2. SCOPE OF WORK Using the updated information, analyze the existing visual character of the project area. The analysis will evaluate the existing visual attributes and patterns of the area and its surroundings according to objective descriptive categories: site location and spatial organization, land form, vegetation, land uses, surface waters, cultural features, and specific objects having aesthetic significance. The analysis will note any special visual sensitivity of groups of observers who "use" (or view) the existing site. Provide up to four photographs of the site documenting existing visual character. Describe, and provide schematic mapping that delineates the major regional viewshed(s) and/or view corridor(s) within which project structures would potentially comprise visually distinctive features. The map will identify any potential visual constraints to project development. Provide up to four photographs documenting the visibility of the project site in short-range, medium -range and long- range views, as applicable. Discuss the consistency of the proposed project with City design - related policies. Analyze and describe the changes in the visual environment that would result from project implementation in terms of the objective descriptive categories used to characterize the setting. Assess any changes in views within the viewsheds and visual corridors that include the project site, particularly in views from Lake Chabot Regional Park. Impact assessment will apply and clearly explain significance criteria that have been derived from the CEQA Guidelines (view obstruction or degradation, creation of a demonstrable negative aesthetic site, impairment of an object having aesthetic significance, conflict with adopted environmental plans and goals, or production of new light or glare). Discuss the extent to which the project has effectively incorporated mitigation measures, if applicable. As appropriate, identify additional measures to mitigate visual impacts of implementation of the project. Mitigation could include measures to establish and/or preserve view corridors across the project site, particularly in views from Lake Chabot Regional Park; provide screening for any infrastructure improvements; and promote conformity with relevant visual quality policies of the City of San Leandro. Optional Task - Visual Simulations As optional services, Environmental Vision can produce accurate, realistic visual simulations to illustrate the visual quality impacts of the proposed project and/or the alternative development plan from representative viewing locations, and/or computer -generated line -of -sight drawings to illustrate the visibility of the proposed development. As an additional optional service, 16 of 37 Boulders Residential Development EIR
