Visual Impacts Sample Clauses

Visual Impacts. 40.3.1.1 Any development within the Protected Area must take due cognisance of the visual impacts it may have on surrounding areas and other Park users. SANParks has based its Specifications for visual impacts on interpretations of existing management documents. It is assumed that ‘visible’ means to the naked eye. Private Parties proposing to modify existing Facilities must consider the issue of visual impacts, and include in their proposals sufficient detail regarding the design of all structures to enable evaluation during the Bid evaluation process. Depending on the extent of the proposed modifications, an EIA may be required to assess the visual impacts, including signage, advertising, get up and the like, of the proposal and recommend mitigation measures, if necessary. 40.3.1.2 The building style -- structure, materials and design -- must be in harmony with the environment. The height of buildings is important. Structures more than two stories in height are not permissible. 1In the case of the SANParks, the ‘relevant environmental authority’ for review of EIAs conducted in National Parks is the national Department of Environmental Affairs.

Visual Impacts. It is not anticipated that the project will adversely affect any Designated Scenic Resources (such as rock outcroppings, historic properties, tree groupings, etc.) as defined by the CEQA statutes or guidelines or by Caltrans policy. Highway planting may be disturbed during construction. The project is not anticipated to result in long-term visual impacts if the removed plantings are replaced. Contractor staging areas will be least preferable where they are in proximity to residential development or directly adjacent to an officially designated State Scenic Highway. During construction operations, unsightly material or equipment in staging areas will be placed where it is less visible and/or covered where possible. Construction activities will limit all construction lighting to within the area of work and will avoid light trespass into residential areas through the use of directional lighting, shielding, and other measures as needed.

Visual Impacts. 07 Plumbing requirements and equipment. .08 Preliminary energy calculations for code compliance.

Visual Impacts. GROUND RULE 4.2.2.1 Areas with visual quality concerns raised through consultation shall be assessed and tactics shall be employed in the GDP and/or AOP to mitigate the impacts of harvesting and reforestation on visual quality. 4.2.2.2 Harvest areas within the modified harvesting zone 100 m to 400 m from Lesser Slave Lake and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lake, as per FMP Chapter 7, Section 3.4, shall be assessed to determine the likelihood of being seen from the lake and support the development of appropriate mitigation of visual impacts. Where the assessment determines mitigation is necessary, those prescribed actions shall be incorporated into the final harvest design. 4.2.2.3 There shall be no harvesting activities (felling/bunching, processing) inside of the Special Management Areas between May 1 and September 30 of each year. 4.2.2.4 For any proposed harvesting within 100 metres (at closest point) of Highway 754 to Wabasca, supplementary information in the AOP shall provide detail on buffering actions taken to ensure the visual quality is maintained. The details will include width of buffer proposed as well as composition of buffer including tree species and height.

Visual Impacts. 10.2.3.1 The assessment of the potential visual impact of the scheme comprises two distinct parts: • baseline survey; and, • visual impact assessment. 10.2.3.2 The baseline survey of all views towards the proposals is undertaken by identifying: • the visual envelope or visual zone within which the proposed development may be contained either wholly or partially with in views. This must also include indirect effects such as offsite construction activities; and, • the visually sensitive receivers within the visual envelope whose views will be affected by the scheme. The potential receivers are considered as three groups: (a) views from residences - the most sensitive of receivers due to the high potential of intrusion on the visual amenity and quality of life, (b) view from workplaces - less sensitive than above due to visual amenity being less important within the work environment, and; (c) views from public areas - including all areas apart from the above, e.g., public parks, recreation grounds, footpaths, roads, sea channels, etc. Sensitivity of this group depends on the transitory nature of the receiver, e.g. sitting in a park or travelling on a highway. Also considered is the degree of view or glimpsed views. 10.2.3.3 The sensitivity of each group is also influenced by its location and direction of view relative to the scheme. Typical viewpoints from within each of the visually sensitive groups are identified and their views described. Both present and future visually sensitive receivers will be considered. 10.2.3.4 The baseline survey will form of the basis of the visual character and quality of the site. The assessment of the potential visual impacts will result from: • identification of the sources of visual impacts, and their magnitude, that would be generated during construction and operation of the scheme; and, • identification of the principal visual impacts primarily in consideration of the degree of change to the baseline conditions. 10.2.3.5 The impact assessment will relate to the typical viewpoints within the visual receiver group, as identified previously, and their existing and potential views subsequent to the scheme development. The visual impact will result from consideration of the following: • character of existing view; • quality of existing view; • context and location of the visually sensitive receiver; • visual receiver group sensitivity; • degree of change to existing views; • other views available to visual receiver group; and, ...

Visual Impacts. Develop and incorporate a summary of the visual impacts for the build alternatives based on the potential sites and other features identified and analyzed under Tasks 2 and 3.

Visual Impacts. Given the scale and nature of the Project, and the quality and extent of existing views the adjacent VSRs would be subject to a slight to moderate adverse visual impact. Factors influencing the level of predicted impact include the nature of the existing road corridor and engineering works, the quality of the existing visual amenity and the density of the existing villages; and the enclosure formed by the adjacent development and the preserved trees. In addition it should be noted that for many of the villages the views would only be available from properties on the periphery of the settlement. Views from the inner most houses would be blocked by the properties and vegetation at the edge of the village settlements. The main impacts would be experienced by two key groups. The first would be the vehicle travellers and pedestrians using the road alignment and the second the residential properties adjacent to the main engineering works. These works include the widening of the bridge and the proposed cuttings and extensions to the existing embankments.

Visual Impacts. Given the scale and nature of the Project, the quality and extent of existing views to the adjacent VSRs would be subject to slight adverse impact. It should be noted that for many of the village settlements and residential developments, the views of the Project are limited to properties on the periphery of the settlement. Views from inner houses of the settlements would be blocked by surrounding properties and vegetation at the edge of the village settlements. Thus, the two key groups which would experience the main impacts would be vehicle travellers and pedestrians using the road alignment and residential properties which are directly adjacent to the main engineering works which include widening of road, construction of noise barriers and slope works. For vehicle travellers and pedestrians, they would have ‘moderate’ mitigated impacts during the operational phase at Day 1 and Year 10 (when the tree and shrub planting have matured). Although the mitigation measures would allow for improvement and softening of the Project, the impacts would persist. However, it should be noted that the visual amenity for these VSRs are characterized by the structures of the existing road, thus changes to the visual amenity are not significant. For residential VSRs, the mitigated impacts are also considered to be moderate during construction phase and Day 1 and Year 10 of the operation phase. It should be noted that these impacts represent the worst-case scenario for these VSRs located at the periphery of the settlements and that their view is characterized by Kam Tin and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Roads. For other VSRs, which are occupational, trail walkers and recreation users, the mitigated impacts would be slight and negligible during Day 1 and Year 10 of the operation phase. This is due to the restricted nature of the upgrading proposals and the roadside character of the existing view and having a small part of the scheme being visible to them.

Visual Impacts. 50.5.1.1 Any development within the Protected Area must take due cognisance of the visual impacts it may have on surrounding areas and other Park users. SANParks has based its Specifications for visual impacts on interpretations of existing management documents. It is assumed that ‘visible’ means to the naked eye. All changes (including lighting) at the airport should be considered in terms of visual impacts that will result. 50.5.1.2 The building style - structure, materials and design as well as internal decoration -- must be in harmony with the environment.
