4.6 ENERGY <br /> Threshold E-9: The Project would not result in potentially significant environmental impacts <br /> due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy <br /> resources, during project construction or operation. <br /> Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in no impact to energy related to wasteful, <br /> inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or <br /> operation. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.3-11 —4.2-18.) <br /> Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement the following regulatory requirements <br /> (Draft Supplemental EIR, p. 4.3-4): <br /> RR E-1: Construction activities will be conducted in compliance with California Code of <br /> Regulations Section 2485, which requires that nonessential idling of construction <br /> equipment be restricted to five minutes or less. <br /> RR E-2: At least 65 percent of all nonhazardous construction and demolition waste from <br /> nonresidential construction associated with future development in the plan area shall be <br /> recycled and/or salvaged for reuse in line with the 2016 California Green Building <br /> Standards Code Section 5.408 (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 11). <br /> RR E-3: New buildings implemented as part of the General Plan Update are required to <br /> achieve the current California Building Energy and Efficiency Standards (California Code <br /> of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6) and California Green Building Standards Code (California <br /> Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 11). <br /> RR E-4: Any appliances associated with development in the Plan Area shall meet the <br /> requirements of the 2012 Appliance Efficiency Regulations. <br /> RR E-b: Development under the General Plan Update shall support the goals of the <br /> renewables portfolio standard, SB 350, and SB 100 to achieve a tiered increase in the use <br /> of renewable energy to 60 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2045. <br /> RR E-7: Development under the General Plan Update shall be in compliance with state <br /> and local solid waste regulations including AB 939, AB 341, AB 1327, AB 1826, and <br /> Section 5.408 of 2016 California Green Building Standards Code (California Code of <br /> Regulations, Title 24, Part 11). <br /> Explanation of the Rationale: The Project's annual average fuel consumption from gasoline <br /> construction vehicle use during Phase 4 (phase with most gasoline consumption)would account <br /> for 0.299 percent of the City's forecasted consumption of gasoline fuel and 0.029 percent of the <br /> County's annual gasoline consumption. Additionally, the Project's annual average fuel <br /> consumption from diesel construction equipment use during Phase 1 (phase with most diesel <br /> consumption)would account for 0.166 percent of the City's forecasted consumption of diesel fuel <br /> and 0.225 percent of the County's annual diesel consumption. As such, construction would have <br /> a nominal effect on the local and regional energy supplies. Additionally, the Project would comply <br /> with regulatory requirements, such as the 2022 CalGreen Code, USEPA Construction Equipment <br /> Fuel Efficiency Standard, and California Code of Regulations Title 13, Sections 2449 and 2485. <br /> Resolution No. 2025-041 <br /> Page 30 of 140 <br />
