Completing energy efficient retrofits to existing residential, commercial, and municipal <br />buildings could potentially affect culturally- significant historical buildings. Some land use development <br />projects could also result in higher urban runoff and ambient noise levels, increases in population and <br />resulting needs for services, utilities, and infrastructure. <br />In addition to these potential impacts on the physical environment, implementation of the CAP could also <br />result in the need to amend some City planning documents and regulations, such as the General Plan, the <br />Zoning Ordinance, and Specific Plans. <br />Page 10 October 2015 <br />75B -108 <br />
