South Coast Technology Center Project <br />CEQA Exemption 15183 <br />waste from landfills, and incorporate electric vehicles charging infrastructure. Specifically, the <br />Project would install energy efficient appliances and high efficiency appliances. Implementation <br />of the most current Title 24 standards would substantially reduce energy usage. Additionally, per <br />the RPS, the Project would utilize electricity that would achieve 60 percent of total procurement <br />by 2030, and 100 percent renewable energy by 2045. As such, the Project would comply with <br />state energy plans including the 2023 IEPR, the most current Title 24, as well as the CALGreen <br />Code, and California's RPS. In addition, the Project's proposed industrial use is consistent with <br />the Project Site's Industrial land use designation in the City's General Plan. Therefore, the <br />proposed Project would be consistent with the City's General Plan Update, including the goals <br />and policies related to energy and energy efficiency. As discussed above, the GPU PEIR <br />determined that the City's General Plan Update is consistent with California's RPS and the City's <br />CAP for reducing energy usage and implementing energy efficiency, and impacts would be less <br />than significant. Moreover, the Project would be required to comply with RR E-1 through RR E-1 <br />identified in the GPU PEIR. Therefore, since the proposed Project is consistent with the General <br />Plan Update, the Project would also be consistent with California's RPS and the City's CAP. <br />Therefore, consistent with the GPU PEIR, the proposed Project would not conflict with or obstruct <br />a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency and impacts would be less than <br />significant. Based on the above, the Project would not result in new or substantially more severe <br />impacts compared to the determinations of the GPU PEIR, which concluded that impacts related <br />to the conflict or obstruction of a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency <br />would be less than significant. Therefore, no new project -specific mitigation measures are <br />required. <br />4.6.3 Conclusion <br />The Project is consistent with the General Plan Update. With implementation of RR E-1 through <br />RR E-5 and RR E-7, the proposed Project would not have any specific effects which are peculiar <br />to the Project or the Project Site. There are no project -specific impacts or potentially significant <br />off -site or cumulative impacts that the GPU PEIR did not analyze, and there are no new significant <br />or substantially more severe energy impacts than anticipated by the GPU PEIR. <br />4.6.4 Applicable GPU PEIR Regulatory Requirements/Mitigation Measures: <br />RR E-1 Construction activities will be conducted in compliance with California Code of <br />Regulations Section 2485, which requires that nonessential idling of construction <br />equipment be restricted to five minutes or less. <br />RR E-2 At least 65 percent of all nonhazardous construction and demolition waste from <br />nonresidential construction associated with future development in the plan area <br />shall be recycled and/or salvaged for reuse in line with the 2016 California Green <br />Building Standards Code Section 5.408 (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, <br />Part 11). <br />RR E-3 New buildings implemented as part of the General Plan Update are required to <br />achieve the current California Building Energy and Efficiency Standards (California <br />Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6) and California Green Building Standards <br />Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 11). <br />RR E-4 Any appliances associated with development in the Plan Area shall meet the <br />requirements of the 2012 Appliance Efficiency Regulations. <br />July 2024 Page 46 <br />
