<br /> <br />ͭͲͱͱʹ-ͬͰ Noise Memo.docx Ͱ Warner Avenue Footlab <br />EXHIBIT 3: TYPICAL NOISE LEVELS <br /> <br />OFF-SITE TRAFFIC NOISE ANALYSIS <br />The Warner Avenue Footlab Traffic Assessment, prepared by Translutions, Inc. on January ͮͰ, ͮͬͮͱ, <br />shows that the proposed Project will generate ͭͭ A.M. peak-hour trips and ͵ͱ P.M. peak-hour trips. <br />Based on the traffic counts for Warner Avenue and Birch Street, Warner Avenue has an A.M. peak- <br />hour traffic volume of ͮ,ͬͳͯ and a P.M. peak-hour traffic volume of ͮ,ͮ͵ͯ. The additional project- <br />related traffic would result in a less than ͭ dBA CNEL increase in traffic noise along Warner Avenue. <br />Therefore, land uses adjacent to the study area roadway segments would experience less than <br />significant noise level impacts due to the Project-related traffic noise levels. <br />RECEIVER LOCATIONS <br />To assess the potential for noise impacts, the following receiver locations, as shown in Exhibit ͯ, were <br />identified as representative locations for analysis. Sensitive uses or receivers are generally defined <br />as locations where people reside or where the presence of unwanted sound could otherwise <br />adversely affect the use of the land. To describe the potential off-site Project noise levels, three <br />receiver locations in the vicinity of the Project site were identified, including the location of the <br />nearest existing noise-sensitive residential receiver (Rͭ), located approximately ͭͰ͵ feet south of the <br />Project site boundary. <br />The selection of receiver locations is based on FHWA guidelines and is consistent with additional <br />guidance provided by Caltrans and the FTA. Other sensitive land uses in the Project study area that <br />are located at greater distances than those identified in this noise study will experience lower noise <br />levels than those presented in this report due to the additional attenuation from distance and the <br />shielding of intervening structures. <br />
