barriers exceeds reasonable or feasible berm construction, berms <br />integrated with soundwalls are encouraged. <br />3.2 soundwalls without berms may be used along the southbound freeway <br />on-ramp and the UPRR tracks as shown on [he Noise Mitigation <br />Diagram (Figure 6-1). <br />Landscaping shall be provided between a soundwall and the <br />freeway on-ramp, street curbs, sidewalks, or other non- <br />landscaped areas when berms are not provided. <br />3.3 soundwalls should be screened by landscaping to deter graffiti and <br />improve [heir appearance. <br />Noise Attenuation Policy 4: Scenic Preservation Considerations. Design <br />Phase I noise mitigation measures to be compatible with scenic preservation <br />objectives (see Visual Resources Policy 2 in this Element). <br />Noise Attenuation Policy 5: Minimizing Construction Noise. Develop a <br />construction management plan to minimize heavy construction noise adjacent to <br />existing and newly developed noise-sensitive uses. City construction noise <br />requirements shall be followed; when a construction phase will occur adjacent to <br />a newly developed area, limit construction activities as necessary to preserve a <br />satisfactory noise environment during mornings and weekends. <br />WETLANDS/BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES OBJECTIVE: <br />TO ACHIEVE NO NET REDUCTION IN WETLAND OR RIPARIAN RESOURCES AS A RESULT OF <br />..-r-----DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE PLANNING AREA AND RETAIN SIGNIFICANT <br />DIOLOGICAL RESOURCES WHERE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF NEW DEVELOPMENT <br />Biological Resources Policy 1: Wetlands/Riparian Retention and <br />Replacement. Retain riparian corridors and wetland areas within the Planning <br />Area, or, where retention is not consistent with the land use development plan or <br />flood control objectives, replace disturbed wetlands and riparian corridors with <br />equal or greater area. <br />6-4 <br />
