2005 Pleasanton Plan 2025 DRAFT 11.0 Noise <br /> Program 3.4: Appropriate interior noise levels in commercial, industrial, and office buildings are a function of the use of <br /> the space. Interior noise levels in noise sensitive spaces (e.g., offices) generally should be maintained at 45 <br /> dBA Leq or less (hourly average). <br /> Policy 4: Control noise at its source to maintain existing noise levels, and in no case to exceed acceptable noise levels as <br /> established in the Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines, Table 11 -5. <br /> Program 4.1: Enforce the noise emission standards for various noise emitting land uses established in the City's Noise <br /> Ordinance. <br /> Program 4.2: Develop a mechanical drive engine ordinance that would establish noise limits for engines, such as electricity <br /> generators, used in commercial and industrial operations. <br /> Program 4.3: Aggressively enforce the noise emissions standards for all vehicles. Enforce Section 27007 of the California <br /> Motor Vehicle Code. This section prohibits amplified sound which can be heard 50 or more feet from a <br /> vehicle. Control excessive exhaust noise by enforcing Section 27150 of the California Motor Vehicle Code. <br /> Program 4.4: Explore opportunities to reduce noise impacted areas through alternative street paving methods and <br /> materials. <br /> Program 4.5: Rebuild or build sound berms or walls as Capital Improvement Projects of the City to provide improved <br /> sound mitigation for existing neighborhoods impacted by unacceptable noise. <br /> Program 4.6: Require developers of new projects that would significantly increase noise in nearby homes to mitigate noise <br /> impacts with walls, er-berms or other measures, and /or to provide noise attenuating measures in the homes. <br /> Policy 5: Protect schools, hospitals, libraries, religious facilities, convalescent homes, and other noise sensitive uses from noise <br /> levels exceeding those allowed in residential areas. <br /> Program 5.1: Locate new noise sensitive land uses away from noise sources nnless development plans include appropriate <br /> mitigation measures. <br /> Program 5.2: Locate new noise sources away from noise sensitive land uses unless development plans include appropriate <br /> mitigation measures. <br /> Policy 6: Limit truck traffic in residential and commercial areas to designated truck routes, as consistent with State law. <br /> 11 Noise Element pans 11-26 <br />
