height, and that conditions of approval for the Project would contain a condition <br /> requiring"Notice of Airport in Vicinity," to be included in all lease/rental agreements <br /> and post outdoor signage informing the public of the presence of operating aircraft, <br /> which demonstrates further compliance with the AELUP and to minimize potential <br /> future noise complaints. Despite this information, the ALUC voted to find the <br /> Project inconsistent per Sections 2.1.3 and 3.2.1 of the AELUP. <br /> D. Justification for Finding Project Consistent with the Purposes of PUC <br /> Section 21670. <br /> 1. Noise. The residential and commercial land uses under the proposed <br /> Project are consistent with the aircraft noise standards of the AELUP and <br /> the requirements of PUC Section 21670. <br /> a. The Project is located outside of the JWA 60 to 65 dBA CNEL aircraft <br /> noise contours.Aircraft noise analysis was completed in the Project's <br /> SEIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2020029087) and presented at the <br /> ALUC hearing. <br /> The AELUP establishes aircraft noise exposure exterior noise level <br /> compatibility thresholds for new development by land use category. <br /> According to the exterior noise thresholds outlined in the AELUP, <br /> multi-family residential development is considered normally <br /> consistent with exterior noise levels of less than 60 dBA CNEL, <br /> conditionally consistent with exterior noise levels between 60 and 65 <br /> dBA CNEL and normally inconsistent with exterior noise level above <br /> 65 Dba CNEL. For commercial retail land use, exterior noise levels <br /> are considered normally consistent with exterior noise levels of less <br /> than 65 dBA CNEL and conditionally consistent with exterior noise <br /> level above 65 dBA CNEL. <br /> b. According to Section 5.9 of the SEIR, the Project site is located <br /> outside of both the airport's planned and actual (2019) 60 CNEL <br /> contours of JWA. Thus, according to the AELUP, the Project <br /> residential, open space, and commercial retail land uses are <br /> normally consistent with JWA aircraft noise exposure exterior noise <br /> level compatibility thresholds. <br /> C. The airport related noise on the Project site does not exceed the <br /> City's Municipal Code permissible noise levels. <br /> d. The County's General Aviation Noise Ordinance prohibits <br /> commercial aircraft departures between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and <br /> 7:00 a.m. and arrivals between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. <br /> e. Based on the foregoing, these restrictions substantially limit the <br /> aircraft noise during the noise sensitive nighttime hours for <br /> residential use. Thus, noise impacts related to JWA would be less <br /> than significant. <br /> Resolution No, 2025-043 <br /> Page 9 of 20 <br />
