Chapter 2 CEQA Findings <br />Impact Statement <br />Impact 4.1-3 Long-term <br />cumulative development <br />occurring pursuant to the <br />Transit Zoning Code, and <br />associated infrastructure <br />improvements would result in <br />new sources of increased <br />daytime glare. <br />Impact 4.1-4 Long-term <br />cumulative development <br />occurring pursuant to the <br />Transit Zoning Code would <br />result in new sources of <br />spillover light. <br />Evidence/Rationale Supporting Findings <br />The Agency believes that compliance with <br />MM4.1-1 which requires that design of the <br />proposed structures primarily include the <br />use of textured or other nonreflective <br />exterior surfaces and nonreflective glass <br />will reduce daytime light and glare. <br />Discussion is provided on page 4.1-24 of <br />the FEIR (Volume 1). <br />The Agency believes that compliance with <br />MM4.1-2 and MM4.1-3, which require that <br />exterior lighting (including signs) be <br />directed on-site only and be shielded from <br />off-site uses and also requires the <br />submission of a lighting plan for approval <br />by the City prior to the issuance of a <br />building permit, will eliminate new sources <br />of spillover light. <br />Discussion is provided on page 4.1-25 <br />and 26 of the FEIR (Volume 1). <br />Mitigation Measures <br />AESTHETICS AND VISUAL QUALITY <br />MM4.1-1 Proposed new structures shall be <br />designed to maximize the use of textured or <br />other non-reflective exterior surfaces and <br />non-reflective glass. Building materials shall <br />be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to <br />issuance of building permits for each project. <br />MM4.1-2 All exterior lighting and advertising <br />(including signage) shall be directed onto the <br />specific location intended for illumination <br />(e.g., parking lots, driveways, and walkways) <br />and shielded away from adjacent properties <br />and public rights-of-way to minimize light <br />spillover onto adjacent areas. <br />MM4.1-3 Prior to issuance of a building permit <br />for a specific development project, the <br />applicant shall submit a lighting plan to the <br />City for review and approval. The plan shall <br />specify the lighting type and placement to <br />ensure that the effects of security and other <br />outdoor lighting are minimized on adjacent <br />uses and do not create spillover effects. The <br />plan shall specifically incorporate the <br />following design features: <br />¦ All projects shall incorporate project <br />design features to shield light and/or glare <br />from vehicles entering or exiting parking <br />lots and structures that face sensitive <br />uses (e.g., schools, hospitals, senior <br />housing, or other residential properties) <br />Findings <br />Finding 1 <br />The Agency finds that changes or alterations <br />have been required in, or incorporated into, the <br />project which would avoid or substantially <br />lessen the significant environmental effect as <br />identified in the final EIR. <br />Finding 1 <br />The Agency finds that changes or alterations <br />have been required in, or incorporated into, the <br />project which would avoid or substantially <br />lessen the significant environmental effect as <br />identified in the final EIR. <br />Level of <br />Significance after <br />Mitigation <br />Less than <br />significant <br />Less than <br />significant <br />Transit Zoning Code (SD 84) EIR Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations 2-3
