Air Quality Management Plan and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan. An Air Quality Plan has been prepared for the Xxxxxxx Hills project which requires the implementation of project-specific emission reductions, consistent with General Plan Policy AQ-4. The Air Quality Plan is provided as Appendix “E” of the Draft SPA Master Plan (see Attachment “A”). Through design features detailed in the AQMP, the Xxxxxxx Hills’ project would result in approximately 35% less ozone precursor emissions than a business as usual project design. PLNP2008-00142 XXXXXXX HILLS PLNP2008-GPB-SDP-ZOB-AHP-00142 SS:ss:gvc A Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Plan, provided as Appendix “D” of the Draft SPA Master Plan (see Attachment “A”) has been prepared for the project which includes project features designed to reduce GHG emissions directly or indirectly, per development standards and design guidelines described in the Xxxxxxx Hills SPA. With all the committed strategies in the Xxxxxxx Hills GHG Plan, the project will achieve cumulative annual emissions of 147,386 Metric Tons (MT) or 5.80 MT per capita, well under the overall target of 6.86 annual MT of Carbon Dioxide equivalent per capita. This reduction represents a 43.04% reduction over the Business as Usual (BAU) scenario. Additional results of this analysis are provided below. In the Residential Sector under BAU, Xxxxxxx Hills will generate 1.50 MT per capita of GHG. By requiring several GHG reduction measures including constructing all units 20% above Title 24 (2008) and requiring a minimum of 20% renewable energy generation for the overall residential usage, Xxxxxxx Hills will achieve 1.18 metric tons (MT) per capita which is below the threshold target of 1.3 annual MT of Carbon Dioxide equivalent emissions. In the Commercial/Industrial Sector, under BAU, Xxxxxxx Hills will generate Carbon Dioxide Equivalent emissions of 6.32 annual MT per kft2. That is less than Sacramento County’s GHG emissions target of 8.08 annual MT of Carbon Dioxide equivalent per kft2. By requiring all buildings to be constructed 20% better than Title 24 requirements (2008), Xxxxxxx Hills will achieve 5.75 MT. The 5.75 annual MT per kft2 equates to 0.62 MT per capita. In the Transportation Sector under BAU, Xxxxxxx Hills will emit 8.01 annual MT of Carbon Dioxide equivalent emissions, compared to the target emissions threshold of 4.56 annual MT. With GHG committed reduction strategies, Xxxxxxx Hills will generate 4.02 MT per capita, which is less than the threshold target of 4.56 annual MT of Carbon Dioxide equival...
