Target setting requires baseline information and we see no
reference material to the reporting of municipalities GENERAL PLANS
such as the required LAND USE ELEMENT, HOUSING ELEMENT, CIRCULATION
ELEMENT, CONSERVATION ELEMENT, OPEN SPACE ELEMENT, NOISE ELEMENT or
SAFETY ELEMENT.

The baseline would be reflected accordingly.  Scenarios are only
guess work when they have no basis in facts.  The Mitigation and
Monitoring is the responsibility of the LEAD AGENCY for CEQA and we
see no such reference to that responsibility.

There is a disconnection with Metropolitan Planning Organizations
in the development of the General Plan and its Elements except for
the Regional Housing Needs Assessment.  That assessment does not
define need in Land Use terms.  Scenarios have no meaning in the
Court of Law over CEQA compliance issues.

The Circulation Element is so important because goods movements
play an important role in greenhouse gas emissions.  

We do not see heat islands, increase in concrete usage or vehicle
registrations as part of the discussion.

The Social Equity and Environmental Benefits have no
quantification:
•	Improved Public Health
•	Increase Transportation Modes, Housing Choices, and Equity
•	Reduced Transportation Costs
•	Increased Economic Development
•	Reduced Congestion and Improved Air Quality
•	Open Space and Resource Protection
•	Energy Savings

That quantification should be included.

Census data need per-capita defined in a mapping process or census
tract process.
