16 IRRIGATION DESIGN NOTES
THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM WILL BE A FULLY AUTOMATIC UNDERGROUND SYSTEM. BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICES WILL BE INSTALLED TO MEET APPLICABLE CODES. THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED AND
CONSTRUCTED TO BE AS EFFICIENT IN TERMS OF WATER USAGE AS POSSIBLE. WATER CONSERVATION PRODUCTS (HIGH EFFICIENCY / LOW
PRECIPITATION) AND AN EVAPOTRANSPIRATION (ET) WEATHER BASED CONTROL SYSTEM WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE SYSTEM DESIGN.
PLANTING DESIGN NOTES
THE SELECTION OF PLANT MATERIAL IS BASED ON CULTURAL, AESTHETIC, AND MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS. ALL PLANTING AREAS SHALL BE
PREPARED WITH APPROPRIATE SOIL AMENDMENTS, FERTILIZERS, AND
APPROPRIATE SUPPLEMENTS BASED UPON A SOILS REPORT FROM AN AGRICULTURAL SUITABILITY SOIL SAMPLE TAKEN FROM THE SITE. GROUND
COVERS OR BARK MULCH SHALL FILL IN BETWEEN THE SHRUBS TO SHIELD THE SOIL FROM THE SUN, EVAPOTRANSPORATION AND RUN-OFF. ALL THE FLOWER AND SHRUB BEDS SHALL BE MULCHED TO A 3” DEPTH TO HELP
CONSERVE WATER, LOWER THE SOIL TEMPERATURE AND REDUCE WEED GROWTH. THE SHRUBS SHALL BE ALLOWED TO GROW IN THEIR NATURAL FORMS. ALL LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS SHALL FOLLOW THE CITY OF LAGUNA HILLS GUIDELINES.
GENERAL DESIGN NOTES
1. FINAL LANDSCAPE PLANS SHALL ACCURATELY SHOW PLACEMENT OF TREES, SHRUBS, AND GROUNDCOVERS.
2. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT SHALL BE AWARE OF UTILITY, SEWER, STORM
DRAIN EASEMENT AND PLACE PLANTING LOCATIONS ACCORDINGLY TO MEET CITY OF LAGUNA HILLS REQUIREMENTS.
3. ALL REQUIRED LANDSCAPE AREAS (INCLUDING PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY) SHALL BE MAINTAINED BY OWNER. THE LANDSCAPE AREAS SHALL BE MAINTAINED PER CITY OF LAGUNA HILLS REQUIREMENTS.
4. ALL IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY, INCLUDING

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose of Report & Study Objectives
The purpose of this traffic impact study is to evaluate the proposed Alicia Town Center Ralph’s Fuel Center (hereinafter referred to as “Project”) from a traffic and circulation standpoint and to determine whether the Project has a significant traffic impact.
This traffic study has been conducted pursuant to the City of Laguna Hills Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis Guidelines under the California Environmental Quality Act and General Plan Development Review Traffic Study Guidelines, dated August 2021.
This study is prepared in accordance with the scope of work that has been approved by the City of Laguna Hills, which is contained in Appendix A.
1.2 Site Location & Project Description
The proposed project is located within the existing Alicia Town Center shopping center at the southeast corner of Alicia Parkway and Paseo de Valencia, in the City of Laguna Hills.
The project site is currently part of the existing Ralph’s parking lot and is bounded by Paseo De Valencia to the north, the Ralph’s shopping center to the south and east, and Alicia Parkway to the west.
The proposed project consists of a 10-vehicle fueling position (VFP) gas station (five dual sided pump islands). The project will require the removal of 39 parking spaces and will add 4 spaces (306 total current parking spaces to 271 total spaces after the proposed project is constructed) within the existing Alicia Town Center shopping center.
Access to the project is currently provided and will continue to be provided via the existing full-access signalized intersection of Alicia Parkway at Community Center Drive (i.e. Project Access No. 1) and the one (1) full-access unsignalized driveway located along Paseo De Valencia (i.e. Project Access No. 2). The existing Alicia Town Center is also served by two additional driveways, one driveway on Alicia Parkway and one driveway on Paseo De Valencia, that serve the back of house loading docks and receiving area for the existing supermarket. For the purposes of this study, no project traffic is expected to utilize either of these back of house driveways and thus they are not included in this analysis.
The project is anticipated to open in 2025 and will be evaluated in one single phase.

2.0 Analysis Methodologies, Performance Criteria, and
Thresholds of Significance
This section of the report presents the methodologies used to perform the traffic analyses summarized in this report in accordance with the City of Laguna Hills. This section also discusses the agency-established applicable performance criteria and thresholds of significance for the study facilities.
2.1 Signalized Intersection Peak Hour Level of Service Analysis Methodology The methodology used to assess the operation of the signalized study area intersection is the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology. To calculate the ICU, the volume of traffic using the intersection is compared with the capacity of the intersection. ICU is usually expressed as a ratio. This ratio represents that portion of the hour required to provide sufficient capacity to accommodate all intersection traffic if all approaches operate at capacity.
Level of Service (LOS) is commonly used as a qualitative description of intersection operation and is based on the capacity of the intersection and the volume of traffic using the intersection.
The definitions of level of service for uninterrupted flow (flow unrestrained by the existence of traffic control devices) are:
• LOS A represents free flow. Individual users are virtually unaffected by the presence of others in the traffic stream.
• LOS B is in the range of stable flow, but the presence of other users in the traffic stream begins to be noticeable. Freedom to select desired speeds is relatively unaffected, but there is a slight decline in the freedom to maneuver. • LOS C is in the range of stable flow, but marks the beginning of the range of flow in which the operation of individual users becomes significantly affected by interactions with others in the traffic stream.
• LOS D represents high-density but stable flow. Speed and freedom to maneuver are severely restricted, and the driver experiences a generally poor level of comfort and convenience.
2-2
• LOS E represents operating conditions at or near the capacity level. All speeds are reduced to a low, but relatively uniform value. Small increases in flow will cause breakdowns in traffic movement.
• LOS F is used to define forced or breakdown flow. This condition exists wherever the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the amount which can traverse the point. Queues form behind such locations.
The ICU analysis has been prepared utilizing the following parameters:
• Saturation Flow Rate: Saturation flow value of 1,700 vehicles per lane per hour; no adjustments are used for protected movements with dedicated lanes (including both right and left turns).
• Clearance Interval: A clearance interval factor of 5% (0.05) is applied to the ICU calculations.
• Level of Service Ranges: Table 2-1 below illustrates the thresholds used in assigning a letter value to the resulting LOS:
Table 2-1
Intersection ICU Level of Service
LOS
Critical Volume to
Capacity Ratio
A 0.00 – 0.60
B 0.61 – 0.70
C 0.71 – 0.80
D 0.81 – 0.90
E 0.91 – 1.00
F >1.00
• Peak-Periods: Weekday peak-hour analysis periods are defined as 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
• Peak-Hour: The highest one-hour period in both the AM and PM peak periods, as determined by four consecutive 15-minute count periods are used in the ICU calculations. Both AM and PM peak hours are studied.
2-3
• Right Turn Movements: If the distance from the edge of the outside through lane is at least 19 feet and parking is prohibited during the peak period, right turning vehicles may be assumed to utilize this "unofficial" right turn lane. Otherwise, all right turn traffic is assigned to the through lane. If a right turn lane exists, right turn activity is checked for conflicts with other critical movements. It is assumed that right turn movements are accommodated during non-conflicting left turn phases (e.g., northbound right turns during westbound left turn phase), as well as non-conflicting through flows (e.g., northbound right turn movements and north/south through flows). Right turn movements become critical when conflicting movements (e.g., northbound right turns, southbound left turns, and eastbound through flows) represent a sum of V/C ratios, which are greater than the normal through/left turn critical movements.
2.2 Unsignalized Intersection Peak Hour Level of Service Analysis Methodology The Highway Capacity Manual 7th Edition (HCM 7) methodology is used to calculate level of service at unsignalized study area intersections. For intersections with stop control on the minor approach only, the calculation of level of service is dependent on the occurrence of gaps occurring in the free-flow traffic movement of the major street, and the level of service is determined based on the worst individual movement on the stop-controlled minor approach or movements sharing a single lane on the stop-controlled minor approach.
Table 2-2 shows the level of service criteria based on the HCM 7 methodology.
Table 2-2
HCM Level of Service - Vehicle Delay (Unsignalized Intersections) Level of Service (LOS) Vehicle Delay (Seconds)
A 0.00 - 10.00
B 10.01 - 15.00
C 15.01 - 25.00
D 25.01 - 35.00
E 35.01 - 50.00
F >50.00
2-4
2.3 LOS Performance Criteria & Thresholds of Improvement Requirement The City of Laguna Hills General Plan Mobility Element level of service standard for intersections is LOS D. This would be appropriate for both signalized and unsignalized intersections listed in the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH).
A LOS impact is identified when an intersection is operating at an ICU or V/C ratio at or below 0.90 and the project causes the level to exceed 0.90 by an impact equal to or greater than 0.01. Furthermore, if an intersection is already operating at a LOS E or F, any ICU or V/C ratio impact equal to or greater than 0.01 would be considered a significant impact by the project. For unsignalized intersections, if the LOS with the project exceeds LOS D then a level of service impact would occur if the following conditions are met:
• The project increases the delay by 2-seconds or more, • The project contributes 50 or more peak hour trips to the intersection, and • Traffic signal warrants are satisfied.

3.0 Circulation System & Existing Conditions
This section provides a discussion of existing study area conditions and traffic volumes.
3.1 Existing Traffic Controls & Intersection Geometrics Exhibit 3-1 identifies the existing roadway conditions for the study area roadways. The number of through traffic lanes for existing roadways and the existing intersection controls are identified. The type of traffic control and number of lanes at an intersection are key inputs for the calculation of level of service.
3.2 Existing Traffic Volumes
Existing conditions intersection level of service calculations are based upon manual AM and PM peak hour turning movement counts taken in May 2023 during typical weekday conditions. The weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes were determined by counting the two-hour peak period from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, and from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, respectively, and using the highest hour within each two-hour peak period.
The traffic count worksheets are included in Appendix B. Existing traffic volumes are provided in Exhibit 3-2.
4-1
4.0 Project Traffic Volumes
This section provides a discussion on methodologies utilized to derive project traffic volumes for the study area.
4.1 Project Traffic Conditions
4.1.1 Project Trip Generation
Trip generation represents the amount of traffic that is attracted and produced by a development. The trip generation for the project is based upon specific land uses that have been planned for this development.
Trip generation rates for the proposed development are shown in Table 4-1 and are from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition, 2021). This publication provides a comprehensive evaluation of trip generation rates for a variety of land uses. The proposed project consists of a 10- vehicle fueling position (VFP) gas station. As such, ITE Land Use 944:
Gasoline/Service Station trip rates are the most appropriate for the proposed project.
Utilizing the trip generation rates from Table 4-1, Table 4-2 summarizes the daily and peak hour trip generation for weekday conditions for the proposed project and the entitled land use.
It should be noted that the total net trip generation includes adjustments for passby per the ITE Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition). These pass-by reductions account for trips that are already present in everyday traffic on the adjacent streets (i.e., Alicia Parkway & Paseo de Valencia) and will stop by the project site as they pass by on their way to another destination. The pass-by reduction factors used are summarized in the footnotes of Table 4-2.
As shown at the bottom of Table 4-2, the project is forecast to generate approximately 1,290 net daily trips which include approximately 38 net AM peak hour net trips and approximately 60 net PM peak hour net trips.

4.1.2 Project Trip Distribution & Assignment
Trip distribution represents the directional orientation of traffic to and from the project site. Trip distribution is heavily influenced by the geographical location of the site, the location of residential, employment and recreational opportunities, and the proximity to the regional freeway system. The directional orientation of traffic was determined by evaluating existing and proposed land uses, highways within the community, and existing traffic volumes.
Exhibit 4-1 shows the project’s trip distribution pattern.
4.1.3 Modal Split
Modal split denotes the proportion of traffic generated by a project that would use any of the transportation modes, namely buses, cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trains, carpools, etc. The traffic-reducing potential of public transit and other modes is significant. However, the traffic projections in this study are conservative in that public transit and alternative transportation may be able to reduce the traffic volumes, but no modal split reduction is applied to the projections. With the implementation of transit service and provision of alternative transportation ideas and incentives, the automobile traffic demand can be reduced significantly.
4.1.4 Project Peak Hour Traffic Volumes
The assignment of project traffic to the adjoining roadway system is based upon the project’s trip generation, trip distribution, and arterial highway and local street systems that would be in place by the time of initial occupancy of the site The project’s AM and PM peak hour intersection turning movement volumes are shown on Exhibit 4-2.
4.2 Background Traffic
4.2.1 Method of Projection
To assess future traffic conditions, project traffic is combined with existing traffic and area-wide growth. As directed by City staff, to account for area-wide/ambient growth in the study area, a linear annual growth rate of one percent (1%) per year
4-3
has been applied to the existing (2023) traffic volumes over a two-year period for project opening year 2025 conditions (i.e. 2% total growth).
4.2.2 Cumulative Projects Traffic Volumes
Information on future projects in the vicinity of the study area has been provided by City of Laguna Hills staff for inclusion in this analysis and is shown in Table 4-3.
Table 4-3 shows the land uses, and daily and peak hour trip generation for the nearby cumulative projects provided by the public agencies.
A location map of the cumulative projects is shown on Exhibit 4-3. Cumulative projects traffic volumes are shown on Exhibit 4-4.
In reality, some of the cumulative projects may be downsized or may not be developed by the project opening year (2025). In addition, many of the cumulative projects have been or will be subject to a variety of mitigation measures that will reduce the potential environmental impacts associated with those projects.
However, those mitigation measures have not been taken into account in projecting the environmental impact of the related projects. Therefore, the cumulative analyses set forth below are conservative and could result in greater impacts than actually anticipated.
4.3 Existing Plus Project Conditions Traffic Volumes
Existing Plus Project Conditions traffic volumes consist of existing (2023) traffic volumes plus traffic generated by the proposed project. Existing Plus Project Conditions traffic volumes are shown on Exhibit 4-5.
4.4 Opening Year (2025) Without Project Conditions Traffic Volumes Opening Year (2025) Without Project Conditions traffic volumes consist of two (2) years of linear annual growth on top of existing (2023) traffic volumes at one percent (1%) per year (i.e. 2% total growth), plus traffic generated by the cumulative projects. Opening Year (2025) Without Project Conditions traffic volumes are shown on Exhibit 4-6.
4.5 Opening Year (2025) With Project Conditions Traffic Volumes Opening Year (2025) With Project Conditions traffic volumes consist of two (2) years of linear annual growth on top of existing (2023) traffic volumes at one percent (1%) per year

6.0 Gas Station Queuing Analysis
This section of the report analyzes the potential queuing associated with the gas station to ensure that the existing parking spaces and/or the parking drive aisles are not impacted by drivers waiting to fuel their vehicles.
Per City staff direction, gas station queuing data has been collected at the following two (2) existing gas station/supermarket combo locations:
• Ralphs: 12618 Limonite Avenue, Eastvale, CA (14 Vehicle Fueling Positions) • Food 4 Less: 2090 South Garey Avenue, Pom6-1ona, CA (10 Vehicle Fueling Positions)
These queuing observations were conducted on a typical weekday (Thursday, June 8, 2023) during the AM peak period (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM) and PM peak period (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM). Queuing observations were also conducted on a typical Saturday (Saturday, June 3, 2023) during the midday peak period (12:00 PM to 2:00 PM). These queuing observations were conducted in 5-minute intervals.
The observed gas station queuing data is provided in Appendix G.
As shown in Appendix G, the maximum number of vehicles waiting for a gas pump during Thursday conditions was two (2) vehicles during one 5-minute interval at the Eastvale location. There was never a queue during Thursday conditions at the Pomona location.
Furthermore, there was never a queue at either location during Saturday conditions.
As such, the maximum queue of two (2) vehicles which was only observed for one 5- minute interval at one location during all queuing observation timeframes, can be fully accommodated within the adjacent area next to the fueling area without blocking the existing parking spaces and/or the parking drive aisles. Additionally, the traffic flow will be bi-directional for the pump access which will further help facilitate ingress/ egress for vehicles as they enter/exit the fueling area.

7.0 CEQA Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis
A vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analysis has been prepared pursuant to the latest requirements for assessing transportation impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Laguna Hills has adopted methodologies and recommendations for VMT assessment as contained within the City of Laguna Hills Vehicles Miles Traveled Analysis Guidelines under the California Environment Quality Act and General Plan Development Review Traffic Study Guidelines, dated August, 2021. In accordance with the City of Laguna Hills VMT guidelines, there are five (5) types of screening that lead agencies can be applied to effectively screen projects from project-level assessment. These are summarized below:
1. 100% Affordable Housing
2. Located within ½ mile of Qualifying Transit
3. Local Serving Land Use
4. Low VMT Area
5. Net Daily Trips Less Than 500 ADT
7.1 VMT Screening Step 3: Local Serving Land Use
Per the City of Laguna Hills VMT guidelines, local serving land uses provide goods and services to the local community and offer more opportunities for residents and employees to obtain services closer to home and work, which thereby shortens trip lengths and reduced VMT. As such, projects with a local serving land use may be presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT.
Table 1: List of Local Serving Uses from the City of Laguna Hills VMT guidelines identifies gas service station as a local serving land use under the category of local serving retail less than 50,000 square feet. Because the proposed project is a gasoline/service station, the project meets the VMT Screening Step 3: Local Serving Land Use criterion.
As a result, the project can be assumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT under CEQA and no further VMT analysis is required.
8-1
8.0 Findings and Recommendations
The purpose of this traffic impact study is to evaluate the proposed Alicia Town Center Ralph’s Fuel Center (hereinafter referred to as “Project”) from a traffic and circulation standpoint and to determine whether the Project has a significant traffic impact.
This traffic study has been conducted pursuant to the City of Laguna Hills Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis Guidelines under the California Environmental Quality Act and General Plan Development Review Traffic Study Guidelines, dated August 2021.
8.1 Site Location & Project Description
The proposed project is located within the existing Alicia Town Center shopping center at the southeast corner of Alicia Parkway and Paseo de Valencia, in the City of Laguna Hills.
The project site is currently part of the existing Ralph’s parking lot and is bounded by Paseo De Valencia to the north, the Ralph’s shopping center to the south and east, and Alicia Parkway to the west.
The proposed project consists of a 10-vehicle fueling position (VFP) gas station (five dual sided pump islands). The project will require the removal of 39 parking spaces and will add 4 spaces (306 total current parking spaces to 271 total spaces after the proposed project is constructed) within the existing Alicia Town Center shopping center.
Access to the project is currently provided and will continue to be provided via the existing full-access signalized intersection of Alicia Parkway at Community Center Drive (i.e. Project Access No. 1) and the one (1) full-access unsignalized driveway located along Paseo De Valencia (i.e. Project Access No. 2). The existing Alicia Town Center is also served by two additional driveways, one driveway on Alicia Parkway and one driveway on Paseo De Valencia, that serve the back of house loading docks and receiving area for the existing supermarket. For the purposes of this study, no project traffic is expected to utilize either of these back of house driveways and thus they are not included in this analysis.
The project is anticipated to open in 2025 and will be evaluated in one single phase.

REVISED Traffic Impact Analysis Scoping Agreement
May 17, 2023
The following provides information on the proposed project, summarizes the analysis scope, parameters, and assumptions for review and approval, and also includes a request for information on items related to the study.
A. Project Description: The proposed Alicia Town Center Ralph’s Fuel Center project is located within the existing Alicia Town Center shopping center at the southwest corner of Alicia Parkway and Paseo de Valencia in the City of Laguna Hills.
The proposed project consists of a 10 vehicle fueling position (VFP) gas station (five dual sided pump islands). The project will require the removal of 42 parking spaces (306 total parking spaces currently to 264 total spaces after the proposed project is constructed).
Access to the project is currently provided and will continue to be provided via the existing full-access signalized intersection of Alicia Parkway at Community Center Drive and the one (1) full-access unsignalized driveway located along Paseo De Valencia. (The existing Alicia Town Center is also served by two additional driveways, one driveway on Alicia Parkway and one driveway on Paseo De Valencia that serve the back of house loading docks and receiving area for the existing supermarket. For purposes of this project, no project traffic is expected to utilize the back of house driveways and thus they are not included in the scope of this analysis).
The project is planned to open in 2025 and will be evaluated in one phase.
Exhibit A shows the location map of the proposed project. Exhibit B shows the proposed project site plan.
B. Project Trip Generation: Trip generation represents the amount of traffic that is attracted and produced by a development.
Trip generation is typically estimated based on the trip generation rates from the latest Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. The latest and most recent version (11th Edition, 2021) ITE Manual will be utilized in the traffic study. This publication provides a comprehensive evaluation of trip generation rates for a variety of land uses.
2 The project is proposing to construct a 10 vehicle fueling position (VFP) gas station (five dual sided pump islands. As such, ITE Land Use 944: Gasoline/Service Station trip rates are most appropriate for the proposed project.
Table 1 shows the ITE trip generation rates utilized for the trip generation analysis of the proposed project.

3 As shown in Table 2, without taking credit for ITE-recommended pass-by trip adjustments, the proposed project is forecast to generate approximately 1,720 gross daily trips which include approximately 103 gross AM peak hour trips and approximately 140 gross PM peak hour trips. After taking credit for ITE-recommended pass-by trip adjustments, the proposed project is forecast to generate approximately 1,290 net daily trips, which include approximately 38 net AM peak hour trips and approximately 60 net AM peak hour trips C. Project Trip Distribution: Exhibit C shows the project’s trip distribution pattern.
D. Study Intersections: The analysis will evaluate the following three (3) study intersections:
1. Alicia Parkway (N/S) at Paseo de Valencia (E/W);
2. Alicia Parkway (N/S) at Community Center Drive/Alicia Town Center Driveway No. 1 (E/W); and
3. Alicia Town Center Driveway No. 2 (N/S) and Paseo de Valencia.
E. Analysis Scenarios: The analysis will evaluate traffic conditions for the following scenarios during the weekday AM (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM) and weekday PM (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) peak hour conditions:
• Existing Conditions;
• Existing Plus Project Conditions;
• Project Opening Year (Year 2025) With Cumulative Projects Without Project Conditions; and
• Project Opening Year (Year 2025) With Cumulative Projects With Project Conditions.
F. Traffic Analysis Parameters: The analysis will utilize the following parameters:
• PTV Vistro 2023 analysis software.
• Signalized intersections will be analyzed via the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology &
• Unsignalized intersections will be analyzed via the Highway Capacity Manual 7 th
Edition (HCM 7) methodology.
4 • Intersection LOS parameters as identified within the City of Laguna Hills Traffic Study Guidelines, City of Laguna Hills, California, dated August 31, 2010, prepared by RK Engineering Group Inc.
G. Existing Traffic Counts: The analysis will utilize new traffic counts. The counts will not be collected by vehicle classification.
• AM peak period counts will be collected during one typical weekday from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM.
• PM peak period counts will be collected during one typical weekday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
H. Project Opening Year Conditions Traffic Volumes: Background (project opening year) traffic volumes will be derived by applying an annual growth rate of one percent (1%) per year to the Existing traffic volumes (i.e. 2% total growth) and adding traffic from any cumulative developments located within one and one-half mile of the project site.
I. VMT Screening Analysis: The City of Laguna Hills has adopted methodologies and recommendations for VMT assessment as contained within the City of Laguna Hills Vehicles Miles Traveled Analysis Guidelines under the California Environment Quality Act and General Plan Development Review Traffic Study Guidelines, dated August, 2021. In accordance with the City of Laguna Hills VMT guidelines, there are five (5) types of screening that lead agencies can be applied to effectively screen projects from project-level assessment. These are summarized below:
1. 100% Affordable Housing
2. Located within ½ mile of Qualifying Transit
3. Local Serving Land Use
4. Low VMT Area
5. Net Daily Trips Less Than 500 ADT
VMT Screening Step 3: Local Serving Land Use
Per the City of Laguna Hills VMT guidelines, local serving land uses provide goods and services to the local community and offer more opportunities for residents and employees to obtain services closer to home and work, which thereby shortens trip lengths and
5 reduced VMT. As such, projects with a local serving land use may be presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT.
Table 1: List of Local Serving Uses from the City of Laguna Hills VMT guidelines identifies gas service station as a local serving land use under the category of local serving retail less than 50,000 square feet. Because the proposed project is a gasoline/service station, the project meets the VMT Screening Step 3: Local Serving Land Use criterion.
As a result, the project can be assumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT under CEQA and no further VMT analysis is required. A summary of the VMT screening analysis will be provided in the Traffic Impact Study report.
J. Gas Station Queuing Analysis: To ensure that existing parking spaces and/or the parking drive aisles are not impacted by drivers waiting to fuel their vehicles, queuing observations will be conducted at the following two (2) existing gas station/supermarket combo locations:
• Ralphs: 12618 Limonite Avenue, Corona, CA
• Food 4 Less: 2090 South Garey Avenue, Pomona, CA
These drive-through observations will be conducted during one typical weekday during the AM peak (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM) and PM peak (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) periods in 5-minute intervals. Additionally, a Saturday queuing observation will also be conducted during the midday peak period (12:00 PM to 2:00 PM) in 5-minute intervals. The results from these queuing observations will be tabulated and compared against the on-site circulation/storage to determine if adequate storage is provided and ensure the queue will not extend back to block parking spaces and/or parking drive aisles.
K. Performance Criteria: The City of Laguna Hills level of service standard for signalized and unsignalized intersections is LOS D.
L. Significant Impact Criteria: For signalized intersections, a significant impact is identified when an intersection or roadway segment is already operating at an ICU or V/C ratio at or below 0.900 and the project causes the level to exceed 0.900 by an impact equal to or greater than 0.010. Furthermore, if an intersection or roadway segment is already operating at a LOS E or F, any ICU or V/C ratio impact equal to or greater than
0.010 would be considered a significant impact by the project.
6 For unsignalized intersections, utilizing the HCM 7 methodology, a significant impact is identified when an intersection is operating at a LOS E or F and the project causes any increase in delay.
M. Request for Information: Please provide information on the following for use in the traffic study:
• Information on cumulative projects that need to be included in the traffic analysis (location, land use type(s), and land use quantities); and • Information on future roadway and circulation system modifications/improvements that are planned within the study area and would potentially affect the analysis.

UPDATED PARKING STUDY
ALICIA TOWN CENTER
City of Laguna Hills, CA
April 22, 2024
Ms. Monique Lacher
Aliso Equities Ltd.
2801 W. Coast Hwy. #380
Newport Beach, CA 92663
Subject: Alicia Town Center Updated Parking Study, City of Laguna Hills Dear Ms. Lacher:
Introduction
RK ENGINEERING GROUP, INC. (RK) is pleased to provide this updated parking study for the Alicia Town Center Shopping Center. The existing site is located at 25594-25632 Alicia Parkway and 25539 Paseo de Valencia in the City of Laguna Hills, California. The location map is provided in Exhibit A.
Representatives of Alicia Town Center are proposing to include a fuel station with a 178-sf prefabricated kiosk. The fuel station will include water and air services. The project will require the removal of approximately 39 parking spaces to accommodate the gas station.
Four (4) new parking spaces will be added behind Ralphs (306 total current parking spaces – 39 spaces + 4 spaces which is 271 parking spaces in total after the proposed project is constructed). Exhibit B shows the site plan and the location of the four additional spaces.
RK completed an observed parking study for the shopping center in April 2019. The study included parking counts during a typical Friday and Saturday in the month of November. A full tenant occupancy scenario was calculated utilizing observed parking counts, parking demand for tenant vacancies was determined by utilizing the ULI Shared Parking Time-ofDay factors with the Laguna Hills parking requirements, and a 10% increase was added to account for potential fluctuations of parking demand. The analysis also included a calculation of converting vacant tenant space to a “Most Intense Use” like a Gym, Spa, or health club. The findings concluded that under both scenarios, adequate parking is provided at the shopping center assuming full tenant occupancy. As a result, the city approved the project with CUP/PUP 11-18-4383 by Resolution No PA2019-05-14-X.
RK19662
To confirm the adequacy of parking for the shopping center with the proposed fuel station, RK will utilize the observed parking data from the 2019 parking study. This analysis will be consistent with the 2019 study and utilize the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking code to verify the parking requirements for the project.
Appendix A includes the 2019 Alicia Town Center Parking Study.
City of Laguna Hills Parking Code: Tables 1 & 2
The project is utilizing the City of Laguna Hills Parking Municipal Parking Code Section 9-
44. A - Off Street Parking Spaces to determine the parking requirements for the project.
The analysis covers existing and proposed parking calculations as identified below:
Table 1: Existing Conditions (Year 2019)
For consistency and accuracy, the Existing Conditions Table is consistent with the 2019 approved parking study Table 1. The project provides a total of 306 parking spaces.
Considering all tenants and vacancies the center has a parking deficiency of 40 parking spaces or 12% deficient per code.
Table 2: Proposed Conditions w/ Fuel Station
Table 2 identifies the current tenants with the proposed fuel station. Based on the municipal parking code, the parking requirement for the fuel station is “2 stalls plus additional parking as required for a convenience store or auto service/repair uses. The gas station convenience store parking requirement shall be 1 stall /800SF-GFA. Parking spaces abutting air and water service shall not be included in the total number of parking spaces.” As a result, the fuel station parking requirement is 3 parking spaces.
There are no current vacancies within the shopping center. As noted, the proposed fuel station will displace a total of 39 parking spaces. As a result, the parking inventory has been reduced to 271 parking spaces. Assuming the proposed fuel station is in operation, the project has a parking deficiency of 73 parking spaces or 21% deficient per code.
Based on the parking requirements for both existing and proposed conditions, the project falls short of code standards in both scenarios. However, it is crucial to understand that the code's parking deficiency might not necessarily translate to an actual shortage of parking on-site.
RK19662
This is because the parking code does not account for factors such as operational hours, mixed uses, or any unique site operations. Consequently, an hourly parking analysis was conducted to assess the adequacy of parking for the project in a real-world context. The 2019 observed parking data is being utilized to confirm the adequacy of parking based on a full tenant occupancy scenario with the proposed fuel station in operation.
Observed Parking Demand Results: Tables 3 & 4
To determine the adequacy of parking for the project, RK utilized the observed parking counts from the 2019 parking study, the proposed fuel station, and the tenant vacancies at that time (See Table 1). The parking surveys were conducted during the following days and times:
Day Hours Interval
Friday, November 2, 2018 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM Hourly
Saturday November 3, 2018 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM Hourly
The observed analysis follows standard engineering practices and guidelines. The survey days included typical weather conditions with no rain. The observed parking counts were completed when the site was in operation with typical operation conditions and times.
Furthermore, the parking survey hours of 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM were selected because they cover the daily hours of operation for the site. A total of 32 hours of observed parking demand data was collected to determine the adequacy of parking for the project. The parking surveys were conducted by an independent third party (Counts Unlimited, Inc.).
Table 3: Weekday Observed Parking Survey Results w/ Fuel Station The peak parking demand occurred from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM when a total of 179 vehicles were parked for the project. Since the project will have a total of 271 parking spaces, the site is 66% occupied with 92 parking spaces available.
Table 4: Weekend Observed Parking Survey Results w/ Fuel Station The peak parking demand occurred from 11:00 AM - 12:00 AM when a total of 201 vehicles were parked for the project. Since the project will have a total of 271 parking spaces, the site is 74% occupied with 70 parking spaces available. This represents the overall peak parking demand for the project.
RK19662
Based on the results of the observed parking surveys, the shopping center has a 70-parking stall surplus which is an adequate number of parking spaces to serve the project assuming a full tenant occupancy scenario with the additional fuel station in operation.
Conclusion
Alicia Town Center currently consists of a total of 65,808 square feet of retail, restaurant, bank, dental, grocery store, uses, etc. The site has a total of 306 parking spaces.
Representatives of the project are proposing constructing a fuel station with a 178-squarefoot kiosk. The project will require the removal of approximately thirty-nine (39) parking spaces to accommodate the gas station. Four (4) new parking spaces will be added behind Ralphs (306 total current parking spaces – 39 spaces + 4 spaces which is approximately 271 total spaces in total after the proposed project is constructed).
RK reviewed the parameters and scope of the updated study with the City of Laguna Hills before starting. This study follows standard engineering practice and guidelines for determining future parking demands for a neighborhood shopping center use and is consistent with the 2019 calculations.
The code required parking identifies a parking deficiency in both existing and proposed scenarios. However, it is important to note that the City of Laguna Hill’s approved the 2019 CUP/PUP and Resolution whereby it was shown that the Center has adequate surplus available parking to accommodate existing uses and future uses requiring more parking.
The Center’s actual peak parking demand is far below the parking Code requirement, and there is a surplus parking capacity for a wide range of potential uses.
RK utilized the approved 2019 observed parking data to confirm the adequacy of parking for the project assuming a full tenant occupancy scenario with the proposed fuel station in operation. Based on the observed parking count data, the project has enough parking spaces to serve all uses.
In conclusion, the results of the analysis indicate that the Alicia Town Center has an adequate number of parking spaces to accommodate the proposed fuel station in a full-tenant occupancy scenario, with a parking surplus still available.

Subject: Alicia Town Center Parking Study, City of Laguna Hills Dear Ms. Lacher:
Introduction
RK ENGINEERING GROUP, INC. (RK) is pleased to provide this parking study for the Alicia Town Center Shopping Center. The existing site is located at 25594-25632 Alicia Parkway and 25539 Paseo de Valencia in the City of Laguna Hills, California. The location map is provided in Exhibit A.
Alicia Town Center currently consists of approximately 65,808 square feet of retail, restaurant, barber shop, bank, dental, grocery store, etc. The shopping center is anchored by a Ralph’s super market occupying approximately 45,424 square feet or 69% of the gross floor area. The site currently has approximately 4,125 square feet or 6% of vacant tenant space.
The shopping center provides a total of 306 available parking spaces (including 8 handicap parking spaces) in a surface lot surrounding the buildings. Parking for the project is shared globally and non-exclusively by all tenants and visitors. The shopping center site plan is provided in Exhibit B. (The parking field has a total of 310 spaces, 4 of which are currently being used for cart storage, leaving a balance of 306 available parking spaces.) A representative of the project (Ms. Monique Lacher) is proposing to add new tenants to the shopping center that may generate a higher parking demand when compared to the existing uses within the site. As a result, a parking code calculation and an observed parking study is required in order to demonstrate that adequate parking is provided for all existing and proposed tenants and land uses.
RK 14067
It should be noted that the parking calculations in this report represent proposed uses with the highest possible parking requirements that are appropriate for the shopping center. By analyzing proposed uses with the most intense parking requirements, it can be determined if the site provides adequate parking for a variety of tenant/land uses based on a 100% occupancy scenario. This will allow representatives of Alicia Town Center to have flexibility with potential tenants and land uses.
City of Laguna Hills Parking Code Existing Conditions: Table 1 Taking into account existing conditions and assuming occupancy of the 4,125 square feet of tenant vacancies, per the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code (9-44.A Off Street Spaces Required) and the parking requirements for City approved projects; Alicia Town Center requires a total of 346 parking spaces. The project provides a total of 306 parking spaces. As a result, the center has a parking deficiency of 40 parking spaces or 12% deficient per the Municipal Parking Code. Table 1 provides the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code (9-44.A Off Street Parking Spaces Required) for existing conditions.
The City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code is included in Appendix A.
Potential Tenants/Land Uses for Alicia Town Center
In order to accurately determine the future peak parking demands for Alicia Town Center, RK selected tenant/land uses that have the most intense parking requirements based on the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code. By calculating the required parking for uses that generate the greatest parking demands, the adequacy of parking can be determined based on a variety of potential tenants and land uses. Therefore, tenants/land uses who require lower parking ratios could easily be accommodated.
As new leases become available, representatives of the shopping center are proposing to convert approximately 7,787 square feet of building area to uses that may generate a higher parking rate. Under existing conditions, the shopping center has a total of 4,125 square feet of vacant tenant space. In addition, representatives are proposing to convert approximately 3,662 square feet of existing tenant uses to uses with a higher parking rate.
The parking requirements of potential tenants occupying the vacant square feet can be calculated by utilizing the Municipal Parking Code. A list of potential land uses with the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code is outlined in the table below on the following page.

Based on potential land use alternative parking calculations, Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs were selected for modeling purposes because it has the most intense parking requirement of 78 parking spaces, or 1 space/100 SF-GFA.
It should be noted however, that it is very unlikely that 7,787 square feet of Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs use will be utilized in the shopping center. This space will most likely be occupied by a combination of the above listed tenants with lower parking requirements such as restaurant, retail, medical office, etc. The Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs parking requirement calculation is strictly being utilized to determine the most intense and conservative parking scenario for the project.
City of Laguna Hills Parking Code Most Intense Land Use Scenario: Table 2 Taking into account a full occupancy scenario with 7,787 square feet of Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs use, per the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code (9-44.A Off Street Spaces Required) and the parking requirements for City approved projects; Alicia Town Center requires a total of 388 parking spaces. The project provides a total of 306 parking spaces. As a result, the center has a parking deficiency of 82 parking spaces or 21% deficient per the Municipal Parking Code. Table 2 provides the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code (9-44.A Off Street Parking Spaces Required) for the most intense land use scenario.
RK 14067
Observed Parking Surveys Friday, November 2nd and Saturday, November 3rd, 2018 Due to the calculated parking code deficiency per the Municipal Code, RK has been requested to prepare an observed parking study in order to determine whether adequate parking is available to accommodate proposed tenants/uses within the Alicia Town Center.
Prior to initiating the parking study, RK reviewed the parameters of the study with the City of Laguna Hills. This study follows standard engineering practice and guidelines for determining future parking demands for a neighborhood shopping center use.
It should be noted that the observed parking surveys were obtained during a typical Friday and Saturday from 6AM to 9PM at one hour intervals. The study days are consistent with shopping center peak parking demand data published in the ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) Parking Generation Manual 5th Edition. The data confirms that peak parking demands at shopping centers typically peak on a Friday and Saturday. Please see Appendix B for shopping center peak weekday and weekend parking rates published by ITE.
In addition, the parking survey timeframes of 6AM to 9PM were selected because they cover the peak time of day factors for a variety of potential tenants/uses within the site.
For example, a health club or restaurant serving breakfast would generate a greater parking demand in the early morning hours when compared to a retail use or restaurant only serving lunch or dinner. As a result, the parking survey covers the peak parking demand time of day factors for a variety of potential land uses.
Observed Peak Parking Demand Survey
Per the direction of the City of Laguna Hills, RK obtained a detailed parking survey capturing the parking demand at Alicia Town Center on a typical Friday, November 2nd and Saturday, November 3rd from 6 AM to 9 PM at one hour intervals. As a result, a total of 30 hours of observed parking counts were collected at the shopping center. The parking surveys were conducted by an independent third party (Counts Unlimited, Inc.,).
Representatives from Counts Unlimited Inc. utilized three (3) parking zones within the study area to determine the hourly parking demand for each zone. During the time of the parking survey, the number of parked vehicles was counted in each of the parking zones.
Exhibit C indicates the parking zones utilized in the report. The raw data of the observed parking counts are included in Appendix C.
RK 14067
The parking survey hours straddle the proposed operating hours for many types of tenants and land uses. As a result, the parking survey covers the peak parking demand time of day factors for a variety of potential land uses.
Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs are appropriate potential land uses that represent the most intense parking rate (1 space / 100 SF-GFA) for the shopping center. This rate was utilized to demonstrate the use with the greatest parking demand and by conservative measure illustrate that adequate parking is provided.
In order to be conservative, the full parking demand (78 spaces) was added to the observed counts during all hours of the day. In addition, at the time of the observed parking study, a total of 4,125 square feet was vacant. The observed parking counts were not discounted due to the conversion of 3,662 square feet of uses which were occupied at the time of the survey. As a result, other potential uses with lower parking rates such as retail, medical office, restaurant, etc. can also be accommodated within the shopping center.
Observed Parking Survey Results: Tables 3 & 4
A total of 78 parking spaces were added to the parking counts to account for the most intense land use scenario of 7,787 square feet of Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs use. The parking projection for the project is conservative because it does not take into account typical hourly parking demand variations for Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs use. The full parking requirement of 78 parking spaces was applied to all of the surveyed hours. As a result, other land uses that generate lower parking requirements can also be accommodated.
Friday, November 2, 2018 Observed Parking Results Full Occupancy Scenario:
Table 3
As identified in Table 3, assuming full occupancy with 7,787 square feet of the most intense use at Alicia Town Center, the projected peak parking demand for the site occurs from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Friday with a total of 217 parking spaces occupied out of 306 parking spaces provided.
Hence, based on the observed parking demand survey, 71% of the parking spaces would be occupied during the peak parking demand times with a total of 89 surplus unoccupied parking spaces within the shopping center.
RK 14067
Saturday, November 3, 2018 Observed Parking Results with Full Occupancy Scenario: Table 4
As identified in Table 4, assuming full occupancy with 7,787 square feet of the most intense use at Alicia Town Center, the projected peak parking demand for the site occurs from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday with a total of 237 parking spaces occupied out of 306 parking spaces provided.
Hence, based on the observed parking demand survey, 77% of the parking spaces would be occupied during peak parking demand times with a total of 69 surplus unoccupied parking spaces within the shopping center.
Based on the results of 30 hours of observed parking counts at Alicia Town Center and assuming full occupancy with the most intense use, the projected overall peak parking demand occurs from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday when a total of 77% of the parking lot was occupied.
It should be noted however, that it is very unlikely that 7,787 square feet of Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs use will be utilized in the shopping center. This space will most likely be occupied by a combination of other tenants with lower parking requirements such as restaurant, retail, medical office, etc. The Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs parking requirement calculation is strictly being utilized to determine the most intense and conservative parking scenario for the project.
The parking projections found in this study are conservative due to the fact that the land use with the most intense parking requirement Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs was utilized for the study. Also, the full parking rate was added to the observed parking counts for all times of the day.
RK 14067
ULI published peak monthly parking variations for shopping centers was also applied to forecast the peak parking demand during all twelve months of the year. As indicated in the graph below, assuming full tenant occupancy, the peak parking demand of the shopping center never exceeds the parking supply.

Conclusion
Alicia Town Center currently consists of a total of 65,808 square feet of retail, restaurant, barber shop, bank, dental, grocery store, etc. The project provides a total of 306 available parking spaces that are shared globally by tenants and visitors in a surface parking lot.
RK reviewed the parameters of the study with the City of Laguna Hills. This study follows standard engineering practice and guidelines for determining future parking demands for a neighborhood shopping center use.
This parking study is conservative due to the following factors:
1. At the time of the parking survey, a total of 4,125 square feet of tenant space was vacant. The City Parking Code was utilized to calculate a 100% occupancy scenario with a potential land use that has the most intense parking requirement.
2. The observed parking counts added a parking demand based on a total of 7,787 square feet of tenant/land use with the highest parking rate appropriate for the shopping center. The parking demand was not discounted due to the conversion of 3,662 square feet of uses which were already occupied by tenants at the time of the survey.
3. The full parking demand (78 spaces) was added to the observed counts during all hours of the day.
4. Based on published ULI data, the parking demand never exceeds the parking supply during all times of the year.
5. As indicated Retail parking code (1 space / 200 SF-GFA) for the shopping center was utilized in Table 3A and 4A to demonstrate full tenant occupancy based on the existing 4,125 square feet of vacant tenant use. As a result, a total of 21 spaces was added to the observed counts during all hours of the day.
Table 4: Observed Parking Survey Results with Full Occupancy Scenario Based on a conservative calculation and assuming full occupancy with the most intense parking demand, the observed parking study indicates that the projected peak parking demand would occur on a Saturday from

JN:2776-2018-01
11:00 AM to 12:00 PM when a total of 77% of the parking lot is occupied.
As a result, a total surplus of 69 parking spaces is available to visitors and employees during peak parking demand time frames. (Refer Table 3 and 4) Table 4A: Observed Parking Survey Results Baseline (Full Tenant Occupancy w/ Retail)
Based on a conservative calculation and assuming full occupancy with the retail parking demand, the observed parking study indicates that the projected peak parking demand would occur on a Saturday from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM when a total of 65% of the parking lot is occupied. As a result, a total surplus of 108 parking spaces is available to visitors and employees during peak parking demand time frames. (Refer Table 3A and 4A)
In conclusion, the Alicia Town Center has an adequate number of parking spaces to accommodate potential tenants during all times of the year. Re-leasing up to 7,787 square feet of existing uses to retail, medical-office, restaurant, gym, spa, and health club uses could be accommodated and still provide a sufficient amount of parking on site.

3 Gyms, Spas, & Health Clubs are appropriate potential land uses that represent the most intense parking rate (1 space / 100 SF-GFA) for the shopping center. This rate was utilized to demonstrate the use with the greatest parking demand and by conservative measure illustrate that adequate parking is provided based on the observed parking analysis found in Tables 3 & 4. As a result, other potential uses with lower parking rates such as retail, medical office, restaurant, etc. can also be accommodated within the shopping center.

This rate was utilized to demonstrate the use with the greatest parking demand and by conservative measure illustrate that adequate parking is provided. In order to be conservative, the full parking demand (78 spaces) was added to the observed counts during all hours of the day. In addition, at the time of the observed parking study, a total of 4,125 square feet was vacant. The observed parking counts were not discounted due to the conversion of 3,662 square feet of uses which were occupied at the time of the survey. As a result, other potential uses with lower parking rates such as retail, medical office, restaurant, etc. can also be accommodated within the shopping center.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose of Analysis and Study Objectives
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the potential noise impacts from the proposed Alicia Town Center Ralph’s Fuel Center (hereinafter referred to as “project”) and provide recommendations, if necessary, to minimize any project noise impacts.
The assessment was conducted within the context of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, California Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq.) and the standards and methodology follow the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Code and General Plan requirements.
The following is provided in this report:
• A description of the study area and the proposed project • Information regarding the fundamentals of noise
• Identification of the regulatory setting and applicable noise standards • Establishment of the existing ambient noise environment at the project site • Analysis of the project’s operational noise impact to adjacent receptors • Summary of recommended project design features to reduce noise level impacts
1.2 Site Location
The proposed project is located within the existing Alicia Town Center shopping center at the southeast corner of Alicia Parkway and Paseo de Valencia, in the City of Laguna Hills.
The project site is currently part of the existing Ralph’s parking lot and is bounded by Paseo De Valencia to the north, the Ralph’s shopping center to the south and east, and Alicia Parkway to the west.
The nearest noise-sensitive receptors to the project site include the following:
Northern Receptors Existing residential homes located approximately 216 feet northeast of the proposed fuel center location, approximately 93 feet northeast of the centerline of Paseo de Valencia.
Eastern Receptors Existing residential land uses located approximately 322 feet east of the proposed fuel center location, approximately 79 feet south of the centerline of Paseo de Valencia.

2.0 Fundamentals of Noise
This section of the report provides basic information about noise and presents some of the terms used within the report.
2.1 Sound, Noise and Acoustics
Sound is a disturbance created by a moving or vibrating source and is capable of being detected by the hearing organs. Sound may be thought of as mechanical energy of a moving object transmitted by pressure waves through a medium to a human ear. For traffic, or stationary noise, the medium of concern is air. Noise is defined as sound that is loud, unpleasant, unexpected, or unwanted.
2.2 Frequency and Hertz
A continuous sound is described by its frequency (pitch) and its amplitude (loudness).
Frequency relates to the number of pressure oscillations per second. Low-frequency sounds are low in pitch (bass sounding) and high-frequency sounds are high in pitch (squeak).
These oscillations per second (cycles) are commonly referred to as Hertz (Hz). The human ear can hear from the bass pitch starting out at 20 Hz all the way to the high pitch of 20,000 Hz.
2.3 Sound Pressure Levels and Decibels
The amplitude of a sound determines its loudness. The loudness of sound increases or decreases, as the amplitude increases or decreases. Sound pressure amplitude is measured in units of micro-Newton per square inch meter (N/m2), also called micro-Pascal (μPa).
One μPa is approximately one hundred billionths (0.00000000001) of normal atmospheric pressure. Sound pressure level (SPL or Lp) is used to describe in logarithmic units the ratio of actual sound pressures to a reference pressure squared. These units are called decibels and abbreviated dB.
2.4 Addition of Decibels
Because decibels are on a logarithmic scale, sound pressure levels cannot be added or subtracted by simple plus or minus addition. When two (2) sounds of equal SPL are combined, they will produce an SPL 3 dB greater than the original single SPL.
In other words, sound energy must be doubled to produce a 3 dB increase.
2-2
If two (2) sounds differ by approximately 10 dB the higher sound level is the predominant sound.
2.5 Human Response to Changes in Noise Levels
In general, the healthy human ear is most sensitive to sounds between 1,000 Hz and 5,000 Hz, (A-weighted scale) and it perceives a sound within that range as being more intense than a sound with a higher or lower frequency with the same magnitude. For purposes of this report as well as with most environmental documents, the A-scale weighting is typically reported in terms of A-weighted decibel (dBA). Typically, the human ear can barely perceive the change in noise level of 3 dB. A change in 5 dB is readily perceptible, and a change in 10 dB is perceived as being twice or half as loud1 . As
previously discussed, a doubling of sound energy results in a 3 dB increase in sound, which means that a doubling of sound energy (e.g. doubling the volume of traffic on a highway), would result in a barely perceptible change in sound level.
2.6 Noise Descriptors
Noise in our daily environment fluctuates over time. Some noise levels occur in regular patterns, others are random. Some noise levels are constant, while others are sporadic. Noise descriptors were created to describe the different time-varying noise levels.
Following are the most commonly used noise descriptors along with brief definitions.
A-Weighted Sound Level
The sound pressure level in decibels as measured on a sound level meter using the A-weighted filter network. The A-weighting filter de-emphasizes the very low and very high frequency components of the sound in a manner similar to the response of the human ear. A numerical method of rating human judgment of loudness.
Ambient Noise Level
The composite of noise from all sources, near and far. In this context, the ambient noise level constitutes the normal or existing level of environmental noise at a given location. 1 Source: U.S. DOT Federal Highway Administration. Dec. 2011. Highway Traffic Noise: Analysis and Abatement Guidance.
2-3
Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL)
The average equivalent A-weighted sound level during a 24-hour day, obtained after addition of five (5) decibels to sound levels in the evening from 7:00 to 10:00 PM and after addition of ten (10) decibels to sound levels in the night before 7:00 AM and after 10:00 PM.
Decibel (dB)
A unit for measuring the amplitude of a sound, equal to 20 times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the pressure of the sound measured to the reference pressure, which is 20 micro-pascals.
dB(A)
A-weighted sound level (see definition above).
Equivalent Sound Level (LEQ)
The sound level corresponding to a steady noise level over a given sample period with the same amount of acoustic energy as the actual time varying noise level. The energy average noise level during the sample period.
Habitable Room
Any room meeting the requirements of the Uniform Building Code or other applicable regulations which is intended to be used for sleeping, living, cooking or dining purposes, excluding such enclosed spaces as closets, pantries, bath or toilet rooms, service rooms, connecting corridors, laundries, unfinished attics, foyers, storage spaces, cellars, utility rooms, and similar spaces.
L(n)
The A-weighted sound level exceeded during a certain percentage of the sample time. For example, L10 is the sound level exceeded 10 percent of the sample time. Similarly L50, L90 and L99, etc.
2-4
Noise
Any unwanted sound or sound which is undesirable because it interferes with speech and hearing, or is intense enough to damage hearing, or is otherwise annoying. The State Noise Control Act defines noise as "...excessive undesirable sound...".
Outdoor Living Area
Outdoor spaces that are associated with residential land uses typically used for passive recreational activities or other noise-sensitive uses. Such spaces include patio areas, barbecue areas, jacuzzi areas, etc. associated with residential uses; outdoor patient recovery or resting areas associated with hospitals, convalescent hospitals, or rest homes; outdoor areas associated with places of worship which have a significant role in services or other noise-sensitive activities; and outdoor school facilities routinely used for educational purposes which may be adversely impacted by noise. Outdoor areas usually not included in this definition are: front yard areas, driveways, greenbelts, maintenance areas and storage areas associated with residential land uses; exterior areas at hospitals that are not used for patient activities; outdoor areas associated with places of worship and principally used for short-term social gatherings; and, outdoor areas associated with school facilities that are not typically associated with educational uses prone to adverse noise impacts (for example, school play yard areas).
Percent Noise Levels
See L(n).
Sound Level (Noise Level)
The weighted sound pressure level obtained by use of a sound level meter having a standard frequency-filter for attenuating part of the sound spectrum.
Sound Level Meter
An instrument, including a microphone, an amplifier, an output meter, and frequency weighting networks for the measurement and determination of noise and sound levels.
2-5
Single Event Noise Exposure Level (SENEL)
The dBA level which, if it lasted for one (1) second, would produce the same A-weighted sound energy as the actual event.
2.7 Sound Propagation
As sound propagates from a source it spreads geometrically. Sound from a small, localized source (i.e., a point source) radiates uniformly outward as it travels away from the source in a spherical pattern. The sound level attenuates at a rate of 6 dB per doubling of distance.
The movement of vehicles down a roadway makes the source of the sound appear to propagate from a line (i.e., line source) rather than a point source. This line source results in the noise propagating from a roadway in a cylindrical spreading versus a spherical spreading that results from a point source. The sound level attenuates for a line source at a rate of 3 dB per doubling of distance.
As noise propagates from the source, it is affected by the ground and atmosphere. Noise models use hard site (reflective surfaces) and soft site (absorptive surfaces) to help calculate predicted noise levels. Hard site conditions assume no excessive ground absorption between the noise source and the receiver. Soft site conditions such as grass, soft dirt or landscaping attenuate noise at an additional rate of 1.5 dB per doubling of distance.
When added to the geometric spreading, the excess ground attenuation results in an overall noise attenuation of 3 dB per doubling of distance for a line source and 6.0 dB per doubling of distance for a point source.

2.8 Vibration Descriptors
Ground-borne vibrations consist of rapidly fluctuating motions within the ground that have an average motion of zero. The effects of ground-borne vibrations typically only cause a nuisance to people, but at extreme vibration levels, damage to buildings may occur.
Although ground-borne vibration can be felt outdoors, it is typically only an annoyance to people indoors where the associated effects of the shaking of a building can be notable.
Ground-borne noise is an effect of ground-borne vibration that only exists indoors since it is produced from noise radiated from the motion of the walls and floors of a room and may also consist of the rattling of windows or dishes on shelves.
Several different methods are used to quantify vibration amplitude.
PPV
Known as the peak particle velocity (PPV) which is the maximum instantaneous peak in vibration velocity, typically given in inches per second.
RMS
Known as the root mean squared (RMS) can be used to denote vibration amplitude.
VdB
A commonly used abbreviation to describe the vibration level (VdB) for a vibration source.
2.9 Vibration Perception
Typically, developed areas are continuously affected by vibration velocities of 50 VdB or lower. These continuous vibrations are not noticeable to humans whose threshold of perception is around 65 VdB. Outdoor sources that may produce perceptible vibrations are usually caused by construction equipment, steel-wheeled trains, and traffic on rough roads, while smooth roads rarely produce perceptible ground-borne noise or vibration. To counter the effects of ground-borne vibration, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has published guidance relative to vibration impacts.
2-8
2.10 Vibration Propagation
There are three main types of vibration propagation: surface, compression, and shear waves. Surface waves, or Rayleigh waves, travel along the ground’s surface. These waves carry most of their energy along an expanding circular wavefront, similar to ripples produced by throwing a rock into a pool of water. P-waves, or compression waves, are body waves that carry their energy along an expanding spherical wavefront. The particle motion in these waves is longitudinal (i.e., in a “push-pull” fashion). P-waves are analogous to airborne sound waves. S-waves, or shear waves, are also body waves that carry energy along an expanding spherical wavefront. However, unlike P-waves, the particle motion is transverse, or side-to-side and perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
As vibration waves propagate from a source, the vibration energy decreases in a logarithmic nature and the vibration levels typically decrease by 6 VdB per doubling of the distance from the vibration source. As stated above, this drop-off rate can vary greatly depending on the soil but has been shown to be effective enough for screening purposes in order to identify potential vibration impacts that may need to be studied through actual field tests.
2.11 Construction-Related Vibration Level Prediction3
Operational activities are separated into two different categories. The vibration can be transient or continuous in nature. Each category can result in varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the equipment used on the site. Operation of equipment causes ground vibrations that spread through the ground and diminish in strength with distance.
Buildings in the vicinity of the project area site respond to these vibrations with varying results ranging from no perceptible effects at the low levels to slight damage at the highest levels. The thresholds from Caltrans Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual, April 2020, in the table below provide general guidelines as to the maximum vibration limits for when vibration becomes potentially annoying. 3 Caltrans Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual, April 2020

Note: Transient sources create a single isolated vibration event, such as blasting or drop balls. Continuous/frequent intermittent sources include impact pile drivers, pogostick compactors, crack-and-seat equipment, vibratory pile drivers, and vibratory compaction equipment.
The Caltrans Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual, April 2020 provides general thresholds and guidelines as to the vibration damage potential from vibratory impacts. The table below provides general vibration damage potential thresholds:

4.0 Study Method and Procedures
The following section describes the noise measurement procedures and locations, noise modeling procedures, and assumptions used in this analysis.
4.1 Noise Measurement Procedures and Criteria
Noise measurements are taken to determine the existing noise levels. A noise receiver or receptor is any location in the noise analysis in which noise might produce an impact. The following criteria are used to select measurement locations and receptors:
• Locations expected to receive the highest noise impacts, such as the first row of houses
• Locations that are acoustically representative and equivalent to the area of concern • Human land usage
• Sites clear of major obstruction and contamination
RK conducted the sound level measurements in accordance with Caltrans technical noise specifications. All measurement equipment meets American National Standards Institute (ANSI) specifications for sound level meters (ANSI S1.4: Specification for Sound Level Meter, 1983)
Piccolo-II Type 2 integrating-averaging level meters were used to conduct noise measurements at the project site and property boundaries.
The Leq, Lmin, Lmax, L2, L8, L25, and L50 statistical data were recorded over the measurement time intervals and the information was utilized to define the noise characteristics for the project. The following gives a brief description of the procedures for sound level measurements:
• Microphones for sound level meters were placed five (5) feet above the ground for long-term noise measurements
• Sound level meters were calibrated before each measurement • Following the calibration of equipment, a windscreen was placed over the microphone
• Frequency weighting was set on “A” and slow response
• Temperature and sky conditions were observed and documented

Appendix B includes photos, field sheets, and measured noise data.
4.2 Stationary Noise Source Modeling
On-site stationary noise source impacts are analyzed using SoundPLANTM noise modeling software. SoundPLANTM is a standards-based program that incorporates more than twenty national and international noise modeling guidelines.
Projected noise levels from SoundPLANTM are based on the following key parameters:
• Developing three-dimensional noise models of the project, • Predicting the project noise levels at the selected community locations, and • Comparing the predicted noise with the existing community ambient noise levels at the receptor locations.
The sides of buildings, walls, etc. were modeled as reflective surfaces and as diffractive bodies.
Most of the area surrounding the project site consists of roadways, residential properties, and commercial land uses and has been run as a hard site (Ground Factor=0). The elevation profile for the project site is derived from Google Earth, and all the receptors are placed at 5 feet above ground level.
Sound Power and Sound Pressure Level
Sound power level is the acoustic energy emitted by a source that produces a sound pressure level at some distance. While the sound power level of a source is fixed, the sound pressure level depends upon the distance from the source and the acoustic characteristics of the area in which it is located.
SoundPLAN requires that the source noise level be input using sound power level and which must be back-calculated based on a measured sound pressure level. The sound power level is calculated using SoundPLAN software by calibrating the source noise level to equal the sound pressure level at an equal distance from the source in which the referenced measurement was taken.
4.2.1 Parking Lot Noise
Parking lot noise would occur from vehicles entering and exiting the site, fueling activity, idling, exhaust, doors slamming, tires screeching, general loading activities, people talking,
4-3
and the occasional horn honking. Parking lot noise would occur throughout the site and is assessed by using referenced noise levels in the SoundPLAN model. Referenced noise levels for parking lot activities are based on the SoundPLANTM standard Parkplatzlärmstudie 2007. Key inputs for parking lot noise include the parking lot type, size of the area source, number of movements per hour, type of vehicles, and number of parking spaces within each lot. The parking lot movements per hour used for this study are based on the Alicia Town Center Ralph’s Fuel Center REVISED Traffic Impact Analysis Scoping Agreement, performed by RK Engineering Group in May 2023.
4.2.2 HVAC Noise
The project will include one HVAC unit on the roof of the fuel center building. Noise resulting from the HVAC unit is assessed using referenced noise levels measured by RK. Table 7 below provides the referenced noise levels for on-site HVAC noise.
Table 7
Referenced Noise Levels – HVAC
Project Noise Source Distance from Source (feet) Noise Level (dBA Leq)1 HVAC Units 5.0 77.4
1 Noise level is representative of a single unit.
To estimate the future noise levels during typical operational conditions, noise levels are input into SoundPLAN and projected to the nearest sensitive receptor locations. Adjusted noise levels are based on the distance of the receptor location relative to the noise source, local topography, and physical barriers including buildings and sound walls. The noise levels assume that the HVAC unit is operating continuously during daytime and nighttime hours, when in reality it will likely operate only intermittently throughout the day.
5-1
5.0 Existing Noise Environment
The existing noise environment for the project site and surrounding areas has been established based on noise measurement data collected by RK. The project setting is residential, and the primary environmental noise impacting the project site is roadway noise from adjacent streets.
5.1 Noise Measurement Results
To determine the existing noise level environment, RK conducted two 24-hour noise measurements near the project site and adjacent residential noise receptors.
Noise levels were measured on June 1, 2023, using Piccolo-II Type 2 integrating-averaging sound level meters. The information was utilized to establish the noise characteristics of the existing ambient environment.
The noise monitoring locations were selected based on the proximity and location of adjacent sensitive receptors. Exhibit C graphically illustrates the location of the noise measurements.
• Noise Monitoring Location 1 (L-1) was taken at the northern boundary of the project site, approximately 52 feet north of the proposed fuel center location and approximately 67 feet south of the centerline of Paseo de Valencia. Ambient noise sources at the project site included operational activity at the Ralph’s shopping center, residential activity at the homes adjacent to the site, and roadway activity along Paseo de Valencia and Alicia Parkway.
• Noise Monitoring Location 2 (L-2) was taken approximately 378 feet east of the proposed fuel center and approximately 61 feet south of the centerline of Paseo de Valencia. Ambient noise sources at the project site included operational activity at the Ralph’s shopping center, residential activity at the homes adjacent to the site, and roadway activity along Paseo de Valencia and Alicia Parkway.
The 24-hour noise measurement results represent the existing ambient noise levels near the adjacent noise sensitive land uses. Results of the long-term measurements are shown in Tables 8 and 9. Appendix B includes photographs, field sheets, and measured noise data.

6.0 Operational Noise Impacts
This assessment analyzes the anticipated noise levels generated by the project and compares them to the standards established in the City of Laguna Hills General Plan Noise Element.
The primary sources of operational noise include parking lot activity (including fuel delivery and transfer from trucks) and HVAC mechanical equipment.
6.1 Stationary Source Noise Impacts
The City of Laguna Hills General Plan establishes residential noise standards for the maximum allowable exterior noise level. SoundPLANTM noise modeling software is used to predict project-related noise impacts at each of the sensitive receptor locations during daytime and nighttime hours. The predicted noise levels are then compared to the City’s noise standards to determine whether the project will result in a significant impact.
This analysis considers all project noise sources operating simultaneously during daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and nighttime hours (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.).
Daytime Stationary Source Noise Impacts
Noise levels generated by the project are not expected to exceed the City’s daytime noise standards at any of the sensitive receptor locations. The daytime residential noise standard is established to be 55 dBA Leq.
The results of the daytime noise impact analysis are shown in Table 10 and are graphically illustrated in Exhibits D and E. SoundPLAN calculation worksheets are provided in Appendix C.

6.2 Traffic Noise Impacts
The project is not expected to cause a substantial increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the site as a result of increased traffic volumes along adjacent roadways.
Typically, it takes a doubling of traffic volume along a roadway to cause a significant increase in ambient noise levels of more than 3 dBA.
The project is expected to generate a total of approximately 1,720 average daily trips (ADT), of which 430 are considered pass-by trips (i.e., existing traffic already on the road)4 .
Per the City’s General Plan Mobility Element, both Paseo de Valencia and Alicia Parkway are classified as major arterial roadways, which can accommodate between 30,000 and 45,000 vehicle trips per day. Hence, the amount of traffic generated by the project will not double the amount of traffic along Paseo de Valencia or Alicia Parkway, either directly or cumulatively, and therefore the increase in roadway noise levels as a result of the project will be less than significant.
6.3 Construction Noise and Vibration Impacts
The project is not expected to cause a substantial temporary increase in noise levels, excessive groundborne vibration, or excessive groundborne noise levels during construction. Per the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Code Section 5-24.070 – Special Provisions, noise sources associated with construction, repair, remodeling, or grading of any real property shall be exempted from the City’s established noise standards, provided said activities do not take place between the hours of eight p.m. and seven a.m. on weekdays, eight p.m. and eight a.m. on Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a federal holiday.
To ensure compliance with the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Code and to reduce potential noise and vibration impacts, several design features will be implemented during construction, as described in Section 6.5 of this report. By implementing the recommended design features, the project’s temporary noise and vibration impacts can be presumed to be less than significant without the need for further analysis. 4 ADT volumes are referenced from the Alicia Town Center Ralph’s Fuel Center REVISED Traffic Impact Analysis Scoping Agreement, RK Engineering Group, May 2023.

6.4 Airport Noise Compatibility
The John Wayne Airport, located in Santa Ana, California, is the nearest airport to the proposed project site at a distance of approximately 11 miles. The project site is not located within the vicinity of the John Wayne Airport or any others’ private airstrip or airport land use plan, nor is it within two miles of a public or private use airport. Therefore, the project will have no impact on airport-adjacent land uses.
6.5 Project Design Features
The following recommendations are provided to help ensure the proposed project meets the City of Laguna Hills and State of California requirements for residential exterior noise exposure:
Operational Design Features
DF-1 Rooftop mounted HVAC equipment will be shielded from the line of sight of adjacent properties behind rooftop parapet walls.
Construction Design Features
DF-2 The project shall comply with City of Laguna Hills Municipal Code requirements. All construction will occur only during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays. No construction will occur on Sundays or federal holidays.
DF-3 All construction equipment shall be equipped with mufflers and other suitable noise attenuation devices (e.g., engine shields).

General Plan Noise Element and
Municipal Code Chapter 5-24 – Noise Control
Introduction
Noise is unwanted sound that interferes with
living, working, and enjoying daily life. Exposure
to excessive noise can affect general well-being and
contributes to annoyance and undue stress. The
Noise Element is intended to reduce unwanted
sounds for the health, safety, and welfare of the
community. Removing or reducing significant
sources of noise where feasible will improve the
quality of life for Laguna Hills residents, workers,
and visitors.
Purpose and Scope
of the Noise Element
The purpose of the Noise Element is to identify and
assess existing noise sources in the community, and
to discuss the City’s role in ensuring comfortable
and safe noise levels in the future. As a part
of the General Plan process, citizens and City
officials identified goals for the future relating to
balancing land uses in the City, in part to minimize
incompatibilities and exposure to excessive noise
Noise
while providing the range of uses needed to maintain
a high quality of life. The goals, policies, and
programs will assist in achieving noise compatibility
between land uses.
The State of California recognizes the relationship
between noise and noise sensitive uses and has
adopted guidelines for noise elements that have been
followed in the preparation of this Element.
Background
Laguna Hill is located in an urbanized and developed
area and is subject to numerous noise sources,
primarily vehicular traffic on major roadways. The
City is also subject to typical urban noise sources
such as construction, police and fire department
sirens, landscaping equipment, barking dogs, and car
alarms.
Major noise sources in the City include traffic on
Interstate 5 (I‑5), State Route 73 (SR‑73), and
major arterials throughout the City. Truck traffic
is prevalent on these roadways and generates higher
noise levels relative to other vehicle types that travel
City of Laguna Hills General Plan Noise
N-2
on local roadways. Train traffic on the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) rail line, which runs parallel to I-5, is another source of noise in the City. The AT&SF rail line traffic includes daily passenger (Amtrak), transit (Metrolink), and freight service. The nearest airport is John Wayne International Airport, approximately 10 miles northwest of Laguna Hills. The distance from the airport results in no noise impact from aircraft overflight.
The City has land uses that are sensitive to noise and may be significantly affected by interference from noise. Noise sensitive land uses include residences, schools, churches, hospitals, convalescent (nursing) homes, hotels, and certain parks. Excessive noise exposure to human receptors can cause adverse physical and psychological responses, in addition to interfering with speech and concentration, and diminishing the quality of life.
In addition to humans, protected animal species and their habitats may be considered sensitive receptors if located near construction and operational noise sources, especially during the species’ breeding seasons.
The City of Laguna Hills is located within a region where there is the potential habitat for noise sensitive bird species, such as the coastal California gnatcatcher and least Bell’s vireo, that nest or forage in upland scrub vegetation.
Effects of Noise on People
The effects of noise on people can include general annoyance, interference with speech communication, sleep disturbance, and in the extreme, hearing impairment or loss. While physical damage to the ear from an intense noise is rare, degradation of auditory acuity can occur within a community noise environment. Hearing loss occurs mainly due to chronic exposure to excessive noise, but it may be due to a single event such as an explosion. Table N-1 provides typical instantaneous noise levels of common activities.
Noise is generally defined as unwanted
sound. Its effects can range from
annoyance to health problems.

These are typical noise levels. Distance from the source will reduce the noise level. A 10 dB increase doubles perceived loudness. Continued exposure to noise above 85 dB can cause hearing loss. A single exposure to 140 dB noise can cause some hearing loss.
Noise Plan
As Laguna Hills and surrounding communities continue to grow, noise levels associated with transportation‑ and nontransportation-related noise continue to increase. The City seeks ways to safeguard the community from excessive noise as the ambient noise level in the community rises.
The goals, policies, and the Plan in this section describe the means to reduce the negative effects of noise in the City. Programs addressing noise, contained in the Implementation Program section of the General Plan, are an extension of the Noise Plan and contain specific actions that the City uses to protect the community from excessive noise.
Noise Measurement
Evaluating noise is complex. Noise levels are measured as decibels (dB) on a logarithmic scale that quantifies sound intensity in a manner similar to the Richter scale used for earthquake magnitudes. Thus, doubling the energy of a noise source (e.g., traffic volume) would not double the noise level.
The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies within the sound spectrum. The most common method to characterize sound is the “A‑weighted” sound level, or dB(A), which filters out noise frequencies not audible to the human ear, thereby weighting the audible frequencies.
Therefore, the dBA is used for noise measurements and standards involving the human perception of noise.
City of Laguna Hills General Plan Noise
N-4
In addition to instantaneous noise levels, noise levels measured over a period of time are used to assess noise limits and impacts. Noise levels measured over 1 hour are usually expressed as dBA Leq, the equivalent 1-hour noise level. Time of day is also an important factor for noise assessment; noise levels that may be acceptable during the day may interfere with the ability to sleep during evening or nighttime hours. Therefore, 24-hour noise levels are used. The community noise equivalent level (CNEL) is the cumulative noise exposure in a community during a 24‑hour period, which adds 5 dB(A) to evening sound levels (between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.), and 10 dB(A) to the nighttime sound levels (between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.). The day/ night average sound level (Ldn) is the same as the CNEL, except the 3-hour evening period is considered part of the daytime period.
In addition to noise measurement, traffic noise levels for freeways and arterials can be modeled using a traffic noise model with traffic volumes, mix, and speed characteristics.
Noise and Land Use Planning
Accumulation of noise from transportation and nontransportation sources determine the overall noise environment within a community.
Transportation noise refers to noise from automobile use, trucking, airport operations and rail operations. Nontransportation noise typically refers to noise from stationary sources such as commercial establishments, machinery, air conditioning systems, compressors, and landscape maintenance equipment.
Regardless of the type of noise, noise levels are highest near the source and substantially decrease with distance. Most noise impacts can be avoided when noise sources, sensitive land uses, and information about the future noise environment are considered in land use planning and development decisions. Land uses that generate significant noise should be separated from uses that are particularly sensitive to noise.
To establish the compatibility of various land uses with exterior noise levels, the City uses CNEL in its planning guidelines. CNEL takes into account heightened sensitivity of persons to noise during evening and nighttime periods.
Figure N-1 illustrates Laguna Hills’ land use compatibility guidelines.
Noise levels can be estimated and represented as noise contour lines, which indicate the area subject to a particular noise level. Figures N-2 and N-3 show the estimated existing and projected future noise contours in Laguna Hills, based on traffic volume counts and projected 2030 traffic volumes on the City’s arterials.

Guidelines
City of Laguna Hills General Plan Noise
N-6
The noise contours are used as a guide for land use and development decisions. Land uses within contours of 60 dB(A) or greater may be noise impacted depending on the use. When noise sensitive land uses are proposed within these contours, an acoustical analysis may be required. For a project to be approved in a noise impacted area, the analysis must demonstrate that the project is designed to attenuate noise to meet the City’s noise standards as defined in Table N-1. If the project is not designed to meet the noise standards, mitigation measures can be recommended in the analysis. If the analysis demonstrates that the noise standards can be met with implementation of the mitigation measures, the project can be approved with the mitigation measures required as conditions of project approval.
Noise Standards
Table N-2 summarizes the City of Laguna Hills exterior and interior noise standards. The standards represent the maximum acceptable noise levels as measured from any residential property in the City. Accordingly, it is unlawful to cause the noise level on any residential property to exceed the exterior noise standards:
1. for a cumulative period of more than 30 minutes in any hour;
2. plus 5 dB(A) for a cumulative period of more than 15 minutes in any hour;
3. plus 10 dB(A) for a cumulative period of more than 5 minutes in any hour;
4. plus 15 dB(A) for a cumulative period of more than 1 minute in any hour; or
5. plus 20 dB(A) for any period of time.
In addition, it is unlawful to cause the noise level on any residential property to exceed the interior noise standards (see Table N-2):
1. for a cumulative period of more than 5 minutes in any hour;
2. plus 5 dB(A) for a cumulative period of more than 1 minute in any hour; or
3. plus 10 dB(A) for any period of time.
