23. Page 10-5, I have no understanding why the word "Community: remains in black. (Redlined copy) Thank you for catching this error. Staff has changed the paragraph to include "community" in redline along with the rest of the paragraph. Community Choice Aaareaation: 24. Will the city council review this and make a decision before the GP is adoptedi' The council will probably not do this before adopting the General Plan. Transaortafion EnerpY• 25. Too much space between sentences 3 and 4~ Yes, thank you fox catching that. 26. Are we talking about fossil fuels$ If so, why not just say it$ The discussion is about future vehicle fuel sources which include bio-diesel, hydrogen, and alcohol. 27. Is there also a lack of money to reduce congestion by building more capacity on state and federal roadwaysi! This is a complex issue. Just building more lanes and roadways may temporarily reduce congestion and incrementally reduce congestion-related energy usage. In the long term congestion can return, depending on growth rates and land-use policies. Road building may also encourage more people to drive instead of taking alternative travel modes. Alternative modes of travel reduce energy usage, while single-occupancy travel generally does not. If more people drive, even if each trip uses less energy due to reduced congestion, the total of the new trips may use more energy. l~isua/ /maacls: 28. Too much space between sentences two and three. It just looks that way, but there are only two spaces. Re/ationshia to Other E/ements: 29. This and the following statement are missing from the clean copy. We do not know what is missing. "Relationship to Other Elements" is in the clean copy. Land Use E/ement.• 30. Second sentence should the word would be removed and replaced with "all"~ The Council could change the second sentence under Land Use Element as follows: "Land use objectives relating to density, neighborhood design, proximity to transit, proximity to shopping/employment, walkability, street layout, and construction techniques (green building) all~ret~l affect energy usage." 31. The last sentence is not written well. It could read;' The General Plan Land Use Element contains policies relating to mixed-use developments, high-density housing near transit facilities and retail development that is convenient to adjacent neighborhoods."
