incorporated into the Project, will reduce the significant environmental impact to a less than significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measures indicate that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. 1. Construction activities would include demolition, site preparation, paving, and building construction, in addition to construction for off- site improvements such as roadways, storm drainage, and utilities. Construction would involve the use of heavy equipment (e.g., front loader, graders, haul trucks) in addition to small power tools, generators, and hand tools that would be sources of noise. 2. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.J-1 set forth in Table 6-1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the MMRP applies tc all potential sites for rezoning and will ensure that Impact 4.J-1 would be reduced to a less than significant level and is hereby incorporated by reference and described below. 4.J-1: In addition to requiring that all project developers comply with the applicable construction noise exposure criteria established within the City's Municipal Code 9.04.100, the City shall require developers on the potential sites for rezoning to implement construction best management practices to reduce construction noise, including: a. Locate stationary construction equipment as far from adjacent occupied buildings as possible. b. Select routes for movement of construction-related vehicles and equipment so that noise-sensitive areas, including residences, and outdoor recreation areas, are avoided as much as possible. Include these routes in materials submitted to the City of Pleasanton for approval prior to the issuance of building permits. c. All site improvements and construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. In addition, no construction shall be allowed on State and federal holidays. If complaints are received regarding the Saturday construction hours, the Community Development Director may modify or revoke the Saturday construction hours. The Community Development Director may allow earlier "start-times" for specific construction activities (e.g., concrete-foundation/floor pouring), if it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director that the construction and construction traffic noise will not affect nearby residents. d. All construction equipment must meet DMV noise standards and shall be equipped with muffling devices. e. Designate a noise disturbance coordinator who will be responsible for responding to complaints about noise during construction. The lelephone number of the noise disturbance coordinator shall be conspicuously posted at the construction site and shall be provided to the City of Pleasanton. Copies of the construction schedule shall also be posted at nearby noise-sensitive areas.
