The CNEL Contour Map, showing zones where aircraft noise impact from John Wayne Airport are 60 CNEL or greater and where it is 65 CNEL or greater, adopted by the OCALUC in connection with its AELUP, is hereby incorporated by reference. Any revised map showing such zones adopted in the future by the OCALUC is likewise incorporated herein. 2. Residential units in any area of the City shown on the CNEL Contour Map as 60 CNEL or greater shall be sufficiently sound attenuated for present and projected noise exposures, which shall be the energy sum of all noise impacting the project, so as not to exceed an interior standard of 45 CNEL. Residential units shall be indoor oriented so as to preclude noise impingement on outdoor living activities. 3. Commercial and industrial buildings in any area of the City shown on the CNEL contour map as 65 CNEL or greater shall be sound attenuated against the combined input of all present and projected exterior noise to meet the following cri- teria: Typical Use Level L(eq)*(12)** Private office, church santuary, board room, conference room, etc. 45 General office, reception, cleri- cal, etc. 50 Bank lobby, retail store, restaur- ant, typing pool, etc. 55 Manufacturing, kitchen, warehousing, etc. 65 RESOLUTION NO. 87-45 Page four *L(eq) is the equivalent sound level for a specified time period in dB(A). ** Measured from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. or other appropriate time period. 4.
