Vista Charter Public Schools District Office and Outdoor Space Project CEQA Exemption 15183 Therefore, the project would not cause wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of building energy during project operation, or preempt future energy development or future energy conservation. A less than significant impact would occur in this regard. CONSISTENCY WITH APPLICABLE ENERGY PLANS State and regional plans for renewable energy and energy efficiency include the California Energy Commission's Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR), Title 24 standards, and CALGreen standards. The project would exceed 2022 Title 24 and CALGreen standards and incorporate all applicable energy efficiency measures in compliance with RR E-1 through E-5. The project proposes to remodel and reoccupy an existing building to use as an office building for Vista Charter Public School use. The proposed project would be compliant with all applicable goals and all other all applicable goals and policies by incorporating energy-, water- and waste -efficiency building features as per Title 24 standards. The project would also install water efficient features such as low -flow fixtures and water efficient and drought tolerant irrigation system to further reduce water consumption. Compliance with Title 24 and CALGreen standards would ensure the project's consistency with the IEPR building energy efficiency recommendations, which would ensure project conformance with the State's energy reduction goals. Less than significant impacts would occur in this regard. 4.6.3 Conclusion The project is consistent with the General Plan Update. With implementation of RR E-1 through E-5, the proposed project would not have any specific effects which are peculiar to the project or the site. There are no project -specific impacts or potentially significant off -site or cumulative impacts the GPU EIR failed to analyze, and there are no new significant or substantially more severe energy impacts than anticipated by the GPU EIR. Applicable GPU EIR Regulatory Requirements/Mitigation Measures: RR E-1 Construction activities will be conducted in compliance with California Code of Regulations Section 2485, which requires that nonessential idling of construction equipment be restricted to five minutes or less. RR E-2 At least 65 percent of all nonhazardous construction and demolition waste from nonresidential construction associated with future development in the plan area shall be recycled and/or salvaged for reuse in line with the 2016 California Green Building Standards Code Section 5.408 (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 11). RR E-3 New buildings implemented as part of the General Plan Update are required to achieve the current California Building Energy and Efficiency Standards (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6) and California Green Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 11). RR E-4 Any appliances associated with development in the Plan Area shall meet the requirements of the 2012 Appliance Efficiency Regulations. RR E-5 Development under the General Plan Update shall support the goals of the renewables portfolio standard, SB 350, and SB 100 to achieve a tiered increase in the use of renewable energy to 60 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2045.
