A. The VMT significance thresholds for land use projects and plans compared to baseline conditions are:
1. Project Impact: A significant impact would occur if the total project generated VMT per service population for the project would exceed a level of 14.4% below the citywide baseline VMT rate.
2. Project Effect: A significant impact would occur if the project increases total (boundary) countywide VMT compared to baseline conditions.
B. The VMT significance thresholds for land use and transportation projects and plans under cumulative conditions are:
1. Project Effect: A significant impact would occur if the project increases total (boundary) countywide VMT compared to cumulative no project conditions.
2. All land use and transportation projects: A significant impact would occur if the project is inconsistent with the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Community Strategy Plan (Plan Bay Area).
C. The VMT significance thresholds for transportation projects are:
1. Baseline Transportation Thresholds: A significant impact would occur if a project causes a net increase in total (boundary) citywide VMT compared to baseline conditions or opening year no project conditions.
2. Cumulative Transportation Thresholds: A significant impact would occur if a project causes a net increase in total (boundary) citywide VMT compared to cumulative no project conditions.
