2.4 NOISE <br /> <br />2.4.1 Potential Effect: The Project will result in increased noise levels during <br /> construction. <br /> <br /> Findings: The GID hereby makes Findings (1) and (3). <br /> <br /> Facts in Support of Findings: <br /> <br /> (a) The Planned Development Permit requires the applicant to comply with <br /> Redwood City's Noise Ordinance for construction (No. 2013). Compliance with <br /> this condition will reduce noise levels during construction, but will not eliminate <br /> noise completely. <br /> <br /> (b) The Statement of Overriding Considerations set forth in Section 4 of this <br /> document contains additional information explaining the reasons for the GID's <br /> decision to approve the Project in spite of its environmental effects, and is hereby <br /> incorporated by reference. <br /> <br />2.5 TRAFFIC <br /> <br />2.5.1 Potential Effect: The Project will contribute to cumulative local and regional <br /> traffic impacts. <br /> <br /> Findings: The GID hereby makes Findings (1), (2) and (3). <br /> <br /> Facts in Support of Findings: <br /> <br /> (a) In addition to the Redwood Peninsula EIR, traffic impacts from the Project <br /> are evaluated in two reports: the Transportation Planning Study for the Redwood <br /> Shores/101 Corridor, prepared by Crain & Associates for the City in 1987 ("Crain <br /> Study"), and the Traffic Impacts Study for the Electronic Arts Master Plan, <br /> prepared by Fehr and Peers Associates for the City and dated November 15, 1995 <br /> ("Project Traffic Study"). The Cram Study is a comprehensive evaluation of <br /> circulation needs arising from the cumulative impacts of the buildout of Redwood <br /> Shores, San Carlos and Belmont. The study included recommendations which <br /> resulted in a transportation plan consisting of a combination of physical highway <br /> and surface street improvements, as well as a transportation management program <br /> to reduce peak period travel demand. <br /> <br /> (b) The Project Traffic Study evaluates conditions that have changed since the <br /> Crain Study was prepared and determines Project impacts. It finds that the <br /> Project will generate equal or less peak hour traffic than was analyzed in the Crain <br /> <br /> -6- <br />GIDEIRFD.DOC <br />7/23/96 5:44 PM <br /> <br /> <br />
