Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? <br />B. Damage scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, rock outpourings and historic <br />buildings within a State highway? <br />No Impact <br />Approval of the proposed amendment to the Municipal Code to establish an ordinance for the regulation of <br />indoor sporting facilities would not result in adverse impacts to any scenic vista, or scenic resource, in that <br />future indoor recreation facilities implemented under the proposed ordinance would not be located in <br />areas that contain scenic vistas.
