MINERAL RESOURCES --Would Potentially Less Than Less Than No <br /> the project: Significant Significant Significant Impact <br /> Impact with Impact <br /> Mitigation <br /> Incorporation <br /> a) Result in the loss of availability of a ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> known mineral resource that would be of <br /> value to the region and the residents of the <br /> state? <br /> b) Result in the loss of availability of a ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> locally-important mineral resource <br /> recovery site delineated on a local general <br /> plan, specific plan or other land use plan? <br /> 2.12 NOISE <br /> The Noise Technical Report provides background explanation of noise characteristics, typical levels, <br /> and key terms,describes background noise levels in the project area, summarizes the applicable <br /> regulations, evaluates the potential impacts of the project to sensitive receptors,and recommends <br /> mitigation measures for potentially significant impacts. Appendix J contains the Noise Technical <br /> Report for the US 101 Pedestrian Undercrossing and Bair Island Road Storm Drain Pump Station <br /> Project. <br /> The proposed project would be located in a noise environment highly influenced by the traffic on US <br /> 101. Other noise sources in the vicinity of the project are local streets and occasional aircraft. The <br /> surrounding land uses are compatible with this environment and include commercial (regional and <br /> office professional/technology), mixed-use districts (commercial and residential), and open space <br /> uses. Houseboats line Redwood Creek north of US 101. The nearest noise sensitive receptors south <br /> of US 101 are the residential district on Brewster Avenue more than 0.25 miles from the project, <br /> Kaiser Permanente Medical Center 0.3 miles away, and Orion Elementary School 0.4 miles away. <br /> The two districts adjacent to the project area,Mixed Use Waterfront Development north of the <br /> highway and Mixed Use Corridor south of the highway,are affected by traffic noise from US 101. <br /> The general plan requires that structures in these districts be designed to account for the background <br /> traffic noise. Residential units in both areas are currently under construction. <br /> The 2010 Redwood City General Plan adopts noise guidelines for land use planning and establishes <br /> "normally acceptable" and "conditionally acceptable" criteria for new development in different land <br /> use categories. The Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) noise levels,in decibels (dB), for <br /> the land uses in the vicinity of the project as follows. <br /> 2-51 US 101 Pedestrian Undercrossing and Bair <br /> Island Road Storm Drain Pump Station Project <br />
