Chapter 3 Comments and Coordination The communities located along the project segment have developed general, community, and local coastal plans that contain goals, policies, and implementation measures. Because of the high level of public scrutiny that development policies and projects receive within the study area, the policies contained in the general, community, and local coastal plans for the study area reflect residents’ values and their expectations regarding the level of protection local governments will provide for their visual environment. Existing Viewer Groups, Viewer Exposure, and Viewer Awareness Drivers along U.S. 101 within the project segment would be able to view the coastal setting on both sides of the highway through lateral vision. However, due to the high speed at which cars travel on the highway, the drivers’ focus is usually along the line of travel rather than the peripheral views. Since cars may be traveling at high speeds on U.S. 101, drivers and passengers along the highway would have moderate exposure and awareness of the project segment. Drivers’ concerns about the project impacts on their views would be moderate in the U.S. 101 Northern Portion Landscape Unit and moderate to moderately high in the U.S. 101 Southern Portion Landscape Unit because of differences in visual character and quality. Cyclists along U.S. 101 within the project segment would also be able to view the coastal setting on both sides of the highway through lateral vision. Cyclists would have moderate to moderately high exposure and awareness of the project segment and moderate to moderately high concerns for the impacts on their views resulting from the project. Community Residents Carpinteria A portion of the City of Carpinteria is located within the project segment. The residential developments are located next to the NB side of the highway at a higher elevation than the SB side of the highway. The residents have background views of the Santa Ynez Mountains to the north; middleground views of the highway; vegetation along the roadway, hills, and other residential development; and foreground partial views of the Pacific Ocean. The surrounding views of the communities within Carpinteria are much more diversified. Residents of Carpinteria would also value the existing visual resources. The residents of Carpinteria would have high exposure and awareness of the project viewsheds, as well as high concern for impacts on their views resulting from the project. The city has limited views of U.S. 101. 102 IS/EA VEN-SB US101 HOV Project
Chapter 3 Comments and Coordination Rincon Point Rincon Point consists of single-family homes facing the southwest towards the Pacific Ocean. The backdrop of the dramatic coastal bluffs to the northeast of U.S. 101 can be viewed while exiting the community or when residents face northeast from their location. Because the community of Rincon Point is located in a relatively isolated point along U.S. 101, it is presumed that its residents value the existing visual resources greatly. The residents would have high exposure and awareness of the project viewsheds, as well as high concern for the impacts on their views resulting from the project. The community has limited views of U.S.101. La Conchita The single-family residences in the community of La Conchita are primarily oriented towards the Pacific Ocean. Because the community of La Conchita is located in a relatively isolated point along U.S. 101, it is presumed that its residents value the existing visual resources highly. The residents of La Conchita would have high exposure and awareness of the project viewsheds, as well as high concern for the impacts on their views resulting from the project. The community has direct views of U.S. 101. Mussel Shoals The single-family homes and Cliff House Inn in Mussel Shoals are primarily designed to allow residents and visitors to enjoy the views of the Pacific Ocean, facing mainly southwest. The backdrop of the coastal bluffs to the northeast of U.S. 101 can be viewed while exiting the community or when visitors/residents face northeast from their location. It is assumed that both residents and visitors place considerable value on the existing visual resources and views within the community. The residents of and visitors to Mussel Shoals have a relatively high exposure to and awareness of project viewsheds, as well as potential impacts resulting from the proposed project. The community has partial views of the U.S. 101. Industrial and Commercial Development – Employees The employees of industrial and commercial development off U.S. 101 on both sides of the roadway have views of the highway, hillsides, and Pacific Ocean. Employees in Carpinteria may not value the existing visual quality as highly as residents in the communities mentioned above; however, employees who work mostly outdoors or whose offices look out over the mountains or ocean beyond would likely place higher value on existing visual resources. Therefore, it is presumed they would have moderate to moderately high exposure and awareness of the project viewsheds, as well as moderately high concern for impacts on their views resulting from the project.
