Modifications to the GP EIR Mitigation Measures associated with the recirculation of the GP EIR are represented in underline for additions and strikeout for deletions. GHG-1 The City of Santa Ana shall update the Climate Action Plan (CAP) every five years to ensure the City is monitoring the plan’s progress toward achieving the City’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target and to require amendment if the plan is not achieving the specified level. The update shall consider a trajectory consistent with the GHG emissions reduction goal established under Executive Order S-03-05 for year 2050 and the latest applicable statewide legislative GHG emission reduction that may be in effect at the time of the CAP update (e.g., Senate Bill 32 for year 2030). The CAP update shall include the following:  GHG inventories of existing and forecast year GHG levels.  Tools and strategies for reducing GHG emissions to ensure a trajectory with the long- term GHG reduction goal of Executive Order S-03-05.  Plan implementation guidance that includes, at minimum, the following components consistent with the proposed CAP:  Administration and Staffing  Finance and Budgeting  Timelines for Measure Implementation  Community Outreach and Education  Monitoring, Reporting, and Adaptive Management  Tracking Tools Furthermore, the following measures will be considered when the City updates the Climate Action Plan:  Measures to protect the most vulnerable populations  Measure to increase carbon sinks  Standards for electric vehicle parking  Standards for construction projects Analysis of the Modified Project The Modified Project would expressly prohibit STRs and only affect existing structures. The Modified Project would not require development, redevelopment, or changes to existing development types in the city. Additionally, the existing conditions related to GHG have not changed since the certification of the GP EIR. GHG emissions due to construction activities would not occur. The operational activities associated with long- term rentals or permanent residences would be consistent with the operational activities analyzed in the GP EIR Exhibit 3 - Environmental Analysis
