Our thoughts are with him and his family during this difficult time. Councilmember Hilkey, reported that in the August 2003 issue of the Inland Empire Magazine Demetri's was listed as having one of the best burgers in the Inland Empire. He reported that La Pasta Italia sells spaghetti for lunch,which is very good. Councilmember Larkin,reminded everyone ofthe Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast on Sunday which will benefit the Grand Terrace Branch Library. He congratulated the New Governor of California and feels that it will be very interesting to see what happens. He reminded everyone that most of the Vehicle Licensing Fees that we pay go to local governments so it will be the cities and counties that will be hurt by lowering those fees. Hopefully if they take Council Minutes October 9,2003 Page 3 action to lower those fees they will also consider the impact that it will have on the local cities and counties and do something to back fill the loss. Mayor Garcia, reported on the League of California Cities ballot initiative. The City Selection group will be voting on the LAFCO representatives and the AQMD representatives on December 6`h.

An Ordinance of the City of Grand Terrace, California Approving General Plan Amendment GPA-03-01, E-03-05 Adding the Noise Element and Respective Negative Declaration Gary Koontz, Community & Economic Development Director, indicated that the Noise Element is a State Mandated Element for the General Plan.' l John Lampe, Associate Planner, indicated that the Nosie Element has been written and prepared to comply with the State's Guidelines and contains a detailed discussion on the existing and future noise environments in the City of Grand Terrace. He recommended that the Council approve the Noise Element as recommended by the Planning Commission, approve the Negative Declaration as required by the California Environmental Quality Act, and adopt the said Noise Element by Ordinance. Councilmember Larkin,'indicated that some of the policies are vague will staff be bringing back more specific guidance as far as the policies are concerned. r - Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that we have the ability to implement these policies through an actual Noise Ordinance. If the Council would like to see these policies included in a Noise Ordinance staff can do that. Councilmember Larkin,he realizes that noise needs to betaken into consideration,however, Council Minutes October 9,2003 Page 4 he would like staff to consider the added costs when we add to the development of a location. When we say development should be non-noise producing when they are located near residential area,etc.is fine as long as we don't have the problem of encroaching onto a place that was there beforehand. Community & Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that a lot of this is dealing with proposed development. Whenever they look at a land use permit they are required to evaluate that permit relative to all of the elements of the general plan so this is basically putting into words what is pretty much done already. If there is a high noise generator anywhere near sensitive land use they would definitely be looking at that and asking for the additional studies. This element is basically backing up what staff would currently be doing in proper planning. Mayor Garcia opened discussion to the public. Betty Guzman, 23202 Glendora Drive, questioned what policies would be voted on. Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that the policies on,the Element focus on assuring that sensitive noise receptors are protected from high noise levels. It really doesn't talk about specific programs like putting up noise walls along the freeways. It does relate to that if there is a noise issue of sensitive land use. Consideration should be made toward imposing some type of mitigation program. This Element is really looking at how the City protects sensitive noise generators, where high noise generators would be located, and what type of mitigation measures we would be looking at. Mayor Garcia, indicated that staff report includes all of the background information. Mayor Garcia returned discussion to the Council. Councilmember Hilkey, stated that he realizes that adopting this Noise Element is a procedural matter. He questioned if our policies affect the design standards of the freeway. Community&Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that he may need to get another opinion on this,however,he believes that you are dealing at a local level,then at the State Level, then at the Federal Level and each one of those levels has a certain amount of responsibility and leeway. He feels that it is a matter ofworking with Caltrans to accomplish what is good for everyone, with regards to freeway design. Councilmember Hilkev, feels that since we know that we are going to get a freeway within the next twenty years this would be a good opportunity for the community to say what type of sound walls we would like along the freeway and detail the specifics. r' Council Minutes October 9,2003 Page 5 Community&Economic Development Director Koontz, indicated that he doesn't feel that it is appropriate to put that level of detail in a general plan element. This is basic guidelines toward implementation. Caltrans and SANBAG have started their planning and environmental-processes and he believes that the City will have ample opportunity during that initial planning phase to work with them and make sure that any special needs are addressed at that time. CC-2003-117 MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM FERRE, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER LARKIN,CARRIED 4-0-1-0(COUNCILMEMBER CORTES WAS ABSENT),to approve the Noise Element as recommended by the Planning Commission, approve the Negative Declaration as required by the California Environmental Quality Act and approve the first reading of an Ordinance of the City of Grand Terrace,California Approving General Plan Amendment GPA-03-01, E-03-05 Adding the Noise Element and Respective Negative Declaration.

This contract is set to begin November 1, 2003. The City of Colton relies on the animal housing services from the City of San Bernardino and required the City of Grand Terrace to negotiate a contract with the City of San Bernardino.

At the October 6, 2003 meeting of the City of San Bernardino, the council passed the attached contract.

This contract with the City of San Bernardino mirrors the timeline with the contract with the City of Colton. The Colton contract can be terminated at any time with due cause and the San Bernardino City contract can be terminated with a 90-days notice.

General services include: • Patrolling for loose dogs • Canvassing for license fees • Attending to animal related complaints and law violations _ Sheltering of animals at the county animal facility • Rabies Clinics DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS At the July 22, 2003 Grand Terrace City Council Meeting, the council approved a new Animal Control Contract, with minor modifications, with the City of Colton. 'This contract is set to begin November 1, 2003. Staff has been working closely with the Colton Police Department, who administer the Animal Control contract for both Colton and Grand Terrace. Both city staffs worked on bringing our municipal codes up to date by incorporating language from the Colton Municipal Codes and modifying.it into our codes. This accomplished the following: -Enforcement consistency -Addressing more animal related issues -Updating outdated information The proposed Fee Schedule has been updated to include multi-year discounts and flexibility in the rates for dogs that cannot be-spayed/neutered. The licensing rates for f dogs are the same as those charged by the previous animal control contractor, The County of San Bernardino. The proposed Fee Schedule will not be approved until the next council meeting. Staff wanted the council and the public time to review and discuss the proposed rates. Staff has added a voluntary program for licensing cats. This effort was designed to help cat owners locate a lost cat should one be brought to the shelter or found by another resident. Licensing will not begin until January 2004 and be done annually thereafter. There will be two animal licensing clinics in January 2004 for local pet owners to attend. Once clinic will be mid-week in the evening and the other will be on the weekend during the day. In addition, mailers will go out to every home announcing the new licensing program. Current licensees and dog owners that have not renewed their dog licenses will receive a personal letter from Community Services on the importance of licensing their pets. Active enforcement is critical to this program since a majority of the funding of the animal control contract comes from the license fees.

Purpose: The Noise Element of a General Plan is the basis for achieving and maintaining enviromnental noise control. The Element establishes goals, policies, and programs so that residents of the City of Grand Terrace will be protected from excessive noise. It also is an essential element for updating and maintaining the land use, circulation and housing elements. The Noise Element establishes guidelines to govern future construction and noise abatement programs by identifying major noise sources. These noise sources are both mobile noise and stationary noise. It also inventories sensitive receptors such as schools, religious institutes, convalescent homes and sensitive wildlife habitats. It also determines the extent of noise problems in the community, and inventories existing and proposed land use controls in conjunction with noise contours. By using existing and projected noise contours,the City can select and impose methods of noise attenuation and the protection of residential land uses and other sensitive receptors from existing and foreseeable noise problems. The Noise Element is one of the mandatory elements of the City's General Plan. State law requires each jurisdiction to have a general plan with seven (7) mandatory elements. These include the land use element, circulation element, housing element, conservation element, open space element, safety element and the noise element. This Noise Element will replace the noise hazards discussion in the Hazards Element of the existing General Plan of the City. J II. Existing, and Future Noise Environments: The most significant noise-producing activities within the City of Grand Terrace involve transportation activities. These include arterial streets, the I-215 Freeway, rail lines, and aircraft operations. In addition, numerous fixed sources of noise exist within portions of the city.The following secjion provides a discussion of the noise measurements obtained and an inventory of noise sources. From these measurements and complementing analytical procedures, noise exposure contours have been derived and noise impacts identified for the City of Grand Terrace. A. Noise Survey Results: A total of twenty (20)locations within the City of Grand Terrace were surveyed to establish the existing noise levels. These measurement sites were selected to determine the impact of noise on residential areas due to traffic on the major arterials (including the 1=215 freeway), train movements on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe(BNSF) and Southern Pacific(SP)rail lines, and flight operations from San Bernardino International Airport. A total of six (6) 24- hour noise measurements, and fourteen (14) limited noise measurements were obtained throughout the City. Figure 1 provides the location of the noise measurement positions. Appendix 11 of the attached Teclvlical Memorandum provides the noise level data measured at each position. 1 J WV Or COLION Q 4' If pi: Or COLI&I - � •••••.,`••. .-'/tl ltlmnlnrtmmni .I '�- /�- - ` _ '�rrl�l I full •,��II1Nllo - �� �. ��•` � ! � r, _ - - �� I in r o, •ji 'r Im ann�urllmlrr1 �I ,7/dili�ili i i '_.- --- 1 npn ht f I I r ,nIIINII "�' r" "l,l �UIII II'llllll�!/h'1'I'r!'� �= f nnw nmmmn `:'�I��IIIliiBlf(n1611�1'�`i I��>}i,� I u � II�L41 I I�IIl1l�Il�111Vi1, (� r�" mill HIJI In - r l.� —_ ��, 1 I-,., 13 I�� I I�I I��� »1� •�=����2muuhlu•cl^ ��, - _ I_ / 14 :- uuo� I(V�I�IISIlllll ' 1111 1• �. mm 1 1G fit h 20` _ ... .Tat _ 1 I � CITY OF - Location of the Noise Measurement Positions FIGURE 1 GRAND TERRACE The following provides an inventory of noise sources measured within the City of Grand Terrace and the ranges of maximum sound levels generated by these sources: Noise Source Range of Sound,Li Commercial jet flyover 46 to 67 dB(A) Private aircraft flyover 47 to 59 dB (A) Traffic on city streets 56 to 82 dB(A) Traffic on the I-215 freeway 66 to 73 dB(A) Activity at the lumberyard 58 to 79 dB(A) These noise sources were measured at various locations throughout the City. Therefore, the noise levels are not necessarily indicative of any particular area or location. B. Community Noise Equivalent Level .(CNEL) Contours: Figures 2 and 3 provide the CNEL contours for the existing and future noise environments within the City of Grand Terrace, respectively. Two 400-scale exhibits are also available in the offices of the City of Grand Terrace Conununity Development Department.Both provi de the CNEL contours ranging from 60 to 80 dB in 5 dB increments. Appendix II of the Technical Memorandum provides the noise level data measured at each position. The CNEL contours for the major arterials and freeway within the City of Grand Terrace have been developed utilizing a methodology based on a simplified version of the Federal Highway Administration's Traffic Noise Model and traffic data obtained from Caltrans and the City of Grand Terrace (with the extension of Commerce Way, without the North-South Corridor �J project,and without the Iowa extension).The railroad contours were developed based on Wyle Laboratories computational procedures using data obtained from the various rail companies and Metrolink. The CNEL contour for flight operations at San Bernardino International Airport as they impact the City of Grand Terrace are provided in Figure 4. These contours have been obtained from reports provided by the Inland Valley Development Agency and San Bernardino International Airport Authority. C. Mobile Noise source: The most significant noise-producing activity within the City of Grand Terrace involves transportation activities including arterial streets; the I-215 Freeway, rail lines, and aircraft operations. These noise sources were measured at various locations throughout the City. Therefore, the noise levels are not necessarily indicative of any particular area or location. Freeway Traffic Noise: The results of 24-hour measurements indicate CNELs of 75 to 80 dB at rear yards with direct exposure to the freeway. This level is higher than is considered acceptable and will compromise the welfare of residents exposed to the noise for a long period of time. /'.�'�./�r' i cp IIIIIIII (IIIIIIII +-IL'�IIIIIIIII�il� �•��• �'_ ���, \rh �' .�:�1 e ti°� �71ll)➢111fllll➢!IU11fT['.l i llgnlm�t._ _ /� _ �-= �I -_ �t, r`�iA•I A n,pl IY , -- -- f1\,y��`'\"\``\)NN I I>/�C I 71 - _ -- �" 11�1]!

Hence, the noise exposure at these areas is considered excessive: Arterials Reach Time Frame Barton Road La Cadena to Hilltop Existing & Future De Berry Street Commerce to Michigan Existing La Cadena Drive Barton to Rancho Existing & Future t_ Michigan Avenue Barton to Van Buren Existing & Future Van Buren to Main Future Mt. Vernon Avenue Main to Van Buren Future Van Buren to Barton Existing & Future Transportation-related activities are primary sources of noise affecting the quality of life in Grand Terrace. Effective reduction of noise associated with transportation is necessary to ensure protection from the detrimental effects of excessive noise. Noise from Train Movements on the BNSF Rail Line.- Currently,there are approximately 30 freight trains and 9 Metrolink trains per day operating on the BNSF rail line within the City of Grand Terrace. This current level of operation generates an unmitigated CNEL in the range of 70 to 75 dB. Future volumes are expected to increase to 67 freight trains and 22 Metrolink trains per day. This is expected to increase the unmitigated CNEL to 75 to 80 dB. Both the current and projected CNELs are considered to be a significant impact requiring miti gation.The primary source of annoyance is]ate night and early morning train passes. Noise f-om Train Movements on the SP Rail Line. Information provided by the rail company indicates that current operations on the SP rail spur consist of two trains or less per day.There are no plans to increase this volume in the future. Because of this lowlevel of activity;the impact ofthis noise source is considered insignificant. Noise frrom San Bernardino International Airport: In December 1999.noise measurements were obtained in Grand Terrace in order to assess the noise exposure being generated IN-oughout the area by flight operations at San Bernardino International Airport. The results of the measurements indicate maximum noise levels of 46 to 67 dB(A) due to over flights. Based on information provided by the Inland Valley Development Agency and San Bernardino International Airport Authority, the CNEL generated by the airport is less than 60 dB throughout the city. Therefore, the impact is considered to be potentially insignificant. A Stationary Noise Source: These noise sources may not be the most significant noise to the entire city:but none the less stationary noise are a detriment to residential land use when commercial and residential uses 7 are adjacent to each other. Conzmercialllndustrial Noise.- In general, commercial/industrial noise within the City of Grand Terrace is not considered excessive. However, where residential locations are adjacent to industrial zones or trucking operations,a significant impact may exist.This impact is primarily related to noise generated by: • loading dock operations, • trucks entering and leaving the area, and • mechanical equipment located both inside and outside the building(s). An example of this occurs at the residential community on Tanager Street and Royal Avenue. These homes abut a lumberyard. Measurements obtained at a residence in this community indicate maximum noise levels that range from 57 to 79 dB(A). Construction Activity The impact of construction noise that occurs during the daytime is considered minimal for no more than two or three months of activity. However, late night and weekend disturbances caused by construction noise may create a significant impact when experienced at nearby residential locations. E. Sensitive Non-Residential Receptors: In general,the sound levels at noise-sensitive non-residential locations within the City are not considered excessive. However, the following areas are located within an existing or future 65 dB CNEL contour: Terrace Hills Junior High School, Religious school on Barton Road east of Mt. Vernon Avenue, Private school on Mt. Vernon Avenue north of Barton Road, Grand Terrace Elementary School on Barton Road, and Grand Ten-ace Library. IIl.

IV. Noise Element Implementation Program: The following programs will implement the goals, objectives and policies of the City's Noise Element: A. Transportation Noise Control: 1. Roadway Improvement Projects: The principal method of protecting sensitive land uses from traffic noise is the construction of noise barriers in concert with road improvement projects. The City will request, where necessary to mitigate identified adverse significant noise impacts, the inclusion of sound walls, earthen berms, or other acoustical barriers as part of any Caltrans or County roadway project. 2. Motor Vehicle Noise Control: To minimize or reduce noise impacts on residential and other sensitive land uses, the Community Development Department, the Building and Safety/Public Works Department, the Police (Sheriff) Department and the California Highway Patrol will: 1) enforce and periodically evaluate truck and bus movernents and routes to reduce impacts on sensitive areas, and 2) promote coordination between City Police (Sheriff) and the California Highway Patrol to enforce the State's Motor Vehicle noise standards. 3. Rail Line Noise Control: The principal methods of protecting sensitive land uses from train vehicle hoise are the construction of noise barriers, reduction of vehicle speed, the use of well- maintained welded track, rubberized crossings and whistle blowing procedures. The Community Development Department and the Building and Safety/Public Works Department will seek assistance from the Public Utilities Commission, the Southern California Regional Rail Authority and the Railroads to implement these methods. 4. Aviation Noise: Work to reduce noise impacts resulting from aircraft operations at San Bernardino International Airport by 1) participating and monitoring the planning processes for the airport, and 2) continuing to discourage general and commercial aviation activities that increase noise exposure to sensitive land uses. B. Non-Transportation Noise Control: 1.Noise Ordinance Enforcement: 14 The City will enforce its Noise Ordinance to reduce excessive noise from site- specific sources such as construction activity, mechanical equipment, landscaping maintenance, loud music,truck traffic, loading and unloading activities, and other sources. C. Noise and Land Use Planning Integration: 1.Noise Ordinance Enforcement: The Community Development Department and the Police (Sheriff) Department will enforce the City's Noise Ordinance to reduce excessive noise from site- specific sources such as construction sites, mechanical equipment, landscaping maintenance, loud music, truck traffic, loading and unloading activities and other sources. 2. Community Standards Application: The Conununity Development Department, tlu-ough the Design Review process, will apply the Noise Element standards of compatibility described in Tables 1 and 2 to new development proposals and methods to mitigate anticipated impacts such as building orientation and acoustical barriers, shall be applied to meet the standards. 3.Noise Insulation: Interior and exterior noise levels for proposed new development shall be required by the Community Development Department and Building and Safety/Public Works Department to meet the California Noise Insulation Standards (Title 24 of the California Administrative Code). These standards shall also be applied to all single-family developments and condominium conversion projects where feasible. 4. Acoustical Analysis: Acoustical analysis reports, prepared by a qualified acoustical consultant, will be required by the Community Development Department for new sensitive land uses within noise impact areas (i.e. area where existing or future CNEL exceeds 60 dB). V. General Terms (]Noise Evaluation and Measurement): A-Weighted Sound Level To establish the A-weighted sound level,the acoustical signal is detected by the microphone and then filtered to weight those portions of the noise that are most annoying to individuals. This weighting of sound energy corresponds approximately to the relative annoyance experienced by humans from noise at various frequencies. The sound levels of a few typical sources of noise that are routinely experienced by people within Grand Terrace are listed in Figure 5. The A-weighted sound level of traffic noise and other long-term noise producing activities within and around a community varies considerably with time.Measures of this varying noise level are accomplished by obtaining statistical samples. For the purposes of this study, the 15 following statistical values have been used: Leq: The energy equivalent(average)sound level. This value is most representative of the long-term annoyance potential as well as other effects of the noise. Lmax: The maximum sound level. Lmin: The minimum sound level. Ln: The sound level exceeded n% of the time (e.g.,L25 is the sound level exceeded 25% of the time). These measures may be recorded to obtain representative samples of the noise during certain time periods (e.g., peak traffic period, late evening, early morning, etc.). Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) It is recognized that a given level of noise may be more or less tolerable depending on the duration of exposure and the time of day during which the noise is experienced. There are several measures of noise exposure that consider not only the variation of noise level but also include temporal characteristics. Of these, the State Department of Aeronautics and the California Commission of Housing and Community Development have adopted the CNEL. This measure weights the average noise level for the evening hours (from 7:00 p.m.to 10:00 p.m.) by 5 dB, and the late evening and early morning hours (from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) by 10 dB.The un-weighted daytime noise levels are combined with these weighted levels and averaged to obtain a CNEL value. Figure 6 indicates the outdoor CNEL at typical locations throughout the Southern California area. Acceptable Exterior Noise Exposures Figure 7 indicates the CNEL considered acceptable for various land use categories. In general, exterior noise exposures at residential locations should not exceed a CNEL of 65 dB. The Envirojunental Protection Agency(EPA)has recommended a policy stating that an Ldn (or CNEL)of 55 dB should not be exceeded within exterior living spaces. However,the EPA emphasizes that this level of exposure may not be economically feasible, or, in many cases; a practical level to achieve. Acceptable Interior Noise Exposures California' s noise insulation standards were officially adopted by the California Commission of Housing and Community Development in 1974 and became effective on August 22. 1974. On November 14, 1988, the Building Standards Commission approved revisions to these standards (Title 24, Part 2, California Code of Regulations). The ruling states that. "Interior noise levels attributable to exterior sources shall not exceed 45 dB in any habitable room. The noise metric shall be either ... Ldn or ... CNEL, consistent with 16 Threshold of pain -120 dB(A) Disco 110 dB(A) Textile mill — Printmg plant — 100 dB(A) Jackhammer at 50' Power lawn mower at 5' 90 dB(A) Heavy truck at 50' — Concrete mixer at 50' —80 dB(A) ••-- _-..

Additionally, the Commission specifies that residential buildings or structures to be located within exterior CNEL (or Ldn) contours of 60 dB or greater of an existing or adopted freeway, expressway,parkway, major street, thoroughfare, rail line, rapid transit line, or industrial noise source shall require an acoustical analysis showing that the building has been designed to limit intruding noise to an interior CNEL of 45 dB. Annovance and Health Considerations In general, noise may affect the average individual in the following ways: General Hearing Loss or Damage Sound levels which exceed 85 dB (A), when experienced for long durations during each working day, may result in severe temporary or even permanent hearing loss. State and federal safety and health regulations currently protect workers at levels of exposure that exceed 90 dB (A) for each 8-hour workday. Interference With Oral Communication Speech intelligibility is impaired when sound levels exceed 60 dB (A). The amount of interference increases with sound level and distance between speaker and listener. Sleep Interference Sound levels that exceed 40 to 45 dB (A) are generally considered to be excessive for sleeping areas within a residence. VI. Definitions: The following common terms are used throughout the Noise Element Technical Memorandum: Ambient Noise , The composite of noise from all sources near and far. In this context, the ambient noise level constitutes the normal or existing level of enviromnental noise at a given location. Amplitude A measure of the difference between atmospheric pressure (with no sound present) and the total pressure (with sound present). Although there are other measures of sound amplitude, sound pressure is the fundamental measure.The unit of sound pressure is the decibel,denoted dB. A- Weighted Sound Pressure Level. dB (A) The sound pressure level; in decibels, as measured on a sound level meter using the A- weighting filter network. The A-weighting filter de-emphasizes the very low and a very high frequency component of the sound in a manner similar to the response of the human ear and gives good correlation with subjective reactions to noise. 20 Community Noise Equivalent Level. CNEL_ The average equivalent A-weighted sound level during a 24-hour day obtained by adding five decibels to the hourly noise levels measured during the evening(from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm) and by adding ten decibels to the hourly noise levels measured during the night(from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am). In this way,CNEL takes into account the lower tolerance of people for noise during evening and nighttime periods. Day-Night Sound Level. Ldn The measure of noise exposure used by the EPA,HUD,FAA and the Department of Defense. It is the same as CNTEL except that the Nveighting considered (in CNEL) between the hours from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm is eliminated. Throughout this technical memorandum, Ldn and CNEL are assumed to be the same measure.This is consistent with the recommended practice of the State of California Office of Noise Control. Decibel. dB A unit for describing the amplitude of sound, equal to 20 times the logaritlnn to the base 10 of the ratio of the pressure of the measured sound to the reference pressure,which is 20 micro Pascals. Because they are logarithmic, decibels are not additive. If two similar noise sources produce the same amount of noise (e.g., 100 decibels each),the total noise level will be 103 dB,not 200 dB.An increase in noise level of 10 dB is generally perceived as being twice as loud. Exterior Living Space Open area designed for outdoor living and/or recreation. Maximum Noise Level The maximum instantaneous noise level that occurs during a specific time interval. In acoustics, the maximum sound pressure level is understood to be for single events unless some other kind of level is specified. Noise Annoying, harmful, or unwanted sound. Noise Barrier A structure designed to mitigate the impact generated by a noise source(e.g.,an arterial or rail line)at an adjacent noise-sensitive location. Barriers should be continuous structures without gaps and should be constructed of a material that is impervious to noise(e.g.,concrete block, stucco-on-wood, wood-on-wood, Y4" tempered glass, earthen berm; or any combination of these materials). Noise Contour A line drawn around a noise source indicating constant levels of noise exposure. CNEL is the metric utilized herein to describe conununity exposure to noise. 21 Noise Impact Area A specific area exposed to significant levels of noise. Noise Reduction The ability of a material to reduce the noise level from one place to another or between one room and another. Noise reduction is specified in decibels. Noise-Sensitive Land Uses Noise-sensitive land uses include, but are not limited to: residences, schools, libraries; hospitals, churches, offices,hotels,motels, and outdoor recreational area's. These typify land uses ",here suitability is restricted by intrusive noises. Hence, they are termed "noise- sensitive". Noise sensitivity factors include interference with speech communication, subjective judgment of noise acceptability and relative noisiness,need for freedom from noise intrusion;and sleep interference criteria.The Land Use Element of the General Plan provides a description of the residential areas throughout the city and is considered the source for the inventory of noise-sensitive areas. Sound As used herein,sound is a reaction in the ear caused by radiant energy being transmitted from a source by longitudinal pressure waves in air or some other elastic medium. Sound Level Meter A measurement instrument containing a microphone, an amplifier, an output meter, and one or more frequency weighting networks. It is used for the determination of sound levels. VI.

Koontz Community.Development Director Printed Name Title Community Development Department 2 Initial Study and Envirommental Analysis Evaluation of Environmental Impacts: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a. lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g.the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved,including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) "Potential Significant Impact"is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potential Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, and EIR is required. 4) "Potential Significant Unless Mitigated Incorporated'' applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potential Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures. and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level(mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier Analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). References to a previously prepared or outside docurnent should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached.and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
