City Code Section 405.04 stipulates that any variance from the noise <br />standards be heard before City Council at a public hearing. <br />• Properties within 500' of this site have been notified of this public hearing. <br />• The closest residential properties are approximately 1600 feet away. <br />• To date there have been no complaints about noise at this construction site. <br />REQUESTED ACTION <br />Staff is requesting Council open the public hearing to consider the granting of a variance to the noise <br />ordinance at 2750 Cleveland to allow construction activities beginning at 6:00 am. <br />SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />• Open Public Hearing and take public comment. <br />• Close Public Hearing. <br />Prepared by <br />Attachments <br />Don Munson, Permit Coordinator <br />A: Map of 2750 Cleveland Ave. <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
