386 RESOLUTION 94-021 Facts in Support of the Findina Noise studies shall be required for any residential units proposed within the 65 Ldn contour. The City shall review future proposals on a project-by-project basis to ensure that the greatest distance between sensitive noise sources and receptors would be provided. Any residential sound barriers that are removed in conjunction with the plan shall be replaced with sound attenuating barriers at least six feet in height. Barriers between noise sources and noise-sensitive areas shall be constructed where feasible. Areas where this measure would be most beneficial include residential units located behind lots that are inadequate for building development and may be developed as linear parks. Where structures providing a sound barrier are removed and new barriers cannot be constructed because of site design considerations, sound insulation for future residential structures shall be provided to meet the interior noise levels of the California State Sound Insulation Standards. Future development shall provide interior sound insulation of new residences as an alternative method of alleviating noise impacts along arterial streets~in built-up areas where it is no longer possible to use berms and setbacks to reduce noise impact. Sound insulation shall be included in all new multi-family residential construction as required by State law. Cumulative traffic noise impacts remain mitigation. significant after LAND USE Sianificant Effect Construction of future proposals and improvements would result in minor displacement of households and businesses. Findin~ Findin~ 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. 22
