The applicant shall incorporate an amplified sound system as part of the community pavilion so that there is consistency of the speakers used, placement of speakers, and other mitigation related to sound. The intent of this requirement is to ensure that consistent mitigation is in place prior to each event. All events must be documented in writing to reflect initial calibration and event samples to reflect compliance with the El Dorado County noise standards and conditions herein. These written logs shall be maintained and provided to the County upon request. Samples shall be taken at the most impacted sensitive receptor areas if different than originally contemplated after construction. Any public comments or complaints received during special events shall be retained and tracked in a written log. The amplified sound system shall be secured so that it cannot be accessed without authorization from the permit holder. This Conditional Use Permit shall be reviewed by Planning and Building Department staff after two years of commencement of Conditional Use Permit activities. At this two-year review, the permit holder shall provide the Planning and Building Department with the following: 1) written documentation showing the testing for each event consistent with this condition; 2) a written log of all public comments or complaints received associated with any special event; and 3) a brief description of each event and the approximate number of spectators at each event. This information shall be delivered to the Planning and Building Department no later than twenty-six months after the first special event with amplified sound is held. By operation of this condition, it is the intent of County to reserve the right to modify or add new conditions, as warranted, for this Conditional Use Permit. The applicant shall enter into a Time and Materials Agreement with Planning and Building Department to cover the cost of staff time to process the two-year review. The following measures shall be implemented to ensure that off-site residences are not exposed to noise levels generated by amphitheater events that exceed the County’s noise level performance standards for noise-sensitive land uses affected by non-transportation sources in community centers, as presented in Table 3.10-8. Prohibit events with amplified music or sound during the nighttime hours of 10 p.m. – 7 a.m. During the sound testing of the amplified sound system prior to each event multiple sound level measurements shall be conducted at the source and along the property line of the most affected residential land uses. The sound level meter used for the sound level measurements should meet a minimum Type 2 compliance and be fitted with the manufacturer’s windscreen and calibrated before use. Volume settings shall be adjusted to ensure that the applicable county noise standards will not be exceeded at the residences during the event. Only hold events with amplified music or sound during daytime hours (i.e., 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.) until it can be demonstrated with sound level measurements conducted during the first two daytime events with amplified sound that the noise generated by amplified events would not expose off-site residences to noise levels that exceed the County’s evening noise level performance standards of 45 dB Leq and 55 dB Lmax. If sound level measurements conducted during the first two daytime events indicate that offsite residences would not be exposed to noise levels that exceed these standards, then events with amplified music or sound can be held on the project site during the evening hours of 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. for non-movie events and 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. for movie events April to September. This evaluation shall be conducted by a qualified noise analyst selected by county staff; however, all funding shall be provided by the applicant. The results of all sound measurements shall be provided to the County. Prohibit the use of subwoofers during amplified music events. 5) Reduce the maximum height of the tower to 50 feet. 6) Edit Mitigation Monitoring & Reporting Program 3.10-2b to specify noticing shall include date and the start and stop times of when blasting will occur. 7) Revised plans shall by prepared for the Board of Supervisors as follows: (a) The detention basin shall include appropriate green screening vegetation and railing; (b) Landscaping plans shall include continuation of a living/crib wall that is substantially the same as it exists in Phase I; (c) Revised elevations showing reduced tower height to 50 feet (Revise Exhibit Q); and (d) Revised retaining wall plans/diagrams showing elevations of the retaining walls/sound walls.
