Vista Charter Public Schools District Office and Outdoor Space Project <br />CEQA Exemption 15183 <br />requirements for cumulative impact analyses (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(h)(3)).16,17 A <br />project's incremental contribution to a cumulative impact can be found not cumulatively <br />considerable if the project would comply with an approved plan or mitigation program that <br />provides specific requirements to avoid or substantially lessen the cumulative problem within the <br />geographic area of the project.18 <br />The GPU EIR describes that if project emissions are below the 3,000 MTCO2e bright -line <br />screening threshold, GHG emissions impacts would be considered less than significant. As such, <br />the analysis utilizes the 3,000 MTCO2e per year numerical threshold of significance for GHG <br />emissions and the methodology for evaluating the project's impacts related to GHG emissions <br />also focuses on its consistency with Statewide, regional, and local plans adopted for the purpose <br />of reducing and/or mitigating GHG emissions. <br />PROJECT -RELATED GHG EMISSIONS <br />Project -related GHG emissions include emissions from direct and indirect sources. Direct project - <br />related GHG emissions include emissions from construction activities, area sources, mobile <br />sources, and refrigerants, while indirect sources include emissions from energy consumption, <br />water demand, and solid waste generation. The CalEEMod, version 2022.1 was used to calculate <br />project -related GHG emissions. Table 3, Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions, presents the <br />estimated CO2, N20, and CH4 emissions associated with the proposed project; refer to <br />Attachment A for the CaIEEMod outputs. <br />"California Natural Resources Agency, Final Statement of Reasons for Regulatory Action, pp. 11-13, 14, 16, <br />December 2009, https://resources.ca.gov/CNRALegacyFiles/ceqa/docs/Final_Statement_of_Reasons.pdf, <br />accessed July 13, 2023. <br />" State of California Governor's Office of Planning and Research, Transmittal of the Governor's Office of Planning and <br />Research's Proposed SB97 CEQA Guidelines Amendments to the Natural Resources Agency, April 13, 2009, <br />https://planning.lacity.org/eir/CrossroadsHwd/deir/files/references/COl.pdf, accessed July 13, 2023. <br />18 14 CCR Section 15064(h)(3). <br />Dec I y ouncil 26 — 89 1/16/20'2 e 29 <br />
