Local Guidelines for Implementing the <br />California Environmental Quality Act (2019) INITIAL STUDY <br /> <br />C. Consistency with Applicable Plans. <br />When an EIR is prepared, it must discuss any inconsistencies between the proposed <br />project and any applicable general plan, specific plans, and regional plans. This includes, but is <br />not limited to, any applicable air quality attainment plans, regional blueprint plans, or plans for <br />the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. <br />D. Mitigation Measures Related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions. <br />Lead Agencies must consider feasible means of mitigating the significant effects of <br />greenhouse gas emissions. Any such mitigation measure must be supported by substantial <br />evidence and be subject to monitoring or reporting. Potential mitigation will depend on the <br />particular circumstances of the project, but may include the following, among others: <br />(1) Measures in an existing plan or mitigation program for the reduction of emissions <br /> <br />(2) Reductions in emissions resulting from a project through implementation of <br />project features, project design, or other measures, such as those described in <br />State CEQA Guidelines Appendix F; <br />(3) Off-site measures, including offsets that are not otherwise required, to mitigate a <br /> <br />(4) Measures that sequester greenhouse gases; and <br />(5) In the case of the adoption of a plan, such as a general plan, long range <br />development plan, or plan for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, <br />mitigation may include the identification of specific measures that may be <br />implemented on a project-by-project basis. Mitigation may also include the <br />incorporation of specific measures or policies found in an adopted ordinance or <br />regulation that reduces the cumulative effect of emissions. <br />E. Streamlined Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Emissions. <br />Under certain limited circumstances, the legislature has specifically declared that the <br />analysis of greenhouse gas emissions or climate change impacts may be limited. Public <br />Resources Code Sections 21155, 21155.2, and 21159.28 provide that if certain residential, mixed <br />use and transit priority projects meet specified ratios and densities, then the lead agencies for <br />those projects may conduct a limited review of greenhouse gas emissions or may be exempted <br />from analyzing global warming impacts that result from cars and light duty trucks, if a detailed <br />list of requirements is met. However, unless the project is exempt from CEQA, the Lead Agency <br />must consider whether such projects will result in greenhouse gas emissions from other sources, <br />including, but not limited to, energy use, water use, and solid waste disposal. <br /> <br />2019 City of Santa Ana Local Guidelines 5-19 ©Best Best & Krieger LLP <br /> <br />
