7.C. - Page 31 of 178 required in, or incorporated into, the proposed project that mitigate or avoid the potentially significant impacts of the proposed project related to this issue. Impact NOI-C: The project would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant noise (i.e., construction) impact. Finding: The project, in conformance with General Plan Program PS -63 and with the implementation of the mitigation measure MMNOI-1.1, would reduce its cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant cumulative construction noise impact to a less than significant level. (Less than Significant Cumulative Impact with Mitigation Incorporated) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the EIR. (State CEQA Guidelines, section 15091(a) (1).) Facts in Support of Finding. The Westside Renovation/Magical Bridge Playground at Red Morton Park project, which is currently under construction, is scheduled to be completed in December 2019. The proposed project is expected to start construction in January 2020. While the construction from the two projects would not be concurrent, the surrounding residences would be exposed to continual construction due to the two projects, which would extend disruption due to construction noise. However, the project, in conformance with General Plan Program PS -63 and with the implementation of mitigation measure MM N0I-1.1 above, would reduce its cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant cumulative construction noise impact to a less than significant level by restricting construction hours, controlling noise from construction activities and equipment, notifying and coordinating with nearby residences, and designating a disturbance coordinator to address noise complaints. In addition, the project does not propose the use of high-intensity construction equipment, such as pile drivers. Other cumulative projects may be under construction concurrently with the proposed project, but are within 1, 000feet of the project site. Therefore, this construction would not measurably contribute to the noise levels expected from project -generated construction. The facts to support this finding are further identified and described on pages 124 through 125 of the Draft EIR. See MM N0I-1.1 above The City finds that Mitigation Measure NOI-1.1 is feasible, is adopted, and will further reduce impacts associated with this issue to a level of less than significant. Accordingly, the City finds that, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21081(a)(1) and State CEQA Guidelines section 15091(a)(1), changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the proposed project that mitigate or avoid the potentially significant impacts of the proposed project related to this issue. Transportation/Traffic Impact TRN-1: The project would conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system (specifically the level of service at Intersection 9 under background plus project conditions). Finding: The implementation of mitigation measures MM TRN-1.1 would reduce the project's impact at Intersection 9 to a less than significant level. (Less than Significant impact with Mitigation Incorporated). Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the EIR.
