• The proposed project would create new sources of light and glare. The mitigation <br />measures require lighting plans and establish lighting criteria. The criteria would require <br />extensive shielding, lower exterior lighting levels in the auto mall vehicle storage areas, <br />and lower lighting levels by existing and proposed dwelling units. The mitigations would <br />require lower light standards (poles) at the auto mall by CLC, lower light standards on <br />roof tops, and all interior lighting to be turned off during non-operational evening hours, <br />with the exception of lighting needed for security reasons. <br />The proposed project would have the potential to expose future on site residents to <br />substantial Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) due the project's close proximity to the I-580 <br />freeway. As such, a proposed mitigation measure has been added which requires a <br />health risk assessment for all proposed residential units within 500 feet of the freeway. <br />The California tiger salamander, California red legged frog, and western pond turtle <br />could occur in the arroyo and its riparian habitat. Recommended mitigation measures <br />include providing construction monitoring, educating construction workers about the <br />possible presence of these animals, limiting construction to dry seasons when the red <br />legged frogs are less likely to be present, and providing fencing during construction. <br />• Both the white tailed kite and the northern harrier have been observed on the site. The <br />California horned lark is known to occur north of the I-580. Suitable nesting and <br />foraging habitat for the loggerhead shrike occurs on the site. Recommended mitigation <br />measures specifically related to birds include conducting nesting bird surveys and <br />limiting when grading and construction can occur to minimize nesting impacts. <br />• Recommended mitigation measures include limiting light spillover into the arroyo, and <br />considering wildlife in the design of the proposed parks by providing wildlife habitat <br />including opportunities for cover, food, and water for native and migratory wildlife. <br />The recommended mitigation measures would require each developer to prepare and <br />implement a site specific Water Quality Management Plan with targeted pollutant <br />removal rates and a pesticide management plan. The use of diazinon would be <br />prohibited or severely limited. <br />The recommended mitigations require deed disclosures about the proximity of the <br />Livermore Municipal Airport, the potential for noise, and other nuisances from aircraft <br />operations. The recommended mitigations also require CLC to be the initial contact for <br />any and all airport noise complaints from residents within its development. Disclosures <br />about potential nuisances from quarry operations would also be required. <br />Recommended noise related mitigation measures include the following: <br />Senior Continuing Care Community <br />Prior to PUD approval, require a noise study showing how noise impacts from traffic <br />on I-580 can be reduced and require appropriate noise reduction measures <br />Case No. PSP-11 and PRZ-44, ACSPA Planning Commission <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />
