The sun could be reflected by <br />i. the proposed buildings to on -site parking areas as well as to the <br />adjacent streets and freeways (Main Street, Santa Ana and Garden Grove <br />Freeways). At certain angles these solar reflections could cause <br />"blind" spots for motorists as well as be a nuisance and annoyance for <br />pedestrians and shoppers. The reflections could also extend to <br />surrounding residential areas and cause an annoyance to residents. At <br />a long distance from the building, the solar reflection would not shine <br />on one particular point for a very long time, however, in close <br />t= proximity to the building, a reflection may occur for a relatively long <br />period (possibly one-half hour to an hour). <br />The proposed project would probably require additional <br />security and aesthetic lighting which would create increased on -site <br />sources of illumination. In addition, there would be increased <br />illumination after dark from the office buildings from cleaning crews <br />and people working in the buildings. A specific determination and <br />evaluation of illumination impacts cannot be made at this time since <br />75D 285 <br />
