Since the building heights are not known, and for the purposes <br /> of this report, the maximum height of a building that would cast a <br /> shadow on surrounding residential areas will be evaluated. There are <br /> three major residential areas in the project vicinity that will be used <br /> to determine the height of the buildings (See Figure 30). Table 23 <br /> lists the maximum estimated height of a building that could be <br /> constructed on-site and not cast a shadow on the adjacent neighbor- <br /> hoods. As listed in Table 23 and shown in Figure 30, a building varying <br /> in height from 13 to 25 stories, depending upon location, could be <br /> located in the southeast portion of the site and not cast a shadow on <br /> residential area "A". Shadows from a building located in this area <br /> would not cast any shadows to either of the other residential areas as <br /> well. A building between 8 and 19 stories tall could be located in-the <br /> southwest portion of the site and not cast shadows to residential area <br /> "B". Again, none of the buildings in this area of the site would cast <br /> shadows to the other two residential areas. A building from 19 to 52 <br /> stories tall could be located along the northern project boundary before <br /> any shadows were cast to residential area "C". <br /> There are many areas on the site where multi-story buildings <br /> could be located so that the shadows from the structures would not <br /> extend to adjacent residential areas. An analysis for each building and <br />* its location would have to be prepared when the plans are available in <br /> order to determine the shadow impacts. Generally though, the closer the <br />4 proposed structures are located to the center of the site, the higher <br /> the buildings could he before they would cast shadows on adjacent <br /> residential areas. On the other hand, the closer that buildings are <br /> located to the project boundary in the vicinity of a residential area, <br /> the shorter a building would have to be in order that a building did not <br /> cast a shadow on an adjacent residential neighborhood. <br /> Depending upon the type of building exterior of the proposed <br /> buildings (glass, reflective mirrors), there could be solar reflection <br /> impacts. Both on-site and off-site reflections could occur throughout <br /> 140
