Noise (Goal G) <br />Findings . <br />29-.19. Noise sources of a nuisance nature (such as barking dogs, lawn mowers, loud parties, <br />noisy mufflers, and squealing tires) are best addressed through nuisance ordinances rather <br />than land use policies. <br />-9-920_. Major sources of noise in the metropolitan area are airplanes, highway traffic, and some <br />industrial and commercial activities. <br />4-i-21. Theme-of Eugene-Mah weed Airport Noise Exposure I pae! Roue <br />Analysis, November A ri12000, was found to be in compliance with state airport <br />noise standards by the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality4n4anuary <br />-4122. . Federal Highway Administration noise standards apply whenever federal funds are used <br />in the construction or reconstruction of a highway. A noise study is required if the <br />construction will add a through-lane of traffic or significantly alter either the horizontal or <br />vertical alignment of the highway. The significance of a change in alignment has to do <br />with the effect that the alignment change has on noise levels. State funded Oregon <br />Department of Transportation projects are generally developed in conformance with the <br />federal noise standards. <br />Policies <br />3-2C.22Design of new street, highway, and transit facilities shall consider noise mitigation <br />measures where appropriate. <br />33Y.?3 Design and construction of new noise-sensitive development in the vicinity of existing <br />and future streets and highways with potential to exceed general highway noise levels <br />shall include consideration of mitigating measures, such as acoustical building <br />modifications, noise barriers, and acoustical site planning. The application of these <br />mitigating measures must be balanced with other design considerations and housing <br />costs. <br />34_C_.24Loca1 governments shall continue to monitor, to plan for, and to enforce applicable noise <br />standards and shall cooperate in meeting applicable federal and state noise standards. <br />plaints shall be n`~rr°`~a <br />3-7:_A' :rF7t }ptl*ZZ'[yr i+..r. .slide inye teFy of noise se rGes and V elll 1LE111LV U <br />1 Plan Update T <br />b ' <br />Air, Water and Land Resources Quality (Goal d) <br />Exhibit B: Proposed amendments to Chapter III-C, Environmental Resources Element, Page 21 of 25 <br />of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan). <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 298 <br />
