RESOLUTION 94-023 <br /> <br />ODOR <br /> <br />The project creates the potential to affect residential land uses south of the project site <br />from odor emissions generated by trash containment areas on the project site, <br />depending on the types of tenants occupying the project. Based on the prospective <br />tenant mix, the proposed project is not anticipated to create significant odor impacts <br />on adjacent sensitive receptors. <br /> <br />Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the <br />project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental <br />effect identified in the FAIR. <br /> <br />Facts in Supoort of the Finding <br /> <br />The significant effects have been substantially lessened to a level of insignificance by <br />virtue of the following mitigation measure identified in the Final FAR and <br />incorporated into the project. <br /> <br />34. <br /> <br />In order to reduce the potential odor problems, disposal of trash at <br />Smith's Superstore shall be restricted to covered containers or enclosed <br />compactor containers. In addition there shall be other storage areas as <br />shown on the site plan for recyclable materials. All other tenants in the <br />center shall utilize trash enclosure areas with fully covered trash <br />containers to reduce releases of unpleasant odors. <br /> <br />These measures have proven to be successful when used in connection with <br />other projects to eliminate the potential of odors from reaching sensitive <br />residential uses. The grocery store is the project use that will include wet and <br />dry waste. As a result, this component of the project will employ an enclosed <br />and sealed trash compactor located on the side of the building not adjacent to <br />the neighboring residential use. <br /> <br />NOISE - Project Operation <br /> <br />Most of the noise generated by project operation would be traffic-related. <br />Specifically, the project would contribute to an increase in local traffic volumes, <br />resulting in higher noise levels along local roadways. However, noise levels would <br />remain within the normally acceptable ranges for sensitive uses in the project vicinity, <br />as well as for commercial and office uses, except during deliveries. Overall, traffic- <br />generated noise will contribute a maximum of 1.3 dBA to the local noise <br /> <br />-6- <br /> <br /> <br />
