Implementation A(5)(c)(Open Space).Landscaping,to serve as a visual buffer,shall be required for all non-residential uses along Minor Arterials and higher classification roadways. Mountain House Master Plan 1994 The MHMP contains the following visual resources policies that are applicable to the proposed project. Pre-Existing Land Uses within Mountain House(Section 3.2.4,Policy 3.2.41f]). Specific Plans for areas adjacent to pre-existing residential areas which will remain in residential use shall include provisions to ensure land-use compatibility between proposed and existing uses, and shall plan for future extension of urban services and facilities into these areas. Lighting(Section 4.2.6,Policy 4.2.6[b]). Lighting throughout Mountain House shall be designed to minimize glare and impacts to adjacent uses, especially residences. Sound Walls(Section 4.2.7,Policy 4.2.7[a]).Except for Central Parkway and other Arterial streets where homes are served by rear alleys or streets, community walls and fences shall be located and designed to assist in establishing the character of the community. Sound Walls(Section 4.2.7, Implementation a). Specific Plans and Special Purpose Plans,as appropriate, shall address the design of community and neighborhood walls,privacy fences,and open fences. Sound Walls(Section 4.2.7[b]).Community walls shall be blended into the overall landscape and shall not become the dominant visual element of the community. Walls(Section 4.2.71c]). Community walls shall be located along all R/L,RNL,and R/M uses abutting Arterial streets. Sound Walls(Section 4.2.7[d]).To avoid long continuous lengths of community wall/sound wall,residential areas abutting Arterials streets shall be designed to incorporate the following: • offsets in the location of walls and fences. • breaks in privacy walls to allow pedestrian and bicycle connections to the Arterial street. • cul-de-sac extensions to or near the arterial right-of-way and provide an opening from the Arterial into the neighborhood. • wall height limitation of 7 feet,if possible. J • provide extensive landscaping along walls to visually"soften"or hide the wall, and integrate the wall into r the streetscape. Sound Walls(Section 4.2.7[e]).Where applicable, low berms shall be used to reduce the height of walls. Walls shall not exceed 7 feet in height,not including berming. Siting Criteria for Community Facilities(Section 4.2.10,Policy 4.2.10[b]).Those public facilities that are of poor visual quality or conflict with the visual character of adjacent land uses shall be sited to minimize the adverse visual impact on the adjacent uses and the community in general. -a Landscape Concept(Section 4.5). Policy 4.5(g).All north—south arterials shall incorporate windrow tree plantings into the medians.
