a.1. Finding. The proposed Plan contains mitigation measures to reduce noise levels to acceptable levels in existing residential developments. a.2. Fact. Periodic noise monitoring will be conducted at key locations. Sound walls and noise insulation will be installed where feasible. a.3. Finding. Individual project review process will ensure that new developments meet acceptable noise levels standards, both on- and off-site. a.4. Fact. Noise studies will be required on all projects in areas potentially impacted by noise and of projects potentially contributing noise to sensitive environments. Mitigation measures will be required of impacted projects,and follow-up studies to evaluate the measure's effectiveness will also be required. V. Air Quality A. Significant Effect. Increase in carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter due primarily to increased auto emissions. a.1. Finding. The coordination of land use and transportation plans and policies will reduce automobile trips and resultant air pollution. a.2. Fact. In-fill development is encouraged. High density housing will be developed near public transit, major thoroughfares, shopping and employment centers. a.3. Fact. Transportation plans and policies are designed to reduce automobile traffic. See Section III (Transportation and Circulation). a.4. Fact. Sensitive land uses will be located away from sources of pollution. Buffer zones will be included in sensitive receptor site plans to separate them from freeways and other sources of pollution. a.5. Findinq. Adherence to State or Federal air quality standards, whichever is more stringent, for local pollutants of concern will ensure that air quality standards are maintained. a.6. Fact. The City has formed an Environmental Monitoring Commission to monitor the air quality within Pleasanton. a.7. Fact. Major business parks must continually monitor carbon monoxide levels to ensure compliance with standards.
