6 – Other CEQA Considerations Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 6-4 Consistent with PRC Section 21100(b)(3), Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, and a ruling set forth by the court in California Clean Energy Committee v. City of Woodland, potentially significant energy implications of a project must be considered in an EIR to the extent relevant and applicable to that project. Accordingly, based on the energy consumption thresholds set forth in both Appendix F and Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, the Project’s estimated energy demands (both short-term construction and long-term operational demands) were evaluated (see Section 4.4, Energy, of the this Draft EIR). The overall purpose of the energy analysis was to evaluate whether the Project would result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy. As further assessed in the energy analysis, for new development, such as that proposed by the Project, compliance with California Title 24 energy efficiency requirements is considered demonstrable evidence of efficient use of energy. The Project would provide for and promote energy efficiencies beyond those required under other applicable federal and state standards and regulations, and in so doing would meet or exceed all Title 24 standards. On this basis, the Project would not result in the inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of energy. 6.3 Significant and Unavoidable Impacts Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2(b), an EIR must address any significant environmental impacts, including those that can be mitigated but not reduced to less than significant as a result of implementation of a project. As discussed in the Section 4.1, Air Quality, of this Draft EIR, at the project and cumulative levels, operation - generated emissions would exceed the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s threshold of significance for oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Even with incorporation of the mitigation identified in this Draft EIR, operation NOx emissions would still exceed San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s threshold, and impacts would be significant and unavoidable. For all other environmental issue areas, the Project would result in either less-than- significant impacts or no impact. 6.4 References Cited County of San Joaquin. 2016.
