8.A. - Page 58 <br /> Section 4: Evaluation of Environmental Impacts <br /> the Housing Element based upon the adopted General Plan policies, will have a less than significant impact <br /> on the visual character and quality of the City. <br /> d) Less than Significant Impact. Future housing development will result in new sources of lighting. Typical <br /> light sources from a single - family home will include outdoor security lighting. Multiple - family residential <br /> developments will generally include outdoor security lighting and parking lot lights, depending on the type of <br /> development. Future housing development will be required to conform to the lighting standards outlined in <br /> the development standards for various zoning districts in the Zoning Code and other relevant portions of the <br /> Municipal Code. The General Plan includes several policies and implementation programs to reduce light <br /> pollution and limit excessive sources of light and glare. Building materials such as metal and other reflective <br /> materials will be a typical source associated with glare in residential and mixed -use development. Pursuant <br /> to these standards, day and nighttime views will not be adversely affected because lighting will be <br /> appropriately shielded and glare will be minimized. New development will be evaluated during the standard <br /> design and environmental review processes to ensure that future development complies with these standards. <br /> With implementation of existing standards and procedures, impacts from light and glare caused by the <br /> adoption and implementation of the Housing Element will be less than significant. <br /> Redwood City Housing Element Initial Study 19 <br />
