Planning Commission Review of Land Use Map Land Use Map • Planning Commission concurred with most GPAC recommendations GPAC recommendations • Exceptions include: – Consider area along Mureau Road for future annexation – No Mixed Use designation on Gelson’s, Calabasas Inn, or City Hall sites – Reconsider mixed use district in Agoura/Las R id i d di t i t i A /L Virgenes area

Noise Element Purpose : To limit the exposure of the community to excessive noise levels. General Requirements : • Analyze and quantify noise levels and the extent of noise exposure through y q y p g measurement or noise modeling. • Establish a set of noise control policies and programs. • Map noise level contours and use conclusions of the element as a basis for land use decisions. • Implement measures and possible solutions to existing and foreseeable noise problems. • Policies and standards serve as a guideline for compliance with sound transmission control requirements. q (Source: General Plan Guidelines, 2003)

Noise Terminology • Decibel (dB) – basic measurement unit; l logarithmic ith i • A-weighted decibel (dBA) – dB adjusted to be consistent with human response b i t t ith h • Ambient Noise – background noise level against which impacts measured i t hi h i t d • Equivalent Noise Level (Leq) – average noise level over a given time period

Noise Terminology (cont’d) • Day-Night Noise Level (Ldn) – 24-hour time weighted average noise level with 10 dB weighted average noise level with 10 dB nighttime penalty • Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) – 24-hour time weighted average noise level with 24 h ti i ht d i l l ith 10 dB nighttime penalty & 5 dB evening penalty • L10, L50, L90, etc. – noise level exceeded a , , , certain percentage of time (e.g., L90 is level exceed 90% of the time) • Noise Sensitive Uses • Noise Sensitive Uses – residences, schools, residences schools nursing homes

Noise Facts • 3 dBA increase in noise represents doubling of sound energy of sound energy • Noise increases of 1-2 dBA generally not noticeable noticeable • Ambient noise of 45-50 dBA typical for “quiet” suburban setting; 60-70 dBA ambient typical suburban setting; 60 70 dBA ambient typical for urban setting • 15% of people report being “highly annoyed” 15% of people report being highly annoyed by noise over 65 dBA

Existing Noise Level Summary

Existing Noise Contours

Responses from GPAC Homework: Noise GPAC Homework: Noise • Open space definition should include “low density development areas” (suggested revision to development areas (suggested revision to approach) • Independent experts or consultants to perform p p p noise studies (suggested revision to Policy D1) • Acceptable measures and conditions to be approved by the Planning Commission rather than the Planning Director (suggested revision to Policy D2) D2)

Noise Regulation in Calabasas • No new state standards or requirements since 1995 1995 • Noise section of Environmental Hazards chapter provides standards provides standards – Based on two different noise metrics (CNEL & Leq) – Application of standards unclear pp • New development or new and existing? • All noise sources or only onsite sources? • No noise ordinance; only standards for alarm N i di l t d d f l systems

Current Noise Objective Objective: Objective: Achieve and maintain noise compatible land use relationships consistent with the nature use relationships consistent with the nature and character of individual land uses within the General Plan study area as outlined in the General Plan study area as outlined in Table VI-2.

Table VI-2

Current Noise Policies Policies: i) If i) If a proposed development project which will create or impact d d l j hi h ill i existing noise sensitive land uses is proposed in a location that is within a 60 dBA or greater CNEL noise contour, require that the project applicant demonstrate that 1) no adverse noise effects on adjacent uses will occur from the project and that 2) no adverse dj t ill f th j t d th t 2) d effects will occur on the project from adjacent influences. ii) Use the Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise Environments ii) Use the Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise Environments matrix (Figure V-4 of the Community Profile) to determine the compatibility of land use when evaluating proposed new land uses in the City. The matrix shall be used as a guide to assist in determining the acceptability of noise for existing or proposed land determining the acceptability of noise for existing or proposed land use.
