6 . Impact mitigation. The zoning of the property is a separate action from the approval of a specific land use proposal on either or both of the annexed sites. Any subsequent land use proposal will be subject to the standards of the zoning classification is assigned to the property, and to the SEPA environmental review process. Mitigation of impacts that could result from any future land use can be more specifically addressed on a project specific basis, in response to the particular use or uses of land which may be proposed. 7. On a theoretical basis, industrial zoning is not considered the most compatible zone when contiguous to residential areas. However, in consideration of the factors listed above, C-2 (Heavy Commercial-Light Industrial) zoning is the appropriate zoning for the subject properties regardless of the land uses developed upon or the zoning assigned to the properties located across East Marine View Drive. rnnnlnsinn: The C-2 zone will promote land uses which are compatible with surrounding uses and zoning classifications. B. Noise Levels. Finding: The City Council asked the Planning Commission to consider noise impacts expected from different industrial zones. It could be generally stated that noise levels resulting from C-2 zone activities would be similar to those of the M-M and M-1 zones, and less than those expected from M-2 zone activities. However, it is necessary to compare the noise levels which would result from specific noise generators, irrespective of zone classification. The following table indicates the typical noise levels for different noise generating acitivites. NOISE SOURCE NOISE LEVEL (Dba) jet engine 120 truck traffic 90 heavy mechanical equipment 80-90 busy arterial street 75-80 outdoor industrial uses 65-75 collector street 60-65 quiet residential area 50 Noise levels are approximate.
