There is no school or day care facility proposed. Neighborhood O osition The Community Development Department has received one letter of opposition, two letters of concern and five letters of support. The letter of opposition expressed concerns regarding noise and West Nile Virus. The letters of concern regarded traffic, services, and land use. The letters of support included a concern regarding trees on the property. Noise: A noise study was conducted by Bollard Acoustical Consultants dated December 2, 2008, because the Religious Assembly use type is a noise sensitive land use (Development Title Table 9- 1025.9 Part 1) and the proposed building lies within the 65 dBL noise contour for North State Route 99 East Frontage Road. The noise study concluded the project is not expected to significantly affect the existing or future noise environment in the surrounding community, and no exterior noise mitigation was recommended for the project since no proposed outdoor activity area is proposed. In order to satisfy the 45 dBL interior noise exposure limit, the developer shall install sound transmission class 35 or higher exterior windows and doors at the south and west facing building facades and mechanical ventilation systems should be included in the design. These mitigation measures have been incorporated into Conditions of Approval. West Nile Virus: One letter expressed concern with the potential of mosquitoes and West Nile Virus from the proposed retention pond. The Mosquito and Vector Control District has a Best Management Plan for mosquito prevention of breeding in storm retention ponds. :r� " Traffic: Neighbors expressed concerns about the impact of traffic the project will have on the surrounding area. A traffic study dated September 17, 2008 was conducted by Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. The Department of Public Works required a traffic study to be prepared to analyze the project's impact to traffic. The mitigation measures developed by the study include the following: The traffic study analyzed surrounding public roads and concluded there would be a potentially significant impact to the State Route 99 interchange with Morada Lane with the addition of the proposed project to the Cumulative (2030) conditions. However, the State Route 99 interchange with Morada Lane is anticipated to be reconstructed, and the significant impact identified likely would not exist with the ultimate configuration of the interchange. The traffic study recommended a narrow, raised median island along the entrance driveway to prevent cross-movement of the first parking aisle across the main entrance aisle. Roadside vegetation shall be removed, and a `No-Parking' zone shall be established along the proposed project's East Frontage Road frontage to preserve adequate stopping sight distance at the site driveway intersection.
