Current on-site operational energy use from existing land uses includes an estimated <br />1,866,820 kWh of electricity and an estimated 387,495 kBTU of natural gas on an annual basis. The <br />proposed project would consume an additional 10,679,760 kWh of electricity and 496,569 kBTU of <br />natural gas for 1 year of project operations compared to existing uses. The proposed project’s <br />buildings would be designed and constructed in accordance with the City’s latest adopted energy <br />efficiency standards, which are based on the State’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards. These are <br />widely regarded as the most advanced building energy efficiency standards and compliance would <br />ensure that building energy consumption would not be wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary. <br />Project-related vehicle trips would consume an estimated 419,851 gallons of gasoline and diesel <br />annually. Current estimated operational vehicle trips from existing on-site uses consume an <br />estimated 56,592 gallons of fuel (gasoline and diesel combined) annually. The proposed project is <br />located in an urbanized portion of the City of Pleasanton. Regional access to the project site is <br />provided via Interstate 680 (I-680), which is approximately 0.3 mile east of the project site. Also, the <br />project site is approximately 0.5 miles from the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station, and <br />approximately 0.1 mile from Routes 3 and 53 of Tri-Valley Wheels bus stops, which provide service to <br />the project site and BART Station. The proposed project would further support alternative modes of <br />transportation by including 6 percent of parking as Electric Vehicle (EV) capable and facilitating <br />pedestrian connectivity to adjacent land uses. Thus, transportation fuel consumption would not be <br />wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary. Impacts would be less than significant. <br />b) Conflict with or obstruct a State or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? <br />Construction <br />Less than significant impact. During the construction phase, the proposed project would adhere to <br />California regulations (CCR Title 13, Sections 2449 and 2485) limit idling from both on-road and off-
