EXHIBIT A <br />9.16 Energy Resources <br />As discussed in Section 4.14, Energy, of the DEIR, the Project would not result in an increase in overall <br />or per capita energy consumption, or in a wasteful or unnecessary consumption of energy, or require or <br />result in the construction of new sources of energy supplies or additional energy infrastructure capacity, <br />the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects, or conflict with applicable energy <br />efficiency policies or standards. The Project would be developed pursuant to the California Green Building <br />Standards Code (24 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Part 11 [CALGreen Code]), which would <br />provide for sustainable construction and operational practices, including energy efficiency. (DEIR, pp. <br />4.14-5 through 4.14-7.) <br />The City's administration of the Title 24 requirements and the City's Climate Action Plan includes review <br />of design components and energy conservation measures ensures that all requirements are met. Typical <br />Title 24 measures include insulation; use of energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning <br />equipment (HVAC); solar -reflective roofing materials; energy-efficient indoor and outdoor lighting <br />systems; reclamation of heat rejection from refrigeration equipment to generate hot water; and <br />incorporation of skylights, etc. In complying with the Title 24 standards, impacts to peak energy usage <br />periods would be minimized, and impacts on statewide and regional energy needs would be reduced. <br />In addition, the Project would represent an urban infill development because it would occur on a currently <br />developed site, and would be located near existing off-site employment, commercial, residential, and retail <br />destinations and in proximity to existing public bus stops and freeways, which would result in reduced <br />vehicle trips and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) in comparison to a project of similar size and land without <br />close access to employment, service, and retail, destinations; in addition to public transit and freeways. <br />The land use characteristics of the Project are consistent with the California Air Pollution Control Officers <br />Association (CAPCOA) guidance related to a reduction of vehicle trip distances that would achieve a <br />reduction in associated transportation -related fuel demand. Also, the Project site is within an area where <br />existing infrastructure would provide for efficient delivery of electricity and natural gas to the Project and <br />the Project would not inhibit the development of other alternative energy sources. <br />For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR, impacts associated with this issue <br />would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (DEIR, pp. 4.14-5 through 4.14-7.) <br />9.17 Findings Regarding Cumulative Environmental Impacts <br />Consistent with CEQA's requirements, the EIR for the Project includes an analysis of cumulative impacts. <br />As discussed throughout Chapter 4.0, Environmental Setting and Impact Analysis, of the DEIR, the <br />DEIR's cumulative evaluation focuses on whether the impacts of the Project are cumulatively <br />considerable within the context of impacts caused by other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future <br />projects. As described, different types of cumulative impacts occur for different environmental resources <br />that affect different geographic areas. The geographic scope of the cumulative air quality analysis, where <br />cumulative impacts occur over a large area, is different from the geographic scope considered for <br />cumulative analysis of aesthetic resources, for which cumulative impacts are limited to specific viewsheds. <br />Thus, in assessing aesthetic resources impacts, only development within and immediately adjacent to the <br />Project area that would contribute to a cumulative visual effect is analyzed, whereas cumulative traffic <br />impacts are based upon all development within the traffic study area of roadways and intersections. <br />Therefore, the DEIR describes the cumulative geographic scope, and the potential cumulative impacts <br />Resolution No. _ <br />Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR <br />75E-88 <br />Page 50 of 71 <br />
