incorporated into the Project, will reduce the significant environmental impact to a <br />less than significant level. <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measures indicate <br />that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. <br />1.Construction activities would include demolition, site <br />preparation, paving, and building construction, in addition to construction for off- <br />site improvements such as roadways, storm drainage, and utilities. Construction <br />would involve the use of heavy equipment (e.g., front loader, graders, haul <br />trucks) in addition to small power tools, generators, and hand tools that would be <br />sources of noise. <br />2.Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.J-1 set forth in <br />Table 6-1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the MMRP applies to all potential sites <br />for rezoning and will ensure that Impact 4.J-1 would be reduced to a less than <br />significant level and is hereby incorporated by reference and described below. <br />4.J-1: In addition to requiring that all project developers comply with the <br />applicable construction noise exposure criteria established within the City's <br />Municipal Code 9.04.100, the City shall require developers on the potential sites <br />for rezoning to implement construction best management practices to reduce <br />construction noise, including: <br />a.Locate stationary construction equipment as far from adjacent occupied <br />buildings as possible. <br />b.Select routes for movement of construction-related vehicles and <br />equipment so that noise-sensitive areas, including residences, and outdoor <br />recreation areas, are avoided as much as possible. Include these routes in <br />materials submitted to the City of Pleasanton for approval prior to the issuance of <br />building permits. <br />c.All site improvements and construction activities shall be limited to the <br />hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. In addition, no <br />construction shall be allowed on State and federal holidays. If complaints are <br />received regarding the Saturday construction hours, the Community <br />Development Director may modify or revoke the Saturday construction hours. <br />The Community Development Director may allow earlier "start-times" for specific <br />construction activities (e.g., concrete-foundation/floor pouring), if it can be <br />demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director that the <br />construction and construction traffic noise will not affect nearby residents. <br />d.All construction equipment must meet DMV noise standards and shall be <br />equipped with muffling devices. <br />e.Designate a noise disturbance coordinator who will be responsible for <br />responding to complaints about noise during construction. The telephone number <br />of the noise disturbance coordinator shall be conspicuously posted at the <br />construction site and shall be provided to the City of Pleasanton. Copies of the <br />construction schedule shall also be posted at nearby noise-sensitive areas.
