City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum Addendum 109 a) Substantial Noise Increase in Excess of Standards Would the project: Expose persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Summary of Prior FEIR The Prior FEIR included an analysis of potential noise impacts associated with construction and operation of new development occurring pursuant to the General Plan. The Prior FEIR concluded that new development within the City would avoid significant impacts by conforming with requirements for acoustic analysis under the General Plan, as well as by achieving subsequent compliance with interior and exterior noise standards through application of any necessary special construction or noise the General Plan and in the current Pleasanton Municipal Code, the City would prevent the development of land uses in areas with inappropriately high ambient noise levels; would ensure that any development of noise-sensitive land uses include the study and adequate mitigation of noise impacts; and would prevent activities or new uses that generate excessive levels of noise at sensitive receptors. Therefore, the Prior FEIR determined that noise impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion Construction Future construction activities associated with the development of the proposed sites could generate short-term construction noise. This would produce similar construction noise impacts as identified in the Prior FEIR. Consistent with the Prior FEIR, the future housing development projects would be required to comply with the City’s Municipal Code requirements for construction noise, including restrictions on permissible hours of construction and compliance with the established maximum noise level threshold, which would ensure that construction noise impacts remain less than significant. Operation Traffic Noise Impacts Future development of the proposed sites would generate additional vehicle trips. As explained in Section 2, Project Description, maximum buildout of the proposed sites is within the scope of and would result in fewer housing units than what was analyzed in the certified Housing Element Update FEIR. Therefore, implementation would result in lower overall trip generation and would not result in a doubling of traffic volumes on any roadway segment
