GPA No. 2020-07, AA No. 2020-05 - Westview Housing January 19, 2021 Page 7 is anticipated to increase the number of average daily trips on 1611 Street and Huron Drive by 83 trips per day. These additional trips would not substantially increase the total number of average daily trips on the neighborhood streets. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to result in a substantial increase to the neighborhood traffic conditions. The project will be required to pay its fair share contribution to improvements at the intersections of Westminster Avenue and Fairview Street, Mar Les Drive and Westminster Avenue, and 161" Street and Fairview Street. In addition, a Noise and Vibration study was prepared to analyze the potential noise and vibration impacts of the construction and operation of the project including traffic. Construction noise from the project would not exceed 90 dBA Leq during daytime activities and would comply with the SAMC construction hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Per the SAMC, the maximum exterior noise standard is 50 dBA and interior is 45 dBA for residential properties. The project would generate noise from rooftop heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment, delivery- and trash -hauling trucks, on -site vehicle circulation and parking, and light outdoor recreation. To mitigate these impacts a 6-foot high block wall will be around the project perimeter with an 8-foot high CMU wall constructed between the playground area and adjacent single-family residence. Mitigation Measures N-1 and N-2 require that the project incorporates exterior building materials (windows, walls, and doors) with sufficient Sound Transmission Class ratings to reduce interior noise levels below 45 dBA and sound attenuation features (i.e. double - paned or laminated glass, plexiglass, or wood) to reduce exterior noise levels for all private balconies/patios fronting Westminster Avenue and Fairview Street. Regarding traffic noise, a fifty percent increase is required for an audible 3 dBA increase in traffic noise levels. However, the increase in traffic generated by the proposed project would only be approximately 1.5 percent, which would increase traffic noise by less than 0.5 CNEL (less than 3 dBA). Therefore, operational noise generated by the project would not exceed the SAMC noise standards and impacts would be less than significant with implementation of the mitigation measures. The project requires adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), which contains mitigation measures to address biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, noise, and tribal cultural resources. Community Outreach The applicant held two outreach meetings prior to the Planning Commission hearing. In addition, the applicant knocked on the doors of the properties that immediately abut the site to overview the project, listen to concerns and provided their contact information as an open line of communication. At the Sunshine meeting comments/concerns were raised related to cut -through traffic on 16t" Street and Huron Drive, parking intrusion, building heights/setback, the location of trash enclosures and overall management of the project. The site has been designed so that there are no vehicular driveways along Huron Drive therefore, reducing the number of vehicles that may travel through the local residential streets to the project. An excess of 92 parking spaces (per State Housing law) are
