12/17/2007 areas shall be irrigated and maintained as necessary to ensure the long-term survival of the vegetation. Findings: Implementation of Mitigation Measure 11-6 is feasible and would reduce this potential impact to a less-than-significant level. IX. PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY A. Safety Impacts Related to San Carlos Airport Potential Impact 12-1: The proposed project would introduce new development and approximately 1,660 full-time residents within the restricted height area of the San Carlos Airport planning area. This could represent a potentially significant impact. Mitigation: In addition to the project review required by C/CAG per PUC section 21670 et seq., the applicant must submit a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration (FAA Form 7460-1) to the FAA for airspace review. If the proposed project structures are deemed to be obstructions to air navigation, specific mitigation measures required by the FAA shall be implemented to ensure that navigation is not obstructed. The Avigation Easement signed by the project applicant and the San Carlos Airport Pilots Association on August 2, 2007 constitutes a "buyer awareness measure" and requires transfer of appropriate disclosure documents to buyers and renters which include an acknowledgment of potential nuisance and safety issues associated with property ownership and tenancy in proximity to a general aviation facility. The transfer of mandatory disclosure documents would be completed as part of the required California Department of Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) given to all prospective buyers and renters. Findings: Implementation of Mitigation Measure 12-1 would reduce safety impacts related to the San Carlos Airport to a less-than-significant level. X. NOISE AND VIBRATION A. Proiect Compatibilitv with the Existina and Proiected Noise Environment Potential Impact 13-1: Project residential units located in the tallest structures would be up to ten stories above ground level. Residences on the uppermost stories of these structures would not be shielded from distant noise sources (e.g., U.S. 101) by intervening buildings or terrain. Noise levels at the facades of the uppermost residences would be expected to be greater than 60 dBA CNEL due primarily to freeway and aviation noise. This condition would therefore represent a potentially significant impact. Mitigation 13-1: Conduct and submit an acoustical study for the project multifamily residential component in accordance with State Title 24 requirements. The study report shall identify to the satisfaction of the City's Building Department noise insulation features and other elements (e.g., forced-air mechanical ventilation, sound-rated windows) to be included in the design of the project residential structures sufficient to maintain interior noise levels at or below City and State standards (45 Ldn). This report shall be submitted to and approved by the Building Department prior to issuance of a residential building permit. Atty/Reso/Reso.1772 121707 38 14829 Muff# 613
