EVALUATION FOR <br />AGENCY USE ONLY <br />Short-term noise would be generated by any future construction on the site. Noise <br />generated from construction equipment would occur. These generators are <br />usually of short duration and restricted to hours per Everett Municipal Code (EMC <br />20.08). The short-teiun increase and duration of noise levels would depend on the <br />type of construction equipment being used and the amount of time it is in steady <br />use (demolition and redevelopment). For example, at 200 feet from the area of <br />construction, the equivalent sound level (Leq, a measure of long -teen average <br />noise exposure) for activities and equipment would be approximately the <br />following: <br />Types of Equipment <br />Bulldozer <br />Dump Truck <br />Paver <br />Activity <br />Grading <br />Finishing <br />Range of Noise Levels <br />65-84 <br />70-82 <br />74-76 <br />Range of Hourly Leq (in decibels*) <br />63-76 <br />62-77 <br />* Decibels - The decibel (abbreviated dB) is the unit used to measure the intensity of a sound <br />Noise Levels would vary due to the type and usage of the equipment. Construction <br />noises are only generated during those times and are usually of short duration for <br />each activity. <br />Long-term noise sources are those associated with the site use, including building <br />functions, on -site vehicles and any outdoor recreational areas that may be <br />provided. <br />3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: <br />The Docket Application request has no anticipated impact to this environmental <br />element. This proposal is limited to an evaluation of impacts related to a <br />comprehensive plan amendment request and concurrent rezone (with removal of <br />the HO). Impacts on Environmental Health (including Noise impact mitigation <br />measures) would be reviewed in conjunction with a future land -use proposal in <br />accordance with City development regulations. Future development of the <br />property would meet the requirements of EMC Chapter 20.08 Noise Control <br />8. LAND AND SHORELINE USE <br />a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties? Will the proposal <br />affect current land uses on nearby or adjacent properties? If so, describe. <br />The site contains an informal grass field. The site is used by the adjacent community <br />for casual recreational uses. Adjacent uses are residential, which includes both multi- <br />family and single-family development. Sequoia High School is within the immediate <br />area to the north/northeast of the site and includes a large maintained playfield and <br />Environmental Checklist — Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Concurrent Rezone <br />BRENT PLANNING SOLUTIONS, LLC FOR HOUSING HOPE <br />23 <br />AUGUST 2020 REV'D <br />
