The 1-205 corridor located between the subject site and sensitive receptors <br /> farther south generates noise beyond the decibel limit likely to be <br /> experienced at the property boundaries of the subject site. In addition, the <br /> 1-205 freeway sound wall forms an effective sound barrier between the <br /> subject site and residential lands to the south. <br /> However, the activities inside the transfer building will produce a continuous <br /> change in the average daily noise levels in the vicinity of the site and will <br /> adversely affect ambient noise noticeable to those working in the vicinity. <br /> In addition to the measures listed above, continued compliance with the <br /> implementing policies set forth in the City's General Plan in regard to <br /> mitigation measures adopted by the City, should be required. <br /> All vehicles should be equipped with mufflers suited to the type of <br /> equipment. The north property boundary facing the open end of the transfer <br /> station shall be buffered with a masonry wall. Materials and design selected <br /> for the interior of the transfer building shall be designed to absorb noise to <br /> the maximum extent feasible given the nature of the proposed use, <br /> ventilation and sanitary practices. The type of interior and exterior noise <br /> attenuation shall be specified by an acoustical engineer prior to the issuance <br /> of building permits. (Certification to this effect shall accompany the <br /> application.) <br /> V1. LIGHT AND GLARE <br /> A. Description <br /> The subject site is adjacent to the 1-205 freeway corridor. <br /> B. Environmental Impacts <br /> Yes Maybe No <br /> 1. Will the proposal produce <br /> new light or glare? X <br /> C. Discussion of Evaluation <br /> The proposed development will be installed with exterior lighting which may <br /> produce glare. <br /> D. Mitigation <br /> Exterior materials or finishes should be of a type to minimize glare. On site <br /> lighting shall be directed down onto areas of the site intended to be <br /> illuminated and away from adjacent properties and areas. Low level lighting <br /> should be utilized. Footcandle of lighting should not exceed that required <br /> to provide safety and security. <br /> 28 <br />
