4.Written Comments on the Draft EIR and Responses to Comments that Site l 1 is located within the"General Referral Area"according to maps that are contained in the 2005-2025 Pleasanton General Plan. This area is different from both the Safety Zone and the Livermore Municipal Airport Protection Area Boundary. As stated in the Public Safety section of the 2005-2025 Pleasanton General Plan, "the General Referral Area is the area which is now or could in the future be affected by airport operations. This area is also referred to as the `airport influence area'." Proposed projects within this area must also be referred to the Airport Land Use Commission for its review and determination of consistency with the Airport Land Use Policy Plan. 9-7 The comment suggests that a site-specific acoustical assessment regarding single-event aircraft operations from Livermore Airport is not necessary for Site 11 since the site is outside of the airport protection area and the Airport Land Commission safety zone. Regardless of the site location relative to the airport protection area and the Airport Land Commission safety zone, the site may experience noise from Livermore Municipal Airport-related aircraft operations exceeding 75 dB Lmax. Given the typical, worst-case acoustical insulation performance of standard residential construction(25 dB exterior-to- interior noise level reduction), interior noise exposure from aircraft operations could exceed the City of Pleasanton's interior noise exposure limit of 50 dB Lntax (bedrooms). As such, Site I I will be required to adhere to Mitigation Measure 4.J-7 of the Draft SEIR. 9-8 The comment describes what it perceives as favorable attributes for development of Site 11 and notes that the attributes should be included in the Draft SEIR, and have, by way of Comment Letter 9 been included in the Final SEIR.
