(b) . - An application has been made to the Federal Aviation Administration for <br />its review pursuant t o Federal Aviation a u lations Part 77 <br />Subpart (FAA <br />Form 7460• 1, "Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration") and the C will <br />require the applicant to comply with all appropriate recommendations. <br />3.10.15 Potential Effect Construction of the Project could expose people to frequent <br />and/or high levels of aircraft noise. <br />Findings The City hereby males .Irmd *n� (1). <br />.__. .... .. <br />Facts in Surt of Findings <br />(a) Airport noise concerns are normally directed at residential land uses. <br />Office and coanniereial uses are generally deemed compatible with all but the <br />highest noise levels. <br />(b) The Project is located within the CNEL 5.5 --60 dB noise contour for the <br />Airport. Business and profe ssional uses are considere comp atible with noise <br />levels up to CNEL 70 dB. <br />(c) The l o -story building will not reflect or othe rwise increase aircraft noise in <br />res .ldental areas. <br />3.10.16 Potential Effect When operating in the Airport traffic pattern, pilots seeking to <br />avoid Project office buildings .might tend to operate their aircraft further to the <br />east. Pilots also might choose, for safety reasons., to avoid the ro`ect area b <br />P .� y <br />flying farther out. Both of these circumstances might create <br />an increase in noise <br />over residential areas in.Redwood. Shores, This would affect citizens m the <br />]Belmont Channel area and along Bridge Parkway. <br />Findino The City hereby makes finding (1)J, <br />Facts in= pPn�rt. of Fin&g s <br />(a) The analyses conducted in order to evaluate safety issues concluded that <br />the 10-story building is not an obstruction to air navi g ation. Therefor aircraft <br />will not have to avoid it by flying around the building and over existin res <br />g <br />.areas. As a result, noise levels from aircraft will not increase in these residential <br />areas. <br />(b) The location of the l o -story office building would not require aircr� 0. <br />the traffic pattern to fly their downwind leg further east, thereby ovie noise <br />y g <br />further into Redwood Shores residential areas. The loca of the builds is <br />g <br />-28- <br />D <br />5/30/9610:51.AM <br />
