project, such as prohibiting construction between the hours of 8:00 pm to 7:00 am and requiring noise suppression devices and techniques. - Policy PS-13.9: Require noise created by new non‐transportation noise sources to be mitigated so as not to exceed acceptable interior and exterior noise level standards. The project is subject to the City’s Nosie Ordinance and Title 24 standards. - Policy PS-13.10: Do not allow new residential or other noise sensitive land use development in noise impacted areas unless effective mitigation measures are incorporated into the project design to reduce outdoor activity area noise levels. The project is located within the DTPP area, which permits mixed use developments. The subject area generally consists of similar compatible uses, including mixed-use, residential, and commercial developments. The project is within 500 ft. of the CalTrain tracks, however the noise impacts were considered and found to be less than significant. Goal PS-14: Minimize the impacts of transportation‐related noise. - Policy PS14-4: Require development that is, or will be, affected by railroad noise and/or vibration to include appropriate measures to minimize adverse noise effects on residents and business persons. The project is within 500 ft. of the CalTrain tracks, however the project, as designed, will result in a less than significant impact related to noise effects. As the project is further than 100 feet from the centerline of the Caltrain tracks, no railroad vibration impact would occur. - Program PS-61: Acoustical Analyses. Require acoustical analyses, as appropriate, for proposed stand‐alone residential development within the 60 dB CNEL or higher contour, as shown in Figure PS‐ 12. Require incorporation of mitigation measures as necessary to reduce noise levels to levels deemed appropriate by the City. Since the project is within the 60 dB CNEL or higher contour, a site‐specific noise study was prepared for the project. While the project was found to have no significant impacts related to noise, noise reduction measures will be incorporated into the project 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). - Program PS-63: Enforcing Construction and Maintenance Noise Regulations. Minimize noise from property maintenance equipment, construction activities, and other non‐transportation noise sources by enforcing construction and 8.A. - Page 80
