4.4 – Energy <br />Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 <br />14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.4-17 <br />operation, the increased demand is anticipated to be minimal relative to statewide energy usage and, in <br />combination with the Project, would not contribute to any potentially significant cumulative energy impacts. <br />Furthermore, any commercial and residential cumulative projects that may take place in San Joaquin County that <br />include long-term energy demand would be subject to CALGreen, which provides energy efficiency standards. In <br />addition, cumulative projects would be required to meet or exceed the Title 24 building standards, as applicable, <br />further reducing the inefficient use of energy. Future development would also be required to meet even more <br />stringent requirements, including the objectives set forth in the AB 32 Scoping Plan, which seek to make all newly <br />constructed residential homes produce a sustainable amount of renewable energy through the use of on-site <br />photovoltaic solar systems. Furthermore, various federal and state regulations, including the Low Carbon Fuel <br />Standard, Pavley Clean Car Standards, and Low Emission Vehicle Program, would serve to reduce the transportation <br />fuel demand of cumulative projects. <br />For the reasons above, the Project, together with the cumulative projects, would not result in wasteful, inefficient, <br />or unnecessary use of energy, or conflict with applicable plans. Therefore, the Project, in combination with past, <br />present, and reasonably foreseeable future development, would not result in a significant cumulative impact related <br />to energy, and the impact would be less than significant. <br />4.4.5 Mitigation Measures <br />No mitigation measures are required. <br />4.4.6 Level of Significance After Mitigation <br />Threshold A: Would the Project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or <br />unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during Project construction or operation? <br />The Project would have a less-than-significant impact with regard to the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary <br />consumption of energy resources during Project construction and operation. No mitigation is required. <br />Threshold B: Would the Project conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? <br />The Project would not conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency , and <br />impacts would be less than significant. No mitigation is required. <br />Threshold C: Would the Project result in a cumulatively considerable energy impact? <br />The Project would have a less-than-significant impact with regards to cumulative energy impacts. No mitigation <br />is required. <br />4.4.7 References Cited <br />CAPCOA (California Air Pollution Control Officers Association). 2017.
