Dear Chairperson Nichols and Members of the Board:

On behalf of Pardee Homes, I am writing to urge the you NOT to
increase the Regional Transportation-Related Targets beyond the
proposed 5 MMT level in the AB 32 Scoping Plan.  

This year the Legislature passed and Governor Schwarzenegger
signed Senate Bill 375, which sets out the process to determine the
actual Regional Transportation-Related GHG Targets. That process
needs to be given deference and allowed to work. 

As a builder of master planned communities and a company that has
been recognized by the Governor and the US EPA for green building
and land development practices, Pardee Homes has a vested interest
in the success of SB 375 and AB 32. We also have a vested interest
in helping the state and the home building sector out of its
current and profound economic malaise. Imposing out-of-proportion
burdens on new housing will neither help our struggling economy nor
realistically achieve our AB 32 goals. 

We strongly urge you not to increase the Regional
Transportation-Related Targets beyond the current proposal of 5
MMT. 

Thank you for your consideration of our position.
