Visual Impact Assessment Sample Clauses

Visual Impact Assessment. I-680 in the project limits is an Officially Designed State Scenic Highway. The overall visual resource change and visual impact with the project features would be moderate. Overhead express lane signs would be visible to adjacent residential properties, and tree removal to accommodate pavement widening for the express lanes would remove visual shielding in some areas. Standard measures such as revegetation and aesthetic treatments would be implemented to reduce and minimize visual impacts.

Visual Impact Assessment. We will prepare a Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) that evaluates the visual impact of the project improvements from several key viewpoints. The FHWA Visual Impact Assessment for Highway Project guidelines shall be followed to quantify the visual analysis. This assessment shall describe the existing visual characteristics of the area involving the interchanges and vicinity, and any significant visual resources. The potential visual impacts from project construction and use of the widened and/or replaced bridge will be evaluated through the use of ground level photographs from viewpoints near the project site. Visual conditions and project impacts shall be quantified as required in the VIA guidelines for highway projects. Mitigation measures shall be recommended, if necessary, to reduce any significant impacts. The visual quality report would include view shed maps and character/quality unit mapping and typical photos of the adjacent visual environment. It would include mass diagram/model wire- frames for each of the alternatives being considered. These wire- frames would be added over site photos. Detailed visual simulations will be done for the preferred project. Multiple views will be included of the preferred alternative. An existing photo, proposed unmitigated and a mitigated version would all be provided. The VIA will be prepared under the supervision of a licensed Landscape Architect.

Visual Impact Assessment. 13.12.3.1 The review of the existing visual context highlights that there are a high number of visually sensitive receivers, but that, broadly, they can be classified into large groups with similar views or view types. Broadly the views can be considered in the following groups: (a) Distant views open to the site, e.g. from Hong Kong Island directly opposite the site, or surrounding high areas of Kowloon Hills; (b) Distant views partially screened to the site, e.g. the more inland areas of Hong Kong Island; (c) Adjacent views directly over the site and onward to Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island or Lei Xxx Xxx areas; and (d) Partially screened views from the more inland surrounding developed areas of Kowloon. 13.12.3.2 The first of these will be able to view the SEKD in its entirety and so gain realisation of the change in character of view rather than suffer an impact such as blocking of view, particularly as measures have been incorporated in to the layout plan, such as retention of ridgelines and view corridors. Thus they are considered to experience overall slight adverse impacts, although a foreshortening of the developed waterfront is accepted. 13.12.3.3 The partially screened views from more distant areas will in general, experience the introduction of the taller buildings within their views and not likely to result in major impacts. 13.12.3.4 Views from adjacent to the site will experience major visual impacts. These VSRs do not benefit from having views over the entire site, rather they experience more direct losses. The impacts will arise from the blocking of existing views either the harbour and Hong Kong and a severe foreshortening of views from open and distant to close proximity. As these impacts arise from the introduction of permanent buildings and structures, they will persist in the long term causing significant adverse residual impacts. 13.12.3.5 The views from the more inland areas of Kowloon which are already partially screened will, in general, experience only smaller impacts primarily arising due to the extension of the high- rise urban development and / or visual enclosure. 13.12.3.6 A summary of the residual visual impacts is given in Table 13.40 and shown Drawing Nos. 22936/LV/552 to 555. 22936-REP-0051-03 EIA Report ZONE 1: Harbour Front from Xxxxxx Xxx to Central Minor impacts in long term due to permanent introduction of some of the taller buildings and minor reduction in depth of views east. slight adverse slight adverse R...

Visual Impact Assessment. The CONSULTANT environmental team will prepare a Minor Level Technical Document for visual resources for the project. The study will follow methodology and protocol developed by FHWA and adopted by Caltrans and will include a discussion of the methodology, terms, and thresholds for significance; an overview of applicable local, state, and federal policies and guidelines regarding visual resources (including the general plan and state scenic highway guidelines); a description of the regional visual character and area specific landscape view shed units (which comprise the baseline conditions for assessing aesthetic impacts); a characterization of viewer groups and their responses to changes in views; an impact analysis which will focus on changes in key views, overall visual character, nighttime light, and daytime glare; and recommendations and mitigation measures to lessen potential project impacts. Deliverables:

Visual Impact Assessment. The revised/updated Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) is being prepared by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. The Draft VIA has been approved by Caltrans. LSA will review the revised/updated VIA for use as the basis for preparing the visual impact section of the Draft IS/EA. Specifically, LSA will update the Draft IS/EA with information from the VIA regarding the revised bridge design elements (i.e., cladding and special columns).

Visual Impact Assessment. 10.5.4.1 The main impacts will be visual rather than landscape due to the high number and sensitivity of the surrounding residential VSRs. The primary source of the impacts will be the screening of views westwards over the East Lamma Channel from Baguio Villa and Kong Sin Wan Tsuen, together with obstruction of views from Aegean Terrace and Wah Fu. As described earlier, the development has a series of features intrinsically designed into it in order to avoid the unacceptable visual impact of totally screening all views from the existing residential apartments. This has been achieved by measures such as the restriction of locating only 12 storey buildings in front of Baguio Villas. Additionally, all of the major view corridors have been retained, such as that from Kong San Wan Tsuen. However, on a development of this scope, scale and location, some visual impacts are inevitable. A summary of these visual impacts is given in Table 10.5.

Visual Impact Assessment. Using the results of Task 11.1, VHB would develop a brief discussion of the potential impacts to the visual environment resulting from the dam removal alternative, considering the expected visual experience, the distance from the project, the duration of view, the scenic quality of the view, and the expressed public value in either local, state or national planning or other documents. The visual assessment will be included in the final feasibility report.
