Individual

to
Comments
from
Organizations
Analysis
of
fire
protection
needs
was
based
on
performance
standards
provided
by
the
North
County
Fire
District,
as
well
as
performance
standards
of
the
Insurance
Services
Office,
Inc.
and
the
National
Fire
Protection
Association
(see
Draft
EIR
page
4.L-11)
that
were
also
reviewed
by
the
North
County
Fire
District.
All
development
within
the
Baylands
will
be
required
to
meet
the
performance
standards
set
forth
in
the
Draft
EIR.
This
comment
provides
no
evidence
as
to
why
“more
various
viewpoints
that
estimate
night
time
lighting
effects
should
be
listed.”
Starting
on
page
4.A-37,
the
Draft
EIR
evaluates
the
impacts
of
nighttime
lighting
on
land
uses
and
views,
as
well
as
impacts
on
nocturnal
species.
The
visual
simulations
illustrated
in
Figure
4.A-1
are
based
on
the
final
grade
elevations
within
the
Baylands
Project
site.
The
grading
plan
is
presented
in
Appendix
B,
starting
on
page
11
of
the
proposed
Brisbane
Baylands
Infrastructure
Plan.
Subterranean
parking
structures
are
not
proposed
within
the
Baylands.
In
general,
at-grade
parking
has
substantially
greater
nighttime
lighting
impacts
than
structured
parking
since
lighting
standards
for
at-grade
parking
are
located
outdoors.
Nighttime
lighting
of
parking
areas
was
included
in
the
analysis
of
lighting
impacts
to
the
degree
possible.
Because
no
site-specific
development
plans
are
proposed
at
this
time,
the
specific
locations
of
parking
areas
cannot
be
known.
Visual
simulations
from
higher
elevations
or
greater
distances
than
those
used
for
the
photo
simulations
in
Table
4.A-1
would
show
lesser
impacts
than
the
photo
simulations
presented
in
that
Table
by
providing
viewpoints
that
look
over
proposed
Project
site
development
and
reducing
the
apparent
size
of
buildings
by
using
more
distant
viewpoints.
As
discussed
in
Response
the
visual
simulations
presented
in
Table
4.A-1
provide
an
analysis
of
changes
in
views
from
a
reasonable
range
of
directions,
distances,
and
elevations
such
that
additional
viewpoints
are
not
needed.
The
additional
“Place
Making”
workshops
requested
in
this
comment
will
be
considered
as
part
of
the
planning
review
undertaken
by
the
City
for
the
Baylands.
The
inclusion
of
“living
roofs”
as
illustrated
in
Comment
will
be
considered
as
part
of
the
planning
review
undertaken
by
the
City
for
the
Baylands.
