Implementation of mitigation. Specifically, the City finds that no mitigation measures MM4.8-1 through additional feasible mitigation measures exist MM4.8-4 would help to reduce this impact that would avoid or substantially reduce this through the use of BMPs, but not to a impact. The weight of construction equipment less-than-significant level. as well the specific work performed thereby cause temporary, unwanted vibration. Cumulative Noise Impact Vibration from future development would MM4.8-1 through MM4.8-4 listed above, Finding 1 Significant and would also apply to this impact. unavoidable potentially combine with construction The City finds that changes or alterations have vibration of other projects to result in a been required in, or incorporated into, the potentially significant cumulative impact. project which would avoid or substantially Residential development associated with lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. the proposed project and two related projects, located within close proximity to Finding 3 the SCCRA would expose residents to The City finds that specific economic, social, or noise levels exceeding the “Desirable other considerations make infeasible additional Maximum” standard. This is considered mitigation. Specifically, the City finds that no cumulatively considerable. additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce this impact. The noise from heavy rail, vehicular traffic, construction equipment would be cumulatively significant. 2-38 Revised Station District Project and FOL Settlement Agreement Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations
