This finding is based on the entire record of proceedings for the Project, including but not limited to the discussion and analysis set forth on pages 4.10-11 through 4.10-16 of the DEIR, which includes a full statement of the impact and applicable mitigation measures and is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. 14. Noise Impact NO -4: The project would cause a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. The overall duration of project construction (anticipated to be 4 years) would result in a significant impact. Mitigation Measures. Mitigation Measure NO -4 will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact NO -4. The City Council hereby finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measure NO -4 into the Project would substantially lessen the severity of Impact NO -4, such that this potential impact would be less titan significant, because this measure requires the Project to incorporate numerous noise -reducing practices into the construction contract agreement documents to be implemented by the construction contractor during the entire construction phase of the project, including the requirements to: (a) prepare a Construction Noise Control Plan; (b) limit the hours of construction; (c) notify all neighbors of the project site of planned construction activities; (d) post signs with contact information for persons with concerns about noise; (e) use best available noise control technology for all equipment and trucks; (f) avoid the use of pneumatic tools where feasible; (g) locate stationary noise sources as far as possible from sensitive noise receptors; (h) schedule especially noisy operations to overlap to limit their time durations and limit overall noise; and (i) select haul routes that avoid the greatest amount of sensitive use areas. This finding is based on the entire record of proceedings for the Project, including but not limited to the discussion and analysis set forth on pages 4.10-11 through 4.10-16 and 4.10-20 of the DEIR, which includes a full statement of the impact and applicable mitigation measures and is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. 15. Noise Impact NO -7: The Project, in combination with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects, would result in a significant cumulative impact with respect to noise due to increased traffic noise on Bay Road between Woodside Road and Chestnut Road. Mitigation Measures. No feasible mitigation measures are available to mitigate this cumulative impact. Although a sound wall could be built along the southern frontage of the Bay Road right-of-way to minimize this potentially significant traffic noise increase, for such a wall to be effective it would need to be constructed without gaps, which would not be feasible for site access reasons. In addition, such a sound wall could create secondary significant impacts relating to aesthetics and land use planning. Findings Regarding Impact NO -7.
