City of San Leandro 14143-14273 Washington Avenue Warehouse Project 60 Table 16 Project Consistency with the 2035 General Plan and Climate Action Plan Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Plan Proposed Project Consistency General Plan Policies Goal OSC-8: Energy. Promote the efficient use of energy and the increased use of renewable energy by San Leandro residents and businesses. Policy OSC-8.2: Planning and Building Practices. Encourage construction, landscaping, and site planning practices that minimize heating and cooling costs and ensure that energy is efficiently used. Local building codes and other City regulations and procedures should meet or exceed state and federal standards for energy conservation and efficiency and support the City’s greenhouse gas reduction goals. Consistent. The project would be required to comply with SLMC Chapter 7.5.7, which mandates the implementation of Title 24. The project would be required to use efficient lighting and appliances. EBCE and PG&E supply electricity in the city and they are required to generate electricity that would increase renewable energy resources to 60 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2045. EBCE already has an option with 100 percent renewable energy sources, which is the default option for businesses and residences. Because EBCE and PG&E would provide electricity service to the project site, the project would be consistent with the general plan’s goals and policies regarding energy efficiency and renewable energy mix. Climate Action Plan Measures Measure RE-1: Encourage San Leandro households and businesses to switch from PG&E electricity supplies to East Bay Community Energy, and commit to defaulting to Renewable 100 tier for 100-percent renewable energy.
