V. Quiet Equipment Selection. Use quiet construction equipment, particularly air compressors, wherever possible. vi. Temporary Barriers. Construct solid plywood fences around construction sites adjacent to operational business, residences or noise -sensitive land uses. vii. Temporary Noise Blankets. Temporary noise control blanket barrier could be erected, if necessary, along building facades of construction sites. This mitigation would only be necessary if conflicts occurred which were irresolvable by proper scheduling. Noise control blanket barriers can be rented and quickly erected. viii. Noise Disturbance Coordinator. For larger construction projects, 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. Conspicuously post a telephone number for the Disturbance Coordinator at the construction site and include it in the notice sent to neighbors regarding the construction schedule. (The City should be responsible for designating a Noise Disturbance Coordinator and the individual project sponsor should be responsible for posting the phone number and providing construction schedule notices.) n. Noise (Residential Noise Reduction) — Mitigation Measure #14: Site-specific noise studies shall be conducted for all new residential uses to identify appropriate noise reduction measures to be included in the final design, which may include the following: [COA][BUILDING] i. Utilize site planning to minimize noise in shared residential outdoor activity areas by locating the areas behind the buildings, in courtyards, or orienting the terraces to alleyways rather than streets, whenever possible. ii. Air conditioning should be provided in all units so that windows can remain closed to maintain interior noise levels below 45 dBA CNEL. iii. Residential units proposed within 100 feet of Veterans Boulevard centerline, where noise levels would exceed 70 dB CNEL, should incorporate sound -rated windows and construction methods. iv. A detailed analysis of residential interior noise levels shall be completed during design following the requirements of the 2001 California Building Code. The report will confirm that the design includes the noise control treatments necessary to achieve compliance with the noise standards.
