A. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. C. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. To increase the existing levels of traffic noise within the project area by 3dBA, a doubling of the existing traffic volumes would have to occur. The proposed project would generate 545 daily vehicle trips with 39 occurring in the AM Peak Hour and 39 occurring in the PM Peak Hour. The amount of traffic generated by the proposed project would not double the existing traffic volumes in the project and would not increase the existing noise levels within the project area by 3 dBA. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not significantly increase noise levels within the project area. According to the General Plan Land Use Element FEIR 97-01, at 50-feet from the centerline of Grand Ave, the noise level would be 69.5 CNEL at the projects landscape setback. Presently, the General Plan allows the sitting of commercial uses in areas exposed to noise levels up to 75 CNEL. Therefore, the proposed project would not be subject to significant noise impacts. B. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project would require conventional construction equipment and building practices. No significant ground borne noise impacts or ground borne vibration impacts would be associated with the proposed project. D. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without project. Less Than Significant Impact 23 758-38
