Individual
Responses

Comments
from
Organizations
and
State
of
California
and
any
future
development
of
the
Baylands
Project
site
would
be
required
to
comply
with
these
regulations,
which
include:
The
federal
Energy
Independence
and
Security
Act
of
2007
that
requires
increased
vehicular
fuel
efficiency
for
cars
and
light
trucks
by
the
year
2020.
In
addition
to
vehicular
fuel
efficiency,
the
regulation
includes
renewable
fuel
standards,
appliance
and
lighting
fixture
efficiencies,
and
building
energy
efficiency.
California
Green
Building
Standards
Code
(Title
24
California
Code
of
Regulations
[CCR]
Part
11),
also
known
as
the
CALGreen
Code,
which
establishes
mandatory
minimum
green
building
standards
as
well
as
voluntary
packages
of
green
actions.
Specific
energy
efficiency
standards
apply
to
all
residential
and
non-residential
buildings,
per
Title
24
California
Code
of
Regulations
[CCR]
Part
6.
California’s
Appliance
Efficiency
Regulations

CCR
Part
160-1608)
Executive
Order
S-14-08,
signed
by
then-Governor
Arnold
Schwarzenegger
in
2008,
which
established
a
Renewable
Portfolio
Standard
(RPS)
target
for
California
that
requires
all
retail
sellers
of
electricity
to
serve
33
percent
of
their
load
with
renewable
energy
by
2020.
Senate
Bill
(SB)
1078,
which
established
an
RPS
for
electricity
supply.
The
RPS
requires
that
retail
sellers
of
electricity
provide
20
percent
of
their
supply
from
renewable
sources
by
2017.
This
was
amended
in
2011
by
SB
X1-2
to
increase
the
amount
of
electricity
generated
from
eligible
renewable
energy
resources
per
year,
so
that
amount
equals
at
least
33
percent
of
total
retail
sales
of
electricity
in
California
per
year
by
December
31,
2020.
Senate
Bill
(SB)
1389,
the
California
Integrated
Energy
Policy
,
was
adopted
in
August
2002
and
requires
the
California
Energy
Commission
(CEC)
to
prepare
an
Integrated
Energy
Policy
Report
(IEPR)
for
electricity,
natural
gas,
and
transportation
fuels.
Executive
Order
S-03-05
mandates
that
California
emit
80
percent
fewer
greenhouse
gases
in
2050
than
it
emitted
in
1990.
Executive
Order
S-14-08,
which
raises
California’s
renewable
energy
goals
to
33
percent
by
2020.
As
required
by
CEQA,
the
Draft
EIR
analyzes
the
anticipated
changes
to
the
environment
that
would
result
from
Project
Site
development.
In
relation
to
Impact
4.P-1
(project
construction)
and
Impact
4.P-2
(onsite
operations),
the
Draft
EIR
evaluate
whether
the
manner
in
which
proposed
Baylands
development
would
consume
energy
resources,
rather
than
the
energy
efficiency
of
the
statewide
and
national
energy
transmission
systems
over
which
the
proposed
Project
Site
development
has
no
control
and
would
not
change
in
any
manner.
