1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
 
Acoustics Group, Inc., (AGI) was retained to conduct a noise study of the proposed Retail 
and Restaurant Plaza at the corner of 75th Avenue and Glendale Avenue in Glendale, AZ.  
AGI has reviewed the City of Glendale Noise Standards, conducted noise measurements, 
analyzed the noise levels from future operations at the site, assessed the impact of the 
future noise to determine compliance with the Noise Standards, and recommended noise 
control measures. 
 
The future operations were modeled for worst case typical conditions during peak hour 
activity and worst-case conditions during a delivery at the Goodwill. The typical hourly 
Leq from operations is estimated to be as high 41.6 and 42.7 dBA at residential rear yard 
of noise receptors NM1 and NM2, respectively. The operations peak hour noise levels 
would comply with the City of Glendale’s retail noise standard of 55 dBA. Delivery 
operations at the Goodwill will operate during the nighttime period with plaza operations 
estimated to be as high as 42.6 and 55.3 dBA at the residential rear yard of noise 
receptors NM1 and NM2, respectively. The delivery operations noise levels would exceed 
retail noise standards of 55 dBA at NM2. Noise control has been recommended to reduce 
operation noise levels for compliance with the City’s Standards.

2. INTRODUCTION 
 
SimonCRE JC Tucker IV LLC proposes a new retail center located at the corner of 75th 
Avenue and Glendale Avenue in Glendale, AZ.  Refer to Figure 1 for the general location 
of the Site and a Vicinity Map. Land uses immediately surrounding the site are commercial 
and residential. An existing 6-ft high noise barrier wall protects the residential land use to 
the south and east of the project site. The main noise concern is restaurant and retail 
operations affecting the residential properties.  Refer to Figure 2 for the Site Plan and 
Location of the Retail Center.

3. NOISE 
 
The magnitude by which noise affects its surrounding environment is measured on a 
logarithmic scale in decibels (dB).  Because the human ear is limited to hearing a specific 
range of frequencies, the A-weighted filter system is used to form relevant results.  A-
weighted sound levels are represented as dBA.  Figure 3 shows typical A-weighted 
exterior and interior noise levels that occur in human environments. 
 
Several noise metrics have been developed to evaluate noise. Leq is the energy average 
noise level and corresponds to a steady-state sound level that has the same acoustical 
energy as the sum of all the time varying noise events.  Lmax is the maximum noise level 
measured during a sampling period, and Lxx are the statistical noise levels that are 
exceeded xx-% of the time of the measurement.  L50 is the average noise level that is 
exceeded 50% of the time, 30 minutes in a 60 minute period.

4. NOISE STANDARDS 
 
The City of Glendale Municipal Code has adopted regulations for the purpose of 
protecting citizens from potential hearing damage and from various other adverse 
physiological, psychological, and social effects associated with noise. In general, any 
excessive, unnecessary, or offensive noise that disturbs the peace and quiet or that 
causes discomfort or annoyance is prohibited. Specifically, for Community Shopping 
Centers, the City’s Code limits mechanical noise to 55 dBA at the property line. 
Exemptions are made for safety signals and warning devices.   
 
5. EXISTING NOISE LEVELS  
 
AGI performed a site visit from August 31 to September 1, 2023 to conduct two long-term 
ambient noise measurements and three short-term ambient noise measurements to 
document existing baseline hourly noise levels. Figure 4 shows the location of the noise 
measurements. At location NM1, the measured hourly Leq ranged from 45.6 to 59.3 dBA. 
At NM2, the measured hourly Leq ranged from 44.7 to 56.7 dBA.  The predominant noise 
sources contributing to the ambient background noise consisted of vehicular traffic and a 
dust storm. At ST1, the measured short-term Leq ranged from 54.2 to 54.6 dBA. At ST2, 
the measured short-term Leq ranged from 53.4 to 53.5 dBA. The noise sources 
contributing to the short-term ambient measurement data were vehicular traffic. Table 1 
summarizes the noise measurement data from the survey. Refer to the Appendix for the 
measurement data sheets.

6. NOISE ANALYSIS 
 
The following section analyzes the potential noise impacts associated with the 
construction and operations of the proposed project.  
 
The future noise generated from the future retail operations has the potential to impact 
nearby properties.  The methodology used to analyze and predict operations noise from 
the project involved the use of the CadnaA computer noise model. CadnaA can simulate 
the physical environment by factoring in x, y, and z geometrics of a particular site to 
simulate the buildings, obstacles, and typography.  The model uses industry recognized 
algorithms (ISO 9613) to perform acoustical analyses. The noise generated by future 
operations was calculated by inputting acoustical sources at the project site.  
 
Operations sound levels and assumptions were provided by SimonCRE. Deliveries will 
only occur during the nighttime hours. Refer to Table 2 for the noise sources used in the 
predictive analysis.

The future operations were modeled for worst case typical conditions during peak hour 
activity and worst-case conditions during a delivery at the Goodwill. Within the project 
boundaries, the typical hourly Leq from operations is estimated to be as high as 50.1 and 
51.1 dBA at location NM1 and NM2, respectively . The existing 6-ft high residential 
property line barrier will reduce operations noise levels to as high as 41.6 and 42.7 dBA 
at the residential rear yard of noise receptors NM1 and NM2, respectively. During 
deliveries at Goodwill, the hourly Leq from operations is estimated to be as high as 50.4 
and 61.7 dBA within the project boundaries at location NM1 and NM2, respectively. 
Behind the 6-ft high residential barrier, the delivery and operations noise level will be as 
high as 42.6 and 55.3 dBA at the residential rear yards of noise receptor NM1 and NM2,

7. IMPACT ASSESSMENT 
 
The typical hourly Leq from operations is estimated to be as high 41.6 and 42.7 dBA at 
residential rear yard of noise receptors NM1 and NM2, respectively. The operations peak 
hour noise levels would comply with the City of Glendale’s retail noise standard of 55 
dBA. Delivery operations at Goodwill will operate during the nighttime period with plaza 
operations estimated to be as high as 42.6 and 55.3 dBA at the residential rear yard of 
noise receptors NM1 and NM2, respectively. The delivery operations noise levels would 
exceed the retail noise standards of 55 dBA at NM2. Noise control is necessary to reduce 
operations’ noise levels for compliance with the City’s Standards.  Refer to Table 4 for a 
summary of the future operations noise levels and impact assessments.

8. NOISE CONTROL ANALYSIS 
 
Noise control was evaluated to reduce the noise from operations and deliveries to comply 
with the City’s Noise Standards. AGI evaluated the noise reduction from increasing the 
proposed 8-ft high loading dock noise barrier to 10-ft high.  With a 10-ft high loading dock 
noise barrier, the operation noise level is expected to be reduced to 42.6 and 51.7 dBA 
at NM1 and NM2, respectively.  This will result in a noise level reduction of 3.6 dBA at 
NM2. The operations peak hour noise levels would comply with the City of Glendale’s 
noise standard of 55 dBA. Table 5 summarizes the Operations and Delivery Noise Levels 
with 10-ft high Loading Dock Noise Barrier. Figure 7 illustrates the Noise Contour Map for 
Operations and Delivery Noise Control with the 10-ft high loading dock noise barrier.

9. NOISE CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS 
 
The following noise control measures are recommended to comply with City of Glendale 
Noise Standards: 
 
1. A 10-ft high noise barrier is required at the loading dock per Figure 7. 
2. The noise barrier should be a continuous structure without any gaps or openings and 
should be constructed from solid metal panel, plexi-glass, concrete masonry block, 
stucco on wood, or any combination of these materials.

4. A spotter should be used to minimize the use of back up beepers for loading/unloading 
operations. 
5. Delivery vehicles should not be left idling, to minimize noise onto neighboring 
properties. 
6. The final design should be reviewed by a licensed Mechanical Engineer to ensure 
compliance with all applicable mechanical, fire and safety codes. 
7. Upon completion of the project, a noise verification study should be performed to 
verify compliance with the City’s noise standards.  
 
10. CONCLUSION 
 
Acoustics Group, Inc., (AGI) was retained to conduct a noise study of the proposed Retail 
and Restaurant Plaza at the corner of 75th Avenue and Glendale Avenue in Glendale, AZ.  
AGI has reviewed the City of Glendale Noise Standards, conducted noise measurements, 
analyzed the noise levels from future operations at the site, assessed the impact of the 
future noise to determine compliance with the Noise Standards, and recommended noise 
control measures. 
 
The future operations were modeled for worst case typical conditions during peak hour 
activity and worst-case conditions during peak hour activity and delivery at Goodwill. The 
typical hourly Leq from operations is estimated to be as high 41.6 and 42.7 dBA at 
residential rear yard of noise receptors NM1 and NM2, respectively. The operations peak 
hour noise levels would comply with the City of Glendale’s retail noise standard of 55 
dBA. Delivery operations at the Goodwill will operate during the nighttime period with 
plaza operations estimated to be as high as  42.6 and 55.3 dBA at residential rear yard 
of noise receptors NM1 and NM2, respectively. The delivery operations noise levels 
would exceed retail noise standards of 55 dBA at NM2. Noise control has been 
recommended to reduce operation noise levels for compliance with the City’s Standards.
