Initial Study and Negative Declaration by any machine, animal, device, or any combination of the same, on commercial property, in excess of 70 dBA at any point outside of the property plane. The proposed development would result in an increase in ambient noise levels. Typical noise sources that would be associated with the proposed development include mechanical ventilation systems and delivery trucks for the proposed business. An increase in traffic volumes would also generate an increase in noise levels. However, the proposed development would abut an interstate freeway off -ramp and a major city thoroughfare and is located in a commercial area. There are two hotels (Larkspur Landing and Motel 6) nearby. The nearest residential development is approximately 0.57 miles to the south of the project site on Allbrook Circle and a mixed -use development located approximately 0.41 miles northwest of 1 -580 in the City of Dublin. However, the noise from the project is unlikely to exceed ambient noise levels; thus hotel guest and /or residents would not likely be impacted. Therefore, this would be a Tess- than- significant impact. b -d. The development of the proposed restaurant with drive - through would generate added urban noise, such as that associated with traffic, loading and unloading of delivery trucks, etc. However, given the existing noise levels produced by nearby street traffic and the existing commercial and office uses in the area, noise levels would not change substantially from those currently experienced in the area. The construction phase of the project may entail activities that result in ground -borne vibrations. The nearest residential uses are located approximately 0.57 miles to the south of the project site on Allbrook Circle (where construction - related noise on the site would not be perceptible). The hours of construction would be limited to minimize any impact to surrounding land uses. Construction equipment would be required to meet Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) noise standards and be equipped with muffling devices. Once constructed, the operation of the proposed use would be required to meet the City's Noise Ordinance, which stipulates that businesses not be allowed to produce a noise level in excess of 70 dBA at any point outside of the property plane. Therefore, these would be Tess- than - significant impacts. e -f. The project site is located approximately 5.5 miles from the nearest airport runway at the Livermore Municipal Airport and is not located within its Airport Influence Area (ALA) or General Referral Area. Therefore, the project would not expose people to excessive aircraft noise levels. Therefore, these would be no- impact. 38
