Parking <br /> <br />The Municipal Code does not specifically define the number of parking spaces required for park <br />uses. A total of 64 paved spaces are proposed to accommodate the normal use times. The <br />additional proposed 48 gravel spaces should adequately accommodate overflow parking in terms <br />of amount. <br /> <br />Noise <br /> <br />Development of the Project would generate added noise primarily from vehicular traffic, small <br />crowd baseball game cheering, and amplified game announcing. Noise created by traffic would <br />initially be confined to Valley Avenue and Bernal Avenue. Upon completion of the Valley <br />Avenue under-crossing at the railroad tracks, traffic noise will become more disbursed to include <br />the Valley Avenue route to Case Avenue and Sunol Boulevard. <br /> <br />Noise created by crowd cheering and amplified sound at baseball games would be adequately <br />mitigated by the more than 800-foot wide open space buffer between the fields and the nearest <br />residential neighborhood to the west. <br /> <br />Future construction activities would generate short-term noise impacts both on-site and in the <br />nearby surrounding area. Construction activity is subject to the City's Noise Ordinance that, <br />among other things, limits construction hours. <br /> <br /> Aesthetics <br /> <br /> The Project area is located approximately 1,200 feet south of Bernal Avenue. Due to this large <br /> setback and the fact that only accessory structures are proposed, the Project is not expected to <br /> block views of outlying scenic hillsides from Bemal Avenue. Four light poles of 60 feet in <br /> height and six poles of 80 feet in height would only be visible to a limited extent during the <br /> daytime hours. <br /> <br /> Light <br /> <br /> Two of the three baseball fields are planned to be developed with lighting for night play. The <br /> largest of the three fields (Field 5) is designed for older-aged players and includes six light poles <br /> measuring 80 feet in height. The second lighted field (Field 6) is intended for younger players <br /> and is proposed to have four 60-foot high poles. The third field is presently planned for informal <br /> daytime use only. <br /> <br /> SR 05:195 <br /> Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
