5 Executive Summary Content Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited has prepared this Transportation Noise Study on behalf of Ontario Limited to address noise impacts from Victoria Road and Wideman Boulevard in the City of Guelph. This study has reviewed the transportation noise impacts associated with the proposed residential development. The findings and conclusions of this study are outlined in more detail in the body of the report. The purpose and scope of this study is to address the transportation noise impacts and mitigation measures in order to meet the Noise Policy guidelines of the Ministry of Environment. Conclusions This study addresses traffic noise forecasts associated with Victoria Road in the City of Guelph. The following conclusions are noted: 1. Noise Warning Clause: Noise levels at all but the easterly building façades will exceed the noise level guidelines of the Ministry of Environment by 10 dba or less indicating that a noise warning clause and provision for air conditioning will be required on offers to purchase or rental agreements. No special building materials will be required. 2. Townhouse Noise Levels: Although traffic will increase on Wideman Blvd., projected noise levels are expected to remain the same at townhouse units south of the site. This results as proposed buildings will act a noise barriers mitigating noise levels from traffic north of Wideman Blvd. on Victoria Road. Recommendations That the owner enter into an agreement with the City of Guelph that the following warning clause be included in offers to purchase and deeds or rental agreements for all units adjacent to the west, south and north building facades of both buildings in the development: 1. Due to the proximity to Victoria Road, projected noise levels on this property exceed the Noise Level guidelines of the Ministry of Environment and may cause concern for some individuals. Moreover, this dwelling has been fitted with a heating system suitably sized and designed to permit the future installation of a central air conditioning system by the occupants to allow windows and doors to remain closed.

9 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited has prepared this Transportation Noise Study on behalf of Ontario Limited to address noise impacts from Victoria Road for indoor noise of a proposed condominium building with ground floor commercial located adjacent to Victoria Road between Wideman Boulevard and Mussen Street in the City of Guelph as shown in Figure 1.1. This study has reviewed the transportation noise impacts associated with the proposed development. The findings and conclusions of this study are outlined in more detail in the body of the report. The purpose and scope of this study is to address the transportation noise impacts and mitigation measures in order to meet the Noise Policy requirements of the Ministry of Environment. Note for the purpose of this report Victoria Road was assumed to run in the north/south direction. 1.2 Development Plan The development plan consists of 5 stories of residential condominiums above ground floor commercial uses flanking onto Victoria Road Wideman Boulevard in northeast Guelph. The adjacent land use consists of other townhouses and single family homes. The current development plan is illustrated in Figure 1.2A and Figure 1.2B.

13 2 Methodology The following describes the assumptions used to address the noise attenuation requirements for the development. Future 10 year traffic volume estimates and characteristics Victoria Road were based on the Environmental Assessment Study for Victoria Road. 2.1 Noise Prediction Model STAMSON 5 was used to calculate the noise levels adjacent to and within the development. STAMSON is the traffic noise prediction model developed and utilized by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). It calculates the 24-hour and day/night Leq noise levels (i.e. equivalent noise level) based on inputs for traffic volume, type and speed, noise source-receiver distance, topography and elevation change between source and receiver, road surface type and gradient, and noise source and receiver heights and locations. 2.2 Traffic and Roadway Conditions The principal traffic noise source in proximity to the development is Victoria Road. Victoria Road is a two lane divided arterial road adjacent to the site. It extends from south of Hwy. 401 in the south to Hwy. 6 in the north. It has bicycle lanes and a wide centre median. The grade of the road along the frontage of the site is approximately 1 %. The speed limit is 50 km/hr. The speed limit transitions to 60km/hr in the vicinity of the site. However, in the future it is expected to be reduced to 50 km/hr consistent with the existing speed limit to the south. The volume of traffic based on data provided by the City of Guelph is expected to increase from about 8500 vehicles per day to about vpd by 2021 based on a 2031 ultimate forecast of 14,800 vpd identified in an Environmental Assessment Study 1. It is therefore estimated that the weekday daily volume within the next 10 years will be vpd. Truck traffic is expected to consist of about 1% medium trucks and 4.5% heavy trucks consistent with existing counts conducted by Paradigm for the traffic impact study in November Noise levels from Wideman Boulevard was also considered although relative to Victoria Road, its contribution to overall development noise levels is minimal. 1 Victoria Road North Improvements (from Ferndale Avenue to the Speed River) Environmental Assessment, 2009 Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page 5

14 TABLE 2.1: ASSUMED TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS (2021) Traffic Characteristics Victoria Road Wideman Boulevard Daily Traffic (2025) 12,910 2,450 Percent Trucks 5.5% 2.0% Percent Medium Trucks 1% 1% Percent Heavy Trucks 4.5% 1% Speed (km/hr.) Grade (%) 1% 1% Day/Night Split 90%/10% 90%/10% It is noted that Wideman Blvd. traffic was increase to 3300 per day as Stamson cannot compute noise levels where truck volumes are less than 40 vehicles per hour. Therefore, noise levels from Wideman Road will be somewhat lower than calculated as shown later in this report. Also noted is the speed on Wideman Blvd. was assumed to be 40 km/hr in (lower than the 50 km/hr speed limit) in the vicinity of the site as traffic will be slowing due to the stop condition at Victoria Road Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page 6

15 3.0 Noise Level Forecasts and Mitigation 3.1 Noise Level Criteria Noise level criteria in the MOE guidelines that generally apply to residential developments with typical residential construction materials have been used. The outdoor noise level guidelines of 55 dba and 50 dba are used for daytime and night time levels respectively for road noise. The guidelines assume a 10 dba reduction between outdoor noise levels to obtain indoor noise levels for typical building material standards. 3.2 Traffic Noise Guidelines Noise Level Criterion The Ministry of Environment and Energy provides guidelines for traffic noise levels adjacent to residential development. 2 In order to comply with the Ministry s guidelines in residential areas, the predicted noise level is to be assessed in an Outdoor Living Area such as a rear yard or patio and in indoor living areas such as bedrooms and living rooms. Where the noise levels exceed applicable criteria, warning clauses and mitigation measures such as site planning, architectural design, noise barriers, special building components and/or central air conditioning may be necessary. Table 3.1 gives the recommended sound level guidelines and applicable time periods developed by the MOE. The indoor noise levels apply with the windows and doors open. The MOE assumes that the building walls attenuate outdoor noise levels by 10 dba. No noise control measures are therefore required when the sound level estimated in the Outdoor Living Area is 55 dba or less during the daytime and 50 dba or less in the plane of the bedroom window during the night time. TABLE 3.1: MOE RESIDENTIAL SOUND LEVEL CRITERION FOR ROAD TRAFFIC NOISE Location Type of Space Time Period Criterion (Leq dba) Outdoor Rear Yard or Patio 16hr, 7:00-23:00 55 Indoor Living Dining Area 16hr, 7:00-23:00 45 (55) Indoor Sleeping Quarters 8 hr, 23:00-7:00 40 (50) Note: bracketed numbers refer to equivalent outdoor level in window plane 2 Noise Assessment Criteria in Land Use Planning, Publication LU131, Ministry of Environment and Energy, October Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page 7

16 Road Traffic Noise Control Measures The MOE has developed guidelines for noise mitigation and control as summarized in Table 3.2 below. The wording of the various warning clauses have been developed by MOE for each type indicated below.

17 3.3 Noise Level Impacts Noise level from Victoria Road and Wideman Blvd. were calculated using Stamson. It is noted that in proximity to Victoria Road, Wideman Road noise levels have little impact on ultimate noise levels as Victoria Road dominants by more than 10 dba. Therefore, Wideman Blvd. noise was not considered in all calculations for all locations except for the south façade. The highest noise levels occur on the west façade of both buildings as full exposure to traffic on Victoria Road occurs. The east façade will be fully protected from noise from Victoria Road as the building itself will mitigate noise. The north and south facades will only be exposed to half the Victoria Road traffic either north or south of the building. Special building materials will not be required for any of the units as all locations are not greater than 65 dba for daytime and 60 dba for nighttime (rounded to the nearest whole number). Noise warning clauses and provision for air conditioning will be required for all the units. Figure 3.1 illustrates the locations that refer to the noise calculations in Table 3.3 below. It is noted that the south façade noise levels will be lower than noted as the proposed bank on the site will help mitigate noise levels for southerly exposed units. TABLE 3.3: NOISE LEVEL COMPUTATIONS Outdoor Noise Levels at Building Facade Receiver A- South East Façade Receiver B South West Façade Receiver C West Façade Receiver D North and South West Façade Receiver E North and South East Facade Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Noise Level Regional Guidelines (1) Difference form Guideline Attenuation Required (2) NWC, PA/C, OBC NWC, PA/C, OBC NWC, PA/C, OBC NWC, PA/C, OBC NWC, PA/C, OBC (1) Note: All night noise levels refer to the exterior plane of windows which are defined to be 10 dba higher than indoor noise levels. All noise levels are rounded to the nearest whole number. (2) NWC Noise Warning Clause, PA/C Provisions for Air Conditioning, OBC Building Components in Compliance with Ontario Building Code. Calculations to determine the above noise levels are provided in Appendix A. All calculations were completed with a 1.5m observer height for daytime calculations and bedroom windows 4.5m above the road surface. Ground effect attenuation was not assumed so noise at all elevations are the same. Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page 9

19 3.4 Noise Level Impacts on Wideman Blvd. The townhouses on the south side of Wideman Blvd. will be exposed to more traffic from the development. Based on the traffic impact study, it is estimated that daily traffic increases due to development of the site will be just under 2000 vehicles per day. This will generate more noise in the front yard of units facing Wideman Blvd. Therefore, to assess this impact noise calculations for the midpoint of the townhouse units was calculated considering noise from both Victoria Road and from Wideman Blvd. with and without the development. It is noted that the proposed buildings on the site will reduce noise levels from traffic to/from the north on Victoria Road as they will act as barriers to the free flow noise travel path that occurs today. Taking this factor into account the noise computations show that noise levels before and after the development will be similar both with and without the development. Although more traffic will exist on Wideman Road the buildings on the site will help to mitigate noise from Victoria Road from impacting townhouses and single family homes on Wideman Blvd and on Mussen Street located to the east of the site. The noise computations associated with the above are located in Appendix A. Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited Page 11
