ARROYO LAGO RESIDENTIAL PROJECT ADDENDUM 106 FCS Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480036/Addendum/21480036 Arroyo Lago Residential Project Addendum.docx connections to Contra Costa, San Francisco, and San Mateo counties. The Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is approximately 2.60 miles northwest of the project site. These available and readily accessible alternative transit options would further encourage the reduction of VMT and the related personal vehicle fuel consumption. Thus, transportation fuel consumption would not be wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary. Consistent with the impact conclusions in the Prior FEIR, impacts would be less than significant. Therefore, the proposed project would not introduce new significant impacts or create substantially more severe significant impacts than those previously identified in the Prior FEIR. No additional analysis is required. b) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Standards Consistency Would the project: Conflict with or obstruct a State or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? Prior FEIR Conclusions The Prior FEIR found that the County Project would not conflict with any State or local energy plans. The County Project would be required to comply with the applicable Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards and CALGreen requirements as adopted under Alameda County Municipal Code Title 15. The County Project would incorporate energy conservation features and comply with applicable energy efficiency standards, and the electricity provider, PG&E, meets the State’s current objectives for renewable energy sources. Therefore, the Prior FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant. (Draft EIR, pp. 3.5-17, 6-14). Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The proposed project would be substantially similar to the County Project, though with fewer proposed dwelling units and a substantial reduction in the scope and nature of off-site improvements. Similar to the County Project, the proposed project would be required to comply with the applicable Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards and CALGreen requirements—for example, and among others, EV charging infrastructure and solar requirements as adopted by Municipal Code Chapter 20.08. Ava Community Energy (Ava) would provide electricity generation services for the proposed project, while PG&E would provide transmission and delivery services. In 2024, Ava obtained 62 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources, while the remaining electricity was sourced from large hydroelectric (34 percent), and fossil fuels (4 percent).33 Ava also offers a Renewable 100 option that sources 100 percent of its power mix from eligible renewable energy sources. The proposed project’s electricity provider is required to meet the State’s mandate that electricity retail sellers procure a minimum of 33 percent of their retail electricity sales from eligible renewable energy resources, as required by the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) provisioned in SB 350, as 33 California Energy Commission (CEC). 2024.
