City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 108 reliance on fossil fuel energy resources. Various strategies contained in the CAP 2.0 would further reduce energy consumption and reliance on fossil fuel energy resources. Development consistent with the Housing Element Update is consistent with the increasing reliance on renewable energy sources criterion for the following reasons. New construction would be designed and constructed consistent with the State’s Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards and would be required to incorporate a series of renewable energy design and energy efficiency features. Additionally, the CAP 2.0 contains several measures which would further increase reliance on renewable energy resources. For these reasons, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that energy consumption associated with development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not be wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary, consistent with the energy considerations contained in CEQA Guidelines Appendix F, and this impact would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion During construction, the proposed project would be required to comply with standards for new construction established by the State and BAAQMD and development standards in the California Energy Code, CALGreen, the Municipal Code, and other applicable federal, State, and local laws. The proposed project would be consistent with the City's CAP 2.0 strategies for renewable energy and energy efficiency. The proposed project would be all electric and would not include natural gas plumbing. In addition, the proposed project would include solar installation that meets the power needs of the proposed project and an energy storage system with battery storage. Thus, the proposed project would decrease overall per capita energy consumption. Furthermore, the proposed project would be designed and constructed consistent with the State’s Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards and would be required to incorporate a series of renewable energy design and energy efficiency features. The proposed project would not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources or conflict with the CAP 2.0's plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or more
