Per the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Technical Noise Supplement to the Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol (2013), a noise level increases of 3 dBA is generally regarded as barely perceivable. Therefore, the 1.1 dBA is not anticipated to generate significate noise that would negatively impact the adjacent properties. To address odor emissions from the building, a high - quality air scrubber would be installed to limit odors from prepared food. Therefore, the project would not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. 3.
