Based on the analysis in Table 5, the Project would be consistent with the State's 2022 Climate <br />Change Scoping Plan's objective of achieving carbon neutrality statewide by 2045 and reducing <br />2030 GHG emissions in accord with SIB 32. <br />The Project would also benefit from statewide and utility -provider efforts towards increasing the <br />portion of electricity provided from renewable resources. SCE has committed to increasing <br />renewable sources that exceed the Renewables Portfolio Standard requirements. The Project <br />would include energy efficient mechanical systems, energy efficient glazing and window frames, <br />Energy -Star appliances to be installed on -site, and the use of high -efficiency lighting. The Project <br />would also benefit from statewide efforts to improve fuel economy of vehicles. The Project would <br />also help reduce VMT growth given its design and complementary mix of uses at an infill site that <br />is accessible to existing public transit. <br />As summarized in Table 6, the Project's attributes for reducing GHG emissions consistent with <br />many of the 2022 Scoping Plan's suggested attributes for housing and mixed -use projects that <br />are evaluated under CEQA. <br />Table 6 <br />Consistency Analysis-2022 Scoping Plan Update <br />(Key Residential and Mixed -Use Project Attributes That Reduce GHGs) <br />Priority Area <br />Key Project Attribute <br />Project Consistency <br />Transportation <br />Provides EV charging infrastructure that, <br />Not Consistent.
