HomeMy WebLinkAboutFESTIVAL HALL (BUTTERFIELD/SARMIENTO)A-2001-232 ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION AGREEMENT c J, HIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 19th day of November, 2001 by and between WOODROW and LEE C. BUTTERFIELD, a husband and wife, and IRMA SARMIENTO, a natural person (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Festival Hall"), and the City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of Califol-nia (hereinafter "City"). RECITALS A. Woodrow and Lee C. Butterfield are the owners, andhiria Sariniento is the operator of Festival Hall, a restaurant, sports bar and tavern which holds a public dance permit (as defined in Chapter I I of the Santa Ana Municipal Code) and Conditional Use Pen-rilt to impose a cover charge and is located at 220-224 East Third Street, the southwest comer of Third and Spurgeon Streets, in the City of Santa Ana. B. On September 28, 1989, Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the City issued Public Dance Permit No. 89-32597 to Festival Hall permitting public dance and amplified music. Subsequently, in 1995 the City issued Conditional Use Pen -lilt (CUP) No. 95-16 to Festival Hall, which granted Festival Hall the right to add a cover charge requirement. Both permits were subject to certain specified conditions. The parties to this Agreement agree and aela-iowledgc that said Chapter 11 Dance Permit and said Conditional Use Permit are legitimate, valid and subsisting, remain in full force and effect and are attached to this agreement as Exhibit 1. C. In the Request for Council Action accompanying CUP no. 96-15, City staff' explained: "In order to bring the site closer into code compliance, staff has Included numerous conditions of approval for the project.... Finally, the Police Department is rcqLICStitlg that the building conform to the provisions of the Building Security Ordinance. This ordinance includes element which are aimed at reducing crime through preventive measures, and which may require alternations to the site and building including lighting upgrades on the property and the replacement of existing door and window locking devices. . . . Through the adoption and implementation of the conditions of approval, the site will be brought closer into compliance with the zoning code and will result in minimal impacts on Police Department services, Based on this analysis, staffrecommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 95-16 as conditioned by staff." DPursuant to this approved use, Festival Hall is entitled to be open until 1:30 a.m., to provide for a cover charge, and to provide live amplified music to its patrons. As a restaurant and tavern with a public dance permit, Festival Hall also often has large numbers of patrons (the Fire Code permits up to 1250 persons to occupy the first floor dance hall portion of Festival Hall) who leave at the conclusion of a perforniance rather than leaving spread over a period of tirrie. Festival Flall's operation, if undertaken consistent with the conditions of approval of said permits and applicable regulations, would not constitute a public nuisance. E. The City has, this 19th day of November, 2001, approved Conditional Use Permit No. 01-28, and other entitlements, to permit the construction and sale of 86 live -work -units in the downtown area of the City, including 40 live -work units on the remainder of the block containing Festival Hall (the "live -work project"). The project location is approximately 201-291 North Sycamore, 151-191 West Second, 150-190 West Third, 201-238 North Main, 200-232 and 201-253 North Bush, 200-214 North Spurgeon and 200-208 East Third, F. As part of these approvals, the City has adopted and certified Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 01-144, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. This Negative Declaration identifies certain noise impacts created by placing sensitive receptors (i.e., residents) into an urban area, that, unless mitigated, would cause significant environmental impacts. G. The Negative Declaration identifies mitigation measures that, if implemented, would reduce this significant noise impact to a level of insignificance and would assist Festival Hall in complying with applicable noise regulations. The noise study which is part of the Negative Declaration is modeled based upon the premise that upon (1) implementation of the required mitigation measures, (2) no substantial increase in noise by Festival Hall beyond that-masured-in-the -noise study, and (3) compliance by Festival Hall with all conditions under which it must operate as referenced above, Festival Hail will be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. While many of these mitigation measures are conditions that will be imposed directly upon the builder of the live -work units, seven (7) of the mitigation measures in the Negative Declaration identify mitigation measures to be taken at Festival Hall. The developer of the live -work project has been assessed the obligation to pay to the City a fee to pay the cost of constructing these mitigation measures. Six (6) of these mitigation measures relate to central air conditioning, changing windows and adding vestibules to reduce noise escaping Festival Hall, while one (1) mitigation measure relates to reducing noise from departing patrons of Festival Hall. H. The seven (7) mitigation measures to take place at Festival Hall are: (1) Provide Air Conditioning for Festival Hall; (2) Replace the west -facing windows with fixed assemblies with a minimum STC 32 rating; (3) Provide a vestibule for the entrance door on the west wall. The vestibule should be fitted with solid doors and seals on both sides. The doors should have a minimum STC 40 rating; (4) Add 10-fect of lined sheet metal ducts and 7-foot sound traps to roof vents over the club; (5) Provide a vestibule for the entrance door on the north wall (the vestibule should be fitted with solid doors and seals on both sides and the doors should have a minimum STC 40 rating); (6) Replace the windows on the north wall with fixed assemblies with a minimum STC 32 rating; and (7) "Provide signs at the exits of the Festival Club [sic] and at appropriate locations on Third Street and Spurgeon Street advising patrons to respect the neighbors and be quiet." I. The noise study prepared as part of the Negative Declaration presumes, as a baseline condition, that Festival Hall is complying with the provisions of its Public Dance Permit and Conditional Use Permit. Also, as part of this agreement, Festival Hall has provided the City its own acoustical study setting forth its actual and usual level of noise activities. See, Exhibit 2, Gordon Bricken & Associates, "Measurement Results of Festival Hall City of ,Santa Ana," as supplemented, incorporated herein by this reference. The noise study attached to the Negative Declaration concludes that if all required mitigation measures are implemented "average interior noise levels in the residential units should be on the order of 30 dBA [in a worst case scenario] which should be acceptable." J. Festival Hall and the City desire to enter into an agreement which would allow the City to enter Festival Hall to undertake the seven (7) mitigation measures set forth in the Negative Declaration pursuant to a mutually agreeable design that preserves Festival Hall's property values and any historic character of the building. K. The City and Festival Hall have additionally agreed to implement noise mitigation measures identified by Gordon Bricken at no cost to Festival Hall. The purpose of these additional noise mitigation measures is to reduce the noise impacts from pedestrians and parking lot activities associated with departed patrons of Festival Hall. These noise mitigation measures go beyond the mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, which as referenced above would assist Festival Hall in complying with applicable noise regulations, and for which the City has concluded will reduce noise impacts on the sensitive receptors to a level of insignificance, and provide further protection to these sensitive receptors. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual and respective promises, and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows: 1. SCOPE OF SERVICES a. City shall perform those seven (7) mitigation measures as set forth in Exhibit 3 to this Agreement b. In a spirit of cooperation, and to resolve additional concerns of Festival Hall regarding pedestrian noise and to partially implement the Supplemental, November 14, 2001 Gordon Bricken & Associates Report, the following additional conditions have been imposed on the Developer of the live -work project to fizrther reduce noise impacts on the live -work project; i. for those live -work units in the East Village Studios block fronting on Third Street or fronting on the DGWB and Associates parking lot, front windows on the first floor with STC 40 rating, or equivalent measure as identified by the Executive Director of Agency if such windows are not commercially available at the time of construction (but not less than STC 38 windows); ii. for those live -work units in the East Village Studios block fronting on Third Street or fronting on the DGWB and Associates parking lot, front windows on the second floor with STC 38 rating; iii. for those live -work units in the East Village Studios block fronting on Third Street, doors with STC 38 rating; and iv. for those live -work units in the East Village Studios block fronting on Third Street or fronting on the DGWB and Associates parking lot, front windows, exterior drywall shall be mounted on resilient channel assemblies.

This is due to information she has received from your department while attempting to obtain a CUP. Apparently, the premises is subject to eminent domain in the near future. Thus, making it -- impossible to obtain a CUP. She has been unable to find anyone to corroborate this, including her landlord. The applicant would like a dance permit for whatever time they have remaining there. I neglected to mention earlier that the premises has two dance floors; one on the ground level and another in the basement area. I don't know if that makes a difference in your recommendation.

EXHIBIT 2 Nov. 15 al 06:43p p. 01./63 6 GORDONIE ASSOCIATES ACOUSTICAL and ENERGY ENGINEERS S U M M A R Y The sound levels of the Festival Hall have been treasured from. 1:00 A.M. to 2:00 A.M., on November 1.1, 2001 along Third Street and compared to the City's Noise Drdinance as a design guideline for the. residential site adjacent to the Hall after the mitigation measures had been applied to the Hall. The residual noise would be than From everit,s occaarring on the street and sidewalk. The noise values taken after the music performance ended at 1: 33 A.M. were used for the evaluation. The game values were assumed to exist on the parking lot behind the Old City Rall, which was used by patrons. The results indicate that if a residential project is constructed can the adjacent site, substantial noise reduction features will be required in the rosidential structure. `The Mitigation measures are as follows: Rooms Facing Third Street at the Second. Level and Above and facing the Ord City Hall Parking Lot will require windows rated STC 38, or higher, and the exterior wall assemblies ,should have the interior drywall mcunted on resilient. channels. Roams Facing Third Street at First Level will require windows rated a minimum STC 40, the oxtexi.or wall, assemblies should have the inte-cior drywall mounted on res,ilien,t channel, and minimum STC 38 rated doors. Note, these conditions may also apply- at the first level facing the Old City Parking Lot depending on the design of the property lane wall. The items listed above may also need to be applied along Spurgeon and along- the common interfaces with. the Festival Hall. One possible additional mitigation is to remove the pickup and drop-off location in front of the HaI2 . This would require creating a loading zone that would displace about three parking spacer. This change would remove one of the activity areas in front of the residential building. 1521 East Seventeen## Street, Suite K Santa Ana, California 92705-8518 Phone V1 4) 835-0249 FAX tit 4) 835-i 9 a7 9 NOV.

The present sound levels after the perto «lances are elided aa:e likely to ,remain even with the proposed mitigation to the Festival Rall structure_ Thus, the present post - performance conditic" in this investigation was intended to asse the consequences of the residual .noise after the mitigation ss measures listed in the developer'« noise report are implemented, Tn' theory, the musical coaitxibutz.ons from the Hall will be reduced to the point that the only .remaining sources of noise are from the activities associated wfth the Festival Hall- from patrons comiazg and going to the facility. 2.0 PRQJI�CT SBTTIN The Festival Hail is located at the.Sout-hweat corner of Third and Spurgeon Streets. The use consists of a restaurant and dance hall on the first floor, a bar .in the basement, and office and meeting roots on the second floor Perimeter. Entertainment is provided three evenin98 a week_ The entertainment is Latin and the patrons a).-e mostly La'tinDS . There is a vacant lot between the crest side of the building and bush Street. There is a vacant lot between the building and Second Street_ The vacant portions are joined sa they Corm an "L" shaped lot with the arms of the "L" along Bush Street. between. Second and Third ,Streets, and along Second Street between Spurgeon and Bush Street=s _ These is a proposed residential project on the "L" shaped lot that will be in close proximity to the existing Festival Hall use. The owners expressed concern that Festival Hall migh t< not comply with the City Noise Ordinance after the residential use is constructed. After the residential project i constructed, azad assuming that ail of the mitigation measures proposed by the. developer are installed and that they produce the results advertised by the developer, then the only remaining sourer of noise E.oines from Patrons arriving and leaving the Festival Hall. 1621 (East Seventeenth Strout, Suite K Santa Ana, Calitornia 927OS-8s1 B Phone (714) 835-0249 FAX (714) 6354957 Na3rr, 15 01 05: 4.4p p • 5 w ()1./(536 Most patrons come by private car. The nearest parking for the Festival Hall, with the exception of a few on -street spaces, is ja the City parking lot on the north side of Third Street across from the Hall, and in the lot at Bush and Third behind the Old City 'Hall bra i lding _ 3.0 APPLICABLE NOISE STANDARDS The City's Noise Ordinance, contained in Appendix 1, is designed to control noise emissions from one land use to another land use. Generally, noise created on a public right-of- way is not regulated by the Voise Ordinance, In theory, that would mean that once patrons, cars, eta., connected with the Festival Hall are off the Festival Hall property, the Festival Hall is not liable for the noise conditions. However, the same might be said of the issues regarding patron behavior, which, are clearly addressed off -site by the private ,security guards employed by the Festival Hall. Thus, there is some ,prospect that noise produced by patrons will be treated as a responsibility of the Festival Hall. Thus, from the Festival Hall perspective, they need to be cerCain that the, same standards governing cn-site produced noise, which Yields the proposed mitigations by the developer, also be, applied to off -site noise for which. the Festival. Hall will be held responsible. The issue of the applicability does not apply to the parking .lot behind the old City Hall since it is a private parcel and controlled by the Festival Hall during the operating hours. While the same issue faces the parcel owners at other times, this report will, not address that issue. The basic Noise Ordinance limits are given in Table I On the following page, 4 Nov, 15 01 05. 44p p.6 ml/536' ZABLE I NOISE ORDINANCE LIMITS FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY(l) ALl''OWED T IMIT EXTERIOR INTERIOR.

The allowed durations may be extended when the ambier�t exceeds the allowed levels with the exception of t1le maximum where the level may be increased. The adjustments work in the fallowing manner:: If the source of the noise contains -Mu;ic ox speech, then all the levels are reduced 5 d3A but the durations to which they apply remain the same. 2. If the ambient without the source has maximum noise levels which exceed the alloyed maximum noise level, then the allowed maximum noise level is increased to equal the ambient maximum level. For example, if the highest reading (Lmax) du -ring the day were 78 dBA, then.the allowed level for any source being investigated would become 78 dBA, not 75 d13A as listed in Table 1 3 . If the ambient without the source baa dui �zt3,cazis for the allowed Levels that are longer than listed, then the allowed duxatign is ixlu eased, not the level. For exatnpl,e, if the day level of 60 dBA were. exceeded 20 minutes in any hoar, then the allowed duration would become 20 minutes, not 15 minutes as listed in Table 1. ROwever, the threshold mould remain at 80 dBA. It is not readily obvious that the listings in 'Table 1. do not produced a Outooth carve for the paired combinations of level and duration.

This curve is 5 Nov 15 01 05;45p p.7 - q 01/636 illustrated for the exterior night condition on Exhibit 1. 4.0 MEASUREMENTS _ 4.1 SETUP The war the Hall and parking are laid out, the maximum sound levels cuff -site and adjacent to the proposed residential use will be along Third Street between the Festival lull building and Bush Street, A secondary condition will occur on the south side of the Old City lull parking lot. The chosen measurement location was 16 feet west of the west property line and ten feet south of the south edge of the sidewalk. This loca.Lion is noted on Exhibit 1. This setback approximates the setback of the proposed building line. The measurement microphone was extended five feet above the ground. Measurements were conducted on. Sunday, November 11, 2001 from 1:00 A.M. to 2:00 A.M. The measurement setup consisted of aeLarson- Davis Model 700 Integrating Sound Level Meter. This meter is actually a small computer and was programed to compute the ordinance parameters listed in Table 2, THe samples were reported at five minute intervals. 4.2 CONDITIONS DURING TI4P MEASUREMENTS The measurement location was along the sidewalk used by patrons using the Old City Hall. parking lot and ethers who walked to the Hall. The entry to the City Parking Lot is almost directly across Third Street. A taxi cab piekup and drop-off location was directly in front of the measurement point. This curb --;side location is a red zoaie but, lacking aizy other loading area, the SOCU 'itY people and the police .let the cabs use the location. The same location is used by the security company patrol. cars. 'I'he types of noise that were observed to occur in the hour of measurement were as follows: 1, Music from inside the Festiva. Sall, This music ceased at 1:33 A.M, 2. Patrons talking as they go to and from the parking lots. A ICI o v, 15 01 0 5: 4 5 p P. 8 e p ol/636 3. Cars entering and exiting the City' s Parking Lot, Cars driving by on the street, Most of these drive-bys seemed connected With activiL-ies at the Hall. 5. Patrons entering and :leaving the taxi cabs. 5 - Activities related to security. At one point, some altercation occurred in front of the Hall that led to the security guard. releasing mace or pepper spray into thc air. The aerosols drove patrons down the sidewalk in between the Hall and Bush including the perpetrator and some of his friends. . The security guards then came down the sidewalk and herded the people into a. crab. All of this activity produced a lak^ge amount of crowd noise. 1 = Car alarm arming and disarms -ng_ These sources were observed but were sufficiently removed from the measurement point to only xecord on one occasion. Several sound samples of patrons and cars were taken during the ho-or of the measuxements . Based on these ost~i.matesf the number of patrons traversing the south side of Third Street approached Boo and the number of cars on Third Street was close to 200 _ 4.3 KRASUREMERT RESULTS The printout of the ncetier is contained in Appendix 2. since the objective of the study is to assess the impact of the noise after the music noise is mitigated, the only portion of the data that is of interest~ initially is that after the music perfoxmance ended at. 1 -33 A.M. The data is presented in two. fnrmu _ ono is a Table depicting the corapari.son of the conditions with the City's Noise ordinance.. The same information is platted in two graphs. While the Ord.inarice limits are lased on an hour's sampling, in this case, the posts 1 e 3S A.M. data was used as a. simulation of the poet mitigated condition of the Festival Hall structure. This is given in Table 2 on the following page. 7 Nov 15 01 05.45p p.9 r 'FABLE 2 NOISE IMPACTS WITHOUT TT MUSIC: 01/636 COMPARED TO ORDINANCE LIMITS ORDINANCE P� aP-ZFR MEASURED EXTERIOR 11TEERIOR EXTPR:CQR TNTLRxCiR L50 65.5 45 -- + 20.5 --- 1,25 67.5 50 -- f 27.5 -- L8 70,0 55 40 + 15.0 + 30.0 L2 73.0 (50 50 + 13.0 + 28.0 Linax 85.0 65 60 f 20.0 } 35.0 Exhibit 2 depicts the exterior condition. The interior condition is depicted an. Exhibit 3. It is clear that the .non -music conditions would excccd the limits of the C:i.ty's Noise Ordinance. while it can be argued that the Ordinance does not apply, it serves as a very useful design guideline since the Festival Hall is likely to be held responsible for any negative consequences that flow from this activity. The developer did engage a. consultant who measured a simzlar condition as described in this report at a paint about 20 feet further back, from the sidewalk and along the common property line. That report is contained in Appendix 3. They reporteed the L50 value at 60 dBA and the Lmax value at 91 dsA. While the reported levels were somewhat different, the implication for mitigation is at least as significant. The issue of the applicability of the Noise Ordinance will not apply to the parking lot behiixd the Old City Hail. TTOwOver, it is likely that the same types of raise conditions will prevail since the basic user profile is the same. The only difference may be a higher contribution of car alarms and cax alarm arming to the noise produced on that site. 6.) TMPL ICATIONS OF THE RESULTS The floor plane for the building nearest Festival Hall and. the elevations are shown on Exhibits 4, 5 and G. The only information about the site and building next to the old City Hall is shown an Exhibit 2. Exhibits 4, 5 and 6 indicate that the "front" elevation is along Third street. The plans are not clear, but it does not appear that there are any usable outdoor areas on that frontage. The proposed condition at the Old City Hall parking Nov. 15 01 05:46p p.1O 01/636 Lot is not clear. There appears to be a landscaped setback area, but it is not clear if this is to include any private patios or that there are any decks overlcoki.ng the parking lot. it any private areas exist, then the Noise Ordinance would apply. The measurements suggest that the building envelope of the residential structures next to Third Street and the cold City Hall Parking Lot should provide 35 dBA of noise reduction. `Y'h.e developer's data, suggests it could be even higher at 4G d8A. No floor. plans Other than that which appears on the Exhibits were examined_ This is not sufficient detail. The first floor units facing Third Street take access off Third Street:. Thus, at least one room on a unit has a door. Two sample cond:i.tlaus were examined. The basic roam was a floor area of one hundred square feet and a window area of .20 square feet with a door added can the first floor. The noise reduction of the structure is controlled by five elements, which are the window, the ext.eTi.o:r_ wail, the doors if -any, the roof and the interior treatments such as drapes, carpet and furniture. The window is the weakest element of the group, so it is customary tc examine the noise reduction where the window noise redtacta.o.n is the variable. The noise reduction of any of the panels is defined in terms of the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating, This rating system allows a uniform method of selecting Products tesl.ed according to established standards. The calculations are based on this rating system. The noise reduction calculations are contained in Appendix 4 and were based can first detezmi.ning what, if any, window rating alone would meet the 35 dBA noise reduction. criteria. If it could not be achieved, thexa the wall rating was modified and if that failed, the door rating. A window rating of STC 40 was considered the upper practical_ limit for available products. -The results show the following: Sample Room Without. Door >r 1!ndc_w A.1 ne . Reaches only 33 dBA- with an STC 40 window. W3-n.dpw With Wall Modification. Reaches 35 dBA with an STC 30 window and interior drywall Mounted on resilient channels.
