The LSA Noise Study found that the "noise levels measured at the end of the car wash tunnel' alone would be 81.9 dBA 13 feet away in the direction of the businesses across the street and 73.7 dBA 20 feet from the end of the tunnel "90 degrees off-center"—i.e. on the other side of Petitioner Choe's dental office. No noise analysis was performed from the interior of Choe's building, or to assess the noise impact on the interior of her building from noise emanating through the wall of the tunnel, which is only inches away. The LSA Noise Study also failed to consider the vibrations that would be generated, and how they would be felt inside her building. 93. Petitioners are informed and believe that Respondents have never before cited to or disclosed the LSA Noise Study because since its creation in July 2019, Respondents removed Condition 21 to the CUP approval. The Condition of Approval for the car wash as set forth in the attachments to the staff report for the September 9, 2019 Planning Commission hearing on the Revised Project only require compliance with "City noise ordinance standards," and no longer the General Plan (the Noise Element) as it did when LSA prepared the Noise Study in July .11 "Prior to Building & Safety Division plan check submittal, the Applicant shall submit a technical noise study prepared by a professional firm specializing in preparation of noise studies to the City for review by the Planning Division, Police Department, and Code Enforcement Division that demonstrates that the proposed design and equipment of the car wash will conform to City noise ordinances and will minimize noise impacts on adjacent properties. The Applicant shall, to the best of his or her abilities and at his or her sole cost, utilize the same noise specialists employed at the Applicant's other location(s) to prepare the noise readings and studies. Prior to issuance of a permanent certificate of occupancy, the Applicant shall hold a "soft opening" to test all noise -generating equipment onsite and make adjustments as necessary to bring the equipment into compliance with City noise ordinance standards, to the satisfaction of the Planning and Building Agency and Police Department. The Applicant shall submit an updated and revised noise study based on updated field measurements within one (1) month of commencement of operations, and again on the one-year anniversary of the commencement of operations, to ensure compliance with the City's noise ordinances." (CUP 2019-30, Condition to Approval, No. 11) 94. Accordingly, with respect to noise, Respondents' have conditioned approval of the 29 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE
