Mitigated Negative Declaration Noise Mitigation Measure NOI-1: The applicant shall be required to submit to Planning Services for review and approval prior to issuance of Building Permits, a detailed analysis of noise reduction measures to be incorporated into the project. The analysis shall identify noise- reducing building materials, such as windows and doors with high Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings or forced-air mechanical ventilation systems. Mitigation Measure NOI-2:The following construction noise control measures shall be implemented to limit the amount of noise generated during the construction period. These measures would mitigate the impact to a less-than-significant level: a) Limit construction to daytime hours (8 AM to 5 PM) Monday through Friday, with no construction activities on weekends or holidays per Section 24.32 of the City of Redwood Municipal Code. b) Construction activities or equipment shall not generate noise levels exceeding 110 dBA per Section 24.31 of the City of Redwood Municipal Code. c) Utilize "quiet" models of air compressors and other stationary noise sources where technology exists. d) Prohibit unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines. e) Equip all internal combustion engine driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. f) Locate stationary noise generating equipment as far as feasible from noise sensitive receptors. g) Designate a noise disturbance coordinator who would be responsible for responding to any local complaints about construction noise. The disturbance coordinator would determine the cause of the noise complaints (e.g.,starting too early,bad muffler,etc.) and institute reasonable measures to correct the problem. h) Conspicuously post a telephone number for the disturbance coordinator at the construction-site and with the City. Traffic and Transportation Mitigation Measures TRAF-1:Prior to the issuance of Building Permits,the applicant shall submit project plans to the City's Fire Marshall for review to determine that all roadway surface areas and turning radii conform to standards for emergency vehicle access.Roadways to be used for emergency vehicle access shall be marked as fire lanes and marked in accordance with Section 22500.1 of the California Vehicle Code. Utilities and Service Systems Mitigation Measure UTIL-1:Prior to the issuance of Grading and Encroachment Permits, the applicant shall prepare a Water System Study of the existing 6-inch water main in Kentfield Avenue to determine if the existing flow and pressure are adequate to serve domestic needs and fire flow requirements of the proposed project. If the Water System Study determines the existing water main is inadequate to service the project, the applicant shall upgrade the La Palma Subdivision Project Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 8
