ARROYO LAGO RESIDENTIAL PROJECT ADDENDUM FCS 107 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480036/Addendum/21480036 Arroyo Lago Residential Project Addendum.docx discussed in the Regulatory Framework of the Prior FEIR.34 The proposed project’s electricity provider would also be required to meet the State’s future objective of 60 percent of in-State electricity sales being generated from renewable energy sources by 2030. As such, the proposed project would not conflict with or obstruct the applicable plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. 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. Zone 7 Stormwater Option The Zone 7 Stormwater Option would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to energy use compared to those previously analyzed since it was previously considered in the Prior FEIR. Under this option, construction of the detention basin, pump facilities, and storm drain force main would be eliminated (as compared to the City Stormwater Option), thereby reducing construction- related energy consumption associated with grading, equipment operation, and material transport. In addition, the option would avoid the ongoing energy demand associated with the operation of pump facilities. Accordingly, consistent with the impact conclusions in the Prior FEIR, the Zone 7 Stormwater Option would not increase energy consumption or conflict with applicable energy conservation plans, and energy impacts would remain less than significant and consistent with the conclusions of the Prior FEIR. Mitigation Measures None. Conclusion There is no new information of substantial importance, changes in the project, or changes in circumstances under which it will be undertaken, identifying new significant effects, nor is there a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts related to energy. The conclusions from the Prior FEIR remain unchanged when considering the implementation of the proposed project. No further environmental review is required. 34 Note that the percentages above do not reflect compliance with the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS), which measures the use of tracking instruments called Renewable Energy Credits over the course of multi-year compliance periods. Renewable Energy Credits that are purchased separately from the renewable energy can be used for RPS compliance, but they do not factor into the power mixes or GHG emissions intensities above.
