available to reduce existing exterior noise levels to a level that
would be considered acceptable for residential land uses.
Implementation of mitigation measures MM4.3 -6 and MM4.3 -7
would ensure that the existing aviation easement remains in place
and future residents are informed of the potential annoyances
associated with proximity to LAX, respectively, but does not
reduce excessive exterior noise levels. Accordingly, the proposed
projects contribution would be considered cumulatively significant.
(2) Airport Noise. The proposed project site and the surrounding
area is located within the noise impact boundary for LAX and as a
consequence future residents of the proposed project would be
exposed to existing exterior noise levels that exceed established
standards for residents. Future residential projects may also be
located within noise impact boundary for LAX, exposing additional
residential to noise levels that exceed the normally acceptable
development standard due the proximity to the LAX. No mitigation
is available to reduce existing exterior noise levels to a level that
would be considered acceptable for residential land uses.
Implementation of mitigation measures MM4.3 -6 and MM4.3 -7
would ensure that the existing aviation easement remains in place
and future residents are informed of the potential annoyances
associated with proximity to LAX, respectively, but does not
reduce excessive exterior noise levels. As development of the
proposed project would result in the exposure of on -site noise
sensitive uses to an increase in noise levels, the contribution
would be considered cumulatively significant.
b) Finding:
The City Council finds that the cumulative noise impacts cannot
be mitigated to a less- than - significant level and a significant and
unavoidable cumulative impact would occur, as identified in the
FEIR.
Growth Inducing Impacts
The City Council finds on the basis of the Initial Study, FEIR, and the record of
proceedings in this matter, that there are no growth inducing impacts.
Project Alternatives
Reasonable Range of Alternatives
The proposed project analyzes two project options in equal detail
throughout the FEIR and analyzes two potential alternative designs and
one no project alternative. Thus the analysis in the FEIR fulfills CEQA
Guidelines ยง 15126.6 which requires that the FEIR "describe a range of
reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project,
which would feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project but
would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the
project, and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives."
