Title
Review of GPAC’s Meeting on November 5, 2025 (Attachment 2 - Draft Noise Element)
Recommendation
Despite delayed consultant support, GPAC Noise Subcommittee Chair Jim Mosher and the Subcommittee Members have been working hard alongside Dudek and City staff to refresh and modernize the Noise Element. The Subcommittee met on October 21, 2025, to review and provide guidance on a draft of the refreshed Element. At the conclusion of the Subcommittee meeting, those in attendance agreed to allow City staff to work with Dudek to make responsive revisions and to share the Element with the full GPAC for consideration and continued discussion. The draft Noise Element was shared with the GPAC at its meeting on November 5, 2025, alongside some additional policy considerations. By a unanimous vote of the GPAC members in attendance, the draft was supported with inclusion of the additional policy considerations and some additional revisions to move on for the GPUSC’s review and concurrence with the GPAC’s work. Attachment 3 includes responsive revisions to the GPAC’s input.
Recommended Actions:
1. Provide any feedback on the GPAC’s efforts; and
2. Receive and file Attachment 3 to express concurrence with the GPAC’s actions, finalizing the draft Noise Element.
