Where on-site parkland is dedicated, it should be improved, maintained, and accessible to the general public in accordance with General Plan Policy 22.02. Implementation of Mitigation Measure #36 reduces potential recreation impacts to a less than significant level. Aesthetics The proposed project could change the visual character and quality of the project site, which is currently vacant and currently surrounded by low-rise, light industrial and commercial buildings. The proposed development of the project site would introduce more intensive uses, thereby introducing visual elements and features that could contrast with the existing visual landscape creating a potentially significant impact.

Mitigation Measure #38: The Applicant shall be required to apply street lighting standards and other exterior lighting standards that are designed to reduce glare on adjacent properties. New lighting shall be designed to reduce adverse impacts by using techniques such as automatic shut off controls and glare shields and by appropriately orienting and positioning fixtures at a height consistent with the intended use, in accordance with General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure D4. Implementation of Mitigation Measures #37 and #38 reduces potential aesthetics impacts to a less than significant level. Cultural Resources Construction activities could result in ground disturbance that would cause a substantially adverse change in the significance of an unknown archeological resource.
