City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project <br />Addendum CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum <br /> <br /> <br />68 <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />As explained in Section 2, Project Description, maximum buildout of the <br />proposed sites is within the scope of and would result in fewer housing units <br />than what was analyzed in the certified Housing Element Update FEIR. The <br />proposed sites are expected to be developed under separate projects over <br />the longer-term future and may be subject to future project-level CEQA <br />analysis. <br />Construction <br />Like the development analyzed in the Prior FEIR, construction of future <br />development on the proposed sites would require the use of heavy-duty <br />construction equipment and vehicles and would be associated with worker <br />commute trips and materials delivery. These activities would consume diesel <br />fuel, gasoline, and electricity (for limited on-site uses such as lighting or small <br />tools). <br />Energy use during construction would be temporary in nature, and <br />equipment used would be typical of construction projects in the region. <br />Construction contractors would be required to demonstrate compliance with <br />applicable ARB regulations that restrict the idling of heavy-duty diesel motor <br />vehicles and govern the accelerated retrofitting, repowering, or <br />replacement of heavy-duty diesel on- and off-road equipment. <br />Development within the proposed sites would also be required to comply <br />with CALGreen construction waste management practices to recycle 65 <br />percent of all construction and demolition debris. <br />It is anticipated that the fuel efficiency of the construction vehicle fleet <br />would increase over time due to advancement in technologies and <br />regulations. As such, the amount of fuel consumed during construction would <br />decrease over time. In addition, the construction of future development <br />consistent with the proposed project would not be unusual as compared to <br />the local and regional demand for energy resources. There are no unusual <br />project characteristics indicating construction equipment would be less <br />energy-efficient than at comparable construction sites in the region or State. <br />Therefore, construction-related impacts would be less than significant. The <br />proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact <br />that was not previously identified and disclosed in the Prior FEIR. No further <br />analysis is required.
