ATTACHMENT 11 <br /> General Plan Conformity <br /> In 2010, the City adopted a new General Plan. The General Plan assessed current <br /> codes and projected Goals and Policies to reduce environment impacts created by <br /> development projects. Staff has reviewed the proposed amendments and believes <br /> that they conform to the current General Plan and support several of its programs <br /> including, but not limited to the following Water (W), Air Quality and Climate <br /> Change (AQ &CC), and Energy (E) Goals, Policies, and Programs of the 2005- <br /> 2025 General Plan: <br /> • W Program 1.10: During construction or reconstruction of public facilities, <br /> institute water conservation measures such as hot -on- demand water faucets, <br /> low -flush toilets, low water -using appliances, and low water -using irrigation <br /> devices and /or water conserving landscape. <br /> Staff believes that CALGreen will support this program with the mandatory <br /> measures that require a reduction in water use of 20% and electives that <br /> specify low -flow toilets, as well as moisture sensing irrigation systems for <br /> large scale (non - residential) irrigation projects. <br /> • W Goal 7: Reduce stormwater runoff and maximize infiltration of naturally - <br /> occurring rainwater so as to improve surface and subsurface water quality. <br /> Staff believes that CALGreen will support this goal with the mandatory <br /> measures stormwater retention and management in compliance with the <br /> Alameda County Stormwater Permit to which the City is a party. <br /> • AQ &CC Goal 1: Implement a proactive approach, and use available <br /> technology to maintain and improve air quality within Pleasanton and the <br /> region to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. <br /> Staff believes that CALGreen will support this goal with the mandatory <br /> measures and elective measures that will reduce emission generated by the <br /> construction operations, the built structure through its requirements for low <br /> emission products, and the operations within the structures, thus improving <br /> the air quality within Pleasanton. <br /> • AQ &CC Goal 2: Promote sustainable development and planning to minimize <br /> additional air emissions. <br /> Staff believes that CALGreen will continue to support this goal with the <br /> mandatory measures and elective measures that will reduce emission <br /> generated by the construction operations, the built structure through its <br />
