8.B. - Page 52 <br /> • Mobile emissions (e.g., emissions from combustion of fossil fuels for vehicle trips to <br /> and from the site) <br /> • Emissions from the generation of electricity to operate lighting, appliances, and <br /> HVAC on the site, and to convey water to the site. <br /> 4.7.2.2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impacts <br /> The proposed project would result in short-term emissions of GHGs during demolition and <br /> construction activities. The project is located in an urbanized area within close distance of <br /> construction supplies and equipment. Full build-out of the project would take less than one year with <br /> demolition work taking approximately two days,grading activities taking one to two weeks, <br /> foundation work and framing requiring approximately two months, and interior/exterior finishing and <br /> landscaping activities taking a maximum of ten months. Given the small nature of the project <br /> (demolition of an e�sting single-family residence and construction of five single-family residences), <br /> construction of the project would not generate substantial GHG emissions. (Less than Significant <br /> Impact) <br /> A project consisting of five single-family residences is below the minimum GHG emissions <br /> screening size described in the BAAQMD thresholds (56 dwelling units for single-family <br /> development). Based on the relatively small size of the project, and the project location at an infill <br /> site less than half a mile from transit(within walkable distance),the project would result in a less <br /> than significant operational GHG emissions impact. (Less Than Significant Impact) <br /> The project would not generate GHG emissions in excess of established thresholds and would be <br /> built in compliance with the City's Green Building Ordinance. The project,therefore,would not <br /> conflict with any applicable plan,policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the <br /> emissions of GHGs and it would not generate GHG emissions at levels that are considered to have a <br /> significant impact on the environment. (Less Than Significant Impact) <br /> 4.7.3 Conclusion <br /> The project would not conflict with an applicable plan,policy or regulation adopted for the purpose <br /> of reducing GHGs. The proposed project would not result in a significant impact from GHG <br /> emissions.
