City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 77 Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded compliance with the policies stated above would ensure that development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not conflict with or obstruct State or local plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency, and this impact would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion Construction of the proposed project would involve on-site energy demand and consumption related to use of oil in the form of gasoline and diesel fuel for construction worker vehicle trips, hauling and materials delivery truck trips, and operation of off-road construction equipment. In addition, diesel-fueled portable generators may be necessary to provide additional electricity demands for temporary on-site lighting, welding, and for supplying energy to areas of the site where energy supply cannot be met through a hookup to the existing electricity grid. Project construction would not involve the use of natural gas appliances or equipment. Even during the most intense period of construction, due to the different types of construction activities (e.g., demolition, site preparation, grading, building construction), only portions of the project site would be disturbed at a time, with operation of construction equipment occurring at different locations on the project site, rather than a single location. In addition, all construction equipment and operation thereof would be regulated pursuant to the ARB In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation, which is intended to reduce emissions from in-use, off-road, heavy-duty diesel vehicles in California by imposing limits on idling, requiring all vehicles to be reported to ARB, restricting the addition of older vehicles into fleets, and requiring fleets to reduce emissions by retiring, replacing, or repowering older engines, or installing exhaust retrofits. The In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation would subsequently help to improve fuel efficiency and reduce GHG emissions. Technological innovations and more stringent standards are being researched, such as multi-function equipment, hybrid equipment, or other design changes, which could help to reduce demand on oil and emissions associated with construction. The proposed project would also be required to comply with the provisions of Chapter 9.21, Construction and Demolition Debris, of the City’s Municipal Code, through preparation and approval of a WMP. The WMP would include project information, the hauling and disposal method, the estimated quantities of materials to be salvaged and/or disposed, and the facility or facilities to which materials would be transported.
