(non-transportation) noise sources at levels in excess of the City of Pleasanton Noise Standards. The SEIR evaluates the impact of the proposed Zone related to the exposure to stationary (non-transportation) noise sources that would exceed the applicable City of Pleasanton Noise Standards. Significance Before Mitigation: Significant Significance After Mitigation: Less than Significant Finding: Changes have been incorporated into the proposed Zone that would avoid the significant environmental effect as identified in the SEIR. Mitigation Measures 4.0-lc and 4.0-1d,which are incorporated into the proposed Zone, 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. Noise from stationary(non-transportation)sources in the vicinity of all the potential sites for rezoning could exceed the applicable exterior noise exposure limit established within the City Municipal Code. Some areas adjacent to industrial/commercial areas could be subject to loading noise and late or 24- hour operations noise. 2. Implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.0-lc and 4.0-ld set forth in Table 6- 1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the MMRP will ensure that Impact 4.0-7 would be reduced to a less-than-significant level, and are hereby incorporated by reference and described below. Mitigation Measure 4.0-lc: Prior to the approval of the development of senior housing projects within the EDZ area,the City shall require site-specific acoustical assessments to determine exposure to existing and approved noise sources, impact, and mitigation regarding non-transportation sources.Noise exposure shall be mitigated to satisfy the applicable City Municipal Code criterion using appropriate housing site design. Site(s) affected: All sites within the proposed Zone. Mitigation Measure 4.0-1d: For all senior housing proposed for development within the EDZ area, the City shall require noise disclosures and noise complaint procedures for new residents of these developments, which will include 1) a disclosure of potential noise sources in the project vicinity; and 2)the establishment of procedures and a contact phone number for a site manager the residents can call to address any noise complaints. Site(s) affected: All sites within the proposed Zone. (Draft SEIR,pp. 4.0-19 to 4.0-20.) 22
