UBLIC HEARING: Director of Development ... - City of Glendale

4. 16. Issues Not Included in the Focus of the Program EIR as Established in the Initial Study
Natural Resources. Development of individual redevelopment projects during the buildout
period will utilize traditional building materials and consume natural resources during
construction. The Initial Study concluded that this use was not significant.
Similarly, the construction of the 13.4-acre DreamWorks Animation Campus project (as
proposed to include the Victory Truck Boulevard easement) represents a very small portion of
the natural resources which may be consumed with implementation of the Redevelopment Plan,
and a statistically insignificant increment of all development and associated natural resource
consumption which may occur in the region by 2027 when the Redevelopment Plan is expected
to complete its implementation.
Aesthetics. The objectives of the Redevelopment Plan include improving the aesthetics
of the area. Because of this, the Initial Study concluded that aesthetically offensive development
is not anticipated, 109 and no further discussion of this issue was required of the
Redevelopment Plan. An evaluation of as yet unknown individual project designs would not
have been possible; though all future projects would be required to comply with the
Redevelopment Plan objectives.
To demonstrate that the DreamWorks Animation Campus complies with Redevelopment
Plan objectives, a discussion of aesthetic issues regarding the project is addressed in this
Addendum in Section 4.6, Land Use.
