Facts in Support of the Finding The effects of the changes in the visual character in the area and the introduction of additional lighting have been substantially reduced, to a level of insignificance, through the incorporation of the following mitigation measures into the project: ]'he landscaped buffer currently proposed for the easterly edge of the production facility site will include a block wall at least 6 feet high to minimize views of project structures from Linwood Avenue residences. The landscaping adjacent to the block wall will include tree species that will grow to a height in excess of 6 feet. Similarly, a landscaped buffer will be placed along the eastern edge o~ the parking area south of Sixth Street to reduce potential adverse visual impacts on McClay Street Residents. Outside light fixtures will be consistent with the City of Santa Ana building code and with the requirements of the City of Santa Aha Police Department and will be designed and installed at angles to reduce light intruding onto adjacent land uses. The remainder of the parking and roadway lighting will be 20-foot high poles with cutoffs on the property line side. The lighting levels will be the minimum recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. The interior lighting in the parking structure in Phase Il will be high intensity and will be angled to reduce light escaping from the facility and onto adjacent land uses. On all levels of the garage at or above grade, the garage will be designed to prevent automobile headlights from illuminating offsite. The delivery truck routes through the site and the truck dock areas adjacent to the press buildings will be designed to minimize any fugitive light offsite from the trucks and the on site light fixtures. Windows in the proposed structure will be recessed slightly to minimize potential glare. All trash receptacles will be within enclosures and will not be in landscaped areas or in direct view from public streets. The Register will install a wall and landscaping across Sixth Street at McClay Street consistent with the existing wall and landscaping along Sixth Street adjacent to the existing Register facilities. The Re~ister will enter into negotiations with representatives of the Saddleback View Neighborhood Association on the height and building material for a fence/ soundwall to be constructed along the eastern boundary of the Register property between Sixth and Fruit Streets. The Register has agreed to coordinate the design and implementation of the walls and landscaping along Sixth Street and the eastern property line with the Saddleback View Neighborhood Association to ensure that these walls are compatible with the adjacent residential properties.
