d.
The GPAC Noise Subcommittee met on June 18, 2024, to receive updates on
Dudek’s support for the Noise Element, review noise complaint data, and to
determine next steps. The GPAC Noise Subcommittee also met on July 25, 2024, to
primarily review Dudek’s Memo prepared by Senior Acoustician Dana Lodico
evaluating the current Noise Element and identifying possible areas for
improvement. Subcommittee Chair Mosher provided an overview of the
Subcommittee’s discussions and actions at the July 29, 2024, GPAC meeting.
Based on Dudek’s memo and the discussions at the Subcommittee meetings,
Subcommittee Chair Mosher posed four questions to the GPAC for feedback: (1) Is
updating the existing and forecasted noise contours useful?; (2) Would it also be
useful to conduct a community noise survey?; (3) Are there new or additional noise
sources anticipated in the future?; and (4) Would it be helpful to have a joint meeting
of the GPAC Noise Subcommittee and the GPAC Safety Subcommittee on the topic
of Advanced Air Mobility (e.g., air taxis and drone deliveries) to assess expected
impacts? In summary, the GPAC supported questions 1, 2, and 4, and held a brief
discussion about possible noise sources in response to number 3. Attachment 5
includes a cover memo, action minutes from the Subcommittee meetings, the
PowerPoint displayed at the July Subcommittee meeting, Dudek’s memo, and an
