NOISE The Community Development Department requires the preparation of an acoustical study in instances where it has been determined that a project may expose existing or proposed 'j noise sensitive land uses to noise levels exceeding the noise standards specified in Development Title Table 9-1025.9. Projects that lie within the 65dB noise contour in the General Plan may expose existing or proposed noise sensitive land uses to noise levels exceeding the noise standards. This project lies within the 65dB noise contour for Interstate 5. Motels are classified as a noise sensitive land use. Therefore, an approved noise study will be required before this project can be approved. The noise study will be used for the noise portion of the environmental assessment. Noise sensitive land uses that will be impacted by existing or planned transportation noise sources are required to mitigate the noise levels from these transportation noise sources so that the resulting noise levels do not exceed the standards specified in Development Title Table 9-1025.9, Part 1. (65 dB Ldn for outdoor activity areas and 45 dB Ldn for interior spaces) r PARKING The Site Plan indicates 21 spaces for the truck stop, 64 spaces for the gas station/convenience store, 52 spaces for the restaurant, and 83 spaces for the hotel for a total of 220 spaces. The application indicates 44 employees. The Development Title parking requirements are based on Use Type, size of buildings, and number of employees. Truck stops and gas station/convenience stores require four parking spaces per one thousand square feet of building (including fuel islands) and 0.67 spaces per employee. Full service restaurants require ten parking spaces per one thousand square feet of building and 0.67 spaces per employee, Drive-through restaurants require five parking spaces per one thousand square feet of building and 0.67 spaces per employee. Hotels require 0.67 parking spaces per employee and one space per room. (Development Title section 9-1015.3) Therefore, the total minimum number of required parking spaces is 220, including 11 accessible spaces. Four of the accessible spaces must be van accessible. The number of parking spaces shown on the site plan meets this requirement. One tree is required for every five parking spaces for a total of forty-four trees. The trees must be evenly planted throughout the parking lot. (Development Title Section 9-1020.5) ACCESS The Site Plan indicates a proposed driveway from the northwest corner of the parcel onto the adjacent private property. The Site Plan needs to clarify the unobstructed flow of truck traffic to either the northern or central access roads. SCREENING There are two residences adjacent to the project area. If a commercial project abuts an existing residential use, a solid masonry wall six to seven in height must be erected along the abutting property line (Section 9-1022.4[d]). Therefore, a masonry wall will be required along the north and south property lines such that the adjacent residences are screened from the commercial use. 2
