100 monitoring, and other planning and engineering measures. In addition, construction of the proposed project would be required to comply with the City of Redwood City Noise Ordinance and all applicable City codes and regulations for noise control. Required implementation of a construction traffic plan (including the identification of truck haul routes) approved by the City would help minimize construction traffic-related impacts on adjacent land uses. These measures, which shall be required as conditions of project component approval, would reduce the temporary construction noise and vibration impacts of the project component to less-than-significant levels. The proposed project component is not a residential project, and the project component site is located approximately 1,200 feet northeast of the Caltrain tracks. Because there are no residences at the 1900 Broadway project component site, railroad vibration impacts would be less than significant, and DTPP EIR Mitigation Measure 11-2 (DTPP-Related Permanent Ground-Borne Vibration Impacts) would not be required. The project component site is located within 200 feet of the following City-identified historic structures: 2000 Broadway (originally Bank of San Mateo County), 2020 Broadway (Fitzpatrick Building), 2022 – 2024 Broadway (originally San Mateo County Building and Loan Association), 726 Main (originally Diller-Chamberlain store), and 800 Main (Sequoia Hotel). Therefore Mitigation Measures NO-3 would apply to the project component. This mitigation measure, which shall be required as a condition of project component approval, would reduce the potential impacts of the project related to groundborne vibration to a less-than-significant level. For the reasons noted, the 1900 Broadway project component would not create new impacts or increase impacts, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. c. The DTPP area is located (on the fly) within two miles of San Carlos Airport, but is outside the projected 55dB CNEL contour shown in the Redwood City General Plan (Figure PS-9: San Carlos Airport Noise Contours, June 2002) and the San Mateo County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan (DTPP EIR p. 11-30). No significant impacts related to airport operations were identified in the DTPP, and no additional noise mitigation was required (DTPP EIR p. 11- 30). The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 11-28 through 11-29) generally concurred with the DTPP conclusion with respect to impacts from aircraft noise exposure and concluded that because the 60, 65, 70, and 75 CNEL noise contours for San Carlos Airport do not extend into the City of Redwood City, noise from aircraft operations at the airport would not exceed the 60 CNEL “normally acceptable” level (per San Mateo County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan [ALUCP] Table 11-7). The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (p. 11-29) also noted that the ALUCP requires a Real Estate Disclosure for projects located within the Airport Influence Area A, which includes the entire DTPP Area. The Salter noise study (Salter p. 11) noted, “The project [component] site is located outside the aircraft noise contours for the San Carlos Airport and is over two miles from the San Francisco International and San Jose Mineta International airports and Moffett Federal Airfield.” The proposed project component is in compliance with all applicable DTPP standards relevant to airport noise and will be subject to the Real Estate Disclosure, and as a result, no additional airport noise-related impacts are anticipated. Therefore, the project component would not result in new or more severe impacts with respect to airport noise than identified in the EIR/SEIR and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes, and this impact would be less than significant. CONCLUSION: With regards to the issue area of Noise and Vibration, the following findings can be made: (1) no peculiar impacts to the 1900 Broadway project component or its site have been identified, (2) there are no potentially significant effect or off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by the EIR/SEIR, (3) no substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe than anticipated by the EIR/SEIR, and (4) feasible mitigation measures contained within the EIR/SEIR would be applied to the project component and render its specific impacts less than significant. For these reasons, the noise and vibration impacts of the proposed project component would be consistent with the impacts identified in the EIR/SEIR and this project component does not require additional environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15183. 847 Woodside Road Component: a. Noise in Redwood City is regulated by the City’s Noise Ordinance (Chapter 24 of the Municipal Code). In addition, the Noise Element of the City’s General Plan enumerates noise policies. More specifically, excessive and unreasonable noise levels are defined as noise levels generated by construction activities, including demolition; alteration, repair or remodeling of existing structures; and construction of new structures, on property within the City ATTY/RESO.0074/CC RESO 847 WOODSIDE (CEQA) - EXHIBIT 1 - CEQA CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST REV: 10-23-24 VR Page 100 of 135
