Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 31 ESA / 202100421.00 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report October 2022 11. Noise and Vibration Impact NO-1: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not generate a substantial temporary increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure NO-1 (FSEIR, pp. 11-20 to 11-21) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact NO-1: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure NO-1 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact NO-1, such that this potential impact would be less than significant because it will require conventional construction-period noise abatement measures as conditions of approval for all future projects involving demolition and construction activities. Impact NO-2: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not generate a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure NO-2 (FSEIR, p. 11-22) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact NO-2: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure NO-2 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact NO-2, such that this potential impact would be less than significant because an acoustical study shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical engineer during final building design to evaluate the potential noise generated by building mechanical equipment and to identify the necessary design measures to be incorporated to meet the performance standards of Chapters 36.7.B of the City’s Redwood City Zoning Code. Impact NO-3: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure NO-3 (FSEIR, p. 11-25) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact NO-3: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure NO-3 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact NO-3, such that this potential impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measure NO-3 would impose conditions of approval that require the Project Applicant to ensure that ground-borne vibration abatement measures are implemented by the construction contractor to reduce ground-borne vibration levels generated by future site-specific demolition and construction activities. Those conditions will: restrict the hours in which vibration-generating activity is permitted; require written notice of
