<p>Glenborough and Easton Place at Easton are proposed mixed-use developments located on a portion of 12,000-acre Aerojet property, a rocket testing facility 15 miles north of City of Sacramento. In addition to the site&rsquo;s industrial past, it was also extensively dredged for gold at the turn of the century. The developments will consist of nearly 5,000 homes of varying densities, approximately 6 million square feet of retail and office uses, transit-oriented village, schools, community resource area, neighborhood parks, and open space and trail systems linking to an extension of the American River Parkway along Alder Creek corridor. The project included detailed greenhouse gas (GHG)/climate change and sustainability analyses aimed to reduce GHG emissions potentially created by the developments. The carbon emission offsets were augmented up to approximately 57% compared with unmitigated, &ldquo;business as usual&rdquo; emissions through implementation of an array of GHG-reduction measures. These measures were developed to respond to the GHG mitigation strategies identified by the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) in &ldquo;Addressing Climate Change in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Documents&rdquo; (2007) as well as set of objectives identified by the California Attorney General in a technical memorandum entitled Global Warming Mitigation Measures (2007) and California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) guidelines. These measures addressed a myriad of issues such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, green buildings, water conservation, solid waste, transportation, alternative-fuels, land use, and public education among others. Additionally, the project involved preparation of an Air Quality Mitigation Plan (AQMP) devised to achieve a minimum 10% reduction in GHG emissions with 15% to be demonstrated at full build-out based on SMAQMD requirements. Analysis for the AQMP was based on the &ldquo;Recommended Guidance for Land Use Emission Reductions 2007 Update&rdquo; (2007) as administered by SMAQMD. The plan identified mitigation measures and calculated the credit accorded to them per SMAQMD standards.</p>
