less-than-significant levels through the implementation of the mitigation measure <br />discussed above because the measure requires that public use facilities including roads <br />and water tanks be screened from view and integrated into the landscape. The planting <br />of trees and shrubs along roadways and adjacent to the planned water tank will visually <br />integrate newly constructed features with the surrounding landscape. <br />(ii) Remaining Impacts. <br />Any remaining impacts related to views of planned infrastructure features will be less <br />than significant. <br />2. Effect on the existing visual character of the surroundings (DEIR, pp. 71-73, <br />75-76 and 356; and Condition 23-25, 30, 33, 34, 36, and 54 of PUD-33; <br />MMIP A2). <br />a. Potentiallmpact. <br />It is possible that some Oak Grove residences may appear undesirably prominent. <br />b. Mitigation Measures. <br />The following mitigation measure is hereby adopted and will be implemented as <br />provided for in the Mitigation Monitoring and Implementation Program: <br />• Implement Oak Grove Planned Unit Development (PUD-33) Mitigation <br />Measure A2. <br />c. Findings. <br />Based on the EIR and the entire record before the City, the City finds that: <br />(i) Effects of Mitigation. <br />• The Environmentally Superior Project's potential impacts related to the visual <br />impact of new homes built on the site will be mitigated to less-than-significant <br />levels through the implementation of the mitigation measure discussed above as <br />the measure requires that homes on Lots 33 and 34 of the Environmentally <br />Superior Project shall be designated as "High Visibility Lots" in the development's <br />design guidelines. High Visibility Lots are defined in the Mandatory Design <br />Guidelines, and homes on such lots are subject to design measures, such as <br />limiting building size and requiring additional planting. <br />• The Environmentally Superior Project includes, as conditioned, design guidelines <br />controlling the lot-specific house, site, and landscape designs. The design <br />guidelines are tailored for the Environmentally Superior Project - 51 lots in a <br />hillside setting of topographically varied terrain backed by ridges, swales, and <br />Page 13 of 45 <br />
