Reduce project building heights to approximately 50 feet, as noted in Mitigation Alternatives 5 -2 -1 and 5 -3 -1, to minimize interference with dark sky views. If buildings taller than 50 feet are developed, some degree of tinting should be considered for glazing to reduce the nighttime visual impact of residential units.
