These measures will reduce exterior and interior noise levels to the levels set forth by the Noise Element of the Pleasanton General Plan: railroad noise -- 70 dB Ldn for outdoor areas, 50 and 55 dBA for interior bedroom and living areas, respectively; vehicular noise -- 60 dB Ldn for outdoor areas and 45 dB Ldn for in- terior living areas. According to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Flood Hazard Maps, no portion of the site will be affected by the 100-year or the 500-year floods.
