<br />02/26/2007 <br /> <br />L. A shadow analysis was not undertaken for the Downtown Precise Plan because <br />the proposed maximum building height for Downtown (12 stories) does not <br />approach the heights proposed under the Marina Shores Village project (21 <br />stories). <br /> <br />M. A shadow analysis also was not undertaken for the Downtown Precise Plan <br />because the concern that sensitive natural habitats (the shoreline) and nearby <br />residences would be cast into shadow by tall buildings that were proposed in the <br />Marina Shores Village project are not implicated within the Downtown Precise <br />Plan area. The conditions that triggered City-adopted General Plan policies <br />specifically calling for the protection of sensitive natural and existing residential <br />environments do not exist in the Downtown Precise Plan area. Thus, the City's <br />decision to conduct shadow studies for the Marina Shores Village project and not <br />conduct them for the Downtown Precise Plan is entirely consistent with its <br />General Plan policies and development review practice. <br /> <br />***** <br /> <br />ATTY/RESO/RESO.1685 <br />022607 <br /> <br />14765 <br />Muff# 603 <br />
