ba1ku'4: SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT 3 `. iBtD E.NALELTON AVE.,STOCKTON,CA 832WM2 tee, d rNoNE:20&488x121 FAX:2081488-4163 April 21, 2005 MEMORANDUM TO: Development Committee FROM: Raymond Hoo, Associate Planner SUBJECT: MAJOR SUBDIVISION APPLICATION PA-0400524 OF CENTURY 21 PROPERTIES UNLIMITED (C/O SHOUP LAND SURVEYING) (APN: 157-140- 10,40,51) (ADDRESS: 3782 E. GUERNSEY AVENUE, STOCKTON) The applicant has submitted the above referenced Major Subdivision application to subdivide 6.67 acres into twenty-six(26) residential lots. The project site is located on the south side of Guernsey Avenue, 250 feet east of State Route 99, east of Stockton. The property has a General Plan designation of R/L (Low Density Residential) and is zoned R-L (Low Density Residential). The Community Development Department has reviewed Major Subdivision Application No. PA- 0400524 and offers the following comments: Noise Wall The applicant submitted a noise study prepared by Charles M. Salter Associates. To mitigate for traffic noise emanating from State Route 99, the noise study recommends a sound wall be built along the western property line, and along portions of the northern and southern boundaries. The incorporation of a sound wall along the western property line could have an effect on future noise levels for the existing residences located between the project site and State Route 99 due to the noise being reflected off of the sound wall. In order to mitigate the increase in noise levels to these neighboring residences, the western face of the sound wall should be treated with acoustically absorptive materials, such as the planting of landscaping (trees, bushes, or ivy) on or along the wall, or the use of sound absorptive material on the wall. In the event that an earthen berm is utilized for the noise wall within the riparian setback of Lot 17, the location of the berm may be within the 100-foot open space area, and its direction may be modified by the Planning Director in consultation with the noise consultant. If the sound wall to be constructed will not be an earthen berm, it must be located outside of the 100-foot open space area. These mitigation measures will be included as a condition of approval for the proposed Major Subdivision application. t
