City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project <br />Addendum CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum <br /> <br /> <br />110 <br />near the proposed sites. As a result, traffic noise levels would not increase by <br />3 dBA, much less a 4 dBA increase that the City considers to be significant. <br />Therefore, project-related traffic noise impacts would remain less than <br />significant. <br />Compliance with Applicable Plans, Policies, or Regulations <br />Like the development contemplated in the Prior FEIR, future development <br />facilitated by the proposed project could expose new noise-sensitive uses to <br />traffic or railroad noise levels in excess of the City’s established normally <br />acceptable noise land use compatibility standards. However, the proposed <br />project would not expand the scope of development evaluated, introduce <br />new development types, or increase development intensity beyond what <br />was previously analyzed, and as such any future development projects <br />would be required to demonstrate compliance with General Plan Noise <br />Element Policy 1, 2, and 3 and incorporate any necessary project design <br />features that would reduce traffic noise impacts for proposed development <br />on that project site. <br />Therefore, compliance with Noise Element Policies 1, 2, and 3 would ensure <br />that the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse <br />impact that was not previously identified and disclosed in the Prior FEIR. No <br />further analysis is required. <br />Stationary Operational Noise Impacts-Mechanical Equipment Operations <br />Like the development contemplated in the Prior FEIR, stationary sources, such <br />as mechanical equipment, from future development facilitated by the <br />proposed project could exceed the City’s 60 dBA property line standard if <br />located within 25 feet of the boundary. However, required adherence to <br />Noise Element Policies 1, 2, and 3, including Programs 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 3.1, and <br />3.2, which require project-specific noise studies and noise attenuation <br />features to ensure projects meet acceptable interior and exterior noise level <br />standards, would ensure that stationary source impacts would be reduced to <br />less than significant. <br />Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and the proposed project <br />would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not <br />previously identified and disclosed in the Prior FEIR. No further analysis is <br />required.
