1 KLEINFEL®E <br /> \ Bright People.Right Solutions. <br /> Impacts of Transportation-Related Noise Associated with the Project on Land Uses in <br /> the Project Vicinity <br /> The CSAI study also quantified noise that would be generated by project-related truck <br /> and other traffic increases. Transportation-related noise was compared to the <br /> applicable standards for noise-sensitive land uses as shown in the Development Code. <br /> For residential uses, the standard is 65 dB Ldn for outdoor areas and 45 dB Ldn for <br /> indoor spaces. Indoor standards of 45 dB can ordinarily be maintained if the outdoor <br /> levels fall within standards. Commercial and Industrial land uses are not identified as <br /> 11noise-sensitiveland uses. <br /> Calculated transportation-related noise levels at residential land uses in the project <br /> t vicinity (along E. Myrtle Street) would not exceed 65 dB Ldn. Actual noise levels at the <br /> residences would likely be below the predicted level due to the presence of existing and <br /> required mitigation barriers between the noise source and receptor. <br /> Level of Significance: Less than significant <br /> Mitigation Measures: None required <br /> IPotentially Less Than Less Than No <br /> 12.POPULATION USI — Significant Significant Significant Impact <br /> Impact With Impact <br /> Mitigation <br /> Would the project: Incorporation <br /> a.

The City of <br /> Stockton has grown from a 1990 population of 211,000 (California Department of <br /> Finance, Report E-4) to a 2010 U.S. Census population of 291,707, which amounts to <br /> total growth over that period of about 38.3%. The 2010 U.S. Census reports 99,637 <br /> housing units in the City of Stockton. The California Department of Finance estimates <br /> that about 72% of the housing units in Stockton in 2010 were single-family units, <br /> approximately 27% were multi-family units, and about 1% were mobile home units <br /> (California Department of Finance Report E-5a, 2010). <br /> 121339 -STO!1 8226 3-51 October 14, 2011 <br /> Copyright 2011 Kleinfelder <br />
