Aesthetic and Visual Resources 1. Effect on the existing visual character of the site (DEIR, pp. 70-71, 75 and 355- 356; Conditions 23-25, 30, 33, 34, 36, and 54 of PUD-33; MMIP A 1). a. Potentiallmpact. Infrastructure elements on the site (streets and private drives; utility elements, including pumping stations, and water tanks; and other public or quasi-public facilities) may present an unattractive appearance unless adequate screening is provided. b. Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measure is hereby adopted and will be implemented as provided for in the Mitigation Monitoring and Implementation Program: Implement Oak Grove Planned Unit Development (PUD-33) Mitigation Measure A1. c. Findings. Based on the EIR and the entire record before the City, the City finds that: (i) Effects of Mitigation. The Environmentally Superior Project's potential impacts related to the visual impact of the construction of infrastructure on views toward the site will be mitigated to less than significant levels through the implementation of the mitigation measure discussed above, because the measure requires that public use facilities including roads and water tanks be screened from view and integrated into the landscape. The planting of trees and shrubs along roadways and adjacent to the planned water tank will visually integrate newly constructed features with the surrounding landscape. (ii) Remaining Impacts. Any remaining impacts related to views of planned infrastructure features will be less than significant. 2. Effect on the existing visual character of the surroundings (DEIR, pp. 71-73, 75- 76 and 356; and Condition 23-25, 30, 33, 34, 36, and 54 of PUD-33; MMIP A2). a. Potentiallmpact. It is possible that some Oak Grove residences may appear undesirably prominent. Page 12 of 43
