P-2 . Potentially Significant Impact : Views of Mt . Diablo [ Impact 4 . 8-21 Views from public roads toward Mt . Diablo and the Mt . Diablo foothills to the west of the site would be screened by new buildings . Finding : Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR to a non-significant level . These mitigation measures are listed below. Statement of Fact : The impact will be mitigated by the following : • View corridors towards the foothills and Mt . Diablo will be protected and enhanced by the incorporation of east-west vehicle and pedestrian corridors throughout the Project site. These corridors must be landscaped with trees to frame views to the west , and must be at least 40 feet wide to allow open views . • An open space corridor along the Project ' s western edge must be incorporated into the Project . Although access should be controlled to minimize trespassing onto adjacent agricultural lands , this area could provide significant views of the hills without the interruption of buildings . • The Specific Plan will include a comprehensive sign regulation program. • See FEIR, Section 4 . 8 . P-3 . Potentially Significant Impact • Height Limits (Impact 4 . 8-31 Industrial buildings along major view corridors could be as tall as 100 feet . Such buildings would create a dominant visual feature in areas that : ( 1) are not intended as the commercial centers of the Project; (2) would contract significantly with adjoining agricultural lands; and (3) would severely limit views for the motorist . Residential areas proposed adjacent to on-site open space would allow buildings up to 76 feet in height, which would create a strong visual contrast to the open space and also generate long shadows . Finding : Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which avoid or C2-43 0189r/0202r
