Executive Summary <br /> <br />Environmental Impact Report ES-15 <br />Impact Mitigation Measure (s) Residual Impact <br />ambient noise levels near the project <br />site. Construction noise would be <br />temporary and below thresholds of <br />significance. Traffic noise during <br />operation would also be below <br />significance thresholds; however, on- <br />site operational noise would exceed <br />thresholds established for the nearest <br />sensitive receptor. Impacts would be <br />potentially significant but mitigable. <br />separates the project site from APN 77A-742-3-2. The <br />noise barrier shall be a solid fence or wall design and no <br />less than 8 feet tall. The noise barrier shall be no less that <br />140 feet in length, beginning at the southernmost end of <br />this property boundary. <br />Impact NOI-2. Operation of the <br />project would not generate <br />substantial groundborne vibration, <br />but project construction would <br />generate groundborne vibration. <br />Construction vibration levels would <br />exceed thresholds of structural <br />damage at nearby existing buildings. <br />Impacts would be potential <br />significant but mitigable. <br />NOI-2 Static Roller Requirement. The project applicant <br />and/or its construction contractors shall use of a static <br />roller in lieu of a vibratory roller for paving activities <br />within 15 feet of the existing off-site buildings to the <br />north and west of the project site. City staff shall verify <br />that this requirement is incorporated into construction <br />plans prior to issuance of a building permit and verified in <br />the field. <br />Less than <br />significant. <br />Impact NOI-3. The project would <br />result in employment opportunities <br />within areas that occur inside of noise <br />contours of the Oakland International <br />Airport. However, the project site <br />would be within the 60 dBA noise <br />contour, and 60 dBA is not an <br />excessive noise level. Therefore, <br />people working in the project site <br />would not be exposed to excessive <br />airport noise, and impacts would be <br />less than significant. <br />No mitigation measures are required. Less than <br />significant. <br />Transportation <br />Impact TRA-1. The project would <br />generate VMT that is more than 15 <br />percent below the average VMT per <br />employee in the project area <br />Therefore, the proposed project <br />would not conflict with CEQA <br />Guidelines Section 15064.3, <br />subdivision (b), and impacts would be <br />less than significant. <br />No mitigation measures are required. Less than <br />significant. <br />Impact TRA-2. The project would <br />introduce tractor trailers entering <br />into roadway traffic via driveways. <br />However, sufficient sight distance <br />exists to prevent tractor trailers <br />existing the project site from creating <br />hazards related to dangerous <br />intersections. Impacts would be less <br />than significant. <br />No mitigation measures are required. Less than <br />significant. <br />Tribal Cultural Resources <br />Unanticipated tribal cultural <br />resources could be encountered and <br />TCR-1 Unanticipated Discovery of Tribal Cultural <br />Resources. In the event that cultural resources of Native <br />Less than <br />significant.
