ARROYO LAGO RESIDENTIAL PROJECT ADDENDUM FCS 105 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480036/Addendum/21480036 Arroyo Lago Residential Project Addendum.docx electricity and natural gas consumption as compared to the County Project. According to the Energy Element of the General Plan, the City’s estimated energy demand for 2025 is 854.8 million kWh, while estimated natural gas demand for 2025 is 25.8 million therms, or 2.6 billion kBTU. As described above, the County Project was projected to generate approximately 1,729,121 kWh of electricity and 8,967,053 kBTU of natural gas. As such, the energy consumption calculated for the County Project would constitute approximately 0.2 percent of the City’s estimated energy demand in 2025, and the natural gas consumption calculated for the County Project would constitute approximately 0.3 percent of the City’s estimated natural gas demand for 2025. As such, the County Project’s projected energy and natural gas consumption would represent a negligible contribution to overall City demand and is not expected to result in a substantial or adverse impact on regional energy or natural gas supplies. In addition, City Municipal Code Chapter 20.08 adopts by reference the then-current edition of the California Code of Regulations Title 24 Parts 1 through 12, which includes Part 6 (Energy Code) standards for residential buildings and Part 11 (CALGreen Standards). Similar to the County Project, the proposed project would be required to comply with applicable Title 24 standards, which would help reduce the amount of energy required for lighting, water heating, and heating and air conditioning in buildings and promote energy conservation. Compliance with these State and local laws and regulations would ensure that building energy consumption under the proposed project would not result in the use of energy in a wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary manner. Operational energy would also be consumed during vehicle trips associated with the proposed project. Fuel consumption would be primarily related to vehicle use by residents and visitors associated with the proposed project. Given the reduced scope of development contemplated by the proposed project, it is reasonable to conclude that it would result in substantially similar, if not slightly reduced, VMT and gasoline and diesel consumption as compared to the County Project. The proposed project is located in an urbanized area that is well supported by public transit. Regional and local access to the project site is provided via Busch Road, which is adjacent to the south of the project site. Furthermore, LAVTA provides bus transit services through the Wheels bus service. Wheels operates Routes 10R, 605, and 608 within 0.5 mile of the project site.30,31 However, Routes 605 and 608 provide only morning and afternoon school services._ The closest bus stops to the project site are Martin Avenue and Mohr Avenue, and Stanley Boulevard and Valley Avenue, approximately 0.3 mile northwest and 0.45 mile southwest of the project site, respectively. The ACE Rail is a regional rail transit service that runs approximately 0.33 mile south of the project site and provides connections throughout the County from San José to Stockton.32 The Pleasanton ACE Rail station is located approximately 2.10 miles southwest of the project site at 4950 Pleasanton Avenue. Finally, BART is a regional rail transit service that operates within the County and provides 30 Livermore-Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA). 2025. Wheels System Map.

Accessed March 10, 2026. 31 Although certain transit stops are located within approximately 0.5 mile of the project site when measured as a straight-line (“as-the-crow-flies”) distance, the actual pedestrian travel distance exceeds 0.5 mile due to the absence of direct walking routes and the need to follow the existing street and path network. 32 ACE Rail. 2026.
