regional GHG Inventories 3.1.2.1California GHG Inventory The CARB performsstatewide inventories. The inventory is divided into nine broad sectors of economic activity: agriculture, commercial, electricity generation, forestry,high GWP emitters,industrial, recycling and waste, residential, and transportation. Emissions are quantified in million MTCO2E. Table 2 shows the estimated statewide GHG emissions for the years 1990, 2000, 2004, and 2008. TABLE 2 CALIFORNIA GHG EMISSIONS BY SECTOR IN 1990, 2000, 2004,AND 2008 Sector 1990 Emissions in MMTCO2E (% total)1 2000 Emissions in MMTCO2E (% total)1 2004 Emissions in MMTCO2E (% total)1 2008 Emissions in MMTCO2E (% total)1 Sources Agriculture 23.4 (5%)25.44 (6%)28.82 (6%)28.06 (6%) Commercial 14.4 (3%)12.80 (3%)13.20 (3%)14.68 (3%) Electricity Generation 110.6 (26%)103.92 (23%)119.96 (25%)116.35 (24%) Forestry (excluding sinks)0.2 (<1%)0.19 (<1%)0.19 (<1%)0.19 (<1%) High GWP --10.95 (2%)13.57 (3%)15.65 (3%) Industrial 103.0 (24%)97.27 (21%)90.87 (19%)92.66 (19%) Recycling and Waste --6.20 (1%)6.23 (1%)6.71 (1%) Residential 29.7 (7%)30.13 (7%)29.34 (6%)28.45 (6%) Transportation 150.7 (35%)171.13 (37%)181.71 (38%)174.99 (37%) Unspecified Remaining2 1.3(<1%)------ Subtotal 433.3 458.03 483.89 477.74 Sinks Forestry Sinks -6.7 (--)-4.72 (--)-4.32 (--)-3.98 (--) TOTAL 426.6 453.31 479.57 473.76 SOURCE: CARB 2007, 2010a. 1Percents may not total 100 due to rounding.2The remaining are from unspecified fuel combustion and ozone depleting substance (ODS) substitute use which could not be attributed to an individual sector. As shown in Table 2, statewide GHG emissions totaled 433 MMTCO2Ein 1990, 458 MMTCO2E in 2000,484 MMTCO2Ein 2004, and 478 MMTCO2E in 2008.According to data from the CARB, it appears that statewide GHG emissions peaked in 2004 and are now beginning to decrease (CARB 2010a). Transportation-related emissions consistently contribute the mostGHG emissions, followed by electricity generation and industrial emissions. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 11 The forestry sector is unique because it not only includes emissions associated with harvest, fire, and land use conversion, but also includes removals of atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis, which is then bound (sequestered) in plant tissues. As seen in Table2, the forestry sector consistently removesmore CO2 from the atmosphere statewide than it emits. As a result, although decreasing over time, this sector representsa net sink, removing a net 6.7 MMTCO2E from the atmosphere in 1990,anet 4.7 MMTCO2E in 2000, a net4.3 MMTCO2E in 2004, and a net 4.0MMTCO2E in 2008. 3.1.2.2San Diego County GHG Inventory A San Diego County regional emissions inventory was prepared by the University of San Diego that took into account the unique characteristics of the region. The 2006 emissions inventory for San Diego County is duplicated below in Table 3. The sectors included in this inventory are somewhat different than those in the statewide inventory. TABLE 3 SAN DIEGO COUNTY GHG EMISSIONS BY SECTOR IN 2006 Sector 2006 Emissions in MMTCO2E (% total)1 Agriculture/Forestry/Land Use 0.7 (2%) Waste 0.7 (2%) Electricity 9 (25%) Natural Gas Consumption 3 (8%) Industrial Processes & Products 1.6 (5%) On-Road Transportation 16 (45%) Off-Road Equipment & Vehicles 1.3 (4%) Civil Aviation 1.7 (5%) Rail 0.3 (<1%) Water-Borne Navigation 0.127 (<0.5%) Other Fuels/Other 1.1 (3%) Total 35.5 SOURCE: San Diego County Greenhouse Gas Inventory: An Analysis of Regional Emissions and Strategies to Achieve AB 32 Targets.

Similar to the statewide emissions, transportation-related GHG emissions contributed the most countywide, followed by emissions associated with energy use. 3.1.2.3City of Chula Vista GHG Inventory As part of monitoring its progress in attaining the goals of its CO2 Reduction Plan (see Section 3.2.4.2 below), the City of Chula Vista inventoried citywide GHG emissions in 2005 and 2008. The 2005 GHG Emissions Inventory was the first formal evaluation of Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 12 the City’s progress in reaching its emissions goals, and the 2008 GHG Emissions Inventory was the second formal evaluation (City of Chula Vista 2005, 2008a). The 2008 GHG Emissions Inventory separates emissions into two major categories, community and municipal. The community analysis represents the quantity of GHG emissions produced throughout the entire City in both public and private sectors. The municipal analysis represents emissions only from City facilities and operations. In 2008, community GHG emissions in the City totaled 934,630MTCO2E. Transportation and mobile sourcesaccounted for approximately 44 percent of this total. This is 29 percent higher than 1990 levels and 17percent higher than 2005 levels citywide and is attributed to population growth. In 2008, municipal GHG emissions in the City totaled 16,817 MTCO2E. Transportation and mobiles sources accounted for approximately 46 percent of this total. Emissions from municipal buildings and the municipal vehicle fleet increased from 1990 levels but decreased 17 percent from the 2005 levels. 3.1.2.4Project Site GHG Emissions The Proposed Project site is located in the south central portion of the Otay Ranch GDP area. The Otay Ranch GDP area is former agricultural ranch land historically used for ranching, grazing, and dry farming. It is currently vacant of development and is thus not a source of anthropogenic GHGs. Disturbed and undisturbed natural vegetation comprise the site’s dominant land cover. Natural vegetation and soils temporarily store and release carbon as part of the terrestrial carbon cycle. Plants absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis as they grow, store it in solid form during the life of the plant, and release it again as a gas when they die and decompose. Soil carbon accumulates from inputs of plants and animal matter, roots, and other living components of the soil ecosystem (e.g.bacteria, worms). Soil carbon is released through biological respiration, or through soil erosion and other forms of soil disturbance. These emissions of carbon dioxide from the Project site are not readily quantifiable, but are likely small from a regional perspective. Negligible emissions of methane and nitrous oxides may also be occurring due to on-site decomposition of wood, or any vegetative matter or waste, or to residue oxidation. 3.1.3Consequences of Global Climate Change CARB projects a future statewide GHG emissions increase of over 23percent (from 2004) by 2020 given current trends (CARB 2008c). The 2008 EPIC study predicts a countywide increase to 43 MMTCO2E or roughly 20percent (from 2006) by 2020, given Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 13 a BAU trajectory. Global GHG emissions forecasts also predict similar substantial increases, given a BAU trajectory. The potential consequences of global climate change on the San Diego region are far reaching. The Climate Scenarios report, published in 2006 by the California Climate Change Center, uses a range of emissions scenarios to project a series of potential warming ranges (low, medium or high temperature increases) that may occur in California during the 21st century. Throughout the state and the region, global climate and local microclimate changes could cause an increase in extreme heat days; higher concentrations, frequency and duration of air pollutants; an increase in wildfires; more intense coastal storms; sea level rise; impacts to watersupply and water quality through reduced snowpack and saltwater influx; public health impacts; impacts to near-shore marine ecosystems; reduced quantity and quality of agricultural products; pest population increases; and altered natural ecosystems and biodiversity. 3.2Regulatory Background In response to rising concern associated with increasing GHG emissions and global climate change impacts, numerous plans, policies and regulations have been adopted at the international, national, state and local levels with the aim of reducing GHG emissions. 3.2.1International 3.2.1.1Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer Human caused effects on the global atmosphere first became widely known to the public at large in the mid-1970s when it was discovered that a number of substances, particularly chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used in refrigeration, when released into the atmosphere could cause the breakdown of significant quantities of the earth’s protective ozone (O3) in the stratosphere (i.e., the “ozone layer”). Somewhat concurrent with this was the discovery of the now well documented “ozone hole” over Antarctica. The ozone layer filters out most of the ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation reaching the earth. Therefore, destruction of the ozone layer would allow more UV-B radiation to reach the earth’s surface potentially leading to increases in skin cancer and other effects such as crop damage and adverse effects on marine phytoplankton. In response to these concerns, the Coordinating Committee on the Ozone Layer was established by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) in 1977, and UNEP's Governing Council adopted the World Plan of Action on the Ozone Layer. Continuing efforts led to the signing in 1985 of the Vienna Convention on the Protection of the Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 14 Ozone Layer. This led to the creation of the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol), an international treaty designed to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out production of ozone depleting substances. The Montreal Protocol was adopted on September 16, 1987 and was enacted on January 1, 1989. The Protocol has been revised five times since 1989,most recently in 1999. This treaty is considered one of the most successful international treaties on environmental protection in the world, with ratification by 191 countries including the United States. By the end of 2006, the 191 parties to the treaty had phased out over 95 percent of ozone depleting substances (UNEP 2007). Because of this success, scientists are now predicting that the ozone hole will “heal” later this century. The elimination of these ozone-depleting substances also has benefits relative to global climate change because most of these substances are also potent GHGs with very high GWPs, ranging from 4,680 to 10,720 (UNEP 2007, Australian Government 2007). However, the phasing out of ozone depleting substances has led to an increase in the use of non-ozone depleting substances such ashydrofluorocarbons(HFCs) which, although not detrimental to the ozone layer, are also potent GHGs. As shown in Table1, these substances have GWPs ranging from 140 to 11,700. 3.2.1.2Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change In response to growing concern about pollutants in the upper atmosphere and the potential problem of climate change, the World Meteorological Organization and the UNEP established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. The IPCC was tasked with assessing the scientific, technical, and socioeconomic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis for human-induced climate change, its potential impacts, and options for adaptation and mitigation. The most recent reports of the IPCC have emphasized the scientific consensus that real and measurable changes to the climate are occurring, that they are caused by human activity, and that significant adverse impacts on the environment, the economy, and human health and welfare are unavoidable. 3.2.1.3United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change In 1994,the Unites States joined a number of other nations in signing an international treaty known as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UNFCCC recognized that global climate is a shared resource that can be affected by industrial and other emissions of greenhouses gases, and set an overall framework for intergovernmental efforts to tackle the challenges posed by global climate Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 15 change. As with the Montreal Protocol, this treaty was ratified by 191 countries including the United States. Under this treaty, governments were to (UNFCCC 2007a): •Gather and share information on GHG emissions, national policies and best practices; •Launch national strategies for addressing GHG emissions and adapting to expected impacts; and •Cooperate with other nations in preparing for adaptation to the impacts of climate change. The UNFCCC divided countries into three main groups according to differing commitments based on economic strength, vulnerability to adverse climate change impacts, and capacityto respond or adapt to climate change effects. The stronger economic nations, including the United States, were to provide financial and technological support to developing countriesto enable them to undertake emissions reduction activities and to help them adapt to adverse effects of climate change. The UNFCCC was enacted in March 1994; however, it generally lacked powerful, legally binding measures. This led to the development of the Kyoto Protocol. 3.2.1.4Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC Knowing that theUNFCCC did not contain the legally binding measures that would be required to meaningfully address global climate change, a conference of the UNFCCC signatory nations was held in Berlin in 1995 that launched a new round of discussions to determine more detailed and stronger commitments for industrialized countries (the Berlin Mandate). After two and a half years of negotiations, the Kyoto Protocol was adopted in December 1997 (UNFCCC 2007c). While the 1997 Kyoto Protocol shared the UNFCCC’s objectives, itcommitted signatories to individual, legally binding targets to limit or reduce their GHG emissions. By March 1999, 84 countries, including the United States, had signed the Kyoto Protocol (UNFCCC 2009). Only Parties to the UNFCCC that have also become Parties to the Kyoto Protocol are bound by the Kyoto Protocol’s commitments. Governments become Parties to the Protocol by ratifying, accepting, approving, or acceding to it.Because of the complexity of the negotiations and uncertainty associated with the rules or how they would operate, several of the signing countries, including the United States, were reluctant to actually ratify the Protocol. Therefore a new round of negotiations was undertaken to flesh out the Kyoto Protocol’s rulebook. These negotiations concluded with the adoption of the Marrakesh Accords in 2001. With the adoption of the Marrakesh Accords, the Protocol was enacted in February 2005, and by July 2009, 184 governments had become Parties to the Protocol (UNFCCC 2007c, 2009). In December 2009, a Copenhagen Accord was held to address global climate change issues in the future;however,no further Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 16 measures were adopted. Another Accord is planned for December 2010 in Cancun, Mexico. Although a signer to the Kyoto Protocol, to date theU.S. has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol,because it does not mandate emissions reductions from all countries, including several developing countries whose GHG emissions are expected to exceed emissions from developed countries within the next 25 years (U.S.EPA2007a). 3.2.2National 3.2.2.1Clean Air Act, Title VI -Stratospheric Ozone Protection Similar to the Montreal Protocol discussed above, Title VI of the Clean Air Act was established to protect stratospheric ozone by phasing out the manufacture of ozone- depleting substances, and by restricting their use and distribution (U.S.EPA 2007b). Also similar to the Montreal Protocol, while successful in phasing out ozone depleting substances, Title VI has inadvertently led to an increase in the production and use of non-ozone depleting substitutes such as HFCs that are global warming gases with high GWPs and relatively long atmospheric lifetimes. 3.2.2.2Climate Change Action Plan Adopted in 1993, the U.S. Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) consists of voluntary actions to reduce all significant GHGs from all economic sectors. Backed by federal funding, the CCAP supports cooperative partnerships between the government and the private sector in establishing flexible and cost-effective ways to reduce GHG emissions. The CCAP encourages investments in new technologies, but also relies on previous actions and programs focused on saving energy, reducing transportation emissions, improving forestry management, and reducing waste. With respect to energy and transportation-related GHG emissions reductions, the CCAP includes the following (U.S. Global Change Research Information Office 1993). •Energy Demand Actions to accelerate the use of existing energy saving technologies and encourage the development of more advanced technologies. Commercial actions focus on installing efficient heating and cooling systems in commercial buildings and upgrading to energy-efficient lighting systems (the Green Lights program). The State Buildings Energy Incentive Fund provides funding to statesfor the development of public building energy management programs. Residential actions focus on developing new residential energy standards and building codes and providing money-saving energy efficient options to homeowners. •Energy Supply Actions to reduce emissions from energy supply. These actions focus on increasing the use of natural gas, which emits less CO2 than coal or oil, and Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 17 investing in renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, which result in zero net CO2 emissions. Energy supply strategies also focus on reducing the amount of energy lost during distribution from power plants to consumers. •Transportation Actions to reduce transportation related emissions are focused on investing in cleaner fuels and more efficient technologies and reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Also, the U.S.EPA and Department of Transportation (DOT) are to draft guidance documents for reducing VMTs for us in developing local clean air programs. 3.2.2.3GHG Emissions Intensity Reduction Programs The GHG Emissions Intensity is the ratio of GHG emissions to economic output. In 2002, the U.S. GHG Emissions Intensity was 183 metric tons per million dollars of Gross Domestic Product (U.S.EPA 2007c). In February 2002, the U.S. set a goal to reduce this GHG Emissions Intensity by 18 percent by 2012 through various reduction programs. A number of ongoing voluntary programs have thus been instituted to reduce nationwide GHG emissions. These include (U.S.EPA 2007c): •Climate VISION Partnership:In 2003, this program established a partnership between 12 major industries and the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE), the U.S.EPA, the DOT and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The involved industries include electric utilities; petroleum refiners and natural gas producers; automobile, iron and steel, chemical and magnesium manufacturers; forest and paper producers; railroads; and cement, mining, aluminum, and semiconductor industries. These industries are working with the four agencies to reduce their GHG emissions by developing cost-effective solutions, measuring and reporting emissions, developing strategies for the adoption of advanced technologies, and implementing voluntary mitigation actions. •Cleaner Energy-Environment State Partnership: This program established a partnership between federal and state agencies to support states in implementing strategies and policies to promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and other cost-effective clean energies. States receive technical assistance from the U.S.EPA. •Climate Leaders:Climate Leaders is a U.S.EPA voluntary program that establishes partnerships with individual companies. Together they establish individual corporate goals for GHG emissions reduction and monitor their emissions to measure progress. More than 100 corporations that represent 8 percent of U.S. GHG emissions are involved in Climate Leaders. More than half have reached their emissions goals so far. •Energy Star:Energy Star was established in 1992 by the U.S.EPA and became a joint program with the U.S. DOE in 1996. Energy Star is a program that labels energy Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 18 efficient products with the Energy Star label. Energy Star enables consumers to choose energy efficient and cost saving products. More than 1,400 manufacturers use Energy Star labels on their energy efficient products. •Green Power Partnership:This program establishes partnerships between the U.S.EPA and companies and organizations that have bought or are considering buying green power, which is power generated from renewable energy sources. The U.S.EPA offers recognition and promotion to organizations that replace electricity consumption with green power. 3.2.2.4Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards The federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards determine the fuel efficiency of certain vehicle classes in the U.S. While the standards had not changed since 1990, in 2007, as part of the Energy and Security Act of 2007, the CAFE standards were increased for new light-duty vehicles to 35 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2020. In May 2009, President Obama announced further plans to increase CAFE standards to require light duty vehicles to meet an average fuel economy of 35.5 mpg by 2016. With improved gas mileage, fewer gallons of transportation fuel would be combusted to travel the same distance, thereby reducing nationwide GHG emissions associated with vehicle travel. 3.2.2.5Mandatory Reporting of GHGs Rule Starting January 1, 2010, large emitters of heat-trapping gases are to begin collecting GHG data and reporting their annual GHG emissions to the U.S. EPA. Under this reporting Rule, approximately 10,000 facilities would be covered, accounting for nearly 85 percent of the nation’s GHG emissions. This mandatory reporting applies to fossil fuel and industrial GHG suppliers, motor vehicle and engine manufacturers, and facilities that emit 25,000 MTCO2E or more per year. Vehicle and engine manufacturers outside of the light-duty sector are required to begin phasing in their GHG reporting starting with engine/vehicle model year 2011. 3.2.3State The State of California has adopted a number of plans and regulations aimed at identifying statewide and regional GHG emissions caps, GHG emissions reduction targets, and actions and timelines to achieve the target GHG reductions. 3.2.3.1EO S-3-05–Statewide GHG Emission Targets This executive order (EO) signed by Governor Schwarzenegger on June 1, 2005, established the following GHG emission reduction targets for the state of California: Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 19 •By 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels; •By 2020 reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels; •By 2050 reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels. This executive order also directs the secretary of the CalEPA to oversee the efforts made to reach these targets, and to prepare biannual reports on the progressmade toward meeting the targets and on the impacts to California related to global warming, including impacts to water supply, public health, agriculture, the coastline, and forestry. With regard to impacts, the report shall also prepare and report on mitigation and adaptation plans to combat the impacts. The first Climate Action Team Assessment Report was produced in March 2006 and has been updated biennially. 3.2.3.2AB 32 –California Global Warming Solutions Act In response to Executive Order S-3-05,the California legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 32 (Nuñez), the “California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006”, which was signed by the governor on September 27, 2006. It requires the CARB to adopt rules and regulations that would reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The CARB is also required to publish a list of discrete GHG emission reduction measures. Specifically, AB 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, requires CARB to (State of California 2006): •Establish a statewide GHG emissions cap for 2020, based on 1990 emissions by January 1, 2008. In December 2007, CARB approved a 2020 emission limit of 427 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. •Adopt mandatory reporting rules for significant sources of GHGs by January 1, 2009. In December 2007, CARB adopted regulations requiring the largest industrial sources to report and verify their GHG emissions. Facilities began tracking emissions in 2008 and reports were due June 1, 2009. Emissions reporting for 2008 was allowed tobe based on best available data. Beginning in 2010, emissions reports are to be more rigorous and subject to third-party verification. This action builds on the earlier SB 177 (Sher) enacted in 2000 which established a nonprofit California Climate ActionRegistry for the purpose of administering a voluntary GHG emissions registry. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 20 •Adopt a plan by January 1, 2009 indicating how emission reductions will be achieved from significant GHG sources via regulations, market mechanisms and other actions. A ClimateChange Scoping Plan (Scoping Plan) was approved on December 12, 2008. The Scoping Plan contains the main strategies California will implement to achieve a reduction of 174 million MTCO2E GHG emissions, or approximately 29 percent from the state’s projected 2020 emission level of 596 million MTCO2E under a BAU scenario. The Scoping Plan is discussed in greater detail in Section 3.2.3.3 below. •Adopt regulations by January 1, 2011 to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective reductions in GHG, including provisions for using both market mechanisms and alternative compliance mechanisms. •Convene an Environmental Justice Advisory Committee and an Economic and Technology Advancement Advisory Committee to advise CARB. In January 2007, the CARB appointed a ten member Environmental Justice Advisory Committee and appointed members to the Economic and Technology Advancement Advisory Committee. •Ensure public notice and opportunity for comment for all CARB actions. A number of CARB documents, including the 2020 Emissions Forecast, the Scoping Plan, and the Draft Recommended Approaches for Setting Interim Significance Thresholds, have been circulated for public review and comment. •Prior to imposing any mandates or authorizing market mechanisms, CARBmust evaluate several factors, including but not limited to impacts on California's economy, the environment and public health; equity between regulated entities; electricity reliability; conformance with other environmental laws; and ensure that the rules do not disproportionately impact low-income communities. 3.2.3.3Climate Change Scoping Plan As directed by AB 32, the Climate Change Scoping Plan prepared by CARB in December 2008 includes the measures in Table 4 to reduce statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. CARB identified these reductions as necessary to reduce forecasted BAU 2020 emissions by approximately 174 MMTCO2E. CARB will update the Scoping Plan at least once every five years to allow evaluation of progress made and to correct the Plan’s course where necessary. As shown in Table 4, the majority of the reductions are to come from the two sectors that generate the most GHG emissions statewide—transportation and electricity generation. Transportation-related GHG emissions account for approximately 38 percent of the TABLE 4 CARB SCOPING PLANRECOMMENDED GHG REDUCTION MEASURES Recommended Reduction Measures Reductions Counted Towards 2020 Target In MMTCO2E (% subtotal)((% total))2 ESTIMATED REDUCTIONS RESULTING FROM THE COMBINATION OF CAPPED SECTORS AND COMPLEMENTARY MEASURES 146.7 California Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Standards •Implement Pavley Standards •Develop Pavley II light-duty vehicle standards 31.7 (22%)((18%)) Energy Efficiency •Building/appliance efficiency, new programs, etc. •Increase CHP generation by 30,000 GWh •Solar Water Heating (AB 1470 goal) 26.3 (18%)((15%)) Renewables Portfolio Standard (33% by 2020)21.3 (14%)((12%)) Low Carbon Fuel Standard 15 (10%)((9%)) Regional Transportation-Related GHG Targets1 5 (4%)((3%)) Vehicle Efficiency Measures 4.5 (3%)((3%)) Goods Movement •Ship Electrification at Ports •System-Wide Efficiency Improvements 3.7 (3%)((2%)) Million Solar Roofs 2.1 (2%)((1%)) Medium/Heavy Duty Trucks •Heavy-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction (Aerodynamic Efficiency) •Medium-and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Hybridization 1.4 (<1%)((<1%)) High Speed Rail 1.0 (<1%)((<1%)) Industrial Measures (for sources covered under cap&trade program) •Refinery Measures •Energy Efficiency and Co-Benefits Audits 0.3 (<.5%)((<.5%)) Additional Reductions Necessary to Achieve the Cap 34.4 (23%)((20%)) ESTIMATED REDUCTIONS RESULTING FROM UNCAPPED SECTORS 27.3 Industrial Measures (for sources not covered under cap&trade program) •Oil and Gas Extraction and Transmission 1.1 ((<1%)) High Global Warming Potential Gas Measures 20.2 ((12%)) Sustainable Forests 5.0 ((3%)) Recycling and Waste (landfill methane capture)1.0 ((.6%)) TOTAL REDUCTIONS COUNTED TOWARDS 2020 TARGET 1743 SOURCE: Table 2 of the Climate Change Scoping Plan: A Framework for Change.

December 2008. 1 This number represents an estimate of what may be achieved from local land use changes. It is not the SB 375 regional target. CARB will establish regional targets for each Metropolitan Planning Organization following input of the Regional Targets Advisory Committee and a public stakeholders consultation process per SB 375. 2(Percentages)are relative to the capped sector subtotal of 146.7 MMTCO2E, and ((percentages)) are relative to the total target reduction of 174 MMTCO2E,and may not total 100 due to rounding. 3 The total reduction for the recommended measures slightly exceeds the 169 MMTCO2E of reductions estimated in the BAU 2020 Emissions Forecast. This is the net effect of adding several measures and adjusting the emissions reduction estimates for some other measures. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 22 forecasted BAU 2020 emissions and over 36 percent of the targeted total reductions. Energy-related emissions (including those from electric power generation, commercial and residential energy use, and industrial oil and natural gas refineries) account for approximately 48 percent of the forecasted BAU 2020 emissions and more than 29percent of the targeted total reductions. As indicated in Table 4 and described in greater detail in the following sections, the majority of these reductions in transportation-related and energy-related GHG emissions are to be achieved through statewide regulatory mandates affecting vehicle and fuel manufacture, public transit, and public energy utilities. The remaining reductions are to be achieved through direct regulation and price incentive measures affecting oil and gas extraction industries, forestry practices (including increased tree planting programs), landfill methane capture, and restrictions on high GWP gases (used in select industries). The three measures most applicable to the City’s control over land use planning and development are the Regional Transportation-Related GHG Targets,the Energy Efficiency, and the Million Solar Roofs measures. Implementing these three measures accounts for a reduction of 33.4 MMTCO2E emissions, or approximately20percent, of the total statewide GHG emissions reductions. CARB also lists several other recommended measures which will contribute toward achieving the 2020 statewide reductiongoal, but whose reductions are not (for various reasons, including the potential for doublecounting) additive with the measures listed in Table 4. These include state and local government operations measures, green building, mandatory commercial recycling and other additional waste and recycling measures, water sector measures, and methane capture at large dairies. The Scoping Plan reduction measures and complementary regulations are described further in the following sections, and are grouped under the two headings of Transportation-Related Emissions Reductions and Non-Transportation-Related Emissions Reductions as representative of the sectors to which they apply. Transportation-Related Emissions Reductions Transportation accounts for the largest share of the state’s GHG emissions. Accordingly, a large share of the reduction of GHG emissions from the recommended measures comes from this sector. To address emissions from vehicles, CARB is proposing a comprehensive three-prongstrategy: reducing GHG emissions from vehicles, reducing the carbon content of the fuel these vehicles burn, and reducing the miles these vehicles travel. 3.2.3.4AB 1493 –Pavley Greenhouse Gas Vehicle Standards AB 1493 (Pavley) enacted July 2002, directed CARB to adopt vehicle standards that lowered GHG emissions from passenger vehicles and light duty trucks to the maximum Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 23 extent technologically feasible, beginning with the 2009 model year. CARB adopted regulations in 2004 and applied to the U.S. EPA for a waiver under the federal Clean Air Act to implement them. Under federal law, California is the only state allowed to adopt its own vehicle standards, but it cannot implement them until the U.S. EPA grants an administrative waiver. In December 2004 the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers sued CARB to block implementation of the new regulations and ultimately, in December 2007, a federal judge decided the case in favor of the CARB (Sacramento Bee 2007). Despite this ruling, the U.S.EPA denied CARB’s waiver request in February 2008.In January 2008, the State of California sued the U.S.EPA in an attempt to overturn the U.S. EPA’s denial (Marten Law Group 2008). CARB adopted amendments to its new regulations in September 2009 that would enforce AB 1493 but provide vehicle manufacturers with new compliance flexibility. On June 30, 2009, the U.S. EPA rejected its earlier waiver denial reasoning and granted California the authority to implement these GHG emissions reduction standards for new passenger cars, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles. With this action, it is expected that the new regulations will reduce GHG emissions from California passenger vehicles by about 22 percent in 2012 and about 30 percent in 2016 (CARB 2010b) for a total reduction of 31.7 MMTCO2E counted toward the total statewide reduction target (CARB 2008b) (see Table 4). These reductions are to come from improved vehicle technologies such as small engines with superchargers, continuously variable transmissions, and hybrid electric drives. 3.2.3.5EO S-01-07–Low Carbon Fuel Standard This executive order signed by Governor Schwarzenegger in January 2007, directed that a statewide goal be established to reduce the carbon intensity of California’s transportation fuels by at least 10 percent by 2020 through a Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). CARB adopted the LCFS as a discrete early action measure pursuant to AB 32 in April 2009 and includes it as a reduction measure in its Scoping Plan (see Table 4). The LCFS is a performance standard with flexible compliancemechanisms intended to incentivize the development of a diverse set of clean, low-carbon transportation fuel options. Its aim is to accelerate the availability and diversity of low-carbon fuels such as biofuels, electricity and hydrogen, by taking into consideration the full life-cycle of GHG emissions. A 10 percent reduction in the intensity of transportation fuels is expected to equate to a reduction of 16.5 MMTCO2E in 2020. However, in order to account for possible overlap of benefits between LCFS and the Pavley GHG standards, CARB has discounted the contribution of LCFS to 15 MMTCO2E (CARB 2008b). Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 24 3.2.3.6Regional Transportation-Related GHG Targets The Regional Transportation-Related GHG Targets measure included in the Scoping Plan identifies policies to reduce transportation emissions through changes in future land use patterns and community design, as well as through improvements in public transportation, that reduce VMT. By reducing the miles vehicles travel, vehicle emissions will be reduced. Improved planning and the resulting development are seen as essential for meeting the 2050 emissions target (CARB 2008b p. 20). CARB expects that this measure will reduce transportation-related GHG emissions by about 5 MMTCO2E or 4percent of the total statewide reductions attributed to the capped sectors (Table 4). Specific regional reduction targets established through SB-375 will determine more accurately what reductions can be achieved through this measure. 3.2.3.7SB 375 –Regional Emissions Targets SB375 was signed in September 2008 and requires CARB to set regional targets for reducing passenger vehicle GHG emissions in accordance with the Scoping Plan measure described above. Its purpose is to align regional transportation planning efforts, regional GHG reduction targets, and land use and housing allocation to reduce GHG emissions by promoting high-density, mixed-use developments around mass transit hubs. CARB, in consultation with statewide Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), is to provide each affected region with passenger vehicle GHG emissions reduction targets for 2020 and 2035 by September 30, 2010. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is the San Diego region’s MPO. On August 9, 2010 CARB released the staff report on the proposed reduction targetfor San Diego County, which was subsequently approved by CARB on September 23, 2010. The San Diego region will be required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks 7percent per capita by 2020 and 13percent by2035 (SANDAG 2010a). The reduction targets are to be updated every 8 years, but can be updated every 4 years if advancements in emissions technologies affect the reduction strategies to achieve the targets. Once reduction targets are established, SB 375 requires MPOsin California to prepare andadopt a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) that demonstrates how the region will meet itsgreenhouse gas reduction targets through integrated land use, housing, and transportation planning. Enhanced public transit service combined with incentives for land use development that provides a better market for public transit willplay an important role in the SCS. After the SCS is adopted by theMPO, theSCS will beincorporated into that region's federally enforceable RTP.SANDAG hascompleted work on the 2050 RTP, the first such plan in the state that will include an SCS (CARB 2010c; SANDAG 2010a). CARB is also required toreview each finalSCS to determine whether it would, if implemented, achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction target Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 25 for its region. If the combination of measures in the SCS will not meet the region’s target, the MPO must prepare a separate Alternative Planning Strategy (APS) to meet the target.The APS is not a part of theRTP. As an incentive to encourage implementation of the SCS and APS, developers can obtain relief from certain requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for those projects that are consistent with either the SCS or APS (CARB 2010c). 3.2.3.8EO S-7-04/SB 1505 –California Hydrogen Highway Network This executive order signed in 2004 designated California’s 21 interstate freeways as the “California Hydrogen Highway Network”, and directed the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) andall other relevant state agencies to plan and build a network of hydrogen fueling stations along these roadways and in the urban centers. This EO also called for the rapid transition to a hydrogen economy in California by January 1, 2005. In response to this EO, SB 1505 (Lowenthal) was passed a year later requiring the CARB to adopt regulations to ensure that the production and use of hydrogen for transportation purposes contributes to the reduction of GHGs and other air contaminants (Union of Concerned Scientists 2007). a.Non-Transportation-Related Emissions Reductions In the energy sector, Scoping Plan measures aim to provide better information and overcome institutional barriers that slow the adoption of cost-effective energy efficiency technologies. They include enhanced energy efficiency programs to provide incentives for customers to purchase and install more efficient products and processes; and building and appliance standards to ensure that manufacturers and builders bring improved products to market. Over the long term, the recommended measures will increase the amount of electricity from renewable energy sources and improve the energy efficiency of industries, homes and buildings. While energy efficiency gains the largest emissions reductions from this sector, other land development applicable measures such as water conservation, materials use and waste reduction, and green building design and development practices, achieve additional emissions reduction. 3.2.3.9Renewables Portfolio Standard The Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) promotes diversification of the state’s electricity supply. Its purpose is to achieve 33 percent renewable energy mix statewide; providing 33 percent of the state’s electricity needs met by renewable resources by2020 (CARB 2008b). The RPS is included in CARB’s Scoping Plan list of reduction measures (see Table 4). Increasing the RPS to 33 percent is designed to accelerate the Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 26 transformation of the electricity sector, including investment in the transmission infrastructure and systems changes to allow integration of large quantities of intermittent wind and solar generation. Renewable energy includes (but is not limited to) wind, solar, geothermal, small hydroelectric, biomass, anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas. Increased use of renewables would decrease California’s reliance on fossil fuels, thus reducing emissions of GHGs from the electricity sector. CARB estimates that full achievement of the RPS would decrease statewide GHG emissions by 21.3 MMTCO2E (CARB 2008b). 3.2.3.10Million Solar Roofs Program The Million Solar Roofs Program was created by SB 1 in 2006 and includes the CPUC’s California Solar Initiative and California Energy Commission’s (CEC)New Solar Homes Partnership. It requires publicly owned utilities to adopt, implement and finance solar incentive programs to lower the cost of solar systems and help achieve the goal of installing 3,000 MW of new solar capacity by 2020. The Million Solar Roofs Program is one of CARB’s GHG reduction measures identified in the 2008 Scoping Plan (see Table4). Achievement of the program’s goal is expected to equate to a reduction of 2.1 MMTCO2E in 2020 statewide BAU emissions, as counted toward the total statewide reduction of 173 MMTCO2E (CARB 2008b). 3.2.3.11 SB 1368 –Public Utility Emission Standards SB 1368 (Parata), passed in 2006, requires the CEC to set GHG emission standards for entities providing electricity in the state. The bill further requires that the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) prohibit electricity providers and corporations from entering into long-term contracts if those providers and corporations do not meet the CEC’s standards (Union of Concerned Scientists 2007). 3.2.3.12Title 24, Part 6 -California Energy Code The California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6 is the California Energy Code. This code, originally enacted in 1978 in response to legislative mandates, establishes energy efficiency standards for residential and non-residential buildings in order to reduce California’s energy consumption. The Code is updated periodically to incorporate and consider new energy efficiency technologies and methodologies as they become available. The most recent amendments to the Code, known as Title 24 2008, or the 2008 Energy Code, became effective January 1, 2010. Title 24 2008 requires energy savings of 15–35percent above the former Title 24 2005 energy code. At a minimum, residential buildings must achieve a 15percent reduction in their combined space heating, cooling andwater heating energy compared to the Title 24 2005 standards. Incentives in the form of rebates and tax breaks are provided on a sliding scale for buildings achieving energy efficiency above the minimum 15percent reduction over Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 27 Title24 2005. The reference to Title 24 2005 is relevant in that many of the State’s long- term energy and GHG reduction goals identify energy saving targets relative to Title 24 2005. By reducing California’s energy consumption, emissions of statewide GHGs may also be reduced. New construction and major renovations must demonstrate their compliance with the current Energy Code through submission and approval of a Title 24 Compliance Report to the local building permit review authority and the CEC. The compliance reports must demonstrate a building’s energy performance through use of CEC-approved energy performance software that shows iterative increases in energy efficiency given selection of various HVAC, sealing, glazing, insulation, and other components related to the buildingenvelope. Title 24 governs energy consumed by the built environment and by the major building envelope systems such as space heating, space cooling, water heating, some aspects of the fixed lighting system, and ventilation. Non-building energy use or “plug-in” energy use (such as appliances, equipment, electronics, plug-in lighting) is independent of building design and not subject to Title 24. 3.2.3.13Title 24, Part 11 –California Green Building Standards In 2007, Governor Schwarzenegger directed the California Building Standards Commission to work with state agencies on the adoption of green building standards for residential, commercial and public building construction for the 2010 code adoption process. A voluntary version of this California Green Building Standards Code, referred to as CALGreen, was added to Title 24 as Part 11 in 2009. The 2010 version of CALGreen tookeffect January 2011 and institutedmandatory minimum environmental performance standards for all ground-up newconstruction of commercial, low-rise residential, and state-owned buildings; as well as schools and hospitals. It also includes voluntary tiers (I and II) with stricter environmental performance standards. Local jurisdictions must enforce the minimum mandatory requirements and may also adopt the Green Building Standards with amendments for stricter requirements. The mandatory standardsrequire: •20percent mandatory reduction in indoor water userelative to specified baseline levels; •50percent construction/demolition wastemust be diverted from landfills; •Mandatory inspections of energy systems to ensure optimal working efficiency; and •Low-pollutant emitting exterior and interior finish materials such as paints, carpets, vinyl flooring and particle boards. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 28 The voluntary standards require: •Tier I –15 percent improvement in energy requirements, stricter water conservation requirements for specific fixtures, 65 percent reduction in construction waste, 10 percent recycled content, 20 percent permeable paving, 20 percent cement reduction, cool/solar reflective roof. •Tier II –30 percent improvement in energy requirements, stricter water conservation requirements for specific fixtures, 75 percent reduction in construction waste, 15 percent recycled content, 30 percent permeable paving, 30 percent cement reduction, cool/solar reflective roof. Similar to the compliance reporting procedure described above for demonstrating energy code compliance, compliance with the CALGreen water reduction requirements must be demonstrated through completion of water use reporting forms for both commercial and low-riseresidential buildings. The water use compliance form must demonstrate a minimum 20 percent reduction in indoor water use by either showing a 20 percent reduction in the overall baselinewater use as identified in CALGreen or a reduced per- plumbing-fixture water use rate. Related to CALGreen are the earlier Sustainable Building Goal (EO D-16-00) and Green Building Initiative (EO S-20-04). The 2000 Sustainable Building Goal instructed that all state buildings be constructed or renovated and maintained as models of energy, water and materials efficiency.The 2004 Green Building Initiative recognized further that significant reductions in GHG emissions can be achieved through the design and construction of new green buildings as well as the sustainable operation, retrofitting, and renovation of existing buildings. The CARB Scoping Plan includes a Green Building Strategy with the goal of expanding the use of green building practices to reducethe carbon footprint of new and existing buildings. Consistent with CALGreen, the Scoping Plan recognized that GHG reductions would be achieved through buildings that exceed minimum energy efficiency standards, decrease consumption of potable water, reduce solid waste during construction and operation, and incorporate sustainable materials. Green building is thus a vehicle to achieve the Scoping Plan’s statewide electricity and natural gas efficiency targets and to lower GHG emissions from waste and watertransport sectors. In the Scoping Plan, CARB projects that an additional 26 MMTCO2E could be reduced through expanded green building (CARB 2008b, p.17). However, this reduction is not counted toward the BAU 2020 reduction goal to avoid any double counting, as most of these reductions are accounted for in the electricity, waste, and water sectors. Because of this, CARB has assigned all emissions reductions that occur as a result of green building strategies to other sectors for the purpose of meeting AB 32 requirements, but will continue to evaluate and refine the emissions from this sector. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 29 3.2.3.14SB 97 –CEQA GHG Amendments SB 97 (Dutton) passed by the legislature and signed by the governor on August 24, 2007 required the office of Planning and Research (OPR) on or before July 1, 2009, to prepare, develop, and transmit to the Resources Agency amendments to the CEQA guidelines to assist public agencies in the mitigation of GHGs or the effects of GHGs as required under CEQA, including the effects associated with transportation and energy consumption, and required the Resources Agency to certify and adopt those guidelines by January 1, 2010. Proposed amendments to the state CEQA Guidelines for GHG emissions were submitted on April 13, 2009,adopted on December 30, 2009, and became effect March 18, 2010. Section 15064.4 of the amended Guidelines includes the following requirements for determining the significance of impacts from greenhouse gas emissions. While the amendments require calculation of a project’s contribution they clearly do not establish a standard by which to judge a significant effect or a means to establish such a standard. (a) The determination of the significance of greenhouse gas emissions calls for a careful judgment by the lead agency consistent with the provisions in section 15064. A lead agency should make a good-faith effort, based to the extent possible on scientific and factual data, to describe, calculate or estimate the amount of GHG emissions resulting from a project. A lead agency shall have discretion to determine, in the context of a particular project, whether to: (1) Use a model or methodology to quantify greenhouse gas emissions resulting from a project, and which model or methodology to use. The lead agency has discretionto select the model or methodology it considers most appropriate provided it supports its decision with substantial evidence. The lead agency should explain the limitations of the particular model or methodology selected for use; and/or (2) Rely on a qualitative analysis or performance based standards. 3.2.4Local Since the early 1990s, Chula Vista has been engaged in multiple climate change forums including the UNFCCC, the International Cities for Climate Protection campaign and the U.S. Conference ofMayor’s Climate Protection Agreement. The key plans and ordinances that the City has adopted and implemented to achieve citywide GHG emissions reductions are summarized below. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 30 3.2.4.1ICLEI Cities for Climate Protection In 1992, the City participated ina program aimed at developing municipal action plans for the reduction of GHGs. This program—the Cities for Climate Protection Program— was sponsored by the International Council of Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) and the UNEP. This program was developed by ICLEI and the UNEP in response to the UNFCCC, and in recognition that all local planning and development have direct consequences on energy consumption and cities exercise key powers over urban infrastructure, including neighborhood design and over transportation infrastructure such as roads, streets, pedestrian areas, bicycle lanes and public transport. 3.2.4.2Chula Vista CO2 Reduction Plan Each participant in the ICLEI program was to create local policy measures to ensure multiple benefits to the city and at the same time identify a carbon reduction goal through the implementation of those measures. The carbon reduction goal was to fit within the realm of international climate treaty reduction goals. In its CO2 Reduction Plan developed in 1996 andofficially adopted in 2000, Chula Vista committed to lowering its CO2 emissions by diversifying its transportation system and using energy more efficiently in all sectors. To focus efforts in this direction, the City adopted the international CO2 reduction goal of returning to pre-1990 levels (i.e. 20percent below) by 2010. In order to achieve this goal, eight actions were identified, which when fully implemented, were anticipated to save 100,000 tons of CO2 each year. As a result of the 2005 GHG Emissions Inventory Report, in May 2007 staff reported to City Council that citywide greenhouse gas emissions had increased by 35percent (mainly due to residential growth) from 1990 to 2005, while emissions on a per capita basis and from municipal operations decreased by 17percent and 18percent, respectively. As a result, the City Council directed staff to convene a Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) to develop recommendations to reduce the community’s GHGs in order to meet the City’s 2010 GHG emissions reduction targets. 3.2.4.3Climate Change Working Group The CCWG, which is composed of residents, businesses, and community organization representatives, helps the City in developing climate-related programs and policies. In 2008, the CCWG reviewed over 90 carbon reduction measures and ultimately chose seven measures to recommend to City Council, which the Council subsequently adopted. The measures were designed to reduce or mitigate climate change impacts by reducing GHG emissions within Chula Vista to 20percent below 1990 levels in keeping with its CO2 Reduction Plan and UNFCCC goals, but the horizon date was delayed to 2012 instead of 2010. The measures are described below in the following section. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 31 In October 2009, the City Council directed the CCWG to evaluate how the City could "adapt" to potential climate change impacts.The group will be meeting throughout 2010 to develop recommendations based on the City’s vulnerabilities and risks to climate change. 3.2.4.4Chula Vista Climate Protection Measures On July 10, 2008, the City Council adopted implementation plans for seven climate protection measures to reduce GHG emissions to 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. Since the adoption of these measures, the CARB published its BAU 2020 forecast and ScopingPlan described in Section 3.2.3.3, which established statewide reduction measures necessary to achieve the AB 32 goal of reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. This goal is reflected in the City’s adopted GHG significance thresholds for project-specific analysis under CEQA (see Section 4.1) Nonetheless, the implementation plans outline the detailed strategy for initiating, funding, and tracking the following measures (City of Chula Vista 2008b): 1.Clean Vehicle Replacement Policy for City Fleet: When City fleet vehicles are retired, they will be replaced through the purchase or lease of alternative fuel or hybrid substitutes. In addition, the City fleet will begin to pursue installing new fuel tanks to allow heavy-duty vehicles to convert to biodiesel fuel immediately. 2.Clean Vehicle Replacement Policy for City-Contracted Fleets: As contracts for City-contracted fleet services (such as transit buses, trash haulers and street sweeper trucks) are renewed, the City will encourage contractors to replacetheir vehicles with alternative fuel or hybrid substitutes through the contract bid process. In addition, the City will pursue implementing two hydrogen vehicle demonstration projects. 3.Business Energy Assessments: Although not mandatory, businesses will be encouraged to participate in a no cost energy assessment of their facilities to help identify opportunities for them to reduce monthly energy costs. The business assessment will be integrated into the existing business licensing process and codified through a new municipal ordinance. 4.Green Building Standard: Chula Vista will implement a citywide, mandatory green building standard for new construction and major renovations. The new standard will have 3 main components: (1) a minimum energy efficiency (carbon equivalent) requirement of 15 percent above the 2005 Title 24, (2) the early adoption of the new California Green Building Codes for all residential and commercial projects, and (3) a Carbon Offset Fee available for projects not meeting the 15 percentabove Title 24 threshold. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 32 5.Solar and Energy Efficiency Conversion Program: The City will create a community program to provide residents and businesses a streamlined, cost- effective opportunity to implement energy efficiency improvements and to install solar/renewable energy systems on their properties. The City will develop a funding mechanism to allow program participants to voluntarily choose to place the improvement costs on their property’s tax rolls, thereby avoiding large upfront capital costs. In addition, the program will promote vocational training, local manufacturing, and retail sales opportunities for environmental products and services. To help stimulate the private-sector renewable market and lower the cost for installing renewable energy systems on new homes, the City will require all new residential buildings to include pre-wiring and pre-plumbing for solar photovoltaic and solar hot water systems, respectively. 6.Smart-Growth Around Trolley Stations: The City will continue to implement the “Smart-Growth” design principles, which promote mixed-use and walkable and transit-friendly development, particularly in and around the E, H, and Palomar trolley stations. These principles were emphasized in the revised Chula Vista General Plan and the Urban Core Specific Plan. In particular, the City will initiate site planning, design studies and Specific Area Plan development to further support “Smart-Growth” development that complements greenhouse gas reductions. 7.Turf Lawn Conversion Program: The City will create a community program to provide residents and businesses a streamlined, cost-effective opportunity to replace their turf lawns with water-saving landscaping and irrigation systems. Some municipal turf lawn areas (such as medians, fire stations and non- recreational park areas) will also be converted to act as public demonstration sites and to reduce monthly water costs. The City will establish the model for water-wise landscaping for new development through an update of its Municipal Landscape Ordinance and Water Conservation Plan Guidelines. An Implementation Progress Report, published in February 2010, reports the implementation status and milestones for each measure. Most measures are meeting milestones outlined in their original implementation plans (City of Chula Vista 2010). 3.2.4.5Chula Vista Green Building Standards Consistent with measure 4above(Section 3.2.4.4), the City Counciladopted the Green Building Standards ordinance (GBS ordinance) (Ordinance No. 3140) on October 6, 2009, whichbecame effective November 5, 2009. This represents early adoption of the California Green Building Standards discussed in Section 3.2.3.13, with amendments to include major remodels (not just ground-up new construction) and all residential (not just low-rise single-family residential). Permit applications for all new/remodel residential and Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 33 non-residential projects submitted on or after November 5, 2009 are required to comply with the GBS ordinance. Through adherence to the GBS ordinance, new residentialand non-residential construction, additions, remodels and improvements will benefit from enhanced energy efficiency, pollutant controls, interior moisture control, improved indoor air quality and exhaust, indoor water conservation, storm water management,and construction waste reduction and recycling. The complete Green Building Standards and Ordinance are included in Attachment 2. As required by the GBS ordinance, as part of the application for a building permit, construction plans and specifications shall indicate in the general notes or individual detail drawings the Green Building Standards and product specifications and methods of construction that are required. The Building Official may require the applicant to retain the services of a consultant having expertise in Green Building and or energy efficiency techniques to review and evaluate complex systems and/or alternate methods or materials of construction and provide recommendations as to compliance with the requirements of the ordinance. No building permit shall be issued for any project subject to the Standards until the Building Official has determined that the plans and specifications submitted for the building permit are in compliance with the requirements. Compliance verification shall be performed by the Building Official, who shall verify that the green building measures and specifications indicated on the permitted plans and construction documents are being implemented at foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and any other required inspections, and prior to issuance of a final certificate of occupancy. Additional inspections may be conducted as needed to ensure compliance, and during the course of construction and following completion of the project, the City may require the applicant to provide information and documents showing use of products, equipment and materials specified on the permitted plans and documents. If at any stage of construction the Building Official determines that the project is not being constructedin accordance with the permitted plans and documents, a Stop Order may be issued pursuant to CVMC Section 15 06 060 D. At the discretion of the Building Official, the stop work order may apply to the portion of the project impacted by noncompliance or tothe entire project. The stop work order shall remain in effect until the Building Official determines that the project will be brought into compliance with the permitted plans and documents. Prior to final building approval or issuance of a certificate of occupancy the Building Official shall review the information submitted by the applicant and determine whether the applicant has constructed the project in accordance with the permitted plans and documents. If the Building Official determines that the applicant has failed to construct the project in accordance with the permitted plans and documents, then the final building approval and final certificate of occupancy may be withheld until the Building Official determines that the project is in compliance with the GBS ordinance. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 34 3.2.4.6Chula Vista Increased Energy Efficiency Standards On January 26, 2010, the City Council adopted the Increased Energy Efficiency Standards ordinance (Ordinance No. 3149). This ordinance became effective February 26, 2010 as section 15.26 of the Municipal Code, and permit applications submitted on or after this date are required to comply with these new energy efficiency standards. The ordinance is included in Attachment 2. Section 15.26.030 of the Municipal Code requires permit applications to comply with increased energy efficiency standards that achieve 15 to 20 percent greater efficiency than the requirements of the 2008 California Energy Code, Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6), depending on climate zone. As shown in Figure 4, the City falls within two climate zones, zone 7 and zone 10. For climate zone 7, the Code requires: •All new low-rise residential building or additions, remodels or alterations to existing low-rise residential buildings where theadditions, remodels or alterations are greater than 1,000 square feet of conditional floor area, shall use at least 15percent less energy than the 2008 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards allow; and •All new non-residential, high-rise residential or hotel/motel buildings, or additions, remodels or alterations to existing non-residential, high-rise residential or hotel/motel buildings where the additions, remodels or alterations are greater than 10,000 square feet of conditioned floor area, shall use at least 15percent less energy than the 2008 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. Most of the City lies within climate zone 7 (including the Proposed Project), as shown in Figure 4. For areas further east in climate zone 10, the Municipal Code requires projects to use 20percent less energy than the 2008 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards allow. This is to address the higher energy demands typically associated with warmer, inland locations that use more cooling and air conditioning systems. No City building permit shall be issued unless the permit application demonstrates to the Building Official compliance with the requirements of Section 15.26.030. Compliance is to be demonstrated based on a performance approach, using a CEC-approved energy compliance software program, as specified in the Title 24 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. 3.2.4.7Regional Climate Action Plan The SANDAG Regional Climate Action Plan (RCAP) is a long-range policy (year 2030) that focuses on transportation, electricity and natural gas sectors. It complements the Regional Energy Strategy 2030 Update and feeds into the SANDAG Regional CO U N T Y O F SA N D I E G O COUNTYOF SANDIEGO CIT Y o f SA N D I E G O NA T I O N A L C I T Y IM P E R I A L BE A C H CO U N T Y O F SA N D I E G O CI T Y o f SA N D I E G O Ota y R a n c h RollingHillsRanch Su n b o w I I Ea s t L a k e I Ea s t l a k e G r e e n s Ra n c h o \ D e l R e y I GolfCourse Ota y \ L a n d f i l l Sa n M i g u e l R a n c h Te r r a \ N o v a Bo n i t a \ L o n g \ C a n y o n Ota y R a n c h V i l l a g e 1 Ot a y R a n c h V i l l a g e 5 Ra n c h o D e l R e y I I I Eastlake\Woods Ra n c h o \ D e l R e y I I Bella\Lago Su n b o w I Otay\Ranch Eastlake\VistasEastlake\Trails Mid - \ B a y f r o n t Ea s t l a k e \ B u s i n e s s \ P a r k Am p h i t h e a t e r \ a n d \ W a t e r P a r k Olympic\Training\CenterEastlake\Land\Swap Eastlake Vil l a g e \ C e n t e r Te l e g r a p h \ C a n y o n \ E s t a t e s Eastlake\Business\Center\II Eastlake\Woods\West Au t o \ P a r k J H I L E F G MA I N K PA L O M A R BAY THIRD O L Y M P I C D OT A Y L A KES I-5 FREEWAY N A P L E S I-805 F R E E W A Y BROAD W A Y B O N I T A S R -54 FR E E W A Y ORANGE SECON D O X F O R D HUNTE FIRST MOSS C H I LL T O P M E LRO SE F I F TH TELEGRAPHCANYO N NACIO N LAMED IA LANE W U ESTE IN D US TR I AL C O R R A L C A NYO N BEYER BRANDYWINE FOURT H BUEN A V I S TA C E N T R A L RANCHODEL REY P L A Z A B O NIT A MOUNTMIG U EL 3 0 T H K S R - 5 4 F R E E W A Y T H I R D I-805FREEWAY C FIF TH I -5 F RE E WAY H IL LT O P 5 Vil l a g e 1 Villa g e 5 EU C Vil l a g e 2 Village11 Vil l a g e 8 Vil l a g e 6 Vil l a g e 7 Vil l a g e 1 W e s t University\WestUniversity\West Vil l a g e 7 Vil l a g e 4 Vil l a g e 2 Vil l a g e 3 Fw y C o m m e r c i a l Vil l a g e 4 Vil l a g e 2 Vil l a g e 4 Vil l a g e 4 Pla n n i n g A r e a 1 8 B Vil l a g e 4 Ba y f r o n t (Fu t u r e De v e l o p m e n t ) Fu t u r e I n d u s t r i a l Cl i m a t e Z o n e 7 Cl im a t e Z o n e 1 0 FIGURE 4 City Climate Zones Ma p S o u r c e : C i t y o f C h u l a V i s t a G e o g r a p h i c I n f o r m a t i o n S y s t e m , F e b ru a r y 2 0 0 6 M: \ J O B S 3 \ 4 8 2 9 \ G C C \ g r a p h i c s \ f i g 4 . a i 1 0 / 1 8 / 1 0 Cl i m a t e Z o n e B o u n d a r y 80 5 04800Feet Pr o j e c t L o c a t i o n 12 5 Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 36 Transportation Plan (RTP) and Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP). It is currently in process of being prepared and no regional GHG emissions caps or reduction targets have been identified. 4.0Significance Criteria and Analysis Methodologies 4.1Determining Significance To date, there have been no regional, state, or federal regulations establishing a threshold of significance to determine project-specific impacts of GHG emissions. As allowed by the CEQA Guidelines, after considering the thresholds of significance adopted or recommended by other public agencies and experts, including those adopted by the Bay Area and San Joaquin Air Quality Management Districts and the various options reviewed by the CARB, the City has developed its own significance thresholds. The City’s thresholds are grounded in statute (AB 32) and executive order (EO S-3-05) and offer away to achieve the 2020 goal of AB 32. The 2020 goal of AB 32 is to return statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The City’s threshold was established based on this goal of AB 32 and the reduction measures needed to achieve it as identified inthe CARB Scoping Plan and as shaped by the assumptions of the business- as-usual (BAU) 2020 statewide forecast. 4.1.1Business-as-Usual 2020 Emissions As described above in Section 3.2.3.2, AB 32 directed the CARB to develop a Scoping Plan that identifiedthe reduction measures needed to achieve the targets established in AB 32/EO S-3-05. In order to assess the scope of the needed reductions, CARB first estimated BAU 2020 GHG emissions, as shown below in Table 5. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 37 TABLE 5 CALIFORNIA BAU 2020 GHG EMISSIONSFORECAST Sector Projected 2020 Emissions in MMTCO2E (% total) Transportation 225.4 (38%) Electric Power 139.2 (23%) Commercial and Residential 46.7 (8%) Industry 100.5 (17%) Recycling and Waste 7.7 (1%) High GWP 46.9 (8%) Agriculture 29.8 (5%) Forest Net Emissions 0.0 TOTAL 596.4 SOURCE: California 2020 GHG Emissions Forecast. Prepared by the CARB. Last updated October 2008; last reviewed May 28, 2010. Available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/inventory/data/forecast.htm. Accessed May 28, 2010. Table 5 represents the statewide GHG emissions that would be expected to occur in the absence ofthe GHG reduction measures identified in the Scoping Plan. This forecast also assumed energy efficiency in commercial and residentialbuildings in accordance with the 2005 Title 24 energy code, water conservation in accordance with the 2006 plumbing code, and waste diversion in accordance with the 1989 Integrated Waste Management Act. In its transportation-related emissions forecast, CARB assumed that total statewide VMT would increase based on growth in statewide population and fixed average trip lengths and vehicle fleet mix. Based on these assumptions, CARB estimated that statewide BAU 2020 GHG emissions will be 596.4MMTCO2E. 4.1.2Scoping Plan Reduction Measures As discussed in Section 3.2.3.3, the Scoping Plan identifies 16 measures that would provide reductions allowing the state to achieve a total GHG emissions reduction of 174MMTCO2E by 2020 (see Table 4). Of these measures, three are measures that are, to some extent, within the control of the City. The Scoping Plan reduction measures the City has control over are listed in Table 6 below and include the Energy Efficiency, Regional Transportation-Related GHG Targets, and the Million Solar Roofs measures. Full statewide implementation of these three measures is projected to result in a 33.4MMTCO2Ereduction in GHG emissions by 2020, for a 19.2 percent reduction in forecasted BAU 2020 emissions. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 38 TABLE 6 CARB SCOPING PLAN RECOMMENDED GHG REDUCTION MEASURES WITHIN CITY’S CONTROL Recommended Reduction Measures Reductions Counted Towards 2020 Target in MMTCO2E Percentage of Total Reductions Counted Towards 2020 Target REDUCTIONS COUNTED TOWARDS 2020 TARGET WITHIN CITY CONTROL 33.4 19.2%1 Energy Efficiency 26.3 Regional Transportation-Related GHG Targets 5.0 Million Solar Roofs 2.1 REDUCTIONS COUNTED TOWARDS 2020 TARGET NOT WITHIN CITY CONTROL (see Table 4) 140.6 80.8% TOTAL REDUCTIONS COUNTED TOWARDS 2020TARGET 174 100% Based on Table 2 of theClimate Change Scoping Plan: A Framework for Change. Prepared by the California Air Resources Board, pursuant to AB 32 the California Global Warming Solution Act of 2006. December 2008.119.2% is relative to the targeted total reduction of 174 MMTCO2E.The BAU 2020 forecast initially projected a targeted reduction of 169 MMTCO2E. The proportion of these three Scoping Plan measures would be 19.8percent relative to that number. To conform to the Scoping Plan, a proposed project would have to provide thesame proportional reduction relative to BAU that the Scoping Plan identifies for these three measures. Rounding this number up to the nearest whole number results in a 20percent proportion. As allowed in the Scoping Plan, project reductions could come from any one or combination of the three identified measures or complementary measures. For example, energy-related reductions could come from improved building energy efficiency, advanced water conservation measures, or solid waste reduction measures. Transportation-related reductions could come from project features that encourage alternate travel choices, such as through public transportation proximity, subsidized transit passes, preferential parking for carpool vehicles and low-carbon vehicles, bicycle facilities, walking paths; or shorter vehicle trip lengths, such as through the integration of housing proximate to employment, recreation, and community services. In this latter regard, vehicle trip lengths associated with a given project would have toalter the average regional trip length in order to be sufficient enough to change the statewide VMT assumptions in the BAU emissions forecast and associated Scoping Plan vehicle emissions reduction estimates. 4.1.3Significance Thresholds Based on theScoping Plan and its associated BAU 2020 emissions forecast assumptions, the City has established the following City GHG thresholds of significance for land development projects. The City has determined that a project would have significant global climate change effects if it would: Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 39 •Conflict with or obstruct the achievement of the Scoping Plan reduction measures by not reducing its GHG emissions by at least 20percent over that which would have been expected to occur in the BAU condition; or •Conflict withany other applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. These thresholds are grounded in statute (AB 32) and executive order (S-3-05), and supported by substantial evidence in the CARB’s BAU 2020 Forecastand Climate Change Scoping Plan. In addition, these thresholds areconsistent with the amended CEQA Guidelines which state that cumulative impacts may be measured relative to a cumulative baseline that includes a …summary of projections contained in an adopted local, regional, or statewide plan, or related planning document, that describes or evaluates conditions contributing to the cumulative effect. Such plans may include: a general plan, regional transportation plan, or plans for the reduction of GHG emissions. 4.2Methodology and Assumptions Emission estimates were calculated for the three GHGs of primary concern (CO2, CH4, and N2O) that would be emitted from the Proposed Project’s construction and five sources of operational emissions: on-road vehicular traffic, electricity generation, natural gas consumption, water usage, and solid waste disposal. The method of quantifying GHG emissions in this analysis was based on methodologies recommended and used by several California air quality management districts (AQMD), including the South Coast and Bay Area AQMDs; as well as by the CARB. To evaluate the Proposed Project relative to the BAU 2020 Forecast, emissions of each source of GHGs were estimated first for a project-equivalent under BAU conditions, assuming building energy efficiency in accordance with the 2005 Title 24 energy code, water conservation in accordance with the current plumbing code, and solid waste disposal quantities in accordance with current statewide legislation. A 20 percent reduction of this amount was then calculated in order to identify the targeted cap in GHG emissions attributable to the Proposed Project. Lastly, emissions of each source of GHGs were estimated for the Proposed Project assuming building energy and water efficiencies required in City ordinances and General Plan policy. This methodology allows for a comparison between the Proposed Project and BAU 2020 relative to the identified significance determination thresholds. These scenario analyses are included in Sections 5.1.1.1 and 5.1.1.2. Emissions calculations for all of these scenarios started with the following identical land use assumptions: Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 40 TABLE 7 FUTURE (YEAR 2020) MODELED LAND USES Land Use Quantity Residential 6,050 dwelling units Commercial 1,800,000 square feet Industrial 2,200,000 square feet Park 55.4 acres School 51.4 acres Community Purpose Facility 10.8acres The land use assumptions in Table 7 reflect the total allowable buildout as envisioned in the Proposed Projectfor Village 8 West,Village 9and the 85-acre RTP. By multiplying the GHG emissions calculated for the Proposed Project by a factor of 1.5, an expanded cumulative projects area can be accounted for that includes the Village 8 East and the Planning Area 10/University Siteprojects. This analysis is provided in Section 5.1.1.3. Complete emissions calculations are contained in Attachment3. 4.2.1Estimating Vehicle Emissions Vehicle emissions were estimated using emission factors developed by the Bay Area AQMD and EPA in a fuel-based methodology using the following equation: E = EF X Fuel X C X GWP Where E is emission in metric tons per year; EF is an emission factor normalized for engine fuel consumption and expressed in units of pounds of GHG per gallon of transportation fuel; Fuel is the total quantity of fuel consumed per year; C is a constant reflecting the conversion of pounds to metric tons; and GWP is the global warming potential of each GHG. This fuel-based method is based on the equation used in CARB’s OFFROAD2007 and EMFAC2007 models to estimate off-and on-road vehicle emissions: E = EF X Pop X AvgHp X Load X Activity where E is emission in tons per day; EF is an emission factor expressed in units of work done by the engine (e.g., g/bhp-hr); Pop is the engine population (number of engines in use); AvgHp is the average rated power of these engines; Load is the load on the engines relative to their average rated power; and Activity is the average annual hours of use per engine. However the fuel-based method simplifies the equation by using emission factors normalized for fuel consumption and allows the use of readily available and accurate regional fuel sales data. This method of calculating vehicle emissions also has the advantage of being able to estimate emissions for all three primary GHGs, while some computer models such as URBEMIS2007 can only directly estimate CO2 Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 41 emissions. The fuel-based calculation is thus commonly used to estimate regional emissions from the transportation sector (UCTC 1996, 2000), and is similar to the method CARB used in their BAU 2020 emissions forecast, which used statewide fuel sales data and statewide average VMT. In this analysis, annual fuel consumption is obtained by multiplying the Proposed Project ADT obtained from the traffic study (LLG 2011) by the local (for the Proposed Project) andregional average(for BAU)trip lengthsdetermined by SANDAG (2009, 20010b). The total VMT derived from this calculation is then multiplied by average vehicle mileage as identified by Caltrans to obtaintotal fuel consumption. This value is then multiplied by the emission factors in Table 8 to estimate GHG emissions. 4.2.2Estimating Construction Emissions Construction activities emit GHGs primarily though combustion of fossil fuels in the engines of off-road construction equipment (mostly diesel) and in the on-road vehicles of the construction workers. Smaller amounts of GHGs are also emitted through the energy use embodied in any water use (for fugitive dust control) and lighting for the construction activity. Construction emissions are not accounted for in the BAU 2020 forecast, and reductions in construction emissions are not specifically identified in the CARB Scoping Plan. However, the Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) has recently recommended that total construction emissions be amortized over 30 years and added to operational emissions (AEP 2010). Typically, project-level information is used to calculate construction emissions. In this analysis, given lack of project-specificinformation, construction emissions were estimated by multiplying the proposed land uses (Table 7, above) by annual construction emission rates of 0.077 MTCO2E per residential dwelling unit and 0.006 MTCO2E per square foot of non-residential use. Thesevalues were obtained through review of other project-level analyses (City of San Diego 2010a, 2010b). 4.2.3Estimating Building Use Emissions For estimates of non-transportation related operational emissions, total projected energy, water, and waste demandswere multiplied by emission factors for each emission source and each GHG. 4.2.3.1Electricity and Natural Gas Estimates GHG emissions associated with electricity use were calculated by multiplying the total number of dwelling units,commercial and industrial square footage, and park, school, andcommunity purpose facilityacreagesby the average electricity consumptionrates used in CARB’s 2011 California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) obtained from Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 42 the CEC end-use surveys for residential and non-residential uses(CEC;2004 and 2006). These values were then multipliedby the electricity generation GHG emission factors contained in Table 8. For the BAU calculations, 2006 statewide average electricity consumption rates of 590.88kilowatt hours (kWh) per single-family residential unit per month,360.39kWh per multi-family residential unit per month,14.10 kWh per commercial square foot per year, 17.60kWH per industrial square footper year, 6.35 kWh per school square foot per year, and 9.38 kWh per square foot per year of park and community purpose useswere used, consistent with the BAU 2020 forecast assumption of building energy efficiency in accordance with the Title 24, Year 2005 energy code. For the Proposed Project calculations, a 30percent improvement in residentialand non- residentialbuilding energy efficiency was assumed based on the requirements of the Increased Energy Efficiency ordinance of the City’s Municipal Code. This ordinance is described in Section 3.2.4.6 and would achieve a 15 percent reduction in building energy use compared to the existing 2008 Title 24 energy code and thus a 30percent reduction in building energy use compared to BAU assumptions. GHG emissions associated with natural gas were also calculated using rates obtained from CalEEMod/the CECandthe natural gasgeneration GHG emission factorsshown in Table 8.Statewide monthly average natural gas consumption rates of 5,198.70 cubic feet per single-family residential unit, 3,128.97 cubic feet per multi-family residential unit, 2.90 cubic feet of natural gas per square foot of commercial space, 1.29 cubic feet per square foot of school space, 2.77 cubic feet per square foot of community purpose facility, 0.25 cubic feet per square foot of active park use,and 241,611 cubic feet per industrial consumer (assuming aminimum 2-acre lot size)were used to calculate BAU emissions. For the Proposed Project calculations, a 30percent improvement in building energy efficiency was assumed based on the requirements of the Municipal Code as described above. These values were then multiplied by the emission factors in Table 8 for natural gas consumption to obtain estimated quantities of GHG emissions. 4.2.3.2Water Use Emissions Estimates The GHG emissions associated with water use are calculated by multiplying the embodied energy in a gallon of potable water by the total number of gallons projected to be consumed by the project and then by the electricity generation GHG emission factors. For these estimates, it is assumed that water delivered to the Project site would have an embodied energy of 2,779 kWh/acre foot or 0.0085 kWh/gallon (Torcellini2003). To calculate the projected water demand of the Project and BAU, water demand ratesby land use typewere obtained from the October 2008 Otay Water District Water Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 43 Resources Master Plan Update (WRMP) and multiplied by the proposed quantities of residential units and non-residentialsquare footageprojected for buildout of the Proposed Project. BAU water use assumptions based on the 2008 WRMPwould be as follows:single- family residential unitswould consume 500gallons per day (gpd) per unit;multi-family residential would consume 2551gpdper unit;schools would consume 1,785gpd per acre,parks would consume approximately 2,155gpd per acre,community purpose facilities would consume approximately 893 gpd per acre, commercial useswould consume 0.14 gpdper square foot;and industrial uses would consume 0.07 gpd per square foot. Applying conservation measures required in the City’s GBS Ordinance, described in Section 3.2.4.5,the Proposed Project’s water use would achieve a 20percent reduction in water consumption (and associated embodied energy) compared to BAU assumptions. Therefore, accounting forthe advanced conservation measures of the Proposed Project, BAU/WRMP water consumption rates were adjusted as follows: single-family residential units would consume 400 gpdper unit; multi-family residential units would consume 204 gpd per unit; schools would consume 1,428gpd per acre; parkswould consume approximately 1,724gpd per acre, community purpose facilities would consume 714.4 gpd per acre, commercial uses would consume 0.11 gpd per square foot; and industrial uses would consume 0.06 gpd per square foot. 4.2.3.3Solid Waste Emissions Estimates For both the BAU calculations and the Proposed Project calculations, a countywide average waste disposal rate was used and was obtained from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)as included in CalEEMod. While the Proposed Project would implement lumber and other materials conservation in accordance with the City’s Green Building Standards (see Section 3.2.4.5) and likely generate less landfill waste than average, these savings cannot be estimated at this time. CalRecycle maintains a list of different waste generation rates for residential, commercial, and other uses. The multi-family residential waste generation rates range from 3.6 to 8.6 pounds per unit per day,the single-family residential waste generation rates ranged up to 11.4 pounds per unit per day,and the commercial generation rates range from 0.0025 to 0.046 pounds per square foot per day (CalRecycle 2009). To be conservative, the higher generation rates of 11.4 pounds daily per single-family dwelling unit, 8.6 pounds per unit per day for multi-family residential,2.60 pounds per square foot 1Recommended rate of 300 gpd/unit reduced by 0.85 to account for reclaimed water use. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 44 per day for schools, 11.4 pounds per square foot per day for community purpose facilities, 4.76 tonsper acre per year for park uses, and 0.046 pounds per square foot per day for commercial and industrial uses were used to determine the total volume of waste by weight. These values were then multiplied by emissions factors used in the EPAWaste Reduction Model (WARM) for the different material classes (glass, metal, plastic, etc.) and two different waste streams (to landfill or to recycling). For the landfill estimates, landfill gas recovery for energy was assumed, and for both the landfill and recycling estimates, a truck haul distance of 20 miles and frequency of once per week. Local recycling and disposal (to landfill) percentages (of total waste generated) were also obtained from CalRecycle and reflect current waste disposal practice in accordance with the statutory 50percent diversion mandate. 4.2.4General Assumptions The emission factors used to calculate vehicle, electricity and natural gas GHG emissions are shown below. TABLE 8 GHG EMISSION FACTORS Gas Vehicle Emission Factors (pounds/gallon gas)1 Electricity Generation Emission Factors (pounds/MWh)2, 3 Natural Gas Combustion Emission Factors (pound/million ft3)4 Carbon Dioxide 19.564 1,340 120,000 Methane 0.00055 0.0111 2.3 Nitrous Oxide 0.0002 0.0192 2.2 1SOURCE: BAAQMD 2006.2SOURCE: U.S. DOE 2002.3Emissions associated with water use are calculated from the embodied energy in a gallon of water multiplied by the same emissions factors for electricity generation. Waste emissions were similarly calculated using the U.S. EPA WasteReduction model (WARM) emission factors specific to eachwaste type (e.g., glass, metal, plastic). 4SOURCE: U.S. EPA 1998. Emissions estimated for each of the five emission sources are summed and expressed in terms of total metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent or MTCO2E.CO2-equivalent emissions are the preferred way to assess combined GHG emissions because they give weight to the GWP of a gas. The GWP, as described above in Section 1.1, is the potential of a gas to warm the global climate in the same amount as an equivalent amount of emissions of CO2. CO2 thus has a GWP factor of 1. Methane (CH4) has a GWP factor of 21 and nitrous oxide (N20) has a GWP of 310, which means they have a greater global warming effect than CO2. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 45 5.0Impact Analysis 5.1Project Emissions Relative to BAU 5.1.1Impacts To evaluate the significance of the Proposed Project’s contribution of GHG emissions relative to statewide emissions and BAU reductions, GHG emissions from transportation, electricity, natural gas and water consumption, solid waste disposal, and construction activities, were estimated first for BAU, then for the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project calculations account for GHG emissions reductions from project-specific design features as well as applicable statewide emissions reduction programs. 5.1.1.1BAU Emissions a.Transportation-Related Emissions Transportation-related GHG emissions comprise the largest contributor to existing and forecast GHG emissions, accounting for 38percent of the total statewide forecasted BAU 2020 emissions (CARB 2008c). On-road vehicles alone account for 35percent of the total forecasted BAU 2020 emissions. Transportation-related GHG emissions are generated from the combustion of fossil fuels (primarily gasoline and diesel) in vehicle engines. The quantity and type of transportation fuel consumed determines the amount of GHGs emitted from a vehicle. Therefore, not only are vehicle engine and fuel technologies of importance, but so too are the amount of vehicle trips and trip distances that motorists travel. The traffic study projects that the proposed buildout of Villages 8 West,9and the 85- acre RTP would generate 113,073ADT (LLG 2011). Based on the regional average trip length of 5.8miles (SANDAG 2009) and an average fuel economy of 18.80mpg for 2020 (Caltrans2009), a total of 655,823vehicle miles would be traveled each day and 34,884gallons of vehicle fuel would be consumed each day under BAU conditions. Using the vehicle emissions factors contained in Table 8, the combustion of this fuel would result in the emission of113,416.15MTCO2E each year assuming BAU. b.Electricity Emissions Electric power generation accounted for the second largest sector contributing to existing and projected statewide GHG emissions, comprising 24percent of the total statewide BAU 2020 emissions (CARB 2008c). Buildings use electricity for lighting, heating and cooling. Electricity generation entails the combustion of fossil fuels, including natural gas and coal, which are then stored and transported to end users. A Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 46 building’s electricity use is thus associated with the off-site or indirect emission of GHGs at the source of electricity generation (i.e. the power plant). Based on 887 single-family residences, 5,163 multi-family residences,51.4 acres of schools, 10.8 acres of community purpose use, 1.8 million square feet of commercial, 2.2 million square feet of industrial space, and 55.4 acres of park space, buildout under BAU assumptions would annually consume 134,364MWh of electricity. The residential uses would consume approximately 28,618MWh,the school uses would consume approximately 14,218 MWh, the community purpose space would consume 4,413 MWh, the commercial uses would consume a maximum of 25,380 MWh, and the industrial uses would consume a maximum of 27,320 MWheach year. The park acreage could consume up to 15,845 MWh annually if developed into active recreational facilities such as a health or racquet club. Passive park space would consume less electricity. These estimates are based on average electricity consumption rates for southern Californiaas identified by the CEC in the URBEMIS 2007 and 2011 CalEEModair emissions models (CEC; 2004 and 2006). This quantity of electricity consumption equates to the emission of 17,474.49MTCO2E each year from residential uses,15,497.51 MTCO2E each year from commercial uses, 8,681.51 MTCO2E each year from schools, 2,694.54 MTCO2E each year from community purpose uses, 13,822 MTCO2E each year from active park uses, and23,874.88MTCO2E each year from industrial uses; totaling 82,044.93 MTCO2E each year. c.Natural Gas Emissions Buildings combust natural gas primarily for heating and cooking purposes, resulting in the emission of GHGs. GHG emissions associated with natural gas combustion are estimated by multiplying the total number of dwelling units by average residential natural gas consumption rates and then by their respective GHG emissions factors. Based on 887single-family residences, 5,163multi-family residences, 1.8million square feet of commercial space,51.4 acres of schools, 10.8 acres of community purpose use, 55.4 acres of park space, and 2.2 million square feet of industrial space, buildout under BAU assumptions would annually consume 492.62million cubic feet of natural gas. The residential uses would consume approximately249.19million cubic feet,the commercial uses would consume approximately 62.64 million cubicfeet,the schools would consume approximately 34.70million cubic feet, community purpose uses would consume approximately 15.62million cubic feet, park uses would consume up to approximately 7.24 million cubic feet, and the industrial uses would consume approximately 123.22 million cubicfeet each year. This equates to the emission of 13,646.41MTCO2E GHG emissions each year from residential uses,3,430.31 MTCO2E each year from commercial uses, 1,900.49MTCO2E each year from schools, 855.33MTCO2E each year from community purpose facilities, 396.46MTCO2E each year from park uses, and 6,747.90 MTCO2E each year from industrial uses; totaling 29,976.90MTCO2E GHG emissions each year. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 47 d.Water Use Emissions The provision of potable water consumes large amounts of energy associated with source and conveyance, treatment, distribution, end use, and wastewater treatment. This type of energy use is known as embodied energy. Water delivered to the site would have an embodied energy of 2,779 kWh/acre foot or 0.0085 kWh/gallon. Multiplying the proposed 887single-family residential units, 5,163multi-family residential units, 51.4 acres of school use, 55.4acres of parks,10.8 acres of community purpose, 1.8 million square feet of commercial space, and 2.2 million square feet of industrial space, by the WRMP daily water demand rates of 500 gpdper single-family residential unit, 255 gpdper multi-family unit, 1,785gpd per school acre, 2,155gpd per park acre, 893 gpd per community purpose acre, 0.14 gpdper commercial square foot, and 0.07 gpdper industrial squarefoot, yields a total daily combined water demand of 2,388,355 gallons under BAU assumptions. Annual BAU water demand wouldtotal approximately 871,749,429 gallons. Of this annual total, approximately 642,423,725gallons would be associated with residential uses, 33,488,385gallons would be associated with school uses, 43,576,255 gallons would be associated with park uses, 3,520,206 gallons would be associated with community purpose uses, 91,980,000 gallons with commercial uses, and 56,760,858 gallons would be associated with industrial uses.The embodied energy demand associated with this total water use would equate to 7,409.87MWh per year. Multiplying this value by the electricity emission factors for the three primary GHGs of concern in Table 8 yields an estimated annual emission associated with BAU water use of 4,524.61MTCO2E. e.Solid Waste Emissions The disposal of solid waste produces GHG emissions from anaerobic decomposition in landfills, incineration, and from the combustion of transportation fuel in the haul trucks that transport waste. Based on 6,050 residential units,1.8 million square feet of commercial space,2.2million square feet of industrial space,10.8 acres of community purpose facilities, 51.4 acres of schools, and 55.4 acres of park space, buildout under BAU assumptions would annually generate approximately 49,566tons of solid waste each year. The residential uses would generate approximately 9,948tons,the commercial uses would generate approximately 15,111 tons,the school uses would generate approximately 2,911tons, the community purpose facility would generate approximately 2,682tons, the park would generate approximately 264tons, and the industrial uses would generate approximately 18,650 tonseach year. GHG emissions associated with the disposal or diversion of this waste would equal approximately 7,918.07MTCO2E per year. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 48 f.Construction Emissions Based on estimates of construction-related emissions for typical residential and non- residentialprojects, approximate annual emission rates of 0.077 MTCO2E per residential dwelling unit and 0.006 MTCO2E per non-residentialsquare foot were determined. Multiplying these values by the proposed 6,050 residential units,4million square feet of commercial/industrialuse, and 51.4 acres of schools (converted to 1.79million square feetbased on a conservative coverage ratio of 0.80:1), 10.8 acres of community purpose facility (converted to 376,358square feetbased on a conservative 0.80:1coverageratio) and 55.4 acres of park use (converted to 603,306square feet of park structure space based on aconservative structure/park acre ratio of 0.25:1)results in annual construction emissions of 41,090.96MTCO2E. 5.1.1.2Proposed Project Emissions a.Transportation-Related Emissions Proposed Project Average Trip Length Relative to Regional VMT The BAU 2020 forecasted increase in transportation-related GHG emissions is dominated by an increase in emissions from on-road passenger vehicles; hence the emphasis in the CARB Scoping Plan on measures to reduce GHG emissions from on- road passenger vehicles (refer to Table 4). CARB’s estimated growth in vehicle emissions resulted from projected growth in statewide VMT due primarily to statewide population growth as projected by the Department of Finance. CARB’s statewide VMT projections held average vehicle trip length and vehicle fleet mix constant. The BAU trip length for the San Diego region would thus be 5.8 miles, as currently reported by SANDAG (2009). If a plan or project were to add motorists or to increase local trip lengths to such a degree that the regional average trip length was increased, regional and potentially statewide VMT could be increased. The project would thus be considered to generate vehicle GHG emissions in excess of those accounted for in the BAU 2020 Emissions Forecast. By extension, it would also be considered to generate vehicle emissions beyond those accounted for in the Scoping Plan reduction measures. Patterns of development can increase, decrease, or have no effect at all on travel choices, depending on their location and design. For example, through provision of public transit, carpooling, and walking and biking amenities, and by bringing more people closer to more destinations, the City can increase low carbon travel and decrease on- road VMT. These are the types of strategies identified in the Scoping Plan’s Regional Transportation-Related GHG Targets measure. CARB expects that this measure will Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 49 reduce transportation-related GHG emissions by about 5 million MTCO2E, or 3percent of the total statewide GHG reductions (see Table 4). The Proposed Project is surrounded by existing or planned residential and mixed-use development to the north and west, with some neighborhood-serving commercial uses in the vicinity. Within the Proposed Project, a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational uses would be provided. These proximities would encourage walking and biking and relatively short local vehicle trips, as reflected in the shorter-than-regional- average trip lengths SANDAG identified for Villages 8 West and 9(SANDAG 2010b). Compared to the regional average daily vehicle trip length of 5.8 miles, the average daily trip length for Village 8 would be 4.62 miles and the average daily trip length for Village 9 would be 5.08 miles. The average daily trip length for the RTP in the Planning Area10/University Sitewas not determinedbut industrial park trip lengths are typically shorter than residential trip lengths and the same as commercial trip lengths (Institute of Transportation Engineers 2008).Because the Proposed Project would not increase the regional trip length, itsprojected vehicle-emissions would be consistent with forecasted vehicle emissions, and its cumulative contribution to statewide vehicle emissions would be less than significant. According to the traffic analysis, the Proposed Project would generate 113,073ADTat buildout (LLG 2011). Of this total ADT, 43,564 ADT would be associated with Village 8 West,56,123 ADT would be associated with Village 9,and the remaining13,386 ADT would be associated withthe RTPin the Planning Area10/University Site.Average local trip length data provided by SANDAG for the traffic analysis zones (TAZs) for Villages 8 West and 9 identify an average daily trip length of 4.62 miles for TAZ #4391 (i.e., Village 8 West) and 5.08 miles for TAZ #4373 (i.e., Village 9) (SANDAG 2010b). The RTP and Planning Area10/University Sitefall within TAZ #4353. This TAZ was not included in the SANDAG trip length model. Therefore, the SANDAG regional average trip length of 5.8 miles was used to estimate VMT for the RTP. Multiplying thesetrip length averages by their associated ADTs results in a daily VMT for the Proposed Project of 564,010; with 201,266 daily VMT resulting from Village 8 West,285,105daily VMT resulting from Village 9,and77,639 daily VMT resulting from the RTP. Overall Transportation Emissions Using the same fuel economy figure used in the above paragraph to estimate BAU vehicle emissions, the projected daily VMT of 564,010would result in an annual vehicle emissions generation of 97,538.09MTCO2E. However, as identified in the Section 3.2 Regulatory Background, there are several plans and regulations aimed at reducing transportation-related GHG emissions nationally and statewide by 2020, by increasing average vehicle fuel economy, decreasing average engine combustion emissions, and decreasing average VMT and trip length. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 50 The key regulations affecting vehicle emissions include the national CAFE Standards which would increase average vehicle fuel economy to 35 mpg by 2020; the state Pavley GHG Vehicle Emissions Standards which set increasingly stringent emissions limits on vehicles, requiring improvement in vehicle engine technologies; and the state LCFS which reduces the carbon content of vehicle fuels. All of these actions have been approved by either the national or state legislatures and are coming into effect on a staggered timeline, with 2016 being the earliest vehicle model year affected. As shown in Table 4, CARB estimates that an approximate 46.7 MMTCO2E reduction, or 32 percent of the reduction target for cappedsources and 27percent of the total 174 MMTCO2E reduction target, would be achieved through full implementation of just the Pavley and LCFS transportation-related regulatory actions. A third action, the Vehicle Efficiency Measure, is estimated by CARB toadd another 4.5 MMTCO2E, or 2.5percent, to the total statewide reductions. The national CAFE Standards, while not quantified in the CARB Scoping Plan, would likely contribute to further reductions in statewide vehicle GHG emissions. It can be assumed that newer vehicles associated with the Proposed Project would benefit from these regulations, and estimated vehicle emissions would accordingly decrease. By accounting for the Scoping Plan measures already adopted, and the reduced vehicle trip lengths, theestimated vehicle emissions associated with the Proposed Project would decrease by 40percent (with approximately 10percent coming from the reduced vehicle trip lengths and nearly 30percent from the state regulations), resulting in GHG emissions of 68,276.67MTCO2E (compared to the 113,416.15 MTCO2E estimated for BAU). In order to fully evaluate the significance of the Proposed Project’s vehicle emissions reductionsrelative to the BAU 2020 vehicle emissions forecast and the Scoping Plan’s vehicle emissions reductions, it is necessary to look at the Proposed Project in terms of its average trip length and effects on regional VMT. b.Electricity Emissions Buildout of the Proposed Project would be subject to the Chula Vista Green Building and Increased Energy Efficiency ordinances of the City’s Municipal Code. These two ordinances are described in Section 3.2.4.5 and Section 3.2.4.6 and would achieve a 30 percent reduction in building energy (electricity and natural gas) use compared to BAU assumptions and a 20 percent reduction in potable water consumption (and associated embodied energy) compared to BAU assumptions. Based on the energy savings required in the City’s Increased Energy Efficiency ordinance, the proposed 6,050 residential units,1.8 million cubic feet of commercial space,10.8 acres of community purpose facility use, 51.4 acres of schools, 55.4 acres of park space, and 2.2 million square feet of industrial spacewould annually consume 94,054.45MWh of electricity. The residential uses would consume approximately Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 51 28,617.65MWh,the commercial uses would consume approximately 17,766 MWh,the school uses would consume approximately 9,952 MWh, the community purpose space would consume 3,089 MWh, active park uses would consume approximately maximum of 15,845 MWh, and the industrial uses would consume approximately 19,124 MWh each year. This equates to the emission of 12,232.14MTCO2E each year from residential uses,10,848.26 MTCO2E each year from commercial uses, 6,077.06 MTCO2E each year from school uses, 9,675.40 MTCO2E each year from active park uses, 1,886.18 MTCO2E each year from community purpose facilities, and16,712.41 MTCO2E each year from industrial uses; totaling 57,431.45MTCO2E each year. As shown in Table 4, the CARB Scoping Plan includes a Renewables Portfolio Standard which requires public utilities to acquire an increasing proportion of their energy supply from renewable energies. By 2020, 33percent of all statewide electricity generation is to come from renewable energies. This wouldresult in a statewide emissions reduction of 26.3 MMTCO2E and is a reduction that is counted toward the total 2020 emissions reduction target. As a result of implementation of the Renewables Portfolio Standard, GHG emissions from electricity generation needed to supply the Project would likely decline as energy supply shifts from fossil-fuel based energies to renewable energy. Renewable energies have zero to little carbon content and their use in electricity generation emits fewer GHGs. c.Natural Gas Emissions Buildout of the Proposed Project would be subject to the Increased Energy Efficiency ordinance of the City’s Municipal Code. This ordinance is described in Section 3.2.4.6 and would achieve a 15 percent reduction in building energy use compared to the existing energy code (Title 24, Year 2008), which equates to a 30 percent reduction in building energy and natural gas use compared to BAU assumptions. Based on the energy savings required in the City’s Increased Energy Efficiency ordinance, the proposed 6,050 residential units,1.8 million square feet of commercial space,10.8 acres of community purpose facility, 51.4 acres of schools, 55.4 acres of parks, and 2.2 million square feet of industrial use would annually consume 344.83 million cubic feet of natural gas. The residential uses would consume approximately 174.44million cubic feet,the commercial uses would consume approximately 43.85 million cubic feet,the community purpose facility would consume approximately 10.93 million cubic feet, the schools would consume approximately 24.29 million cubic feet, the park uses would consume approximately 5.07 million cubic feet, and the industrial uses would consume 86.25 million cubic feeteach year. This equates to the emission of 9,552.49MTCO2E of GHGs each year from residential uses,2,401.22 MTCO2E each year from commercial uses, 598.73 MTCO2E each year from community purpose facilities, 1,330.34 MTCO2E each year from schools, 277.52 MTCO2E each year from park uses, and 4,723.53 MTCO2E each year from industrial uses; totaling 18,883.83 MTCO2E of GHG emissions each year. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 52 d.Water Use Emissions Buildout of the Proposed Project would be subject to the Green Building Standards in the City’s Municipal Code. This ordinance is described in Section 3.2.4.5 and would achieve a 20 percent reduction in water use compared to the existing plumbing code (year 2006) and BAU assumptions. An adjustment to the WRMP daily water demand rates identified above for BAU were thus made to account for the City’s more stringent water conservation design requirements.Multiplying the proposed 887single-family residential units, 5,163multi-family residential units,51.4 acres of schools, 54.4acres of park use, 10.8 acres of community purpose, 1.8 million square feet of commercialspace, and 2.2 million square feet of industrial space, by adjustedWRMP daily water demand rates of 400 gallons per single-family residential unit, 204gallons per multi-family unit, 1,428 gallons per school acre, 1,724gallons per park acre, 714.4 gallons per community purpose acre, 0.11gallon per commercial square foot, and 0.06gallon per industrial squarefoot, yields a total daily combined water demand of 1,910,684gallons for the Proposed Project. Annual project water demand wouldtotal approximately 697,399,543gallons. Of this annual total, approximately 513,938,980gallons would be associated with residential uses, 26,790,708 gallons would be associated with school uses, 34,861,004gallons with park uses, 2,816,165 gallons would be associated with community purpose uses, 73,584,000gallons withcommercial uses, and 45,408,686 gallons would be associated with industrial uses. This water usage amounts to approximately 20 percent less than the average water use for residential and non- residential uses built to the current plumbing code. The embodied energy demand associated with the Proposed Project’s total water use would equate to 5,927.90MWh per year. Multiplying this value by the electricity emission factors for the three primary GHGs of concern in Table 8 yields an estimated annual emission associated with water use of 3,619.69MTCO2E. While not shown in Table 4, the CARB Scoping Plan includes other reduction strategies not counted toward the 2020 target reduction of 174 MMTCO2E statewide. CARB estimates that their recommended water sector measures would reduce an additional 4.8 MMTCO2E by 2020. These are measures required of water suppliers that would improve energy and other efficiencies associated with water supply. Thus, it is possible that the embodied energy and resulting GHG emissions associated with supplying potable water to the Proposed Project would decrease somewhat by 2020. e.Solid Waste Emissions While the Proposed Project would implement lumber and other materials conservation in accordance with the City’s Green Building Standards (see Section 3.2.4.5) and likely generate less landfill waste than average BAU, these savings cannot be estimated at this time. Therefore, for purposes of this program-level estimation, the Proposed Project is considered to generate the same amount of waste and associated GHG emissions as Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 53 that under BAU: 49,565.66tons of solid waste each year, resulting in 7,918.07MTCO2E of GHG emissions each year. Future development in accordance with the Proposed Project would be required to implement lumber and other materials conservation in conformance with the Green Building Standards in effect at the time of project submittal that would likely exceed average or BAU practice. The importance of this action is revealed in CalRecycle’s annual Statewide Waste Characterization Study (2008), which noted that inerts and other materials accounted for nearly one-third (29 percent) of the statewide waste stream, with lumber representing nearly 15 percent. The largest change inthe overall waste stream was an increase, from 22 percent to 29 percent, in this materials class, largely due to an increase in lumber. As shown in Table 4, the CARB Scoping Plan includes Recycling and Waste measures that would reduce statewide emissions by roughly 1.0 MMTCO2E by 2020. This is to be achieved through improved landfill methane capture. Also, while not shown in Table 4, the CARB Scoping Plan includes other waste sector reduction strategies not counted toward the statewide 2020 emissions reduction target. CARB estimates that these additional waste and recycling sector measures would provide up to an additional 10MMTCO2E reduction by 2020. Thus, it is possible that the embodied energy and emissions resulting from disposing of the Proposed Project’s solid waste may decrease somewhat by 2020 due to these measures. f.Construction Emissions The Proposed Project would generate the same approximate amount of construction emissions as BAU, 41,090.96MTCO2E per year. The Scoping Plan does not identify any measures specific to reducing GHG emissions from construction activities. However, the reduction measure affecting heavy-duty vehicle emissions would potentially encompass off-road construction equipment and reduce emissions through improved engine technology and conversion to non-diesel, low carbon fuels. Thus, as with the majority of the Scoping Plan’s transportation-related reduction measures, reductions in construction emissions would have to come from emissions limits on construction equipment, redesign of construction equipment technology, and/or conversion to low carbon fuels. These measures are outside the control of the City or project-specific design. 5.1.1.3Cumulative Projects GHG Emissions While the GHG analysis for the Proposed Project is, in consideration of the global nature of climate change, a cumulative analysis, an additionaldetailed cumulative analysis is provided based on probable future projects (foreseeable) projects within the Project Area. These projects include Village 8 East and Planning Area 10/University Site. This Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 54 quantitative analysis of the potential cumulative impacts is based on the ratio of ADTs attributed to the foreseeable projects compared to ADTs from the Proposed Project. Specifically, total project generated ADTS(113,073) were divided into total ADT for the cumulative study area (174,700) resulting in a coefficient of 1.5. This coefficient is applied to all GHG emission factors to estimate cumulative emission levels. a.Transportation-Related Emissions The Cumulative Projects transportation-related GHG emissions would amount to approximately 102,415.00MTCO2E per year, or 1.5times the 68,276.67MTCO2E per year projected for the Proposed Project. This emissions estimate takes into account a less-than-regional-average local trip length and state regulations affecting vehicle engine and fuel manufacture. The reduction in BAU vehicles emissions from these GHG- reducing aspects of the Cumulative Projects would be approximately 40 percent; with approximately 10 percentresulting from smart-growth circulation patterns and 30 percent resulting from statewide regulations. b.Electricity Emissions Buildout of Cumulative Projects would be subject to the ChulaVista Increased Energy Efficiency Standards ordinance of the City’s Municipal Code. Individual developments would thus be required to achieve at least a 30 percent reduction in building energy (electricity and natural gas) use compared to BAU assumptions.Based on the cumulative coefficient of 1.5,, Cumulative Projects would emit approximately 86,147.18 MTCO2E each year. c.Natural Gas Emissions As stated above in buildout of Cumulative Projects would be subject to increased energy efficiency requirements that would save 30 percent building energy and natural gas use compared to BAU assumptions. Based on the cumulative coefficient of 1.5,Cumulative Projects would emit approximately 28,325.75MTCO2E of GHG emissions each year associated with natural gas combustion. d.Water Use Emissions Buildout of Cumulative Projects would also be subject to the water saving requirements of the City’s Green Building Standards ordinance. Individual projects would thus be required to achieve a 20 percent reduction in potable water consumption (and associated embodied energy) compared to BAUassumptions. This water usage amounts to approximately 20 percent less than the average water use for residential and commercial uses built to the current plumbing code. Based on the cumulative coefficient of 1.5,the estimated annual emissions associatedwith Cumulative Projects water use would be 5,429.53MTCO2E. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 55 e.Solid Waste Emissions While Cumulative Projects would implement lumber and other materials conservation in accordance with the City’s Green Building Standards (see Section 3.2.4.5) and likely generate less landfill waste than average BAU, these savings cannot be estimated at this time. Therefore, for purposes of this program-level estimation, buildout of Cumulative Projects is based only on the multiplier of 1.5, without additional credit for conservation measures, amounting to approximately 11,877.11MTCO2E of GHG emissions each year. f.Construction Emissions Approximately 61,636.44MTCO2E per year of construction emissions would be generated by construction of the Cumulative Projects, based onthe 1.5multiplier relative to the Proposed Project. 5.1.2Significance of Impacts 5.1.2.1Target Emissions Based on the calculated BAU project-equivalent emissions and the goal of a 20 percent reduction in BAU 2020 emissions, an emissions cap for the Proposed Project can be determined. As shown in the Table 9 in Section 5.1.2.3 below, the total estimated BAU emissions would be 275,971.62MTCO2E each year. A 20 percent reduction in this amount would equal 220,777.29MTCO2E each year. Therefore, the Propose Project would be considered to be consistent with the Scoping Plan and AB 32 Year 2020 goals if it were to emit total annual emissions resulting from electricity, natural gas and water use, solid waste disposal and construction activities, equal to or less than 220,777.29MTCO2E. 5.1.2.2Proposed Project GHG Reduction Features As described in Section 2.1, the Proposed Project is a GPA and GDPA to allow the ultimate development of up to 6,050 residential units,1.8 million square feet of commercial and2.2 million square feet of industrial uses, 10.8 acres of community purpose use, 51.4 acres of schools,and 55.4 acres of park use.As part of the GPA, proposed text revisions to the GP’s Environmental Element, Objective E7would include the following newPolicy E 7.8: Objective E 7 Promote energy conservation through the efficient use of energy and through the development of local, non-fossil fuel-based renewable sources of energy. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 56 Policy E 7.8: Ensure that residential and non-residential construction complies with all applicable City of Chula Vista energy efficiency measures that are in effect at the time of discretionary permit review and approval or building permit issuance, whichever is applicable. This new policy would ensure that all subsequent projects comply with, at a minimum, the existing GBS ordinance and Increased Energy Efficiency Standards ordinance. These two City ordinances are included as Attachment2 and are hereby incorporated by reference. As described in Sections3.2.4.5 and 3.2.4.6 respectively, these two ordinances require all new development and redevelopment or remodels over a threshold size to incorporate design that achieves at least 20percent greater water conservation than the current plumbing code and 15percent greater energy efficiency than the current 2008 Title 24 energy code (i.e., 30percent greater energy efficiency than the 2005 Title 24 energy code). As required in the ordinances, building permits for subsequent development in accordance with the Proposed Project would be thoroughly reviewed by the Building Official for compliance with the ordinances prior to approval. As part of the building permit application, project construction plans and specifications shall indicate the energy and GBS standards, product specifications, and method of construction, in the general notes or individual drawings. No building permit shall be issued for any project until the Building Official has determined that the plans and specifications are in compliance with the requirements of the ordinances. Additional inspections may be conducted as needed to ensure compliance and if at any stage of construction the Building Official determines that the project is not being constructed in accordance with the permitted plans and documents, a stop order may be issued that will remain in effect until the Building Official allows. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the Building Official shall review all relevant information and determine whether the project has been built in accordance with the permit. If the Building Official determines that a project applicant has failed to construct the project in accordance with the permitted plans and documents, then the final building approval and certificate of occupancy may be withheld. 5.1.2.3Proposed Project GHG Reductions Relative to BAU 2020 The total GHG emissions attributed to vehicle use and building occupancies for BAU and the Proposed Project are summarized below in Table 9. The Proposed Project is estimated to generate a total of 197,220.66MTCO2E GHG emissions (68,276.67from vehicle use and 128,944MTCO2E from non-transportation-related sources) each year above existing conditions. BAU is estimated to generate a total of 275,971.62MTCO2E of GHG emissions each year above existing conditions (113,416.15MTCO2E from Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 57 vehicle use and 162,555.47MTCO2E from non-transportation-related sources). This Proposed Project total reduction of 78,750.95MTCO2E equates to a 29percent reductionin BAU emissions, and results from the Proposed Project’s incorporation of smart-growth vehicle circulation patterns, lower-emitting vehicles given state regulations, and advanced energy efficiency and water conservation design that would reduce GHG emissions associated with energy and water use. Of the totalProposed Project reduction, a 33,611.47MTCO2E, or 21percent,reduction in non-vehicular BAU would result from the advanced energy efficiency and water conservation design alone. Other Proposed Project features that may reduce GHG emissions, such as landscaping, heat island reduction, lumber conservation, and other actions required in the City’s Green Building Standards were not readily quantifiable and are not included in the Proposed Project’s emissions estimate. TABLE 9 SUMMARY OF ESTIMATED GHG EMISSIONS AND PROJECT REDUCTIONS RELATIVE TO BAU (MTCO2E) Emission Source BAU Project- Equivalent Target Emissions Proposed Project Percent Reduction Vehicles Use 113,416.15 --68,276.67 40 Electricity Use 82,044.93 --57,431.45 30 Natural Gas Use 29,976.90 --18,883.83 30 Water Consumption 4,524.61 --3,619.69 20 Solid Waste Disposal 7,918.07 --7,918.07 0 Construction 41,090.96 --41,090.96 0 TOTAL 275,971.62 220,777.29 197,220.66 29 As shown in Table 9, a 20 percent reduction in BAU GHG emissions would equal 220,777.29MTCO2E per year. The Proposed Project would generate an estimated 197,220.66MTCO2E per year. Based only on increased energy and water savings afforded by the proposed General Plan Policy 7.8 and existing City ordinances, the Proposed Project would reduce non-transportation-related BAU emissions by 21percent. Factoring in vehicle emissions reductions, the Proposed Project would reduce overall BAU emissions by 29percent, thereby exceeding the City’s significance threshold of a 20percentreduction in GHG emissions relative to BAU 2020. Impacts associated with the Proposed Project’s contribution of GHGs to cumulative statewide emissions would therefore be less than significant. 5.1.2.4Cumulative Projects GHG Emissions The Cumulative Projects annual GHG emissions would total approximately 295,831.00MTCO2E per year. Under BAU, annual GHG emissions would approximate 413,957.43MTCO2E per year. These quantities were derived by multiplying the estimates derived through the above BAU and Proposed Project emissions calculations Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 58 by a factor of 1.5to reflect the proportionally greater intensity of development allowed through buildout of projects in an expanded cumulative projects area or that includes Village 8 East and Planning Area10/UniversitySite. These calculations provide a cursory estimate of the magnitude of GHG emissions that would occur under Cumulative Projects buildout. Given that individual projects within the Cumulative Projects area would be subject to the City’s existing Green Building Standards and Increased Energy Efficiency Standards ordinances, and the proposed GPA new policy E.7.8, future emissions from these projects would be ensured to be at least 20 percent below BAU GHG emissions; and would more likely, as is the case with the Proposed Project, provide reductions in BAU GHG emissions ranging from 21to 29 percent. The Proposed Project’s contribution to these Cumulative Projects GHG emissions would not be significant; and climate change impacts associated with the Cumulative Projects buildout is anticipated to be less than significant. 5.2Project Consistency with Adopted Plans, Policies, and Regulations 5.2.1Impacts The regulatory plans and policies discussed extensively in Section 3.0 above aim to reduce national, state,and local GHG emissions by primarily targeting the largest emitters of GHGs: the transportation and energy sectors. Plan goals and regulatory standards are thus largely focused on the automobile industry and public utilities. For the transportation sector, the reduction strategy is generally three pronged: to reduce GHG emissions from vehicles by improving engine design; to reduce the carbon content of transportation fuels through research, funding and incentives to fuel suppliers; and to reduce the miles these vehicles travel through land use change and infrastructure investments. For the energy sector, the reduction strategies aim to: reduce energy demand; impose emission caps on energy providers; establish minimum building energy and green building standards; transition to renewable non-fossil fuels; incentivize homeowners and builders; fully recover landfill gas for energy; expand research and development; and so forth. 5.2.1.1Local Plans As discussed above in Section 5.2.2, the Proposed Project would achieve substantial GHG reductions through green building design that includes increase energy efficiency Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 59 and improved water conservation, sustainable materials use, waste reduction, lumber conservation, indoor air quality, and heat island reduction. TheseGHG-reducing design features would be incorporated into subsequent projects as required in the City’s Green Building Standards and the Increased Energy Efficiency Standards adopted by ordinance into the Municipal Code. Verification and commissioning of these features would occur through independent third party inspection and diagnostics as part of development permit review and approval. The Proposed Project would thus be consistent with the City’s CPAP and Climate Protection Measures relevant to private land use and development. 5.2.1.2State Plans EO S-3-05 established GHG emission reduction targets for the state, and AB 32 launched the Climate Change Scoping Plan that outlined the reduction measures needed to reach these targets. The Scoping Plan and its implementing and complementary regulations are discussed at length in Section 3.2. Also, in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above, the Project’s consistency with the state reduction targets for transportation, energy and other emissions associated with land use and development, is demonstrated. In short, the Proposed Project was shown to provide a 21percent reduction in non-transportation-related BAU emissions, and a 29percent reduction in overall BAU emissions, consistent with the percent reduction targeted in the Scoping Plan for land development-related emissions. In addition, the Proposed Project was demonstrated in Section 5.1 to not increase regional VMT, and is therefore consistent with recommendations in the Scoping Plan and assumptions in the BAU 2020 Forecast pertaining to transportation-related emissions. The Proposed Project is also consistent with state goals regarding climate change adaptation and the Scoping Plan’s recommendation to expand the use of green building practices in order to reduce the carbon footprint of new buildings and better adapt them to climate change. The Proposed Project, by providing a 21percent reduction in non-transportation-related GHG emissions compared to BAU, may be seen to exceed its fair share in achieving the state’s reduction target given that the reduction measures and quantities identified in the Scoping Plan that relate specifically to land development (the Regional Transportation- Related Measure, the Building Energy Efficiency measure, and the Million Solar Roofs measure) add up to approximately 20percent of the total reduction needed statewide. 5.2.2Significance of Impacts The Proposed Project is consistent with the goals and strategies of local and state plans, policies, and regulations aimed at reducing GHG emissions from land use and development. Impacts would be less than significant. Global Climate Change Analysis for the Otay Land Company General Plan Amendment and Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment Page 60 6.0Conclusions and Recommendations Assuming full implementation of statutory regulations establishing vehicle and fuel emissions limits and technology improvements and shorter thanaverage trip lengths, ADT associated with buildout of the Proposed Project would result in approximately 68,276.67MTCO2E of GHG emissions each year above existing conditions. This estimate represents a nearly 40percent reduction in vehicular GHG emissions compared to the BAU condition which would result in 113,416.15MTCO2E of transportation-related GHG emissions per year above existing conditions. Because the Proposed Project’s average local trip length would not be large enough to increase the regionalaverage vehicle trip length or regional VMT, its vehicle emissions are consistent with the state’s forecasted 2020 BAU vehicle emissions and sector-wide reductions. The Proposed Project’s contribution to cumulative transportation-related GHG emissions is therefore less than significant. The Proposed Project is estimated to generate 128,944MTCO2E of non-transportation- related GHG emissions each year above existing conditions, and BAU is estimated to generate 162,555.47MTCO2E of non-transportation-related GHG emissions each year above existing conditions. Implementation of the Proposed Project would thus result in a 21percent reduction in BAU 2020 non-transportation-related emissions,thereby exceeding the 20percent reduction target established by the City consistent with AB 32 and the CARB Scoping Plan. The Proposed Project’s non-transportation-related emissions reduction of approximately 33,611.47MTCO2Ewould result from design features required to be incorporated into subsequent development proposals that substantially reduce energy and water use. The Proposed Project’s overall contribution to cumulative GHG emissions would therefore not be significant and would not conflict with or obstruct the goals and strategies of local and state plans, policies, and regulations aimed at reducing GHG emissions from land development. 7.0References Cited American Water Works Association 2001Handbook of Water Use and Conservation.Amy Vickers.

Four qualitative storylines yield four sets of scenarios called "families": A1, A2, B1, and B2. Altogether 40 SRES scenarios have been developed by six modeling teams. All are equally valid with no assigned probabilities of occurrence. The set of scenarios consists of six scenario groups drawn from the four families: one group each in A2, B1, B2, and three groups within the A1 family, characterizing alternative developments of energy technologies: A1FI (fossil fuel intensive), A1B (balanced), and A1T (predominantly non-fossil fuel). Within each family and group of scenarios, some share "harmonized" assumptions on global population, gross world product, and final energy. These are marked as "HS" for harmonized scenarios. "OS" denotes scenarios that explore uncertainties in driving forces beyond those of the harmonized scenarios. The number of scenarios developed within each category is shown. For each of the six scenario groups an illustrative scenario (which is always harmonized) is provided. Four illustrative marker scenarios, one for each scenario family, were used in draft form in the 1998 SRES open process and are included in revised form in this report. Two additional illustrative scenarios for the groups A1FI and A1T are also provided and complete a set of six that illustrate all scenario groups. All are equally sound. By 2100 the world will have changed in ways that are difficult to imagine - as difficult as it would have been at the end of the 19th century to imagine the changes of the 100 years since. Each storyline assumes a distinctly different direction for future developments, such that the four storylines differ in increasingly irreversible ways. Together they describe divergent futures that encompass a significant portion of the underlying uncertainties in the main driving forces. They cover a wide range of key "future" characteristics such as demographic change, economic development, and technological change. For this reason, their plausibility or feasibility should not be considered solely on the basis of an extrapolation of current economic, technological, and social trends. The A1 storyline and scenario family describes a future world of very rapid economic growth, global population that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, and the rapid introduction of new and more efficient technologies. Major underlying themes are convergence among regions, capacity building, and increased cultural and social interactions, with a substantial reduction in regional differences in per capita income. The A1 scenario family develops into three groups that describe alternative directions of technological change in the energy system. The three A1 groups are distinguished by their technological emphasis: fossil intensive (A1FI), non-fossil energy sources (A1T), or a balance across all sources (A1B)3 . The A2 storyline and scenario family describes a very heterogeneous world. The underlying theme is self-reliance and preservation of local identities. Fertility patterns across regions converge very slowly, which results in continuously increasing global population. Economic development is primarily regionally oriented and per capita economic growth and technological change are more fragmented and slower than in other storylines. The B1 storyline and scenario family describes a convergent world with the same global population that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, as in the A1 storyline, but with rapid changes in economic structures toward a service and information economy, with reductions in material intensity, and the introduction of clean and resource-efficient technologies. The emphasis is on global solutions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability, including improved equity, but without additional climate initiatives. The B2 storyline and scenario family describes a world in which the emphasis is on local solutions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. It is a world with continuously increasing global population at a rate lower than A2, intermediate levels of economic development, and less rapid and more diverse technological change than in the B1 and A1 storylines. While the scenario is also oriented toward environmental protection and social equity, it focuses on local and regional levels.

Understanding Global Climate Change Page 19 Land-use change and forestry often act as sinks, thus reducing a nation’s total GHG emissions. Because nations that are not included in Annex I to the Convention (Non-Annex I Parties comprised of 122 nations) are largely developing countries, emissions data for these countries are more sporadic and incomplete. The most recent emissions data from non- Annex I Parties indicate that total emissions from these nations were approximately 11,931 Tg CO2 equivalent, including land use-change and forestry (UNFCCC 2005). As such, using the most recent data available for Annex I and Non-Annex I Parties, 2004 global emissions of GHGs were approximately 28,008 Tg CO2 equivalent, including land-use change and forestry. Each year, the U.S. EPA prepares an inventory of GHG emissions and sinks report. The report provides information on GHG emissions and sink sources and is used to develop policies and track progress. Inventories are submitted to the UN. The most recent final report,Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990–2007, was completed in April 2009 (U.S. EPA 2009). The 2010 update is currently undergoing public review. The U.S. EPA also provides guidance for states to develop GHG inventories. The Inventory of California Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990 to 2004 completed in December 2006, including subsequent revisions to the in-state electricity production estimates, is the most recent report for California (State of California 2006b, 2007). Tables 3 and 4 summarize the national GHG emissions in 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005 through 2007, and State GHG emissions from 1990 through 2004, respectively.
