<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />D. <br /> <br />SCENIC VIEWS AND VISTAS? ..x.-. NO <br /> <br />YES <br /> <br />AUAR: <br />Any impacts on such resources present in the AUAR should be addressed. This would <br />include both direct physical impacts and impacts on visual quality or integrity. "EA W <br />Guidelines" contains a list of possible scenic resources (page 13). <br /> <br />There are no scenic resources for which the visual quality or integrity will be impacted by <br />the proposed campus expansion. Refer to Item 26 for more discussion ofvisuai impacts. <br /> <br />E. <br /> <br />OTHER UNIQUE RESOURCES? ..x.-. NO <br /> <br />YES <br /> <br />26. VISUAL IMPACTS <br /> <br />EAW: <br />WILL THE PROJECT CREATE ADVERSE VISUAL IMPACTS? (EXAMPLES <br />INCLUDE: GLARE FROM INTENSE LIGHTS; LIGHTS VISIBLE IN WILDERNESS <br />AREAS; AND LARGE VISIBLE PLUMES FROM COOLING TOWERS OR EXHAUST <br />STACKS.) IF YES, EXPLAIN. l NO YES <br /> <br />AUAR: <br />If any non-routine visual impacts would occur from the anticipated development covered <br />by the A UAR review, this should be discussed here along with appropriate mitigation. <br /> <br />The proposed development will not create non-routine adverse visual impacts, although it <br />will alter views of the AUAR study area from the adjacent properties. Adjacent residences <br />could experience visual impacts such as increased light. However, the addition of multi- <br />story buildings to the area is not visually inconsistent with other development in the area. <br />In addition, the proposed development is consistent with the City's existing and future land <br />use for this site. <br /> <br />Existing vegetation located along the western and northwestern portion of the site between <br />the study area and adjacent residents will continue to provide a visual buffer. Additional <br />mitigation will be incorporated into site development plans that will be submitted to the <br />city, including lighting in the parking ramps that will be shielded and directed downward to <br />minimize glare that could be transmitted to adjacent residences. Additional planting of <br />deciduous, overstory, and coniferous trees will be planted all along the west and <br />northwestern portion of the site. Visual impact of the parking ramps will be further <br />minimized by constructing two levels below grade, thereby reducing the overall height of <br />the ramps. <br /> <br />Guidant Campus Master Plan <br />Draft AUAR <br /> <br />- 54- <br /> <br />September 2002 <br />
