Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 5.0 Growth Effects and Other CEQA SectionsTable 5-6Project Consistency with Applicable Climate Action TeamGreenhouse Gas Emission Reduction StrategiesStrategyProject Consistencystandards (that apply to newly constructed buildings andadditions to and alterations to existing buildings).Appliance Energy Efficiency Standards in Place and inProgressPublic Resources Code 25402 authorizes the EnergyCommission to adopt and periodically update its applianceenergy efficiency standards (that apply to devices andequipment using energy that are sold or offered for sale inCalifornia).Fuel-Efficient Replacement Tires & Inflation ProgramsState legislation established a statewide program toencourage the production and use of more efficient tires.Municipal Utility Energy Efficiency Programs/DemandResponseIncludes energy efficiency programs, renewable portfoliostandard, combined heat and power, and transitioning awayfrom carbon-intensive generation.Municipal Utility Renewable Portfolio StandardCalifornia’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), establishedin 2002, requires that all load serving entities achieve a goalof 20 percent of retail electricity sales from renewable energysources by 2017, within certain cost constraints.Municipal Utility Combined Heat and PowerCost effective reduction from fossil fuel consumption in thecommercial and industrial sector through the application ofon-site power production to meet both heat and electricityloads.Alternative Fuels: Non-Petroleum FuelsIncreasing the use of non-petroleum fuels in California’stransportation sector, as recommended as recommended inthe CEC’s 2003 and 2005 Integrated Energy Policy Reports.ConsistentUnder State law, appliances that are purchased for anydevelopment under the Project - both pre- and post-development– would be consistent with energy efficiency standards that are ineffect at the time of manufacture.ConsistentResidents of the Project Area site could purchase tires for theirvehicles that comply with state programs for increased fuelefficiency.Not applicable, but the Project would not preclude theimplementation of this strategy by municipal utility providers.Not applicable, but the Project would not preclude theimplementation of this strategy by Southern California Edison.Not applicable since this strategy addresses incentives that couldbe provided by utility providers such as Southern CaliforniaEdison and The Gas Company.ConsistentResidents of the Project Area could purchase alternative fuelvehicles and utilize these fuels once they are commerciallyavailable in the region and local vicinity.Business, Transportation and HousingMeasures to Improve Transportation Energy EfficiencyBuilds on current efforts to provide a framework for expandedand new initiatives including incentives, tools and informationthat advance cleaner transportation and reduce climatechange emissions.Smart Land Use and Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS)Smart land use strategies encourage jobs/housing proximity,promote transit-oriented development, and encourage highdensityresidential/commercial development along transitcorridors.ITS is the application of advanced technology systems andmanagement strategies to improve operational efficiency ofConsistentThe proposed Project seeks to guide development in an areaunderutilized in the region; existing and potential developmentswould have readily available access to SR 126, which couldreduce the lengths of regional vehicle trips. Additionally, theProject promotes walkability and bicycling as a mode oftransportation and participates in the CIDS improvements for theSaticoy and Wells communities.ConsistentDevelopment under the proposed Project would locate newresidences in relatively close proximity to commercial areas withinthe Saticoy and Wells communities. The Project also allows for amix of residential and retail uses including some live-workopportunities that would cut down on vehicular trips. The ProjectArea would have readily available access to SR 126, therebyimproving the efficiency of goods movement. The Project isdesigned to interconnect six distinct neighborhoods in the Wells-5-19City of Ventura
Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 5.0 Growth Effects and Other CEQA SectionsTable 5-6Project Consistency with Applicable Climate Action TeamGreenhouse Gas Emission Reduction StrategiesStrategytransportation systems and movement of people, goods andservices.The Governor is finalizing a comprehensive 10-year strategicgrowth plan with the intent of developing ways to promote,through state investments, incentives and technicalassistance, land use, and technology strategies that providefor a prosperous economy, social equity and a qualityenvironment.Project ConsistencySaticoy community, providing additional housing and commercialdevelopment opportunities in an area where infrastructure alreadyexists. The Project would help guide future development in thearea while ensuring efficient land use and a circulation systemthat effectively moves people, goods and services.Smart land use, demand management, ITS, and valuepricing are critical elements in this plan for improving mobilityand transportation efficiency. Specific strategies include:promoting jobs/housing proximity and transit-orienteddevelopment; encouraging high densityresidential/commercial development along transit/railcorridor; valuing and congestion pricing; implementingintelligent transportation systems, traveler information/trafficcontrol, incident management; accelerating the developmentof broadband infrastructure; and comprehensive, integrated,multimodal/intermodal transportation planning.State and Consumer Services AgencyGreen Buildings InitiativeGreen Building Executive Order, S-20-04 (CA 2004), sets agoal of reducing energy use in public and private buildings by20 percent by the year 2015, as compared with 2003 levels.The Executive Order and related action plan spell outspecific actions state agencies are to take with state-ownedand -leased buildings. The order and plan also discussvarious strategies and incentives to encourage privatebuilding owners and operators to achieve the 20 percenttarget.ConsistentAs discussed previously, any development under the Projectwould be required to be constructed in compliance with thestandards of Title 24 that are in effect at the time of development.The 2005 Title 24 standards are approximately 8.5% moreefficient than the 2001 standards.Public Utilities Commission (PUC)Accelerated Renewable Portfolio StandardThe Governor has set a goal of achieving 33 percentrenewable in the State’s resource mix by 2020. The jointPUC/Energy Commission September 2005 Energy ActionPlan II (EAP II) adopts the 33 percent goal.California Solar InitiativeThe solar initiative includes installation of 1 million solar roofsor an equivalent 3,000 MW by 2017 on homes andbusinesses, increased use of solar thermal systems to offsetthe increasing demand for natural gas, use of advancedmetering in solar applications, and creation of a fundingsource that can provide rebates over 10 years through adeclining incentive schedule.Not applicable, but the Project would not preclude theimplementation of this strategy by energy providers.ConsistentAlthough development is not proposed as part of the Project, it isrecommended that the developers of future projects under theProject consider the installation and use of solar equipment.5-20City of Ventura
