conditions of approval, and will be effective in reducing the-impacts of this project to a less than significant level. 4. Non-¢OnfOrm~c~ w/West Foothill Road Corridor Overlay District IMPACT: The Council finds that although lack of conformity with the WFRCOD ordinance standards would not create an adverse environmental impact regarding land use, per se, but since the City adopted these standards to protect the character of Foothill Road and ensure that the impacts of residential development are minimized, the Council does find that-lack of conforrnance with the WFRCOD may have an adverse effect on the environment. DEGI~: Potentially Significant. FINDING: The Council finds that the implementation of the WFRCOD Alternative (Chapter 11, Figure 114 of the Final S~'R) with a modification of the required Foothill Road setback of 150 feet to a staggered setback requirement of 120 to 135 feet and with a modification of the required 200 feet between lot clusters to open space areas of 180 and 200 feet as measured between building envelopes, in conjunction with other mitigation measures requiring an increase in interior lot widths, specific landscape and architectural guidelines and in combination with other mitigating features of the Site design such as culs-de-sac and the potential for varied house orientations, meet the intent of the WFRCOD. These measures are feasible and have been incorporated into the pwject design or into the project by reference through conditions of approval, and will be effective in reducing the impacts of this non-conformity to a less than significant level. These measures are 51 (a modification of the WFRCOD Alternative), 5o, 5q, 5r, 5s, St, 5u, 5v and 5w. 5. Unassured retainment and maintenance of Foothill Road oven svace easement IMPACT: The City Council finds that retainment and maintenance of open space easements and open space areas along Foothill Road is essential is pwmoting visual quality and main~g the Foothill Road character, and intent of the WFRCOD. A lack of specific-standards, guidelines or maintenanee/management pwgrams is considered a potentin!ly significant impact. DEGI~-F-: Significant. FINDING: The Council finds that preparation of an open space management program by the developer (Conditions 12 and 13), and preparation of specific guidelines for the open space easement area along Foothill Road and the properties abutting them (Condition 14), with maintenance responsibilities assigned to a Landscape and Lighting District (t ,Lr3) [Condition 7], in combination with modifications to the project architectural and landscape guidelines which specify the locations of accessory su'ucmre~ and landscape qualities of these open space easement areas (MM 3g and 5u), are feasible and have been incorporated into the pwject design or into the pwject by reference through conditions of approval, and will be effective in reducing the impacts of this non-conformity to a less than significant level.
