that materials that do not require painting be used during
construction to the extent feasible. Contract specifications must be
included in the proposed project construction documents, which
must be approved by the City of El Segundo before grading
permits are issued.

C) Finding:
The City Council finds that construction - related air quality
environmental impacts cannot be mitigated below the threshold of
significance for the proposed project and a significant and
unavoidable impact would occur, as identified in the FEIR.
2. Noise (DEIR)
a) Facts /Effects:
(1) Excessive Exterior Noise Levels (Operation). Option 1 and
Option 2 of the proposed project would result in the construction of
noise - sensitive residential uses on a site where exterior noise
levels currently exceed established noise standards considered
normally or conditionally acceptable for residential uses due to the
project site's proximity to LAX. Mitigation measure MM4.3 -6 would
ensure that the existing aviation easement granted to the City of
Los Angeles as proprietor of LAX would remain in place with
implementation of the proposed project and MM4.3 -7 would
ensure that prospective owners and occupants of the project site
were adequately informed of the potential annoyances associated
with proximity to LAX. However, mitigation measures MM4.3 -6
and MM4.3 -7 would not reduce existing exterior noise levels to a
level that would be considered normally acceptable for residential
land uses. As such, the proposed project would expose persons to
noise levels that exceed established standards. Therefore,
impacts are significant and unavoidable and no additional feasible
mitigation is available.
(2) Airport Noise. The proposed project site is located within the
noise impact boundary for LAX and exterior noise levels at the
project site currently exceed noise levels considered normally or
conditionally acceptable for residential uses. Because the
proposed project would result in the construction of new
residences on a site within the noise impact boundary, the
proposed project is subject to El Segundo Municipal Code § 13 -1-
4 (Residential Noise Insulation Standards) which requires that
interior noise levels do not exceed 45 dBA CNEL within new
residences. To ensure that the project complies with the El
