• Facilitate industrial and commercial development in South Stockton. <br /> • Improve access: to the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, which will benefit the <br /> regional economy. <br /> • Generate employment opportunities on a short-term basis during construction. <br /> • Indirectly generate long-term employment opportunities by facilitating industrial <br /> and commercial development in the South Stockton Planning Area. <br /> • Increase the appraised value of lands served by the road corridor. <br /> • Indirectly increase sales tax revenues by facilitating industrial and commercial <br /> development in the South Stockton Planning Area. <br /> ADDITIONAL OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS <br /> Noise <br /> Significant unavoidable Adverse Im act <br /> 1. Project construction could result in short-term increases in noise levels. <br /> 2.. Traffic on the proposed arterial could result in long-term exposure of existing and <br /> future uses along the corridor to unacceptable noise levels. <br /> Overridmg Considerations � <br /> - t •r:i2 i :'k'- r„ylµ a°`i, .... 3'f"�•'� y 's " -.1 "� - ...T r .} < tii t,•'Re,Iy{ P o'sa �- ..„i- > <br /> Much of~the projedt`corridor:is currently located wwithm the 60-decEbel noise <br /> contour.”due'to'existing,noise-generating activities._ .Such activities include traffic on <br /> Interstate 5, State'.Routo 99.and local streets, as well as railroad, aircraft and industrial <br /> operations. Implementation of the proposed project will further increase noise levels. In <br /> the short-term, construction work will result in increased noise levels. In the long term, <br /> increased traffic volumes will expose existing residential and other noise sensitive uses <br /> to higher noise levels than are currently being experienced. Noise levels may also <br /> increase to the extent that road construction facilitates additional industrial and <br /> commercial development in the South Stockton area. The degree to which noise levels <br /> may increase cannot be fully determined at this time, but will be further evaluated as <br /> detailed plans for each phase of the project are developed. <br /> Numerous measures are available to minimize noise exposure, particularly for <br /> construction of new structures. Noise level increases may primarily affect older <br /> 17 <br />
