Section 2. Scope of Work (continued) Light and Glare - The existing light and glare characteristics of the project area will be described. Sources of glare and night lighting will be identified. The impacts of the proposed Redevelopment Plan include potential spillover light from new schools, public facilities, and parking areas. The EIR will evaluate light and glare impacts on adjacent uses that may accompany individual redevelopment projects. Mitigation measures will be recommended to prevent the creation of new light and glare through the use of non - reflective materials, landscape barriers, lighting design, and other methods. Land Use - Existing land uses within the project area and the applicable general plan and zoning designations will be discussed, along with other applicable land use ordinances. Exhibits and photographs of the site and surrounding developments will be provided, as well as maps of the existing general plan and zoning designations. The Redevelopment Plan will be analyzed for conformity to existing city ordinances and policies. Required amendments and permits that will be necessary to process public facility developments will be identified. Proposed changes to the General. Plan land use .map and the zoning map will be mapped, when needed. The EIR will also discuss the project's impact to the City's residential neighborhoods. The proposed Redevelopment Plan will result in changes in land use. Where specific locations for individual projects have been identified, their land use impacts shall be analyzed in greater detail. Since the proposed Redevelopment Plan will have no eminent domain powers, land use impacts are likely to be limited until the school districts or the City have acquired the properties. Natural Resources - The EIR will discuss the project's impact on local and regional natural resources. Natural resources as they relate to individual project construction may be grouped in two categories: 1) air, mineral, and water resources; and 2) resources which will be used in project construction (e.g. aggregate for concrete, metals for steel). The analysis will include the presence of mineral resources and natural resource extraction activities in or near the project area. Air and water resources are discussed in other sections of the EIR. The impacts of construction under the Redevelopment Plan include the irretrievable commitment of construction material resources and energy resources. This will be addressed in the EIR. Measures to conserve existing natural resources will be identified. Risk of Upset - The EIR will describe hazards present in the project area that could result in human injury and property damage. Seismic hazards will be City of Santa Ana Redevelopment Plan EIR 2.9
