REDEVELOPMENT PLAN IMPACTS 4. ENVmONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS 4.5. LIGHT AND GLARE The Program EIR states the following significance tlrreshold for light and glare: "A project will generally result in significant light and glare impacts if the project includes lighting features that will shine onto adjacent properties, interrupt operations of a light sensitive use (such as an obs.ervatory), or produce intrusive glare effects. " The Redevelopment Area currently consists of residential, commercial and industrial development of varying intensities; each of which utilize relatively high levels of lighting for interiors and exteriors, security, parking, signage, and landscaping. 41 Traffic in the area may produce light and glare effects from headlights and from reflections off vehicle windows and chrome. Roadways, sidewalks, and building materials, including windows can also reflect sunlight, thereby producing glare. New construction within the Redevelopment Area has the potential to increase light and glare from the same type of sources. PROJECT IMPACTS The proposed project consists of approximately seven (7), two to four story buildings, each interconnected with arcades, verandas, and bridges and each having courtyards, terraces and patios. These buildings will cluster around a piazza in a Mediterranean style and include several architectural towers, one of which could be as much as 115 feet in height and located in the center of the site. Acting as a visual buffer from the freeways to the south and west, a grove of trees will be planted along the southern property boundary, adjacent to the Los Angeles River. In addition, there will be a parking structure which will be five levels above ground, with a helipad above the top level. Each of these elements would require interior and exterior lighting for security, parking, walkways, signage, landscaping, etc. Lighting on the DreamWorks Animation Campus will 41 Program E/R.

4. 5. Light and Glare likely be visible from surrounding properties and may spillover marginally onto adjoining properties. However, because the project site is located within an M1 Zone (Restricted Industrial) area and is surrounded by uses pennitted in that zone to the west, north and east, and by the Los Angeles River, soccer fields beyond the Los Angeles River, and a freeway to the south. lighting spillover from the site will not have a significant effect on any uses considered sensitive to night lighting. Reflected glare from building materials is not expected to produce adverse effects on-site, on neighboring properties, or in the vicinity, due to the site's relative isolation and the varied architectural fonns indicated in the preliminary project design (see Figure 6 on page 56 in Section 4.6, Land Use.) The proposed project's buildings, parking structure, and the towers were also evaluated for potential shading impacts to adjacent land uses. .Shading is a common and expected occurrence in urbanized areas, including the San Fernando Road Corridor Redevelopment Area. All buildings, trees, landfonns and other features rise appreciably above grade cast shadows. Shading is positive when it provides cooling effects during warm seasons and the Glendale area can be quite warm during the summer months. It can also be negative, if shading of sensitive uses occurs for extensive periods, particularly in the cooler parts of the year. Redevelopment Plan shading impacts were not analyzed in the Program EIR, since shading is directly related to building size and location and evaluation on a program level when building masses are unknown is not productive. Analyses ofshading impacts are appropriate for individual projects, where sensitive uses might be affected. To detennine the extent of shadow cast by the project, this analysis examines the project elements which are the tallest and closest to the site boundary. Anticipated maximum shadow lengths for representative building heights on the DreamWodes Animation Campus are identified in the text table below. As shown, on the winter solstice, the highest proposed project structure, the 115 foot high central campanile, would project its longest shadow of 348 feet in a 45 0 westerly direction at 9:00 A.M. and in a 45 0 easterly direction at 3:00 P.M. At 9:00 A.M., the shadow would. not extend beyond the northwesterly project property boundary. At 3:00 P.M., the shadow would extend into the adjacent industrial property across Flower Street by approximately 55 feet. This distance exceeds the minimum required street setback line for M1 Zone properties by 45 feet. Because of their proximity to the property lines, other lower profile project structures would also cast shadows onto adjacent properties. For example, assuming a 40-foot height for the parking structure, 121 foot shadows would be cast some 91 feet into the adjacent property to the northwest and 38 feet into the adjacent property across Flower Street. Project buildings along the Flower Street frontage would briefly shade the frontage across Flower Street.
