SANTA ANA REZONE PROJECT <br /> INITIAL. STUDYIMITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION <br /> the applicable provisions of the 2022 CBC (Title 24, Part 6—California Energy Code), which <br /> mandates energy-efficient lighting technologies, controls, and performance thresholds. Therefore, the <br /> operational impacts related to energy consumption would be less than significant. <br /> b) Conflict with or obstruct a State or local plan for renewable energy or energy <br /> efficiency? <br /> No impact.A discussion of the proposed project's potential to conflict with or obstruct a State or local <br /> plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency is presented below. <br /> Construction <br /> As described above, construction activities would involve energy consumption in various forms and <br /> would be limited by California regulations such as California Code of Regulations Title 13, Sections <br /> 2449(d)(3) and 2485, which limit idling from both on-road and off-road diesel-powered equipment and <br /> are enforced by the ARB. The proposed project would be required to comply with these regulations. <br /> There are no renewable energy standards applicable to construction activities for the proposed <br /> project. <br /> Thus, it is anticipated that construction of the proposed project would not conflict with any applicable <br /> plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing energy use or increasing the use of <br /> renewable energy. Therefore, there would be no impact. <br /> Operation <br /> Additionally, the proposed project would consume electricity delivered by a California utility during <br /> operation.According to SB 100, California's Renewables Portfolio Standard (RIPS) requires that 100 <br /> percent of electricity retail sales in California be sourced with renewable energy sources by 2045. <br /> SCE would provide the delivery of electricity to the proposed project through the existing grid. SB 32 <br /> mandates a Statewide GHG emissions reduction goal to 40 percent below 1990 levels by the year <br /> 2030. Further, Executive Order B-55-18 establishes a new statewide goal to achieve carbon neutrality <br /> by 2045 at the latest and maintain net negative emissions after 2045. Therefore, the proposed project <br /> would receive electricity from a utility company that meets California's RPS requirements as well as <br /> the State requirements through 2045. <br /> In addition, the proposed project would be designed and constructed in accordance with the <br /> applicable State's Title 24 energy efficiency standards. Part 11, Chapter 4 and 5 of the State Title 24 <br /> energy efficiency standards establishes mandatory measures for nonresidential buildings, including <br /> material conservation and resource efficiency. The proposed project would be required to comply with <br /> these mandatory measures and would be constructed in accordance with City standards. Thus, the <br /> proposed project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the <br /> purpose of reducing energy use or increasing the use of renewable energy. There would be no <br /> impact. <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> None required. <br /> So ���^ ��((�� FCS <br /> Ordinance No. [wAegsy�3dNeV�vations.sharepuint.com/slteslPublleatiansSte/shared Documents/Publications/[Iient(PN-IN)/0327103279 7/ISMND/032700475an1a Ana U.-Proje 15MNO.d— <br /> Page 62 of 118 <br />
