10/11/2010 Attachment 1.A on pages 4.1 -46 to 4.1 -47 of the DEIR. b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measures are hereby adopted and will be implemented by incorporating the new policies described therein into the New General Plan to be adopted by the City: FEIR Mitigation Measure 4.1 -2 (p. 4.1 -47 of the DEIR). FEIR Mitigation Measure 4.1 -3 (p. 4.1 -47 to 4.1 -48 of the DEIR). C) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that Mitigation Measures 4.1 -2 and 4.1 -3 will reduce shadow impacts to a less than significant level because new projects in the major transportation corridors and Mixed -Use Waterfront Neighborhood would not be approved unless consistent with New General Plan shadow policies that require evaluation of potential shadow impacts, set criteria for significant shadow impacts for the major transportation corridors and Mixed -Used Waterfront Neighborhood and provide for mitigation of those impacts. Impact 4.1 -8: Development allowed by the New General Plan could increase building heights in Public Facilities, Schools, and Neighborhood Commercial areas adjacent to Low Density and Medium Density residential areas, and introduce new shadow effects in shadow - sensitive areas that could substantially alter the existing visual character of those areas. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 4.1 -48 to 4.1 -49 of the DEIR. b) Mitigation Measures. FEIR Mitigation Measure 4.1 -4 (p. 4.1 -49 of the DEIR) is hereby adopted and will be implemented by incorporating the new policy described therein into the New General Plan to be adopted by the City. C) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that Mitigation Measure 4.1 -4 will reduce shadow impacts to a less than significant level because new development and redevelopment projects in the Public Facilities, Schools, and Neighborhood Commercial areas would not be approved unless consistent with the New General Plan shadow policies that require evaluation of potential shadow impacts, set criteria for significant shadow impacts in the Public Facilities, Schools, and Neighborhood Commercial areas and provide for mitigation of those impacts. Impact 4.1 -9: The increased density and intensity of urban development allowed in the plan area could introduce new sources of light and glare, specifically within Downtown, the Bayfront, and the surrounding neighborhoods. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on page 4.1 -50 of the DEIR. b) Mitigation Measures.
