PUD-93-02-09M 2001 Ruby Hill Boulevard d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare ^ ^ ^X ^ which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Discussion a-b) The proposed project is not located in an area designated as a scenic resource, scenic vista, or scenic highway. Therefore, this would be ales-than-significant-impact. c) The project consists of the relocation of an existing building within the same site, installation of a new driveway, and construction of a home in the future. The proposed future home would have Tuscan style that is compatible with the vineyard theme of the surrounding area. There are no scenic resources known that would be impacted.
