C. Impacts Identified as Less - Than - Significant with Mitigation Incorporated
The City Council finds that the following environmental effects were identified as
Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated in the Initial Study and /or
FEIR. Where the environmental issue area was discussed in the Initial Study, the
FEIR, or both, is noted in parenthesis. Implementation of the identified mitigation
measures would avoid or lessen the potential environmental effects listed below
to a level of significance.
Aesthetics (Initial Study)
a) Facts /Effects:
(1) New Sources of Light or Glare. Implementation of Option 1 or
Option 2 of the proposed project would introduce new sources of
light and glare at the project site that could be visible to light -
sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project site.
Implementation of mitigation measure MM AES -1 for Option 1 or
Option 2 would reduce potential impacts from daytime glare to a
less -than- significant level by eliminating or minimizing increased
glare through the use of nonreflective glass and non - reflective
textured surfaces at the proposed development. Implementation of
mitigation measure MM AES -2 would reduce off -site impacts from
nighttime light and glare by requiring that exterior lighting be
directed onto driveways, walkways, and public areas, and away
from adjacent properties and public rights -of -way. Therefore, light
and glare impacts would be less than significant with incorporation
of mitigation measures MM AES -1 and MM AES -2.
b) Mitigations:
MM AES -1 Expansive areas of highly reflective materials, such as
mirrored glass, must not be permitted. Nonreflective building
materials must be used to the maximum extent possible to reduce
potential glare impacts.
MM AES -2 Exterior lighting must be designed to minimize off -site
glare. This may include, without limitation, using shielded or
recessed lighting fixtures.
