In addition, a noise study was required to ensure compliance with the Noise Standards specified in Development Title Section 9- 1025.9 regarding stationary noise standards (50 dB Hourly Equivalent Sound Level daytime, 45 dB Hourly Equivalent Sound Level nighttime, 70 dB maximum sound daytime, 65 dB maximum sound nighttime). Each of the noise level standards are reduced by 5 dB for noise primarily consisting of speech or music.
