Page 61 of 65 Noise The Supplemental EIR would describe any changes to the existing noise and vibration environment of the Specific Plan area and to noise standards and regulations potentially applicable to the individual projects that may occur in the Plan area, including General Plan and Specific Plan policies. The Supplemental EIR would update the description of the existing noise environment with l short-term noise measurements. For long-term noise measurements, MIG will coordinate with City staff to identify previous noise monitoring locations that have experienced sufficient changes in land use to necessitate updated measurements; tentatively, this work scope presumes up to three long-term monitoring locations will be updated to reflect changed conditions. The Supplemental EIR’s updated noise analysis would evaluate the potential for the changes in Specific Plan land uses to result in new or substantially more severe significant noise impacts from changes in traffic levels and from the operation of new development projects plus potential construction noise and vibration associated with future development projects in the Plan area. Potential increases in traffic noise levels will be based on the transportation analysis prepared for the Specific Plan Update. MIG will use the Federal Transit Administration’s Traffic Noise Model (TNM2.5) or the SoundPLAN model (which incorporates TNM2.5) to model traffic noise increases. The Supplemental EIR would also evaluate the potential for exposure to BART- induced vibration levels consistent with current protocols from the Federal Transit Administration. Transportation Arup will explore SB 743 streamlining opportunities, including but not limited to geographic screening due to access to high quality transit stop. • Engage with the City (stakeholder analysis and interviews) to screen the Development Plan from additional VMT analysis, if relevant. • Collate and share required traffic information from the analysis performed under Tasks 3-6, to inform any additional VMT analyses as required. • Note: per SB 743, CEQA no longer requires LOS analysis within the EIR process, and in its place requires a VMT analysis to measure impact. We assume that a traditional LOS- based traffic impact assessment (TIA) will not be required for the EIR. • Arup assumes that the Development Plan will be screened from performing additional VMT analysis. If additional VMT analysis is required, this will be considered as additional scope, funded with the project contingency or other funding streams.
