BA Shade/Shadow, Solar Glare, Illumination <br /> 5.9.1 Environmental Setting <br /> Most of the existing structures on the site are single-story <br /> buildings with some buildings in Fashion Square Center two-story in <br /> heioht. There are several 12-story buildings in the project area such <br />b <br /> as the Fidelity Savings building south of Mainstreet Center and two <br /> office buildings adjacent to and north of the Garden Grove Freeway. <br />I- <br /> The solar reflections originating from the project site are <br />u very minimal, if not non-existent, since none of the existing on-site <br /> buildings have reflective-type (mirror or reflective glass) surfaces. <br /> There may be some solar glare from the glass windows of the buildings, <br /> but the glare is not significant. <br /> The illumination on the site (parking lot lights, security <br /> lights, store lights, signs, etc.) is not out of character with the <br /> surrounding developed urban areas. The light poles in the parking lots <br /> are used for lighting the parking lots only and are not directed off- <br /> site or used for flood-lighting large areas. There are light poles on <br /> the top level of the Fashion Square parking structure, but these are <br /> low-intensity lights and are used only to light the top level of the <br /> structure. There are no high-intensity illumination sources on the <br /> site. <br /> 5.9.2 Impacts <br />j <br /> Project Impact <br />i. <br /> It is not known at this time the height or the location of the <br /> proposed buildings. Since the site is located in Height District II <br /> (see Figure 17), there is no absolute height limit. <br /> 139
