Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road <br /> Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br /> 5.12. NOISE <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br /> External noise sources that could affect the site include traffic noise from Sunol <br /> Boulevard and Interstate 680, which are located approxamatly 3,000 feet and 4,000 <br /> feet west of the project site, respectively <br /> STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE <br /> For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if <br /> the proposed project would: <br /> • Result in construction noise levels that do not meet the City of Pleasanton <br /> Noise Ordinance; <br /> • Result in backyard noise levels exceeding 60 dBA Ldn or indoor noise levels <br /> exceeding 45 dBA Ldn. <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially Impact With Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant No <br /> Issues Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> Would the project: <br /> a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in X <br /> excess of standards established in the local general <br /> plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of <br /> other agencies? <br /> b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive X <br /> ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? <br /> c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise X <br /> levels in the project vicinity above levels existing <br /> without the project? <br /> d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in X <br /> ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above <br /> levels existing without the project? <br /> e) For a project located within an airport land use plan X <br /> or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within <br /> two miles of a public airport or public use airport, <br /> would the project expose people residing or working <br /> in the project area to excessive noise levels? <br /> X <br /> 35 <br /> <br />Plan Amendment is needed. The proposal would <br /> change the NSSP land use designation of the approximately 1.01-acre northern <br /> portion of the site from PUD-Agriculture to PUD-Medium Density Residential. The <br /> PUD-Medium Density Residential land use category allows a maximum density of <br /> 3.5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density of the PUD-Medium Density <br /> Residential portion of the site would be 3.0 dwelling units per acre. The remaining <br /> 2.27-acre southern portion of the site would retain the PUD-Agriculture land use <br /> 33 <br />as a <br /> less-than-significant impact. <br /> c) Sycamore Creek runs through the southern portion of the site. In order to <br /> determine whether the proposed project would affect the water flow in <br /> Sycamore Creek, hydrology studies were prepared by LandTech, Inc7. The <br /> studies found that the proposed development would result in slight increase <br /> in surface water flow into Sycamore Creek, but the increase is not considered <br /> to be significant and would not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or <br /> 31 <br />event landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, <br /> liquefaction and collapse on the project site.
