2525 North Main Street January 14, 2019 Page 22 Impacts to Utilities Sections 4.13 and 4.14 of the Draft EIR analyzed the impacts of the project on water supply, wastewater, drainage, water quality, and energy. Technical reports including a Water Supply Assessment, Sewer Analysis and Hydrology Report were prepared for the project. As proposed the project would result in a less than significant impact to utilities and services. Noise Section 4.8 of the Draft EIR analyzed noise impacts related to construction operations and operational noise from HVAC equipment, parking facilities, trash removal and use of the outdoor open space. Based on the SAMC noise standards the project would not general noise levels that would exceed noise standards. To mitigate construction noise two mitigation measures are proposed, one to require a 50‐foot buffer along the east property line for large mobile construction equipment and installation of a temporary noise barrier such as vinyl acoustic curtains or quilted blankets attached to the east property line wall or temporary fence posts. Privacy Privacy concerns regarding windows on the east elevation and visibility from the rooftop amenity deck into backyards or homes were raised. A rendering of eastern views from the rooftop has been provided, views of the single‐family dwellings are out of the line of sight from the amenity deck as it is located closer to Main Street. In addition, staff has included a requirement within the Specific Development for clerestory or opaque windows along the building wall that is at the 40 foot setback. Staff Recommended Changes Since the initial project submittal, the applicant has made changes to the project to address both staff's and the public's comments. Changes made include: 1.

Increased the number of family units from 20 percent of the project to 30 percent. 6. Increased the effective parking ratio from 1.76 to 2.0 per unit through the use of valet.
