sequencing to the maximum extent practicable to provide for smooth transitions between adjacent projects during all phases of construction, to reduce impacts to public access (vehicular and pedestrian) during construction, and to avoid reconstruction of recently constructed improvements. [SDR][ENGINEERING] a. The construction activities shall not impact adjoining properties, including ingress egress operations, without providing adequate planning for fire protection and life safety. All planning efforts shall be agreed to by the adjoining property owners and approved by the fire and building departments. 73. Construction Noise — The applicant shall comply with the following construction- period noise abatement measures: [SDR][BUILDING] a. Construction Plan. Prepare a detailed construction plan identifying the schedule for major noise-generating construction activities. The construction plan shall identify a procedure for coordination with nearby noise-sensitive facilities so that construction activities and the event schedule can be scheduled to minimize noise disturbance. This plan shall be provided to all noise-sensitive land uses within 500 feet of the construction site. b. Construction Equipment Mufflers and Maintenance. Equip all internal combustion engine-driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. c. Equipment Locations. Locate stationary noise-generating equipment required on construction project sites as far as possible from sensitive receptors when sensitive receptors adjoin or are near a construction project site. d. Quiet Equipment Selection. Use quiet construction equipment, particularly air compressors, wherever feasible. e. Temporary Barriers. Construct solid plywood fences around construction sites adjacent to residences, operational businesses, or noise-sensitive land uses. f. Temporary Noise Blankets. Temporary noise control blanket barriers should be erected along building facades of construction sites to attenuate noise from elevated activities if noise conflicts cannot be resolved by scheduling. (Noise control blanket barriers can be rented and quickly erected.) g. Noise Disturbance Coordinator. For projects that would last over one year in duration, the City may choose to require project designation of 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 complaint (e.g., starting too early, bad muffler, etc.) and institute reasonable measures to correct the problem. Post in a conspicuous location a telephone number for the Disturbance Coordinator at the construction site and include it in the notice sent to neighbors regarding the construction schedule.
