City Place Sky Lof7s Final Environmental Impact Report Findings 4.1.6.4 Level of Significance of Impacts Related to Cumulative Conditions of Road Segments in 2010 The temporary adverse cumulative impacts of the City Place Sky Lofts project related to the Main Street road segment between La Veta Avenue and Town & Country Road cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance. 4.2 POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS OF THE CITY PLACE SKY LOFTS PROJECT WHICH CAN BE MITIGATED TO BELOW A LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE Potentially significant adverse impacts of the City Place Sky Lofts project which can be mitigated to below a level of significance are described in this Section. The City of Santa Ana City Council finds that these potentially significant adverse impacts of the project would be mitigated to below a level of significance, after implementation of the identified project mitigation measures. 4.2.1 AESTHETIC IMPACTS RELATED TO LIGHT AND GLARE 4.2.1.1 Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts Related to Light and Glare As described in Section 4.2 (Aesthetics) of the EIR, light associated with the proposed residential tower and packing structure would add to the amount of existing light on and near the project site. Sources of light would include outdoor lighting and light from windows in the residential tower and town homes, and nighttime security lighting for the parking structure. This additional light would be potentially significant. Implementation of the proposed project could result in additional glare from sunlight reflecting off of glare-producing building materials. This impact would be potentially significant. 4.2.1.2 Finding Related to Light and Glare Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR. 4.2.1.3 Facts in Support of the Finding Related to Light and Glare Implementation of mitigation measures AS-2 and AS-3 would reduce the potential impacts to light and glare to less than significant levels. AS-2 The project proponent will ensure that all outdoor lighting and fixtures, including lighting for construction, are shielded or designed and located to minimize nighttime light spillage onto adjacent uses. Outdoor fixtures will be designed to generate less than 0.25-foot candle power of light where possible and will direct lighting toward the interior of the project site. AS-3 Non-reflective materials shall be utilized to the extent feasible. Building site plans shall be reviewed and approved by the City Planning and Public Works Department.
