Veterans Memorial Senior Center/YMCA Project 14 Addendum #2 City of Redwood City November 2025 the Air District’s BMPs and 2019 EIR MM AIR-3.1. Therefore, the modified project would not result in any new significant impacts or more significant community health risk effects than disclosed in the 2019 EIR or 2022 Addendum. 4.2.2 Energy The 2019 EIR concluded that the project would not result in wasteful energy use during construction activities with the implementation of the same measures and conditions described above (i.e., Air District BMPs and 2019 EIR MM AIR-3.1), as they would limit the idling of construction equipment.9 The 2022 Addendum concluded that the changes to the off-site traffic calming measures would not result in any new significant impacts or more significant impacts than disclosed in the 2019 EIR because the modified project would still be required to implement 2019 EIR MM AIR-3.1 and the same standard conditions of approval identified in the 2019 EIR, which facilitate efficient energy use.10 Since the modified project would also implement the same Air District BMPs as a condition of approval and 2019 EIR MM AIR-3.1, it would not result in any new significant impacts or more significant energy impacts than disclosed in the 2019 EIR or 2022 Addendum. 4.2.3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Operational Emissions and Consistency with the Climate Action Plan When the 2019 EIR was prepared, there were two threshold options to determine whether a project was considered to have an impact related to GHG emissions: a quantitative threshold and a qualitative threshold. The quantitative threshold (Option 1) stated that a project would have a less than significant GHG impact if it did not generate emissions that exceeded 660 Metric Tons (MT) of carbon dioxide equivalent per year (CO2e/yr) and 2.8 MT CO2e per service population per year. The qualitative threshold (Option 2) stated that a project would have a less than significant GHG impact if it was located in a community with an adopted qualified GHG Reduction Strategy and found to be consistent with the GHG Reduction Strategy by identifying and implementing all applicable and feasible measures and policies from the GHG Reduction Strategy into the project. At the time the 2019 EIR was prepared, the City was in the process of updating its Climate Action Plan (CAP). Therefore, the 2019 EIR evaluated the project’s operational GHG emissions using the quantitative threshold (Option 1). The operational GHG emissions that would be generated by the original project were disclosed and were found to be less than significant because they were below the quantitative GHG thresholds of significance established by the Air District at that time.11 The annual net emissions from operation of the original project were predicted to be 484 MT CO2e in the year 2024 and 281 MT CO2e in the year 2030. 9 City of Redwood City.
