Assessing Health Risks for Proposed Residential Development

LSA prepared an Air Quality Impact Analysis and Noise Impact Analysis for the proposed Villages at Willow Creek residential project in Davis. The project will contain 35 single-family homes at build out. The site is adjacent to Interstate 80 (I-80), which is a source of noise and air pollution. According to the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (AQMD), housing and other facilities that would locate sensitive receptors in new development projects within 500 feet of a high-volume freeway are considered to be exposed to an elevated risk. The Air Quality Impact Analysis conforms to the requirements of the Yolo-Solano AQMD and the California Air Resources Board. LSA also prepared a technical health risk assessment consistent with all applicable procedures and requirements. The noise impact analysis evaluated the proposed residential development for its potential noise impacts. Traffic noise impacts from I-80, Cowell Boulevard, and Drummond Avenue on the residences were also analyzed, along with the City of Davis’ noise criteria for outdoor living areas and interior noise.
