The project site is located in the southern section of the City within the Palm Park <br /> Neighborhood. The project site is not located within, adjacent to, or within the vicinity of a <br /> scenic vista, scenic resource,or a state-designated scenic highway.Thus,neither the project <br /> construction nor long-term build out would impact such resources. <br /> c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its <br /> surroundings? <br /> Less-than-Significant Impact. The existing visual character of the project area is urbanized and <br /> is comprised predominantly of residential structures. Properties surrounding the project site <br /> include a mix of newer and older single-family residences to the west,townhome-style <br /> buildings to the north, and multi-family residential apartment buildings to the east and south. <br /> An adjacent property to the east is developed with a commercial retail building fronting <br /> Woodside Road. The project site is currently developed with three single-family residences, <br /> ancillary structures, and yard space. The proposed project would include construction and <br /> development of 12 single-family residences. <br /> The project would have a temporary impact to the visual character of the area during <br /> construction. The visual impacts from construction would arise from the presence of bare <br /> ground, demolition activities, construction stockpiling, and views of construction equipment. <br /> The construction would be relatively short in duration at 16 months, and the views to the <br /> project site are limited in extent. It would be primarily only visible to the immediately <br /> La Palma Subdivision Project <br /> Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br /> 19 <br />
