Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the City of Pleasanton Downtown Specific Plan <br /> Impact Mitigation Measure Method of Verification Timing of Responsibility for Verification Complete <br /> Verification Verification Date Initial <br /> energy efficient than the current <br /> Building and Energy Efficiency <br /> Standards; <br /> • Provide a 15-percent offset in <br /> building envelope energy use <br /> through use of renewable energy <br /> (e.g. photovoltaic,wind); <br /> • Provide a combination of energy <br /> reductions and renewable energy <br /> offsets to meet the overall 15- <br /> percent reduction in building energy <br /> use <br /> The I5-percent reduction in building <br /> envelope energy use shall be based on <br /> the current Building and Energy <br /> Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6,of <br /> the California Building Code)that is in <br /> place at the time building permits are <br /> submitted to the City.Architectural <br /> plans submitted to the City Building <br /> Division shall identify the requirement <br /> to reduce building energy use by IS <br /> percent and/or provide renewable <br /> energy to meet this requirement. <br /> c) Require applicants for non-residential <br /> projects that employ 20 of more <br /> people—which is equivalent to 12,000 <br /> square feet of retail space,6,000 square <br /> feet of office space, 20,000 square feet <br /> of industrial space, or 22 hotel rooms to <br /> implement an employee commute trip <br /> reduction (CTR) program.The CTR <br /> program shall identify alternative modes <br /> of transportation to the project, <br /> 8 <br />ductions should be <br /> achieved over baseline water use <br /> conditions in the City at the time of <br /> development. <br /> b) Require applicants for future projects <br /> within the planning area to implement <br /> one or more of the following energy <br /> efficiency measures: <br /> • Design individual habitable <br /> residential and non-residential <br /> structures to be 15 percent more <br /> 7 <br /><br /> residential,schools, hospitals, nursing <br /> homes), as measured from the property <br /> line of a proposed Project to the <br /> property line of the nearest sensitive <br /> 4 <br /> following consists of a monitoring program table noting the responsible entity for mitigation <br /> monitoring,the timing,and a list of all project-related mitigation measures. <br />ption of Statement of Overriding Considerations <br /> The City Council has weighed the economic,legal,social,technological,and other benefits of the proposed <br /> Plan,as set forth above in Section II.D,against the significant unavoidable impacts of the Plan identified in <br /> the Draft EIR(and discussed above in Section II.A). <br /> The City Council hereby determines that those benefits outweigh the risks and adverse environmental <br /> impacts of the Plan,and further determines that the Plan's significant unavoidable impacts are acceptable. <br /> Accordingly, the City Council adopts the Statement of Overriding Considerations, recognizing that <br /> significant unavoidable impacts will result from implementation of the Plan.Having(i)adopted all feasible <br /> mitigation measures,as stated herein and discussed in the Draft EIR;(ii) rejected alternatives to the Plan, <br /> as stated herein and discussed in the Draft EIR;and(iii) recognized the significant unavoidable impacts of <br /> the Plan, the City Council hereby finds that each of the separate benefits of the proposed Plan, as stated <br /> herein, is determined to be unto itself an overriding consideration, independent of other benefits, that <br /> warrants approval of the Plan and outweighs and overrides its significant unavoidable impacts,and thereby <br /> justifies the approval of the City of Pleasanton Downtown Specific Plan. <br /> 27 <br />would result in an operational emissions increase of 4,000 <br /> MTCO2e per year and an energy consumption increase of 168,000 million BTU per year compared <br /> to existing conditions. While the Plan would not be sufficient to align downtown Pleasanton's <br /> emissions trajectory with the goals established under SB 32 and EO S-3-05,implementation of the <br /> 26 <br />ntal <br /> 24 <br />iteria air pollutants <br /> 23 <br />
