Impact Mitigation Measure(s) Residual Impact Land Use and Planning Impact LU-1. The proposed Specific Pan would implement and be consistent with the goals and policies of the 2035 General Plan adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. This impact would be less than significant. None required. Less than significant without mitigation Noise Impact N-1. New development facilitated by the proposed Specific Plan would be required to comply with the City’s land use compatibility guidelines for exposure to ambient noise and with the California Building Code’s standard of 45 dBA CNEL for interior noise in habitable rooms. The impact related to exposing people or generating noise levels in excess of standards would be less than significant. None required. Less than significant without mitigation Impact N-2. Construction activities associated with implementation of the proposed Specific Plan would intermittently generate high noise levels within and adjacent to the Specific Plan Area. However, buildout of the proposed Specific Plan would be restricted to the City’s allowed daytime hours and would be required to comply with Mitigation Measure NOI-4 in 2035 General Plan EIR to minimize construction noise. Therefore, the impact from construction noise would be significant but mitigable.
