The Modified Project would have less <br />building area and soil hauling than the Original Project, and it would require less electricity and <br />transportation fuel during construction. Overall, a 1.2 percent increase in the number of residential units <br />with the Modified Project would not result in more inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of <br />energy resources than similar projects and would not cause a new conflict with or obstruct a state or local <br />plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. The Modified Project would not conflict with the City <br />CAP. Therefore, taking together both short-term impacts related to energy use during project <br />construction and long-term impacts related to energy use at the project site, the Modified Project would <br />not result in a new impact or in a substantial increase in magnitude of existing impacts resulting in <br />potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of <br />energy resources, during project construction or operation.
