Item 24 - Public Hearing for Amendments to the Transit Zoning Code

Home Browse Search

Each owner's [or renter's] interest is subject to the fact that trains operate at different times of the day and night on the railway tracks immediately adjacent to a project site; and that by accepting the conveyance of an interest [or lease agreement] in that project, owner [or renter] accepts all impacts generated by the trains. Posting of Notice of Disclosure in each residential unit. Prior to offering the first residential unit for purchase, lease, or rent, the property owner or developer shall post a copy of the Notice of Disclosure in every unit in a conspicuous location. Also, a copy of the Notice of Disclosure shall be included in all materials distributed for the Project, including but not limited to: the prospectus, informational literature, and residential lease and rental agreements. (Impact 4.8-8) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that no impacts related to the proximity public use airport would not result in impacts would result. Impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors from excessive groundborne vibration (Impact 4.8-3), potentially significant vibration levels (Impact 4.8-4), ambient noise increase (Impact 4.8-5), periodic noise impacts (Impact 4.8-6), and noise from increased traffic volumes (Impact 4.8-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts from noise levels exceeding City noise standards (Impact 4.8-1) and exposure to noise -sensitive land uses (Impact 4.8-2) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts causing groundborne vibration and development exposure near the Southern California Regional Rail Authority's (SCRRA) rail line (Impact 4.8-8) and construction activities from project implementation (Impact 4.8-9) were found to be significant and unavoidable. Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 — Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would limit daily operations times and days of week, and maximum noise that could be generated from existing uses. No industrial use shall generate ground vibration perceptible without instruments at any point along the property line of the site except for motor vehicle operations. No vibration shall be produced that is transmitted through the ground and is discernible without the aid of instruments by a reasonable person at the property lines of the site. Vibrations from temporary construction, demolition, and vehicles that enter and leave the subject parcel are exempt from this standard. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project -level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.8-1 through MM4.8-8 would continue to apply. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. This will result in a beneficial impact. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and unavoidable noise impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.9 POPULATION, HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT This section analyzes the effects to population, housing and employment from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations.
