City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Aesthetics, Light, and Glare Draft EIR 3.1-16 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/3 - Draft EIR/21480016 Sec03-01 Aesthetics.docx However, the proposed project would be subject to the requirements set forth by the California Energy Code (CCR Title 24, Part 6). Compliance with the applicable lighting and energy requirements established by the California Energy Code would ensure that light and glare from the proposed project would not spillover onto adjacent land uses. Specifically, California Code of Regulations Section 132 of Title 24, Part 6 regulates lighting characteristics such as maximum power and brightness, shielding, and sensor controls to turn lighting on and off. These standards require automatically controlled outdoor lighting so that it turns off during daytime hours and other times when not needed. Additionally, to further reduce impacts to less than significant, the proposed project would implement Mitigation Measure (MM) AES-4, which would require adhering to a design review process and the implementation of standards to minimize the proposed project’s daytime glare contribution. Therefore, glare impacts would be less than significant with mitigation. Level of Significance Before Mitigation Potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measures MM AES-4a Adhere to Design Review Process and Standards As part of the design review process for the proposed project, the applicant shall include the following features in its design review submittal: • Structures facing a public street or neighboring property shall use minimally reflective glass, and other materials and colors used on the exterior of buildings and structures shall be selected with attention to minimizing reflective glare. • Building windows shall be tinted with an anti-reflective material. Level of Significance After Mitigation Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. 3.1.7 - Cumulative Impacts The geographic scope of the cumulative aesthetics analysis is the visual area surrounding the project site. The analysis also considers the foreseeable development projects listed in Table 3-1 (See Chapter 3, Environmental Impact Analysis) in the City that would be visible from the project site. As shown on Exhibit 3-1, there are no cumulative projects close enough to the project site to be visible in conjunction with the proposed project. The General Plan EIR found that General Plan buildout would not result in a significant impact to the City’s visual identity, scenic resources, or light and glare after compliance with General Plan policies and the Municipal Code. The General Plan defines areas that are considered scenic resources and
