Mitigation measure 3 <br />provides for planting of low shrubs along the sound wall, with <br />only occasional trees, to maintain views of the Ridge. <br />Mitigation measure 4 provides for the construction of the <br />Foothill Road realignment such that berms and planting will <br />block views of the roadway from viewpoints in the park. <br />The DEIR indicates on page 80 that changes in the <br />visual character of the Project site constitute a significant <br />unavoidable adverse impact of the Project. The DEIR further <br />states that the proposed mitigation measures cannot fully <br />mitigate this impact. <br />2. Findings. <br />a.
