Mr. Weinstein apologized for the errors on the chart and stated that staff will go back to review and then correct the numbers. Commissioner Balch stated that the data source is from the Lieutenant's report Commissioner Allen noted that there is no crime data for a 7- Eleven store that includes a gas station. She pointed out that both the store and the gas station should be considered for crime data at the proposed location. Mr. Weinstein agreed. He stated that crime is something staff spends a lot of time on, collaborating with the Police Department and looking and analyzing these this data. He indicated that Ms. Soo and he met with Lt. Bretzing, who provided this initial data, and Lt. Bretzing made it clear that he does not have any concerns with this proposed use. He added that Lt. Bretzing did call out the fact that he does not have data for a gas station with a 7- Eleven store, but he did not think that was a critical issue in terms of that specific combination of uses generating crime. Commissioner Balch referred to the noise measurements from the summary of long -term noise measurements on Table 2 on page 10 of the noise assessment report and asked staff to verify the 82 dBA reading in the L -max column under weekday. He noted that the noise generated under the existing condition is greater than what the car wash would have generated without the sound wall. He inquired if the noise is louder with or without the sound wall. Mr. Weinstein replied that the L -max reading is the highest volume of noise that was identified during that monitoring period when the noise consultants actually went out to this area and took noise measurements. He noted that 82 dBA may have been an ambulance driving down the street or something really loud happening. He added that that maximum is well in excess of the maximum noise that would be generated by the car wash with the noise barrier. Commissioner Balch inquired if the LDN, which is kind of the mean or median, would be a more appropriate measure. Mr. Weinstein stated that those are the day and night average levels. He added that that would be the reading one would get if noise were averaged over the course of the day. Commissioner Balch requested confirmation that the noise from the car wash would go down to 68 dBA or 69 dBA with the sound barrier. Mr. Weinstein said yes. Commissioner Allen noted that questions and concerns were received from residents regarding the noise that might be generated in their homes from the car wash.
