Councilmember Brown noted there are very few options due to the site's proximity to the mall and asked if how staff anticipates enforcing this. Community Development Director Dolan said that this is a new requirement for the city, but staff anticipates that enforcement would occur only if complaints are received or staff notices a violation. Councilmember Brown referred to page 81 of the Addendum to the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR), which says that construction shall occur Monday through Saturday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. She said her understanding was that Pleasanton does not allow construction on Saturdays before 9 a.m. and asked why an exception was being made here. Mr. Dolan explained that they applicant did request expanded construction hours and staff negotiated this particular schedule with them. He also explained that the allowed start time is largely dependent on the project's location and noted that while this is near a housing development, there is also construction on that site and noise from the adjacent freeway. Councilmember Cook-Kallio asked and Mr.. Dolan confirmed that the adjacent project, Continuing Life Communities, is still partially under construction itself and asked whether this project is adjacent to construction on that site and what their hours are. Councilmember Narum, whose mother is a resident there, said "no." Mr. Dolan noted that the proposed language actually accommodates a change to the hours of Saturday construction if there are issues and that this can be done at the staff level. Councilmember Brown referred to page 75 of the Addendum to the SEIR, which identifies the permanent increase in ambient noise levels resulting from the project as a potentially significant issue. She asked staff to speak to the mitigations given that this is adjacent to a large housing project. Ms. Bonn said the mitigations, which are no different than what was identified in the EIR, require that the carwash meet the 60 decibel limit specified and that the interior noise of the building meet accepted standards for commercial buildings. Councilmember Brown asked about the noise limit on outdoor speakers commonly used at car dealerships. Ms. Bonn stated that loudspeakers are prohibited both by the Conditions of Approval and Specific Plan, except in case of an extreme emergency. The applicant has also indicated that they do not use these. Councilmember Brown also referred to pages 87 and 89 of the SEIR, which identify potentially significant impacts related to traffic and congestion management. Mr. Dolan explained that the environmental document for this project is simply Si addendum to the original EIR and SEIR that evaluated a broad scope of development and that all the impacts identified are simply a reference back to the impacts in the original EIR rather than anything resulting specifically from this project. Councilmember Brown referred to the five intersections identified and asked at what point they would be addressed. Mr Dolan said they were addressed in the original EIR which was an SEIR to the General Plan EIR prepared in conjunction with the Housing Element and Climate Action Plan.
