The City of Pasadena’s (the City’s) Planning and Community Development Department is seeking a qualified noise/ acoustic consultant to update and enhance its existing General Plan Noise Element and related Noise Ordinance. The Noise Element update shall include updating the citywide noise contour map, develop noise standards by zoning district and/or land use category and standards for managing noise in a variety of districts, including standardized mitigation measures, significance thresholds and/or construction noise and best management standards for construction noise. The purpose of the Ordinance update is to establish exterior noise standards by zoning district and/or land use category and also develop clearly defined standards for how noise is measured and what constitutes a violation. The revised Ordinance should include specific and measurable regulations, by zoning district and/or land use, that are measurable and enforceable.
