The proposed Project is located in an urbanized <br />Transportation. <br />environment and would include short- and long-term bicycle parking and <br />Promote use of alternate modes of <br />would construct EV charging stations in accordance with the most current <br />transportation in the City of Santa <br />and applicable Title 24 standards and CALGreen, as well as provide <br />Ana, including pedestrian, bicycling, <br />vanpool/carpool parking spaces. Additionally, the Project Site would be <br />public transportation, car sharing <br />served by existing bus stops along West Macarthur Boulevard, which <br />programs and emerging technologies. <br />could encourage the use of public transportation. As such, the Project is <br />consistent with this policy. <br />Policy CN 1.12 Sustainable <br />Consistent. The Project would incorporate features that would <br />Infrastructure. <br />encourage the use of sustainable forms of transportation. As previously <br />Encourage the use of low or zero <br />discussed, the Project would construct short- and long-term bicycle <br />emission vehicles, bicycles, non- <br />parking spaces, EV charging stations, and vanpool/carpool parking <br />motorized vehicles, and car -sharing <br />spaces. Additionally, the Project Site would be served by existing bus <br />programs by supporting new and <br />stops along West Macarthur Boulevard, which could encourage the use <br />existing development that includes <br />of public transportation. As such, the Project is consistent with this policy. <br />sustainable infrastructure and <br />strategies such as vehicle charging <br />stations, drop-off areas for ridesharing <br />services, secure bicycle parking, and <br />transportation demand management <br />programs. <br />Goal CN-3: Energy Resources. Reduce consumption of and reliance on nonrenewable energy, and support the <br />development and use of renewable energy sources. <br />Policy CN-3.5 Site Design. <br />Consistent. According to the Project applicant, the proposed Project <br />Encourage site planning and <br />would exceed the most current Title 24 (i.e., 2022 Title 24) by <br />subdivision design that incorporates <br />approximately 10 percent, which would help reduce energy consumption <br />the use of renewable energy systems. <br />and reduce GHG emissions. Additionally, the Project would also include <br />solar -ready roofs for all buildings. As such, the Project would be <br />consistent with this policy. <br />Policy CN 3.5 Landscaping. <br />Consistent. The proposed Project would incorporate landscaping <br />Promote and encourage the planting <br />throughout the site, primarily along the perimeter of the site and parking <br />of native and diverse tree species to <br />lot.

As such, the Project would be consistent with <br />and contribute to carbon mitigation <br />this policy. <br />with special focus in environmental <br />justice areas. <br />Policy CN-3.7 Energy Conservation <br />Consistent. According to the Project plans, the proposed Project would <br />Design and Construction. <br />exceed the most current Title 24 (i.e., 2022 Title 24) by approximately 10 <br />Incorporate energy conservation <br />percent, which would help reduce energy consumption and reduce GHG <br />features in the design of new <br />emissions. Additionally, the Project would include solar -ready roofs for all <br />construction and rehabilitation <br />buildings. As such, the Project would be consistent with this policy. <br />projects. <br />Goal CN-4: Water Resources. Conserve and replenish existing and future water resources. <br />Policy CN 4.1 Water Use. Encourage <br />Consistent. The proposed Project would incorporate features that would <br />and educate residents, business <br />reduce water usage. Specifically, the Project would include low -flow <br />owners, and operators of public <br />fixtures that would reduce excessive use of water throughout the Project <br />facilities to use water wisely and <br />Site, water efficient irrigation, and incorporate drought -tolerant plants. As <br />efficiently. <br />such, the Project would be consistent with these policies. <br />Policy CN 4.2 Landscaping. <br />Encourage public and private property <br />owners to plant native or drought - <br />tolerant vegetation. <br />Policy CN 4.4 Irrigation Systems. <br />Promote irrigation and rainwater <br />capture systems that conserve water <br />to support a sustainable community. <br />July 2024 Page 61 <br />
