equivalent levels (CNEL) with windows closed attributable to

located within an annual CNEL contour (as defined in Title 4,

to limit intruding noise to the prescribed allowable levels.

cordance with its local general plan.

buildings or structures to be located within exterior community
noise equivalent level contours of 60 dB of an existing or adop-

their characteristics, predicted noise spectra at the exterior
of the proposed dwelling structure considering present and fu-
ture land usage, basis for the prediction (measured or obtained
from published data), noise attenuation measures to be applied,
and an analysis of the noise insulation effectiveness of the
proposed construction showing that the prescribed interior noise
level requirements are met. If interior allowable noise levels
are met by requiring that windows be unopenable or closed, the
design for the structure must also specify the means that will
be employed to provide ventilation and cooling, if necessary, to
provide a habitable interior environment.
(b) Field testing. When inspection indicates that the
construction is not in accordance with the approved design, field
