mostly
undeveloped
and
dominated
by
the
former
Southern
Pacific
Railyards,
but
also
includes
a
developed
industrial
park
with
231,400
square
feet
of
building
area”
This
specific
land
use
is
noted
on
Table
4.GF-1
as
an
industrial
park
to
be
removed
(i.e.
to
be
displaced
by
Project
Site
development).
The
analysis
in
the
Draft
EIR
looks
at
the
effects
of
Project
Site
development
on
the
environment.
Climate
change
impacts
are
exclusively
cumulative
impacts
that
affect
the
global
concentrations
of
GHGs
(i.e.,
there
would
be
no
localized
“hot
spot”
of
elevated
GHG
concentrations).
Consequently,
the
focus
of
the
analysis
is
to
determine
what
would
be
the
net
increase
in
GHG
that
would
result
from
implementation
of
the
four
development
scenarios
and
to
determine
whether
that
net
increase
represents
a
cumulatively
considerable
contribution
to
the
environment.
A
description
of
the
line
item
emission
sources
considered
in
the
calculations
is
provided
on
page
4.F-14
through
4.F-16
of
the
Draft
EIR.
Appendix
G
of
the
Draft
EIR
provides
the
URBEMIS
and
BGM
output
files
for
the
calculations
in
Table
4.F-1.
The
Final
EIR
includes
an
updated
estimation
of
Project
Site
development-related
GHG
emissions
based
on
the
latest
version
of
the
CalEEMod
model,
which
was
released
in
October
of
2013
subsequent
to
the
release
of
the
Baylands
Draft
EIR.
The
new
estimate
shows
substantially
lower
projected
emissions,
primarily
due
to
updated
assumptions
in
the
model
for
future
motor
vehicle
emission
factors.
The
updated
emission
inventory
is
provided
as
a
text
revision
Section
4.F,

Emissions

in
Volume

Chapter
3.0
of
the
Final
EIR.
As
discussed
25,
internal
capture
reductions
for
proposed
development
within
the
Baylands
were
estimated
to
be:
Home-based
work
trips
DSP/DSP-V:
5
percent
CPP/CPP-V:
0
percent
DSP/DSP-V:
16
percent
CPP/DSP-V:
0
percent
DSP/DSP-V:
39
percent
CPP/DSP-V:
39
percent
Home-based
other
trips
Non-home
based
trips:
Thus,
the
differences
in
the
number
and
average
length
of
external
trips
between
the
DSP/DSP-V
and
CPP/CPP-V
scenarios
result
from
capture
of
home-based
trips
to
non-work
locations
and
a
modest
amount
of
home
to
work
trips
(5
percent)
within
the
Baylands.
