ATTY/RESO.0091/PC RESO 800 MAIN HOTEL SEQUOIA REV: 09-01-23 VR Page 24 of 32 conditions shall require the Project Applicant to undertake the following conventional construction-period noise abatement measures: • Construction Plan. Prepare a detailed construction plan identifying the schedule for major noise-generating construction activities. The construction plan shall identify a procedure for coordination with nearby noise-sensitive facilities so that construction activities and the event schedule can be scheduled to minimize noise disturbance. This plan shall be provided to all noise-sensitive land uses within 500 feet of the construction site. Construction Scheduling. Ensure that noise-generating construction activity is limited to between the hours of 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Friday except when authorized by the Building Official (Redwood City Municipal Code Section 24.32). • Construction Equipment Mufflers and Maintenance. Equip all internal combustion engine-driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. • Equipment Locations. Locate stationary noise-generating equipment required on construction project sites as far as possible from sensitive receptors when sensitive receptors adjoin or are near a construction project site. • Construction Traffic. Route all construction traffic to and from the construction sites via designated truck routes to the maximum extent feasible. Prohibit construction-related heavy truck traffic in residential areas where feasible. Quiet Equipment Selection. Use quiet construction equipment, particularly air compressors, wherever feasible. • Temporary Barriers. Construct solid plywood fences around construction sites adjacent to residences, operational businesses, or noise-sensitive land uses. Temporary Noise Blankets. Temporary noise control blanket barriers shall be erected along building facades of construction sites to attenuate noise from elevated activities if noise conflicts cannot be resolved by scheduling. (Noise control blanket barriers can be rented and quickly erected.) • Noise Disturbance Coordinator. For projects that would last over one year in duration, the City may choose to require the Project Applicant to designate a “Noise Disturbance Coordinator” who shall be responsible for responding to any local complaints about construction noise. The Disturbance Coordinator shall determine the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., starting too early, bad muffler, etc.) and institute reasonable measures to correct the problem. The Project Applicant shall post, in a conspicuous location, a telephone number for the Disturbance Coordinator at the construction site and include it in the notice sent to neighbors regarding the construction schedule.
