Auxiliary engines include but are not limited to truck refrigerator units. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the public hearing held on March 17, 1993, regarding truck parking and truck travel on City streets, Council elected to address the issues associated with this subject on a case-by-case basis. These issues are: ° Noise complaints on trucks legally parked near residences ° Sight obstruction complaints on trucks parking too close to driveways and intersections ° Truck travel complaints on various City streets This is the first of three reports prepared on this subject and deals with noise complaints received related to truck parking. The two remaining issues will be reviewed at future Council meetings. The following is a list of locations where truck related noise complaints have been received: ° Mills Avenue - (west side) south of Turner Road, adjacent to General Mills ° Stockton Street - (west side) from Mission Street to Poplar Street, adjacent to PCP Cannery ° Cherokee Lane - (east side) south of Kettleman Lane, adjacent to Lodi Truck Service (1430 South Cherokee Lane) e Cherokee Lane - (east side) north of Almond Drive, in front of Croce's Restaurant parcel o Walnut Street - (south side) east of Stockton Street, adjacent to Safeway Grocery Store ° Elm Street - (north side) west of Ham Lane, adjacent to Lakewood Mall APPROVED: L� THOMAS A. PETERSON .,cyCisA G"w L City Manager CTRKNOIS.1/TXTW.02M (CO.COM) June 9, 1993 C.C-1 r Public Hearing to Consider the Introduction of an Ordinance Adding Section 10.52.080 to Lodi Municipal Code to Prohibit the Parking of Commercial Vehicles Operating Diesel and/or Auxiliary Engines Within 250 Feet of a "Residential District", Between the Hours of IO p.m. and 7 a.m., on Any Street Except State Highways June 16, 1993 Page 2 This list does not include complaints received at locations where truck parking is illegal under the existing truck parking ordinance. A map showing these areas is attached as Exhibit A. Other areas where this problem could occur are at any location where a "residential district" abuts a nonresidential parcel, such as a commercial use. To address this issue, Public Works staff and the City Attorney drafted a new ordinance (LMC 10.52.080) designed to reduce residents' exposure to truck noise by restricting parked commercial vehicles from operating diesel or auxiliary engines within 250 feet of a "residential district" (Exhibit B). Since the May 19 Meeting, when the public hearing on this item was set, one minor change was made in the draft ordinance related to how the distance is measured. This restriction would be in effect every day between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. and applies to all on -street (public) parking within the City limits with the exception of State highways. The ordinance does not prohibit noise from commercial vehicles in the process of being loaded or unloaded. Commercial vehicles operating diesel or auxiliary engines on private property are also not restricted. The 250 -foot distance was chosen based on the distance it would take to dissipate truck engine noise to an acceptable level at the boundary of the "residential district". Because each individual's tolerance to sound is different, comparing the level of noise to human annoyance is difficult to determine. The data used to determine the distance used for this restriction is shown in Appendix 1. The time limit used for this restriction (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) corresponds with the existing noise ordinance described below. Currently, there are two existing ordinances in Title 9, "Public Peace, Morals and Welfare", of the Lodi Municipal Code related to public nuisance and excessive noise. These ordinances differ from the proposed ordinance because they only allow citations to be issued to the individual creating the offensive noise. Thus, citations for trucks could not be issued until the driver of the truck was located. The proposed ordinance would allow citations to be placed on the vehicle. The California Vehicle Code indicates that this type of restriction shall not apply until signs or markings giving adequate notice have been placed. Staff has reviewed the following two signing methods for this restriction. These methods and their advantages and disadvantages are shown below with additional discussion following. The proposed sign installation locations and sign wording are shown on Exhibit C. Method 1 - Install signs at all major entrances to the City. Provide warning period prior to issuing citations.

Advantages Disadvantages *Provides double notice to truck drivers °Could confuse drivers by implying entering the City and at complaint that the restriction is not in effect locations at unsigned locations °High cost of signing all locations and "chasing" the problem around town Discussion/Recommendation: The proposed truck noise ordinance was designed to work In 'conjunction with the existing commercial vehicle parking ordinance (LMC 10.52.050). The existing ordinance restricts commercial vehicle parking in "residential districts" at all times of the day. In combination with the proposed ordinance, they will resolve the majority of truck parking problems related to noise at or near residences. Of the six locations on which we have received complaints, the proposed ordinance will resolve the problem at all locations except on Cherokee Lane, adjacent to Lodi Truck Service. Staff believes this to be a rare incident since this is an isolated single-family residence located in a commercial zone surrounded by commercial and industrial uses. The proposed restriction is also easy to enforce because a decibel reading is not required. The specified distance can also be easily measured since zoning boundaries which follow property lines are generally distinguishable in time field. The only concern staff has regarding this restriction is that noise problems could continue to occur if truck drivers park in this area when the noise ordinance is not in effect and leave during the restricted time, before enforcement can arrive at the scene. This problem can be remedied by restricting parking within 250 feet of a "residential district" at all times; however, an all -day restriction is not recommended based on the reason indicated below. Staff has received a citizen request to extend the time limit on this restriction to be in effect at all times. While this would be beneficial to those residents who sleep during the day, there would be a problem at locations where businesses are located within 250 feet of a "residential district". At these locations, commercial vehicles would not be allowed to park at any time in front of restaurants or stores within the restricted distance of a "residential district" with engines or CTRKNOIS.1/TXTW.02M (CO.COM) June 9, 1993 Public Hearing to Consid the Introduction of an Ordinan/'Adding Section 10.52.080 to Lodi Municipal Code to Prohibit the Parking of Commercioi Vehicles Operating Diesel and/or Auxiliary Engines Within 250 Feet of a "Residential District", Between the Hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., on Any Street Except State Highways June 16, 1993 Page 4 refrigerator units operating. This problem would occur on Cherokee Lane, Lodi Avenue, Turner Road and many other locations. Since the needs of truck drivers should be balanced with the needs of the community, staff does not feel it is appropriate to restrict truck parking all day in commercial zones. Also, as previously discussed, the existing commercial vehicle parking restriction in residential zones will continue to be in effect all day. When considering signing for a restriction, in general, the more signs posted the better compliance will be. However, due to the type of restriction, staff does not feel that is true in this case. Posting signs at problem areas as well as major entrances to the City would provide additional notice to drivers; however, it would also imply that parking in unsigned areas is legal. This could be a problem where unsigned areas and signed areas meet. Depending on the specific location, parking in these unsigned areas may or may not be legal. The only way to totally alleviate this confusion is by posting signs at every location where the restriction applies, which is not practical. Also, since this restriction is similar to the existing truck parking ordinance, signing individual locations for either or both of these restrictions could be confusing to drivers since the restrictions are different. Staff feels that a better solution would be to place signs only at the major entrances to the City, displaying both the parking and noise restrictions. Staff will prepare an information sheet describing the allowable parking areas. This informational sheet will be sent to the Police Department for enforcement purposes and will be available as a handout for the public. Because individual locations will not be signed, it may be desirable to provide a warning period prior to issuing citations to allow drivers to become familiar with the restriction. If enforcement is not effective at a particular location, an alternate method of restriction, such as the installation of no -parking zones, can be considered. Based on these factors, staff recommends that Council add Section 10.52.080 to Title 10 of the Lodi Municipal Code with the restriction applying every day between the hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Staff also recommends the approval of signing Method 1 (installing signs only at the major entrances to the City).

T"KORDI.DOC i i . ........ _..... 05/06/93 Appendix 1 Determination of Acceptable Noise Level in Residential Areas Method of Determination: As briefly discussed in the report, determining an acceptable noise level in a residential area is difficult because it depends on the indariduat's tolerance. Staff has employed methods and data currently available on this subject in order to determine what is considered reasonable. The publications that have been referenced are indicated at the bottom of the page. Sound from a pout source spreads in a spherical manner away from the source. This spreading results in a sound level decrease of 5 dB for each doubling of distance. It is known as the inverse squaro law' The reference material reviewed indicates that a truck produces approAnatsly 80 decibels (dB). recorded 50 feet away. An axeptable level of noise in a residential area was determined to be up to 65 dB, measured outside. with common buuik ft consbu Ion making the indoor environment acceptable. Using this method, the distance it would take for the generated noise of 80 dB to reduce to 65 dB is 282 feet under optimum ins, Staff recommends a resWc ion ' of 250 feet since the distance is measured to the district boundary and does not indude building setback.

Although providing a time limit would allow truck drivers to park within 250 feet of a "residential districC for the prescribed period of time, this issue was not included in the Council Communication because staff was concerned about the problems a time limit could create. Staffs major concern is that enforcement would have to "time" the vehicle before a citation could be issued. If the driver Is aware they are being monitored they would have the opportunity to either drive away or tum the engine off to avoid being cited. This could become a convenient way for truck drivers to circumvent this restriction. Another reason is that the total length of time the resident would be exposed to the noise could easily become excessive since they would have to wait until the time limit was reached, call for enforcement, and then enforcement would have to again "time" the violator. In the event Council wishes to provide a time limit for this parking restriction, Public Works staff contacted two diesel engine repair shops and a trucking company to find out how long it takes to warm up and cool down diesel engines. The information received contradicts truck drivers claims from past meetings that it is necessary to run engines for up to a half an hour before they reach the temperature where they can be driven. The information gathered indicates that a thirty minute warm up time is excessive. According to the repair shops and trucking company, diesel engines only need to be warmed up for approximately five minutes before being driven. Although at this point the engines have not reached optimum operating temperature, it is apparently TRKNOIS1.DOC not necessary to reach this temperature before the truck can be driven and once they are moving the operating temperature rises quickly. Operating the truck before the engine reaches optimum operating temperature does not damage the engine. Engine coot down time is even less, taking about two to three minutes. The diesel engine warrn up and cool down times shown assumes that the truck is in good operating condition and does not apply to auxiliary engines. Based on this data, if a time limit is chosen, consideration should be made as to the total time the resident wiq be exposed to the noise. Consideration should also be made as to the time that would have to spent to enforce the restriction since these complaints will be received at night and early morning hours. Public Works Staff has discussed this matter with the City Attorney and determined that the limit should not exceed five minutes. TRKNOISI.DOC
