RESOLUTION 94-021 <br /> <br />385 <br /> <br />Facts ~n Support of the Finding <br /> <br />Noise studies shall be required for any residential units <br />proposed within the 65 Ldn contour. <br /> <br />The city shall review future proposals on a project-by-project <br />basis to ensure that the greatest distance between sensitive <br />noise sources and receptors would be provided. <br /> <br />Any residential sound barriers that are removed in conjunction <br />with the plan shall be replaced, with sound attenuating <br />barriers at least six feet in height. <br /> <br />Barriers between noise sources and noise-sensitive areas shall <br />be constructed where feasible. Areas where this measure would <br />be most beneficial include residential units located behind <br />lots that are inadequate for building development and may be <br />developed as linear parks. <br /> <br />Where structures providing a sound barrier are removed and new <br />barriers cannot be constructed because of site design <br />considerations, sound insulation for future residential <br />structures shall be provided to meet the interior noise levels <br />of the California State Sound Insulation Standards. <br /> <br />Se <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Future development shall provide interior sound insulation of <br />new residences as an alternative method of alleviating noise <br />impacts along arterial streets in built-up areas where it is <br />no longer possible to use berms and setbacks to reduce noise <br />impact. <br /> <br />Sound insulation shall be included in all new multi-family <br />residential construction as required by State law. <br /> <br />Increases in long term residential noise levels (1.7 dBA over 65.1 <br />dBA) resulting from greater traffic volumes along Harbor Boulevard, <br />First Street and Fifth Street are considered significant after <br />mitigation. <br /> <br />Sianificant Effect <br /> <br />Cumulatively, traffic generated noise would exceed the City <br />threshold (of 65 dBA) in residential areas along Harbor Boulevard, <br />First Street and Fifth Street. <br /> <br />Findina 1: <br /> <br />Changes or alterations have been required in, or <br />incorporated into, the project which avoid or <br />substantially lessen the significant environmental <br />effect identified in the Final EIR. <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br /> <br />
