unit senior housing project and new parking standard within Planning Area 4 and
Planning Area 5 of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On February 14, 2005, the City Council approved development of 1,077 residential
units for the site that encompasses Planning Area 4 and 5 of MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan known as Columbus Square. The project required 266 affordable units including
153 units provided in a 242-unit senior housing project that was not approved due to
site/architectural design and parking issues. The applicant entered into a Housing
Incentive Agreement with the City to satisfy the affordable housing obligations for
Columbus Square project site (Tentative Tract Map 16581). However, with the tentative
tract map approval, the developer was required to submit a design review and
conditional use permit application for the senior housing project under a separate
review. This request includes the revised site and architectural design for the senior
housing and a new parking standard. Since the number of affordable units provided
with this application is consistent with the number required under the Housing Incentive
Agreement, no amendment to the agreement is required.
The site is a nine (9) acre parcel within the 105.5 acre community to be subdivided by
Final Tract Map 16581 (Columbus Square).
The project site is bounded by Edinger Avenue on the north, the future fire station site on
the east and future residential development on the south and west that are currently under
construction (Attachment A - Location Map).
Desian Review 05-019
Site Design
The site is designed with two vehicular accesses: one immediately north of the main
entry to Columbus Square on West Connector Road and another further west across
from carriage way detached units, which serves as the main entry to the site. Full
circulation is provided throughout the site for emergency fire access (Attachment B -
Submitted Plans).
The 240 units are divided into ten (10) three story buildings. The buildings are designed
as u-shaped clusters containing twenty-four (24) units and are separated by either a
minimum of twenty-six (26) feet of open space or a two way drive with landscaping,
parking, and sidewalks.
Landscaping
In addition to the required landscape setbacks along Edinger Avenue and the West
Connector, twenty-eight (28) percent landscaping will be provided throughout the site
Planning Commission Report
Lennar Senior Housing

including two park sites for a total of 2.57 acres of open space, or 467 square feet of
open space per unit. The minimum requirement for open space is 400 square feet per
unit.
The pool park is located across the main entry and includes a pool/spa, a shade
structure, and a pool house with restrooms and pool equipment room. The main park is
located at the perimeter of the site and the open lawn areas will be visible and open to
other residential communities in the vicinity of the project. This park includes a multi-
functional recreational building with a courtyard, an office, and restrooms.
Building Design/Architecture
The project site includes ten (10) three-story cluster buildings each containing twenty-
four (24) senior residential units. Each cluster includes twenty (20) single car garage
spaces and four (4) residential units on the ground floor and twenty (20) units on the
second and third floors. For safety and convenience, the garages are designed with an
interior access to the main corridors. Fourteen (14) of the garages take vehicular
access from an interior courtyard and six (6) from the private streets. The main lobby,
elevator, and trash chutes are located at the center of the building and within a
reasonable distance from all units. In addition to the trash chutes, recycling bins are
located on the ground floor of each building.
The main entry leading to the lobby includes a small veranda that is separated from the
street with an ornate wrought iron gate. The elevator tower is designed with decorative
brackets and capped with a decorative cupola that is the focal point of the building. This
element is also duplicated in the design of the pool building and the recreation center.
The buildings are designed with stucco and brick veneer on the first and second floors
and wood siding on the third floor. The doors and windows are enhanced with wood
shutters and Fypon millwork moldings. The balconies and ground floor patios include
wrought iron railings that are compatible with the Colonial and Georgian architectural
styles of other residential buildings in Columbus Square.
Affordable Housing
Approval of Tentative Tract Map 16581 included the requirement of providing 266
affordable units as follows:
Planning Area 4:
8 units for Very Low Income (moved 8 units to PAS)
48 units for Low Income
16 units for Moderate Income (moved 14 units to PA5)
Total: 72 units
Planning Commission Report
Lennar Senior Housing
January 23, 2006
Page 4
Planning Area 5:
53 units for Very Low Income (37 units + 8 units from PA 4 + 8 units from PA 21)
77 units for Low Income (60 units + 17 from PA 21)
64 units for Moderate Income (50 units + 14 from PA 4)
Total: 194 units
The senior housing project was required to provide a total of 153 affordable units. Each
building will include 15 or 18 affordable units. The affordable units include one bedroom
and two bedroom units that are dispersed thought the project site as follows:
Plan Tvpe No. of Bedrooms Size No. of Units Income Cateaorv
Plan 1 1 bedroom/1 bath 662 sq.ft. 36 units Very Low
Plan 1 1 bedroom/1 bath 662 sq.ft. 44 units Low
Plan 2 2 bedroom/2 bath 905 sq.ft. 17 units Low
Plan 2 2 bedroom/2 bath 905 sq.ft. 23 units Moderate
Plan 3 2 bedroom/2 bath 907 sq.ft. 30 units Moderate
Plan 4 2 bedroom/2 bath 955 sq.ft. 3 units Moderate
Conditional Use Permit 05-037
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan does not distinguish between senior housing and other
residential uses with respect to parking standards; 2.25 parking spaces per unit would
be required. In accordance with Condition 2.2 of Resolution No. 05-40 for approval of
Tentative Tract Map 16581, any deviation from the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan parking
standards for the senior housing would require approval of a conditional use permit.
The applicant has proposed a parking ratio of 1.7 parking spaces per unit.
A parking demand analysis was submitted by the applicant, which considered trip
generation for senior housing units and referred to several examples from other cities
(Attachment C - Parking Analysis). The parking ratio in the noted cities ranged from
0.60 to 1.5 per parking spaces per unit. The study determined that the parking demand
for senior housing and affordable residential projects is typically lower than family
housing and market rate housing development and the proposed ratio of 1.7 parking
space per unit was considered to be consistent with the recommendations of the Urban
Land Institute (ULI) and exceeds the recommended ratio by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE). The parking study was reviewed by the Public Works
Department and was found to contain sufficient technical data to support the conclusion
that the proposed parking supply is adequate to serve the proposed development.
Condition 9.1 is included to ensure that the use of the site will remain as condominium
senior housing with 153 affordable units.
Noise Analvsis! Sound Walls
With approval of the Columbus Square project, a noise analysis was prepared that
recommended installation of a seven (7) foot masonry block wall along Edinger Avenue,
West Connector, and the fire station site (Attachment D - Noise Analysis). A supplemental
noise analysis was prepared for the senior housing site that reiterated the same mitigation
measures for traffic and train noise at the perimeter of the property as previously
Planning Commission Report
Lennar Senior Housing
January 23, 2006
Page 5
City's requirement of interior noise standard. The Study recommended use of 7/8 inch
stucco or Hardiplank siding over 3/8 inch plywood on the exterior with R-11 insulation and
two layers for ~ inch minimum gypsum wallboard on the interior. The Study also requires
specific window and door assemblies and well-fitted joints to provide a minimum outdoor-
indoor transmission class (OITC) of 37 for the proposed structures. Condition 11.1, 11.2
and 11.3 require that these noise mitigation measures be included in the plan check
submittals and adhered to during construction.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final Environmental
Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS
Tustin (FEIS/EIR). In addition, the City Council certified a separate environmental check
list for the Columbus Square project with approval of Tentative Tract Map 16581 which
considered the senior housing site and noted that no additional impacts were
anticipated.
A decision to approve the proposed project may be supported by the findings contained
in Resolution No. 4014

INTRODUCTION
Lennar Homes - Orange Coast Land proposes to construct a residential project in Tustin
California. The project, Columbus Square Senior Village, would include 240 condominium
dwelling units that would be restricted to seniors. The project would also include a recreation
center whose use would be limited to residents of the project. A total of 64% of the project
dwelling units (du) would be allocated as affordable units. Figure 1 shows the site plan for the
proposed project.
The project, located on the west side of Edinger Avenue between Red Hill Avenue and
Jamboree Road just north of West Connector, proposes to supply a total of 421 parking spaces
(sp) to serve the 240 dwelling units in the following format:
Covered Garage 200 sp
Carport 40 sp
On-site uncovered 124 sp
On-street 39 sp
Disabled 5 sp
Recreation Center 12 sp
Rec Center Disabled 1 SP
Total 421 sp
The proposed parking supply equates to 1.7 sp/du.
City staff is concerned that the proposed parking supply may not be adequate to meet the
overall parking demand of the project. This report investigates the parking demand patterns at
residential projects, concentrating on parking at condominiums and affordable units. Where
available, the parking demand patterns at condominiums and affordable units focused on
seniors are discussed.

FIGURE 1
PROJECT SITE PLAN
The report is divided into discussions of parking code requirements and parking demand
studies.
3
II.
PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS
Senior and affordable residential projects typically have lower parking demand ratios than
comparably sized market rate housing developments that serve a mixture of tenants including
families. The number of occupants per du is typically lower at senior housing developments
than at market rate projects where families may occupy a portion of the units. The reduced
occupancies often lead to a reduction in the number of automobiles per unit, resulting in a lower
overall parking demand ratio. Surveys 1 have shown that 5-10% of the units in a senior housing
development have no automobile at all, further reducing the overall parking demand
requirements.
CITY CODES - MARKET RATE HOUSING
Many cities and counties recognize the difference between market rate housing and senior
and/or affordable units by reducing the amount of parking required for these types of
developments.
Table 1 shows a summary of parking ratios and required parking supplies for a sample market
rate development of 100 du made up of 10 studios, 40 one-bedroom units, 40 two-bedroom
units, and 10 three-bedroom units. The required parking for the development would range from
125 to 325 spaces, with Tustin requiring 225 spaces. As can be seen, Tustin is near the top of
the list in terms of the most stringent requirements.
The parking rates shown in Table 1 apply to market rate developments with no discounts for
seniors or for affordable housing.

See Appendix for full report
CITY CODES - SENIOR HOUSING
Table 2 shows parking requirements for the same 100-unit development constructed as senior
housing. The five cities listed recognize that senior residential units generate a lower parking
demand than market rate housing and thus reduce the senior parking requirements by 19-58%.
The average reduction for senior housing parking requirements is approximately 40% when
compared to market rate housing requirements.
The proposed ratio of 1.7 sp/du for the Columbus Square Senior Village project would exceed
all five of the City senior parking ratios for the six cities listed in Table 2. This does not even
take into affect the fact that 64% of the proposed Columbus Square Senior Village project is
affordable units, which would tend to reduce the parking ratio even further.
The Cities of Burbank and Berkeley reduce the market rate parking requirements by 25% for
senior housing projects, consistent with the data shown in Table 2. The City of Santa Monica
requires a parking ratio of 1.45 sp/du for senior housing that is limited to low-income seniors,
(and 0.45 sp/du for downtown low-income senior housing), indicating that the combination of the
two factors yields a substantial discount in on-site parking requirements.

PARKING GENERATION MANUAL
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has just published the Third Edition of Parking
Generation,2 a national compilation of measured parking occupancy studies at various land
uses. This edition has many new land uses, including Senior Housing, and is based on a much
more extensive set of data than the Second Edition.
Table 3 shows the relevant data from the publication. The data indicates that the actual parking
demand for market rate residential ranges between 1.04 and 1.96 sp/occupied duo The Parking
Generation Manual recommends the use of the 85th percentile data point as the appropriate
planning level for new projects. In the case of the market rate housing, the 85th percentile
parking demand was measured at 1.68 sp/du, exactly the supply level proposed for the
Columbus Square Senior Village project.
The market rate housing data was based on counts at eight developments, five of which were in
Southern California.
Data is also presented for two senior housing developments in Huntington Beach, California
where the peak parking demand was found to be 0.50 sp/du. This field data verifies the parking
code reductions for senior housing discussed above and shown in Table 2.
URBAN LAND INSTITUTE SHARED PARKING STUDY
The Urban Land Institute (ULI) is in the process of updating the 1980 study entitled Shared
Parking. The Second Edition of Shared parkinif recommends the use of 1.85 sp/du for
multifamily condominiums. This ratio is broken into 1.7 sp/du for tenants and 0.15 sp/du for
visitor parking.

The ULI Shared Parking report does not include senior housing as a separate land use and
therefore it does not recommend a specific parking ratio for senior housing. The report does
explain, however, that parking ratios for land uses not included in the study should be added to
the Shared Parking considerations based on the parking characteristics of that individual land
use.
With 1.85 sp/du recommended for market rate housing, it is clear that a parking analysis using
the ULI methodology would begin with a parking ratio of at most 1.67 sp/du even if only a 10%
reduction for senior housing was applied (1.85 sp/du x 90% = 1.67 sp/du).
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PARKING DEMAND
The Appendix to this report includes Parking Requirements Guide for Affordable Housing
Deve/opers4. The report speaks to the rationale for providing less parking for affordable housing
than for market rate housing, and it cites examples of cities that recognize parking reductions for
senior and/or affordable housing.

SUMMARY
The parking ratio proposed for the Columbus Square Senior Village residential project is
consistent with the ULI study and it exceeds the parking ratios recommended by the Institute of
4 Parking Requirements Guide for Affordable Housing Developers, Southern California Association of
Non-Profit Housing, 2004
10
Transportation Engineers. It exceeds the required parking ratios for all of the cites shown in
Table 2 that have a specific requirement for senior housing and it exceeds the parking ratios for
affordable housing projects for the cities that recognize this land use category.

III.
PARKING FIELD DATA
While the comparison of the proposed parking ratio to parking rates required by other cities is
informative, the City of Tustin is interested in the actual parking demand field experience at
other similar developments. Data for condominiums reserved for seniors (with a portion
allocated to affordable units) is limited, but the field data summarized below has application to
the proposed Columbus Square Senior Village project.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCE
In 2001, Kaku Associates conducted a parking demand study for residential developments in
Southern California urban residential developments. This study was submitted to the California
Coastal Commission in support of a City of Long Beach approval of a parking supply that was
below the 2.16 sp/du required in the City's Local Coastal Plan for projects along Ocean
Boulevard.
The parking demand study measured the peak residential parking demand at 11 residential
projects spread among downtown/waterfront Long Beach, Marina del Rey, downtown/waterfront
San Diego and downtown/waterfront Santa Monica. The peak parking demand at these 11 sites
averaged from 0.66 to 1.59 sp/du.
Figure 2 and Table 4 show the results of the parking demand study. Since the City of Tustin is
interested in the parking demand at condominium projects, the counts at condos have been
highlighted. While these projects were not necessarily senior housing projects, they were
primarily non-family units. Their location along the coast and/or in urban centers made them
high cost units that were primarily occupied by senior "empty nesters" or young urban
professionals. The auto ownership patterns and the income levels at the surveyed condo sites
can be expected to be higher than the proposed Columbus Square Senior Village project.

* 212 spaces are provided for resident parking. An additional 185 spaces are shared between residential guest parking and
visitor parking for the on-site retail in this mixed-use development.
The study results show that the condo developments studied had parking demand rates well
below the 1.7 sp/du proposed for the Columbus Square Senior Village project. The parking
studies showed a range of actual parking demand of 0.93 to 1.43 sp/du with an average peak
parking demand of 1.31 sp/du, or 22% less than the parking ratio proposed by the Columbus
Square Senior Village project.
The remaining six sites measured were rental projects in the same geographic areas and the
same financial level as the condo projects. The rental projects had peak parking demands
ranging from 0.66 to 1.59 sp/du with an overall average of 1.07 sp/du.
In 1996, Darnell & Associates measured the peak parking demand at seven residential sites in
the University City area of San Diego. These sites were all rental projects. Table 5 shows the
peak residential parking demand at the seven sites ranged between 1.15 and 1.52 sp/du.
All 18 of the studies cited above have higher income levels (and higher auto ownership) than is
expected in the Columbus Square Senior Village project. The proposed project would be
expected to have a lower parking demand than the studies cited because of the expected lower
auto ownership levels. Of the 18 sites surveyed above, not one location had a parking demand
that exceeded the 1.7 sp/du parking supply proposed in the Columbus Square Senior Village
project.
SAN FRANCISCO AFFORDABLE HOUSING SURVEYS
A parking study of 12 low-income projects in San Francisco showed that the parking demand
never filled the one space per unit parking supply required by the City zoning code.
A Palo Alto low-income residential project was approved in 1989 with 1.6 spaces per unit (25%
below the City's market rate zoning code requirements). The project was required to set aside a
landscape reserve that could be converted to additional on-site parking supply if needed. After
15 years, the landscape reserve area is still dedicated to open space, not parking.

VALENCIA SENIOR HOUSING SURVEY
As part of a 2001 consideration of a senior housing application, the City of Burbank retained
Korve Engineering to survey the parking demand at a 169-unit senior housing development in
Valencia, California.
Parking occupancy surveys conducted throughout the day showed that the peak parking
demand for the project occurred at 6 a.m. when 124 spaces were occupied. The resulting peak
parking demand ratio was 0.73 spaces per dwelling units - approximately one-half of the
parking ratio proposed for the Columbus Square Senior Village project.
SUMMARY
The field studies of both rental units and condominium units showed that the peak parking
demand at the surveyed sites were less than the proposed parking ratio at the Columbus
Square Senior Village project. In over 32 parking occupancy studies, the peak parking demand
never reached or exceeded the 1.7 sp/du proposed for the project.

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed Columbus Square Senior Village project wíll construct 240 senior condominium
units, 64% of which will be reserved as low-income units. The project proposes a parking
supply of 421 spaces to serve the prOject. The parking supply would provide one garage or
carport reserved space per unit with the remainder in an unreserved parking lot configuration.
The review of parking Zoning Code requirements in California cities showed that many cities
recognize the fact that auto ownership and unit occupancy rates are lower tor senior units and
low-income units than for comparable rental or condominium market rate units. Thus, many
cities lower their required parking supplies for senior and low-income units.
Surveys of peak parking demand Occupancy rates at condominium and rental projects
measured the peak parking demand at comparable projects. The field data showed that the
measured demand at these projects was considerably below the proposed 1.7 spfdu parking
supply at the Columbus Square Senior Village project,
Based on the results of the survey data, we believe that the proposed parking supply of 421
parking spaces (1.7 spaces per dwelling units) will be adequate to serve the proposed
Columbus Square Senior Village project.

Parking Requirements and the Cost to Afford.leN_slng
Fear of traffic congestion and overcrowded street parking has led many cities to
estabRsh minimum parking requirements calling for developments to provide
often excessive amounts of off-street parking. Aside from creating excess
parking and adding to congestion by encouraging automobile usage, parking
requirements have a tremendous negative impact on development of all kinds,
especially affordable housing.
Problems for AffOrdable Housing Developers
. Increases hveloømeat Coats - Parking requirements drive up the cost of
development. resulting in less units of housing. Needing to spend more on
parking means less funds available to provide housing. Some developments end
up having more space for cars than for people.
. Reduces tlte Potential_Other AnøNûtiø and Uses. W--Land - Parking
requirements also mean that less money and land is availoblefor other purposes.
Childcare facilities, community rooms, and ploy areas may all be sacrifICed in
order to accommodate parking. The possibility for mixed-use, such. as ground-
floor retail, are also reduced, leoving.other community needs Unmet in the name
of parking.
. Leea Aftråctive Desi.- - Meeting parking requirements becomes a focal point
in the design process and eliminates opportunities to incorporate open space.
With less þdr1<ing to consider. a building can be designed that more reflects a
neighborhood's context and needs,
Is AJI This Parking Needed?
No. Parking requirements have largely been arbitrarily determined and do not
usually reflect the verifiable parking needs of the people who will make use of a
development,
. Parking requirements have often been set using a "one-size fits all" approach
using information gathered during peak periods at developments with ample
parking in areas with few public transit options.
. The likely residents of affordable housing do not require a great deal of parking.
Studies show that the correlation between income and vehicle ownership is
strong, with the likelihood of owning more than one vehicle increasing with

income. low-income families, seniors, and spedal needs populations are less
likely to require the use of more than one parking space, if that at all. The need

Making a House Call
Less Downtown Parking Is Part of Proposal to Streamline Home Building
by Jason Mandell, Los Angeles Downtown News
The city's restrictive building codes have caused many developers to shy away
from tackling much-needed housing in the Central City. But a plan released last
week by a business advocacy group hopes to make the prospect more
attractive to residential builders by streamlining the process. It states that revising
certain codes and zoning laws could reduce construction costs by $20,000 to
$30,000 per unit,
A major focus of the plan, authored by the Centrol City Association, is to create
more high-density housing by cutting bock on open space requirements and
steering development toward public transportation spots. It also has the
controversial aspect of diming to reduce the number of parking spaces. required
for a project.
The 19-pqge "white paper," which was unveiled last Tuesday at the Subway
Terminal Building, hos won the support of Mayor James Hahn ond Ninth District
Councilwoman Jon Perry. The plan states what most Angelenos olready know -
LA. is in the midst of a housing crisis. According to the CCA, the city has a net
deficit of between 8,000 and 10,000 housing units. Additionally, about 15% of all
units are considered substandard, and 30% of the units are overcrowded,
according to the report.
Developer Greg Vi/kin, who heads CCA's housing production committee and
oversaw the white paper, said the idea is to curb what residents consider their
right to private open space and a parking spot for every car.
"LA. needs to grow up:' said Vilkin, whose company Forest City Residential West
is developing several Downtown projects, including the 277 -unit Subway
Terminal Building. Vilkin said the CCA plan's ultimate goal is to force people to
live near where they work, use public transit or rideshare, and use neighborhood
parks rather than backyards.
Vi/kin admitted that lowering the requirements for parking spaces for new
projects would negatively impact Downtown, whose lack of affordable parking
has long deterred visitors and potential residents.
'There will be some short-term pain," said Vilkin. However, he said thdt in the long
run, cutting down on parking spaces will transform the area's lifestyle.

Hahn said the high cost of meeting the current parking requirements drives
away developers. He said that if more housing is constructed near bus and
subway stops, the need for parking spaces will diminish,
Making a House Call, cont.
A potentially controversial measure of the CCA plan is the elimination of
prevailing wage requirements for public and private housing projects. The plan
states that wage restrictions often deter developers from taking on projects
because of high labor costs.
The report also calls for the city to abandon certain policies that require
developers to include affordable housing in market-rate prQjects. The pion
suggests providing better incentives and subsidies for mixed-income housing.
Among the plan's additional recommendations are:
. Create a housing advisory committee to help developers meet code
requirements.
. Change building codes and zoning laws to cut costs and increase the
speed of the approval and construction processes.
. Develop a workforce housing campaign and offer financial assistance to
"critical empbyees" such as police, fire, nurses and teachers,
. step up lobbying efforts for state and federal funds for market-rate and
low-income housing.
As part of the effort to encourage residential development Hahn announced
during the press conference that his business team is being renamed the Los
Angeles Housing and 8usiness Team. He said theCCA plan offers real solutions
for building housing quickly and at lower costs.
Hahn said he does not endorse every component of the initiative, and plans to
further examine it. He expressed hesitation about the proposal to reduce open
space requirements in development projects, "I'm not an advocate of that yet,"
said Hahn.
Perry praised the report for seeking to entice developers to tockle projects. "I Oke
the fact that this paper provides incentives, not punitive measures."

Introduction/Project Description
The proposed project involves the construction of approximately 240 condominiums at the Columbus
Square Senior Housing development in Tustin. The site is bounded on the northeast by Edinger
A venue, on the southeast by West Connector Road, and on the remaining two sides by other portions
of the Columbus Square development. Figure 1-1 identifies the location of the project site.
Figure 1-1. Project Site Location
The following report provides a description of the City of Tustin's noise standards for residential
developments, an analysis of the future noise environment at the site, an assessment of impact relative
to the City's standards, and recommendations for mitigating the significant impacts.

Noise Standards
The City of Tustin provides noise standards for both transportation-related noise and noise from
stationary (non-transportation) sources. The City's standards for each of these noise sources are
discussed further in the following sections, along with the State of California's standards for multi-
family construction.

2.1
Transportation Noise
For residential properties, the City of Tustin requires that the community noise equivalent level
(CNEL) does not exceed 65 dB at the exterior living areas or 45 dB atthe habitable interior living
areas. The Noise Element of the City of Tustin General Plan defines exterior living areas at
multifamily developments as patios and decks with a depth of 6 feet or more, and common recreation
areas. Refer to Appendix I for a glossary of acoustical terms used throughout this report.
2.2 Stationary Noise Sources
Chapter 6 of the Tustin City Code (Sections 4614 and 4615) identifies the following standards for
noise intrusion onto residential properties from stationary (i.e., non-transportation) noise sources:
Table 2-1. City of Tustin Noise Ordinance Standards
Exterior Interior
Noise level that may not be Daytime Nighttime Daytime Nighttime
exceeded for more than '" 7 am - 10 pm 10 pm - 7 am 7 am - 10 pm 10 pm - 7 am
30 minutes in any hour (denoted Lso) 55 dB(A) 50 dB(A) Not Specified Not Specified
15 minutes in any hour (denoted L2s) 60 dB(A) 55 dB(A) Not Specified Not Specified
5 minutes in any hour (denoted La) 65 dB(A) 60 dB(A) 55 dB(A) 45 dB(A)
1 minute in any hour (denoted Lz) 70 dB(A) 65 dB(A) 60 dB(A) 50 dB(A)
At any time (denoted Lmax) 75 dB(A) 70 dB(A) 65 dB (A) 55 dB(A)
In the event that the existing ambient noise level exceeds any of the above standards, the standards
are increased to reflect the ambient noise level. Each of the above noise limits shall be reduced by 5
dB(A) for impact noise, simple tone noise, or for noises consisting of speech or music.
2.3
State of California Noise Insulation Standards
All multifamily projects must comply with the State of Cali fomi a's noise insulation standards (CAC
Title 24, Chapter 2.5, Section 2-3501). The State's Title 24 standards specify that the intrusion of
noise from exterior sources (such as traffic) shall not exceed a CNEL of 45 dB within the interior of
any habitable space. In addition, the State staridards set minimum ratings for the sound and impact
transmission of party wall and floor/ceiling separation assemblies. This report only provides an
evaluation of, and recommendations for, the exterior-to-interior requirements of the State
standards. It is the project architect's responsibility to ensure compliance with the separation
assembly requirements of the State standards.

Exterior Noise Levels
The primary sources of noise affecting the project site are traffic on Edinger Avenue and West
Connector Road, and train movements on the rail line northeast of, and parallel to, Edinger Avenue.
In order to identify the existing noise environment at the project site, a continuous 24-hour noise
measurement was conducted at the approximate location of the nearest proposed façade to Edinger
Avenue. The data from this measurement was then used to calibrate the traffic and train noise models
used to estimate the future noise exposure levels that will be experienced at the project site. The
results of the modeling efforts are described in the following sections.
3.1
Traffic Noise
The following data (Reference 3) were used in our analysis of traffic noise exposures at the site:
Table 3-1. Data Used in Traffic Noise Analysis
Traffic Parameter Edinger Avenue W. Connector Rd.
Future Roadway Configuration 6 lanes, divided 4 lanes, undivided
Average Daily Traffic Volume (ADT) 55,000 11,000
Traffic Speed 50 mph 40 mph
% Medium Trucks 1.84% 1.84%
% Heavy Trucks 0.74% 0.74%
Based on the above traffic data, it is estimated that the future unmitigated traffic noise exposure will
be up to 72 dB CNEL at the nearest façades adjacent to Edinger Avenue and 63.5 dB at the nearest
facades adjacent to West Connector Road. At ground floor locations, which will be buffered from the
traffic noise by a proposed 7-foot high barrier to be constructed at the property lines, the future CNEL
will be about 63.5 dB at facades adjacent to Edinger Avenue and 56.5 dB at facades adjacent to West
Connector Road. At the pool and clubhouse recreation areas, the future traffic noise exposure is
estimated to be much less than 65 dB. (Refer to Appendix II for the analysis.) The traffic noise
analysis was conducted using the FHWA RD 77-108 Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model.
The remaining streets within the project site are local collectors and are not expected to contribute
significantly to the overall noise exposure.
3.2 Train Noise
Based on information provided by Metrolink, Amtrak, and a prior site study (Reference 4), there are
currently about 61 train passes per day on the rail line northeast of the project site parallel to Edinger
Avenue. Using models developed by the Federal Transit Administration and Wyle Laboratories, an
analysis was conducted to estimate the noise exposure at the project site from this activity. (Refer to
Appendix III.) The results of the analysis indicate a CNEL of65 dB at upper floor facades and 60 dB
at ground floor facades that will be buffered from the train noise by the proposed 7-foot high barrier
on the property lines.

3.3 Combined Traffic and Train Noise Exposures
The combined noise exposure at any location on the project site is obtained by adding together, on an
energy basis, the contributions from the individual sources. Based on the analytical results of Sections
3.1 and 3.2, it is estimated that the combined CNEL at the nearest units adjacent to Edinger A venue
will be up to 73 dB at third floor facades and up to 65 dB at first floor facades. At the nearest units
adjacent to West Connector Road it is estimated that the combined CNEL will be up to 67 dB at third
floor facades and less than 65 dB at first floor facades. The combined CNEL is expected to be less
than 65 dB at the common recreation areas.
3.4 Fire Station
A stationary noise source that could potentially affect the project site is the future fire station to be
located near the northeast corner of the project site. However, it is assumed that the fire station
developer will consider potential noise impacts in the design of the fire station. Potential annoyance
due to station-related noise can be reduced by keeping doors and windows closed at nearby units.
4
Assessment of Impact
As indicated in the previous section, the exterior traffic noise exposure at the proposed development
is estimated to be as high as 73 dB at the nearest residences to Edinger A venue, and 67 dB at the
nearest residences to West Connector Road. These exceed the City's standard of65 dB; therefore,
mitigation will be required that provides a reduction of up to 8 dB at locations considered to be
exterior living areas. It is noted that the upper floor decks facing the noise sources are less than 6 feet
deep; therefore they are not considered to be exterior living areas. The exterior traffic noise exposure
at the common recreation areas is estimated to be below the City's standard of 65 dB; therefore, no
further mitigation (beyond the proposed 7-foot high barrier to be constructed at the property lines) is
required at these locations.
As the exterior traffic noise exposure is estimated to be as high as 73 dB, the building construction
will need ~o be designed to provide a noise reduction of up to 28 dB in order to comply with the City's
interior CNEL standard of 45 dB.

Noise Control Recommendations
5.1
Exterior Noise Control
El.
A noise barrier with a minimum height of 7 feet shall be constructed along the northeast and
southeast property lines adjacent to Edinger Avenue, West Connector Road, and the proposed

fire station, as indicated in the referenced plans. The height of the barrier is relative to the
elevation of the project site or the adjacent arterial, whichever is greater.
E2.
The noise barrier identified in El, above, shall be constructed of materials having a minimum
density of 4 lbs per square foot.
E3.
The noise barrier shall be a continuous structure, without gaps, including at the base for
drainage.
The recommended barrier height is based on the elevations indicated on the referenced plans. If the
site or grading plans change during the final design of the project, the adequacy of the recommended
barrier should be re-examined by a qualified acoustical consultant.
5.2
Interior Noise Control
I-I.
All window and door assemblies used throughout the project shall be well fitted and well
weather-stripped. For some residential units the window and door assemblies shall also be
sound rated with outdoor-indoor transmission class (OITC) ratings as high as 32. The exact
locations and ratings of these assemblies shall be determined as part of the final engineering
design of the project and shall be based on the final site and architectural plans. OITC is per
ASTM E 1332-90.
1-2.
All exterior walls shall provide a minimum OITC rating of37. This may be achieved in a
variety of ways, including, but not limited to, the following:
a. 7/8" stucco, 2x4 studs, stud space filled with minimum R-l1 insulation batts, and minimum
1/2" type X gypsum wallboard on the interior.
OR
Hardiplank@ siding over minimum 3/8" plywood, 2x4 studs, stud space filled with
minimum R-II insulation batts, and two layers of minimum 1/2" type X gypsum wallboard
on the interior.
1-3.
b. All joints well fitted and/or caulked to form an airtight seal.
The interior noise standard shall be met in all units with windows and doors closed. Therefore,
ventilation is required in all units per the Unifonn Building Code standards in order to provide
a habitable environment. This may be achieved with standard air conditioning or a fresh air
intake system. Wall-mounted air conditioners shall not be used.
1-4.
Any air intake ducts at buildings adjacent to Edinger Avenue or West Connector Road shall be
oriented away from the street and shall incorporate at least 6' of flexible fiberglass ducting and
at least one 90° bend. There shall be no other openings (mail slots, vents, etc) in the exterior
walls facing either arterial.
The roof system at all buildings shall have minimum W' plywood sheathing that is well sealed
to fonn a continuous barrier to the noise. Minimum R-19 insulation batts shall be placed in the
rafter space.

1-6.
Attic vents, if any, at buildings adjacent to Edinger Avenue or West Connector Road shall be
oriented away from the street. If such an orientation cannot be avoided, then an acoustical
baffle shall be placed in the attic space behind the vent as shown in Figure 5- I (page 7).
It should be noted that the recommended interior noise control measures are based on the assumption
that standard building construction (with a 3-coat stucco façade) provides a noise reduction of at least
20 dB with windows and doors closed.
6
Separation Assemblies
The State noise insulation standards (Title 24) specifY minimum sound ratings for party wall and
floor/ceiling separation assemblies. The design of these assemblies is beyond the scope of this report.
It is the project architect's responsibility to verify compliance with the party wall assembly
requirements of the State standards.
7
Cone lusion
Analysis indicates that the project site is exposed to significant levels of noise as a result of traffic on
Edinger Avenue and train movements on the SCRRA rail line. However, it is concluded that, with the
recommendations provided herein, the project will comply with the City's exterior standard for
residential construction.
Preliminary recommendations have also been provided for compliance with the interior noise
standards for residential construction as required by the City of Tustin. The actual noise control
measures needed should be determined by a qualified acoustical consultant as part of the final
engineering design of the project, and should be based on the final site and architectural plans.
