EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This noise impact analysis report analyzes the potential noise and vibration impacts of the proposed project of Richardson’s RV to (1) establish an outdoor storage yard for the temporary staging and storage of Recreational Vehicles (“RVs”) on a one-acre property located at 10030 Indiana Avenue in the City of Riverside, California (“Project Site”), and (2) to convert an existing 1,351 square foot residence at the Project Site into an office (collectively, the “Project”). On November 30, 2022, the Development Review Committee (“DRC”) approved an application from Steve Richardson of Richardson’s RV for a Minor Conditional Use Permit and Design Review for the Project. The Project entails:
Paving approximately 33,763 square feet of the lot for the purpose of storing RVs; Striping forty-five 9 x 35-foot stalls for storage of RVs; Conversion of the existing 1,351 square foot residence on the Project Site into an office for Richardson’s RV (The building conversion involves minimal interior remodeling only. There is no expansion of the building outside of the existing footprint.); Construction of fences and walls; and
Landscaping.
The Project will operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with four employees on-site. No sales of RVs, maintenance, washing or fueling are proposed to take place on-site.
The Project will not result in any significant construction or operational impacts relating to noise or vibration under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the Project will not exceed the applicable noise standards set forth in the City’s Municipal Code. Notably, project construction will not take place between the hours of 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM on weekdays, between the hours of 5:00 PM and 8:00 AM on Saturdays, or at any time on Sunday or a federal holiday; the Project’s construction is thus exempt from the provisions of Title 7 of the City’s Municipal Code, which governs noise control (see Riverside Municipal Code, §
7.35.020). Moreover, the Project will have limited operational noise, which would be less than the exterior noise standard of 55 dBA for residential land uses between 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM and less than the exterior noise standard of 65 dBA for office/commercial land uses (see Riverside Municipal Code, Table 7.25.010A).
In short, the Project will have less than significant impacts relating to noise and vibration.

1. INTRODUCTION
This section describes the purpose of this study and the proposed project.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of the noise impacts that could potentially result from development and operation of the proposed project. The noise issues related to the proposed land use and development have been evaluated in light of applicable federal, state and local policies, including those of the City of Riverside, in the context of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Although this is a technical report, effort has been made to write the report clearly and concisely. A list of acronyms and glossary are provided in Appendix A and Appendix B of this report to assist the reader with technical terms related to noise and vibration analysis.
PROJECT LOCATION
The 1.0-acre project site is located at 10030 Indiana Avenue, in the City of Riverside, California. The proposed project is currently developed with an existing 1,351 square foot residence. A vicinity map showing the project location is provided in Figure 1.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of a Minor Conditional Use Permit and a Design Review for an Outdoor Storage Yard and the conversion of an existing 1,351 square foot residence into an office for Richardson’s RV storage. The development consists of:
Paving approximately 33,763 square feet of the lot for outdoor storage purposes; Striping forty-five 9 x 35-foot stalls for storage of vehicles; Conversion of the existing residence into an office (The building conversion involves minimal interior remodeling only. There is no expansion of the building outside of the existing footprint.); Construction of fences and walls; and
Landscaping
The project will operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with four employees on-site.
Recreational vehicles and trailers will be transported to and from the storage yard as required for inventory control. Plans indicate the storage yard will be secured and screened as follows:
A new 6-foot-high opaque tubular steel fence and opaque rolling gate on the north side of the storage yard;
A combination of an existing 5-foot-high decorative stucco perimeter wall and new 10-foot-high decorative opaque metal fence along the east side property line; A combination of an existing 6-foot-high CMU wall and new landscaping along the south property line, adjacent to the AT&SF Railroad; and
An existing self-storage building along the west side property line.
No sales of recreational vehicles, maintenance, washing or fueling are proposed to take place on-site. Figure 2 illustrates the project site plan.

2. NOISE AND VIBRATION FUNDAMENTALS
This section provides an overview of key noise and vibration concepts.
NOISE FUNDAMENTALS
Sound is a pressure wave created by a moving or vibrating source that travels through an elastic medium such as air. Noise is defined as unwanted or objectionable sound. The effects of noise on people can include general annoyance, interference with speech communication, sleep disturbance, and in extreme circumstances, hearing impairment.
Commonly used noise terms are presented in Appendix B. The unit of measurement used to describe a noise level is the decibel (dB). The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies within the sound spectrum.
Therefore, the “A-weighted” noise scale, which weights the frequencies to which humans are sensitive, is used for measurements. Noise levels using A-weighted measurements are written dB(A) or dBA.
From the noise source to the receiver, noise changes both in level and frequency spectrum. The most obvious is the decrease in noise as the distance from the source increases. The manner in which noise reduces with distance depends on whether the source is a point or line source as well as ground absorption, atmospheric effects and refraction, and shielding by natural and manmade features. Sound from point sources, such as air conditioning condensers, radiates uniformly outward as it travels away from the source in a spherical pattern.
The noise drop-off rate associated with this geometric spreading is 6 dBA per each doubling of the distance (dBA/DD). Transportation noise sources such as roadways are typically analyzed as line sources, since at any given moment the receiver may be impacted by noise from multiple vehicles at various locations along the roadway. Because of the geometry of a line source, the noise drop-off rate associated with the geometric spreading of a line source is 3 dBA/DD.
Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale, which quantifies sound intensity in a manner similar to the Richter scale used for earthquake magnitudes. Thus, a doubling of the energy of a noise source, such as a doubled traffic volume, would increase the noise levels by 3 dBA; halving of the energy would result in a 3 dBA decrease. Figure 3 shows the relationship of various noise levels to commonly experienced noise events.
Average noise levels over a period of minutes or hours are usually expressed as dBA L eq, or the equivalent noise level for that period of time. For example, Leq(3-hr) would represent a 3-hour average. When no period is specified, a one-hour average is assumed.
Noise standards for land use compatibility are stated in terms of the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) and the Day-Night Average Noise Level (DNL). CNEL is a 24-hour weighted average measure of community noise. CNEL is obtained by adding five decibels to sound levels in the evening (7:00 PM to 10:00 PM), and by adding ten decibels to sound levels at night (10:00 PM to 7:00 AM). This weighting accounts for the increased human sensitivity to noise during the evening and nighttime hours. DNL is a very similar 24- hour average measure that weights only the nighttime hours.
It is widely accepted that the average healthy ear can barely perceive changes of 3 dBA; that a change of 5 dBA is readily perceptible, and that an increase (decrease) of 10 dBA sounds twice (half) as loud. This definition is recommended by the California Department of Transportation’s Technical Noise Supplement to the Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol (2013).
VIBRATION FUNDAMENTALS
The way in which vibration is transmitted through the earth is called propagation. Propagation of earthborn vibrations is complicated and difficult to predict because of the endless variations in the soil through which waves travel. There are three main types of vibration propagation: surface, compression and shear waves. 4 PR-2021-001026 (MCUP, DR) Exhibit 9 - Applicant Reponse to Appeal Letter

Surface waves, or Rayleigh waves, travel along the ground’s surface. These waves carry most of their energy along an expanding circular wave front, similar to ripples produced by throwing a rock into a pool of water.
Compression waves, or P-waves, are body waves that carry their energy along an expanding spherical wave front. The particle motion in these waves is longitudinal (i.e., in a “push-pull” fashion). P-waves are analogous to airborne sound waves. Shear waves, or S-waves, are also body waves that carry energy along an expanding spherical wave front. However, unlike P-waves, the particle motion is transverse or “side-to-side and perpendicular to the direction of propagation”.
As vibration waves propagate from a source, the energy is spread over an ever-increasing area such that the energy level striking a given point is reduced with the distance from the energy source. This geometric spreading loss is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Wave energy is also reduced with distance as a result of material damping in the form of internal friction, soil layering, and void spaces. The amount of attenuation provided by material damping varies with soil type and condition as well as the frequency of the wave.
Vibration amplitudes are usually expressed as either peak particle velocity (PPV) or the root mean square (RMS) velocity. The PPV is defined as the maximum instantaneous peak of the vibration signal in inches per second. The RMS of a signal is the average of the squared amplitude of the signal in vibration decibels (VdB), ref one micro-inch per second. The Federal Railroad Administration uses the abbreviation “VdB” for vibration decibels to reduce the potential for confusion with sound decibel.
PPV is appropriate for evaluating the potential of building damage and VdB is commonly used to evaluate human response. Decibel notation acts to compress the range of numbers required in measuring vibration.
Similar to the noise descriptors, L eq and Lmax can be used to describe the average vibration and the maximum vibration level observed during a single vibration measurement interval. Figure 4 illustrates common vibration sources and the human and structural responses to ground-borne vibration. As shown in the figure, the threshold of perception for human response is approximately 65 VdB; however, human response to vibration is not usually substantial unless the vibration exceeds 70 VdB. Vibration tolerance limits for sensitive instruments such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or electron microscopes could be much lower than the human vibration perception threshold.

3. EXISTING NOISE ENVIRONMENT
This section describes the existing noise setting in the project vicinity.
EXISTING LAND USES AND SENSITIVE RECEPTORS
The project site is bordered by Indiana Avenue to the north, a commercial self-storage use to the west, railroad tracks to the south, and commercial uses to the east of the project site.
The State of California defines sensitive receptors as those land uses that require serenity or are otherwise adversely affected by noise events or conditions. Schools, libraries, churches, hospitals, single and multiple- family residential, including transient lodging, motels and hotel uses make up the majority of these areas.
Existing sensitive land uses in the vicinity of the project site include the existing single-family residential land uses located approximately 145 feet south (along Rhinelander Drive) and 465 feet northwest (along the northern side of Diana Avenue) of the project site boundaries.
AMBIENT NOISE MEASUREMENTS
An American National Standards Institute (ANSI Section SI.4 2014, Class 1) Larson Davis model LxT sound level meter was used to document existing ambient noise levels. In order to document existing ambient noise levels in the project area, three (3) 15-minute daytime noise measurements were taken between 1:29 PM and 3:06 PM on September 23, 2024. In addition, one (1) long-term 24-hour noise measurement was also taken from September 23, 2024, to September 24, 2024. Figure 5 shows the noise measurement location map.
Field worksheets and noise measurement worksheets are provided in Appendix C.
As shown on Figure 5, the noise meter was placed at the following locations:
STNM1: represents the existing noise environment of the northern portion of the project site and the commercial uses to the north of the project along the northern side of Indiana Avenue (10031 Indiana Avenue, Riverside). The noise meter was placed near the northern property line of the project site just south of Indiana Avenue.
STNM2: represents the existing noise environment of the commercial uses to the east of the project site (10020 Indiana Avenue, Riverside). The noise meter was placed near the center of the eastern project property line just west of the commercial use.
STNM3: represents the existing noise environment of the single-family residential uses located to the south of the project site along Rhinelander Drive (10047 Rhinelander Drive, Riverside). The noise meter was placed just south of the residential use and north of Rhinelander Drive.
LTNM1: represents the existing noise environment of the southern portion of the project site and the single-family residential uses located to the south of the project site along Rhinelander Drive (10047 Rhinelander Drive, Riverside). The noise meter was placed near the southern property line of the project site.
Table 1 provides a summary of the short-term ambient noise data. Table 2 provides hourly interval ambient noise data from the long-term noise measurement. Measured short-term ambient noise levels ranged between
53.8 and 69 dBA L eq. Long-term hourly noise measurement ambient noise levels ranged from 56.7 to 77.3 dBA Leq. The dominant noise source in the project vicinity was vehicle traffic associated with Indiana Avenue, 91 Freeway, and Rhineland Drive and train activity.

4. REGULATORY SETTING
This section documents the regulatory framework and applicable noise standards.
FEDERAL REGULATION
Federal Noise Control Act of 1972
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Noise Abatement and Control was originally established to coordinate federal noise control activities. After its inception, EPA’s Office of Noise Abatement and Control issued the Federal Noise Control Act of 1972, establishing programs and guidelines to identify and address the effects of noise on public health, welfare, and the environment. In response, the EPA published Information on Levels of Environmental Noise Requisite to Protect Public Health and Welfare with an Adequate Margin of Safety (Levels of Environmental Noise). The Levels of Environmental Noise recommended that the Ldn should not exceed 55 dBA outdoors or 45 dBA indoors to prevent significant activity interference and annoyance in noise-sensitive areas.
In 1981, EPA administrators determined that subjective issues such as noise would be better addressed at lower levels of government. Consequently, in 1982 responsibilities for regulating noise control policies were transferred to State and local governments. However, noise control guidelines and regulations contained in EPA rulings in prior years remain in place by designated Federal agencies, allowing more individualized control for specific issues by designated Federal, State, and local government agencies.
Federal Transit Administration
Transit and Construction Noise
FTA standards and criteria for assessing noise impacts related to transit projects are based on community reactions to noise. The criteria reflect changes in noise exposure using a sliding scale where the higher the level of existing noise, the smaller increase in total noise exposure is allowed. Some land use activities are more sensitive to noise than others, such as parks, churches and residences, as compared to industrial and commercial uses. FTA Noise Impact Criteria groups sensitive land uses into the three categories described below.
(1) Category 1 – High Sensitivity: Land where quiet is an essential element of its intended purpose. Example land uses include preserved land for serenity and quiet, outdoor amphitheaters and concert pavilions, and national historic landmarks with considerable outdoor use. Recording studios and concert halls are also included in this category.
(2) Category 2 – Residential: This category is applicable to all residential land use and buildings where people normally sleep, such as hotels and hospitals.
(3) Category 3 – Institutional: This category is applicable to institutional land uses with primarily daytime and evening use. Example land uses include schools, libraries, theaters, and churches where it is important to avoid interference with such activities as speech, meditation, and concentration on reading material.
Places for meditation or study associated with cemeteries, monuments, museums, campgrounds, and recreational facilities are also included in this category.
Most commercial or industrial uses are not considered noise-sensitive because activities within these buildings are generally compatible with higher noise levels. Business can be considered noise-sensitive if low noise levels are an important part of operations, such as sound and motion picture recording studios. Most parks used primarily for active recreation such as sports complexes and bike or running paths are not considered noise sensitive. However, some parks (even some in dense urban areas) are primarily used for passive recreation such as reading, conversation, or meditation. These places, which may be valued as havens from 12 PR-2021-001026 (MCUP, DR) Exhibit 9 - Applicant Reponse to Appeal Letter
Richardson RV Storage

13 19631
the noise and rapid pace of everyday city life, are treated as noise-sensitive, and are included in land use Category 3. Non-sensitive uses do not require noise impact assessment.
Construction noise is assessed using guidance provided in the FTA Guidance Manual. The FTA provides reasonable criteria for assessing construction noise impacts based on the potential for adverse community reaction. For residential uses, the daytime noise threshold is 80 dBA L eq averaged over an 8-hour period (L eq (8-hr); and the nighttime noise threshold is 70 dBA L eq (8-hr). For commercial uses, the daytime and nighttime noise threshold is 85 dBA Leq (8-hr) and for industrial uses the daytime and nighttime noise threshold is 90 dBA Leq (8-hr).
Transit and Construction Vibration
FTA has developed impact criteria for acceptable levels of groundborne noise (GBN) and groundborne vibration (GBV). Criteria for ground-borne vibration are expressed in terms of rms velocity levels in VdB, and criteria for ground-borne noise are expressed in terms of A-weighted sound pressure levels in dBA. Table 3 shows that 80 VdB is the threshold for annoyance from groundborne vibration at sensitive receptors for infrequent events. The FTA also provides criteria for special buildings such as concert halls, television and recording studios, auditoriums, and theaters, which are also sensitive to vibration but do not fit into the three FTA sensitive land use categories previously described.
Ground-borne noise that accompanies the building vibration is usually perceptible only inside buildings and typically is only an issue at locations with subway or tunnel operations where there is no airborne noise path or for buildings with substantial sound insulation such as a recording studio. 1 As such, available guidelines from the FTA are utilized to assess impacts due to ground-borne vibration. The FTA has adopted vibration standards that are used to evaluate potential building damage impacts related to construction activities. As shown in Table 4, the threshold at which there is a risk to “architectural” damage to non-engineered timber and masonry buildings is a peak particle velocity (PPV) of 0.2, at engineered concrete and masonry buildings a PPV of 0.3, and at reinforced-concrete, steel, or timber buildings a PPV of 0.5.

STATE REGULATIONS
State of California General Plan Guidelines 2017
Though not adopted by law, the State of California General Plan Guidelines 2017, published by the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) (OPR Guidelines), provides guidance for the compatibility of projects within areas of specific noise exposure. The OPR Guidelines identify the suitability of various types of construction relative to a range of outdoor noise levels and provide each local community some flexibility in setting local noise standards that allow for the variability in community preferences. Findings presented in the Levels of Environmental Noise Document (EPA 1974) influenced the recommendations of the OPR Guidelines, most importantly in the choice of noise exposure metrics (i.e., Ldn or CNEL) and in the upper limits for the normally acceptable outdoor exposure of noise-sensitive uses.
The OPR Guidelines include a Noise and Land Use Compatibility Matrix which identifies acceptable and unacceptable community noise exposure limits for various land use categories. Where the “normally acceptable” range is used, it is defined as the highest noise level that should be considered for the construction of buildings which do not incorporate any special acoustical treatment or noise mitigation. The “conditionally acceptable” or “normally unacceptable” ranges include conditions calling for detailed acoustical study prior to the construction or operation of the proposed project.
LOCAL REGULATIONS
City of Riverside General Plan
Table 5 shows the City’s noise level standards related to land use compatibility. This matrix does not provide noise/land use compatibility criteria for multiple family residential land uses. For the purposes of this analysis, the noise/land use compatibility criteria for infill single family residential land uses has been used. As shown in Table 5, commercial uses are considered “normally acceptable” where noise levels are not expected to exceed 65 dBA CNEL and “conditionally acceptable” up to 75 dBA CNEL. These standards apply to the proposed project itself. In addition, single-family residential uses are considered “normally acceptable” where noise levels are not expected to exceed 60 dBA CNEL and “conditionally acceptable” up to 65 dBA CNEL.
The City of Riverside General Plan also includes the following objectives and policies in regard to noise which apply to the proposed project.
Objective N-1 Minimize noise levels from point sources throughout the community and, wherever possible, mitigate the effects of noise to provide a safe and healthful environment.
Policies
N-1.1 Continue to enforce noise abatement and control measures particularly within residential neighborhoods.

New construction or development should generally not be undertaken, unless it can be demonstrated that noise reduction requirements can be employed to reduce noise impacts to an acceptable level. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of noise reduction requirements must be made and needed noise insulation features inluded in the design.
Specified land use is satisfactory, based up the assumption that any building is of normal conventional construction, without any special noise insulation requirements.
New construction or development should be undertaken only after a detailed analysis of noise reduction requirements is made and needed noise insulation features included in design. Conventional constuction, but with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning will normally suffice.
New construction or development should generally be discouraged. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of noise reduction requirements must be made and needed noise insulation features included in design.

5. ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY AND MODEL PARAMETERS
This section discusses the analysis methodologies used to assess noise impacts.
CONSTRUCTION NOISE MODELING
Construction noise will vary depending on the construction process, type of equipment involved, location of the construction site with respect to sensitive receptors, the schedule proposed to carry out each task (e.g., hours and days of the week) and the duration of the construction work.
Construction noise associated with the proposed project was calculated at the sensitive receptor locations, utilizing methodology presented in the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual (2018) together with several key construction parameters, including: distance to each sensitive receiver, equipment usage, percent usage factor, and baseline parameters for the project site.
Distances to receptors were based on the acoustical center of the project site.
The equipment used to calculate the construction noise levels for each phase were based on assumptions and anticipated project construction activities. For analysis purposes, the distance measured from the project site to sensitive receptors was assumed to be the acoustical center of the project site to the property line of residential properties with existing residential buildings. Sound emission levels associated with typical construction equipment as well as typical usage factors are provided in Table 8. Construction noise worksheets are provided in Appendix D.
SOUNDPLAN NOISE MODEL
The SoundPLAN acoustical modeling software was utilized to model project operational stationary noise levels from the proposed project to adjacent sensitive uses (e.g., residences). SoundPLAN is capable of evaluating stationary noise sources (e.g., parking lots, drive-thru menus, carwash equipment, vacuums, etc.). The SoundPLAN software utilizes algorithms (based on the inverse square law) to calculate noise level projections.
The software allows the user to input specific noise sources, spectral content, sound barriers, building placement, topography, and sensitive receptor locations. In addition to the information provided below, noise modeling input and outputs assumptions are provided in Appendix E.
Operational Noise
Operational noise levels were modeled utilizing representative sound levels in the SoundPLAN model.
Modeled noise sources include parking lot, HVAC equipment, and parking lot noise. The busiest hour associated with project operation was modeled utilizing representative sound levels in the SoundPLAN model.
All noise sources were modeled to be in full operation.
Parking Lot Noise
Parking lot noise was calculated using SoundPLAN methodology. Specifically, the traffic volume of the parking lot is entered with the number of moves per parking space, the hour and the number of parking bays. The user defines whether the parking lots are for automobiles, motorcycles, or trucks, and the emission level of a parking lot is automatically adjusted accordingly. The values for the number of parking moves for each time slice is the number of parking moves per reference unit (most often per parking bay), averaged for the hour 2.
SoundPLAN utilizes parking lot noise emission levels from the 6th revised edition of the parking lot study “Recommendations for the Calculation of Sound Emissions of Parking Areas, Motorcar Centers and Bus
2 SoundPLAN Essential 5.1 Manual. SoundPLAN GmbH. August 2020. https://www.aacacustica.com/galeria/soundplan/essential/Manual_SoundPLAN_Essential_5.1.pdf 23 PR-2021-001026 (MCUP, DR) Exhibit 9 - Applicant Reponse to Appeal Letter

Stations as well as of Multi-Story Car Parks and Underground Car Parks” published by the Bavarian Landesamt für Umwelt provides calculation methods to determine the emissions of parking lots.
The parking lot emission table documents the reference level (Lw, ref) from parking lot study:
Lw, ref = Lw0 + KPA + KI + KD + KStrO + 10 log(B) [dB(A)]
With the following parameters:
Lw0 = Basic sound power, sound power level of one motion / per hour on P+R areas = 63 dB(A) KPA = Surcharge parking lot type
KI = Surcharge for impulse character
KD = Surcharge for the traffic passaging and searching for parking bays in the driving lanes 2.5 * lg (f * B - 9) f = Parking bays per unit of the reference value
B = Reference value
KStrO = Surcharge for the road surface
B = Reference value
Mechanical Equipment (HVAC Units)
To be conservative, it was assumed that building associated with the proposed project would include a ground mounted heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit. A noise reference level of 67.7 dBA at 3 feet (sound power level of 78.7 dB) was utilized to represent rooftop 5 Ton Carrier HVAC units3. A rooftop HVAC plan is not available at the time of this analysis so the exact location of the unit on the building was estimated.
The noise source height for each HVAC unit was assumed at 1 meter above the roof top. The roof top is assumed to be approximately 4.57 meters (~15 feet) above grade.
Truck Drive
For noise modeling purposes, it was assumed that 4 heavy trucks would access the site and travel to the south end per day. The road element in the SoundPLAN noise model was used to account for truck height and emissions.
MOBILE SOURCE NOISE MODELING
Noise from vehicular traffic was projected using a computer program that replicates the FHWA Traffic Noise Noise from vehicular traffic (Existing, Existing Plus Project, and Future) was modeled using a computer program that replicates the FHWA Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108). The FHWA model arrives at the predicted noise level through a series of adjustments to the Reference Energy Mean Emission Level (REMEL). Key model parameters and REMEL adjustments are presented below:
Roadway classification (e.g., freeway, major arterial, arterial, secondary, collector, etc.), Roadway active width (distance between the center of the outer most travel lanes on each side of the roadway),
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) Volumes, Travel Speeds, Percentages of automobiles, medium trucks and heavy trucks,
Roadway grade and angle of view,
Site conditions (e.g., soft vs. hard), and

Percentage of total ADT which flows each hour throughout a 24-hour period.
Traffic noise levels were calculated at the right-of-way based on distance from the centerline of the analyzed roadway. The modeling is theoretical and does not take into account any existing barriers, structures, and/or topographical features that may further reduce noise levels. Therefore, the modeled noise levels are shown for comparative purposes only to show the difference between with and without project conditions. Traffic noise calculation worksheets are included in Appendix F.
Existing and Existing Plus Project Traffic Noise Levels
Project generated vehicle traffic is expected to travel on Indiana Avenue to access the project site. Existing average daily vehicle trips for Indiana Avenue were based on the City of Riverside Traffic Volume Counts.4 As no project trip distribution is provided and to provide a conservative scenario, it was assumed that all project generated vehicle trips would travel on each of the modeled roadway segments. Table 9 includes the modeled roadway segments as well as the average daily traffic volumes, posted speed limits, and vehicle mix utilized in this analysis.
GROUNDBORNE VIBRATION MODELING
Groundborne vibration modeling was performed using vibration propagation equations and construction equipment source levels obtained from the FTA Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual (2018).
Table 10 shows typical vibration levels associated with commonly used construction equipment based on data from the FTA.
There are several types of construction equipment that can cause vibration levels high enough to annoy persons in the vicinity and/or result in architectural or structural damage to nearby structures and improvements. For example, as shown in Table 10, a vibratory roller could generate up to 0.21 in/sec PPV at and operation of a large bulldozer could generate up to 0.089 PPV at a distance of 25 feet (two of the most vibratory pieces of construction equipment). Groundborne vibration at sensitive receptors associated with this equipment would drop off as the equipment moves away. For example, as the vibratory roller moves further than 100 feet from the sensitive receptors, the vibration associated with it would drop below 0.0026 in/sec PPV. It should be noted that these vibration levels are reference levels and may vary slightly depending upon soil type and specific usage of each piece of equipment. Groundborne vibration calculations are provided in Appendix G.
The fundamental equation used to calculate vibration propagation through average soil conditions and distance is as follows:
PPVequipment = PPVref (25/Drec)n
Where: PPVref = reference PPV at 25ft.
Drec = distance from equipment to receiver in ft.
n = 1.5 (the value related to the attenuation rate through ground)

Vehicle Distribution (Heavy Mix)2
(1) The Air Quality Technical Memorandum prepared for the proposed project states that “the proposed use is for a consumer RV and travel trailer storage yard which has a low associated vehicle trip rate. In addition, the project’s associated retail sales yard is located at 10717 Indiana Avenue, which is less than a mile from the project site, and the vehicle trips associated with the proposed project occur between the project site and this location. Based on these project operational details, it is assumed that the proposed project would have up to four vehicle trips per day." Therefore, it was assumed that the project would have four average daily vehile trips. Existing average daily vehicle trips for Indiana Avenue were based on the City of Riverside 24 Hour Volume Counts as updated May 23, 2023.
The segment of Indiana Avenue west of Harrison Street was utilized in the analysis. https://riversideca.gov/publicworks/sites/riversideca.gov.publicworks/files/pdf/traffic-volume-counts_5-23-23.pdf Table 9

6. NOISE AND VIBRATION IMPACTS
This section analyzes the significance of project-related noise and groundborne vibration impacts relative to standards established by the City of Riverside and other applicable agencies in the context of CEQA. Appendix G of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations) includes an environmental checklist that identifies issues upon which findings of significance should be made. The CEQA Environmental Checklist Appendix G, XIII. Noise, requires determination if the project would result in:
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 groundborne vibration or groundborne 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 area to excessive noise levels?
NOISE IMPACTS
Would the project result in:
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?
Finding: Less Than Significant
In relation to the Environmental Checklist noise issue “a”, applicable standards established by the City of Riverside can be categorized into the following areas:
Construction Noise
Operational Noise
Project Construction
On-Site Equipment
City of Riverside Municipal Code Section 7.35.020(G) provides that noise sources associated with construction, repair, remodeling, or grading of any real property is exempt from the provisions of Title 7 of the City’s Municipal Code, which governs noise, provided that such activity does not take place between the hours of 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM on weekdays, 5:00 PM to 8:00 AM on Saturdays, or at any time on Sundays or federal holidays.
No construction, repair, remodeling, or grading for the Project will occur between the hours of 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM on weekdays, 5:00 PM to 8:00 AM on Saturdays, or at any time on Sundays or federal holidays.
Construction, remodeling, and grading for the project is anticipated to take place over a period of 14 days.
Therefore, there is no need for construction activity outside the hours set forth in Municipal Code Section
7.35.020(G), and the project applicant does not propose any construction activity during these times.
Neither the City of Riverside’s General Plan nor Municipal Code establish numeric thresholds for maximum acceptable construction source noise levels at potentially affected receivers. The Federal Transit 30 PR-2021-001026 (MCUP, DR) Exhibit 9 - Applicant Reponse to Appeal Letter

Administration (FTA) does provide standards for maximum acceptable construction source noise in its Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual , and as discussed below, the Project would not generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of those standards. Therefore, based on the below analysis, not only are the noise sources associated with the construction of the Project remodeling and grading exempt from the City’s noise regulations pursuant to Municipal Code Section 7.35.020(G), but Project related construction noise sources would additionally not qualify as a significant noise impact under other standards.
According to the FTA, project construction noise criteria should account for the existing noise 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. As shown in Table 4, the FTA considers a daytime exterior construction noise level of 80 dBA L eq for noise sensitive residential land uses and 85 dBA Leq for commercial uses. In addition, the FTA considers a nighttime exterior construction noise level of 70 dBA Leq for noise sensitive residential land uses and 85 dBA Leq for commercial uses.
Accordingly, the project could result in a significant impact if:
Project construction noise exceeds 80 dBA L eq during the daytime or 70 dBA L eq during the nighttime at residential uses.
Project construction noise exceeds 85 dBA Leq during the daytime or nighttime at commercial uses.
Project construction noise levels at nearby sensitive receptors were calculated using the FTA methodology.
Construction noise modeling worksheets for each phase are provided in Appendix D. Anticipated noise levels during each construction phase are presented in Table 11.
The single-family residential uses to the south and the commercial uses to the east, west, and north of the project site boundaries may be affected by short-term noise impacts associated with construction noise, but, as shown in the results below, impacts would be less than significant.
As shown in Table 11, modeled construction noise levels are forecast to reach up to 65.4 dBA L eq at the nearest residential property line to the south, 84.9 dBA L eq at the nearest commercial property line to the west, 64.8 dBA L eq at the nearest commercial property line to the north, and 84.9 dBA L eq at the nearest commercial property line to the east of the project site.
Table 11 also includes a comparison of existing noise levels and project construction noise levels. Short-term noise measurement (STNM)3 was chosen to represent noise levels at the nearest property lines of the residential uses located to the south, STNM2 was chosen to represent noise levels at the nearest property lines of the commercial uses located to the west and east, and STNM1 was chosen to represent noise levels at the nearest property lines of the commercial uses located to the north of the project site.
Project construction is not expected to occur outside of the hours outlined in Section 7.35.020(G) of the City’s Municipal Code. Based on the modeled construction noise levels (see Table 11), construction noise levels are estimated to reach up to 65.4 dBA L eq at the nearest residential use and 84.9 dBA L eq at the nearest commercial use. Therefore, project construction activities will not exceed the daytime FTA residential construction noise standard of 80 dBA L eq for residential uses nor the daytime FTA commercial construction noise standard of 85 dBA L eq for commercial uses. The project impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.

Off-Site Vehicle Trips
Construction truck trips would occur throughout the construction period. Given the project site’s proximity to the 91 Freeway, it is anticipated that vendor and/or haul truck traffic would take the most direct route to the appropriate freeway ramps, east or west on Indiana Avenue to either Vanburen Boulevard or Tyler Street.
Vehicle emission noise associated with the 91 Freeway is the dominant noise source in the project area.
Indiana Avenue currently handles between approximately 9,363 and 9,924 average daily vehicle trips in the vicinity of the project site.5 As stated previously, a doubling of traffic volume would be anticipated to increase noise levels by approximately 3 dBA. Furthermore, it is widely accepted that the average healthy human ear can barely perceive changes of 3 dBA in an outdoor environment and that a change of 5 dBA is readily perceptible.6 Therefore, vehicle traffic generated during project construction would be anticipated to be nominal relative to existing roadway volumes and would not result in the doubling of traffic volume necessary to increase noise levels by 3 dBA. The project impact is less than significant; no mitigation is required.
Project Operational Noise
Onsite Noise Sources
The Leq (30-minute) noise levels associated with the proposed project were analyzed in order to determine project compliance with the City’s Stationary Exterior and Interior Noise Standards in Section 7.25.010(D) and Section 7.30.015 (C) of the City of Riverside Municipal Code and presented in Table 6 and Table 7 of this report. If noise modeling shows that the project is in compliance with the L eq criteria, it is unlikely that any of the other noise standards which are averaged over other time periods would be exceeded.
The project site is adjacent to or near several types of land uses including parcels zoned Business and Manufacturing Park, Mixed Use Village, and Medium Density Residential. Different noise criteria apply to each zoning designation as presented in Table 6 and Table 7. Operation of the proposed project would result in a substantial increase in noise levels if it would:
Exceed the day or nighttime exterior noise standards at residential land uses (55 and 45 dBA L eq respectively);
Exceed the day or nighttime interior noise standards at residential land uses (45 and 35 dBA L eq respectively);
Exceed the 65 dBA Leq exterior noise standard at commercial land uses; or Exceed the 70 dBA Leq exterior noise standard at Business and Manufacturing Park land uses.
Compliance with Leq (30-minute) Standard
There are single family residential land uses approximately 145 feet south of the project site. As shown on Figure 6 and on Figure 7 project generated on-site operational noise levels would reach 33.6 dBA L eq at the closest residence and would not exceed the City’s exterior noise day or nighttime noise standards of 55 and 45 dBA L eq, respectively. Given that the exterior noise level is expected to be lower than the daytime and nighttime interior noise standards of 45 and 35 dBA Leq, respectively, interior noise standards will also not be exceeded due to project generated noise.
There are existing concrete walls between the project site and the business park and mini storage land uses located east and west of the project site approximately 6 feet in height and, as shown in Figure 6, project

The segments of Indiana Avenue east and west of Harrison Street were utilized. https://riversideca.gov/publicworks/sites/riversideca.gov.publicworks/files/pdf/traffic-volume-counts_5-23-23.pdf 6 California Department of Transportation’s Technical Noise Supplement to the Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol (2013) 32 PR-2021-001026 (MCUP, DR) Exhibit 9 - Applicant Reponse to Appeal Letter

operational noise would range between 44.8 and 46.5 dBA L eq at adjacent land uses and would not exceed the City’s exterior noise standard of 70 dBA Leq at either of these uses.
Commercial land uses located north of the project site would be exposed to project operational noise levels up to 34.5 dBA L eq and would not exceed the City’s exterior noise standard for commercial land uses of 65 dBA Leq.
In no case would the project exceed the City’s applicable exterior noise standards for stationary noise sources.
Furthermore, as the measured existing ambient noise levels range between 53.8 to 69 dBA L eq, the project operational noise would not be noticeable over the existing noise environment. This impact is less than significant. No mitigation is required.
Offsite Noise Sources
The City of Riverside has adopted Land Use / Noise Compatibility Guidelines as shown in Table 5. Per these guidelines, noise levels that do not exceed 60 dBA CNEL are considered “normally acceptable” at single-family residential land uses, noise levels that do not exceed 65 dBA CNEL are considered to be “normally acceptable” at commercial land uses, and noise levels that do not exceed 70 dBA CNEL are considered to be “normally acceptable” at industrial land uses.
It is widely accepted that the average healthy human ear can barely perceive changes of 3 dBA in an outdoor environment and that a change of 5 dBA is readily perceptible. 7 Therefore, considering the above land use/noise compatibility guidelines, the project would result in a significant impact if:
The addition of project trips on surrounding roadways causes noise levels to increase by:
□ 5 dBA where the existing ambient noise level is less than or equal to a CNEL of 60 dBA; or, □ 3 dBA where the existing ambient noise level is a CNEL of 60 dBA to 65 dBA; or □ 1.5 dBA where the existing ambient noise level is greater than or equal to a 65 dBA CNEL.
Roadway noise levels were calculated along Indiana Avenue in the vicinity of the project site based on the FHWA Traffic Noise Prediction Model methodology. During operation, the proposed project is expected to generate approximately four average daily vehicle trips. Roadway noise levels were calculated for the following scenarios:
Existing (without Project): This scenario refers to existing year traffic noise conditions. Existing Plus Project: This scenario refers to existing year plus project traffic noise conditions.
Table 12 shows the change in existing roadway noise levels with the addition of project-generated operational trips. The modeled existing traffic noise level is 73 dBA CNEL and the modeled Existing Plus Project traffic noise level is 73 dBA CNEL at the right-of-way of the modeled roadway segment. FHWA Traffic Noise Prediction Model calculation worksheets are provided in Table 12. The addition of project trips is not expected to change noise levels in excess of the applicable threshold at any of the study roadway segments (see Table 12). The project impact is less than significant; no mitigation is required.
GROUNDBORNE VIBRATION IMPACTS
Would the project result in:
b) Generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels?

34 19631
Finding: Less Than Significant
In relation to the Environmental Checklist noise issue “b”, the City of Riverside has not established thresholds of significance concerning groundborne vibration. In the absence of City-established thresholds, groundborne vibration impacts are based on guidance from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual (FTA, September 2018) (see Regulatory Setting section). Accordingly, the project would result in a significant impact if:
Groundborne vibration levels generated by the project have the potential to cause architectural damage at nearby buildings by exceeding the following PPV:
□ 0.10 in/sec at buildings extremely susceptible to vibration damage □ 0.20 in/sec at non-engineered timber and masonry buildings □ 0.30 in/sec at engineered concrete and masonry (no plaster) buildings □ 0.50 in/sec at reinforced-concrete, steel or timber (no plaster) buildings Groundborne vibration levels generated by the project have the potential to cause annoyance at sensitive receptors by exceeding 80 VdB for infrequent events.
Groundborne vibration modeling worksheets are provided in Appendix G.
Existing structures in the immediate vicinity of the project site include adjacent commercial buildings (self- storage) along the western property line, commercial buildings located as close as approximately 95 feet north, 45 feet east, and the residential buildings located as close as approximately 163 feet to the south of the project site boundaries (see Table 13 for more detail).8
Groundborne vibrafion levels associated with project construcfion are provided in Table 13. Based on the groundborne vibrafion modeling, the use of a vibratory roller within 26 feet or the use of large bulldozers within 15 feet of the self-storage structures immediately west of the project site could potenfially result in architectural damage. However, no such use is proposed in connecfion with the Project. The project proposes installafion of a 26-foot-wide swath of concrete extending east from the western property line. The concrete swath will run the enfire length of the exisfing self-storage structure. Vibratory rollers and large bulldozers will not be required for concrete installafion. Potenfial risks to architectural features would be less than significant and no mifigafion is required. Therefore, based on the groundborne vibrafion modeling, and as shown in Table 13, the project has no potenfial to result in architectural damage to surrounding structures.
The most substantial sources of groundborne vibration during post-construction project operations will include the movement of passenger vehicles and trucks on paved and generally smooth surfaces. Loaded trucks generally have a PPV of 0.076 at a distance of 25 feet (Caltrans 2020), which is a substantially lower PPV than that of a vibratory roller (0.210 in/sec PPV at 25 feet). Therefore, groundborne vibration levels generated by project operation would not exceed those modeled for project construction.
As stated previously, annoyance due to groundborne vibration associated with infrequent events can cause annoyance at 80 VdB. The VdB generated by construction equipment may reach up to 70.2 VdB at the nearest sensitive receptor (residences to the south). This impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
8 For modeling purposes, as the commercial use to the west of the project site has structures located adjacent to the project’s western property line, a distance of one foot has been utilized in the modeling. 34 PR-2021-001026 (MCUP, DR) Exhibit 9 - Applicant Reponse to Appeal Letter

AIR TRAFFIC IMPACTS
Would the project result in:
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 area to excessive noise levels?
Finding: No Impact
The closest airport to the project site is the Riverside Municipal Airport, with airport runways located as close as approximately 2.7 miles to the northeast of the project site. Per the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) Policy Document Map RI-3 (March 2005), the project site is also well outside the 55 dBA CNEL noise contour for the Riverside Municipal Airport. 9 The project would not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels associated with airports. This impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.

(3) The FTA identifies the threshold at which there is a risk to “architectural” damage to non-engineered timber and masonry buildings as a PPV of 0.2 in/sec (see Table 4). In addition, the FTA identifies a vibration annoyance threshold of 72 VdB for residential uses (see Table 3). Per the FTA Transit Noise and VIbration Impact Assessment Manual (September 2018), commercial uses are not considered vibration-sensitive land uses; therefore, the annoyance threshold does not apply to commercial uses. (2) Vibration levels are provided in PPV in/sec for architectural damage and VdB for annoyance.

Ambient Noise
Level
The all-encompassing noise environment associated with a given environment, at a specified time, usually a composite of sound from many sources, at many directions, near and far, in which usually no particular sound is dominant.
A-Weighted Sound
Level, dBA
The sound level obtained by use of A-weighting. The A-weighting filter de-emphasizes the very low and very high frequency components of the sound in a manner similar to the frequency response of the human ear.
CNEL
Community Noise Equivalent Level. CNEL is a weighted 24-hour noise level that is obtained by adding five decibels to sound levels in the evening (7:00 PM to 10:00 PM), and by adding ten decibels to sound levels at night (10:00 PM to 7:00 AM). This weighting accounts for the increased human sensitivity to noise during the evening and nighttime hours.
Decibel, dB
A logarithmic unit of noise level measurement that relates the energy of a noise source to that of a constant reference level; the number of decibels is 10 times the logarithm (to the base 10) of this ratio.
DNL, Ldn
Day Night Level. The DNL, or Ldn is a weighted 24-hour noise level that is obtained by adding ten decibels to sound levels at night (10:00 PM to 7:00 AM). This weighting accounts for the increased human sensitivity to noise during the nighttime hours.
Equivalent
Continuous Noise
Level, Leq
A level of steady state sound that in a stated time period, and a stated location, has the same A-weighted sound energy as the time-varying sound.
Fast/Slow Meter
Response
The fast and slow meter responses are different settings on a sound level meter. The fast response setting takes a measurement every 100 milliseconds, while a slow setting takes one every second.
Frequency, Hertz In a function periodic in time, the number of times that the quantity repeats itself in one second (i.e., the number of cycles per second).
L02, L08, L50, L90 The A-weighted noise levels that are equaled or exceeded by a fluctuating sound level, 2 percent, 8 percent, 50 percent, and 90 percent of a stated time period, respectively.
Lmax, Lmin
Lmax is the RMS (root mean squared) maximum level of a noise source or environment measured on a sound level meter, during a designated time interval, using fast meter response. Lmin is the minimum level.
Offensive/
Offending/Intrusive
Noise
The noise that intrudes over and above the existing ambient noise at a given location.
The relative intrusiveness of sound depends on its amplitude, duration, frequency, and time of occurrence, and tonal information content as well as the prevailing ambient noise level.
Root Mean Square
(RMS)
A measure of the magnitude of a varying noise source quantity. The name derives from the calculation of the square root of the mean of the squares of the values. It can be calculated from either a series of lone values or a continuous varying function.

RE: Richardson RV Storage Air Quality Technical Memorandum Project No. 19631
Dear Mr. Richardson:
Ganddini Group, Inc. is pleased to provide this Air Quality Technical Memorandum for the Richardson RV Storage project. The 1.0-acre project site is located at 10030 Indiana Avenue , in the City of Riverside, California. The proposed project is currently developed with an existing 1,351 square foot residence. A project location map, showing the project’s location, is provided on Figure 1. A glossary is provided in Appendix A to assist the reader with technical terms related to this air quality analysis.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of a Minor Conditional Use Permit and a Design Review for an Outdoor Storage Yard and the conversion of an existing 1,351 square foot residence into an office for Richardson’s RV storage. The development consists of:
▪ Paving approximately 33,763 square feet of the lot for outdoor storage purposes; ▪ Striping forty-five 9 x 35-foot stalls for storage of vehicles; ▪ Conversion of the existing residence into an office;
▪ Construction of fences and walls; and
▪ Landscaping
The business will operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with four employees on -site.
Recreational vehicles and trailers will be transported to and from the storage yard as required for inventory control. Plans indicate the storage yard will be secured and screened as follows:
▪ A new 6-foot-high opaque tubular steel fence and opaque rolling gate on the north side of the storage yard;
▪ A combination of an existing 5 -foot-high decorative stucco perimeter wall and ne w 10 -foot-high decorative opaque metal fence along the east side property line; ▪ A combination of an existing 6-foot-high CMU wall and new landscaping along the south property line, adjacent to the AT&SF Railroad; and
▪ An existing self-storage building along the west side property line.
No sales of recreational vehicles, maintenance, washing or fueling are proposed to take place on -site. The project site plan is shown on Figure 2. Table 1 shows the SCAQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds.

LONG-TERM AIR QUALITY OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
An analysis of the potential long-term air quality impacts due to operations of the proposed project has been completed. The operations -related criteria air quality impacts created by the proposed project have been analyzed through use of the CalEEMod model. The operating emissions were based on the year 2023, which is the anticipated opening year for th e proposed project . CalEEMod output is shown in Appendix B. The CalEEMod analyzes operational emissions from area sources, energy usage, and mobile sources, which are discussed below.
METHODOLOGY
Mobile Sources
Mobile sources include emissions from the additional vehicle miles generated from the proposed project. The vehicle trips associated with the proposed project have been analyzed by inputting the estimated project- generated vehicular trips (trip generation rate) provided by the project applicant into the CalEEMod Model.
As stated by the project applicant, the proposed use is for a consumer RV and travel trailer storage yard which has a low associated vehicle trip rate. In addition, the project’s associated retail sales yard is located at 10717 Indiana Avenue, which is less than a mile from the project site, and the vehicle trips associated with the proposed project occur between the project site and this location. Based on these project operational details, it is assumed that the proposed project would have up to four vehicle trips per day. Therefore, the proposed project was modeled with a trip generation rate of 2.96 trips per thousand square foot per day.1 The program then applies the emission factors for each trip which is provided by the EMFAC2021 model to determine the vehicular traffic pollutant emissions. To be conservative, the CalEEMod default trip lengths were used in this analysis.
Area Sources
Area sources include emissions from hearths, consumer products, landscape equipment and architectural coatings. No changes were made to the default area source parameters.
Energy Usage
Energy usage includes emissions from the generation of electricity and natural gas used on-site. No changes were made to the default energy usage parameters.
OPERATIONAL-RELATED REGIONAL AIR QUALITY IMPACTS
The maximum daily pollutant emissions created from the proposed project’s long-term operations have been calculated and are summarized below in Table 2. Table 2 shows that none of the analyzed criteria pollutants would exceed the regional emissions thresholds. Therefore, a less than significant regional air quality impact would occur from the operation of the proposed project.
1 The project’s office building is 1,351 square feet; therefore, 4 trips per 1.351 thousand square feet results in 2.96 trips per thousand square foot per day.

OPERATIONS-RELATED LOCAL AIR QUALITY IMPACTS
Project-related air emissions may have the potential to exceed the State and Federal air quality standards in the project vicinity, even though these pollutant emissions may not be significant enough to create a regional impact to the South Coast Air Basin. The proposed project has been analyzed for the potential local CO emission impacts from the project -generated vehicular trips and from the potential local air quality impacts from on-site operations. The following analysis analyzes the vehicular CO emissions, local impacts from on - site operations per SCAQMD LST methodology, and odor impacts.
Local CO Emission Impacts from Project-Generated Vehicular Trips
CO is the pollutant of major concern along roadways because the most notable source of CO is motor vehicles.
For this reason, CO concentrations are usually indicative of the local air quality generated by a roadway network and are used as an indicator of potential l ocal air quality impacts. Local air quality impacts can be assessed by comparing future without and with project CO levels to the State and Federal CO standards which were presented above.
To determine if the proposed project could cause emission levels i n excess of the CO standards discussed above, a sensitivity analysis is typically conducted to determine the potential for CO “hot spots” at a number of intersections in the general project vicinity. Because of reduced speeds and vehicle queuing, “hot spot s” potentially can occur at high traffic volume intersections with a Level of Service E or worse.
The analysis prepared for CO attainment in the South Coast Air Basin by the SCAQMD can be used to assist in evaluating the potential for CO exceedances in the South Coast Air Basin. CO attainment was thoroughly analyzed as part of the SCAQMD's 2003 Air Quality Management Plan (2003 AQMP) and the 1992 Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide (1992 CO Plan). As discussed in the 1992 CO Plan, peak carbon monoxide concentrations in the South Coast Air Basin are due to unusual meteorological and topographical conditions, and not due to the impact of particular intersections. Considering the region’s unique meteorological conditions and the increasingly stringent CO emissions standards, CO modeling was performed as part of 1992 CO Plan and subsequent plan updates and air quality management plans. In the 1992 CO Plan, a CO hot spot analysis was conducted for four busy intersections in Los Angeles at the peak morning and afternoon time periods. The intersections evaluated included: South Long Beach Boulevard and Imperial Highway (Lynwood); Wilshire Boulevard and Veteran Avenue (Westwood); Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue (Hollywood); and La Cienega Boulevard and Century Boulevard (Inglewood). These analyses did not predict a violation of CO standards. The busiest intersection evaluated was that at Wilshire Boulevard and Veteran Avenue, which has a daily traffic volume of approximately 100,000 vehicles per day. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority evaluated the Level of Service in the vicinity of the Wilshire Boulevard/Veteran Avenue intersection and found it to be Level of Service E during the morning peak hour and Level of Service F during the afternoon peak hour.
Per the project applicant, the proposed project would generate a maximum of approximately 4 daily vehicle trips. The 1992 Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide (1992 CO Plan) showed that an intersection which has a daily traffic volume of approximately 100,000 vehicles per day would not violate the CO standard.
Therefore, as the project generates up to only 4 vehicle trips per day, the intersection volume will fall far short of 100,000 vehicles per day, no CO “hot spot” modeli ng was performed, and no significant long -term air quality impact is anticipated to local air quality with the on-going use of the proposed project.

Local Air Quality Impacts from On-Site Operations
Project-related air emissions from on-site sources such as architectural coatings, landscaping equipment, on- site usage of natural gas appliances as well as the operation of vehicles on -site may have the potential to exceed the State and Federal air quality standards in the project vicinity, even though thes e pollutant emissions may not be significant enough to create a regional impact to the South Coast Air Basin. The nearest sensitive receptors that may be impacted by the proposed project are the existing single-family residential land uses located approximately 145 feet (~44 meters) to the south (along Rhinelander Drive) and 465 feet (~142 meters) to the northwest (along the northern side of Diana Avenue) of the project.
The local air quality emissions from on-site operations were analyzed according to the methodology described in Localized Significance Threshold Methodology , prepared by SCAQMD, revised July 2008. The Look -up Tables were developed by the SCAQMD in order to readily determine if the daily e missions of CO, NOx, PM10, and PM2.5 from the proposed project could result in a significant impact to the local air quality. Per SCAQMD staff, the 5-acre Look-up Table, which is the largest site available, can be used as a conservative screening analysis for on-site operational emissions to determine whether more-detailed dispersion modeling would be necessary. The proposed project was analyzed based on the Metropolitan Riverside County source receptor area (SRA) 23 and, as the project site is approximately one-acre, used the thresholds for a one-acre project site.
Table 3 shows the on-site emissions from the CalEEMod model that includes natural gas usage, landscape maintenance equipment, and vehicles operating on -site and the calculated emissions threshol ds. Per LST methodology, mobile emissions include only on-site sources which equate to approximately 10 percent of the project-related new mobile sources.2 The data provided in Table 3 shows that the on-going operations of the proposed project would not exceed SCAQMD local operational thresholds of significance discussed above.
Therefore, the on-going operations of the proposed project would create a less than significant operations- related impact to local air quality due to on-site emissions and no mitigation would be required.
2 The project site is approximately 0.11 miles in length at its longest point; therefore the on -site mobile source emissions represent approximately 1/55th of the shortest CalEEMod default distance of 6.11 miles. Therefore, to be conservative, 1/10th the dis tance (dividing the mobile source emissions by 10) was used to represent the portion of the overall mobile source emissions that would occur on-site.

6. Climate Risk Detailed Report
6.1. Climate Risk Summary
Cal-Adapt midcentury 2040–2059 average projections for four hazards are reported below for your project location. These are under Representation Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 which assumes GHG emissions
will continue to rise strongly through 2050 and then plateau around 2100.
Climate Hazard Result for Project Location Unit
Temperature and Extreme Heat 25.1 annual days of extreme heat Extreme Precipitation 2.00 annual days with precipitation above 20 mm Sea Level Rise 0.00 meters of inundation depth
Wildfire 3.16 annual hectares burned

Temperature and Extreme Heat data are for grid cell in which your project are located. The projection is based on the 98th historical percentile of daily maximum/minimum temperatures from observed histor
ical data (32 climate model ensemble from Cal-Adapt, 2040–2059 average under RCP 8.5). Each grid cell is 6 kilometers (km) by 6 km, or 3.7 miles (mi) by 3.7 mi.
Extreme Precipitation data are for the grid cell in which your project are located. The threshold of 20 mm is equivalent to about ¾ an inch of rain, which would be light to moderate rainfall if received over a full da
y or heavy rain if received over a period of 2 to 4 hours. Each grid cell is 6 kilometers (km) by 6 km, or 3.7 miles (mi) by 3.7 mi.
Sea Level Rise data are for the grid cell in which your project are located. The projections are from Radke et al. (2017), as reported in Cal-Adapt (2040–2059 average under RCP 8.5), and consider different increments
of sea level rise coupled with extreme storm events. Users may select from four model simulations to view the range in potential inundation depth for the grid cell. The four simulations make different assumptions about expected rainfall and temperature are: Warmer/drier (HadGEM2-ES), Cooler/wetter (CNRM-CM5), Average conditions (CanESM2), Range of different rainfall and temperature possibilities (MIROC5). Each grid cell is 50 meters (m) by 50 m, or about 164 feet (ft) by 164 ft.
Wildfire data are for the grid cell in which your project are located. The projections are from UC Davis, as reported in Cal-Adapt (2040–2059 average under RCP 8.5), and consider historical data of climate, v
egetation, population density, and large (> 400 ha) fire history. Users may select from four model simulations to view the range in potential wildfire probabilities for the grid cell. The four simulations make different assumptions about expected rainfall and temperature are: Warmer/drier (HadGEM2-ES), Cooler/wetter (CNRM-CM5), Average conditions (CanESM2), Range of different rainfall and temperature possibilities (MIROC5). Each grid cell is 6 kilometers (km) by 6 km, or 3.7 miles (mi) by 3.7 mi.
