The
Draft
EIR
Land

Section
(4.I)
discusses
each
of
the
Project
Site
development
scenarios’
consistency
with
the
BCDC
San
Francisco
Bay

in
Table
4.I-1.
As
discussed,
the
scenarios
are
consistent
with
the
policies
of
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Plan.
Greenhouse
gas
emissions
models
account
for
projected
emissions
changes
related
to
the
vehicle
fleet
mix
within
the
state
based
on
current
state
and
federal
regulations
that
require
manufacturers
to
achieve
increasing
fuel
efficiency
over
time.
These
models
also
account
for
both
mobile
and
stationary
sources
of
GHG
emissions.
The
Regional
Housing
Needs

addresses

of
the
General
Plan
states
that
the
“Brisbane
1994
General
Plan
is
a
ten
year
plan.
This
time
frame
was
chosen
because
it
represents
a
foreseeable
future.”
Since
the
General
Plan
projects
development
only
over
a
10-year
time
frame
(1994-2004)
and
Plan
Bay
Area
projects
household

employment
from
2010
through
2040,
no
direct
comparison
of
General
Plan
and
Plan
Bay

projections
is
possible.
