6.1.B. - Page 18 Land Use and Planning Cansultant wil! conduct the following tasks: * Describe existir�g land uses, ir�tensities, and patterns in the �icinity of the project site and fhe compatibili#y of t�e proposed land uses and zoning with curren# de�efapment. * Describe tf�e praposed project's poten#iai fo di�ide an established community. • Evaivate any potentiaf conflic#s between #he prapased and current Isnd uses that would result in environmenta! impacts. These conflicts cauld include a use that would create a n�isance for adjacer�t properties ar result in incompatibility with sur�aunding land uses, such as differences i� #he physical scale of de�elopment, noise levels, trafFic ievels, or hours of operation. � Evaluate the extent to which adapted City develo�ment standards or proposed design standards would eliminate or mir�imize potential canflicts within the proposed project site, resulting in environmenfal impacts. The Redwood City General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and ath�r applicable plans will be examined and the �roposed project's consistency with applicable portions of these plans will be described. Mineral Resources Consultant will describe existing conditions at the project site and identify the mineral resources zone classification for soils at the site. It is anticipated that the site does r�ot contain significanf mineral resources and that the discussion will be brief. Noise Consultant will camplete the fallowing tasks: • Summarize the existing noise environrnent for the p�oject area and related er��ironmental noise impacts. The analysis will provide existing conditions informatian and refevant background information, ir�c�uding noise fundamentais, descriptors, and applicable federal, state, and the Redwood City General Pfan Noise Element. • Existing noise canditions will �e quantified through ambient noise measurements consisting of a maximum of two site visits and the measurement of on-site and off-site ambient noise levels (up to four short-term [i.e., 15-minute] with vehicle caunts and one long-term [i.e., 24-haur]). All monitoring focations will be approved by the City. + Assess the �otential sho�t-term, construction-related exterior and interior noise impacts (e.g., on-site heavy-duty equfpment} with respect to nearby noise- sensitive receivers. Project-generated noise le�els at these receivers will be �uantified using the reference noise measur�men# data alor�g with standard r�oise modeling practices (e.g., combined construc#ion noise level, acceptable assumptians regard�ng exterior-to-interior noise reduction due to building fa�ade}. • Quantify poten#iai transporkation noise source increases (e.g., increased traffic alnng Broadway} generated by the proposed project. Traffic noise madeling will be �ased on average daily traffic (ADT) �olumes obtained from the A�fTYlAGR12012.754124 H�UR CQNTRACT/ATKINS MORTH AMERICA REV:09-19-12 JS Page 96 af 26
