City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project <br />Initial Study/Consistency Checklist Environmental Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />FirstCarbon Solutions 93 <br />https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx <br />regulations and standards would assure that the proposed project would not be wasteful or <br />inefficient with regards to energy consumption. Therefore, no new or more severe impact to energy <br />would result. <br />b) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Standards Consistency <br />Would the project: Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy <br />efficiency? <br />The City of Pleasanton adopted a CAP in 2012 with the purpose of helping the City meet its goal of <br />reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The CAP was chosen as the baseline for this analysis <br />because it is more current than the City’s General Plan. While the current Pleasanton CAP is not a <br />Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy per BAAQMD requirements, it does present measures intended to <br />reduce GHG emissions that focus on energy efficiency and renewable fuels. The Pleasanton CAP <br />Goals and Supporting Strategies for the energy topic are as follows: <br />Goal EC Reduce Community Energy Use <br />EC1 Use city codes, ordinances, and permitting to enhance green building, energy <br />efficiency, and energy conservation. <br />EC2 Leverage state and local programs to increase energy efficiency and conservation. <br />EC3 Establish and promote financing and financial incentive programs to support energy <br />efficiency and conservation. <br />EC4 Develop programs to increase energy efficiency and conservation. <br />Goal EG Reduce Energy Used by Municipal Operations <br />EG1 Promote green building and energy efficient development for government <br />operations and city infrastructure. <br />Goal ER Increase Renewable Energy Generation <br />ER1 Implement local ordinances and permitting processes to support renewable energy. <br />ER2 Develop programs to promote on-site renewable energy to the community. <br />ER3 Promote use of renewable energy for municipal operations. <br />The nature and characteristics of the proposed project would not conflict with or obstruct any of the <br />goals identified in the Pleasanton CAP. Furthermore, electrical power to the proposed project would <br />be supplied by PG&E, which is in compliance with the California Renewable Portfolio Standard <br />governing the carbon intensity of delivered electrical power. PG&E currently provides over 30 <br />percent renewable electricity in its service area, and the total percent of renewable power in PG&E’s <br />mix will only increase over time as the Renewable Portfolio Standard continues to drive utilities to
