Individual
Responses
to
Comments
from
Individuals
not
include
site-specific
development
projects,
the
type
of
analysis
tool
suggested
in
this
comment
would
require
speculative
site
planning
of
the
Baylands
to
allow
readers
to
“zoom
in
and
out”
of
particular
locations.

The
potential
for
bird
strike
impacts
of
potential
wind
turbine
development
within
the
Baylands
is
addressed
in
Section
4.C,
Biological
Resources
.
The
placement
of
geothermal
wells
within
the
Baylands
is
not
proposed
under
any
of
the
proposed
development
scenarios,
nor
is
it
included
in
any
of
the
alternatives
addressed
in
the
Draft
EIR
due
to
a
lack
of
evidence
that
conditions
exist
at
the
Baylands
to
support
such
use.
Analysis
of
daytime
glare
that
might
result
from
the
development
of
solar
panels
within
the
Baylands
is
addressed
in
Section
4.A,
Aesthetics
and
Visual
Resources
,
of
the
Draft
EIR.
Section
4.A
addresses
potential
impacts
on
visual
resources
in
relation
to
impacts
on
scenic
vistas
by
analyzing
the
potential
for
proposed
Baylands
development
to
block
views
of
scenic
resources.
The
visual
simulations
used
in
that
analysis
are
based
on
maximum
allowable
building
heights,
and
therefore
include
the
potential
impacts
of
roof-mounted
solar
installations.
As
noted
in
the
Draft
EIR’s
analysis
of
potential
impacts
on
the
existing
visual
character
of
the
site
and
its
surroundings,
the
City
of
Brisbane
maintains
a
design
review
process
to
address
the
visual
character
of
proposed
development.
Implementation
of
that
process,
along
with
implementation
of
Draft
EIR
Mitigation
Measure
4.A-3,
would
result
in
less
than
significant
impacts
on
the
visual
character
of
the
site
and
its
surroundings.
Land
use
compatibility
with
the
existing
Kinder
Morgan
Tank
Farm
is
addressed
21.
Habitat
restoration
and
enhancement,
as
proposed
in
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-2c,
have
been
successfully
undertaken
in
suitable
areas
throughout
the
state.
Chapter

provides
maps
indicating
proposed
development
for
the
entirety
of
the
Baylands
Project

each
of
the
four
concept

the
Draft
