1 INTRODUCTION
This report documents the results of a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Assessment completed for the
Sierra Distribution Facility Project (“Project” or “Proposed Project”). The purpose of this GHG Emissions
Assessment is to evaluate the potential construction and operational emissions associated with the
Project and determine the level of impact the Project would have on the environment.
1.1 Project Location and Setting
The Project site is located in northern Fontana, in San Bernardino County (County); Refer to Exhibit 1:
Regional Vicinity. The Project site is comprised of six parcels (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers [APNs]: 1119-
241-10, -13, -18, -25, -26, and -27). The Project site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection
of Sierra Avenue and Clubhouse Drive within the City and is bounded to the north and south by existing
warehouse/industrial buildings, to the west by Sierra Avenue and residential development, and to the
east by Mango Avenue and a landfill; Refer to Exhibit 2: Local Vicinity.
The Project site is bound to the west by Sierra Avenue, to the east by Mango Avenue, and Windflower
Avenue enters the Project site from Sierra Avenue. The proposed Project site is presently developed with
four commercial/industrial buildings ranging from 5,000 to 25,000 square feet in size. The northwestern
quadrant is developed with one building and is utilized as a wooden pallet facility. The northeastern
quadrant is developed with one building and is utilized as a carnival attraction repair facility with truck
trailer parking. The southwestern quadrant is developed with one building and open-graded gravel
pavements and is utilized for truck trailer storage. The southeastern quadrant is developed with one
building and is utilized as a storage facility. The existing buildings are single-story, metal-framed structures
and are assumed to be supported on conventional shallow foundations with concrete slab-on-grade
floors. Ground surface cover consists mainly of open graded gravel and exposed soil, with AC or PCC
pavements surrounding the buildings. Little to no vegetation exists on site. Few large trees are present
between the northwest and northeast quadrants.
According to available historical sources, the Project site was historically undeveloped vacant land as early
as 1896 and was developed in phases from 1982 to 1990. The Project site was historically occupied by
light industrial businesses including: All American Pipe & Steel Distribution; Days Express Inc.; Anderson
Trucking Services; Apollo Amusement; San Gabriel Valley Lumber & Milling; S.J. Steel Inc.; Active Steel,
Inc.; and National Pallets (1987-Present). The Project site is currently occupied by the following
businesses:
1.) San Gabriel Valley Lumber & Milling, 6075 Sierra Avenue. This portion of the Project site is located
on the northwest and is used for manufacturing of wood molding and repair/ sale of wooden

pallets. This property was developed in late 1980s and houses a metal structure and a mobile
office.
2.) 5975 Sierra Ave./ 16899 Windflower Avenue. This parcel is located on the southwest portion and
is currently unoccupied. This property was last occupied by Anderson Trucking Services for storage
and distribution of furniture & was developed in early 1980s and houses a metal structure.
3.) Davis Partners, 17010 Windflower Avenue. This parcel is located on the northeast portion and is
currently used for repair of carnival rides. This property was developed in the late 1980s and
houses two attached metal structures.
4.) Aluma Systems, 17051 Windflower Avenue. This parcel is located on the southeast portion and is
currently used for repair and rent of steel and aluminum scaffolding. This property was developed
in 1990 and houses a large metal structure. Two stormwater catch basins are present at this
property.
1.2 Project Description
The Project involves the development of a 398,514-square foot 1 warehouse building within an
approximately 18.3-acre site, with associated facilities and improvements including approximately 10,000
square feet of office space, vehicle parking, loading dock doors, trailer parking, onsite landscaping, and
related onsite improvements; refer to Exhibit 3: Overall Site Plan. The Project would have a Floor Area
Ratio (FAR) of 0.45 and can have a maximum FAR of 0.60. Future occupant(s) of the building are not known
at this time.
The single building for the Project would maintain a typical height of 43 feet with a maximum height not
to exceed 45.5 feet. The maximum building height allowed is approximately 75 feet. The building
elevations would be articulated with varying depths of recesses with windows. The paint scheme includes
a variable grey and white paint scheme to minimize the bulk and scale of the building with a decorative
paint feature in the recesses along the side (east and west) and rear (north) elevations of the building.
The dock doors (54) would be centered on the south side of the building.
Land Use and Zoning
The Project is consistent with the City’s General Plan land use designation and the zoning. The Project
site’s industrial land use designation is I-L: Light Industrial and the zoning is M-1: Light Industrial. I-L: Light
Industrial (0.1 to 0.6 FAR) allows for employee-intensive uses, including business parks, research and
development, technology centers, corporate and support office uses, clean industry, supporting retail
uses, truck and equipment sales and related services. Warehouses that are designed in ways that limit
off-site impacts are also permitted.
General uses permitted (either by right, minor use permit, or conditional use permit) under the industrial
zoning districts (Light Industrial [M-1]) includes manufacturing, food processing, service and repair,
1 The analysis herein is based on trip generation for a total of 395,034 square feet. The nominal increase in proposed square
footage would not result in appreciable increases in operational emissions.

storage and open yards, warehousing uses, retail sales, restaurants and bars, administrative and
professional offices, educational, and miscellaneous uses.
Landscaping
Landscaping would be provided on approximately 19.8 percent (78,795 square feet) of the Project site.
Landscaping would be installed in all areas not devoted to buildings, parking, traffic, and specific user
requirements, in accordance with the City’s Zoning and Development Code Section 30-551 which specifies
landscape design guidelines for industrial zoning districts.
Project Circulation and Parking
Currently, the Project site is accessible from Windflower Avenue via Sierra Avenue. There is currently not
access between the Project site and Mango Avenue.
Regional Project access would be from State Route 210 (SR-210) via the officially designated local truck
route, Sierra Avenue. Local access would be provided via Sierra Avenue and Mango Avenue. Project site
ingress and egress would be via four driveways: one 40-foot (southerly) driveway and one 35-foot
(northerly) driveway on Sierra Avenue and one 40-foot (southerly) driveway and one 35-foot (northerly)
driveway on Mango Avenue. Trucks would enter the site via northbound Sierra Avenue and exit the site
via southbound Mango Avenue. Mango Avenue intersects with Sierra Lakes Parkway which reconnects
with Sierra Avenue. Trucks would access southbound Sierra Avenue from this point to reach SR-210 and
regional destinations beyond.
The Project would provide 132 parking stalls, 81 trailer stalls, and 37 tractor trailer stalls. Additionally, a
total of 54 dock doors would be provided. Parking stalls would be provided as follows:
• Standard = 98 stalls
• ADA Standard = 5 stalls
• ADA Van = 1 stall
• EV ADA Van = 1 stall
• EV Charging Only = 21 stalls
• EV ADA = 1 stalls
• EV Ambulance = 0 stalls
• Carpool/Vanpool/EV = 5 stalls
The Project would require a 34-foot right-of-way dedication for Mango Avenue.
Project Phasing and Construction
The Project is anticipated to be developed in one phase. Should the Project be approved, construction is
anticipated to occur over a duration of approximately 15 months, commencing in summer of 2024; the
facility would be operational in fall of 2025. New construction would include: (1) demolition, (2)
grading/removal of concrete, (3) building construction, (4) paving, (5) architectural coating, (6)

landscaping, and the applicable off-site improvements conditioned by the City consisting of standard curb
and gutter improvements.
Grading and Utilities
The following describes grading and utility work to be completed for the Project. The Project site is
relatively flat but would require grading to achieve the needed slopes and contour to facilitate building
design and connections to existing utilities. The existing site topography generally slopes downward to
the south at a gradient of 3± percent. The Project site would maintain the same general drainage pattern
and would be graded to conduct runoff to the new drainage facilities that would be constructed as part
of the Project. It is anticipated that the site would be graded to balance on-site, eliminating the need for
off-site soils hauling.
Overhead SCE powerlines are present along the northern, southern, and western property lines of the
Project site. The overhead powerlines would be removed from their existing location and undergrounded.
The applicant would work with SCE to tie into, relocate, and extend services into the site as required.

2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
2.1 Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change
Certain gases in the earth’s atmosphere classified as GHGs, play a critical role in determining the earth’s
surface temperature. Solar radiation enters the earth’s atmosphere from space. A portion of the radiation
is absorbed by the earth’s surface and a smaller portion of this radiation is reflected back toward space.
This absorbed radiation is then emitted from the earth as low-frequency infrared radiation. The
frequencies at which bodies emit radiation are proportional to temperature. Because the earth has a
much lower temperature than the sun, it emits lower-frequency radiation. Most solar radiation passes
through GHGs; however, infrared radiation is absorbed by these gases. As a result, radiation that
otherwise would have escaped back into space is instead “trapped,” resulting in a warming of the
atmosphere. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, is responsible for maintaining a
habitable climate on earth.
The primary GHGs contributing to the greenhouse effect are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and
nitrous oxide (N2O). Fluorinated gases also make up a small fraction of the GHGs that contribute to climate
change. Examples of fluorinated gases include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),
perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3); however, it is noted that
these gases are not associated with typical land use development. Human-caused emissions of GHGs
exceeding natural ambient concentrations are believed to be responsible for intensifying the greenhouse
effect and leading to a trend of unnatural warming of the Earth’s climate, known as global climate change
or global warming.
GHGs are global pollutants, unlike criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants (TACs), which are
pollutants of regional and local concern. Whereas pollutants with localized air quality effects have
relatively short atmospheric lifetimes (about one day), GHGs have long atmospheric lifetimes (one to
several thousand years). GHGs persist in the atmosphere for long enough time periods to be dispersed
around the globe. Although the exact lifetime of a GHG molecule is dependent on multiple variables and
cannot be pinpointed, more CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere than is sequestered by ocean uptake,
vegetation, or other forms of carbon sequestration. Of the total annual human-caused CO2 emissions,
approximately 55 percent is sequestered through ocean and land uptakes every year, averaged over the
last 50 years, whereas the remaining 45 percent of human-caused CO2 emissions remains stored in the
atmosphere.2 Table 1: Description of Greenhouse Gases describes the primary GHGs attributed to global
climate change, including their physical properties.

Table 1: Description of Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse Gas Description
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) CO2 is a colorless, odorless gas that is emitted naturally and through human activities. Natural sources
include decomposition of dead organic matter; respiration of bacteria, plants, animals, and fungus;
evaporation from oceans; and volcanic outgassing. Anthropogenic sources are from burning coal, oil,
natural gas, and wood. The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels
such as coal, oil, and gas in power plants, automobiles, and industrial facilities. The atmospheric
lifetime of CO2 is variable because it is readily exchanged in the atmosphere. CO2 is the most widely
emitted GHG and is the reference gas (Global Warming Potential of 1) for determining Global
Warming Potentials for other GHGs.
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) N2O is largely attributable to agricultural practices and soil management. Primary human-related
sources of N2O include agricultural soil management, sewage treatment, combustion of fossil fuels,
and adipic and nitric acid production. N2O is produced from biological sources in soil and water,
particularly microbial action in wet tropical forests. The atmospheric lifetime of N2O is approximately
120 years. The Global Warming Potential of N2O is 298.
Methane (CH4) CH4, a highly potent GHG, primarily results from off-gassing (the release of chemicals from
nonmetallic substances under ambient or greater pressure conditions) and is largely associated with
agricultural practices and landfills. Methane is the major component of natural gas, about 87 percent
by volume. Human-rel ated sources include fossil fuel production, animal husbandry, rice cultivation,
biomass burning, and waste management. Natural sources of CH4 include wetlands, gas hydrates,
termites, oceans, freshwater bodies, non-wetland soils, and wildfires. The atmospheric lifetime of
CH4 is about 12 years and the Global Warming Potential is 25.
Hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs)
HFCs are typically used as refrigerants for both stationary refrigeration and mobile air conditioning.
The use of HFCs for cooling and foam blowing is increasing, as the continued phase out of CFCs and
HCFCs gains momentum. The 100-year Global Warming Potential of HFCs range from 124 for HFC-
152 to 14,800 for HFC-23.
Perfluorocarbons
(PFCs)
PFCs have stable molecular structures and only break down by ultraviolet rays about 60 kilometers
above Earth’s surface. Because of this, they have long lifetimes, between 10,000 and 50,000 years.
Two main sources of PFCs are primary aluminum production and semiconductor manufacturing.
Global Warming Potentials range from 6,500 to 9,200.
Chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs)
CFCs are gases formed synthetically by replacing all hydrogen atoms in methane or ethane with
chlorine and/or fluorine atoms. They are nontoxic, nonflammable, insoluble, and chemically
unreactive in the troposphere (the level of air at the earth’s surface). CFCs were synthesized in 1928
for use as refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and cleaning solvents. The Montreal Protocol on
Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer prohibited their production in 1987. Global Warming
Potentials for CFCs range from 3,800 to 14,400.
Sulfur Hexafluoride
(SF6)
SF6 is an inorganic, odorless, colorless, and nontoxic, nonflammable gas. It has a lifetime of 3,200
years. This gas is manmade and used for insulation in electric power transmission equipment, in the
magnesium industry, in semiconductor manufacturing, and as a tracer gas. The Global Warming
Potential of SF6 is 23,900.
Hydrochlorofluorocar
bons (HCFCs)
HCFCs are solvents, similar in use and chemical composition to CFCs. The main uses of HCFCs are for
refrigerant products and air conditioning systems. As part of the Montreal Protocol, HCFCs are subject
to a consumption cap and gradual phase out. The United States is scheduled to achieve a 100 percent
reduction to the cap by 2030. The 100-year Global Warming Potentials of HCFCs range from 90 for
HCFC-123 to 1,800 for HCFC-142b.
Nitrogen Trifluoride
(NF3)
NF3 was added to Health and Safety Code section 38505(g)(7) as a GHG of concern. This gas is used
in electronics manufacture for semiconductors and liquid crystal displays. It has a high global warming
potential of 17,200.

3 REGULATORY SETTING
3.1 Federal
To date, national standards have not been established for nationwide GHG reduction targets, nor have
any regulations or legislation been enacted specifically to address climate change and GHG emissions
reduction at the project level. Various efforts have been promulgated at the federal level to improve fuel
economy and energy efficiency to address climate change and its associated effects.
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (December 2007), among other key measures,
requires the following, which would aid in the reduction of national GHG emissions:
• Increase the supply of alternative fuel sources by setting a mandatory Renewable Fuel Standard
requiring fuel producers to use at least 36 billion gallons of biofuel in 2022.
• Set a target of 35 miles per gallon for the combined fleet of cars and light trucks by model year
2020 and direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to establish a fuel
economy program for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and create a separate fuel economy
standard for work trucks.
• Prescribe or revise standards affecting regional efficiency for heating and cooling products and
procedures for new or amended standards, energy conservation, energy efficiency labeling for
consumer electronic products, residential boiler efficiency, electric motor efficiency, and home
appliances.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Endangerment Finding
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authority to regulate GHG emissions stems from the U.S.
Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA (2007). The Supreme Court ruled that GHGs meet the
definition of air pollutants under the existing Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) and must be regulated if these
gases could be reasonably anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Responding to the Court’s
ruling, the EPA finalized an endangerment finding in December 2009. Based on scientific evidence it found
that six GHGs (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, and SF6) constitute a threat to public health and welfare. Thus,
it is the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the existing FCAA and the EPA’s assessment of the scientific
evidence that form the basis for the EPA’s regulatory actions.
Federal Vehicle Standards
In response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling discussed above, Executive Order 13432 was issued in 2007
directing the EPA, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Energy to establish
regulations that reduce GHG emissions from motor vehicles, non-road vehicles, and non-road engines by
2008. In 2009, the NHTSA issued a final rule regulating fuel efficiency and GHG emissions from cars and

light-duty trucks for model year 2011, and in 2010, the EPA and NHTSA issued a final rule regulating cars
and light-duty trucks for model years 2012–2016.
In 2010, an Executive Memorandum was issued directing the Department of Transportation, Department
of Energy, EPA, and NHTSA to establish additional standards regarding fuel efficiency and GHG reduction,
clean fuels, and advanced vehicle infrastructure. In response to this directive, the EPA and NHTSA
proposed stringent, coordinated federal GHG and fuel economy standards for model years 2017–2025
light-duty vehicles. The proposed standards projected to achieve 163 grams per mile of CO2 in model year
2025, on an average industry fleet-wide basis, which is equivalent to 54.5 miles per gallon if this level were
achieved solely through fuel efficiency.
On April 2, 2018, the Administrator signed the Mid-term Evaluation Final Determination which finds that
the model year 2022-2025 greenhouse gas standards are not appropriate in light of the record before EPA
and, therefore, should be revised.3
On September 19, 2019, under the Safer, Affordable, Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule, the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) and the U.S. EPA
issued the final “One National Program Rule.” The rule states that federal law preempts state and local
laws regarding tailpipe GHG emissions standards, zero emissions vehicle mandates, and fuel economy for
automobiles and light duty trucks. The rule revokes California’s Clean Air Act waiver and preempts
California’s Advanced Clean Car Regulations.4,5
On September 20, 2019, a lawsuit was filed by California and a coalition of 22 other states, and the cities
of Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C., in the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia (Case 1:19-cv-02826) challenging the SAFE Rule and arguing that EPA lacks the legal authority
to withdraw the California waiver. In April 2021, the EPA announced it would reconsider its previous
withdrawal and grant California permission to set more stringent climate requirements for cars and SUVs.
On March 9, 2022, the EPA restored California’s 2013 waiver to full force, including both its GHG standards
and zero-emissions vehicles sales requirements.
Presidential Executive Orders 13990 and 14008
On January 20, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 13990, "Protecting Public Health and the
Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis". Executive Order 13990 directs Federal
agencies to immediately review and take action to address the promulgation of Federal regulations and
other actions that conflict with these important national objectives and to immediately commence work
to confront the climate crisis. Executive Order 13990 directs the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ)
to review CEQ’s 2020 regulations implementing the procedural requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and identify necessary changes or actions to meet the objectives of
Executive Order 13990.
Executive Order 13390 also directs the EPA to consider whether to propose suspending, revising, or
rescinding the standards previously revised under the “The Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles
Rule for Model Years 2021 -2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks,” promulgated in April 2020.
On January 27, 2021, President Biden signed Executive Order 14008, "Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home
and Abroad," to declare the Administration’s policy to move quickly to build resilience, both at home and
abroad, against the impacts of climate change that are already manifest and will continue to intensify
according to current trajectories. In line with these Executive Order directives, CEQ is reviewing the 2020
NEPA regulations and plans to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to identify necessary
revisions in order to comply with the law; meet the environmental, climate change, and environmental
justice objectives of Executive Orders 13990 and 14008; ensure full and fair public involvement in the
NEPA process; provide regulatory certainty to stakeholders; and promote better decision making
consistent with NEPA’s statutory requirements. This phase 1 rulemaking will propose a narrow set of
changes to the 2020 NEPA regulations to address these goals.
3.2 State of California
California Air Resources Board
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is responsible for the coordination and oversight of State and
local air pollution control programs in California. Various statewide and local initiatives to reduce
California’s contribution to GHG emissions have raised awareness about climate change and its potential
for severe long-term adverse environmental, social, and economic effects. California is a significant
emitter of CO2 equivalents (CO2e) in the world and produced 459 million gross metric tons of CO2e in 2013.
In the State, the transportation sector is the largest emitter of GHGs, followed by industrial operations
such as manufacturing and oil and gas extraction.
The State of California legislature has enacted a series of bills that constitute the most aggressive program
to reduce GHGs of any state in the nation. Some legislation, such as the landmark Assembly Bill (AB) 32,
California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, was specifically enacted to address GHG emissions.
Other legislation, such as Title 24 building efficiency standards and Title 20 appliance energy standards,
were originally adopted for other purposes such as energy and water conservation, but also provide GHG
reductions. This section describes the major provisions of the legislation.
Assembly Bill 32 (California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006)
AB 32 instructs the CARB to develop and enforce regulations for the reporting and verification of statewide
GHG emissions. AB 32 also directed CARB to set a GHG emissions limit based on 1990 levels, to be achieved
City of Fontana Sierra Distribution Facility
Air Quality Assessment
May 2023
Page | 13
by 2020. It set a timeline for adopting a scoping plan for achieving GHG reductions in a technologically
and economically feasible manner.
2017 CARB Scoping Plan
CARB adopted the Scoping Plan to achieve the goals of AB 32. The Scoping Plan establishes an overall
framework for the measures that would be adopted to reduce California’s GHG emissions. CARB
determined that achieving the 1990 emissions level would require a reduction of GHG emissions of
approximately 29 percent below what would otherwise occur in 2020 in the absence of new laws and
regulations (referred to as “business-as-usual”).6 The Scoping Plan evaluates opportunities for sector-
specific reductions, integrates early actions and additional GHG reduction measures by both CARB and
the State’s Climate Action Team, identifies additional measures to be pursued as regulations, and outlines
the adopted role of a cap-and-trade program.7 Additional development of these measures and adoption
of the appropriate regulations occurred through the end of 2013. Key elements of the Scoping Plan
include:
• Expanding and strengthening existing energy efficiency programs, as well as building and
appliance standards.
• Achieving a statewide renewables energy mix of 33 percent by 2020.
• Developing a California cap-and-trade program that links with other programs to create a regional
market system and caps sources contributing 85 percent of California’s GHG emissions (adopted
in 2011).
• Establishing targets for transportation-related GHG emissions for regions throughout California
and pursuing policies and incentives to achieve those targets (several sustainable community
strategies have been adopted).
• Adopting and implementing measures pursuant to existing State laws and policies, including
California’s clean car standards, heavy-duty truck measures, the Low Carbon Fuel Standard
(amendments to the Pavley Standard adopted 2009; Advanced Clean Car standard adopted 2012),
goods movement measures, and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (adopted 2009).
• Creating targeted fees, including a public goods charge on water use, fees on gasses with high
global warming potential, and a fee to fund the administrative costs of the State of California’s
long-term commitment to AB 32 implementation.
• The California Sustainable Freight Action Plan was developed in 2016 and provides a vision for
California’s transition to a more efficient, more economically competitive, and less polluting
freight transport system. This transition of California’s freight transport system is essential to
supporting the State’s economic development in coming decades while reducing pollution.
6 CARB defines business-as-usual (BAU) in its Scoping Plan as emissions levels that would occur if California continued to grow
and add new GHG emissions but did not adopt any measures to reduce emissions. Projections for each emission-generating
sector were compiled and used to estimate emissions for 2020 based on 2002–2004 emissions intensities. Under CARB’s
definition of BAU, new growth is assumed to have the same carbon intensities as was typical from 2002 through 2004.
7 The Climate Action Team, led by the secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency, is a group of State agency
secretaries and heads of agencies, boards, and departments. Team members work to coordinate statewide efforts to
implement global warming emissions reduction programs and the State’s Climate Adaptation Strategy.

• CARB’s Mobile Source Strategy demonstrates how the State can simultaneously meet air quality
standards, achieve GHG emission reduction targets, decrease health risk from transportation
emissions, and reduce petroleum consumption over the next fifteen years. The mobile Source
Strategy includes increasing ZEV buses and trucks.
In 2012, CARB released revised estimates of the expected 2020 emissions reductions. The revised analysis
relied on emissions projections updated in light of current economic forecasts that accounted for the
economic downturn since 2008, reduction measures already approved and put in place relating to future
fuel and energy demand, and other factors. This update reduced the projected 2020 emissions from 596
million metric tons of CO2e (MMTCO2e) to 545 MMTCO2e. The reduction in forecasted 2020 emissions
means that the revised business-as-usual reduction necessary to achieve AB 32’s goal of reaching 1990
levels by 2020 is now 21.7 percent, down from 29 percent. CARB also provided a lower 2020 inventory
forecast that incorporated State-led GHG emissions reduction measures already in place. When this lower
forecast is considered, the necessary reduction from business-as-usual needed to achieve the goals of
AB 32 is approximately 16 percent.
CARB adopted the first major update to the Scoping Plan on May 22, 2014. The updated Scoping Plan
summarizes the most recent science related to climate change, including anticipated impacts to California
and the levels of GHG emissions reductions necessary to likely avoid risking irreparable damage. It
identifies the actions California has already taken to reduce GHG emissions and focuses on areas where
further reductions could be achieved to help meet the 2020 target established by AB 32.
In 2016, the Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 32, which codifies a 2030 GHG emissions reduction target
of 40 percent below 1990 levels. With SB 32, the Legislature passed companion legislation, AB 197, which
provides additional direction for developing the Scoping Plan. On December 14, 2017 CARB adopted a
second update to the Scoping Plan 8. The 2017 Scoping Plan details how the State will reduce GHG
emissions to meet the 2030 target set by Executive Order B-30-15 and codified by SB 32. Other objectives
listed in the 2017 Scoping Plan are to provide direct GHG emissions reductions; support climate
investment in disadvantaged communities; and support other Federal actions.
2022 CARB Scoping Plan
Adopted December 15, 2022, CARB’s 2022 Scoping Plan for Achieving Carbon Neutrality (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. To achieve the targets of AB 1279, the
2022 Scoping Plan relies on existing and emerging fossil fuel alternatives and clean technologies, as well
as carbon capture and storage. Specifically, 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.
The 2022 Scoping Plan sets one of the most aggressive approaches to reach carbon neutrality in the world.
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.
The key elements of the 2022 CARB Scoping Plan focus on transportation. Specifically, the 2022 Scoping
Plan aims to rapidly move towards zero-emission transportation (i.e., electrifying cars, buses, trains, and
trucks), which constitutes California’s single largest source of GHGs. The regulations that impact the
transportation sector are adopted and enforced by CARB on vehicle manufacturers and are outside the
jurisdiction and control of local governments. The 2022 Scoping Plan accelerates development of new
regulations as well as amendments to strengthen regulations and programs already in place.
Included in the 2022 Scoping Plan is a set of Local Actions (2022 Scoping Plan Appendix D) aimed at
providing local jurisdictions with tools to reduce GHGs and assist the state in meeting the ambitious
targets set forth in the 2022 Scoping Plan. Appendix D to the 2022 Scoping Plan includes a section on
evaluating plan-level and project-level alignment with the State’s Climate Goals in CEQA GHG analyses. In
this section, CARB identifies several recommendations and strategies that should be considered for new
development in order to determine consistency with the 2022 Scoping Plan. Notably, this section is
focused on Residential and Mixed-Use Projects.9 CARB specifically states that Appendix D does not
address other land uses (e.g., industrial).10 However, CARB plans to explore new approaches for other
land use types in the future.11
As such, it would be inappropriate to apply the requirements contained in Appendix D of the 2022 Scoping
Plan to any land use types other than residential or mixed-use residential development.
Senate Bill 32 (California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006: Emissions Limit)
Signed into law in September 2016, SB 32 codifies the 2030 GHG reduction target in Executive Order B-
30-15 (40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030). The bill authorizes CARB to adopt an interim GHG emissions
level target to be achieved by 2030. CARB also must adopt rules and regulations in an open public process
to achieve the maximum, technologically feasible, and cost-effective GHG reductions.
SB 375 (The Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008)
Signed into law on September 30, 2008, SB 375 provides a process to coordinate land use planning,
regional transportation plans, and funding priorities to help California meet the GHG reduction goals
established by AB 32. SB 375 requires metropolitan planning organizations to include sustainable

community strategies in their regional transportation plans for reducing GHG emissions, aligns planning
for transportation and housing, and creates specified incentives for the implementation of the strategies.
AB 1493 (Pavley Regulations and Fuel Efficiency Standards)
AB 1493, enacted on July 22, 2002, required CARB to develop and adopt regulations that reduce GHGs
emitted by passenger vehicles and light duty trucks. Implementation of the regulation was delayed by
lawsuits filed by automakers and by the EPA’s denial of an implementation waiver. The EPA subsequently
granted the requested waiver in 2009, which was upheld by the by the U.S. District Court for the District
of Columbia in 2011. The regulations establish one set of emission standards for model years 2009–2016
and a second set of emissions standards for model years 2017 to 2025. By 2025, when all rules will be fully
implemented, new automobiles will emit 34 percent fewer CO2e emissions and 75 percent fewer smog-
forming emissions. In 2019 the EPA published the SAFE Rule that revoked California’s waiver. However,
the EPA is currently reconsidering the SAFE rule pursuant to Presidential Executive Order 13390.
SB 1368 (Emission Performance Standards)
SB 1368 is the companion bill of AB 32, which directs the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to
adopt a performance standard for GHG emissions for the future power purchases of California utilities. SB
1368 limits carbon emissions associated with electrical energy consumed in California by forbidding
procurement arrangements for energy longer than 5 years from resources that exceed the emissions of a
relatively clean, combined cycle natural gas power plant. The new law effectively prevents California’s
utilities from investing in, otherwise financially supporting, or purchasing power from new coal plants
located in or out of the State. The CPUC adopted the regulations required by SB 1368 on August 29, 2007.
The regulations implementing SB 1368 establish a standard for baseload generation owned by, or under
long-term contract to publicly owned utilities, for 1,100 pounds of CO2 per megawatt-hour.
SB 1078 and SBX1-2 (Renewable Electricity Standards)
SB 1078 requires California to generate 20 percent of its electricity from renewable energy by 2017. SB
1078 changed the due date to 2010 instead of 2017. On November 17, 2008, Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order S-14-08, which established a Renewable Portfolio Standard target
for California requiring that all retail sellers of electricity serve 33 percent of their load with renewable
energy by 2020. Executive Order S-21-09 also directed CARB to adopt a regulation by July 31, 2010,
requiring the State’s load serving entities to meet a 33 percent renewable energy target by 2020. CARB
approved the Renewable Electricity Standard on September 23, 2010, by Resolution 10-23. SBX1-2, which
codified the 33 percent by 2020 goal.
SB 350 (Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015)
Signed into law on October 7, 2015, SB 350 implements the goals of Executive Order B-30-15. The
objectives of SB 350 are to increase the procurement of electricity from renewable sources from 33
percent to 50 percent (with interim targets of 40 percent by 2024, and 25 percent by 2027) and to double
the energy efficiency savings in electricity and natural gas end uses of retail customers through energy
efficiency and conservation. SB 350 also reorganizes the Independent System Operator to develop more

regional electricity transmission markets and improve accessibility in these markets, which will facilitate
the growth of renewable energy markets in the western United States.
AB 398 (Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms)
Signed on July 25, 2017, AB 398 extended the duration of the Cap-and-Trade program from 2020 to 2030.
AB 398 required CARB to update the Scoping Plan and for all GHG rules and regulations adopted by the
State. It also designated CARB as the statewide regulatory body responsible for ensuring that California
meets its statewide carbon pollution reduction targets, while retaining local air districts’ responsibility and
authority to curb toxic air contaminants and criteria pollutants from local sources that severely impact
public health. AB 398 also decreased free carbon allowances over 40 percent by 2030 and prioritized Cap-
and-Trade spending to various programs including reducing diesel emissions in impacted communities.
SB 150 (Regional Transportation Plans)
Signed on October 10, 2017, SB 150 aligns local and regional GHG reduction targets with State targets
(i.e., 40 percent below their 1990 levels by 2030). SB 150 creates a process to include communities in
discussions on how to monitor their regions’ progress on meeting these goals. The bill also requires the
CARB to regularly report on that progress, as well as on the successes and the challenges regions
experience associated with achieving their targets. SB 150 provides for accounting of climate change
efforts and GHG reductions and identify effective reduction strategies.
SB 100 (California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program: Emissions of Greenhouse Gases)
Signed into Law in September 2018, SB 100 increased California’s renewable electricity portfolio from 50
to 60 percent by 2030. SB 100 also established a further goal to have an electric grid that is entirely
powered by clean energy by 2045.
AB 1279 (California Climate Crisis Act)
Signed on September 16, 2022, AB 1279 established the goal to achieve net-zero GHG emissions no later
than 2045 and net negative thereafter. The bill establishes a goal toward at least an 85 percent reduction
target for anthropogenic GHG emissions below statewide emissions limit from Section 36550 of the
California Health and Safety Code.
AB 1384 (Resiliency Through Adaptation, Economic Vitality, and Equity Act)
Signed on September 16, 2022, AB 1384 requires the release of a draft Safeguarding California Plan by
January 1, 2024, and every three years thereafter. The intent of AB 1384 is to prioritize the most
vulnerable communities, ecosystems, and economic sectors in the State’s climate adaptation and
resilience strategy set forth in the Safeguarding California Plan by ensuring that all State departments and
agencies accurately identify, collaboratively prepare for, and are sufficiently resourced to adequately

respond to the impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather events, the urban heat island effect,
habitat loss, wildfire, sea level rise, and drought.
CARB Advanced Clean Truck Regulation
CARB adopted the Advanced Clean Truck Regulation in June 2020 requiring 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. This rule directly addresses disproportionate
risks and health and pollution burdens and puts California on the path for an all zero-emission short-haul
drayage fleet in ports and railyards by 2035, and zero-emission “last-mile” delivery trucks and vans by
2040. The Advanced Clean Truck Regulation accelerates the transition of zero-emission medium-and
heavy-duty vehicles from Class 2b to Class 8. The regulation has two components including a manufacturer
sales requirement, and a reporting requirement:
• Zero-Emission Truck Sales: Manufacturers who certify Class 2b through 8 chassis or complete
vehicles with combustion engines are required to sell zero-emission trucks as an increasing
percentage of their annual California sales from 2024 to 2035. By 2035, zero-emission
truck/chassis sales need to be 55 percent of Class 2b – 3 truck sales, 75 percent of Class 4 – 8
straight truck sales, and 40 percent of truck tractor sales.
• Company and Fleet Reporting: Large employers including retailers, manufacturers, brokers and
others would be required to report information about shipments and shuttle services. Fleet
owners, with 50 or more trucks, would be required to report about their existing fleet operations.
This information would help identify future strategies to ensure that fleets purchase available
zero-emission trucks and place them in service where suitable to meet their needs.
Executive Orders Related to GHG Emissions
California’s Executive Branch has taken several actions to reduce GHGs using executive orders. Although
not regulatory, they set the tone for the State and guide the actions of state agencies.
Executive Order S-3-05. Executive Order S-3-05 was issued on June 1, 2005, which established the
following GHG emissions reduction targets:
• By 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels.
• By 2020, reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels.
• By 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels.
The 2050 reduction goal represents what some scientists believe is necessary to reach levels that will
stabilize the climate. The 2020 goal was established to be a mid-term target. Because this is an executive
order, the goals are not legally enforceable for local governments or the private sector.
Executive Order S-01-07. Issued on January 18, 2007, Executive Order S 01-07 mandates that a statewide
goal shall be established to reduce the carbon intensity of California’s transportation fuels by at least 10
percent by 2020. The executive order established a Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and directed the
City of Fontana Sierra Distribution Facility
Air Quality Assessment

Page | 19
Secretary for Environmental Protection to coordinate the actions of the California Energy Commission,
CARB, the University of California, and other agencies to develop and propose protocols for measuring
the “life-cycle carbon intensity” of transportation fuels. CARB adopted the LCFS on April 23, 2009.
Executive Order S-13-08. Issued on November 14, 2008, Executive Order S-13-08 facilitated the California
Natural Resources Agency development of the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy. Objectives
include analyzing risks of climate change in California, identifying and exploring strategies to adapt to
climate change, and specifying a direction for future research.
Executive Order S-14-08. Issued on November 17, 2008, Executive Order S-14-08 expands the State’s
Renewable Energy Standard to 33 percent renewable power by 2020. Additionally, Executive Order S-21-
09 (signed on September 15, 2009) directs CARB to adopt regulations requiring 33 percent of electricity
sold in the State come from renewable energy by 2020. CARB adopted the Renewable Electricity Standard
on September 23, 2010, which requires 33 percent renewable energy by 2020 for most publicly owned
electricity retailers.
Executive Order S-21-09. Issued on July 17, 2009, Executive Order S-21-09 directs CARB to adopt
regulations to increase California's RPS to 33 percent by 2020. This builds upon SB 1078 (2002), which
established the California RPS program, requiring 20 percent renewable energy by 2017, and SB 107
(2006), which advanced the 20 percent deadline to 2010, a goal which was expanded to 33 percent by
2020 in the 2005 Energy Action Plan II.
Executive Order B-30-15. Issued on April 29, 2015, Executive Order B-30-15 established a California GHG
reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and directs CARB to update the Climate Change
Scoping Plan to express the 2030 target in terms of million metric tons of CO2e (MMTCO2e). The 2030
target acts as an interim goal on the way to achieving reductions of 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050,
a goal set by Executive Order S-3-05. The executive order also requires the State’s climate adaptation plan
to be updated every three years and for the State to continue its climate change research program, among
other provisions. With the enactment of SB 32 in 2016, the Legislature codified the goal of reducing GHG
emissions by 2030 to 40 percent below 1990 levels.
Executive Order B-55-18. Issued on September 10, 2018, Executive Order B-55-18 establishes a goal to
achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible, and no later than 2045, and achieve and maintain net
negative emissions thereafter. This goal is in addition to the existing statewide targets of reducing GHG
emissions. The executive order requires CARB to work with relevant state agencies to develop a
framework for implementing this goal. It also requires CARB to update the Scoping Plan to identify and
recommend measures to achieve carbon neutrality. The executive order also requires state agencies to
develop sequestration targets in the Natural and Working Lands Climate Change Implementation Plan.
Executive Order N-79-20. Signed in September 2020, Executive Order N-79-20 establishes as a goal that
where feasible, all new passenger cars and trucks, as well as all drayage/cargo trucks and off-road vehicles
and equipment, sold in California, will be zero-emission by 2035. The executive order sets a similar goal
requiring that all medium and heavy-duty vehicles will be zero-emission by 2045 where feasible. 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 zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) “towards the target of 100 percent.” The executive order
directs the California Environmental Protection Agency, the California Geologic Energy Management

Division (CalGEM), and the California Natural Resources Agency to transition and repurpose oil production
facilities with a goal toward meeting carbon neutrality by 2045. Executive Order N-79-20 builds upon the
CARB Advanced Clean Trucks regulation, which was adopted by CARB in July 2020.
California Regulations and Building Codes
California has a long history of adopting regulations to improve energy efficiency in new and remodeled
buildings. These regulations have kept California’s energy consumption relatively flat even with rapid
population growth.
Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations. The appliance efficiency regulations (California Code of
Regulations [CCR] Title 20, Sections 1601-1608) include standards for new appliances. Twenty-three
categories of appliances are included in the scope of these regulations. These standards include minimum
levels of operating efficiency, and other cost-effective measures, to promote the use of energy- and
water-efficient appliances.
Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. California’s Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and
Nonresidential Buildings (CCR Title 24, Part 6) was first adopted 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 efficient technologies and methods. Energy
efficient buildings require less electricity; therefore, increased energy efficiency reduces fossil fuel
consumption and decreases GHG emissions. The 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards approved on
January 19, 2016 went into effect on January 1, 2017. The 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards were
adopted on May 9, 2018 and went into effect on January 1, 2020. Under the 2019 standards, homes will
use about 53 percent less energy and nonresidential buildings will use about 30 percent less energy than
buildings under the 2016 standards.
On August 11, 2021, the CEC adopted the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (2022 Energy Code).
In December, it was approved by the 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.12
Title 24 California Green Building Standards Code. The California Green Building Standards Code (CCR
Title 24, Part 11 code) commonly referred to as the CALGreen Code, is a statewide mandatory construction
code developed and adopted by the California Building Standards Commission and the Department of
Housing and Community Development. The CALGreen standards require new residential and commercial
buildings to comply with mandatory measures under the topics of planning and design, energy efficiency,
water efficiency/conservation, material conservation and resource efficiency, and environmental quality.
CALGreen also provides voluntary tiers and measures that local governments may adopt that encourage
or require additional measures in the five green building topics. The most recent update to the CALGreen
Code went into effect January 1, 2023 (2022 CALGreen). The 2022 CALGreen standards continue to

improve upon the existing standards for new construction of, and additions and alterations to, residential
and nonresidential buildings.
Warehouse Best Practices and Mitigation
The California Department of Justice published recommended best practices and mitigation measures to
comply with CEQA, updated in September 2022. The purpose of this document is to provide information
on feasible best practices and mitigation measures that have been adapted from warehouse projects in
California. Project-specific best practices and measures include warehouse sitting and design
considerations such as distance to sensitive receptors, setback requirements, perimeter screening,
parking considerations, limitations on idling time, use of zero-emissions operational equipment (e.g.,
forklifts and yard trucks), and constructing and maintaining electric light-duty vehicle charging stations,
among others.
3.3 Regional
South Coast Air Quality Management District Thresholds
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) formed a GHG California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Significance Threshold Working Group to provide guidance to local lead agencies on
determining significance for GHG emissions in their CEQA documents. As of the last Working Group
meeting (Meeting 15) held in September 2010, the SCAQMD is proposing to adopt a tiered approach for
evaluating GHG emissions for development projects where SCAQMD is not the lead agency.
With the tiered approach, the Project is compared with the requirements of each tier sequentially and
would not result in a significant impact if it complies with any tier. Tier 1 excludes projects that are
specifically exempt from SB 97 from resulting in a significant impact. Tier 2 excludes projects that are
consistent with a GHG reduction plan that has a certified final CEQA document and complies with AB 32
GHG reduction goals. Tier 3 excludes projects with annual emissions lower than a screening threshold.
The SCAQMD has adopted a threshold of 10,000 metric tons of CO2e (MTCO2e) per year for industrial
projects and a 3,000 MTCO2e threshold was proposed for non-industrial projects but has not been
adopted. During Working Group Meeting #7 it was explained that this threshold was derived using a 90
percent capture rate of a large sampling of industrial facilities. During Meeting #8, the Working Group
defined industrial uses as production, manufacturing, and fabrication activities or storage and distribution
(e.g., warehouse, transfer facility, etc.). The Working Group indicated that the 10,000 MTCO2e per year
threshold applies to both emissions from construction and operational phases plus indirect emissions
(electricity, water use, etc.). The SCAQMD concluded that projects with emissions less than the screening
threshold would not result in a significant cumulative impact.
Southern California Association of Governments
On September 3, 2020, SCAG’s Regional Council adopted Connect SoCal (2020 - 2045 Regional
Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy [2020 RTP/SCS]). The RTP/SCS charts a course for
closely integrating land use and transportation so that the region can grow smartly and sustainably. The
strategy was prepared through a collaborative, continuous, and comprehensive process with input from
local governments, county transportation commissions, tribal governments, non-profit organizations,
businesses and local stakeholders within the counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San

Bernardino, and Ventura. The RTP/SCS is a long-range vision plan that balances future mobility and
housing needs with economic, environmental, and public health goals. The SCAG region strives toward
sustainability through integrated land use and transportation planning. The SCAG region must achieve
specific federal air quality standards and is required by state law to lower regional GHG emissions.
3.4 Local
City of Fontana General Plan Update

4 SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA AND METHODOLOGY
4.1 Thresholds and Significance Criteria
Addressing GHG emissions generation impacts requires an agency to determine what constitutes a
significant impact. The amendments to the CEQA Guidelines specifically allow lead agencies to determine
thresholds of significance that illustrate the extent of an impact and are a basis from which to apply
mitigation measures. This means that each agency is left to determine whether a project’s GHG emissions
will have a “significant” impact on the environment. The guidelines direct that agencies are to use “careful
judgment” and “make a good-faith effort, based to the extent possible on scientific and factual data, to
describe, calculate or estimate” the project’s GHG emissions 13.
Based upon the criteria derived from Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, a project normally would have
a significant effect on the environment if it would:
• Generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the
environment, based on any applicable threshold of significance; or
• Conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of
reducing the emissions of GHGs.
South Coast Air Quality Management District Thresholds
On December 5, 2008, the SCAQMD Governing Board adopted a 10,000 MTCO2e industrial threshold for
projects where SCAQMD is the lead agency. The SCAQMD GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Working
Group defined industrial uses as production, manufacturing, and fabrication activities or storage and
distribution (e.g., warehouse, transfer facility, etc.) during Meeting #8. Additionally, the SCAQMD GHG
Significance Threshold Stakeholder Working Group has specified that a warehouse is considered to be an
industrial project.14 During the GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Working Group Meeting #15, the
SCAQMD noted that it was considering extending the industrial GHG significance threshold for use by all
lead agencies. Furthermore, the Working Group indicated that the 10,000 MTCO2e per year threshold
applies to both emissions from construction and operational phases plus indirect emissions (electricity,
water use, etc.). The SCAQMD has not announced when staff is expecting to present GHG thresholds for
land use projects where the SCAQMD is not the lead agency to the governing board.
The City of Fontana has not adopted project-specific significance thresholds, and instead relies on
SCAQMD’s recommended Tier 3 screening thresholds to determine the significance of a project’s GHG
emissions. Although this Project proposes an industrial warehouse, the considerable majority of GHG
emissions generated in relation to the Project would result from mobile truck emissions, and not
stationary industrial sources. Therefore, to provide the most conservative analysis, the City will apply the
13 14 California Code of Regulations, Section 15064.4a
14 South Coast Air Quality Management District, Minutes for the GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Stakeholder Working Group
#8, 2009.

3,000 MTCO2e/year screening threshold recommended by SCAQMD for residential and commercial
projects, the emissions of which primarily the result of mobile, and not stationary, sources.
4.2 Methodology
The Project’s construction and operational emissions were calculated using the California Emissions
Estimator Model version 2020.4.0 (CalEEMod). Details of the modeling assumptions and emission factors
are provided in Appendix A: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data. For construction, CalEEMod calculates
emissions from off-road equipment usage and on-road vehicle travel associated with haul, delivery, and
construction worker trips. GHG emissions during construction were forecasted based on the proposed
construction schedule and applying the mobile-source and fugitive dust emissions factors derived from
CalEEMod. The Project’s construction-related GHG emissions would be generated from off-road
construction equipment, on-road hauling and vendor (material delivery) trucks, and worker vehicles. The
Project’s operational-related GHG emissions would be generated by vehicular traffic, area sources (e.g.,
landscaping maintenance, consumer products), electrical generation, natural gas consumption, water
supply and wastewater treatment, and solid waste.

5 POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
5.1 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Threshold 5.1 Would the Project generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that could have
a significant impact on the environment?
Short-Term Construction Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Project would result in direct emissions of GHGs from construction. The approximate quantity of daily
GHG emissions generated by construction equipment utilized to build the Project is depicted in Table 2:
Construction-Related Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Table 2: Construction -Related Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Category MTCO2e
2024 Construction 496
2025 Construction 711
Total Construction Emissions 1,207
30-Year Amortized Construction 40
Source: CalEEMod version 2020.4.0. Refer to Appendix A: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data for model outputs.
As shown, the Project would result in the generation of approximately 1,207 MTCO2e over the course of
construction. Construction GHG emissions are typically summed and amortized over the lifetime of the
Project (assumed to be 30 years), then added to the operational emissions.15 The amortized Project
construction emissions would be 40 MTCO2e per year. Once construction is complete, the generation of
these GHG emissions would cease.
Long-Term Operational Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Operational or long-term emissions occur over the life of the Project. GHG emissions would result from
direct emissions such as Project generated vehicular traffic, on-site combustion of natural gas, and
operation of any landscaping equipment. Operational GHG emissions would also result from indirect
sources, such as off-site generation of electrical power, the energy required to convey water to, and
wastewater from the Project, the emissions associated with solid waste generated from the Project, and
any fugitive refrigerants from air conditioning or refrigerators.
Total GHG emissions associated with the Project are summarized in Table 3: Project Greenhouse Gas
Emissions. As shown in Table 3, the Project would generate approximately 2,528 MTCO2e annually from
both construction and operations and the Project. The existing approximately 48,000 square feet of
warehouse use located on the Project site generates approximately 1,985 MTCO2e annually and will be
removed and replaced by the Project. Existing emissions have been estimated based on CalEEMod default
15 The project lifetime is based on the standard 30-year assumption of the South Coast Air Quality Management District
(South Coast Air Quality Management District, Minutes for the GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Stakeholder Working
Group #13, August 26, 2009).

emissions factors for building operations and estimated trip generation. Therefore, the development of
the Project would generate approximately 543 MTCO2e net new emissions annually. The net Project-
related GHG emissions would not exceed the City’s 3,000 MTCO2e per year threshold. Therefore, the
proposed Project would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are required.

5.2 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan Compliance
Threshold 5.2 Would the Project conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation of an agency
adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions?
Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy Consistency
On September 3, 2020, SCAG’s Regional Council adopted Connect SoCal (2020 - 2045 Regional
Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy [2020 RTP/SCS]). The RTP/SCS is a long-range
visioning plan that balances future mobility and housing needs with economic, environmental, and public
health goals. The RTP/SCS embodies a collective vision for the region’s future and is developed with input
from local governments, county transportation commissions, tribal governments, nonprofit organizations,
businesses, and local stakeholders in the counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San
Bernardino, and Ventura. SCAG’s RTP/SCS establishes GHG emissions goals for automobiles and light-duty
City of Fontana Sierra Distribution Facility
Air Quality Assessment

trucks for 2020 and 2035 as well as an overall GHG target for the Project region consistent with both the
target date of AB 32 and the post-2020 GHG reduction goals of Executive Orders 5-03-05 and B-30-15.
The RTP/SCS contains over 4,000 transportation projects, ranging from highway improvements, railroad
grade separations, bicycle lanes, new transit hubs and replacement bridges. These future investments
were included in county plans developed by the six county transportation commissions and seek to reduce
traffic bottlenecks, improve the efficiency of the region’s network, and expand mobility choices for
everyone. The RTP/SCS is an important planning document for the region, allowing project sponsors to
qualify for federal funding.
The plan accounts for operations and maintenance costs to ensure reliability, longevity, and cost
effectiveness. The RTP/SCS is also supported by a combination of transportation and land use strategies
that help the region achieve state GHG emissions reduction goals and Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA)
requirements, preserve open space areas, improve public health and roadway safety, support our vital
goods movement industry, and utilize resources more efficiently. GHG emissions resulting from
development-related mobile sources are the most potent source of emissions, and therefore Project
comparison to the RTP/SCS is an appropriate indicator of whether the Project would inhibit the post-2020
GHG reduction goals promulgated by the state. The Project’s consistency with the RTP/SCS goals is
analyzed in detail in Table 4: Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy Consistency.

The goals stated in the RTP/SCS were used to determine consistency with the planning efforts previously
stated. As shown in Table 4, the proposed Project would be consistent with the stated goals of the
RTP/SCS. Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in any significant impacts or interfere with
SCAG’s ability to achieve the region’s post-2020 mobile source GHG reduction targets.
California Air Resource Board Scoping Plan Consistency
As previously noted, the 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
transportation, electricity, and industrial sectors are the largest GHG contributors in the State. The 2022
Scoping Plan plans to achieve the AB 1279 targets primarily through zero-emission transportation (e.g.,
electrifying cars, buses, trains, and trucks). Additional GHG reductions are achieved through decarbonizing
the electricity and industrial sectors.
Statewide strategies to reduce GHG emissions in the latest 2022 Scoping Plan include implementing SB
100, 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 zero-electric vehicle buses and trucks. Additional transportation policies include the
Off-Road Zero-Emission Targeted Manufacturer rule, Clean Off-Road Fleet Recognition Program, In-use
Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation, Off-Road Zero-Emission Targeted Manufacturer rule, 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
through the Cap-and-Trade Program carbon pricing and SB 905. SB 905 requires CARB to create the
City of Fontana Sierra Distribution Facility
Air Quality Assessment
May 2023
Page | 29
Carbon Capture, Removal, Utilization, and Storage Program to evaluate, demonstrate, and regulate
carbon dioxide removal projects and technology.
Approximately 83 percent of the Project’s GHG emissions are from energy and mobile sources which
would be further reduced by the 2022 Scoping Plan measures described above. It should be noted that
the City has no control over vehicle emissions. However, these emissions would decline in the future due
to Statewide measures discussed above, as well as cleaner technology and fleet turnover.
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.
Consistency with the City of Fontana General Plan Update
As previously discussed, Chapter 10 and Chapter 12 of the General Plan Update outline the goals and
policies for resource efficiency and planning for climate change within the City. The Project’s consistency
with these goals and policies is discussed in Table 5: Consistency with the City of Fontana General Plan
Update. As shown in Table 5, the proposed Project would be consistent with the General Plan Update.
Table 5: Consistency with the City of Fontana General Plan Update
Goals Project Consistency
Chapter 10, Infrastructure and Green Systems
Goal 7: Fontana is an energy-efficient community. Consistent. The Project would implement required green
building strategies through existing regulation that requires the
Project to comply with various CALGreen and the Fontana
Industrial Commerce Center Sustainability Standards Ordinance
requirements. The Project includes sustainability design
features that support such measures. As such, the project would
be consistent with this goal.
Chapter 12, Sustainability and Resilience
Goal 3: Renewable sources of energy, including solar and
wind, and other energy-conservation strategies are
available to city households and businesses.
Consistent. The electricity provider, SCE, is subject to
California’s Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS). The RPS
requires investor-owned utilities, electric service providers, and
community choice aggregators to increase procurement from
eligible renewable energy resources to 33 perecent of total
procurement by 2020 and to 60 percent of total procurement
by 2030. As such, the project would be consistent with this goal.
Goal 5: Green building techniques are used in new
development and retrofits.
Consistent. The Project would comply with the latest Title 24
standards. The Project would implement required green
building strategies through existing regulation that requires the
Project to comply with various CALGreen requirements. The
Project includes sustainability design features that support the
Green Building Strategy. As such, the project would be
consistent with this goal.
Goal 6: Fontana is a leader in energy-efficient development
and retrofits.
Consistent. The Project would comply with the latest Title 24
standards. The Project would implement required green
building strategies through existing regulation that requires the
Project to comply with various CALGreen requirements. The
Project includes sustainability design features that support the

The Project is estimated to emit an additional approximately 390 MTCO2e per year directly from on-site
activities and indirectly from off-site motor vehicles, see Table 3. As discussed above, the net new GHG
emissions caused by long-term operation of the Project would not exceed the City’s 3,000 MTCO2e per
year screening threshold, and impacts would be less than significant.
As discussed above, the proposed Project would not interfere with SCAG’s ability to achieve the region’s
post-2020 mobile source GHG reduction targets. Additionally, Project emissions would be indirectly
reduced through the implementation of various Scoping Plan measures, such as the low carbon fuel
standard, vehicle emissions standards, building energy efficiency standards, market-based mechanisms
(such as the cap-and-trade program) and the Renewable Portfolio Standard. Therefore, the Project would
not conflict with the Scoping Plan’s recommended measures and, as such, would not impede
implementation of the Scoping Plan. As such, impacts related to consistency with the Scoping Plan would
be less than significant.
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 operation of the Project would benefit from implementation of current and
potential future regulations (e.g., improvements in vehicle emissions, SB 100/renewable electricity
portfolio improvements, etc.) enacted to meet an 80 percent reduction below 1990 levels by 2050.
In addition, the Project would be required to comply with all applicable standards of the Fontana Industrial
Commerce Center Sustainability Standards Ordinance and final documentation of compliance would be
subject to review and approval prior to issuance of applicable permits. Requirements include, but are not
limited to the following:
• Buffering and Screening / Adjacent uses (Sec. 9-71): include appropriate landscaping buffer
between warehouse building and adjacent sensitive receptors; all landscaping shall be drought
tolerant, loading docks and truck entries shall be oriented away from abutting sensitive receptors.
• Signing and Traffic Patterns (Sec. 9-72): Post anti-idling signage indicating a 3-minute diesel truck
idling restriction, prepare and submit a Truck Route Map, provide adequate stacking depth within
property (minimum 140 feet).
• Alternative Energy (Sec. 9.73): On-site motorized operational equipment shall be zero emission,
all building roofs shall be solar ready, at least 10 percent of all passenger vehicle parking spaces
shall be electric vehicle (EV) ready, at least 5 percent of all passenger vehicle parking spaces shall

be equipped with working Level 2 Quick charge EV charging stations, electric plug-in units shall be
installed at every dock door servicing refrigerated space, provide bicycle parking.
• Operation and Construction (Sec. 9-74): Ensure that electrical rooms are sized to accommodate
potential need for additional electrical panels, use super-compliance VOC coatings, use the
highest rated CARB Tier technology for construction equipment, use electric-powered hand tools
and forklifts.
See Appendix B for a preliminary consistency analysis of Project with the Ordinance. The California
Department of Justice published recommended best practices and mitigation measures to comply with
CEQA, updated in September 2022. Best practices and measures are generally consistent with the
requirements of the Ordinance. Therefore, implementation of applicable standards of the Ordinance
would include applicable best practices and mitigation measures recommended by the Department of
Justice. The Project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation of an agency adopted
for reducing the emissions of GHGs because the Project would generate low levels of GHGs, and would
not impede implementation of the Scoping Plan, or conflict with the policies of the Scoping Plan or any
other GHG reduction plan. Therefore, the impacts would be less than significant.
5.3 Cumulative Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures
Cumulative Setting
Climate change is a global problem. GHGs are global pollutants, unlike criteria air pollutants and TACs,
which are pollutants of regional and local concern. Whereas pollutants with localized air quality effects
have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes (about 1 day), GHGs have much longer atmospheric lifetimes
of 1 year to several thousand years that allow them to be dispersed around the globe.
Cumulative Impacts
It is generally the case that an individual project of this size and nature is of insufficient magnitude by itself
to influence climate change or result in a substantial contribution to the global GHG inventory. GHG
impacts are recognized as exclusively cumulative impacts; there are no non-cumulative GHG emission
impacts from a climate change perspective. The additive effect of Project-related GHG emissions would
not result in a reasonably foreseeable cumulatively considerable contribution to global climate change. In
addition, the Project as well as other cumulative related projects would also be subject to all applicable
regulatory requirements, which would further reduce GHG emissions. As shown in Table 4 and Table 5,
the Project would not conflict with the Fontana General Plan Update, the RTP/SCS, or the CARB Scoping
Plan. Therefore, the Project’s cumulative contribution of GHG emissions would be less than significant
and the Project’s cumulative GHG impacts would also be less than cumulatively considerable.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.
Level of Significance: Less than significant impact.

Consistency with the Fontana Industrial Commerce Center Sustainability Standards
Consistency with the Fontana Industrial Commerce Center Sustainability Standards
Fontana MC Article V Section 9-70 FSDF Applicable SCs, PDFs, MMs
Sec. 9-71. – Buffering and Screening / Adjacent uses.
(1) For any Warehouse building larger than 50,000 square feet in size, a ten-foot-wide
landscaping buffer shall be required, measured from the property line of all
adjacent sensitive receptors. For any Warehouse building larger than 400,000
square feet in size, a twenty-foot-wide landscaping buffer shall be required,
measured from the property line of all adjacent sensitive receptors. The buffer
area(s) shall include, at a minimum, a solid decorative wall(s) of at least ten feet in
height, natural ground landscaping, and solid screen buffering trees, as described
below, unless there is an existing solid block wall. For any Warehouse building equal
to or less than 50,000 square feet in size, a solid decorative wall(s) of at least ten
feet in height shall be required when adjacent to any sensitive receptors. Sensitive
receptor shall be defined as any residence including private homes, condominiums,
apartments, and living quarters, schools, preschools, daycare centers, in-home
daycares, health facilities such as hospitals, long term care facilities, retirement and
nursing homes, community centers, places of worship, parks (excluding trails),
prisons, and dormitories.
There are no sensitive receptors
adjacent to the Project boundaries.
Therefore, this standard is not
applicable.
The nearest sensitive receptors
(residential uses) are located
across Sierra Avenue from the
Project site and are located
approximately 130 feet from the
Project boundaries. The Project
would include a minimum 15-foot
landscape buffer along the western
boundary of the site.
(2) Trees shall be used as part of the solid screen buffering treatment. Trees used for
this purpose shall be evergreen, drought tolerant, minimum 36-inch box, and shall
be spaced at no greater than 40-feet on center. The property owner and any
successors in interest shall maintain these trees for the duration of ownership,
ensuring any unhealthy or dead trees are replaced timely as needed.
This is a site design measure and
not directly applicable to GHG.
However, the Project would be
required to comply with this
measure.
(3) All landscaping shall be drought tolerant, and to the extent feasible, species with
low biogenic emissions. Palm trees shall not be utilized.
The Project would comply with this
measure by installing drought
tolerant landscaping. Palm trees
are not included in the landscape
plan.
(4) All landscaping areas shall be properly irrigated for the life of the facility to allow for
plants and trees to maintain growth.
This is a site design measure and
not directly applicable to GHG.
However, the Project would be
required to comply with this
measure .
(5) Trees shall be installed in automobile parking areas to provide at least 35% shade
cover of parking areas within fifteen years. Trees shall be planted that are capable of
meeting this requirement.
The Project would comply with this
measure as shown on landscape
plans.
(6) Unless physically impossible, loading docks and truck entries shall be oriented away
from abutting sensitive receptors. To the greatest extent feasible, loading docks,
truck entries, and truck drive aisles shall be located away from nearby sensitive
receptors. In making feasibility decisions, the City must comply with existing laws
and regulations and balance public safety and the site development’s potential
impacts to nearby sensitive receptors. Therefore, loading docks, truck entries, and
drive aisles may be located nearby sensitive receptors at the discretion of the
Planning Director, but any such site design shall include measures designed to
minimize overall impacts to nearby sensitive receptors.
There are no sensitive receptors
abutting the Project site.
Additionally, based on the
conceptual site plan, loading docks
are oriented away from the
nearest sensitive receptors to the
west of Sierra Avenue. The Project
includes a driveway off of Sierra
Avenue that would allow access for
passenger vehicles only. Truck
entry would be permitted via
Mango Avenue only, which is
approximately 1,400 feet from the
nearest sensitive receptor (located
to the west of Sierra Avenue). The
Project site plan would undergo
final site plan review and approvals
and appropriate conditions will be
implemented by the Planning
Director.
Consistency with the Fontana Industrial Commerce Center Sustainability Standards
Fontana MC Article V Section 9-70 FSDF Applicable SCs, PDFs, MMs
(7) For any Warehouse building larger than 400,000 square feet in size, the building’s
loading docks shall be located a minimum of 300 feet away, measured from the
property line of the sensitive receptor to the nearest dock door which does not
exclusively serve electric trucks using a direct straight-line method.
The proposed warehouse is less
than 400,000 square feet.
However, according to the
conceptual site plan, the closest
dock door would be located at
least 400 feet away from the
nearest sensitive receptor property
line.
Sec. 9-72. – Signage and Traffic Patterns.
(1) Entry gates into the loading dock/truck court area shall be positioned after a
minimum of 140 feet of total available stacking depth inside the property line. The
stacking distance shall be increased by 70 feet for every 20 loading docks beyond 50
docks. Queuing, or circling of vehicles, on public streets immediately pre- or post-
entry to an industrial commerce facility is strictly prohibited unless queuing occurs
in a deceleration lane or right turn lane exclusively serving the facility.
Truck access would be provided via
one driveway on Mango Avenue.
According to the conceptual site
plan, the stacking depth would be
approximately 141 feet from the
Mango Avenue entry point. The
Project would include 54 docks,
and therefore an additional 70 feet
is not required.
(2) Applicants shall submit to the Engineering Department, and obtain approval of, all
turning templates to verify truck turning movements at entrance and exit driveways
and street intersection adjacent to industrial buildings prior to entitlement approval.
Unless not physically possible, truck entries shall be located on Collector Streets (or
streets of a higher commercial classification), and vehicle entries shall be designed
to prevent truck access on streets that are not Collector Streets (or streets of a
higher commercial classification), including, but not limited to, by limiting the width
of vehicle entries.
Truck turning movements are
included on the Site Plan and will
be submitted to the Engineering
Department for review and
verification.
(3) Anti-idling signs indicating a 3-minute diesel truck engine idling restriction shall be
posted at industrial commerce facilities along entrances to the site and in the dock
areas and shall be strictly enforced by the facility operator.
The Project would comply with this
measure through installation of
anti-idling signs. .
(4) Prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy facility operators shall establish and
submit for approval to the Planning Director a Truck Routing Plan to and from the
State Highway System based on the City’s latest Truck Route Map. The plan shall
describe the operational characteristics of the use of the facility operator, including,
but not limited to, hours of operations, types of items to be stored within the
building, and proposed truck routing to and from the facility to designated truck
routes that avoids passing sensitive receptors, to the greatest extent possible. The
plan shall include measures, such as signage and pavement markings, queuing
analysis and enforcement, for preventing truck queuing, circling, stopping, and
parking on public streets. Facility operator shall be responsible for enforcement of
the plan. A revised plan shall be submitted to by the Planning Director prior to a
business license being issued by the City for any new tenant of the property. The
Planning Director shall have discretion to determine if changes to the plan are
necessary including any additional measures to alleviate truck routing and parking
issues that may arise during the life of the facility.
A Truck Routing Plan will be
prepared and submitted to the
Planning Director for review and
approval prior to the issuance of
the certificate of occupancy.
(5) Signs and drive aisle pavement markings shall clearly identify the on-site circulation
pattern to minimize unnecessary on-site vehicular travel. (6) Facility operators shall
post signs in prominent locations inside and outside of the building indicating that
The Project will comply with this
measure through the installation of
the appropriate signs throughout

Fontana MC Article V Section 9-70 FSDF Applicable SCs, PDFs, MMs
off-site parking for any employee, truck, or other operation related vehicle is strictly
prohibited. City may require facility operator to post signs on surface or residential
streets indicating that off-site truck parking is prohibited by City ordinance and/or
the Truck Routing Plan.
the Project site and within
neighboring residential areas, as
required by the City.
(7) Signs shall be installed at all truck exit driveways directing truck drivers to the truck
route as indicated in the Truck Routing Plan and State Highway System.
The Project will comply with this
measure through the installation of
appropriate signage at the exit
driveways.
(8) Signs shall be installed in public view with contact information for a local designated
representative who works for the facility operator and who is designated to receive
complaints about excessive dust, fumes, or odors, and truck and parking complaints
for the site, as well as contact information for the SCAQMD’s on-line complaint
system and its complaint call-line: 1-800-288-7664. Any complaints made to the
facility operator’s designee shall be answered within 72 hours of receipt.
The Project will comply with this
measure through the posting of
the designated representative’s
contact information and the
contact information for SCAQMD’s
on-line complaint system and call-
line.
(9) All signs under this Section shall be legible, durable, and weather-proof. All signage installed at the Project
site pursuant to this Ordinance will
be legible, durable, and weather-
proof.
(10) Prior to issuance of a business license, City shall ensure for any facility with a
building or buildings larger than 400,000 total square feet, that the facility shall
include a truck operator lounge equipped with clean and accessible amenities such
as restrooms, vending machines, television, and air conditioning.”
The proposed warehouse is less
than 400,000 square feet.
Therefore, this standard is not
applicable.
Sec. 9-73. – Alternative Energy.
(1) On-site motorized operational equipment shall be ZE (zero emission). Al on-site forklifts and yard trucks
will be zero emission vehicles.
(2) All building roofs shall be solar-ready, which includes designing and constructing
buildings in a manner that facilitates and optimizes the installation of a rooftop solar
photovoltaic (PV) system at some point after the building has been constructed.
Building code requires solar ready.
Inclusion of PV system
infrastructure (conduit, reinforced
roofs) and solar PV systems can be
added as mitigation.
See Site Plan general note #18 on
sheet DAB-A1.1
(3) The office portion of a building’s rooftop that is not covered with solar panels or
other utilities shall be constructed with light colored roofing material with a solar
reflective index (“SRI”) of not less than 78. This material shall be the minimum solar

(4) On buildings over 400,000 square feet, prior to issuance of a business license, the
City shall ensure rooftop solar panels are installed and operated in such a manner
that they will supply 100% of the power needed to operate all non-refrigerated
portions of the facility including the parking areas.
The proposed warehouse is less
than 400,000 square feet.
Therefore, this standard is not
applicable.
(5) At least 10% of all passenger vehicle parking spaces shall be electric vehicle (EV)
ready, with all necessary conduit and related appurtenances installed. At least 5% of
all passenger vehicle parking spaces shall be equipped with working Level 2 Quick
charge EV charging stations installed and operational, prior to building occupancy.
Signage shall be installed indicating EV charging stations and specifying that spaces
are reserved for clean air/EV vehicles. Unless superior technology is developed that
would replace the EV charging units, facility operator and any successors in interest
shall be responsible for maintaining the EV charging stations in working order for
the life of the facility.
The Project would provide 132
auto parking stalls. Of these, one
would be for EV ADA Van; 21
would be for EV charging only; and
one would be for EV ADA. In total,
EV spaces total 23 stalls, exceeding
the 10 percent threshold.
See updated tabulation (7) EV (per
5% of city requirements) and (19)
EV capable (per 2022 CalGreen)
(6) Unless the owner of the facility records a covenant on the title of the underlying
property ensuring that the property cannot be used to provide chilled, cooled, or
freezer warehouse space, a conduit shall be installed during construction of the
building shell from the electrical room to 100% of the loading dock doors that have

potential to serve the refrigerated space. When tenant improvement building
permits are issued for any refrigerated warehouse space, electric plug-in units shall
be installed at every dock door servicing the refrigerated space to allow transport
refrigeration units (TRUs) to plug in. Truck operators with TRUs shall be required to
utilize electric plug-in units when at loading docks.
through either covenants on the
title or through the installation of a
conduit to provide electric plug-in
units at all of the loading dock
doors.
(7) Bicycle racks are required per Section 30-714 and in the amount required for
warehouse uses by Table 30-714 of the Zoning and Development Code. The racks
shall include locks as well as electric plugs to charge electric bikes. The racks shall be
located as close as possible to employee entrance(s). Nothing in this section shall
preclude the warehouse operator from satisfying this requirement by utilizing
bicycle parking amenities considered to be superior such as locating bicycle parking
facilities indoors or providing bicycle lockers.
Bicycle racks are proposed in close
proximity to the east and west
building entries.
Sec. 9-74. – Operation and Construction.
(1) Cool surface treatments shall be added to all drive aisles and parking areas or such
areas shall be constructed with a solar-reflective cool pavement such as concrete.
The Project will comply with this
measure.
(2) To ensure that warehouse electrical rooms are sufficiently sized to accommodate
the potential need for additional electrical panels, either a secondary electrical
room shall be provided in the building, or the primary electrical room shall be sized
25% larger than is required to satisfy the service requirements of the building or the
electrical gear shall be installed with the initial construction with 25% excess
demand capacity.
The Project will comply with this
measure.
(3) Use of super-com pliant VOC architectural and industrial maintenance coatings (e.g.,
paints) shall be required.
The Project will comply with this
measure through the use of super
compliant VOC.
(4) The facility operator shall incorporate a recycling program. The Project will comply with this
measure.
(5) The following environmentally responsible practices shall be required during
construction:
a. The applicant shall use reasonable best efforts to deploy the highest rated
CARB Tier technology that is available at the time of construction. Prior to
permit issuance, the construction contractor shall submit an equipment list
confirming equipment used is compliant with the highest CARB Tier at the
time of construction. Equipment proposed for use that does not meet the
highest CARB Tier in effect at the time of construction, shall only be
approved for use at the discretion of the Planning Director and shall require
proof from the construction contractor that, despite reasonable best
efforts to obtain the highest CARB Tier equipment, such equipment was
unavailable.
b. Use of electric-powered hand tools, forklifts, and pressure washers.
c. Designation of an area in any construction site where electric-powered
construction vehicles and equipment can charge.
d. Identification in site plans of a location for future electric truck charging
stations and installation of a conduit to that location.
e. Diesel-powered generators shall be prohibited except in case of emergency
or to establish temporary power during construction.
The Project will comply with this
measure .
(6) A Property Maintenance Program shall be submitted for review and approval by the
Planning Director or his/her designee prior to the issuance of building permits. The
program shall provide for the regular maintenance of building structures,
landscaping, and paved surfaces in good physically condition, and appearance. The
methods and maximum intervals for maintenance of each component shall be
specified in the program.
The Project will comply with this
measu re.
