Responses to Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance and extends above the existing sidewalk. An existing light-pink six-foot block wall currently abuts the western and northern boundaries of the site. As depicted on Figure 9, with implementation of the proposed project, the visual character of the site would generally be improved. The existing dilapidated sidewalk would be replaced with new sidewalk along the project's frontage with Segerstrom Avenue. Portions of the existing pavement within San Lorenzo Avenue would be replaced, generally improving the appearance of the roadway. The proposed lift station building would partially obstruct existing views of the motel, but the architectural characteristics associated with the proposed structure (i.e., light-colored brick walls with aSpanish-style roof) would not result in a substantial change to views in the project area. Finally, and as depicted on Figure 9, proposed landscaping improvements would enhance the general appearance of the project area. In sum, improvements proposed by the project would result in a generally positive change to the existing visual character and quality of the site and its surroundings, and impacts would not be significant. D. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Finding: No Impact. Analysis: Construction activities for the proposed project would only occur during the daylight hours, as nighttime construction activities would be prohibited by the City's Noise Ordinance (Part II, Chapter 18, Article VI, Section 18-314(e) of the City's Municipal Code}. Therefore, no night lighting during construction activities would be required. As part of the proposed project, two 32-Watt exterior lighting fixtures would be insta{led on the southern and eastern faces of the proposed lift station structure. The proposed 32-Watt lamps to be installed on the building would not result in the substantial generation of light. In addition, the proposed lighting fixtures are similar to existing street lights already located along Segerstrom Avenue. Further, Segerstrom Avenue is ahigh-volume roadway, and vehicle headlights already create sources of fight which far exceed that which would be produced by the proposed fixtures. Additionally, architectural elements associated with the proposed pump station building would not create any new sources of glare. Although the roof is proposed to be constructed out of metal materials, it also would be colored in a manner consistent with Spanish clay tile, which would effectively preclude the generation of glare. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not create a new source of substantial light ar glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area; significant impacts would not occur.
