compatible with one another when developed in accordance with applicable local and state land-use, zoning, and urban-design requirements.These types of uses are generally similar in nature and scale,and do not typically generate traffic noise,air emissions,light—glare or other effects that would adversely affect one another. On the other hand, limited industrial, office commercial, community college, and public facility uses are often of a different scale than residential and school uses, and sometimes generate noise,air emissions, light—glare, and other effects that can make them incompatible with adjacent residential and school uses. Several local regulations are in place to avoid land-use conflicts between proposed land uses.These include: MEW Policy 3.6.1(g),which requires that the placement,massing,and scale of commercial uses be oriented to pedestrians; ► MEW Policy 3.6.2(b),which requires neighborhood commercial uses adjacent to K-8 schools to locate access points away from school and school-yard entrances; ► MHMP Policies 3.6.3(a and q),which require community commercial uses to be located on arterials to minimize disturbance of residential uses,visual impacts of parking areas to be minimized through heavy landscaping,and community commercial uses to be developed under Special Purpose Plans approved by the _ County; ► MEIMP Policies 3.7(i and o),which require parking and loading areas associated with industrial and office uses to be located to minimize impacts on adjacent uses,and to separate industrial and office uses from residential uses by non-sensitive uses or other appropriate buffers; ► Delta College Final FIR Mitigation Measure 4.1-1,which requires landscape screening with evergreen — trees along the northern and eastern edges of the college where they abut residential and community park uses; ► MHCSD Urban Design Manual Chapter 12,which requires that the scale of civic buildings be appropriate and compatible with adjacent residential uses; and ► MHCSD Design Manual Chapter 14,which requires that public-works facilities be compatible with adjacent residential uses,be sited discreetly within landscape improvements,and that associated undesirable elements or functions be screened through landscaping and berms. Adherence to these requirements would result in a less-than-significant impact. As indicated in Section 4.14, "Visual Quality,"the development of proposed lighted recreational facilities at the - community park could result in the direct illumination of adjacent proposed residential uses,even with implementation of the General Plan,MIIMP,and MHCSD Design Manual requirements designed to avoid light— glare impacts. See Impact 4.14-3 in Section 4.14 of this Draft EIR for discussion and analysis.A significant — impact would occur. Mitigation Measure 4.2-2: Land Use and Agricultur"onflicts between Proposed Land Uses. Implement Mitigation Measure 4.14-3. Implementation of the mitigation measure identified above would reduce light glare impacts between the proposed community park and residential uses to a less-than-significant level.
