Individual

to
Comments
from
Individuals
100
feet
in
height
include
design
features
that
minimize
the
effects
of
the
building’s
lighting
on
bird
strikes
into
buildings.
The
Draft
EIR
concludes
that
implementation
of
Mitigation
Measure
4.A-4a
would
not
reduce
night
lighting
impacts
to
a
less-than-significant
level.
Impacts
would
remain
significant
after
mitigation,
primarily
given
the
level
of
nighttime
lighting
levels
typical
of
the
proposed
uses
(especially
the
entertainment-oriented
uses
proposed
in
the
DSP-V
scenario
that
would
involve
prominent,
lighted
displays),
and
the
existence
of
nearby
surrounding
nighttime
light-sensitive
uses
(residences)
that
would
be
affected.
Night
lighting
impacts
to
sensitive
species
are
addressed
in
Section
4.C
Biological
Resources
,
within
the
discussion
of
Impact
4.C-4,
as
well
as
in
Section
4.A,
Aesthetics
and
Visual
Resources
under
the
section
entitled
Effects
on
Nocturnal
Species
on
page
4.A-38.
There
are
several
performance
measures
included
within
biological
resources
mitigation
measures
to
nighttime
lighting
impacts,
including
Mitigation
Measures
4.C-4b,
4.C-4d,
and
4.C-4e.
Mitigation
Measure
4.A-4a
will
also
be
implemented
to
reduce
the
nighttime
lighting
effects.
For
daytime
glare,
implementation
of
design
features
required
by
Mitigation
Measure
4.A-4b
would
reduce
impacts
to
less
than
significant
(page
4.A-42).
Site-specific
development
plans
indicating
precise
locations
and
design
of
individual
buildings
are
not
required
by
City
regulations
for
concept
plans
and
specific
plan.
Neither
does
state
law
include
such
requirements
for
specific
plans.
In
the
absence
of
such
details,
the
Draft
EIR
undertook
an
appropriate
level
of
analysis,
including
performance-based
mitigation
measures.
See

for
more
information
on
the
level
of
detail
appropriate
for
a
Program
level
EIR.
The
comment
focuses
on
the
applicant’s
plan
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
and
does
not
address
any
substantive
issues
regarding
the
adequacy
of
the
EIR
or
its
analyses
and
conclusions.
See
1
for
discussion
of
the
adequacy
of
the
level
of
detail
used
in
the
programmatic
analyses
set
forth
in
the
Draft
EIR,
as
well
as
discussion
of
the
content
requirements
for
specific
plans.
As
discussed
in
that
Master
Response,
the
proposed
Brisbane
Baylands
Specific
Plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
meets
the
content
requirements
of
state
law
and
the
Brisbane
Municipal
Code.
