15 <br /> <br />10. Noise Element <br />This element is on remedial measures to deal with existing noise problems, prevention <br />of new noise problems through proper arrangement of noise sensitive land uses in <br />relationship to circulation systems, and establishment of appropriate noise emission <br />or insulation standards for the various land uses. <br /> <br /> Review zoning ordinances and modify as necessary to assure appropriate <br />insulation and/or other noise reduction actions with respect to interior and exterior <br />power and mechanical equipment. Require Noise studies (car wash). <br /> Continue to utilize the development approval process to assure that buildings are <br />sited and internal and external traffic circulation systems designed so as to <br />minimize the impact of noise-generating activities on nearby neighborhoods and <br />noise-sensitive land uses. <br /> Work with the California Department of Transportation to develop a freeway noise <br />mitigation program. <br /> Alleviate through-vehicular traffic in residential neighborhoods via implementation <br />of traffic calming measures, including landscaped bulb outs and roundabouts <br />where feasible.

Open Space, Parks and Recreation Element <br />This element sets forth the City’s priorities for retention and treatment of open space; <br />an increasingly precious resource as the City takes on a more urban character. This <br />element also relates to the provision of leisure activities to promote lifelong learning <br />and quality of life. <br /> <br /> Implement a park and recreational facilities phasing program which prioritizes <br />needs in the City’s more intensely developed neighborhoods. Preparation of a <br />Citywide Park and Recreation Master Plan is underway, which will help identify <br />community needs, engage the public input, and prepare recommendation for <br />addressing needs. Anticipated adoption is May 2022. <br /> The City continues to collaborate with SAUSD to maximize joint use of school <br />recreational facilities for community use. <br /> Several vacant properties are being sought to add acreage to the park system. <br />Properties at 10th and Flower Streets are being acquired to develop a new <br />neighborhood park, and remnant properties along Bristol Street following a street <br />widening project are being transferred to PRCSA for development into linear <br />parkland. <br /> In 2021, many park rehabilitation project improvements for lighting, game court, <br />play equipment additions, landscaping and other improvements began. Some <br />noteworthy projects include the following: Sports lighting projects were <br />implemented at Riverview Park, Jerome Park and El Salvador Parks. Security <br />lighting was installed at Pacific Electric Bike Trail, Saddleback and Morrison Park. <br />An extensive renovation at Santiago Park began construction, which will include
