4.0 PROPOSED CONDITIONS:
The proposed development will consist of 169 for sale single family residential units (55 detached condos and 114 attached townhome units) and 77 for rent units (3 apartment buildings); for a total of 246 dwelling units. Proposed associated drive aisles, parking and flatwork will increase the overall impervious area compared to the existing condition of the site.
The proposed site’s stormwater runoff will be conveyed by roof downspouts or street surface flow to proposed gutters and collected by thru-curb inlet biofiltration devices or catch basin inlets for water quality treatment. The biofiltration devices include an internal overflow bypass that direct flows via an onsite underground storm drain system to an underground detention system located under parking areas at the southwest portion of the site. From the detention system, a stormwater sump pump located in the southwest corner of the site will outlet flows into the existing 18” storm drain pipe at the southwest corner of the site, which conveys stormwater runoff to the JFTB property located directly west of the site. The detention system and pump will be sized so that the outlet flows from the developed site will be equal to, or less than, existing conditions for all storm events. In the event the stormwater pump fails or the outlet pipe becomes clogged, the emergency overflow for the site will be conveyed through a parkway drain discharging flow onto Lampson Avenue, matching historical drainage patterns.
Proposed pad elevations for the onsite buildings shall be set a minimum 1’ above the 100-year water surface elevation in accordance with Orange County Flood Protection requirements.
A proposed 10’ wide dedication area along the northern the property line is proposed to support the adjacent park. The 10’ wide dedication area is outside the proposed residential development and does not flow to the site’s proposed storm drain system. Existing conditions show that this area of site currently drains in the northerly direction.
Alternative Drainage System Outlets to Lampson Avenue:
There currently is no existing cross lot drainage arrangement between the JFTB and the subject property allowing for the proposed development’s flows to outlet onto the JFTB. The JFTB controls all improvements on their property. If, for whatever reason, proposed flows from the project are not allowed to outlet to the JFTB, then the emergency overflow parkway drain will be utilized as the 3
primary discharge location. Placement of the proposed parkway drain is near the existing overflow location as described within the Section 3.0 Existing Conditions of this study, therefore closely matches the existing conditions.
A proposed stormwater pump system with upstream detention storage has been incorporated into the onsite drainage design to provide onsite peak flow and volume minimization for the development for all storm events. The pump system will control the outflow discharge rate matching the existing 2- year peak flow at approximately 8.9 cfs. The pump system along with upstream detention will ensure stormwater inundation within Lampson Avenue is minimized and no additional impact is anticipated whether the discharge location is to the existing JFTB 18” CMP storm drain pipe or the proposed park drain on Lampson Avenue.
Approaches to Drainage System Outlets Deemed Infeasible:
As part of this preliminary hydrology study, the following drainage designs with different outlet locations each of which were found to be infeasible upon closer review:
1. Construct storm drain pipe in Lampson Avenue to west:
The proposed installation of approximately 2,400 linear feet (LF) of 30” underground gravityfed storm drain pipe in Lampson Avenue to directly connect to closest downstream existing 36” storm drain pipe (north of Guava Avenue extended) was found to be infeasible due to conflicts with existing utilities; including existing 16” water, 8” sewer, and 34” gas mains. Installing 2,400 LF of force main, as opposed to gravity main, may also create long-term maintenance concerns. In addition, the installation of 2,400 LF of force main is not desirable due to head losses created by such a long length of pipe.
Refer to the exhibits in Appendix D.3.
2. Construct storm drain pipe under Heather Street, Hazelnut Avenue, and Guava Avenue to south and west:
Since there is no existing underground storm drain to connect within Heather Street or Hazelnut Avenue, a new storm drain pipe would need to be extended 3,000 LF through these streets to connect to the existing 36” storm drain pipe in Guava Avenue. The existing storm drain system is undersized according to the City of Seal Beach Master Plan of Drainage Update dated August 2008. Future City of Seal Beach capital improvements to the downstream storm drain system are recommended in the Master Plan of Drainage Update at this location (CPE 1A and CPE 1B as shown on Figure 1-3 in Appendix D.2), but there is no current timeline to install any capital improvements. Without the capital improvements in place, redirecting stormwater runoff flows from the site to the currently undersized storm drain system in Guava Avenue is infeasible since it would exacerbate the existing flooding condition at this location adjacent to single family homes.
Refer to the exhibits in Appendix D.2 and D.3.
3. Outlet Runoff to Arbor Park to North:
Arbor Park is within the JFTB property and drains south to the same earthen channel outlet as the project site. If the proposed flows from the project are not allowed to outlet to the JFTB at the southwest corner of the site, proposed flows from the project would not be allowed to outlet to the JFTB to the north of the site either since they are essentially the same outlet location. In addition, the existing site does not flow in the northerly Arbor Park/ JFTB area as the site drains in the southwesterly direction, therefore directing stormwater runoff to the north would change the historic drainage pattern which can potentially cause downstream flooding. 4
4. Outlet Runoff to Golf Course to East:
The golf course to the east of the site is within the JFTB property and drains east, ultimately to the Bolsa Chica Channel. Discharging to the east does not match the historical drainage pattern and the Bolsa Chica Channel was not designed to accommodate flows from the site, therefore potentially cause downstream flooding. In addition, the golf course and Bolsa Chica Channel are upstream from the site, therefore not feasible due to elevation differences.
5. Construct storm drain pipe in Lampson Avenue to East:
Discharging to the east does not match the historical drainage pattern and the Bolsa Chica Channel was not designed to accommodate flows from the site. Additionally, installation of underground storm drain pipe within Lampson Avenue is infeasible for same reasons as noted in #1 above. Similarly to item #4, changing the historical drainage pattern may potentially cause unforeseen drainage impacts.
Refer to the Proposed Conditions Hydrology Map located in Appendix A.2. 5
5.0 METHODOLOGY:
The existing/proposed subarea was analyzed for acreage, land-use, soil type, peak flow rate, and time of concentration according to the Rational Method.
Recommended perviousness values are based on existing and proposed land use.
Proposed conditions were analyzed using the rational method to determine the detention volume.
Rational Method Analysis identify offsite 25-year storm event flow allowed to prevent flooding of one travel lane of the half-street per Orange County Public Works Flood Local Drainage Manual.

Catch Basin Sizing
Catch basin Sizing will be analyzed for the 100-year storm event peak flow and provided during final engineering.
Pipe Sizing
Onsite underground storm drain pipe will be analyzed for the 100-year storm event peak flow rate utilizing WSPG software and provided during final engineering. 100-Year Water Surface Ponding Exhibit/ Calculations
Water surface elevations for the 100-year storm event peak flow rates will verify that the proposed building pad elevations are a minimum 1’ above the water surface elevation. A ponding exhibit will be prepared based on the 100-year water surface elevation tributary to each subarea during final engineering.
Detention Calculations
Due to increased peak runoff flows created from the proposed change in land use and increased impervious coverage of the proposed development, stormwater will need to be detained to minimize and ultimately match existing conditions. A 24-hour inflow hydrograph and detention basin routing was analyzed to determine the amount of increased volume runoff to be minimized based on existing vs. proposed flows. However, the existing outlet pipe with headwall limits flow from the site similar to an orifice. Based on the maximum flows conveyed by the outlet pipe based on analyzing the pipe as an orifice, it appears the existing flows may overflow into Lampson Ave (Refer to Appendix C.2 for orifice calculations). To prevent overflow into Lampson Ave, the detention system shall be sized to match the maximum flows conveyed by the outlet pipe.
In addition, a proposed stormwater pump system with upstream detention storage has been incorporated into the onsite drainage design to provide onsite peak flow and volume minimization for the development for all storm events. The pump system will control the outflow discharge rate matching the existing 2-year peak flow at approximately 8.9 cfs. Refer to Appendix C.3 for detention calculations.
Lampson Avenue Street Capacity
An offsite street capacity analysis was performed for Lampson Avenue to determine the tributary area and corresponding peak flows. This information was utilized to determine the existing development is responsible of potential flooding of Lampson Avenue during larger storm events. Two (2) areas were analyzed; Section A-A is located near the southwest corner of the site and Section B-B at the existing low-point sump catch basin approximately 2,100 LF from the site near the Old Ranch Country Club.
Both street capacity analysis indicate that the 100-year water surface elevation is held within the street and less than the existing top of curb elevations.
Refer to Appendix A.3 Offsite Existing Conditions Hydrology Map and Appendix C.5 for street capacity calculations.

7.0 CONCLUSION:
The results from this preliminary hydrology study demonstrate that the proposed condition of the project site will generate a higher peak runoff flowrate than the existing condition of the site due to an increase in impervious area and change in land use. The proposed detention facilities will be designed to detain at the flows and times indicated by the produced hydrographs in Appendix C.1.
Detained volumes will be discharged from the site via a pump system at flow rates that do not exceed the existing condition flow rates. Downstream facilities will not be hydrologically impacted by the proposed project site improvements. Existing historic drainage patterns will be maintained without causing the potential increase of tributary flooding. Proposed discharges from the development will not exceed the existing peak flow rates as described with the proposed conditions and alternative drainage system scenario.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Web Soil Survey URL:
Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Orange County and Part of Riverside County, California
Survey Area Data: Version 17, Aug 30, 2023
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales 1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Apr 14, 2022—Apr 23, 2022
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were compiled and digitized probably differs from the background imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Urban Crossroads, Inc. has prepared this noise study to evaluate potential noise associated with proposed development at 4665 Lampson Avenue (“Project”) in the City of Los Alamitos. The Project is proposed to include the development of 55 single family detached residential dwelling units (cluster homes), 114 multifamily (low-rise) residential dwelling units, and 77 affordable apartment dwelling units (total of 246 dwelling units) and demolition of the existing 88,000 square foot commercial office building. This study has been prepared to evaluate the Project’s potential noise impacts in light of the thresholds of significance identified in Appendix G of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. (1)
ON-SITE TRAFFIC NOISE ANALYSIS
An on-site exterior and interior noise impact analysis has been completed to determine the traffic-related noise levels and to identify potential necessary abatement measures for the proposed Project. It is expected that the primary source of traffic-related noise impacts to the Project site will be from Lampson Avenue.
EXTERIOR TRAFFIC NOISE ANALYSIS
The on-site traffic noise level impacts indicate that noise levels at the Project buildings adjacent to Lampson Avenue would experience exterior noise levels ranging from 64.6 to 72.8 dBA CNEL.
Therefore, to reduce noise levels to 65 dBA CNEL or less in compliance with the City of Los Alamitos exterior noise level noise and land use compatibility policies, the Project would include Noise 1 in the Project design and construct a seven (7) foot-high noise barrier along Lampson Avenue, shown in Exhibit ES-A. With the barrier, exterior noise levels will range from 58.3 to
63.8 dBA CNEL at backyards of residential units and common outdoor activity areas of multifamily residential units. This noise analysis shows that with the proposed noise barrier the Project will satisfy the City of Los Alamitos 65 dBA CNEL normally acceptable exterior noise level standards for residential land uses. The identified noise barrier heights represent the minimum wall and/or berm combination height required to satisfy the City of Los Alamitos exterior noise level standards.
Noise 1 The Project will construct a 7-foot-high noise barrier along Lampson Avenue, as shown in Exhibit ES-A. The noise control barrier will be constructed so that the top of each wall and /or berm combination extends to the planned height above the pad elevation of the lot it is shielding. When the roadway or terrain is elevated above the pad elevation, the barrier shall extend to the recommended height above the highest point between the residential home and the roadway. The barrier shall be built with a material surface weight of at least 4 pounds per square foot, with no decorative cutouts, perforations, or line-of-sight openings between residences and Lampson Avenue. (2) The noise barrier shall be constructed using the following materials:

4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
3 masonry block;
stucco veneer over wood framing (or foam core), or 1-inch-thick tongue and groove wood of sufficient weight per square foot;
glass (1/4-inch-thick),
material with sufficient weight per square foot capable of providing a minimum transmission loss of 20 dBA;
earthen berm; or,
any combination of these construction materials.
INTERIOR TRAFFIC NOISE ABATEMENT
Typical building construction will provide a Noise Reduction (NR) of approximately 12 dBA with "windows open" and a minimum 25 dBA noise reduction with "windows closed." (3) (4) The Project will provide mechanical ventilation (e.g. air conditioning) for all units which would allow a windows-closed condition. Based on predicted exterior noise levels, to satisfy the State of California and the City of Los Alamitos 45 dBA CNEL interior noise level criteria, first-floor units are being designed to meet a Noise Reduction (NR) of 20.3 dBA at first floors and 26.3 dBA at second floors for units adjacent to Lampson Avenue. Therefore, the Project will provide second floor units with windows that have an STC rating of 29. The Project includes the following Project design feature:
Noise: 2 To comply with the State of California and City of Los Alamitos 45 dBA CNEL interior noise standards for residential land use the Project will provide the following or equivalent noise abatement measures on building plans:
Windows & Glass Doors: At a minimum the Project will provide windows and glass doors that are well-fitted, well-weather-stripped assemblies with minimum sound transmission class (STC) ratings of 27. Additionally, all second floor facades adjacent to Lampson Avenue will be provided windows and glass doors that are well-fitted, well-weather-stripped assemblies with minimum sound transmission class (STC) ratings of 29.
Doors (Non-Glass): All exterior doors shall be well weather-stripped and have. Wellsealed perimeter gaps around the doors are essential to achieve the optimal STC rating. (5)
Walls: At any penetrations of exterior walls by pipes, ducts, or conduits, the space between the wall and pipes, ducts, or conduits shall be caulked or filled with mortar to form an airtight seal.
Roof: Roof sheathing of wood construction shall be per manufacturer’s specification or caulked plywood of at least one-half inch thick. Ceilings shall be per manufacturer’s specification or well-sealed gypsum board of at least one-half inch thick. Insulation with at least a rating of R-19 shall be used in the attic space. Ventilation: Arrangements for any habitable room shall be such that any exterior door or window can be kept closed when the room is in use and still receive circulated air. A forced air circulation system (e.g. air conditioning) or active ventilation system
4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
4 (e.g. fresh air supply) shall be provided which satisfies the requirements of the Uniform Building Code.
OFF-SITE TRAFFIC NOISE ANALYSIS
Traffic generated by the operation of the proposed Project will influence the traffic noise levels in surrounding off-site areas. To quantify the traffic noise increases on the surrounding off-site areas, the changes in traffic noise levels on sixteen roadway segments surrounding the Project site were calculated based on the change in the average daily traffic (ADT) volumes. The traffic noise levels provided in this analysis are based on the traffic forecasts found in 4665 Lampson Avenue Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Urban Crossroads, Inc. (6) To assess the off-site noise level impacts associated with the proposed Project, noise level contour boundaries were developed for Existing 2023, Opening Year 2026 (OY 2026), and General Plan Buildout 2045(GBPO 2045) without and with Project traffic conditions. Land uses along roadway segments analyzed would experience Project related traffic noise level increases of up to 1.0 dBA CNEL. Therefore, the analysis shows that the Project-related traffic noise level increases under all scenarios would be less than significant.
OPERATIONAL NOISE ANALYSIS
The Project would include specific type of operational noise attributable to the Project, including roof-top and ground-mounted air conditioning units, parking lot vehicle movements, outdoor activity, and trash enclosure activities. Project operational noise levels during the daytime hours at off-site receiver locations are expected to range from 20.4 to 46.9 dBA Leq. Project operational noise levels during the nighttime hours at off-site receiver locations are expected to range from
16.8 to 43.7 dBA Leq. Project operational noise levels will satisfy Section 17.20.050 of the City of Los Alamitos Municipal Code daytime and nighttime noise standards of 55 dBA and 50 dBA Leq, respectively, at all residential receivers. Therefore, potential operational noise impacts for the residential land use are anticipated to result in less than significant impacts.
CONSTRUCTION NOISE ANALYSIS
Construction noise levels are expected to create temporary and intermittent high-level noise conditions at receivers surrounding the Project site when certain activities occur at the closest point to the nearby receiver locations from the edge of primary Project construction activity.
Using sample reference noise levels to represent the construction activities at the Project site, this analysis estimates the Project-related construction noise levels at nearby sensitive receiver locations. The results of the analysis show the highest construction noise levels at the potentially impacted receiver locations are expected to approach 63.2 dBA Leq.
The Project related construction equipment noise levels are anticipated to satisfy the FTA construction noise level standards of 80 dBA Leq for mobile equipment during typical Project construction activities at all receiver locations. Additionally, construction activities are planned to typically occur between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and would comply with the City of Los Alamitos limitation on allowable hours of construction per Section 17.20.020. Therefore, based
4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
5 on the results of this analysis, all nearby sensitive receiver locations will experience less than significant impacts due to Project construction noise levels.
CONSTRUCTION VIBRATION ANALYSIS
Construction activity can result in varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the equipment and methods used, distance to the affected structures and soil type. It is expected that ground-borne vibration from Project construction activities would cause only intermittent, localized intrusion. Ground-borne vibration levels resulting from typical construction activities occurring within the Project site were estimated by data published by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). At the nearest receivers Project construction vibration velocity levels are estimated to range from less than 0.00 to 0.02 in/sec PPV. Based on maximum acceptable continuous vibration threshold of 0.3 PPV (in/sec), the typical Project construction vibration levels will not exceed the City of Los Alamitos thresholds at properties located adjacent to the Project site. Therefore, vibration impacts due to Project construction activities would be less than significant.
AIRCRAFT NOISE ABATEMENT
Based on a review of noise level contours for the Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB) Los Alamitos, a portion of the proposed residential uses would be located within the conditionally consistent 60-65 dBA noise contour under projected conditions. As discussed under the on-site traffic noise traffic noise analysis, typical modern residential construction can achieve a noise level reduction of 25 dBA with windows closed. Thus, with the Project design feature Noise-1, a windows closed condition is evaluated, which indicates maximum interior noise levels would range from 35 to 40 dBA CNEL from aircraft noise exposure. As discussed, in the following analysis, exposure of exterior use areas to noise levels in excess of 70 dBA CNEL would be considered significant, and exposure of residential land uses to noise levels in excess of 65 dBA CNEL would be significant unless noise levels in interior habitable rooms are reduced to 45 dBA CNEL. Therefore, the Project would not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive interior noise levels from airport or aircraft operations, and impacts would be less than significant.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANCE FINDINGS
The results of 4665 Lampson Avenue Noise Impact Analysis are summarized below based on the significance criteria in Section 4 of this report consistent with Appendix G of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. (7). Table ES-1 shows the findings of significance for each potential noise and/or vibration impact under CEQA before and after any required mitigation measures.

7 1 INTRODUCTION
This noise analysis has been completed to evaluate the noise impacts associated with the development of the proposed 4665 Lampson Avenue project (“Project”). This noise study describes the Project, provides information regarding noise and vibration fundamentals, outlines the local regulatory setting, provides the study methods and procedures for performing noise analysis, evaluates potential noise impacts from the project, and identifies mitigation measures to reduce impacts, as necessary.
1.1 SITE LOCATION
The proposed Project is located at 4665 Lampson Avenue in the City of Los Alamitos. The Project’s location in relation to the surrounding area is shown on Exhibit 1-A. The surrounding land use designations are Residential to the south, JFTB Los Alamitos to the north, the Navy Golf Course to the east, and Arbor Park (Community Facilities) to the west. Interstate 405 (I-405) is located approximately 0.48 miles south of the Project site.
1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project consists of the development of 55 single family detached residential dwelling units (cluster homes), 114 multifamily (low-rise) residential dwelling units, and 77 affordable apartment dwelling units (total of 246 dwelling units). A preliminary site plan for the proposed Project is shown on Exhibit 1-B. The site is currently occupied by a two-story, 88,000 square foot commercial office building and parking lot. Access to the Project site will be accommodated to Lampson Avenue via two proposed driveways. The Project is anticipated to generate an increase of 1,658 two-way trip-ends per day with 112 AM peak hour trips and 147 PM peak hour trips.
The Project is anticipated to have an opening year of 2026.

11 2 FUNDAMENTALS
Noise has been simply defined as “unwanted sound.” Sound becomes unwanted when it interferes with normal activities, when it causes actual physical harm or when it has adverse effects on health. Noise is measured on a logarithmic scale of sound pressure level known as a decibel (dB). A-weighted decibels (dBA) approximate the subjective response of the human ear to broad frequency noise source by discriminating against very low and very high frequencies of the audible spectrum. They are adjusted to reflect only those frequencies which are audible to the human ear. Exhibit 2-A presents a summary of the typical noise levels and their subjective loudness and effects that are described in more detail below.
EXHIBIT 2-A: TYPICAL NOISE LEVELS
Source: Environmental Protection Agency Office of Noise Abatement and Control, Information on Levels of Environmental Noise Requisite to Protect Public Health and Welfare with an Adequate Margin of Safety (EPA/ONAC 550/9-74-004) March 1974.
2.1 RANGE OF NOISE
Since the range of intensities that the human ear can detect is so large, the scale frequently used to measure intensity is a scale based on multiples of 10, the logarithmic scale. The scale for measuring intensity is the decibel scale. Human perception of noise has no simple correlation with acoustical energy. The perception of noise is not linear in terms of dBA or in terms of acoustical energy. Two equivalent noise sources result in a 3 dBA increase. However, it is widely accepted that the average healthy ear can barely perceive changes of 3 dBA, increase or decrease; that a change of 5 dBA is readily perceptible; and that an increase (decrease) of 10 dBA
4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
12 sounds twice (half) as loud (Caltrans 2009). The most common sounds vary between 40 dBA (very quiet) to 100 dBA (very loud). Normal conversation at three feet is roughly at 60 dBA, while loud jet engine noises equate to 110 dBA at approximately 100 feet, which can cause serious discomfort. (8) Another important aspect of noise is the duration of the sound and the way it is described and distributed in time.
2.2 NOISE DESCRIPTORS
Environmental noise descriptors are generally based on averages, rather than instantaneous, noise levels. The most commonly used figure is the equivalent level (Leq). Equivalent sound levels are not measured directly but are calculated from sound pressure levels typically measured in Aweighted decibels (dBA). The equivalent sound level (Leq) represents a steady state sound level containing the same total energy as a time varying signal over a given sample period and is commonly used to describe the “average” noise levels within the environment.
To describe the time-varying character of environmental noise, the statistical or percentile noise descriptors L50, L25, L8 and L2, are commonly used. The percentile noise descriptors are the noise levels equaled or exceeded during 50 percent, 25 percent, 8 percent, and 2 percent of a stated time. Sound levels associated with the L2 and L8 typically describe transient or short-term events, while levels associated with the L50 describe the steady state (or median) noise conditions. While the L50 describes the median noise levels occurring 50 percent of the time, the Leq accounts for the total energy (average) observed for the entire hour. Therefore, the Leq noise descriptor is generally 1-2 dBA higher than the L50 noise level.
Peak hour or average noise levels, while useful, do not completely describe a given noise environment. Noise levels lower than peak hour may be disturbing if they occur during times when quiet is most desirable, namely evening and nighttime (sleeping) hours. To account for this, the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL), representing a composite 24-hour noise level is utilized. The CNEL is the weighted average of the intensity of a sound, with corrections for time of day, and averaged over 24 hours. The time-of-day corrections require the addition of 5 decibels to dBA Leq sound levels in the evening from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and the addition of 10 decibels to dBA Leq sound levels at night between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. These additions are made to account for the noise sensitive time periods during the evening and night hours when sound appears louder. CNEL does not represent the actual sound level heard at any time, but rather represents the total sound exposure. The City of Los Alamitos relies on the 24-hour CNEL level to assess land use compatibility with transportation related noise sources.
Sound levels used for compliance modeling, sound level limitations on equipment, and product labeling use another descriptor, are known as the sound power level (Lw). Sound power is the rate at which sound energy is emitted from a source per unit time. Knowing the sound power level of a device allows for the objective comparison of the sound output of different devices, without any knowledge of the environment in which they were tested or the distance at which measurements were taken. This makes sound power levels ideal for verifying compliance with property line noise level limits.

13 2.3 SOUND PROPAGATION
When sound propagates over a distance, it changes in level and frequency content. The way noise reduces with distance depends on the following factors.
2.3.1 GEOMETRIC SPREADING
Sound from a localized source (i.e., a stationary point source) propagates uniformly outward in a spherical pattern. The sound level attenuates (or decreases) at a rate of 6 dB for each doubling of distance from a point source. Highways consist of several localized noise sources on a defined path and hence can be treated as a line source, which approximates the effect of several point sources. Noise from a line source propagates outward in a cylindrical pattern, often referred to as cylindrical spreading. Sound levels attenuate at a rate of 3 dB for each doubling of distance from a line source. (9)
2.3.2 GROUND ABSORPTION
The propagation path of noise from a highway to a receptor is usually very close to the ground.
Noise attenuation from ground absorption and reflective wave canceling adds to the attenuation associated with geometric spreading. Traditionally, the excess attenuation has also been expressed in terms of attenuation per doubling of distance. This approximation is usually sufficiently accurate for distances of less than 200 ft. For acoustically hard sites (i.e., sites with a reflective surface between the source and the receptor, such as a parking lot or body of water), no excess ground attenuation is assumed. For acoustically absorptive or soft sites (i.e., those sites with an absorptive ground surface between the source and the receptor such as soft dirt, grass, or scattered bushes and trees), an excess ground attenuation value of 1.5 dB per doubling of distance is normally assumed. When added to the cylindrical spreading, the excess ground attenuation results in an overall drop-off rate of 4.5 dB per doubling of distance from a line source. (3)
2.3.3 ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTS
Receptors located downwind from a source can be exposed to increased noise levels relative to calm conditions, whereas locations upwind can have lowered noise levels. Sound levels can be increased at large distances (e.g., more than 500 feet) due to atmospheric temperature inversion (i.e., increasing temperature with elevation). Other factors such as air temperature, humidity, and turbulence can also have significant effects. (9)
2.3.4 SHIELDING
A large object or barrier in the path between a noise source and a receptor can substantially attenuate noise levels at the receptor. The amount of attenuation provided by shielding depends on the size of the object and the frequency content of the noise source. Shielding by trees and other such vegetation typically only has an “out of sight, out of mind” effect. That is, the perception of noise impact tends to decrease when vegetation blocks the line-of-sight to nearby resident. However, for vegetation to provide a substantial, or even noticeable, noise reduction, the vegetation area must be at least 15 feet in height, 100 feet wide and dense enough to
4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
14 completely obstruct the line-of sight between the source and the receiver. This size of vegetation may provide up to 5 dBA of noise reduction. The FHWA does not consider the planting of vegetation to be a noise abatement measure. (3)
2.4 NOISE CONTROL
Noise control is the process of obtaining an acceptable noise environment for an observation point or receptor by controlling the noise source, transmission path, receptor, or all three. This concept is known as the source-path-receptor concept. In general, noise control measures can be applied to these three elements.
2.5 NOISE BARRIER ATTENUATION
Effective noise barriers can reduce noise levels by 10 to 15 dBA, cutting the loudness of traffic noise in half. A noise barrier is most effective when placed close to the noise source or receptor.
Noise barriers, however, do have limitations. For a noise barrier to work, it must be high enough and long enough to block the path of the noise source. (3)
2.6 LAND USE COMPATIBILITY WITH NOISE
Some land uses are more tolerant of noise than others. For example, schools, hospitals, churches, and residences are more sensitive to noise intrusion than are commercial or industrial developments and related activities. As ambient noise levels affect the perceived amenity or livability of a development, so too can the mismanagement of noise impacts impair the economic health and growth potential of a community by reducing the area’s desirability as a place to live, shop and work. For this reason, land use compatibility with the noise environment is an important consideration in the planning and design process. The FHWA encourages State and Local government to regulate land development in such a way that noise-sensitive land uses are either prohibited from being located adjacent to a highway, or that the developments are planned, designed, and constructed in such a way that noise impacts are minimized. (10)
2.7 VIBRATION
Per the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual, (7) vibration is the periodic oscillation of a medium or object. The rumbling sound caused by the vibration of room surfaces is called structure-borne noise. Sources of groundborne vibrations include natural phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sea waves, landslides) or human-made causes (e.g., explosions, machinery, traffic, trains, construction equipment). Vibration sources may be continuous, such as factory machinery, or transient, such as explosions. As is the case with airborne sound, ground-borne vibrations may be described by amplitude and frequency.
Additionally, in contrast to airborne noise, ground-borne vibration outdoors is not a common environmental problem and annoyance from ground-borne vibration is almost exclusively an indoor phenomenon. (7) Therefore, the effects of vibrations should only be evaluated at a structure and the effects of the building structure on the vibration should be considered. WoodPage 2417 of 3005 4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
15 frame buildings, such as typical residential structures, are more easily excited by ground vibration than heavier buildings. In contrast, large masonry buildings with spread footings have a low response to ground vibration. (7) In general, the heavier a building is, the lower the response will be to the incident vibration energy. However, all structurers reduce vibration levels due to the coupling of the building to the soil.
There are several different methods that are used to quantify vibration. The peak particle velocity (PPV) is defined as the maximum instantaneous peak of the vibration signal. (7) The PPV is most frequently used to describe vibration impacts to buildings but is not always suitable for evaluating human response (annoyance) because it takes some time for the human body to respond to vibration signals. Instead, the human body responds to average vibration amplitude often described as the root mean square (RMS). The RMS amplitude is defined as the average of the squared amplitude of the signal and is most frequently used to describe the effect of vibration on the human body. (7) However, the RMS amplitude and PPV are related mathematically, and the RMS amplitude of equipment is typically calculated from the PPV reference level. The RMS amplitude is approximately 70% of the PPV (11). Thus, thus either can be used on the description of vibration impacts.
Vibration decibel notation (VdB) is another vibration notation developed and used by the FTA in their guidance manual to describe vibration levels and provide a background of common vibration levels and set vibration limits. (7) Decibel notation (VdB) serves to reduce the range of numbers used to describe vibration levels and is used in this report to describe vibration levels.
As stated in the FTA guidance manual, the background vibration-velocity level in residential areas is generally 50 VdB. Ground-borne vibration is normally perceptible to humans at approximately 65 VdB. For most people, a vibration-velocity level of 75 VdB is the approximate dividing line between barely perceptible and distinctly perceptible levels. (7) Typical outdoor sources of perceptible ground-borne vibration are construction equipment, steel-wheeled trains, and traffic on rough roads. If a roadway is smooth, the ground-borne vibration is rarely perceptible. The range of interest is from approximately 50 VdB, which is the typical background vibration-velocity level, to 100 VdB, which is the general threshold where minor damage can occur in fragile buildings. Exhibit 2-B illustrates common vibration sources and the human and structural response to ground-borne vibration.

17 3 REGULATORY SETTING
To limit population exposure to physically and/or psychologically damaging as well as intrusive noise levels, the federal government, the State of California, various county governments, and most municipalities in the state have established standards and ordinances to control noise. In most areas, automobile and truck traffic is the major source of environmental noise. Traffic activity generally produces an average sound level that remains constant with time. Air and rail traffic, and commercial and industrial activities are also major sources of noise in some areas.
Federal, state, and local agencies regulate different aspects of environmental noise. Federal and state agencies generally set noise standards for mobile sources such as aircraft and motor vehicles, while regulation of stationary sources is left to local agencies.
3.1 STATE OF CALIFORNIA NOISE REQUIREMENTS
The State of California regulates freeway noise, sets standards for sound transmission, provides occupational noise control criteria, identifies noise standards, and provides guidance for local land use compatibility. State law requires that each county and city adopt a General Plan that includes an element that addresses noise issues per guidelines adopted by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. (12) The purpose of this element is to ensure a local planning area limits the exposure of the community to excessive noise levels. State law allows jurisdictions to organize their general plan in any format, including by consolidating elements. Here, noise issues are addressed in the City of Los Alamitos’ Public Facilities and Safety Element of its General Plan.
In addition, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that reasonably foreseeable environmental effects of a project be analyzed, including environmental noise impacts.
3.2 STATE OF CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE
The State of California’s Green Building Standards Code contains mandatory measures for nonresidential building construction in Section 5.507 on Environmental Comfort. (13) These noise standards are applied to new construction in California for controlling interior noise levels resulting from exterior noise sources. The regulations specify that acoustical studies must be prepared when non-residential structures are developed in areas where a general plan or airport plan provide contours that show exterior noise levels exceed 65 dBA CNEL, such as within a noise level contour of an airport, freeway, or railroad; or if contours are unavailable, buildings exposed to a noise level of 65 dBA Leq-1-hr during any hour of operation; shall be constructed to provide an interior noise level environment attributable to exterior sources that does not exceed an hourly equivalent level of 50 dBA Leq in occupied areas during any hour of operation.
3.3 CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS NOISE STANDARDS
The General Plan is a tool for managing noise by planning for and maintaining compatibility between sensitive land uses and noise sources. (14) The City of Los Alamitos has identified two separate types of noise sources: (1) transportation, and (2) stationary. To control transportation related noise sources such as arterial roads, freeways, airports, and railroads, the City of Los Alamitos has established guidelines for acceptable community noise levels in the Public Facilities
4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
18 and Safety Element of the General Plan. Noise from stationary sources is regulated through specific standards in Chapter 17.20 of the Los Alamitos Municipal Code. and Division 6 of the Orange County Municipal Code (Rossmoor). The Public Facilities and Safety Element of the General Plan includes the following Noise Hazards goal and policies:
Goal 4: An environment in which minimized noise contributes to the public's health, safety, and welfare.
Policy 4.1 Land use compatibility. Approve development and require mitigation measures to ensure existing and future land use compatibility as shown in the City’s Noise Ordinance, the Land Use and Noise Compatibility Matrix, the State Interior and Exterior Noise Standards, and the Airport Environs Land Use Plan for the JFTB.
Policy 4.2 New residential. When new residential development is proposed adjacent to land designated for industrial or commercial uses, require the proposed development to assess potential noise impacts and fund feasible noise-related mitigation measures. Policy 4.3 Control sound at the source. Prioritize noise mitigation measures to control sound at the source over buffers, soundwalls, and other perimeter measures. Policy 4.4 Noise impacts. Minimize or eliminate persistent, periodic, or impulsive noise impacts of business operations.
Policy 4.6 Aircraft noise. Work with the JFTB and Long Beach Airport to minimize the noise impact of small aircraft and helicopters on residential neighborhoods.
3.3.1 LAND USE COMPATIBILITY
The noise criteria identified in the City of Los Alamitos Public Facilities and Safety Element (Table 4) are guidelines to evaluate the land use compatibility of transportation-related noise. The compatibility criteria, shown on Exhibit 3-A, provides the City with a planning tool to gauge the compatibility of land uses relative to existing and future exterior noise levels.
The Land Use and Noise Compatibility Matrix describes categories of compatibility and not specific noise standards. The residential land uses of the Project are considered clearly compatible with unmitigated exterior noise levels of less than 60 dBA CNEL and normally compatible with unmitigated exterior noise levels approaching 70 dBA CNEL, new construction or development should be undertaken only after detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements are made and needed noise insulation features in the design are determined.
Conventional construction, with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning, will normally suffice. For normally incompatible exterior noise levels, exceeding 70 dBA CNEL, new construction or development should be discouraged. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements are made and needed noise insulation features must be included in the design.

20 3.3.2 CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS OPERATIONAL NOISE STANDARDS To control transportation-related noise sources such as arterial roads, freeways, airports, and railroads, the City of Los Alamitos has established the standards provided in Table 4 of General Plan Public Facilities and Safety Element for compatible community noise levels.
To analyze noise impacts originating from a designated fixed location or private property such as the Project, stationary-source (operational) noise such as the expected roof-top and groundmounted air conditioning units, parking lot vehicle movements, outdoor activity, and trash enclosure activities are typically evaluated against standards established under a City’s Municipal Code. Table 3-1 summarizes the City of Los Alamitos Municipal Code, Section 17.20.050 exterior noise standards that may be received at nearby land use uses. The City of Los Alamitos noise ordinance is included in Appendix 3.1.
TABLE 3-1: LOS ALAMITOS MUNICIPAL CODE EXTERIOR NOISE STANDARDS Noise District Maximum Noise Level1 Time Period
1 (Residential) day 55 dB(A) 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
1 (Residential) night 50 dB(A) 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
2 (Professional and Institutional) 55 dB(A) Anytime
3 (Commercial) 60 dB(A) Anytime
4 (Industrial) 70 dB(A) Anytime
Notes: The noise levels at the affected property shall not exceed:
-The noise standard for a cumulative period of more than 30 minutes in any hour; or -The noise standard plus 5 dBA for a cumulative period of more than 15 minutes in any hour; or -The noise standard plus 10 dBA for a cumulative period of more than 5 minutes in any hour; or -The noise standard plus 15 dBA for a cumulative period of more than one minute in any hour; or -The noise standard plus 20 dBA for any period of time. 1 Los Alamitos Municipal Code Chapter 17.20.050, Noise. (Appendix 3.1).
3.4 CONSTRUCTION NOISE STANDARDS
To control noise impacts associated with the construction of the Project, noise from construction activities are typically limited to the hours of operation established under a City’s Municipal Code.
The City of Los Alamitos Municipal Code, Section 17.20.020, states that construction activities are exempted from the noise ordinance if it occurs between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturdays. Construction is not allowed at any time on Sundays or Federal holidays. (15) Neither the City’s General Plan nor Municipal Code establish numeric maximum acceptable construction source noise levels at potentially affected receivers for CEQA analysis purposes. Therefore, a numerical construction threshold based on Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual is used for analysis of daytime construction impacts, as discussed below.
According to the FTA, local noise ordinances are typically not very useful in evaluating construction noise. They usually relate to nuisance and hours of allowed activity, and sometimes specify limits in terms of maximum levels, but are generally not practical for assessing the impact of a construction project. Project construction noise criteria should account for the existing noise
4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
21 environment, the absolute noise levels during construction activities, the duration of the construction, and the adjacent land use. Due to the lack of standardized construction noise thresholds, the FTA provides guidelines that can be considered reasonable criteria for construction noise assessment. The FTA considers a daytime exterior construction noise level of 80 dBA Leq as a reasonable threshold for noise sensitive residential land use. (7 p. 179)
3.5 CONSTRUCTION VIBRATION STANDARDS
Construction activity can result in varying degrees of ground-borne vibration, depending on the equipment and methods used, distance to the affected structures and soil type. Construction vibration is generally associated with pile driving and rock blasting. Other construction equipment such as air compressors, light trucks, hydraulic loaders, etc., generates little or no ground vibration. Occasionally large bulldozers and loaded trucks can cause perceptible vibration levels at close proximity.
To analyze vibration impacts originating from the operation and construction of 4665 Lampson Avenue, vibration-generating activities are appropriately evaluated against standards established under a City’s Municipal Code, if such standards exist. However, the City of Los Alamitos does not identify specific vibration level limits. Therefore, for analysis purposes, the Caltrans Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual, (11 p. 38) Table 19, vibration damage are used in this noise study to assess potential temporary construction-related impacts at adjacent building locations.
The construction vibration damage potential criteria include consideration of the building conditions. (8 p. 182) Table 3-2 describes the maximum acceptable transient and continuous vibration building damage potential levels by structure type and condition. The existing buildings adjacent to the Project site can best be described as “older residential structures” with a maximum acceptable continuous vibration threshold of 0.3 PPV (in/sec).

22 3.6 AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY
The JFTB Los Alamitos is located adjacent to, and northwest of the Project site. The Project site is located within the Airport Environs Land Use Plan Airport Planning Area (16).
Exhibit 3-B shows the Project site in relation to the airport’s noise level contour boundaries, as provided by the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) for Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos (16). The AELUP noise level contours are based on a 1987 U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA) assessment that was published in 1994 as part of the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study, Armed Forces Reserve Center Los Alamitos Airfield (17). The 1994 ACUIZ noise level contours were based on 55,000 aircraft operations. The noise level contours shown on Exhibit 3-B are a modified version of the 1994 ACUIZ Noise Level Contours published by the ALUC in 1995. Based on the AELUP noise level contours, shown on Exhibit 3-B, the majority of the Project site sits within the 60 dBA CNEL but outside the 65 dBA CNEL noise level contour boundary of the JFTB Los Alamitos.
Exhibit 3-C shows the Project site in relation to the airport’s noise level contour boundaries, as more recently published in 2020 by the US Army Public Health Center in the Noise Assessment for Los Alamitos Airfield, Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos (18). The more recent 2020 noise level contours are based on 46,235 aircraft operations. As shown on Exhibit 3-C, a portion of the northwestern portion of the Project site is within the 60 dBA CNEL noise level contour boundary of the JFTB Los Alamitos.
This analysis relies on the more recent 2020 noise level contours developed by the US Army Public Health Center. The reliance on this more recent information is justified because the noise level contours included in the AELUP were originally established based on data collected almost four decades ago in 1987 as part of an earlier US Army USAEHA assessment published in 1994. The 2020 noise level contours reflect the most current data and analysis as to existing and projected noise environments at the Project site. In addition, the 2020 noise level contours were generated based on current background information using the Department of Defense aircraft noise model NoiseMap, which is a suite of computer programs and components developed by the US Air Force to predict noise exposure near an airfield/runway due to aircraft flight, maintenance, and ground run-up operations. The 1994 report was based on information available at that time related to airfield and heliport planning criteria, air installation compatible use zone study documents from other military installations, environmental noise assessments for the Los Alamitos Armed Forces Reserve Center, then-existing and proposed airfield operations, and other information. By comparison, the 2020 noise level contours are more current, reflecting more recent existing and proposed airfield operations as well as other information.
The noise criteria identified in the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) for Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos (16) are guidelines to evaluate the land use compatibility of aircraft-related noise. The compatibility criteria, shown on Exhibit 3-D, provides a planning tool to gauge the compatibility of land uses relative to existing and future exterior noise levels. Residential land uses located outside the 60 dBA contour are considered normally consistent, residential land uses located within the 60 dBA contour are considered conditionally consistent and are required to
4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
23 ensure that the interior CNEL does not exceed 45 dBA CNEL. Residential land uses located within the 65 dBA contour are considered normally inconsistent.
This is consistent with the City of Los Alamitos noise compatibility standards which states residential land uses exposed to noise levels ranging from 60-65 dBA CNEL are considered “Normally Compatible”, and requires new construction or development to conduct a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements to verify any needed noise insulation features are included in the design. The City General Plan states, “conventional construction, with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning, will normally suffice.” Relative to noise from JFTB Los Alamitos, the General Plan states, “homes within the moderate noise impact zone (between 60 and 65 dBA CNEL) could be seriously disturbed by single noise events, but are still considered compatible by the AELUP.”

27 4 SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA
The following significance criteria are based on currently adopted guidance provided by Appendix G of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. (1) For the purposes of this report, impacts would be potentially significant if the Project results in or causes:
A. Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
B. Generation of excessive ground-borne vibration or ground-borne noise levels? C. For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? While the City of Los Alamitos General Plan Guidelines provide direction on noise compatibility and establish noise standards by land use type that are sufficient to assess the significance of noise impacts, they do not define the levels at which increases are considered substantial for use under Threshold A. Similarly, the City of Los Alamitos General Plan Guidelines do not define the vibration levels at which temporary or constant vibrations are considered substantial for use under Threshold B. CEQA Appendix G Threshold C applies to nearby public and private airports, if any, and the Project’s land use compatibility. Table 4-1 shows the significance criteria summary matrix.
4.1 NOISE LEVEL INCREASES (THRESHOLD A)
Noise level increases resulting from the Project are evaluated based on the Appendix G CEQA Guidelines described above at the closest sensitive receiver locations. Under CEQA, consideration must be given to the magnitude of the increase, the existing baseline ambient noise levels, and the location of noise-sensitive receivers to determine if a noise increase represents a significant environmental impact. This approach recognizes that there is no single noise increase that renders the noise impact significant. (19) This is primarily because of the wide variation in individual thresholds of annoyance and differing individual experiences with noise.
Thus, an important way of determining a person’s subjective reaction to a new noise is the comparison of it to the existing environment to which one has adapted—the so-called ambient environment.
In general, the more a new noise exceeds the previously existing ambient noise level, the less acceptable the new noise will typically be judged. The Federal Interagency Committee on Noise (FICON) (20) developed guidance to be used for the assessment of project-generated increases in noise levels that consider the ambient noise level. The FICON recommendations are based on studies that relate aircraft noise levels to the percentage of persons highly annoyed by aircraft noise. Although the FICON recommendations were specifically developed to assess aircraft noise impacts, these recommendations are often used in environmental noise impact assessments involving the use of cumulative noise exposure metrics, such as the average-daily noise level (CNEL) and equivalent continuous noise level (Leq).
4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
28 The FICON guidance provides an established source of criteria to assess the impacts of substantial temporary or permanent increase in baseline ambient noise levels. Based on the FICON criteria, the amount to which a given noise level increase is considered acceptable is reduced when the without Project (baseline) noise levels are already shown to exceed certain land-use specific exterior noise level criteria. The specific levels are based on typical responses to noise level increases of 5 dBA or readily perceptible, 3 dBA or barely perceptible, and 1.5 dBA depending on the underlying without Project noise levels for noise-sensitive uses. These levels of increases and their perceived acceptance are consistent with guidance provided by both the Federal Highway Administration (3 p. 9) and Caltrans (21 p. 2_48).
4.2 VIBRATION (THRESHOLD B)
As described in Section 3.6 the vibration impacts originating from the construction of 4665 Lampson Avenue, vibration-generating activities are appropriately evaluated the thresholds of significance outlined in the Caltrans Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual, (11 p. 38). These guidelines identify the maximum acceptable continuous vibration building damage threshold of 0.3 PPV (in/sec) for “older residential structures” which is used in this noise study to assess potential impacts due to Project construction vibration levels.
4.3 AIRCRAFT/AIRPORT (THRESHOLD C)
The City provides policies regarding compatibility with JFTB Los Alamitos in Policy 4.1, Land use compatibility.
The noise compatibility criteria identified in the AELUP are guidelines to evaluate the land use compatibility of aircraft-related noise. The compatibility criteria, shown on Exhibit 3-D, indicates residential land uses exposed to noise levels less than 65 dBA CNEL are “normally consistent” and no special noise reduction requirements are identified. Residential land uses exposed to noise levels less than 70 dBA CNEL are considered “conditionally consistent” with the ALEUP and would be required to ensure that the interior CNEL does not exceed 45 dBA CNEL. For noise levels greater than 70 dBA CNEL, the ALUEP considers residential land use inconsistent, unless interior noise levels are reduced to 45 dBA CNEL and that all units are interior oriented to preclude impacts on exterior use areas. The ALEUP does not require any additional considerations for exterior locations exposed to noise levels below 70 dBA CNEL.
The AELUP compatibility criteria are generally consistent with the City of Los Alamitos General Plan Policy 4.1, where the residential land uses of the Project are considered clearly compatible with unmitigated exterior noise levels of less than 60 dBA CNEL and normally compatible with unmitigated exterior noise levels approaching 70 dBA CNEL, new construction or development should be undertaken only after detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements are made and needed noise insulation features in the design are determined. Conventional construction, with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning, will normally suffice. For normally incompatible exterior noise levels, exceeding 70 dBA CNEL, new construction or development should be discouraged. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements are made and needed noise insulation features must be included in the design.
4665 Lampson Avenue
14501-11 Noise Study.docx
29 Therefore, for purposes of this analysis, exposure of exterior use areas to noise levels in excess of 70 dBA CNEL would be considered significant, and exposure of residential land uses to noise levels in excess of 65 dBA CNEL would be significant unless noise levels in interior habitable rooms are reduced to 45 dBA CNEL.
4.4 SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA SUMMARY
Noise impacts shall be considered significant if any of the following occur as a direct result of the proposed development. Table 4-1 shows the significance criteria summary matrix that includes the allowable criteria used to identify potentially significant incremental noise level increases.

31 5 EXISTING NOISE LEVEL MEASUREMENTS
To assess the existing noise level environment, four 24-hour noise level measurements were taken at sensitive receiver locations in the Project study area. The receiver locations were selected to describe and document the existing noise environment within the Project study area.
Exhibit 5-A provides the boundaries of the Project study area and the noise level measurement locations. To fully describe the existing noise conditions, noise level measurements were collected by Urban Crossroads, Inc. on Monday, May 23rd, 2022. Appendix 5.1 includes study area photos.
5.1 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE AND CRITERIA
To describe the existing noise environment, the hourly noise levels were measured during typical weekday conditions over a 24-hour period. By collecting individual hourly noise level measurements, it is possible to describe the daytime and nighttime hourly noise levels and calculate the 24-hour CNEL. The long-term noise readings were recorded using Piccolo Type 2 integrating sound level meter and dataloggers. The Piccolo sound level meters were calibrated using a Larson-Davis calibrator, Model CAL 150. All noise meters were programmed in "slow" mode to record noise levels in "A" weighted form. The sound level meters and microphones were equipped with a windscreen during all measurements. All noise level measurement equipment satisfies the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard specifications for sound level meters ANSI S1.4-2014/IEC 61672-1:2013. (22)
5.2 NOISE MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
The long-term noise level measurements were positioned as close to the nearest sensitive receiver locations as possible to assess the existing ambient hourly noise levels surrounding the Project site. Actual measurement locations may be affected by location access, equipment security, and proximity to noise sources or solid objects that would affect the measurement and thus may be located at locations that have similar acoustic conditions as the desired locations.
Both Caltrans and the FTA recognize that it is not reasonable to collect noise level measurements that can fully represent any part of a private yard, patio, deck, or balcony normally used for human activity when estimating impacts for new development projects. This is demonstrated in the Caltrans general site location guidelines which indicate that, sites must be free of noise contamination by sources other than sources of interest. Avoid sites located near sources such as barking dogs, lawnmowers, pool pumps, and air conditioners unless it is the express intent of the analyst to measure these sources. (9) Further, FTA guidance states, that it is not necessary nor recommended that existing noise exposure be determined by measuring at every noise-sensitive location in the project area. Rather, the recommended approach is to characterize the noise environment for clusters of sites based on measurements or estimates at representative locations in the community. (7)

33 Based on recommendations of Caltrans and the FTA, it is not necessary to collect measurements at each individual building or residence, because each measurement represents a group of locations that share acoustical equivalence. (7) In other words, the area represented by the measurement location shares similar shielding, terrain, and geometric relationship to the reference noise source as the receiver location. Receivers represent a location of noise sensitive areas and are used to estimate the future noise level impacts. Collecting reference ambient noise level measurements at the nearby sensitive receiver locations allows for a comparison of the before and after Project noise levels and is necessary to assess potential noise impacts due to the Project’s contribution to the ambient noise levels.
5.3 NOISE MEASUREMENT RESULTS
The noise measurements presented below focus on the average or equivalent sound levels (Leq).
The equivalent sound level (Leq) represents a steady state sound level containing the same total energy as a time varying signal over a given sample period. Table 5-1 identifies the hourly daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) noise levels at each noise level measurement location. Appendix 5.2 provides a summary of the existing hourly ambient noise levels.

The background ambient noise levels in the Project study area are dominated by the transportation-related noise associated with the arterial roadway network and the nearby community facility land uses, including but not limited to JFTB Los Alamitos, Navy Golf Course, and Arbor Park located adjacent to the northern, eastern, western Project site boundaries. This includes the auto and truck activities on Lampson Avenue adjacent to the Project site and near the noise level measurement locations. The 24-hour existing noise level measurements shown on Table 5-1 present the worst-case existing unmitigated ambient noise conditions.

35 6 TRAFFIC NOISE METHODS AND PROCEDURES
The following section outlines the methods and procedures used to estimate and analyze the future traffic noise environment. Consistent with the City of Los Alamitos General Plan Policies for residential land use, all transportation related noise levels are presented in terms of the 24-hour CNEL.
6.1 FHWA TRAFFIC NOISE PREDICTION MODEL
The estimated roadway noise impacts from vehicular traffic were calculated using a computer program that replicates the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Prediction Model- FHWA-RD-77-108. (23) The FHWA Model arrives at a predicted noise level through a series of adjustments to the Reference Energy Mean Emission Level (REMEL). In California the national REMELs are substituted with the California Vehicle Noise (Calveno) Emission Levels. (24) Adjustments are then made to the REMEL to account for: the roadway classification (e.g., collector, secondary, major or arterial), the roadway active width (i.e., the distance between the center of the outermost travel lanes on each side of the roadway), the total average daily traffic (ADT), the travel speed, the percentages of automobiles, medium trucks, and heavy trucks in the traffic volume, the roadway grade, the angle of view (e.g., whether the roadway view is blocked), the site conditions ("hard" or "soft" relates to the absorption of the ground, pavement, or landscaping), and the percentage of total ADT which flows each hour throughout a 24-hour period.
6.1.2 ON-SITE TRAFFIC NOISE PREDICTION MODEL INPUTS
The on-site roadway parameters including the average daily traffic (ADT) volumes used for this study are presented on Table 6-1. Although the Project site is located within the City of Los Alamitos, the majority of the roadways lies within the City of Seal Beach. Based on the City of Seal Beach General Plan Circulation Element, Lampson Avenue is classified as 4-lane Secondary Arterial. (25) Future average daily traffic volumes needed to assess the future on-site traffic noise environment and to identify the appropriate noise abatement measures that address the worstcase future noise conditions, shown on Table 6-1, were obtained from the 4665 Lampson Avenue Traffic Analysis prepared by Urban Crossroads on February 3, 2023 (6). The vehicle speed is based on the posted speed limit for Lampson Avenue. Soft site conditions were used to analyze the traffic noise impacts within the Project study area which account for the sound propagation loss over natural surfaces such as normal earth and ground vegetation. Research conducted by Caltrans has shown that due to the mix of ground types in actual situations, the hard site condition over predicted traffic noise levels and the use of soft site conditions is more appropriate for the application of the FHWA traffic noise prediction model .

The vehicle mix provides the hourly distribution percentages of automobile, medium trucks, and heavy trucks for input into the FHWA Model based on roadway types. To predict the future noise environment at each building within the Project site, coordinate information was collected to identify the noise transmission path between the noise source and receiver. The coordinate information is based on the Project site plan showing the plotting of each Project building in relationship to Lampson Avenue, as shown in Exhibit 1-B and in Appendix 6.1.

39 7 ON-SITE TRAFFIC NOISE IMPACTS
An on-site exterior traffic noise impact analysis has been completed to determine the noise exposure levels that would result from adjacent traffic noise sources in the Project study area, and to identify potential noise abatement measures for the proposed Project that would achieve acceptable Project exterior and interior noise levels in compliance with the City of Los Alamitos land use and noise compatibility policies. The primary source of traffic noise affecting the Project site is from Lampson Avenue. The Project will also experience some background traffic noise from the Project’s internal local streets, however, due to low traffic volume/speed, traffic noise from these roads will not make a significant contribution to the noise environment.
7.1 ON-SITE EXTERIOR TRAFFIC NOISE ANALYSIS
Using the FHWA and FTA noise prediction methodologies and the parameters outlined in Tables 6-1 thru 6-3, the expected future exterior noise levels at the Project buildings facing Lampson Avenue were calculated. Table 8-1 presents a summary of future exterior noise levels at the building façade of each floor. The on-site traffic noise level impacts indicate that noise levels at the Project buildings adjacent to Lampson Avenue would experience unmitigated exterior noise levels of ranging from 64.6 to 72.8 dBA CNEL. The on-site traffic noise analysis calculations are provided in Appendix 7.1.
To satisfy the City of Los Alamitos normally acceptable exterior noise level standard for residential land uses construction of a seven-foot-high noise barrier along Lampson Avenue, as shown on the Exhibit ES-A. With construction of this barrier, common outdoor activity areas with exposure to Lampson Avenue traffic noise would be exposed to noise levels less than 65 dBA CNEL which would satisfy the City of Los Alamitos clearly acceptable exterior noise level standard for multifamily residential land uses. With the proposed noise barrier shown on Exhibit ES-A, the future exterior noise levels at the single-family backyards and multi-family common outdoor activity areas will range from 58.3 to 63.6 dBA CNEL. This noise analysis shows that the recommended noise barrier will satisfy the City of Los Alamitos normally acceptable exterior noise level standard for single-family and clearly acceptable exterior noise level standard for multi-family residential land uses.

40 7.2 ON-SITE INTERIOR TRAFFIC NOISE ANALYSIS
To ensure that the interior traffic noise levels comply with the City of Los Alamitos interior noise level standards, future noise levels were calculated at the first and second-floor building facades.
7.2.1 NOISE REDUCTION METHODOLOGY
The interior noise level is the difference between the predicted exterior noise level at the building facade and the noise reduction of the structure. Typical building construction will provide a Noise Reduction (NR) of approximately 12 dBA with "windows open" and a minimum 25 dBA noise reduction with "windows closed." However, sound leaks, cracks and openings within the window assembly can greatly diminish its effectiveness in reducing noise. Several methods are used to improve interior noise reduction, including: (1) weather-stripped solid core exterior doors; (2) upgraded dual glazed windows; (3) mechanical ventilation/air conditioning; and (4) exterior wall/roof assembles free of cut outs or openings.
7.2.2 INTERIOR NOISE LEVEL ASSESSMENT
It is our understanding that the Project will provide mechanical ventilation (e.g. air conditioning) in all units. Therefore, Tables 7-2 and 7-3 present interior noise levels based on a windows-closed condition. Table 7-2 shows that the future noise levels at the first-floor building façades adjacent to Lampson Avenue are estimated to be 63.6 dBA CNEL with interior noise levels of
38.6 dBA CNEL. The first-floor interior noise level analysis shows that the City of Los Alamitos 45 dBA CNEL interior noise standards can be satisfied using standard construction for all firstfloor units. The on-site traffic interior noise analysis calculations are provided in Appendix 7.1.

Table 7-3 shows the future noise levels at the second-floor building façades adjacent to Lampson Avenue are estimated to be 71.3 dBA CNEL with interior noise levels of 46.3 dBA CNEL. Based on the second-floor interior noise level analysis, to comply with the City of Los Alamitos 45 dBA CNEL interior noise standards second floor units and habitable rooms would require windows with an STC rating of 29.

43 8 OFF-SITE TRAFFIC NOISE IMPACTS
To assess the off-site traffic CNEL noise level impacts associated with development of the proposed Project, noise level contours were developed based on 4665 Lampson Avenue Traffic Impact Analysis. (6) Noise level contour boundaries represent the equal levels of noise exposure and are measured in CNEL from the center of the roadway. Noise level contours were developed for the following traffic scenarios:
Existing Conditions (2023): This scenario refers to existing traffic conditions. Existing Plus Project Conditions (2023+P): This scenario refers to existing traffic conditions plus project traffic increases.
Opening Year (2026) Conditions (OY 2026): This scenario includes Existing traffic volumes plus an ambient growth factor of 8.24% plus traffic from pending and approved but not yet constructed known development projects in the area.
Opening Year (2026) Plus Project Conditions (OY 2026+P): This scenario includes Opening Year Cumulative (2026) Without Project volumes plus Project traffic increases. General Plan Buildout (2045) Without Project Conditions (GBPO): This scenario includes Existing traffic volumes plus an ambient growth factor of 14% plus traffic from pending and approved but not yet constructed known development projects in the area. General Plan Buildout (2045) With Project Conditions (GBPO+P): This scenario includes General Plan Buildout Without Project volumes plus Project traffic increases.
8.1 TRAFFIC NOISE LEVEL CONTOURS
Noise contours were used to assess the Project's incremental 24-hour dBA CNEL traffic-related noise impacts at land uses adjacent to roadways conveying Project traffic. The noise contours represent the distance to noise levels of a constant value and are measured from the center of the roadway for the 70, 65, and 60 dBA CNEL noise levels. The noise contours do not consider the effect of any existing noise barriers or topography that may attenuate ambient noise levels.
In addition, because the noise contours reflect modeling of vehicular noise on area roadways, they appropriately do not reflect noise contributions from the surrounding stationary noise sources within the Project study area.
Tables 8-1 through 8-6 present a summary of the exterior dBA CNEL traffic noise levels. Roadway segments are analyzed in each of the following timeframes: Existing, Opening Year 2022 with and without Project Buildout, General Plan Buildout (2045) with and without Project conditions.
Appendix 8.1 includes a summary of the dBA CNEL traffic noise level contours for each of the traffic scenarios.

8.2 EXISTING 2023 CONDITION PROJECT TRAFFIC NOISE LEVELS Table 8-1 presents the Existing 2023 without Project conditions CNEL noise levels, which are expected to range from 68.9 to 71.6 dBA CNEL, without accounting for any noise attenuation features such as noise barriers or topography. Table 8-2 shows the Existing 2023 with Project conditions will range from 69.0 to 71.8 dBA CNEL. As shown on Table 8-7 the Existing 2023 with Project will generate a noise level increase of up to 0.3 dBA CNEL on the study area roadway segments. Based on the significance criteria in Section 4.2 for off-site traffic noise impacts, the Project-related noise level increases are considered less than significant under Existing 2023 conditions at the land uses adjacent to roadways conveying Project traffic.
8.3 OY 2026 TRAFFIC NOISE LEVEL INCREASES
Table 8-3 presents the OY 2026 without Project conditions CNEL noise levels, which are expected to range from 69.6 to 72.6 dBA CNEL, without accounting for any noise attenuation features such as noise barriers or topography. Table 8-4 shows the OY 2026 with Project conditions will range from 69.7 to 72.8 dBA CNEL. Table 8-8 shows that the OY 2026 Project off-site traffic noise level increases of up to 0.3 dBA CNEL. Based on the significance criteria for off-site traffic noise presented in Section 4.2 for off-site traffic noise impacts, land uses adjacent to the study area roadway segments would experience less than significant noise level increases due to unmitigated OY 2026 Project-related traffic noise levels.

Table 8-5 presents the GPBO 2045 without Project conditions CNEL noise levels, which are expected to range from 70.1 to 73.0 dBA CNEL, without accounting for any noise attenuation features such as noise barriers or topography. Table 8-6 shows the GPBO 2045 with Project conditions will range from 70.1 to 73.2 dBA CNEL. Table 8-9 shows that the GPBO 2045 Project off-site traffic noise level increases of up to 0.2 dBA CNEL. Based on the significance criteria for off-site traffic noise presented in Section 4.2 for off-site traffic noise impacts, land uses adjacent to the study area roadway segments would experience less than significant noise level increases due to unmitigated GPBO 2045 Project-related traffic noise levels.
8.5 CUMULATIVE TRAFFIC NOISE LEVEL INCREASES
Table 8-10 shows that the Project off-site contribution to cumulative traffic noise level increases range from less than 0.1 to 0.2 dBA CNEL. Based on the significance criteria for off-site traffic noise presented in Section 4.2 for off-site traffic noise impacts, land uses adjacent to the study area roadway segments would not experience substantial noise level increases due to Projectrelated traffic noise level increases and would be considered a less than significant impact.

55 9 RECEIVER LOCATIONS
To assess the potential for long-term operational and short-term construction noise impacts, the following sensitive receiver locations, as shown on Exhibit 9-A, were identified as representative locations for analysis. Receiver locations are modeled points used to assess impacts. The measurements shown on Exhibit 9-A are representative of receiver locations, because not all receiver locations are accessible (e.g., located on private property, unable to physically access, etc.) Thus, the receiver locations were chosen to be acoustically representative or similar in nature.
Sensitive receivers are generally defined as locations where people reside or where the presence of unwanted sound could otherwise adversely affect the use of the land. Noise-sensitive land uses are generally considered to include schools, hospitals, single-family dwellings, mobile home parks, churches, libraries, and recreation areas. Moderately noise-sensitive land uses typically include multi-family dwellings, hotels, motels, dormitories, out-patient clinics, cemeteries, golf courses, country clubs, athletic/tennis clubs, and equestrian clubs. Land uses that are considered relatively insensitive to noise include business, commercial, and professional developments.
Land uses that are typically not affected by noise include: industrial, manufacturing, utilities, agriculture, undeveloped land, parking lots, warehousing, liquid and solid waste facilities, salvage yards, and transit terminals.
To describe the potential off-site Project noise levels, four representative receiver locations in the vicinity of the Project site were identified. All distances are measured from the Project site boundary to the outdoor living areas (e.g., private backyards) or at the building façade, whichever is closer to the Project site. The selection of receiver locations is based on FHWA guidelines and is consistent with additional guidance provided by Caltrans and the FTA, as previously described in Section 5.2. Other sensitive land uses in the Project study area that are located at greater distances than those identified in this noise study will experience lower noise levels than those presented in this report due to the additional attenuation from distance and the shielding of intervening structures. Distance is measured in a straight line from the project boundary to each receiver location.
R1: Location R1 represents existing noise sensitive Arbor Dog Park at 4665 Lampson Avenue, approximately 173 feet north of the Project site. Receiver R1 is placed at the Park’s open space. A 24-hour noise measurement was taken near this location, L1, to describe the existing ambient noise environment.
R2: Location R2 represents the existing noise sensitive residence at 12462 Lunar Drive, approximately 887 feet east of the Project site. Since there are no private outdoor living areas (backyards) facing the Project site, receiver R2 is placed at the building façade. A 24-hour noise measurement was taken near this location, L2, to describe the existing ambient noise environment.
R3: Location R3 represents the existing noise sensitive residence at 4625 Ironwood Avenue, approximately 82 feet south of the Project site. Receiver R3 is placed at the private outdoor living areas (backyards) facing the Project site. A 24-hour noise measurement was taken near this location, L3, to describe the existing ambient noise environment.

59 10 OPERATIONAL NOISE IMPACTS
This section analyzes the potential stationary-source operational noise impacts at the nearest receiver locations, identified in Section 9, resulting from the operation of the proposed 4665 Lampson Avenue Project. Exhibit 10-A identifies the representative noise source locations used to assess the operational noise levels. This section analyzes the potential operational noise impacts resulting from the operation of roof-top and ground-mounted air conditioning units, parking lot vehicle movements, outdoor activity, and trash enclosure activities associated with the Project.
10.1 OPERATIONAL NOISE SOURCES
This operational noise analysis is intended to describe noise level impacts associated with the expected typical of daytime and nighttime activities at the Project site. The proposed residential development is not expected to include any specific type of operational noise levels beyond the typical noise sources associated with residential land uses in the Project study area. However, to present a conservative approach, on-site Project-only operational noise sources are analyzed in this noise study and are expected to include: roof-top and ground-mounted air conditioning units, parking lot vehicle movements, outdoor activity, and trash enclosure activities.
AIR CONDITIONING UNITS
To assess the noise levels created by the roof-top and ground-mounted air conditioning units, reference noise levels were taken from equipment specifications for a 3- to 5-ton residential packaged air conditioning unit (Carrier 24ABC6). The air conditioning units were modeled as operating 45 minutes per hour during the daytime and 30 minutes at nighttime, which represents the typical maximum operating time for properly sized AC systems. For this noise analysis, 77 air conditioning units are expected to be located on the roof of the proposed affordable apartment buildings and 169 ground-mounted air conditioning units are located adjacent to single family detached residential units (cluster homes) and multifamily units (low-rise), as indicated on the Project site plan. The roof-top air conditioning units are anticipated to be located 3 feet above the roof and ground. At a uniform reference distance of 50 feet the units would generate a reference noise level of 44.4 dBA Leq.
PARKING LOT ACTIVITIES
To determine the noise levels associated with parking lot vehicle movements, Urban Crossroads collected reference noise level measurements over a 24-hour period, at the parking lot for the Panasonic Avionics Corporation in the City of Lake Forest. The peak hour of activity measured over the 24-hour noise level measurement period occurred between 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., or the typical lunch hour for employees working in the area. The measured reference noise level at 50 feet from parking lot vehicle movements was measured at 56.2 dBA Leq. The parking lot noise levels are mainly due to cars pulling in and out of spaces during peak lunch hour activity and employees talking. Noise associated with parking lot vehicle movements is expected to operate for the entire hour (60 minutes).

14501-11 Noise Study.docx
61 OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AREAS
To describe the outdoor common area courtyards activity areas, a reference noise level measurement was taken by Urban Crossroads, Inc, at Washington Street Park in the City of Escondido. The 4.5-acre park was active during the measurement, and included a gazebo for gathering/parties, picnic tables, restrooms, two half-court basketball courts, two ageappropriate children's playgrounds, game tables, and walking paths. At 50 feet, the reference noise level is 59.9 dBA Leq at a noise source height of 5 feet. The reference noise level measurement includes outdoor eating, drinking, with patrons laughing and talking. Outdoor activities are limited to the daytime hours.
TRASH ENCLOSURE ACTIVITY
To describe the noise levels associated with a trash enclosure activity, Urban Crossroads collected a reference noise level measurement at an existing trash enclosure containing two dumpster bins, at the at the Old Town West Parking structure in the City of Orange. The trash enclosure noise levels describe metal gates opening and closing, metal scraping against concrete floor sounds, dumpster movement on metal wheels, trash dropping into the metal dumpster. The reference noise levels describe trash enclosure noise activities when trash is dropped into an empty metal dumpster, as would occur at the Project site. The measured reference noise level at the uniform 50-foot reference distance is 72.7 dBA Lmax and 57.4 dBA Leq for the trash enclosure activity. The reference noise level describes the expected noise source activities associated with the trash enclosures for each of the Project buildings. Typical trash enclosure activities are estimated to occur for 10 minutes per hour.
10.2 REFERENCE NOISE LEVELS
To estimate the operational noise impacts, reference noise level measurements were collected from similar types of activities to represent the noise levels expected with the development of the proposed Project. While sound pressure levels (e.g., Leq) quantify in decibels the intensity of given sound sources at a reference distance, sound power levels (Lw) are connected to the sound source and are independent of distance. Sound pressure levels vary substantially with distance from the source and diminish because of intervening obstacles and barriers, air absorption, wind, and other factors. Sound power is the acoustical energy emitted by the sound source and is an absolute value that is not affected by the environment. The reference project operational noise levels are based on the Project related noise sources shown on Exhibit 10-A. The reference Project operational sound power levels are summarized in Table 10-1.

10.3 CADNAANOISE PREDICTION MODEL
To fully describe the exterior operational noise levels from the Project, Urban Crossroads, Inc. developed a noise prediction model using the CadnaA (Computer Aided Noise Abatement) computer program. CadnaA can analyze multiple types of noise sources using the spatially accurate Project site plan, georeferenced Nearmap aerial imagery, topography, buildings, and barriers in its calculations to predict outdoor noise levels.
Using the ISO 9613 protocol, CadnaA will calculate the distance from each noise source to the noise receiver locations, using the ground absorption, distance, and barrier/building attenuation inputs to provide a summary of noise level at each receiver and the partial noise level contributions by noise source. Consistent with the ISO 9613 protocol, the CadnaA noise prediction model relies on the reference sound power level (Lw) to describe individual noise sources. While sound pressure levels (e.g., Leq) quantify in decibels the intensity of given sound sources at a reference distance, sound power levels (Lw) are connected to the sound source and are independent of distance. Sound pressure levels vary substantially with distance from the source and diminish because of intervening obstacles and barriers, air absorption, wind, and other factors. Sound power is the acoustical energy emitted by the sound source and is an absolute value that is not affected by the environment.
The operational noise level calculations provided in this noise study account for the distance attenuation provided due to geometric spreading, when sound from a localized stationary source (i.e., a point source) propagates uniformly outward in a spherical pattern. A default ground attenuation factor of 0.5 was used in the noise analysis to account for mixed ground representing a combination of hard and soft surfaces. Appendix 10.2 includes the detailed noise model inputs used to estimate the Project operational noise levels presented in this section.

10.6 PROJECT OPERATIONAL NOISE LEVEL INCREASES
To describe the Project operational noise level increases, the Project operational noise levels are combined with the existing ambient noise levels measurements for the nearest receiver locations potentially impacted by Project operational noise sources. Since the units used to measure noise, decibels (dB), are logarithmic units, the Project-operational and existing ambient noise levels cannot be combined using standard arithmetic equations. (9) Instead, they must be logarithmically added using the following base equation:
SPLTotal = 10log10[10SPL1/10 + 10SPL2/10 + … 10SPLn/10] Where “SPL1,” “SPL2,” etc. are equal to the sound pressure levels being combined, or in this case, the Project-operational and existing ambient noise levels. The difference between the combined Project and ambient noise levels describes the Project noise level increases to the existing ambient noise environment. Noise levels that would be experienced at receiver locations when Project-source noise is added to the daytime and nighttime ambient conditions are presented on Tables 10-2 and 10-3, respectively.
As indicated on Tables 10-5 and 10-6, the Project will generate an unmitigated daytime and nighttime operational noise level increases ranging from less than 0.0 to 1.2 dBA Leq at the nearest receiver locations. In effect, the amount to which a given noise level increase is considered acceptable is reduced based on existing ambient noise conditions. Based on the operational noise level increase significance criteria presented in Section 4.2, the Project-related operational noise level increases will satisfy the operational noise level increase criteria at the nearest sensitive receiver locations and the impact will be less than significant.

67 11 CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS
This section analyzes potential impacts resulting from the short-term construction activities associated with the development of the Project. Exhibit 11-A shows the construction noise source locations in relation to the nearest sensitive receiver locations previously described in Section 9. Section 17.20.020 of the City of Los Alamitos Code, construction activities are exempted from the noise ordinance if it occurs between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturdays. No construction is allowed at any time on Sundays or Federal holidays.
In addition, since the City of Los Alamitos has not established a numeric maximum acceptable construction source noise levels at potentially affected receivers for CEQA analysis purposes, a numerical construction threshold based on Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual is used for analysis of daytime construction impacts.
The FTA considers a daytime exterior construction noise level of 80 dBA Leq as a reasonable threshold for noise sensitive residential land use. (7 p. 179)
11.1 CONSTRUCTION NOISE LEVELS
Noise generated by the Project construction equipment will include a combination of trucks, power tools, concrete mixers, and portable generators that when combined can reach high levels. The number and mix of construction equipment is expected to occur in the following stages:
Demolition
Site Preparation
Grading
Building Construction
Paving
Architectural Coating
11.2 CONSTRUCTION REFERENCE NOISE LEVELS
To describe construction noise activities, this construction noise analysis was prepared using reference construction equipment noise levels from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published the Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM), which includes a national database of construction equipment reference noise emission levels. (27) The RCNM equipment database, provides a comprehensive list of the noise generating characteristics for specific types of construction equipment. In addition, the database provides an acoustical usage factor to estimate the fraction of time each piece of construction equipment is operating at full power (i.e., its loudest condition) during a construction operation.

11.3 CONSTRUCTION NOISE ANALYSIS
Using the reference construction equipment noise levels and the CadnaA noise prediction model, calculations of the Project construction noise level impacts at the nearby sensitive receiver locations were completed. To assess a reasonable worst-case construction scenario and account for the dynamic nature of construction activities, the Project construction noise analysis models the equipment combination with the highest reference level as a moving point within the construction area (Project site boundary). Construction impacts are based on the highest noise level calculated at each receiver location. As shown on Table 11-2, the construction noise levels are expected to range from 26.8 to 63.6 dBA Leq, and the highest construction levels are expected to range from 35.1 to 63.6 dBA Leq at the nearby receiver locations. Appendix 11.1 includes the detailed CadnaA construction noise model inputs.
The construction noise analysis presents a conservative approach with the highest noise-levelproducing equipment for each stage of Project construction operating at the closest point from primary construction activity to the nearby sensitive receiver locations. This scenario is unlikely to occur during typical construction activities and likely overstates the construction noise levels which will be experienced at each receiver location.

The nearest construction noise source and receiver locations are shown on Exhibit 11-A. All receivers are shown on Exhibit 9A 2 Construction noise level calculations based on distance from the project site boundaries (construction activity area) to nearby receiver locations. CadnaA construction noise model inputs are included in Appendix 11.1.
11.4 CONSTRUCTION NOISE LEVEL COMPLIANCE
To evaluate whether the Project will generate potentially significant short-term noise levels at nearest receiver locations, a construction-related daytime noise level threshold of 80 dBA Leq is used as a reasonable threshold to assess the daytime construction noise level impacts. The construction noise analysis shows that the nearest receiver locations will satisfy the reasonable daytime 80 dBA Leq significance threshold during Project construction activities as shown on Table 11-3. Therefore, the noise impacts due to Project construction noise are considered less than significant at all receiver locations.

11.5 CONSTRUCTION VIBRATION IMPACTS
Construction activity can result in varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the equipment and methods used, distance to the affected structures and soil type. It is expected that ground-borne vibration from Project construction activities would cause only intermittent, localized intrusion. Ground-borne vibration levels resulting from typical construction activities occurring within the Project site were estimated by data published by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). (7) However, while vehicular traffic is rarely perceptible, construction has
