On Wednesday, February 7, 2024 To 6:00 A.M. On Thursday, February 8, 2024 (CEQA Status: Exempt Pursuant To State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3)) WHEREAS, on January 10, 2024, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“Applicant”) requested a noise waiver to allow work from 7:00 p.m. on February 7, 2024, to 6:00 a.m. on February 8, 2024, in order to install new equipment and energize a new commercial customer, the incoming grocery store at 5621 Bay Street; and WHEREAS, the request is being made because electrical power will need to be shut down for 67 commercial customers for up to 11 hours, including businesses in the Bay Street shopping center; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 13 of Title 5 of the Emeryville Municipal Code limits construction noise to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. weekdays, but allows a developer or contractor to ask the City Council for a waiver of the construction noise restrictions; and WHEREAS, on February 6, 2024, the City Council held a duly and properly noticed public hearing to consider the application, the staff recommendation, and all public comments received; now therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Emeryville hereby finds that the noise waiver for nighttime construction work at 5621 Bay Street is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, as stated in Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, and in this instance it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the noise waiver will cause a significant effect on the environment; and be it further RESOLVED, that the City Council finds that the conditions set forth below provide adequate protection for nearby residents and businesses; and be it further RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby approves the request for a waiver of construction noise hours for work on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, to Thursday, February 8, 2024, at 5621 Bay Street with the following conditions:
