i MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOODS K AND L INITIAL STUDY 5.ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 3.AIR QUALITY AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS it Bike Parkina. Non-residential portions of the project shall provide plentiful short-term and long-term bicycle parking facilities to meet peak season maximum demand. Short-term facilities shall be provided at a minimum ratio of one bike rack space per 20 vehicle spaces. Long-term facilities shall provide a minimum ratio of one long-term bicycle storage 1 space per 20 employee parking spaces. (Credit:0.625 percent reduction over baseline) g) Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? The discussion below uses a qualitative approach,which addresses whether the project conflict with any applicable plan, policy,or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. Theoretically, if a project implements reduction strategies identified in AB 32,the Governor's Executive Order S-3-05, or other strategies to help reduce GHGs to the level proposed for California, it could reasonably follow that the project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. However,this analysis considers that, because the quantifiable thresholds established by the SJVAPCD were formulated based on AB 32 reduction strategies,a project cannot exceed the numeric threshold without also conflicting with an applicable plan, policy, or sFregulation.adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. As discussed above under Item(f),the project would not exceed the numeric SJVAPCD GHG threshold, and the impact would be considered less than significant after mitigation. In addition, San Joaquin County has not established a GHG reduction plan. Therefore,the potential for the project to conflict with any 1 applicable plans, policies,or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing F1 GHG emissions would be less than significant with mitigation.
