AIR QUALITY and GREENHOUSE GAS STUDY
This report is an analysis of the potential air quality and greenhouse gas impacts associated
with the 3215-3225 Tyler Street Residential Project, a multifamily development proposed for
construction in the City of Carlsbad. The report has been prepared by Birdseye Planning Group,
LLC, under contract to the applicant to support the environmental review process and address
comments provided by the City of Carlsbad after review of the initial project entitlement
submittal. This study analyzes the potential for temporary impacts associated with construction
activity and long-term impacts associated with operation of the proposed project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is 0.53 acres in size and located at 3215-3225 Tyler Street which is generally
southwest of the intersection with Pine Avenue (APN 204-010-09). The project would remove
two existing single-family residences, vegetation and various outbuildings and construct 12
new three-story units within four triplex buildings. The w1its would range between 2,176 and
2,302 square feet. Each unit would have an attached two-car garage and private open space. A
total of six EV ready parking spaces will be provided and all garages wilJ be EV wired. The site
is designated Village in the Carlsbad General Plan and zoned Village-Barrio. The site is within
the Pine-Tyler Mixed Use area as defined in the 2019 Village and Barrio Master Plan.
Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2025 and be completed in late 2025. Figure 1
provides a vicinity map; Figure 2 shows a project site plan.
The following measures are intended to demonstrate compliance with statewide regulations;
and thus, have been incorporated into the the air emissions modeling
• The project will provide recycling bins in the trash enclosure areas;
• The project will install drought-tolerant vegetation and water-efficient irrigation
systems;
• The project will install low-water use appliances and fixtures;
• The project will install Energy Star, or equivalent, dishwashers, clothes washers,
refrigerators, and fans;
• The project will be compliant with San Diego Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD)
Rule 67.0.1 (d) which requires the use of low Volitile Organic Compound (VOC) paint
(no greater than 50 grams/Liter) for use on buildng interior and exterior surface and 100
grams/Liter for traffic marking coatings; and
• The project will install bicycle parking facilities.

3215-3225 Tyler Street Residential Project
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
Dust Control Methods
The project would implement various construction dust control strategies as design features to
be compliant with SDAPCD Rule 55. Compliance with these dust control measures are listed as
follows and would be identified on grading plan approvals:
• During clearing, grading, earth-moving, excavation, or transportation of cut or fill
materials, water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be used to prevent dust from leaving
the site and to create a crust after each day's activities cease;
• During construction, water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be used to keep alJ areas of
vehicle movement damp enough to prevent dust from leaving the site. At a minimum,
this would include wetting down such areas later in the morning, after work is
completed for the day, and whenever winds exceed 15 mph during active operations.
Watering of active disturbance areas, including active grading areas and unpaved roads,
would occur approximately every 2 hours of active operations, approximately three
times per work day (at a minimum):
• All grading and excavation operations shall be halted when wind speeds exceed 25
miles per hour;
• Dirt and debris spilled onto paved surfaces at the project site and on the adjacent
roadways shall be swept, vacuumed, and/or washed at the end of each workday; and All
trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose material to and from the construction site
shall be covered and/or a minimum 2 feet of freeboard shall be maintained.
REGULATORY SETTING
Air PoJlution Regulation
Air pollutants are regulated at the national, State, and air basin level; each agency has a
different degree of control. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
regulates at the national level; the California Air Resources Control Board (CARB) regulates at
the State level; and the SDAPCD regulates air quali ty in San Diego County.
The federal and state governments have been empowered by the federal and state Clean Air
Acts to regulate the emission of airborne pollutants and have established ambient ai r quality
standards for the protection of public heaJth. The VSEPA is the federal agency designated to
administer national air quality regulations, while CARB is the state equivalent in the Califo rnia
Environmental Protection Agency. Local control over air quality management is provided by
CARB through multi-county and county-level Air Pollution Control Districts (APCDs) (also
referred to as Air Quality Management Districts). CARB establishes statewide air quality
standards and is responsible for the control of mobile emission sources, while the local APCDs
are responsible for enforcing standards and regulating stationary sources. CARB has
City of Carlsbad

established 15 air basins statewide. The City of Carlsbad is located in the San Diego Air Basin
(SDAB), which is under the jurisdiction of the SDAPCD.
California Air Resources Board
CARB, whjch became part ofthe Califorrua EPA (CalEPA) in 1991, is responsible for ensuring
implementation of the California Clean Air Act (CCAA), meeting state requirements of the
federal Clean Air Act and establishing California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQSs). It
is also responsible for setting emission standards for vehicles sold in California and for other
emission sources such as conswner products and certain off-road equipment. CARB also
established passenger vehicle fuel specifications and oversees the functions of local air pollution
control districts and air quality management rustricts, wruch in turn administer air quality
activities at the regional and cotmty level. TI,e CCAA is administered by CARB at the state level
and by the Air Quality Management Districts at the regional level. Both state and federal
standards are summarized in Table 1. The federal "primary" standards have been established to
protect the public health. The federal "secondary" standards are intended to protect the nation's
welfare and account for air pollutant effects on soil, water, visibility, materials, vegetation, and
other aspects of the general welfare.

The SDAPCD was created to protect the public from the harmful effects of air pollution, achieve
and maintain air quality standards, foster communjty involvement and develop and implement
cost-effective programs that meet state and federal mandates while considering environmental
and economic impacts.
Specificall y, the SDAPCD is responsible for monitoring air quality and planning, implementing,
and enforcing programs designed to attain and maintain state and federal ambient air quality
standards in the district. Programs developed incl ude air quality rules and regulations that
reguJate stationary source emissions, including area sources, point sources, and certain mobile
source emissions. The SDAPCD is also responsible for establishing permitting requirements for
stationary sources and ensuring that new, modified or relocated stationary sources do not
create net emissions increases; and thus, are consistent with the region's air quality goals. The
SDAPCD provides significance thresholds in Regulation Il, Rule 20.2, Table 20-2-1. "AQIA
Trigger Levels." These trigger levels were established for stationary sources of air pollution and
are commonJy used for environmental evaluations. The SDAPCD enforces air quality rules and
regulations through a variety of means, including inspections, educational or training
programs, or fines, when necessary. The project site is within the SDAB; and thus, is su bject to
SDA PCD rules and regulations.
State Implementation Plan/Air Quality Management Plan/Regional Air Quality Strategy
The federal Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) mandate that states submit and implement a
State Implementation Plan (SIP) for areas not meeting air quality standards. SIPs are
comprehensive plans that describe how an area will attain national and state ambient air quaJity
standards. SIPs are a compilation of new and previously submitted plans, programs (i.e.,
monitoring, modeling and permitting programs), district rules, state regulations and federa l
controls and include pollution control measures that demonstrate how the standards will be
met through those measures.
State law makes CARB the lead agency for all purposes related to the SIP. Local air districts and
other agencies prepare SIP elements and submit them to CARB for review and approval. CARB
forwards SJP revisions to the USEPA for approval and publication in the Federal Regjster.

Thus, the Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) and Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP)
prepared by SDAPCD and referenced herein become part of the SIP as the material relates to
efforts ongoing in San Diego County to achieve the national and state ambient air quality
standards. The most recent SIP element for San Diego County was submitted in December
2016. The document identifies control measures and associated emission reductions necessary
to demonstrate attainment of the 2008 Federal 8-hour ozone stru.1dard by July 20, 2018.
The San Diego RAQS was developed pursuant to California Clean Air Act (CCAA)
requirements. The RAQS was initially adopted in 1991 and was updated in 1995, 1998, 2001,
2004, 2009 and 2016. The 2022 RAQS update is under development. Until it is adopted, the 2016
is applicable and can be found at the following:
https:ljwww.sdapcd.org/content/dam/sdapcd/documents/grants/p1anning/2016%20RAOS%20(1
1J2gi
The RAQS identifies feasible emission control measures to provide progress in San Diego
County toward attaining the State ozone standard. The pollutants addressed in the RAQS are
volatile organic compounds (VOC) (also referred to as Reactive Organic Gases (ROG)) and
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), precursors to the photochemical formation of ozone (the primary
component of smog). The RAQS was initially adopted by the SDAPCD on June 30, 1992, and
amended on March 2, 1993, in response to ARB comments. At present, no attainment plan for
particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) or particulate matter less than 2.5
microns in diameter (PM2$} is required by the state regulations; however, SDAPCD has adopted
measures to reduce particulate matter in the SDAB. These measures range from regulation
against open burning to incentive programs that introduce cleaner technology. These measures
can be found in a report titled "Measures to Reduce Particulate Matter in San Diego County,
December 2005: h ttps:ljwww.sdapcd.org/content/dam/sdapcd/documents/grants/planning/PM-
Measures.pdf
The RAQS relies on information from CARB and SANDAG, including mobile and area source
emissions, as well as information regarding projected growth in the County, to estimate future
emissions and then determine strategies necessary for the reduction of emissions through
regulatory controls. CARB mobile source emission projections and SAND AG growth
projections are based on population and vehicle trends as well as land use plans developed by
the cities and the County as part of the development of the individual General Plans. As such,
projects that propose development consistent with the growth anticipated by the general plans
would be consistent with the RAQS. ln the event that a project would propose development
which is less dense than anticipated within the General Plan, the project would likewise be
consistent with the RAQS. lf a project proposes development that is greater than that
anticipated in the General Plan and SANDAG's growth projections, the project might conflict
with the RAQS and SIP; and thus, have a potentially significant impact on air quality.
Under state law, the SDAPCD is required to prepare an AQMP for pollutants for which the
SDAB is designated non-attainment. Each iteration of the SDAPCD's AQMP is an update of the
previous plan and has a 20-year horizon. Currently the SDAPCD has implemented the 2020

CARB on October 20, 2020. It was adopted and submitted to the USEPA for review on
December 28, 2020. Comments from the USEPA are pending. This plans is available for

SDAPCD Rules and Regulations
As stated above, SDAPCD is responsible for planning, implementing, and enforcing federal .:ind
state ambient standards in the SDAB. The foHowing rules and regulations apply to all sources in
the jurisdiction of SDAPCD, and would apply to the project.
SDAPCD Regulation IV: Prohibitions; Rule 50: Visible Emissions. Prohibits discharge into
the atmosphere from any single source of emissions whatsoever any air contaminant for a
period or periods aggregating more than 3 minutes in any period of 60 consecutive minutes that
is darker in shade than that designated as Number 1 on the Ringelmann Chart, as published by
the United States Bureau of Mines, or of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a
degree greater than does smoke of a shade designated as Number 1 on the Ringelmann Chart
(SDAPCD 1997).
SDAPCD Regulation IV: Prohibitions; Rule 51: Nuisance. Prohibits the disd1arge, from any
source, of such quantities of air contaminants or other materials that cause or have a tendency to
cause injury, detriment, nuisance, annoyance to people and/or the public, or damage to any
business or property (SDAPCD 1976).
SDAPCD Regulation IV: Prohibitions; Rule 55: Fugitive Dust. Regulates fugitive dust
emissions from any commercial construction or demolition activity capable of generating
fugitive dust emissions, including active operations, open storage piles, and inactive disturbed
areas, as well as track-out and carry-out onto paved roads beyond a project site (SDAPCD
2009b).
SDAPCD Regulation IV: Prohibitions; Rule 67.0.1: Architectural Coatings. Requires
manufacturers, distributors, and end users of architectural and industrial maintenance coatings
to .reduce VOC emissions from the use of these coatings, primarily by placing limits on the VOC
content of various coating categories (SDAPCD 2015).
SDAPCD Regulation XII: Toxic Air Contaminates; Rule 1200: Toxic Air Contaminants -New
Source Review. Requires new or modified stationary source units with the potential to emit
Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) above rule threshold levels to either demonstrate that they will
not increase the maximum incremental cancer risk above 1 in 1 million at every receptor
location, or demonstrate that toxics best available control technology (T-BACT) will be
employed if maximum incremental cancer risk is equal to or less than 10 in 1 million, or

demonstrate compliance with SDAPCD's protocol for those sources with an increase in
maxjmum incremental cancer risk at any receptor location of greater than 10 in 1 million but
less than 100 in 1 million (SDAPCD 2017b).
SDAPCD Regulation XII: Toxic Air Contaminates; Rule 1210: Toxic Air Contaminant Public
Health Risks -Public Notification and Risk Reduction. Requires each stationary source that is
required to prepare a public risk assessment to provide written public notice of risks at or above
the following levels: maximum incremental cancer risks equal to or greater than 10 in 1 million,
or cancer burden equal to or greater than 1.0, or total acute noncancer health hazard index equal
to or greater than 1.0, or total chroruc non-cancer health hazard index equal to or greater than
1.0 (SDAPCD 2017c).
Regional Climate and Local Air Quality
The weather of San Diego County is influenced by the Pacific Ocean and its semi-permanent
high-pressure systems that result in dry, warm summers and mild, occasionally wet winters.
The average minimum temperature for January ranges from the mid-40s to the high-50s degrees
Fahrenheit (4 to 15 degrees Celsius) across the county. July maximum temperatures average in
the mid-80s to the high-90s degrees Fahrenheit (high-20s to the rugh-30s degrees Celsius). Most
of the county's precipitation falls from November to April, with infrequent (approximately 10
percent) precipitation during the summer. The average seasonal precipitation along the coast is
approximately 10 inches (254 millimeters); the amount increases with elevations as moist air is
lifted over the mountains.
The interaction of ocean, land, and the Pacific High-Pressure Zone maintains clear skies for
much of the year and drives the prevailing winds. Local terrain is often the dominant factor
inland and winds in inland mountainous areas tend to blow upwards in the valleys during the
day and down the hills and valleys at night.
Jn conjunction with the onshore/offshore wind patterns, there are two types of temperature
inversions (reversals of the normaJ decrease of temperature with height), which occur within
the region that affect atmospheric dispersive capability and that act to degrade local air quality.
In the summer, an inversion at about 1,100 to 2,500 feet (335 to 765 meters) is formed over the
entire coastal plain when the warm air mass over land is undercut by a shallow layer of cool
marine air flowing onshore. The prevailing sunny days in this region further exacerbate the
smog problem by inducing additional adverse photochemical reactions. During the winter, a
nightly shallow inversion layer (usually at about 800 feet or 243 meters) forms between the
cooled air at the ground and the warmer air above, which can trap vehicular pollutants. The
days of highest Carbon Monoxide (CO) concentrations occur during the winter months.
The predominant onshore/offshore wind pattern is sometimes interrupted by so-called Santa
Ana conditions, when high pressure over the Nevada-Utah region overcomes the prevailing
westerly wind direction. Thls draws strong, steady, hot, and d ry winds from the east over the
mountains and out to sea. Strong Santa Ana winds tend to blow pollutants out over the ocean,
producing clear days. However, at the onset or breakdown of these conditions or if the Santa

Ana is weak, prevailing northwesterly winds are reestabUshed which send polluted air from the
Los Angeles basin ashore in the SDAB. "Smog transport from the South Coast Air Basin (the
metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties) is a key
factor on more than half the days San Diego exceeds clean air standards" (San Diego Air
Pollution Control District, 2010).
Pollutants
The SDAPCD is required to monitor air pollutant levels to ensure that air quality standards are
met and, if they are not met, to develop strategies to meet the standards. Depending on whether
the standards are met or exceeded, the local air basin is classified as being in "attainment" or
"non-attajrunent." San Diego County is listed as a federal non-attainment area for ozone (eight
hour) and a state non-attainment area for ozone (one hour and eight-hour standards), PM10 and
PM2.s. As shown in Table 2, the SDAB is in attainment for the state and federal standards for
nitrogen d ioxide, carbon monoxjde, sulfur dioxide and lead. Characteristics of ozone, carbon
monoxide, rutrogen dioxjde, and suspended particulates are described below.
Ozone. Ozone is produced by a photochemkal reaction (triggered by sunlight) between
nitrogen oxjdes (NOx) ROG1. Nitrogen oxides are formed during the combustion of fuels, while
reactive organic compounds are formed during combustion and evaporation of organic
solvents. Because ozone requires sunlight to form, it mostly occurs in concentrations considered
serious between the months of April and October. Ozone is a pungent, colorless, toxic gas with
direct health effects on humans including respiratory and eye irritation and possible changes in
lung functions. Groups most sensitive to ozone include children, the elderly, people with
respiratory disorders, and people who exercise strenuously outdoors.
Carbon Monoxide. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a local pollutant that is found in high
concentrations only near the source. The major source of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless,
poisonous gas, is automobile exhaust. Elevated CO concentrations; therefore, are usuaJly only
found near areas of high traffic volumes operating in congested conditions. Carbon monoxide
health effects are related to blood hemoglobin. At high concentrations, carbon monoxide
reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood, causing heart difficulties in people with chronic
diseases, reduced lung capacity and impaired mental abilities.
Nitrogen Dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a by-product of fuel combustion, with the primary
source being motor vehicles and industrial boilers and furnaces. The principal form of nitrogen
oxide produced by combustion is nitric oxide (NO), but NO reacts rapidly to form NO2, creating
the mixture of NO and NO2 commonly called NOx. Nitrogen dioxide is an acute irritant. A
1 Organic compound precursors of ozone are routinely described by a number of variations of three terms: hydrocarbons (HG),
organic gases (OG), and organic compounds (OC). These terms are often modified by adjectives such as total, reactive, or volatile,
and result in a rather confusing array of acronyms: HC, THC (total hydrocarbons), RHC (reactive hydrocarbons), TOG (total organic
gases), ROG (reactive organic gases), TOC (total organic compounds), ROC (reactive organic compounds), and VOC (volatile
organic compounds). While most of these differ in some significant way from a chemical perspective, from an air quality perspective
two groups are important: non-photochemically reactive in the lower atmosphere, or photochemically reactive in the lower
atmosphere (HC, RHC, ROG, ROC, and VOC).

relationship between N02 and chronic pulmonary fibrosis may exist and an increase in
bronchitis in young children at concentrations below 0.3 parts per million (ppm) may occur.
Nitrogen dioxide absorbs blue light and causes a reddish-brown cast to the atmosphere and
reduced visibility. It can also contribute to the formation of PM10 and acid rain.

Suspended Particulates. PM10 is particulate matter measuring no more than 10 microns in
diameter, while PMi.s is fine particulate matter measuring no more than 2.5 microns in
diameter. Suspended particulates are mostly dust particles, nitrates and sulfates. Both PM10 and
PMi.s are by-products of fuel combustion and wind erosion of soil and unpaved roads and are
directly emitted into the atmosphere through these processes. Suspended particulates are also
created in the atmosphere through chemical reactions. The characteristics, sources, and
potential health effects associated with the small particulates (those between 2.5 and 10 microns
in diameter) and fine particulates (PM2.s) can be very different. The small particulates generally
come from windblown dust and dust kicked up from mobile sources. The fine particulates are
generally associated with combustion processes as well as being formed in the atmosphere as a
secondary pollutant through chemical reactions. Fine particulate matter is more likely to
penetrate deeply into the lungs and poses a health threat to all groups, but particularly to the
elderly, children, and those with respiratory problems. More than half of the small and fine
particulate matter that is inhaled into the lungs remains there. These materials can damage
health by interfering with the body's mechanisms for clearing the respiratory tract or by acting
as carriers of an absorbed toxic substance.
Lead. Lead in the atmosphere occurs as particulate matter. Sources of lead include leaded
gasoline; the manufacturing of batteries, pnints, ink, ceramics, and ammunition; and secondary
City of Carlsbad
11

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
lead smelters. Prior to 1978, mobile emissions were the primary source of atmospheric lead.
Between 1978 and 1987, the phaseout of leaded gasoline reduced the overall inventory of
airborne lead by nearly 95%. With the phaseout of leaded gasoline, secondary lead smelters,
battery recycling, and manufacturing facilities are becoming lead-emissions sources of
greater concern. Prolonged exposure to atmospheric lead poses a serious threat to human
health. Health effects associated with exposure to lead include gastrointestinal disturbances,
anemia, kidney disease, and, in severe cases, neuromuscular and neurological dysfunction. Of
particular concern are low-level lead exposures during infancy an.d childhood. Such exposures
are associated with decrements in neurobehavioral performance, including .intelligence quotient
performance, psychomotor performance, reaction time, and growth. Children are highly
susceptible to the effects of lead.
Sulfates. Sulfates are the fully oxidized form of sulfur, which typically occur in combination
with metals or hydrogen ions. Sulfates are produced from reactions of S02 in the atmosphere.
Sulfates can result in respiratory impairment, as well as reduced visibilHy.
Vinyl Chloride. Vinyl chloride is a colorless gas with a mild, sweet odor, which has been
detected near landfills, sewage plants, and hazardous waste sites, due to the microbial
breakdown of chlorinated solvents. Short-term exposure to high levels of vinyl chloride in air
can cause nervous system effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headaches. Long-term
exposure through inhalation can cause liver damage, including liver cancer.
Hydrogen Sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless and flammable gas that has a characteristic
odor of rotten eggs. Sources of hydrogen sulfide include geothermal power plants, petroleum
refineries, sewers, and sewage treatment plants. Exposure to hydrogen sulfide can result in
nuisance odors, as well as headaches and breathing difficulties at higher concentrations.
Visibility-Reducing Particles. Visibility-reducing particles are any particles in the air that
obstruct the range of visibility. Effects of reduced visibility can include obscuring the viewshed
of natural scenery, reducing airport safety, and discouraging tourism. Sources of visibility-
reducing particles are the same as for PM2.5 described above.
Toxic Air Contaminants/Diesel Particulate Matter. Hazardous air pollutants, also known as
T ACs or air toxics, are those pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other
serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental
effects. Examples of toxic air pollutants include:
1. benzene, which is found in gasoline;
2. perchloroethylene, which is emitted from some dry-cleaning facilities; and
3. methylene chloride, which is used as a solvent.
Transportation related emissions are focused on particulate matter constituents within diesel
exhaust and TAC constituents that comprise a portion of total organic gas (TOG) emissions
from both diesel and gasoline fueled vehicles. Diesel engine emissions are comprised of exhaust

particulate matter and TOGs which are collectively defined as Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM).
OPM and TOG emissions from both djesel and gasoline fueled vehicles is typically composed of
carbon particles and carcinogenic substances including polycyclic aromatic (i.e., odorous)
hydrocarbons, benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and 1,3-butadiene. Diesel
exhaust also contains gaseous pollutants, including volatile organic compounds and NOx.
Sensitive Receptors
Land uses considered to be sensitive receptors include residential, school, childcare centers,
acute care hospitals, and long-term health care facilities. Sensitive receptors are determjned
based upon special factors which may include the age of the users or occupants, the frequency
and duration of the use or occupancy, continued exposure to hazardous substances as defined
by federal and state regulations, and the user's ability to evacuate a specific site in the event of a
hazardous incident. Ambient air quality standards have been established to represent the levels
of air quality considered sufficient, with an adequate margin of safety, to protect public health
and welfare. They are designed to protect that segment of the public most susceptible to
respiratory distress, such as children; the elderly; persons engaged in strenuous work or
exercise and people with cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases. Recreational uses can
be considered moderately sensitive to air pollution. Exercise can place a high demand on
respiratory functions, which can be impaired by air pollution even though exposure periods
during exercise are generally short. Residential uses are considered most sensitive to air
pollution while lndustrial and commercial areas are considered the least sensitive to air
pollution. Exposure periods are relatively short and intermittent, as the majority of the workers
tend to stay indoors most of the time. The closest receivers are single-and multifamjly
residences located on the east side of Tyler Street across from the site.
Monitored Air Quality
The SDAPCD monitors air quality conditions at locations throughout the SDAB. For this
analysis, data from the Camp Pendleton monitoring station north of the site were used to
characterize existing ozone and PM2.sconditions in the vicinity of the project site. A summary of
PM10 data recorded at the 533 First Street El Cajon monitoring station is presented in Table 3.
AIR QUALITY IMPACT ANALYSIS
Methodology and Significance Thresholds
Air quality modeling was performed in general accordance with the methodologies outlined in
the SDAPCD 2016 RAQS to identify both construction and operational emissions associated
with each phase and the cumulative total of all project phases at build out. All emissions were
calculated using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) software version 2022.l
which incorporates current air emission data, planning methods and protocol approved by
CARB.

Construction activities would include removal of the existing residences and out buildings, site
clearing and grading to install the buildng foundation and utility connections; construction of
the building and related improvements as well as painting the interior and exterior building
surfaces and minor pavement work for the entrance/exit. Construction activities would require
the use of equipment that would generate criteria air pollutant emissions. For modeling
purposes, it was assumed that all construction equipment used would be diesel-powered.
Construction emissions associated with development of the proposed project were quantified
by estimating the types of equipment, including the number of individual pieces of equipment,

that would be used on-site during each of the construction phases as well as off-site haul trips to
remove demolition debris. Construction emissions are analyzed using the regional thresholds
established by the SDAPCD and published under Rule 20-2. No soil import/export would be
required.
Operational emissions include mobile source emissions, energy emissions, and area source
emissions. Mobile source emissions are generated by motor vehicle trips associated with
operation of the project. Emissions attributed to energy use include electricity and natural gas
consumption for space and water heating. Area source emissions are generated by landscape
maintenance equipment, consumer products and architectural coatings (i.e., paints). To
determine whether a regional air quality impact would occur, the increase in emissions are
compared with the SDAPCD recommended regional thresholds for operational emissions.
Regional Thresholds. Based on Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines (2022), a project would have
a significant air quality impact if it would:
a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan;
b. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is in non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air
qualitlJ standard;
c. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations;
d. Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial
number of people.
Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR 15000 et seq.) indicates that, where available, the
significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management district or pollution
control district may be relied upon to determine whether the project would have a significant
impact on air quality. As part of its air quality permitting process, SDAPCD has established
thresholds in Rule 20.2 requiring the preparation of Air Quality Impact Assessments for
permitted stationary sources. SDAPCD establishes quantitative emission thresholds for
stationary sources. Although these trigger levels do not generally apply to mobile sources or
general land development projects, for comparative purposes these levels may be used to
evaluate the increased emissions that would be emitted into the SDAB from proposed land
development projects. Project-related air quality impacts estimated i11 this environmental
analysis would be considered significant if any of the applicable significance thresholds
presented below in Table 4 are exceeded.
The thresholds listed in Table 4 are screening-level thresholds used to evaluate whether
proposed-project-related emissions could cause a significant impact to air quality. Emissions
below the screening-level thresholds would not cause a significant impact. The emissions-based
thresholds for ozone precursors (ROG and NOx) are intended to serve as the threshold for
ozone. This approach is used because ozone is not emitted directly; thus, ozone concentrations

associated with individual projects precursor (ROG and NOx) emissions cannot be determined
through air quality models or other quantitative methods. For nonattainment pollutants, if
emissions exceed the thresholds shown in Table 4, the project has the potential to result in a
cumulatively considerable net increase in these pollutan ts; and thus, could have a significant
impact on the ambient air quality.
With respect to odors, SDAPCD Rule 51 (Public Nuisance) prohibits emission of any material
that causes nuisance to a considerable number of persons or endangers the comfort, health, or
safety of any person. A project that involves a use that would produce objectionable odors
would be deemed to have a significant odor impact .if it would affect a considerable number of
off-site receptors.
a. Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air
quality plan?
As stated, under state law, the SDAPCD is required to prepare an AQMP for pollutants fo r
wh.ich the SDAB is designated non-attainment. Each iteration of the SDAPCD's AQMP is an
update of the previous plan and has a 20-year horizon. A project may be deemed inconsistent
with the AQMP if it would generate population, housing, or employment growth exceeding
forecasts used in the development of the AQMP. Currently the SDAPCD has implemented the
2020 Plan for Attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Ozone in San Diego County
(October 2020) and a 2004 Carbon Monoxide Plan. The AQMP incorporates local city General
Plans and the San Diego Association of Governments socioeconomic forecast projections of
regional population, housing and employment growth.

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
The proposed project involves the construction of 12 three-story units with.in four triplex
buildings. The site is 0.53 acres in size with General Plan designation of Village and zoning
designation of Village Barrio (VB). The site is within the Pine-Tyler Mixed Use area as defined
in the 2019 Village Barrio Master Plan. The Pine-Tyler Mixed-Use District is a distinct area of
transition between the more compact Village Center District and established multi-and single-
family neighborhoods in the Barrio. The district contains residential, commercial, and office
uses. On the west side of Tyler Street, these uses mix with light industrial uses. The industrial
nature and mix of exjsting bwJdings provides opportunity for redevelopment of uses including
incubator and/or start-up businesses and live/work units.
According to the 2021-2029 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) 6th cycle, the City of
Carlsbad will need to accommodate a total of 3,873 units at varying income levels (City of
Carlsbad, April 2022). Of the total, 1,778 units are allocated to the moderate and above
moderate-income categories. The project would provide five ttnits or less than one percent of
Carlsbad's housing allocation within the 2021-2029 RHNA.
The San Diego APCD and San Diego Association of Governments are responsible for
developing and implementing the clean air plans for attainment and maintenance of the
ambient air quality standards in the basin-specifically, the SIP and RAQS. The federal 03
maintenance plan, whlch is part of the SIP, was adopted in 2012. The most recent 03 attainment
plan was adopted in 2020. The SIP includes a demonstration that current strategies and tactics
will maintain acceptable air quality in the basin based on the NAAQS. The RAQS was initially
adopted in 1991 and is updated on a triennial basis (most recently in 2016). The RAQS outlines
SDAPCD's plans and control measures designed to attain the state air quality standards for 03.
The SIP and RAQS rely on information from CARB and SAND AG, including mobile and area
source emissions as well as information regarding projected growth in the County and the cities
in the County, to project future emissions and determine the strategies necessary for the
reduction of emissions through regulatory controls.
CARB mobile source emission projections and SAND AG growth projections are based on
population, vehicle trends and land use plans developed by the County and the cities in the
County as part of the General Plan development process. If a project proposes development that
is greater than that anticipated in the local plan and SANDA G's growth projections, the project
might be in conflict with the SIP and RAQS and may contribute to a potentially significant
cumulative impact on air quality.
As stated, the Pine-Tyler Mixed Use area is intended to support multifamily and other uses.
Thus, the project is consistent with City's General Plan the land use designation/zoning; and
therefore, has been factored into SANDAG's growth projections. Furthermore, the estimated
increase in population, employment and housing generated by the project was compared to
SANDAG's Regional Plan population, employee population, and housing estimates including
the years 2025 and 2035. The number of housing units in the City was projected to be 49,299 in
2025 and 51,552 in 2035, or an increase in 2,253 housing units over the IO-year period.
City or Carlsbad

Furthermore, the City's population was projected to be 118,068 residents in 2025 and 118,719
residents in 2035, or increase of 651 residents over the period as shown in the SAND AG Series
14 Regional Forecast and Baseline Subregional Allocation. The average househotd size is 2.82 people
per dwelling unit. The project would construct 12 dwelling units, which would have the
potential to house approximately 34 residents. Both the units and population are within the
growth projections. Because the project is consistent with the General Plan; and thus,
SANDA G's growth projections, project emissions would not conflict with the SIP and RAQS.
The project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the AQMP. Impacts would be
less than significant.
b. Would tlie project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
po1lutant for wlticli the project region is in non-attainment under a11 applicable federal
or state ambient air qualihJ standard?
Construction Emissions
Project construction would generate temporary air pollutant emissions. These impacts are
associated with fugitive dust (PM,o and PM2.s) and exhaust emissions from heavy construction
vehicles, work crew vehicle trips in addition to ROG that would be released during the drying
phase upon application of paint and other architectural coatings. Construction would generally
consist of demolition (i.e., removal of the temporary buildings), site preparation
(clearing/grubbing), excavation/grading, construction of the proposed buildings, architectural
coating (i.e., paint) application and paving.
Emissions from the construction phase of the project were estimated using CalEEMod 2022.l.
Construction scenario assumptions, including phasing, equipment mix, and vehicle trips, were
based on information provided by the project applicant and CalEEMod default values when
project specifics were not known.
For purposes of estimating project emissions, it is assumed that construction of the project
would occur five days per week and commence in January 2025 and would be completed in late
2025. The schedule is an estimate calculated by CalEEMod 2022.1. The duration of phases are
approximated:
• Demolition: 2 weeks
• Site Prepartion: 1 week
• Grading: 1 week
• Building Construction: 20 weeks
• Paving: 1 week
• Architectural Coating: 7 weeks
Construction-worker and vendor trips estimates by construction phase were based on
CalEEMod default data. Mass grading would include the entire project site. Approximately 10

total trips would be required to remove demolition material. No fill import is anticipated
during the site preparation or grading phases. CalEEMod default trip length values were used
for the distances for all construction-related trips. Defaults for the construction equipment mix
and vehicle trips used for estimating the project-generated constmction emissions were used
and are provided in Appendix A.
As discussed, the project would implement dust control strategies as a project design feature.
To reflect implementation of proposed dust control strategies, the following was used in
CalEEMod:
• Water exposed area two times per day (55% reduction in PMlO and PM2.5); and
• Limit equipoment idling to 5 minutes.
Daily construction emissions are shown in Table 5.

thresholds. With SDAPCD Rule 55 compliance, federal, state and local construction emission
thresholds would be met. Construction emissions would not result in a cumulatively
considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non-
attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. impacts will be
less than significant.
Operational Impacts
Emissions from the operational phase of the project were estimated using Ca.lEEMod version
2022.l. Operational year 2025 was assumed consistent with completion of project construction.
Area Sources. CalEEMod was used to estimate operational emissions from area sources,
including emissions from consumer product use, architectural coatings, and landscape
maintenance equipment. Emissions associated with space heating and water heating are
calculated in the building energy use module of CaJEEMod.
City of Carlsbad
19
3215-3225 Tyler Street Residential Project
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
Consumer products are chemically formulated products used by household and institutional
consumers, including detergents; cleaning compow1ds; polishes; floor finishes; cosmetics;
personal care products; home, lawn, and garden products; disinfectants; sanitizers; aerosol
paints; and automotive specialty products. Other paint products, furniture coatings, or
architectural coatings are not considered consumer products. Consumer product VOC
emissions are estimated in CalEEMod based on the floor area of buildings and on the default
factor of pounds of VOC per building square foot per day. The CalEEMod default values for
consumer products were used.
VOC off-gassing emissions result from evaporation of solvents contained in surface coatings
sucl1 as paints and primers used during building maintenance. CalEEMod calculates the VOC
evaporative emissions from application of surface coatings based on the VOC emission factor,
the building square footage, the assumed fraction of surface area, and the reapplication rate.
VOC emissions were estimated based on compliance with SDAPCD Rule 67.0.1 which lin1its the
VOC concentrations of various coatings sold and used in San Diego County. RuJe 67.0.1, Table
1, lists numeous types of coatings and the allowable VOC concentrations in grams/litre
(g/L).The three general coating categories are 50 grams per liter (g/L) VOC for flat coatings, 100
g/L VOC for non-flat coatings and 150 g/L VOC for non-flat high gloss coatings. Consistent with
typical construction practices, it is anticipated that interior and exterior paint would not exceed
non-flat coating limits, exterior paint would not exceed non-flat coating limits and a small
portion of exterior paint and finishes (trim and other minor finishes) would not exceed non-flat
high-gloss coatings limits. The interior and exterior coatings were estimated to have 50 g/L VOC
while the traffic marking coatings were estimated to be limited to 100 g/L VOC. The default
values in CalEEMod 2022.1 rely on compliance with SDAPCD Rule 67.0.1 referenced above.
Energy Sources. Energy sources include emissions associated with building electricity and
natural gas use. Electricity use would contribute indirectly to criteria air pollutant emissions;
however, the emissions from electricity use are only quantified for GHGs in CalEEMod, since
criteria pollutant emissions occur at the site of the power plant, whicl1 is typically off site.
The project will install Energy Star, or equivalent, dishwashers, clothes washers, refrigerators,
and fans; bicycle parking facilities and electric vehjcle charging stations to decrease overall
energy demand.
Mobile Sources. CalEEMod default data, including trip characteristics, trip lengths, variable
start information and emissions factors were used for the model inputs. Project-related traffic
includes the mixture of vehicles consistent with CalEEMod default vehicle fleet assumptions.
Emission factors for 2025 (the first fulJ year of project operation) were used to estimate
emissions associated with full build out of the project. Trip data used are 7.3 daily trips per
multifamily unit. Based on proximity to transit, these data likely provide a conservative
estimate of daily trips.

Table 6 summarizes area, energy and mobile source emissions associated with operation
of the proposed project. As shown in Table 6, daily emissions would not exceed the
SDAPCD thresholds for ROG, NOx, CO, SOx, PM10 or PMis. Therefore, the project's air
quality emissions(including impacts related to criteria pollutants, sensitive receptors and
violations of air quality standards) would not result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non-attainment under
an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. Impacts will be less than
significant.
c. Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant co11centratio11s?
Construction-Related Toxic Air Contaminant Impacts
Certain construction projects can create the potential for toxic air contaminant emissions related
to diesel particulate emissions associated with heavy equipment operatfons during
construction. According to South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)
methodology, health effects from carcinogenic air toxics are usually described in terms of
"individual cancer risk''. A cancer risk greater than 10 cases per 1,000,000 people exposed
would be considered a significant impact. The California Office of Environmental Health
Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) health risk guidance states that a residential receptor should be
evaluated based on a 30-year exposure period. "Individual Cancer Risk" is the likelihood that a
person exposed to concentrations of toxic air contaminants over a 70-year lifetime will contract
cancer, based on the use of standard risk-assessment methodology. The estimated construction
schedule duration would be approximately 12 months; however, only a portion of the overall
City of Carlsbad
21
3215-3225 Tyler Street Residential Project
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
construction work would require the use of diesel-powered equipment. The proposed project
would not result in a Jong-term (i.e., 30 or 70 year) exposure to a substantial source of toxic air
contamjnant emissions; and thus, neighboring residents would not be exposed to the related
individual cancer risk. Further, existing and planned land use within the project area is focused
on residential and supporting commercial uses. Thus, existing and future residents would not
be exposed to neighboring development that generates TACs. Therefore, the project would not
expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations of TA Cs. Impacts would be less than
signficant.
Carbon Monoxide Hotspots
As discussed, carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas that may be found in
high concentrations near areas of high traffic volumes. CO emissions are a function of vehicle
idling time, meteorological conditions, and traffic flow. The SDAB is in attainment of state and
federal CO standards; thus, CO data is no longer collected and not all monitoring stations have
CO data available. The East Valley monitoring station in Escondido is the closest monitoring
station to the site that collected CO data. The maximum 8-hour average CO level recorded in
2015, was 2.0 parts per million (ppm). Concentrations at that time were below the 9-ppm state
and federal 8-hour standard.
Numerous factors are related to the formation of CO hotspots. The potential for CO hotspots in
the SDAB is steadily decreasing because of the continued improvement in vehicular emissions
at a rate faster than the rate of vehicle growth and/or congestion and the already very low
ambient CO concentrations. Furthermore, CO transport is extremely limited and disperses
rapidly with distance from the source. Under certain extreme meteorological conditions,
however, CO concentrations near a congested roadway or intersection may reach unhealthy
levels.
Typically, high CO concentrations are associated with roadways or intersections operating
under congested conditions. Projects contributing to adverse traffic conditions may contribute
to the formation of CO hotspots. Because the City of Carlsbad does not have CO hotspot
guidance, the guidance recommended by the County of San Diego was applied to evaluate the
potential for CO hotspots to occur as a result of the project. As indicated in the County of San
Diego Guidelines for Determining Significance and Report Format and Content Requirements
Air Quality (County of San Diego 2007), a site-specific CO hotspot analysis should be
performed if a proposed devel.opment would cause road intersections to operate at or below a
LOS E with intersection peak-hour trips exceeding 3,000.
The proposed project screened out of preparation of a traffic study per the Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT) Analysis Guidelines (May 2023); thus, it is not expected to advsersly impact
traffic volumes or traffic operation proximal to the site or otherwise result in CO hot spots that
could expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Impacts would be less
than significant.

3215-3225 Tyler Street Residential Project
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
Indoor Air Quality
CARB has stated that the control measures it has approved for reducing indoor emissions
associated with the use of composite wood products, including formaldehyde, provides a level
of control that protects health and safety. The first emission standards (Phase 1) went into effect
in 2009 and more stringent Phase 2 standards are now in effect for all composite wood panels
and finished goods sold in California. CARB regulations include provisions for no-added
formaldehyde and ultra-low emitting formaldehyde-based resins, to encourage the use of these
lower-emitting resins in composite wood products. Further, the project would be constructed
using the most current ventilation requirements found in the Title 24 standards, including the
requirement that new developments use MERV 13 or higher air filters and include mandatory
compliance with the stringent CARB Phase 2 emission standards. TI1us, the use of composite
wood project will have no adverse impact on indoor air qualjty.
d. Would the project result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely
affecting a substantial number of people?
TI1e State of California Health and Safety Code, Division 26, Part 4, Chapter 3, Section 41700,
SDAPCD Rule 51, and City of Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 6.16.010, commonly referred to
as public nuisance law, prohibits emissions from any source whatsoever in such quantities of air
contaminants or other material tl1at cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to the
public healtl1 or damage to property. Projects required to obtain permits from SDAPCD are
evaluated by SDAPCD staff for potential odor nuisance, and conditions may be applied (or
control equipment required) where necessary to prevent occurrence of public nuisance.
SDAPCD Rule 51 also prohibits emission of any material that causes nuisance to a considerable
number of persons or endangers the comfort, health, or safety of any person. A project that
involves a use that would produce objectionable odors would be deemed to have a significant
odor impact if it would affect a considerable number of off-site receptors. Odor issues are
subjective by tl1e nature of odors themselves and due to the fact that their measurements are
difficult to quantify. As a result, this guideline is qualitative and will focus on tl1e existing and
potential surrounding uses and location of sensitive receptors.
The occurrence and severity of potential odor impacts depends on numerous factors. The
nature, frequency, and intensity of the source; the wind speeds and direction; and the sensitivity
of receiving location each contribute to the intensity of the impact. Although offensive odors
seldom cause physical harm, they can be annoying and cause distress among the public and
generate citizen complaints. Odors would be potentially generated from vehicles and
equipment exhaust emissions during construction of the project. Potential odors produced
during construction would be attributable to exhaust emissions, architectural coatings, and
asphalt pavement application. Such odors would disperse rapidly from the project site and
generally occur at magnitudes that would not affect substantial numbers of people. Therefore,
project construction activities would not result in other emissions (such as those leading to
odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people. Impacts would be less tl1an
significant.
City of Carlsbad
23
3215-3225 Tyler Street Residential Project
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
Land uses that typically are associated with odor complaints indude agricultural uses,
wastewater treatment plants, food processing plants, chemical plants, industrial activities,
composting, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass molding facilities. The project would
constmct and operate 12 new multifamily units and related infrastmcture improvements. As
the project would not include land uses that typically result in emissions (such as those leading
to odors) that adversely affect a substantial number of people, impacts would be less than
significant.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION DISCUSSION
Gases that absorb and re-emit infrared radiation in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases
(GHGs). GHGs are present in the atmosphere naturally, are released by natural sources, or are
formed from secondary reactions taking place in the atmosphere. The gases that are widely seen as
the principal contributors to human-induced climate change include carbon dioxide (CO2),
methane (CH4), nitrous oxides (N:D), fluorinated gases such as hyd rofluorocarbons (HFCs) and
perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). Water vapor is excluded from the list of
GHGs because it is short-lived in the atmosphere and its atmospheric concentrations are largely
determined by natural processes, such as oceanic evaporation.
GHGs are emitted by both natural processes and human activities. Of these gases, CO2 and CH4 are
emitted in the greatest quantities from human activities. Emissions of CO2 are largely by-products
of fossil fuel combustion, whereas CH4 results from off-gassing associated with agricultural
practices and landfills. Man-made GHGs, many of which have greater heat-absorption potential
than CO2, include fluorinated gases and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) (California Environmental
Protection Agency [CalEPA], 2006). Different types of GHGs have varying global warming
potentials (GWPs). The GWP of a GHG is the potential of a gas or aerosol to trap heat in the
atmosphere over a specified timescale (generally, 100 years). Because GHGs absorb different
amounts of heat, a common reference gas (CO2) is used to relate the amount of heat absorbed to the
amount of the gas emissions, referred to as "carbon dioxide equivalent" (CO2E), and is the amount
of a CHG emitted multiplied by its GWP. Carbon dioxide has a GWP of one. By contrast, methane
(CH4) has a GWP of 28, meaning its global warming effect is 28 times greater than carbon dioxide
on a molecule per molecule basis (IPCC, 2014).
The largest source of GHG in California is transportation, contributing 39.9 percent of the state's
total GHG emissions. The industrial sector is the second largest source, contributing 21 percent of
the state's GHG emissions. California emissions result in part to its geographic size and large
population compared to other states. However, a factor that reduces California's per capita fuel use
and CHG emissions, as compared to other states, is its relatively mild climate. 1n July 2017,
California's state legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 398 to reauthorize and extend until 2030
the state's economy-wide GHG reduction program. California has established a CHG target of
at least 40% below the 1990 level of emissions by 2030.

California Regulations
In 2005, former Governor Schwarzenegger issued Executive Order (EO) S-3~05, establishing
statewide GHG emissions reduction targets. EO S-3-05 states that by 2020, emissions shull be
reduced to 1990 levels; and by 2050, emissions shall be reduced to 80 percent of 1990 levels
(CalEPA, 2006). In response to EO S-3-05, CalEPA created the Climate Action Team (CAT),
which in March 2006 published the Climate Action Team Report (the "2006 CAT Report")
(CalEP A, 2006 ). The 2006 CAT Report recommended various strategies that the state could
pursue to reduce GHG emissions. These strategies could be implemented by various state
agencies to ensure that the emission reduction targets in EO S-3-05 are met and can be met with
existing authority of the state agencies. The strategies include the reduction of passenger and
light duty truck emissions, the reduction of idling times for diesel trucks, an overhaul of
shipping technology/infrastructure, increased use of alternative fuels, increased recycling, and
landfill methane capture.
Assembly Bill 32 and CARB's Scoping Plan
To further the goals established in EO S-3-05, the Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the
California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. AB 32 requires California to reduce its GHG
emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Under AB 32, CARB is responsible for and is recognized as
having the expertise to carry out and develop the programs and requirements necessary to
achieve the GHG emissions reduction mandate of AB 32. Under AB 32, CARB must adopt
regulations requiring the reporting and verification of statewide GHG emissions from specified
sources. This program is used to monitor and enforce compliance with established standards.
CARB also is required to adopt rules and regulations to achieve the maximum technologically
feasible and cost-effective GHG emfasion reductions. AB 32 authorized CARB to adopt market-
based compliance mechanisms to meet the specified requirements. Finally, CARB is responsible
fo r monitoring compliance and enforcing any rule, regulation, order, emission limitation,
emission reduction measure, or market-based compliance mechanism adopted.
In 2007, CARB approved a limit on the statewide GHG emissions level for year 2020 consistent
with the determined 1990 baseline (427 MMT CO2E). CARB's adoption of this limit is in
accordance with Health and Safety Code, Secti.on 38550.
Further, in 2008, CARB adopted the Scoping Plan in accordance with Health and Safety Code
Section 38561. The Scoping Plan establishes an overall framework for the measures that will be
adopted to reduce California's GHG emissions for various emission sources/sectors to 1990
levels by 2020. The Scoping Plan evaluates opportunities fo r sector-specific reductions,
integrates all CARB and Climate Action Team early actions and additional GHG reduction
features by both entities, identifies additional measures to be pursued as regulations, and
outlines the role of a cap-and-trade program. The key elements of the Scoping Plan include the
fo llowing (CARB 2008):
l. Expanding and strengthening existing energy efficiency programs, as well as building
and appliance standards;
2. Achieving a statewide renewable energy mix of 33%;
City of Carlsbad
25
3215-3225 Tyler Street Residential Project

3. Developing a Californfa cap-and-trade program that links with other Western Climate
Initiative partner programs to create a regional market system and caps sources
contributing 85% of California's GHG emissions;
4. Establishing targets for transportation-related. GHG emissions for regions throughout
California, and pursuing policies and incentives to achieve those targets;
5. Adopting and implementing measures pursuant to existing state laws and policies,
including California's clean car standards, goods movement measures, and the Low
Carbon Fuel Standard; and
6. Creating targeted fees, including a public goods charge on water use, fees on high GWP
gases, and a fee to fund the administrntive costs of the State of California's long-term
commitment to AB 32 implementation.
In the Scoping Plan (CARB 2008), CARB determined that achieving the 1990 emissions level in
2020 would require a reduction in GHG emissions of approximately 28.5% from the otherwise
projected 2020 emissions level (i.e., those emissions that would occur in 2020) absent GHG
reducing laws and regulations (referred to as Business-As-Usual (BAU)). To calculate this
percentage reduction, CARB assumed that all new electricity generation would be supplied by
natural gas plants, no fmther regulatory action would impact vehicle fuel efficiency, and
building energy efficiency codes would be held at 2005 standards.
ln the 2011 Final Supplement to the AB 32 Scoping Plan Functional Equivalent Document
(CARB 201 la), CARB revised its estimates of the projected 2020 emissions level in light of the
economic recession and the availability of updated information about GHG reduction
regulations. Based on the new data, CARB determined that achieving the 1990 emissions level
by 2020 would require a reduction in GHG emissions of 21.7% (down from 28.5%) from the
BAU conditions. When the 2020 emissions level projection was updated to account for newly
implemented regulatory measures, including Pavley I (model years 2009-2016) and the
Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) (12% to 20%), CARB determined that achieving the 1990
emissions level in 2020 would require a reduction in GHG emissions of 16% (down from 28.5%)
from the BAU conditions.
In 2014, CARB adopted the First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan: Building on the
Framework (First Update; CARB 2014). The stated purpose of the First Update is to "highlight
California's success to date in reducing its GHG emissions and lay the foundation for
establishing a broad framework for continued emission reductions beyond 2020, on the path to
80% below 1990 levels by 2050" (CARB 2014). The First Update fou nd that California is on track
to meet the 2020 emissions reduction mandate established by AB 32 and noted that California
could reduce emissions further by 2030 to levels needed to stay on track to reduce emissions to
80% below 1990 levels by 2050 if the state realizes the expected benefits of existing policy goals.
In conjunction with the First Update, CARB identified "six key focus areas comprising major
components of the state's economy to evaluate and describe the larger transformative actions
that will be needed to meet the state's more expansive emission reduction needs by 2050"
(CARB 2014). Those six areas are (1) energy, (2) transportation (vehicles/equipment, sustainable

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
communities, housing, fue ls, and infrastructure), (3) agriculture, (4) water, (5) waste
management, and (6) natural and working lands. The First Update identifies key recommended
actions for each sector that will facilitate achievement of EO S-3-05's 2050 reduction goal (CARB
2014).
Based on CARB's research efforts presented in the First Update, it has a "strong sense of the mix
of ted,nologies needed to reduce emissions through 2050" (CARB 2014). Those technologies
include energy demand reduction through efficiency and activity changes; large-scale
electrification of on-road vehicles, buildings, and industrial machinery; decaxbonizing electricity
and fuel supplies; and the rapid market penetration of efficient and clean energy technologies.
As part of the First Update, CARB recalculated the state's 1990 emissions level using more
recent GWPs identified by the IPCC. Using the recalculated 1990 emissions level (431 MMT
CO2E) and the revised 2020-emissions-level projection identified in the 2011 Final
Supplement, CARB determined that achieving the 1990 emissions level by 2020 would require a
reduction in GHG emissions of approximately 15% (instead of 28.5% or 16%) from the BAU
conditions (CARB 2014).
In January 2017, CARB released, The 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan Update (Second
Update; CARB 2017b), for public review and comment. This update proposes CARB's strategy
for ad1.ieving the state's 2030 GHG target as established in Senate Bill (SB) 32 (discussed below),
including continuing the Cap-and-Trade Program through 2030, and includes a new approach
to reduce GHGs from refineries by 20%. The Second Update incorporates approaches to cutting
short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) under the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction
Strategy (a planning document that was adopted by CARB in March 2017), acknowledges the
need for reducing emissions in agriculture, and highlights the work underway to ensure that
California's natural and workLng lands increasingly sequester carbon. During development of
the Second Update, CARB held a number of public workshops in the Natural and Working
Lands, Agriculture, Energy, and Transportation sectors to inform development of the 2030
Scoping Plan Update (CARS 2016). The Second Update has not been considered by CARB's
Governing Board at the time this analysis was prepared.
Executive Order S-01-07 was enacted on January 18, 2007. The order mandates that a Low Carbon
Fuel Standard ("LCFS") for transportation fuels be established for Califomia to reduce the carbon
intensity of California's transportation fuels by at least 10 percent by 2020.
Other regulations affecting state and local GHG planning and policy development are summarized
as follows:
Assembly Bill 939 and Senate Bill 1374
Assembly Bill 939 (AB 939) requires that each jurisdiction in California to divert at least 50
percent of its waste away from landfills, whether through waste reduction, recycling or other
means. Senate Bill 1374 (SB 1374) requires the California Integrated Waste Management Board
to adopt a model ordinance by March 1, 2004 suitable for adoption by any local agency to
require 50 to 75 percent diversion of construction and demolition of waste materials from

landfills.
Senate Bill 1368
SB 1368 required the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to establish a performance
standard for baseload generation of GHG emissions by investor-owned utilities by February 1,
2007 and for local publicly owned utilities by June 30, 2007. These standa1·ds could not exceed
the GHG emissions rate from a baseload combined-cycle, natural gas-fired plant. Furthermore,
the legislation states that all electricity provided to the State, including imported electricity,
must be generated by plants that meet the standards set by CPUC and California Energy
Commission (CEC).
Senate Bill 97
Senate Bill 97 (SB 97) was adopted August 2007 and acknowledges that climate change is an
environmental issue that requires analysis under CEQA. SB 97 directed the Governor's Office of
Planning and Research (OPR), which is part of the State Natural Resources Agency, to prepare,
develop, and transmit to CARB guidelines for the feasible mitigation of GHG emissions or the
effects of GHG emissions, as required by CEQA, by July 1, 2009. The Natural Resources Agency
was required to certify and adopt those guidelines by January 1, 2010. On December 30, 2009 the
Natural Resources Agency adopted amendments to the CEQA guidelines that address GHG
emissions. The CEQA Guidelines Amendments changed sections of the CEQA Guidelines and
incorporated GHG language throughout the Guidelines. However, no GHG emissions
thresholds of significance were provided and no specific mitigation measures were iden tified.
The GHG emission reduction amendments went into effect on March 18, 2010 and are
summarized below:
1. Climate action plans and other greenhouse gas reduction plans can be used to determine
whether a project has significant impacts, based upon its compliance with the plan.
2. Local governments are encouraged to quantify the greenhouse gas emissions of
proposed projects, noting that they have the freedom to select the models and
methodologies that best meet their needs and circumstances. The section also
recommends consideration of several qualitative factors that may be used in the
determination of significance, such as the extent to which the given project comp)jes
with state, regional, or local GHG reduction plans and policies. QPR does not set or
dictate specific thresholds of significance. Consistent with existing CEQA Guidelines,
OPR encourages local governments to develop and publish their own thresholds of
significance for GHG impacts assessment.
3. When creating their own thresholds of significance, local governments may consider the
thresholds of significance adopted or recommended by other public agencies, or
recommended by experts.
4. New amendments include guidelines for determining methods to mitigate the effects of
greenhouse gas emissions in Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines.

5. OPR is clear to state that "to qualify as mitigation, specific measures from an existing
plan must be identified and incorporated into the project; general compliance with a
plan, by itself, is not mitigation."
6. OPR's emphasizes the advantages of analyzing GHG impacts on an institutional,
programmatic level. OPR therefore approves tiering of environmental analyses and
highlights some benefits of such an approad,.
7. Environmental impact reports (EIRs) must specifically consider a project's energy use
and energy efficiency potential.
Senate Bills 1078, 107, and Xl-2 and Executive Orders S-14-08 and S-21-09
Senate Bill 1078 (SB 1078) requires retail sellers of electricity, including investor-owned utilities
and community choice aggregators, to provide at least 20 percent of their supply from
renewable sources by 2017. Senate Bill 107 (SB 107) changed the target date to 2010. Executive
Order S-14-08 was signed on November 2008 and expands the State's Renewable Energy
Standard to 33 percent renewable energy by 2020. Executive Order S-21-09 directed CA RB to
adopt regulations by July 31, 2010 to enforce S-14-08. Senate Bill Xl-2 codifies the 33 percent
renewable energy requirement by 2020.
California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24, Part 6
CCR Title 24, Part 6: Cali fornia's Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and
Nonresidential Buildings (Title 24) were first established in 1978 in response to a legislative
mandate to reduce California's energy consumption. The standards are updated periodically to
allow consideration and possible incorporation of new energy efficiency technologies and
methods. Although it was not originally intended to reduce GHG emissions, electricity
production by fossil fuels results in GHG emissions and energy efficient buildings require less
electricity. Therefore, increased energy efficiency results in decreased GHG emissions.
The 2022 Title 24 standards are the currently applicable building energy efficiency standards,
and became effective on January 1, 2023. The 2022 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards
will further reduce energy used and associated GHG emissions compared to prior standards.
On August 11, 2021, the CEC adopted the 2022 Energy Code. In December 2021, it was
approved by tl1e California Building Standards Commission for inclusion into the California
Building Standards Code. The 2022 Energy Code encourages efficient electric heat pumps,
establishes electric-ready requirements for new homes, expands solar photovoltaic and battery
storage standards, strengthens ventilation standards, and more. Buildings whose permit
applications are applied for on or after January 1, 2023, must comply with the 2022 Energy
Code.
Se11ate Bill 375
SB 375 (2008) addresses GHG emissions associated witl, the transportation sector through
regional transportation and sustainability plans. SB 375 required CARB to adopt regional GHG

reduction targets for the automobile and light-truck sector for 2020 and 2035. Regional
metropolitan plannjng organizations are then responsible for preparing a Sustainable
Communities Strategy (SCS) within their Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). TI1e goaJ of the
SCS is to establish a forecasted development pattern for the region that, after considering
transportation measures and policies, will achieve, if feasible, the CHG reduction targets. Jf an
SCS is unable to achieve the GHG reduction target, a metropolitan planning organization must
prepare an Alternative Planning Strategy demonstrating how the CHG reduction target would
be achieved through alternative development patterns, infrastructure, or additional
transportation measures or policies. Pursuant to California Government Code Section
65080(b)(2)(K), an SCS does not regulate the use of land; supersede the land use authority of
cities and counties; or require that a city's or county's land use policies and regulations,
including those in a general plan, be consistent with it. Nonetheless, SB 375 makes regional and
local planning agencies responsible for developing those strategies as part of the federally
required metropolitan transportation planning process and the state-mandated housing element
process.
In 2010, CARB adopted the SB 375 targets for the regional metropolitan planning organizations.
The targets adopted for SANDAG in 2010 are a 7% reduction in per-capita passenger-vehicle
GHG emissions by 2020 and a 13% reduction by 2035, measured relative to 2005 GHG
emissions. In 2018, CARB adopted the second round of SB 375 reduction targets, and increased
SANDAC's 2020 target to a 15% reduction in per-capita passenger-vehicle GHG emissions, and
the 2035 target to a 19% reduction using the same 2005 baseline.
Senate Bill X7-7
Senate Bill X7-7 (SB X7-7), enacted on November 9, 2009, mandates water conservation targets
and efficiency improvements for urban and agricultural water suppliers. SB X7-7 requires the
Department of Water Resources (DWR) to develop a task force and technical panel to develop
alternative best management practices for the water sector. Additionally, SB X7-7 required the
DWR to develop crheria for baseline uses for residential, commercial, and industrial uses for
both indoor and landscaped area uses. The DWR was also required to develop targets and
regulations that achieve a statewide 20 percent reduction in water usage.
California Green Building Standards
Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations was established in 1978 and serves to enhance and
regulate California's building standards. While not initially p romulgated to reduce GHG
emissions, Part 6 of Title 24 specifically establishes Building Energy Efficiency Standards that
are designed to ensure new and existing buildings in California achieve energy efficiency and
preserve outdoor and indoor environmental quality. These energy efficiency standards are
reviewed every few years by the Building Standards Commission and the California Energy
Commission (CEC) (and revised if necessary) (California Public Resources Code, Section
25402(b)(l)). The regulations receive input from members of industry, as well as the public, with
the goal of "reducing of wasteful, uneconomk, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of
energy'' (California Public Resources Code, Section 25402). These regulations are carefulJy
scrutinized and analyzed for technological and economic feasibility (California Public

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
Resources Code, Section 25402(d)) and cost effectiveness (California Public Resources Code,
Sections 25402(b)(2) and (b)(3)). These standards are updated to consider and incorporate new
energy efficient technologies and construction methods. As a result, these standards save
energy, increase electricity supply reliability, increase indoor comfort, avoid the need to
construct new power plants, and help preserve the environment.
The 2019 Title 24 building energy efficiency standards and became effective on January 1, 2020
and addressed lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, and water heating stamdards. The 2022
Energy Code encourages efficient electric heat pumps, establishes electric-ready requirements
for new homes, expands solar photovoltaic and battery storage standards and strengthens
ventilation standards.
Title 24, Part 11. In addition to the CEC's efforts, in 2008, the California Building Standards
Commission adopted the nation's first green building standards. The Californja Green Building
Standards Code (Part 11 of Title 24) is commonly referred to as "CALGreen," and establishes
minimum mandatory standards and voluntary standards pertaining to the planning and design
of sustainable site development, energy efficiency (in excess of the California Energy Code
requirements), water conservation, material conservation, and interior air quality. The
CALGreen standards initially took effect in January 2011 and instituted mandatory minimum
environmental performance standards for all ground-up, new construction of commercial, low-
rise residential, and state-owned buildings and schools and hospitaJs. The CALGreen 2019
standards became effective on January 1, 2020. The CALGreen 2022 standards are the most
current and became effective January, 2023. The mandatory standards require the following (24
CCR Part 11):
• Mandatory reduction in indoor water use through compliance with specified flow
rates for plumbing fixtures and fittings;
• Mandatory reduction in outdoor water use through compliance with a local water
efficient landscaping ordinance or the California Department of Water Resources'
Model Water
• Efficient Landscape Ordinance;
• Diversion of 65% of construction and demolition waste from landfiils;
• Mandatory inspections of energy systems to ensure optimal working efficiency;
• Inclusion of one electric verucle charging station or designated spaces capable of
supporting future charging stations; and
• Low-pollutant-emjtting exterior and interior finish materials, such as paints, carpets,
vinyl flooring, and particle board.
The CALGreen standards also include voluntary efficiency measures that are provided at two
separate tiers and implemented at the discretion of local agencies and applicants. CALGreen's
Tier 1 standards call for a 15% improvement in energy requirements, stricter water
conservation, 65% diversion of construction and demolition waste, 10% recycled content in
City of Carlsbad
31

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
building materials, 20% permeable paving, 20% cement reduction, and cool/solar-reflective
roofs. CALGreen's more rigorous Tier 2 standards call for a 30% improvement in energy
requirements, stricter water conservation, 75'Yo diversion of construction and demolition waste,
15% recycled content in building materi.als, 30% permeable paving, 25% cement reduction, and
cool/solar-reflective roofs (24 CCR Part 11).
The California Public Utilities Commission, CEC, and CARB also have a shared, established
goal of achieving zero net energy (ZNE) for new construction in California. The key policy
timelines include the following: (1) all new residential construction in California will be ZNE by
2020, and (2) all new commercial construction in California wilJ be ZNE by 2030 (CPUC
2013).2 As most recently defined by the CEC in its 2015 lntegrated Energy Policy Report., a ZNE
code building is "one where the value of the energy produced by on-site renewable energy
resources is equal to the value of the energy consumed annually by the building'' using the
CEC's Time Dependent Valuation metric.
In November 2022, CARB released a proposal to set new targets for renewable energy, clean
buildings, carbon removal, and clean fuels in the transportation sector. If adopted by CA RB,
this plan will implement actions to build out a 100% clean energy grid, achieve carbon
neutrality by 2045.
Title 20
Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations requires manufacturers of appliances to meet state
and federal standards for energy and water efficiency. Performance of appliances must be
certified through the CEC to demonstrate compliance with standards. New appliances
regulated under Title 20 include refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers; room air
conditioners and room air-conditioning heat pumps; central air conditioners; spot air
conditioners; vented gas space heaters; gas pool heaters; plumbing fittings and plumbing
fixtures; fh.1orescent lamp ballasts; lamps; emergency Lighting; traffic signal modules;
dishwaters; clothes washers and dryers; cooking products; electric motors; low voltage dry-type
distribution transformers; power supplies; televisions and consumer audio and video
equipment; and battery charger systems. Title 20 presents protocols for testing for each type of
appliance covered under the regulations and appliances must meet the standards for energy
performance, energy design, water performance, and water design. Title 20 contains three types
of standards for appliances: federal and state standards for federally regulated appliances, state
standards for federally regulated appliances, and state standards for non-federally regulated
appliances.
Executive Order B-30-15
EO B-30-15 (April 2015) identified an interim GHG reduction target in support of targets
previously identified under S-3-05 and AB 32. EO B-30-15 set an interim target goal of reducing
statewide GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 to keep California on its trajectory
toward meeting or exceeding the long-term goal of reducing statewide GHG emissions to 80%
2 lt is expected that achievement of the ZNE goal will occur through revisions lo the Title 24 standards.
City of Carlsbad

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
below 1990 levels by 2050 as set forth in EO S-3-05. To facilitate achievement of this goal, EO B-
30-15 calls for an update to CARB's Scoping Plan to express the 2030 target in terms of MMT
CO2E. EO B-30-15 also calls for state agencies to continue to develop and implement GHG
emission reduction programs in support of the reduction targets. EO B-30-15 does not require
local agencies to take any action to meet the new interim GHG reduction target.
Senate Bill 32 and Assembly Bill 197
SB 32 and AB 197 (enacted in 2016) are companion bills that set new statewide GHG reduction
targets, make changes to CARB's membership, increase legislative oversight of CARB's climate
change-based activities, and expand dissemination of GHG and other air quality-related
emissions data to enhance transparency and accountability. More specifically, SB 32 codified the
2030 emissions reduction goal of EO B-30-15 by requiring CARB to ensure that statewide GHG
emissions are reduced to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. AB 197 established the Joint Legislative
Committee on Climate Change Policies, consisting of at least three members of the Senate and
three members of the Assembly, in order to provide ongoing oversight over implementation of
the state's climate policies. AB 197 added two members of the Legislature to CARB as
nonvoting members; requires CARB to make available and update (at least annually via its
website) emissions data for GHGs, criteria air pollutants, and toxic air contaminants from
reporting facilities; and requires CARB to identify specific information for GHG emissions
reduction measures when updating the Scoping Plan.
SB 350-Clean EnergiJ and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015
Jn October 2015, the legislature approved and the Governor signed SB 350, which reaffirms
California's commitment to reducing its GHG emissions and addressing climate change. Key
provisions include an increase in the renewables portfolio standard (RPS), higher energy
efficiency requirements for buildings, initial strategies towards a regional electricity grid, and
improved infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations. Provisions for a 50 percent
reduction in the use of petroleum statewide were removed from the Bill because of opposition
and concern that it would prevent the Bill's passage. Specifically, SB 350 requ ires the following
to reduce statewide GHG emissions:
l. Increase the amount of electricity procured from renewable energy sources from 33
percent to 50 percent by 2030, with interim targets of 40 percent by 2024, and 25 percent
by 2027.
2. Double the energy efficiency in existing buildings by 2030. This target will be achieved
through the CPUC, the CEC, and local publicly-owned utilities.
3. Reo.rganize the Independent System Operator (ISO) to develop more regional electrify
transmission markets and to improve accessibility in these markets, which will facilitate
the growth of renewable energy markets in the western United States.

SB 100
On September 10, 2018, Governor Brown signed SB 100, which raises California's RPS
requirements to 60 percent by 2030, with interim targets, and 100 percent by 2045. The bill also
establishes a state policy that eligible renewable energy resources and zero-carbon resources
supply 100 percent of all retail sales of electricity to California end-use customers and 100
percent of electricity procured to serve all state agencies by December 31, 2045. Under the bill,
the state cannot increase carbon emissions elsewhere in the western grid or .illow resource
shuffling to achieve the 100 percent carbon-free electricity target.
Executive Order B-55-18
On September 10, 2018, Governor Brown signed Executive Order B-55-2018 which established a
new statewide goal to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible and no later than 2045. The
executive order also states that California will achieve and maintain net negative emissions
thereafter.
AB 2127
AB 2127 promotes better planning for EV infrastructure build-out across all vehicle classes. AB
2127 would help the state meet the goal of 5 million zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) on the road
by 2030.
Local Regulations and CEQA Requirements
Pursuant to the requirements of SB 97, the Resources Agency has adopted amendments to the State
CEQA Guidelines for the feasible mitigation of GHG emissions or the effects of GHG emissions.
The adopted CEQA Guidelines provide general regulatory guidance on the analysis and
mitigation of GHG emissions in CEQA documents, but contain no suggested thresholds of
significance for GHG emissions. Instead, lead agencies are given the discretion to set quantitative
or qualitative thresholds for the assessment and mitigation of GHGs .ind climate change nnpacts.
The general approach to developing a Threshold of Significance for CHG emissions is to identify
the emissions level for which a project would not be expected to substantially conflict with existing
California legislation adopted to reduce statewide GHG emissions needed to move the state
towards climate stabilization. If a project would generate GHG emissions above the threshold
level, its contribution to cumulative impacts would be considered significant.
The California Supreme Court addressed the issue of GHG emissions and the evaluation of
potential impacts in CEQA documents, in the Center for Biological Diversity v. California
Department of Fish and Wildlife and Newhall Land and Farming case, (2015) 224 Cal.App.4th
1105 (CBD vs. CDFW), also known as the "Newhall Ranch" case. The justices examined one of
the most common approaches to GHG analyses for development projects which was evaluating
the efficiency of a project's emissions reduction in the context of the AB 32's 2020 reduction
goal, as presented in the statewide CARB Scoping Plan, using a comparison to an unregulated,
"business as usual (BAU)" emissions scenario. As discussed in the Newhall Ranch decision,
determining consistency with local GHG reduction plans or Climate Action Plans that qualify
under Section 15183.5 of the CEQA Guidelines may be the most effective strategy for local
governments to assess the significance of GHG emissions from proposed land use

developments. Qualified CAPs also provide a workable option for addressing post-2020 GHG
emissions and resolving issues that arise out of project-level GHG analyses raised in the Court's
decision.
City of Carlsbad Climate Action Plan
In September 2015, the City of Carlsbad adopted a qualified Climate Action Plan, or CAP, that
outlined strategies and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Since then,
community wide GHG inventories and statewide targets have been updated and included in a
Revised CAP approved in May 2020. The purpose of the CAP is to pursue the community's goal
of promoting a sustainable environment. The City of Carlsbad is in the process of updating the
2015 CAP which is expected to be approved in mid-2024.
The City of Carlsbad evaluates whether individual projects are subject to CAP requirements using
the CAP Consistency Checklist. Projects that are subject to discretionary review but emit less than
900 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e) annually would not contribute
considerably to cumulative climate change impacts as stated in the CAP. Demonstrating CAP
consistency for these projects are not required.
CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ANALYSIS
Thresholds of Significance
Pursuant to the requirements of SB 97, the Resources Agency adopted amendments to the State
CEQA Guidelines for the feasible mitigation of GHG emissions or the effects of GHG emissions
in March 2010. These guidelines are used in evaluating the cumulative significance of CHG
emissions from the proposed project. According to the adopted CEQA Guidelines, impacts
related to CHG emissions from the proposed project would be significant if the project would:
a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on
the environment; and/or
b. Conflict with an applicable plan, polici; or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions
of greenhouse gases.
The vast majority of individual projects do not generate sufficient GHG emissions to create a
project-specific impact through a direct influence to climate change; therefore, the issue of
climate change typically involves an analysis of whether a project's contribution towards an
impact is cumulatively considerable. "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental
effects of an individual project are significant when viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, other current projects, and probable future projects (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15355).
For future projects, the significance of GHG emissions may be evaluated based on locally
adopted quantitative thresholds, or consistency with a regional GHG reduction plan (such as a
City of Carlsbad
35
3215-3225 Tyler Street Residential Project
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
Climate Action P lan). The proposed project is evaluated herein based on use of a screening
threshold of 900 MT CO2e am1Ually as stated above.
Methodology
GHG emissions associated with construction and operation of the proposed project and existing
development have been estimated using California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod)
version 2022.1.
Construction Emissions
Construction of the proposed project would generate temporary GHG emissions primarily
associated with the operation of construction equipment, worker trips and truck trips required
for hauling excavation spoils, materials and equipment. Site preparation and grading typically
generate the greatest emission quantities because the use of heavy equipment is greatest during
this phase of construction. Emissions associated with the construction period were estimated
based on the projected maximum amount of equipment that would be used on-site at one time.
Air districts such as the SDAPCD have recommended amortizing construction-related
emissions over a 30-year period to calculate annual emissions. Complete CalEEMod results and
assumptions can be viewed in the Appendix.
Operational Emissions
Default values used in CalEEMod version 2022.1 are based on the CEC sponsored California
Commercial End Use Survey (CEUS) and Residential Appliance Saturation Survey (RASS) studies.
CaJEEMod provides operational emissions of CO2, N2O and CH4. This methodology has been
subjected to peer review by numerous public and private stakeholders, and in particular by the
CEC; and therefore, is considered reasonable and reliable for use in GHG impact analysis pursuant
to CEQA. It is also recommended by CAPCOA Ganuary 2008).
Emissions associated with area sources (i.e., consumer products, landscape maintenance, and
architectural coating) were calculated in CalEEMod based on standard emission rates from CARB,
USEP A, and district supplied emission factor values (CalEEMod User Gujde, 2022). Emissions
from waste generation were also calculated in CalEEMod and are based on the IPCC's methods for
quantifying GHG emissions from solid waste using the degradable organic content of waste
(CalEEMod User Guide, April 2022). Waste disposal rates by land use and overall composition of
municipal solid waste in California was primarily based on data provided by the Californfa
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).
Emissions from water and wastewater usage calculated in CalEEMod were based on the default
electricity intensity from the CEC's 2006 Refining Estimates of Water-Related Energy Use in
California using the average values for Northern and Southern California. Emissions from mobile
sources were quantified based on default trip generation rates in CaJEEMod.

a. Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may
have a significant impact on the environment?
Construction Emissions
Construction activity analysis is based on the anticipated construction period of approximately
seven months beginning in May 2025 and concluding November 2025. Based on CalEEMod
results, construction activity for the project would generate an estimated 77 metric tons of
carbon dioxide equivalent (CO:zE) in 2025 as shown in Table 7. Amortized over a 30-year period
(the assumed life of the project), construction of the proposed project would generate 3 metric
tons of CO2E per year.

Operational Indirect and Stationary Direct Emissions
Operational emissions relate to energy use, solid waste, water use, and transportation. Each
source is discussed below and includes the emissions associated with existing development and
the anticipated emissions that would result from the proposed project.
Energy Use. CalEEMod default values for electricity use and natural gas consumption for each
land use type were applied for the proposed land use designation. The energy use from
residential and commercial land uses is calculated in CalEEMod based on the Commercial End-
Use Survey. Energy use in buildings (both natural gas and electricity) is divided by CalEEMod
into end-use categories subject to Title 24 requirements (end uses associated with the building
envelope, such as the HVAC system, water heating system, and integrated lighting) and those
not subject to Title 24 requirements (such as appliances, electronics, and miscellaneous"plug-in"
uses).
Operational GHG emissions from energy sources include natural gas combustion for appliances
and space and water heating. The current Title 24, Part 6 standards, referred to as the 2022 Title
24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, became effective on January 1, 2023. The current
version of CalEEMod calculates electricity and natural gas emissions based on consumption
estimates and Title 24 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (CalEEMod Users Guide,
City of Carlsbad

2022). Ca1EEMod default energy intensity factors (CO2, CH4, and N2O mass emissions per
kilowatt hour) for SDG&E were based on the value fo r SDG&E's energy mix in 2021. As shown
in Table 8, the overall emissions associated with electrical energy use at the project site would
be approximately 12 metric tons of CO2E per year. An additional 7 MT CO2E would be
ath·ibutable to nahual gas.
Water Use Emissions. Based on the amount of electricity generated to supply and convey this
amount of water, as shown in Table 8, the project would generate approximately 1 metric ton of
CO2E per year. Emissions related to water consumption would be reduced by 20% per Senate
Bill X7-7, by implementing measures that include the installation of low flow plumbing fixtures
(i.e., faucets, toilets, show heads) and water efficient irrigation systems.
Solid Waste Emissions. Implementation of a municipal recycling program that would achieve a
75% diversion rate statewide is required for residential uses per the California Integrated Waste
Management Act of 1989 (AB 939). The Ca lEEMod results indicate that the project would result
in approximately 1 metric ton of CO2E per year associated with solid waste disposed within
landfills provided 75% of solid waste is recycled (Table 9).

generation rates provided in CalEEMod 2022.1 (i.e., Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip
Generation Manual 11th Edition). Table 10 shows the estimated mobile emissions of GHGs for
the project based on the estimated annual VMT of 286,729 as estimated by CalEEMod 2022.1

Combined Construction, Stc:itionary and Mobile Source Emissions
Table 11 combines the net new construction, operational, and mobile GHG emissions associated
with the proposed project. As discussed above, temporary emissions associated with
construction activity (approximately 77 metric tons CO2E) are amortized over 30 years (the
anticipated life of the project).
For the proposed project, the combined annual emissions would total approximately 222 metric
tons per year in C02E. The proposed project is evaluated based on the threshold of 900 MT CO2E
annually. Project-related annual GHG emissions would be less than the 900 metric ton screening
threshold. Thus, the project will not generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or
indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment. Construction and
operational project impacts from GHG emissions would be less than significant.

As referenced, specific goals and actions included in the City of Carlsbad CAP and Title 24 that
pertain to the proposed project include those addressing energy and water use reduction,
promotion of green building measures, waste reduction, and reduction in vehicle miles
traveled. The proposed project would also be required to implement all mandatory green
building measures for new resid ential and commercial development under the CALGreen
Code. This would require the project be designed to reduce water consumption, increase
building system efficiencies, divert construction waste from landfills, and install low pollutant
emitting finish materials. Implementation of these building and appliance standards would
result in water, energy, and construction waste reductions for the proposed project. Th ese
requirements are included in the CAP Checklist prepared by the applicant to demonstrate
project consistency with applicable elements of the CAP.
Consistency with EO S-3-05 and SB 32
EO S-3-05. This EO establishes the following goals: GHG emissions should be reduced to 2000
levels by 2010, to 1990 levels by 2020, and to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
SB 32. This bill establishes a statewide GHG emissions reduction target whereby CARB, in
adopting rules and regulations to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-
effective GHG emissions reductions, shall ensure that statewide GHG emissions are reduced to
at least 40% below 1990 levels by December 31, 2030.
The City prepared a GHG emissions inventory included in the above referenced CAP. As
stated, the City's CAP was adopted in September 2015. Since then, the City has exceeded the
goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by four percent from 2012 levels by 2020 and is
working to reduce GHG emissions by 52 percent by 2035. The project GHG emissions would
not exceed the screening threshold of 900 MT CO2e, the threshold established by the City for
purposes of determining whether projects would conflict with applicable State goals and
policies regarding GHG reductions, include SB 32 and Executive Order S-3-05,
CARB has indicated that statewide, California is on track to achieving both the 2030 and 2050
goals. This is confirmed in the 2017 Scoping Plan, which states that the Scoping Plan builds
upon the successful framework established by the Tniti.al Scoping Plan and First Update, while
identifying new, technologically feasible and cost-effective strategies to ensure that California
meets its GHG reduction targets. Table 12 summarizes the Project's consistency with applicable
action elements of the 2017 Scoping Plan.

reduce GHG consumption
consistent with state and local
policies and regulations.
CARB's 2022 Scoping Plan sets a path to achieve targets for carbon neutrality and reduce
anthropogenic GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels by 2045 in accordance with AB
1279. The 2022 Scoping Plan focuses on zero-emission transportation; phasing out use of fossil
gas use for heating homes and buildings; reducing chemical and refrigerants with high GWP;
providing communities with sustainable options for walking/ biking, and public transit;
displacement of fossil-fuel fired electrical generation through use of renewable energy
alternatives (e.g., solar arrays and wind turbines); and scaling up new options such as green
hydrogen. Unlike the 2017 Scoping Plan, CARB no longer includes a numeric per capita
threshold and instead advocates for compliance with a local GHG reduction strategy (i.e.,
Climate Action Plan) consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5. Statewide strategies to
reduce GHG emissions in the latest 2022 Scoping Plan include implementing SB 1001 which
would achieve 100 percent clean electricity by 2045; achieving 100 percent zero emission vehicle
sales in 2035 through Advanced Clean Cars II; and implementing the Advanced Clean Fleets
regulation to deploy ZEV buses and trucks. Additional h·ansportation policies include the Off-
Road Zero Emission Targeted Manufacturer rule, Clean Off-Road Fleet Recognition Program,
In-use Off-Road Diesel Fueled Fleets Regulation, Clean Off-Road fleet Recognition Program,
and Amendments to the In-use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation.
The 2022 Scoping Plan would continue to implement SB 375. GHGs would be further reduced
th.rough the Cap-and-Trade Program carbon pricing and SB 905. SB 905 requires CARB to create
the Carbon Capture, Removal, UtiJization, and Storage Program to evaluate, demonstrate, and
regulate carbon dioxide removal projects and teclmology. As indicated above, GHG reductions
are also achieved as a result of State of California energy and water efficiency requirements for
new residential development. These efficiency improvements correspond to reductions in
secondary GHG emissions. For example, in California, most of the electricity that powers homes
is derived from natural gas combustion. Therefore, energy saving measures, such as Title 24,
reduces GHG emissions from the power generation facilities by reducing load demand. The
2022 Scoping Plan Appendix D provides local jurisdictions with tools to reduce GHGs and
assist the state in meeting the ambitious targets set forth in the 2022 Scoping Plan. The 2022
Scoping Plan Appendix D focuses on Residential and Mixed-Use Projects. The 2022 Scoping
Plan Appendix D lists potential actions that support the State's climate goals. However, the 2022
Scoping Plan notes that the applicability and performance of the actions may vary across the
regions. The document is organized into two categories (A) examples of plan-level GHG
reduction actions that could be implemented by local governments and (B) examples of on-site
project design features, mitigation measures, that could be required of individual projects under
CEQA, if feasible, when the local jurisdiction is the lead agency. The Project would include a

number of the Standard Conditions and m itigation measures for construction and operation.
For example, the 2022 Scoping Plan's construction actions include enforcing idling time
restrictions on construction vehicles and requiring construction vehicles to operate highest tier
engines commercially available. The Project would include a majority of the feasible operational
mitigation measures listed in the 2022 Scoping Plan Appendix Das design features. Some of the
recommended operational measures would include providing bicycle parking, creating on-and
off-site safety improvements for bike, pedest1ian, and transit connections, requiring solar
panels, drought-tolerant landscaping, and energy conserving appliances. As discussed above,
the Project would be consistent with all applicable plan goals and applicable regulatory
programs designed to reduce GHG emissions generated by land use projects. The Project would
be subject to compliance with all building codes in effect at the time of construction, which
include energy conservation measures mandated by California Building Standards Code Title
24 -Energy Efficiency Standards. Because Title 24 standards require energy conservation
features in new construction (e.g., high-efficiency lighting, high-efficiency heating, ventilating,
and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, thermal insulation, double-glazed windows, water
conserving plumbing fixtures), they indirectly regulate and reduce GHG emissions. California's
Building Energy Efficiency Standards are updated on an approximately three-year cycle. As
shown above, the majority of the Project's emjssions are from energy and mobile sources, which
would be further reduced by the 2022 Scoping Plan actions described above. The City has no
control over vehicle emissions; however, these emissions would decline in the future because of
Statewide measures as welJ as cleaner technology and fleet turnover. Many State plans and
policies would contribute to a reduction in the Project's mobile source emissions, including the
following:
CARB's Advanced Clean Truck Regulation: Adopted in June 2020, CAR.B's Advanced Clean Truck
Regulation requires truck manufacturers to transition from diesel trucks and vans to electric
zero-emission trucks beginning in 2024. By 2045, every new truck sold in California is required
to be zero-emission. The Advanced Clean Truck Regulation accelerates the transition of zero-
emission medium-and heavy-duty vehicles from Class 2b to Class 8.
Executive Order N-79-20: Executive Order N-79-20 establishes tl1e goal for all new passenger cars
and trucks, as well as all drayage/cargo trucks and off-road vehicles and equipment, sold in
California, to be zero-emission by 2035 and all medium and heavy-duty vehicles to be zero-
emission by 2045. It also directs CARB to develop and propose rulemaking for passenger
vehicles and trucks, medium-and heavy-duty fleets where feasible, drayage trucks, and off-road
vehicles and equipment "requiring increasing volumes" of new ZEVs "towards the target of 100
percent."
CARB's Mobile Source Strategy: CARB's Mobile Source Strategy takes an integrated planning
approach to identify the level of transition to cleaner mobile source technologies needed to
achieve all of California's targets by increasing the adoption of ZEV buses and trucks.

trucks. This Plan applies to all trucks accessing the Project site and may include existing trucks
or new trucks that are part of the Statewide goods movement sector.
CARB's Emissions Reduction Plan for Ports and Goods Movement: CARB's Emissions Reduction
Plan for Ports and Goods Movement identifies measures to improve goods movement
efficiencies such as advanced combustion strategies, friction reduction, waste heat recovery, and
electrification of accessories. While these measures are not directly applicable to the Project, any
commercial activity associated with goods movement would be required to comply with these
measures as adopted.
The Project would not obstruct or interfere with efforts to increase ZEVs or State efforts to
improve system efficiency. Compliance with applicable State standards (e.g., continuation of the
Cap-and-Trade regulation; CARB' s Mobile Source Strategy, Sustainable Freight Action Plan,
and Advanced Clean Truck Regulation; Executive Order N-79-20; SB 100/renewable electricity
portfol io improvements that require 60 percent renewable electricity by 2030 and 100 percen t
renewable by 2045, etc.) would ensure consistency with State and regional GHG reduction
planning efforts, including the 2022 Scoping Plan. It is also noted that the Project would not
convert any Natural and Working Lands (NWL) and/or decrease the State's urban forest carbon
stock, which are areas of emphasis in the 2022 Scoping Plan.
Regarding goals for 2050 under Executive Order S-3-05, at this time it is not possible to quantify
the emissions savings from future regulatory measures, as they have not yet been developed;
nevertheless, it can be anticipated that Project operations would benefit from applicable
measures enacted to meet State GHG reduction goals. The Project would not impede the State's
progress towards carbon neutrality by 2045 under the 2022 Scoping Plan. The Project would be
required to comply with applicable current and future regulatory requirements promulgated
through the 2022 Scoping Plan. Thus, impacts related to consistency with the 2017 and 2022
Scoping Plans would be less than significant.
San Diego Association of Governments: San Diego Forward
Regarding consistency with SANDAG's Regional Plan (Regional Plan), the project would not
conflict with the policy objectives of the Regional Pla n and SB 375. Table 13 illustrates that the
project does not conflict with applicable goals and policies of San Diego Forward: The Regional
Plan (SANDAG 2021). As shown in Table 13, the project is consistent with applicable Policy
Objectives and Strategies from the San Diego Forward -the 202] Regional Plan.

Conclusion
Not Applicable. The project would not impair the
ability of SANDAG to implement an innovative
demand and system management program.
However, the project would generally encourage
the choice of alternatives to driving alone as it is
within ½ mile of the Carlsbad Village Station and
NCTD Bus Routes 315 and 325.
As stated herein, the project woul d remove two existing single-family residences,
vegetation and various outbuildings and construct 12 new three-story units within four
triplex buildings. The units would range between 2,176 and 2,302 square feet. Each unit
would have an attached two-car garage and private open space. A total of six EV ready
parking spaces will be provided and all garages will be EV wired.
Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air
quality plan?
The project is consistent wjth the Pine-Tyler Mixed Use are of the Village and Barrio
Master Plan and is anticipated in the local p lans and SANDAG's population and
employment growth projections. Thus, the project would be within SANDAG's
population growth forecast and would not conflict with the SIP and RAQS.
Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is in non-attainment under an applicable
federal or state ambient air quality standard?
Project construction and operational emissions would not exceed the SDAPCD
thresholds. Thus, the project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non-attainment under
an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard.
Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
The project would not cause or contribute to CO hot spots or otherwise expose receptors
to substantial pollutant concentrations during construction or operations.
City of Carlsbad

3215-3225 Tyler Street Residential Project
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study
Would the project result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely
affecting a substantial number of people?
The project would provide 12 new residential units, associated parking and related
infrastructure improvements. These uses would not result in other emissions (such as
those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people.
Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may
have a significant impact on the environment?
The proposed project would generate annual GHG emissions; however, the emissions would
not exceed the 900 MT CO2e annual screening threshold.
Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the
purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
The project would not conflict with the City of Carlsbad Climate Action Plan, 2017 and 2022
CARB Scoping Plans and the SANDAG Regional Plan; San Diego Forward.
Impacts related to air quality and greenhouse gas emissions would be less than significant
based on information presented herein and in the project materials.
