SANTA ANA CLIMATE ACTION PLAN INITIAL STUDY CITY OF SANTA ANA the City's business -as -usual scenario to assess the level of reductions achieved without implementation of the Draft CAP. Table 1 shows the existing measures and the emissions reduction quantified for each measure. Table 1.

The estimated benefit of these initiatives would be 48,390 MTCO2e per year in 2035. Source: ICLEI -USA 2015 The Draft CAP includes measures related to reducing future emissions from transportation and land use, energy, solid waste, water and wastewater. Table 2 identifies the MTCO2e reductions that would be expected from implementation of each proposed measure. Measures in green are measures that are state mandates or utility programs and measures in yellow are measures that were developed through the CAP process. Implementation of the Draft CAP and emissions reductions from existing measures would result in annual community -wide GHG emissions reductions of 418,896 MTCO2e by 2020 and 731,090 MTCO2e by 2035. Therefore, the City would meet its goal for 2020 by reducing emissions by 16% below 2008 emissions. In 2035, the Draft CAP would result in a reduction of 25% below the 2008 baseline emission levels. Table 3 shows the total emissions reductions of the existing measures and the CAP measures combined in relation to the City's goal. The City will continue to evaluate and monitor the Draft CAP by (1) cracking the implementation status of individual measures, (2) estimating emissions reductions associated with individual measures, and (3) conducting a periodic re-inventory of community -wide emissions. The City will publish an annual progress report that details the status of each measure in the Draft CAP. Conducting a periodic re- inventory and comparing the results with past inventories will show how Santa Ana community emissions are changing overall, and whether they are on track to meet the adopted goals. A re- inventory will be completed in 2018 and every three to five years after that time. Page 8 October 2015 75B -106
