7C <br /> Page 29 <br /> Findings: Impfementation of fhese measures would reduce urban design <br /> related visual impacts to a less-than-significant level. <br /> F. lnternal Visual ReEationship of Proiect Development to Electrical <br /> Transmission Lines <br /> Potential Impact 5-7: The quality and livability of the closest project residences <br /> could be substan#ially impacted by views of #he PG&E electricai transmissian lines and <br /> associated towers that traverse the easement immediately north ofi the project site. These <br /> visual effects would represent a potentially significant visual impact. <br /> Mitigation 5-7: The following measures shall be implemented to reduce the <br /> degree of electrical transmission fine visual impact: <br /> 1. No residential structure shall be located within 100 feet of the edge of the <br /> easement. <br /> 2. Prospective residents of all project residential units within 200 feet af #he <br /> edge of the transmission fine easement sha11 be notified in writing by the <br /> devefoper that there are transmission lines within that distance; this <br /> natification shall be achieved by including such disc(osure in the sales <br /> materials to be signed by project residents. <br /> 3. Reduce the visua[ impact of the existing transmission towers and lines <br /> thraugh incor�oration in the project landscaping plan of strategic planting <br /> along the length of the projecYs border with the overhead transmission <br /> line easement, subject to approval by fhe Community Development <br /> Services Department and Public Works Ssrvices Department. <br /> 4. Similarly, use strategic landscaping at other key on-site vantage points <br /> with views of these transmission lines and towers to reduce their adverse <br /> impact on the visual quality of the community. <br /> Findings: Even with implementafion af these faur recommended measures, <br /> however, the adverse v9sual impact of these existing tower fines, given their height and <br /> prominence, would nat be concealed or reduced to less-than-significant levels and would <br /> therefore represent a significant unavoidab€e impact. This impact ;s afao overridden by <br /> project bsnefits as set forth in the s#atement of overriding considerations. <br /> Itl. POPULATION, HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT <br /> A. Resident Population Growth ' <br /> Potential [mpact 6-1: Project-related resident popufation growth (estimated at <br /> 1,660 new residents} has the potential to cause a number of popufation-related significant <br /> adverse environmental e�fiects and also contribute to a number of signi�cant cumulative adverse <br /> environmental effects (traffic, public services, noise, and air quality} as described in ather <br /> chap#ers of the ElR, representinr a po±entia!!y sigr,ifcant project and cum:�la±ive impact. <br /> Atty/Reso/Reso.1772 g <br /> 121307 <br />
