Since the building heights are not known, and for the purposes <br />of this report, the maximum height of a building that would cast a <br />shadow on surrounding residential areas will be evaluated. There are <br />three major residential areas in the project vicinity that will be used <br />to determine the height of the buildings (See Figure 30). Table 23 <br />' lists the maximum estimated height of a building that could be <br />constructed on -site and not cast a shadow on the adjacent neighbor- <br />hoods. As listed in Table 23 and shown in Figure 30, a building varying <br />in height from 13 to 25 stories, depending upon location, could be <br />located in the southeast portion of the site and not cast a shadow on <br />residential area "A". Shadows from a building located in this area <br />would not cast any shadows to either of the other residential areas as <br />jwell. A building between 8 and 19 stories tall could be located in the <br />southwest portion of the site and not cast shadows to residential area <br />"B". Again, none of the buildings in this area of the site would cast <br />shadows to the other two residential areas. A building from 19 to 52 <br />stories tall could be located along the northern project boundary before <br />J any shadows were cast to residential area "C". <br />j There are many areas on the site where multi -story buildings <br />could be located so that the shadows from the structures would not <br />extend to adjacent residential areas. An analysis for each building and <br />its location would have to be prepared when the plans are available in <br />order to determine the shadow impacts. Generally though, the closer the <br />proposed structures are located to the center of the site, the higher <br />the buildings could be before they would cast shadows on adjacent <br />residential areas. On the other hand, the closer that buildings are <br />located to the project boundary in the vicinity of a residential area, <br />j the shorter a building would have to be in order that a building did not <br />cast a shadow on an adjacent residential neighborhood. <br />r <br />Depending upon the type of building exterior of the proposed <br />buildings (glass, reflective mirrors), there could be solar reflection <br />impacts. Both on -site and off -site reflections could occur throughout <br />75Du284 <br />
