The project as designed takes into account noise impacts relative to surrounding residential development. A noise study was prepared to evaluate potential noise impacts during the project consideration. The project parking is located underground. The trash room and loading area are accessed from Diller St. and are buffered by amenity and utility rooms to reduce impacts to residential units on the subject project. In addition, the proposed residential development at 1305 El Camino Real has ground level parking and their garage entrance in a similar location. - Policy PS13-5: Limit the hours of operation at all noise generation sources that are adjacent to noise sensitive areas, wherever practical. The project is subject to the Nosie Ordinance. As such, construction hours are limited to 7 am – 8 pm, Monday through Friday except as otherwise permitted by the City. The residential and retail uses would also be subject to the maximum decibel levels as outlined in the Nosie Ordinance. - Policy PS13-6: Require all exterior noise sources (construction operations, air compressors, pumps, fans, and leaf blowers) to use available noise suppressions devices and techniques to bring exterior noise down to acceptable levels that are compatible with adjacent land uses. The project is subject to mitigation measures and conditions of approval, which mitigate noise impacts, including noise suppression devices and techniques. Prior to permit issuance, the City requires a construction plan, construction scheduling, construction equipment mufflers and maintenance, equipment locators, routing construction traffic, quiet equipment selection, temporary barriers, temporary noise blankets and hiring a noise disturbance coordinator. - Policy PS-13.7: Require that mixed‐use structures be designed to account for noise from adjacent uses, and minimize transfer of noise and vibration from commercial/retail to residential use. The project as designed takes into account noise impacts relative to surrounding residential development. A noise study was prepared to evaluate potential noise impacts during the project consideration. The retail uses are located at the corners and generally buffered by utility or amenity spaces to mitigate potential impacts to residential uses. - Policy PS-13.8: Implement appropriate standard construction noise controls for all construction projects. The project is subject to the City’s Nosie Ordinance and Title 24 standards. Noise reduction measures necessary to achieve compatibility with the City’s Noise Element guidelines (55 dBA C8EL at sensitive exterior spaces) and Title 24 standards (45 dBA C8EL within residential units) will be incorporated into the 8.A. - Page 79
