I <br />21 <br />CUP for the car wash on compliance with nothing because, as LSA pointed out, the Noise <br />Ordinance does not have "specific requirements for commercial and medical office uses."

There will be a significant impact on noise for the surrounding environment, <br />5 including but not limited to, business uses and pedestrian traffic, as there is no specific <br />6 requirement that noise remain below any certain level or comply with any specific standard. <br />7 96. Petitioners' expert conducted a peer review of Real Parties' traffic analysis and <br />8 found it deficient in that it used outdated and incomplete data that, when corrected, would show <br />9 the Revised Project will have a significant impact on traffic, including increasing the collision rate <br />10 at the intersection of N. Tustin Avenue and Fourth Street beyond what it currently is, which is <br />11 significantly higher than would be expected for this type of intersection. Specifically, "[t]he ten <br />12 year average collision rate at this intersection is 0.37 collisions per million entering vehicles ... <br />13 [and] the most recent collision rate during the past three years (2016-2018) the collision rate has <br />14 increased to 0.43 collisions per million entering vehicles."

Respondents violated CEQA by erroneously finding the Revised Project <br />21 categorically exempt as an in -fill development project pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA <br />22 Guidelines. <br />23 98. CEQA section 15332 specifies the five requirements for a project to qualify for the <br />24 in -fill development exemption, which are: <br />25 (a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation <br />26 and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning <br />27 designation and regulations; <br />28 (b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of <br />30 <br />PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE <br />
