assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid <br />increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area <br />boundaries. <br />CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas <br />with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas. <br />CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public <br />awareness of State, regional and local agencies' roles and resources to identify, monitor, <br />and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. <br />HE5.0 — Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City's zoning code development <br />and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent <br />uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from <br />sensitive receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum <br />distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive <br />receptors such as residences. <br />HE44.A — Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities relating to housing and <br />community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair <br />housing. <br />Implementation of the proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 — Current <br />and Proposed Text Regulations does not trigger new land use impacts that might otherwise <br />occur with a development project requiring preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR. <br />The new regulations would provide that any nonconforming business that operates in an <br />unlawful manner, including but not limited to, frequent code violations, police calls, or loitering <br />complaints, or is not in good standing with the City, including, but limited to constant service <br />calls or lapses in Business License renewal, will lose its nonconforming status, enabling the City <br />to take corrective action as it deems appropriate, including business license revocation or <br />terminating utility services or connections. For the purposes of this section, "frequent" is defined <br />as more than one violation, call, or complaint per month during any twelve month period, and <br />"constant service calls" is defined as more than one service call per month during any twelve <br />(12) month period. <br />Thus, the project would not physically divide an established community, or conflict with any land <br />use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an <br />environmental impact. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed <br />amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Therefore, the project does <br />not trigger new land use impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental <br />EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to land use. <br />5.8 NOISE <br />This section analyzes the effects to noise from implementing the proposed zoning code <br />regulations. <br />Would the project: <br />a. Expose persons to or generate noise levels in excess of standards established in the <br />local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? <br />b. Expose persons to or generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise <br />levels? <br />c. Cause a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity <br />above levels existing without the project? <br />January 2025 38 Environmental Analysis <br />
