The Municipal Code recognizes that some forms of noise are required for urban development and maintenance and
<br />aze difficuh to control. Section 18-314(e) exempts noise sources associated with construction, repair, remodeling,
<br />or grading of any real property, provided said activities do not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00
<br />a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or any time on Sunday or a federal holiday. Compliance with the Code is
<br />requisite and as such, is not considered as mitigation under CEQA. While adverse, construction, when performed
<br />l in compliance'with the requirements of the Municipal Code is considered to be less than significant.
<br />e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has nor been adopted, within
<br />two rniles of a public airport or public use aupor; would the project expose people r¢sidirrg or working in the
<br />project area m excessive noise levelsP
<br />Less than Significant Impact The project site is located approximately 4.g miles northwest of the John Wayne
<br />hrtematioruri Airport. The project is located to the west of the established flight path and is beyond the airport's 60-
<br />dBA CNEL noise contour. Implementation of the proposed project would not expose the site occupams to
<br />excessive aircraft noise levels and no mitigation measures are necessary.
<br />~ For a project within the vicinity oja private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working
<br />in the project area to excessive noise levelsl
<br />Na Impact. No private airstrips exist within two miles of the proposed site. Therefore, the proposed project would
<br />not result in a noise hazazd for the new residents that occupy the site. No mitigation measures are necessary.
