Party
• Quiet Equipment Selection. Select quiet construction
equipment, particularly air compressors, when
possible.
• Noise Disturbance Coordinator. Designate a ‘noise
disturbance coordinator’ who would be responsible
for responding to local complaints about construction
noise. This person would most likely be the
contractor or contractor’s representative. He or she
would determine the cause of the noise complaint
and would require that reasonable measures
warranted to correct the problem be implemented.

Department
The Project shall participate in a Community Facilities
District to provide the ongoing resources needed to serve
the development and address cumulative development
impacts to response times. To reduce the potential for fire
service response to an emergency at the Project, all units
shall have approved fire sprinkler systems. The
installation of fire sprinkler protection throughout the
Project would provide for immediate fire and life safety
protection and assist in mitigating for the lengthening
response times for fire and emergency apparatus and
personnel.
The Project would place further demands on fire and emergency services, particularly for
medical emergencies. The Fire Department and Sonoma Life Support provide first responder
and first responder paramedic services. Sonoma Life Support would transfer injured persons
to the nearest hospital, either Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital or Kaiser Permanente Medical
Center. Many elderly people have limited mobility, making it necessary to have additional fire
resources on scene more quickly for rescue and rapid fire suppression. In addition, there is
an increased need for emergency response to medical emergencies. Paramedic staffed
engine companies provide a higher level of care for people with cardiac problems, trauma,
and strokes.

personnel 24 hours per day, to the satisfaction of the
Fire Chief.
Fountaingrove Lodge will provide Emergency Medical
Technician qualified or equivalent personnel 24 hours per
day in the main “assisted living” building and Care Center.
This would reduce the Fire Department’s need to respond
to non-medical emergency calls in community care
facilities, thereby allowing them to respond more quickly
to other emergencies in the area. Care Center staff would
have the ability to call 9-1-1 and medically assess
residents to determine if the request is a medical
emergency or a routine care assistance issue.
3.13 Transportation and Traffic
