PROJECT SUMMARY
Project Description
The fueling station relocation and expansion will include the following project design features.
Project Design Feature 1 (PDF-1): Temporary noise barriers to be provided at the following locations to block the line-of-sight between the construction equipment and the adjacent noise sensitive uses. • Along the project’s western property line: Noise barrier shall provide minimum 20 dBA noise reduction (minimum 16 feet high, relative to local grade elevation) at the residences across the Project Site to the west (receptor location R1).
• Along the project’s northern property line: Noise barrier shall provide minimum 5 dBA noise reduction (minimum 6 feet high, relative to local grade elevation) at the residences to the northwest (receptor location R5).
• Along the existing fuel station eastern property line: Noise barrier shall provide minimum 12 dBA noise reduction (minimum 12 feet high, relative to local grade elevation) to the residences across the Project Site to the east (receptor location R3).
Project Design Feature (PDF -2): The Project contractor will use power construction equipment with properly operating and maintaine d noise shielding and muffling devices, consistent with manufacturers’ standards.
Project Design Feature (PDF-3): The Project construction activities will avoid concurrent construction with the Washington Boulevard Stormwater and Urban Runoff Project (City’s Sewer Project) within:
• 500 feet of receptor location R1
• 400 feet of receptor location R3
• 100 feet of receptor location R4
Landscaping
Plantings along the street edges of the (Washington Blvd and Walnut Ave) will incorporate screening shrubs, with taller plantings along portions of Walnut Ave. The species will be selected to complement the existing landscape plantings while improving screening and tree canopy shade cover.
Refuse
The refuse requirements have been reviewed and confirmed to comply wit h applicable requirements by the Environmental Programs and Operations (EPO) Division.
Parking and Circulation
Culver City no longer has minimum parking requirements, though the applicant team has provided each unit with two parking spaces within an attached garage. Dedicated bike parking is not required due to the size of the Project.
Noise
The tallest of the noise barriers listed in the project design features above, will be placed to provide the most noise reduction at the closest residential properties along Walnut Ave, just west of the proposed relocated fueling station. Additionally, construction equipment utilized for the Project will have properly operating and maintained noise shielding and muffling devices. Coordination with the City’s stormwater project will also minimize noise by avoiding concurrent construction within specified distances of the surrounding residential streets.
