SB 743 Implementation May 2022 Exhibit 2 —Screening Criteria Map- Based Screening This method eliminates the need for complex analyses, by allowing existing VMT data to serve as a basis for the screening smaller developments. Note that screening is limited to residential and office projects utilizing the maps. Redevelopment Projects' Projects with lower VMT than existing on - site uses, can under limited circumstances, be presumed to have a non -significant impact. In the event this screening does not apply, projects should be analyzed as though there is no existing uses on site (project analysis cannot take credit for existing VMT).
