The Pacific Palisades Community Council opposes the Department of City Planning's proposed changes to construction noise thresholds, arguing the proposal violates CEQA requirements, lacks substantial evidence, contradicts the City's General Plan Noise Element, and would disproportionately harm residents in quiet residential areas and those who work night shifts or from home. The Council contends the proposal fails to demonstrate that weakening noise protections will result in additional affordable housing construction.
