11. The Final EIR for the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan identified areas along
Drive where noise impacts from circulation element roadways with a six f;
barrier in place would exceed 60 dBA CNEL (and register less than 65 dB1
and determined these were not significant. Noise barriers would ha1
constructed between 7' and 10' feet in height and setbacks would have to b
125' from the right of way to achieve a 60 dBA CNEL register.
considerations regarding visual impact and economic viability make these 1
infeasible to avoid the environmental effect of noise. The Noise Element of
of Carlsbad General Plan requires the use of project design techniques
increasing the distance between the noise source and the receiver, placing n
sensitive uses such as parking areas between the source and the receiver, u
noise sensitive structures to shield noise sensitive areas, and orienting bui!
shield outdoor spaces from noise source to minimize noise impacts. All
techniques have been incorporated into the project to substantially lessen t
of noise without mitigating to the 60 dBA CNEL exterior noise level il
within Land Use Policy C.5 of the Noise Element.
