adjacent uses and do not create spillover effects. The plan shall specifically <br />incorporate the following design features: <br />• All projects shall incorporate project design features to shield light <br />and/or glare from vehicles entering or exiting parking lots and structures <br />that face sensitive uses (e.g., schools, hospitals, senior housing, or <br />other residential properties) by providing barriers so that light from <br />vehicle headlights would not illuminate off -site sensitive uses <br />• All projects shall incorporate project design features to provide <br />landscaping, physical barriers, screening, or other buffers to minimize <br />project -generated illumination from entering off -site areas and to <br />prevent glare or interference with vehicular traffic, in accordance with <br />the City's Municipal Code. <br />MM-OZ 4.1-4 Prior to issuance of a building permit each project shall be required to perform <br />a shade and shadow analysis that demonstrates that the project will not result <br />in significant impacts according to the following criteria. Shadowing impacts in <br />the Overlay Zone are considered significant when shadows would be cast upon <br />potentially sensitive uses during a substantial portion (greater than 50 percent) <br />of the main daylight hours (9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the fall, winter, and <br />spring seasons, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. [daylight savings time] during the <br />summer season). Light-sensitive uses are those that depend upon light for their <br />operation (e.g., solar panels) or for which solar access is essential for their <br />function (e.g., swimming pools). Light-sensitive uses also include public parks, <br />residences, and routinely useable outdoor spaces associated with residences <br />(e.g., yards). <br />4.1.2 Does the Project propose changes that would result in new significant impacts or <br />substantial increase in the severity of significant impacts that will require major revisions <br />of the Certified EIR? <br />The Project includes the demolition and removal of all existing improvements from the Project <br />Site and development of the site with a mixed -use development including up to 507 residential <br />dwelling units, approximately 26,800 square feet of commercial uses, and associated parking, <br />utility infrastructure, landscaping, and open space, all of which is allowed under the Overlay Zone <br />and is consistent with the Overlay Zone standards. The Project does not include any development <br />that would extend beyond the building envelope, including height, considered in the Certified EIR, <br />and no changes are proposed to the Overlay Zone to accommodate the Project. As demonstrated <br />below, the Project would incorporate the applicable mitigation measures identified in the Certified <br />EIR and would not result in any new or increased significant aesthetics impacts beyond those <br />already identified in the Certified EIR. <br />Replacing development at the Project Site, a majority of which is a parking lot, with a mixed -use <br />development constructed with high -quality materials and containing publicly accessible open <br />Cabrillo Town Center City of Santa Ana <br />Technical Memorandum August 2023 <br />City Council 18 — 496 10/3/2023 <br />
