the visual impacts of this project to a less than significant level. These mitigation measures are Sq, Sr, 5s, St and 5u of the Final SEIR, pages 5-21 through 5-24. 5. PrQject T.andscaDin~ IMPACT: The Commission believes that visual conflicts could occur between the existing vegetation pattern of scattered oak woodland and grassland, and the uncontrolled introduction of irrigated turf or the extensive planting of exotic or non-native species. DEGREE: Potentially significant. FINDING: The Commission finds that implementation of mitigation measures for guidelines regarding landscape considerations for each lot, suggestions for the percentage of hillside yard area which must remain natural, and implementation of the project's Landscape Design Guidelines are feasible and have been incorporated into the project design or into the project by reference through conditions of approval, and will be effective in red\lcing the visual impacts of this project to a less than significant level. These mitigation measures are 50 and 5p of the Final SEIR, pages 5-20 through 5-21. 60 Fencinl!: IMP ACT: The Commission finds that inappropriate fencing could diminish the visual quality of the site, particularly if solid fencing is placed along Foothill Road, adjacent to open space areas or between lots on visually prominent hillside lots. DEGREE: Significant and avoidable. FINDING: The Commission finds that implementation of mitigation measures for limiting the location and height of solid fencing, providing guidelines for fence materials, utilizing and incorporating the existing white post and board fencing in key areas and prohibiting the use of chain link fence, and requiring landscaping for screening around permitted wire mesh fencing are feasible and have been incorporated into the project design or into the project by reference through conditions of approval, and will be effective in reducing the visual impacts of this project to a less than significant level. These mitigation measures are 5v (items i through iv) of the Final SE1R, page 5-24, and modifications thereto. 7. Lil!:htin~ IMPACT: The Commission finds that night-lighting on the site would change from the current minor and isolated lighting to that considered typical of residential development, ie street lighting, residential lights and vehicle lights. These changes in lighting would increase ambient light levels in the area, and would be apparent to adjacent residents and motorists along Foothill Road and perhaps 1-680. -6- 11 .
