Co-Benefits (icon key on pg. 34)
Climate Resilience
Increased density can put people closer to
resources they may need to access during
an extreme weather event. Increased density
can also shorten commutes, decreasing the
amount of time people are on the road and
exposed to hazards such as extreme heat
or flooding.

Health and Equity Considerations
Neighborhoods should include different
types of housing to support a variety of
household sizes, age ranges, and incomes.

Measure Description
This measure accounts for the VMT reduction achieved by a project that is designed with a higher density of dwelling units (du) compared to the average residential density in the U.S. Increased densities affect the distance people travel and provide greater options for the mode of travel they choose. Increasing residential density results in shorter and fewer trips by single-occupancy vehicles and thus a reduction in GHG emissions. This measure is best quantified when applied to larger developments and developments where the density is somewhat similar to the surrounding area due to the underlying research being founded in data from the
neighborhood level.

Subsector
Land Use
Locational Context
Urban, suburban
Scale of Application
Project/Site
Implementation Requirements
This measure is most accurately quantified when applied to larger developments and/or developments where the density is
somewhat similar to the surrounding neighborhood.

Cost Considerations
Depending on the location, increasing residential density may increase housing and development costs. However, the costs of providing public services, such as health care, education, policing, and transit, are generally lower in more dense areas where things are closer together. Infrastructure that provides drinking water and electricity also operates more efficiently when the service and transmission area is reduced. Local governments may provide approval streamlining benefits or financial incentives for infill and high-density residential projects.

Expanded Mitigation Options
When paired with Measure T-2, Increase Job Density, the cumulative densification from these measures can result in a highly walkable and bikeable area, yielding increased co-benefits in VMT reductions, improved public health, and social equity. 30%

Further explanation of key variables:
▪ (C) – The residential density of typical development is based on the blended average density of residential development in the U.S. forecasted for 2025. This estimate includes apartments, condominiums, and townhouses, as well as detached single-family housing on both small and large lots. An acre in this context is defined as an acre of developed land, not including streets, school sites, parks, and other undevelopable land. If reductions are being calculated from a specific baseline derived from a travel demand forecasting model, the residential density of the relevant transportation analysis zone should be used instead of the value for a typical development.
▪ (D) – A meta-regression analysis of five studies that controlled for self-selection found that a 0.22 percent decrease in VMT occurs for every 1 percent increase in residential density (Stevens 2016).

GHG Calculation Caps or Maximums
Measure Maximum
(Amax) The percent reduction in GHG emissions (A) is capped at 30 percent. The purpose for the 30 percent cap is to limit the influence of any single built environmental factor (such as density). Projects that implement multiple land use strategies (e.g., density, design, diversity) will show more of a reduction than relying on improvements from a single built environment factor.

T-1. Increase Residential Density TRANSPORTATION | 72
Subsector Maximum
( ∑ AmaxT-1 through T-4 ≤65%) This measure is in the Land Use subsector. This subcategory includes Measures T-1 through T-4. The VMT reduction from the combined implementation of all measures within this subsector is capped at 65 percent.

Example GHG Reduction Quantification
The user reduces VMT by increasing the residential density of the project study area. In this example, the project’s residential density would be 15 du per acre (B), which would reduce GHG emissions from project VMT by 14.2 percent.

Quantified Co-Benefits
Improved Local Air Quality
The percent reduction in GHG emissions (A) would be the same as the percent reduction in NOX, CO, NO2, SO2, and PM. Reductions in ROG emissions can be calculated by multiplying the percent reduction in GHG emissions (A) by an adjustment factor of 87 percent. See Adjusting VMT Reductions to Emission Reductions above for further discussion.

Energy and Fuel Savings
The percent reduction in vehicle fuel consumption would be the same as the percent reduction in GHG emissions (A).

VMT Reductions
The percent reduction in VMT would be the same as the percent reduction in GHG emissions (A).

Appendix L: Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program

CITY OF ORANGE NORTH TUSTIN STREET RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
NO. ENV25-0001
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that when a public agency completes an environmental document which includes measures to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects, the public agency must adopt a reporting or monitoring plan. This requirement ensures that environmental impacts found to be potentially significant will be mitigated. The reporting or monitoring plan must be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6).

In compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the attached Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Checklist, has been prepared for the North Tustin Street Residential Project. The table identifies Project Design Features (PDFs); Plans, Programs, and Policies (PPPs); and Mitigation Measures (MMs) required by the City to mitigate or avoid significant adverse impacts associated with the implementation of the Project. This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Checklist is intended to provide verification that all applicable mitigation measures relative to significant environmental impacts are monitored and reported. Monitoring will include: 1) verification that each mitigation measure has been implemented; 2) recordation of the actions taken to implement each mitigation measure; and 3) retention of records in the City’s North Tustin Street Residential project file.

This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) delineates responsibilities for monitoring the Project but also allows the City flexibility and discretion in determining how best to monitor implementation. Monitoring procedures will vary according to the type of mitigation measure. Adequate monitoring consists of demonstrating that monitoring procedures took place and that mitigation measures were implemented. This includes the review of all monitoring reports, enforcement actions, and document disposition, unless otherwise noted in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Checklist. If an adopted mitigation measure is not being properly implemented, the designated monitoring personnel shall require corrective actions to ensure adequate implementation.

Reporting consists of establishing a record that a mitigation measure is being implemented, and generally involves the following steps:
• The City distributes reporting forms to the appropriate entities for verification of compliance.
• Departments/agencies with reporting responsibilities will review the Mitigated Negative Declaration, which provides general background information on the reasons for including specified mitigation measures.
• Periodic meetings may be held during Project implementation to report on compliance of mitigation measures.
• Responsible parties provide the City with verification that monitoring has been conducted and ensure, as applicable, that mitigation measures have been implemented. Monitoring City of Orange North Tustin Street Residential Project
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program MND NO. ENV25-0001 2 compliance may be documented through existing review and approval programs such as field inspection reports and plan review.
• The City prepares a reporting form periodically during the construction phase and an annual report summarizing all project mitigation monitoring efforts. • Appropriate mitigation measures will be included in construction documents and/or conditions of permits/approvals.

Minor changes to the MMRP, if required, would be made in accordance with CEQA and would be permitted after review and approval by the City. Such changes could include reassignment of monitoring and reporting responsibilities, plan redesign to make any appropriate improvements, and/or modification, substitution or deletion of mitigation measures subject to conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. No change will be permitted unless the MMRP continues to satisfy the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.
