1 5.1 AESTHETICS This section describes the City s scenic resources, and landscape and neighborhood characteristics, and addresses the potential impacts on aesthetic and visual resources associated with implementation of the General Plan Update Environmental Setting The City of Fontana is located on a desert valley floor between the San Gabriel Mountains to the north and the Jurupa Hills to the south. Elevations range from approximately 1,700 feet above mean sea level (msl) in the northern portion of the valley and 1,000 feet msl in the southern portion. West and southwest of the City are the Cities of Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario, respectively; to the east is the City of Rialto Scenic Views The San Gabriel Mountains are the City s most prominent visual feature, rising dramatically above the community with scenic views toward the mountains. Panoramic views also exist from the base of the mountains toward Fontana. The Jurupa Hills the highest point in the City at 1,900 msl offer scenic vistas of the San Gabriel Mountains and surrounding valleys, particularly from Martin Tudor Jurupa Hills Regional Park, which contains bicycle and hiking trails. Other significant natural landforms in Fontana include Lytle Creek and other dry washes that have intermittent water flow from the mountains, and are visible from the I-15 corridor in the northern portion of the City. There are no scenic highways officially designated by Caltrans within or adjacent to the Project area, and no roadways within the Project area are currently eligible for scenic highway designation (CALTRANS, 2018)

2 Figure View of the San Gabriel Mountains Aesthetic Characteristics of City Land Use Types While scenic views are often characterized by views of a natural feature or aesthetic resource from a distance, closer-range views of immediate surroundings also may be considered visual resources, as these views contribute to a neighborhood s local character. As such, the following provides a brief description of the general aesthetic character of the most prominent land use types within the City. General Overview The City of Fontana is a highly urbanized area, and includes residential, commercial, industrial, and open space uses. The City s overall community design reflects 20th-century suburban models characterized by separated land uses and limited connectivity. The highest concentration of development is within the central City Core area, which includes single- and multi-family dwelling units and numerous businesses located along Sierra Avenue, the main north-south corridor in the City. Residential Older residential areas and smaller subdivisions tucked between other land uses are designed with houses set back and facing the street. Older parts of the City consist of a modified grid pattern, including some cul-de-sacs with single-family and some multi-family buildings, typically with short setbacks from the sidewalk or street. Large-block residential developments created 5.1-2

3 through specific plans, starting in the 1980s, display the curved streets and cul-de-sac design of suburban-style development. Planned development areas are typically inward looking, with few connections to arterials. Developments along arterials in newer areas are usually walled or fenced, and the majority of single-family homes along main arterials have their back and side yards facing the arterial street. Figure South Fontana Homes Built in the 1980s Commercial / Retail Other than downtown Fontana, which has a few retail blocks with buildings built to the sidewalk, retail and commercial uses in the City can be characterized in four ways, discussed briefly below (City of Fontana, 2016). All four are designed with the car in mind, but the newer developments include sidewalks along streets and buildings, and substantial landscaping. Stand-alone retail: These are usually one story, with one or two curb cuts, and are surrounded by parking lots. Older neighborhood centers: These retail areas tend to be characterized by low-value strip commercial and stand-alone buildings set back from the street. A supermarket, drug store, or similar store often anchor these strip shopping centers, which have parking in front. Newer retail clusters: This development combines several retailers in one location, and is usually situated at an intersection and anchored by a gas station. Large neighborhood centers/small regional centers: This newer retail is organized into shopping centers with perimeter buildings located around parking. This type of commercial development is largely disconnected from residential areas, and is located near regional arterials, such as SR-210 or I

4 Figure Falcon Ridge Town Center, Fontana Industrial and Spheres of Influence Industrial development is located primarily along I-10 in the southern portion of the City, and in the western Sphere of Influence. Newer warehouse districts are characterized by very large boxes along well-landscaped streets. Industrial districts also include older areas with a variety of businesses, many focused on trucking (City of Fontana, 2016). Figure Modern Warehouses near the Target Distribution Center, Fontana 5.1-4

5 Open Space Fontana s open space is a mix of foothills, utility corridors, and parks. Open space on foothills is located in the north of the City, at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and in the south in the Jurupa Hills. The nearby mountains are part of the Angeles and San Bernardino National Forests, and trailheads in their foothills connect to the Pacific Crest Trail (City of Fontana, 2016). SOURCE: City of Fontana website: Figure Village Park, Fontana Light and Glare Due to the Project area s urbanized character, lighting and glare are often found throughout the Project area. Sources of lighting include street lights; lighting associated with parking areas, storefronts, and signage; and lighting originating from interiors of structures (i.e., homes, offices) that can be seen from the exterior. Glare resulting from sunlight or artificial light can be produced by headlights at night, and reflection off signage, windows, and other shiny surfaces

6 5.1.2 Thresholds of Significance For the purposes of this analysis, implementation of the General Plan Update may have a potentially significant impact if it were to result in any of the following: Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area It should be noted that this analysis is conducted as part of the Program EIR for the General Plan Update. Therefore, site-specific, case-by-case analyses of project impacts to visual resources shall be completed as specific development is proposed in the future Environmental Impacts Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? The northern and southern portions of the City have direct lines of sight to the San Gabriel Mountains and the Jurupa Hills, respectively (considered scenic resources for this analysis). Since these areas of the City are closest in proximity to the San Gabriel Mountains and the Jurupa Hills, a potentially significant impact could occur if viewsheds to these scenic resources were obscured by development. In the north and south of the city, master planned communities developed through the specific plan process since the 1980s are not expected to experience substantial land use changes over the next 20 years, as these areas are built out. Therefore, viewsheds in these areas will be largely unaffected by the implementation of the proposed General Plan Update, since few deviations in land use patterns are proposed in these areas. Proposed changes include enhancing connections to local destinations (e.g., parks, schools, retail centers) through safe pedestrian and bicycle routes, as well as walking trails (see Table 5.1-1, below). Such changes would be implemented at ground level and, therefore, would not interrupt views of the scenic resources to the north and south (namely, the mountains and hills). In addition, open spaces in these areas would be preserved, thereby eliminating the potential for structural development to obscure viewsheds (only structures related to the management of resources would be permitted). The construction of connection routes and trails in the northern and southern portions of the City would be governed by the land use regulations and development standards in the specific plans. Furthermore, as presented in Table below, General Plan Update land use goals, policies, and actions will ensure that: 1) land use pattern changes will be consistent with the Strategic Policy Map and the Future Land Use Map; 2) existing open space resources will be 5.1-6

7 preserved; and 3) future connections within existing master-planned neighborhoods will provide enhanced opportunities to access local amenities. Therefore, with compliance with identified goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan Update and applicable regulations outlined in specific plans, implementation of development associated with the General Plan Update will result in a less than significant impact on scenic vistas. As presented in Table below, General Plan Update goals, policies, and actions applicable to the preservation of existing master planned neighborhoods and the provision of neighborhood connections include the following: Table General Plan Update Goals, Policies, and Actions Applicable to Neighborhood Preservation and Connections Goals & Policies Community & Neighborhoods Actions Goal 4: Traditional and master-planned neighborhoods of single-family houses continue to thrive and attract family households. Continue to support existing traditional and master-planned neighborhoods with excellent City services. Land Use, Zoning, and Urban Design A. Provide safe walking and biking conditions within traditional neighborhoods and in connections to citywide pedestrian and bicycle routes. B. Use the Active Transportation Plan to identify walk-sheds of ½-mile radius and bike-sheds of 3-mile radius for safe and comfortable pedestrian and bicycle routes to schools, parks, and shopping areas. Goal 2: Fontana development patterns support a high quality of life and economic prosperity. Preserve and enhance stable residential neighborhoods. Preserve land to achieve an interconnected network of environmentally sensitive areas, parks, multi-use paths, and recreation areas. A. Preserve, protect, and connect existing master-planned neighborhoods. B. Recognize and respect that the established design patterns of many of Fontana s existing neighborhoods are unique and different from policies for new and future neighborhoods. C. Create Connected Neighborhood planning districts that link established master planned neighborhoods to each other and to nearby school, park, and shopping destinations with walking and biking routes

8 Would the Project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? As previously stated, there are no officially designated scenic highways within or adjacent to the Project area. Nonetheless, the General Plan Update proposes goals, policies, and actions relative to trees and historic buildings (no rock outcropping exist within the City). The Conservation, Open Space, Parks and Trails Element (Chapter 7 of the General Plan Update) proposes policies and actions to support tree conservation and planting, and expand the City s tree canopy, in order to preserve and expand the city s urban forest with drought-resistant trees. Additionally, this Element proposes the development of a Tree and Shade Master Plan, which would provide best management practices to enhance resilience of City trees during high heat levels. Refer to Table 5.1-2, below, for the goals, policies, and actions proposed in the General Plan Update specifically related to the protection, inventorying, and planting of trees as part of a robust forestry plan for Fontana s urban desert environment. Table General Plan Update Goals, Policies, and Actions Applicable to Trees Goals & Policies Conservation, Open Space, Parks and Trails Goal 3: Fontana has a healthy, drought-resistant urban forest. Support tree conservation and planting that enhances shade and drought resistance. Expand Fontana s tree canopy. Actions A. Preserve and expand the city s urban forest with drought resistant trees. B. Inventory the city s urban forest, using volunteers if needed, and estimate the size of the tree canopy. C. Perform a cost-benefit analysis for Fontana s trees. D. Review the Fontana Tree Policy Manual regularly and update it to incorporate new best practices. E. Develop a Tree and Shade Plan for the longterm benefit of Fontana. F. Expand the tree canopy in Fontana to 25% cover. G. Create connected networks of shaded corridors. H. Prioritize expansion of street trees as part of the revitalization effort for downtown and adjacent neighborhoods. I. Create a tree donation program for public parks and other public spaces. J. Plant fruit-bearing trees in order to create community orchards

9 With regard to historic resources, there are three individual National Register of Historical Places (NRHP) sites, one California Register of Historical Landmarks site, and at least 12 California Points of Historical Interest in the City of Fontana. The Community & Neighborhoods Element (Chapter 4 of the General Plan Update) outlines specific goals, policies, and actions for the preservation and adaptive re-use of historic resources (Table 5.1-3). Table General Plan Update Goals, Policies, and Actions Applicable to Historic Resources Goals & Policies Community & Neighborhoods Actions Goal 1: The integrity and character of historic structures, cultural resources sites and overall historic character of the City of Fontana are maintained and enhanced. Coordinate City programs and policies to support preservation goals. Support and promote community-based historic preservation initiatives. Designate local historic landmarks. Provide appropriate tools to review changes that may detract from historic integrity and character. A. Designate a staff person in the Planning Division with responsibility for historic and cultural resource issues and as a liaison to the Fontana Historical Society. B. Establish and maintain a thorough inventory of historic sites to be kept in the Planning Division and at the Historical Society. C. Review the Historic Resources Inventory prepared in the 1990s and other resources to develop an authoritative listing. D. Create a ranking system and priority list to identify the most important historic sites in Fontana to ensure that these sites are protected by Article XIII of the Fontana Code. E. Seek assistance in reviewing and completing the Historic Resources Inventory, creating a priority list, and researching and preparing any sites to submit for listing. F. Adopt incentives to encourage and streamline adaptive reuse of the most important historic structures. As there is no officially designated or eligible scenic highways within or adjacent to the Project area, implementation of the General Plan Update will result in a less than significant impact to scenic resources within a state scenic highway. Moreover, compliance with identified goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan Update, and applicable state and local regulations, will result in a less than significant impact on scenic resources in the Project area

10 Would the Project substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? As discussed in Section , the Project area is an urbanized, largely built-out area that includes residential, commercial, industrial, and open space uses. The overall community design of Fontana currently reflects its development history and a strong reliance on planned development models for large residential communities, shopping centers, and the warehouse industry. As such, in accordance with the Land Use, Zoning, and Urban Design Element of the General Plan Update, future development within the City would largely consist of infill development and redevelopment of previously built sites to accommodate new growth, as well as annexation of land within the Sphere of Influence to improve entrance corridors. In addition, the Community and Neighborhoods Element and Downtown Area Plan identify the need to redevelop older neighborhoods; provide more compact, walkable, mixed-use developments with new housing and shopping opportunities; and revitalize the central core of the City. The ultimate design of these new developments could have a potentially significant impact on visual character or quality of the Project area and its surroundings. A guiding principle contained within the Land Use, Zoning, and Urban Design Element of the General Plan Update is to pursue high-quality development by making public investments a model of excellent design and maintain high-quality design standards for new development. As such, the proposed goals, policies, and actions in the General Plan Update embrace urban design as a cornerstone of infill, redevelopment, and new construction. More specifically, the Land Use Element, Community and Neighborhoods Element, and Downtown Area Plan delineate the nature and extent of new development types within the City, and provide actionable guidance with regard to the ways in which urban design can shape the aesthetic character of new development. The following discusses proposed land use changes, and how those changes could impact visual character and quality of the Project area. Following this discussion is Table 5.1-4, which presents applicable goals, policies, and actions relating to visual character). Infill development in central Fontana is a prominent strategy in the General Plan Update, and several policies encourage the revitalization and redevelopment of downtown and older neighborhoods in the central core. To that end, the General Plan Update proposes two new land use categories that could potentially impact the visual character of the central core and surrounding areas. The Walkable Mixed-Use Downtown and Corridors (WMXU-1) and Walkable Mixed Use Urban Village (WMXU-2) would allow development to occur in the City s downtown area and on vacant underutilized lots in adjacent areas. The general character of WMXU-1 and WMXU-2 is described below: WMXU-1: WMXU-1 would allow a combination of commercial development and multi-family housing that could be vertical (housing or offices above ground-floor commercial development) or horizontal (housing and commercial uses are located adjacent to one another). WMXU-1 residential densities would range from 24 to 39 dwelling units per acre and

11 non-residential uses would have a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.0. Light industrial uses within WMXU-1 would be prohibited, other than conditional allowances of small-scale, artisanstyle businesses having no adverse urban design and other impacts (i.e., heavy truck traffic) on neighboring uses. WMXU-2: New housing subdivisions under WMXU-2 would provide for a mixture of housing densities and types (multi-family, townhouses, single-family houses) with appropriate transitions between each. WMXU-2 also would provide for neighborhood-serving retail, open space, and civic uses. The WMXU-2 category is intended to enhance walking opportunities to shopping, schools, and parks within or outside of the subdivision. Residential densities would range from 12 to 24 dwelling units per acre, and non-residential uses would have a maximum FAR of 1.0. The Land Use, Zoning, and Urban Design Element indicates that zoning associated with WMXU-1 should include design requirements for a compatible mixture of uses and densities in this area, and should ensure that a proper transition in density occurs adjacent to streets with single-family houses. Under WMXU-2, site design would facilitate multi-modal connectivity internal to the site and external to connect with adjacent areas. For example, each subdivision would use design strategies rather than walls to connect to streets and adjacent development. Moreover, formbased zoning would be applied to the WMXU categories, thereby guiding the design of the physical form the developments will take (i.e., relationship between building facades and public places like sidewalks, streets and plazas; the form and mass of buildings in relation to one another; and the scale and types of streets and blocks). In addition to the City s central core/downtown area, the General Plan Update encourages the creation of compact and walkable urban village-style design in new developments. For example, additional development or redevelopment along the City s major corridors (e.g., Foothill and Valley Boulevards and Sierra Avenue) would involve construction of multi-family housing and mixed-use development where vacant and underutilized land currently exists. Mixed-use subdivisions are proposed to be built in areas with vacant land, providing a variety of housing types and a mix of retail and service areas. Furthermore, transit-oriented development is proposed in several areas with the potential for annexation. These areas include Arrow Boulevard west of downtown; the small residential area bounded by San Bernardino, Locust, Randall, and Alder Avenues; and an area along Foothill Boulevard between Almeria and Hemlock. Infill, redevelopment, and new construction as described above would alter the visual character in areas in which that development would occur. However, the Land Use, Zoning, and Urban Design Element provides specific strategies and recommendations to ensure that urban design applied to new and existing development would be visually appealing and compatible with existing development, and would enhance connectivity throughout the City. While the visual character could change substantially with implementation of the General Plan Update (e.g., infill development where no structures currently exist; new mixed-use development on underutilized land), such changes are more likely to be considered a beneficial aesthetic

12 impact and an improvement to the views within the Project area, rather than an adverse impact. As discussed previously, few significant changes are expected in the land use patterns in north and south of the City, and any changes will continue to be governed by the land use regulations and development standards in the specific plans for these areas. No changes are proposed to open space uses in the City. Table 5.1-4, below, presents the General Plan Update goals, policies, and actions applicable to visual character. Table General Plan Update Goals, Policies, and Actions Applicable to Visual Character Goals & Policies Community & Neighborhoods Actions Goal 5: New housing developments are organized as walkable villages linked to citywide destinations. Support regulations that promote creation of compact and walkable urban village-style design in new developments. A. Develop regulations for new developments through Area Plans and in PUDs that promote efficient, walkable neighborhoods with access to amenities and city destinations. B. Create walkability and connectivity performance standards for new housing developments. C. Encourage mixed-use amenities as anchors to walkable neighborhoods and corridors, particularly within a ½-mile radius of planned Bus Rapid Transit stops. D. Locate neighborhood-serving businesses within walking and biking distance of a significant percentage of units in new subdivisions and housing developments. Goal 6: The safe, attractive, and lively central part of the city has new infill development and infrastructure and public realm improvements. Support revitalization of the central area of the city with an integrated approach including mixed-use development, infill housing, infrastructure improvements, interconnections, and placemaking programs. A. Create a committee focused on the central area of the city to meet regularly about strategy to implement the Downtown Area Plan (in Chapter 14) and other developments and improvements in that part of the city. B. Implement the Downtown Area Plan. (Refer to Chapter 14.) C. Establish a Downtown Management District and hire a Downtown Manager to promote public and private investment, as well as programming, and to implement the Downtown Area Plan

13 Table General Plan Update Goals, Policies, and Actions Applicable to Visual Character Goals & Policies Actions D. Establish a Downtown District Committee of property owners, business owners, and residents to work with the Downtown Manager. E. Explore the organizational structure of the Main Street America Program as a model for Fontana s Downtown District Committee ( org) F. Promote education, arts and culture as part of the Downtown Area Plan. G. Enhance existing arts and culture options (the Art Depot, the theater and the new amphitheater for example) with new entertainment options and supporting housing and businesses, such as restaurants. H. Establish a program of public realm and infrastructure improvements for neighborhoods in the central are of the city. I. Engage residents, students, members of faith based communities, and other volunteers to perform rapid neighborhood audits of the public realm in the central area of the city to aid in targeting and prioritizing resources for public improvements. J. Review and prioritize audit results for inclusion in the improvements program for the i3 neighborhoods and publish the results of the audit and review. K. Amend commercial zoning along the Sierra Avenue, Foothill Boulevard, and Valley Boulevard corridors to be consistent with updated land use categories to promote more compact, mixed-use and walkable commercial districts. L. Use the zoning tools prepared for the Downtown Code prepared with the Downtown Area Plan to designate intersections and segments of corridors currently zoned for commercial development to change to mixed-use development including housing, especially at planned transit stops

14 Table General Plan Update Goals, Policies, and Actions Applicable to Visual Character Downtown Area Plan Goals & Policies Actions Goal 4: Reinvigorate the Foothill and Sierra corridors with a mix of retail, employment, mixed-use and housing development as an economic engine for the downtown area, and as gateways to downtown. Ensure that future street improvements for Foothill and Arrow Boulevards and Sierra Avenue improve the appearance and pedestrian environment while accommodating traffic flows. In addition to high-quality commercial development, encourage housing in appropriate forms along these corridors. Concentrate higher development intensities within a 1/2 mile of planned transit stops, with shared parking arrangements when feasible. Land Use, Zoning, and Urban Design Goal 7: Public and private development meets high design standards. Support high-quality development in design standards and in land use decisions. A. Prepare, adopt and implement updated zoning and design guidance for the Gateway Corridors to help ensure that infill development contributes to the new Downtown Gateway character of these key corridor segments. B. Prepare a Foothill Boulevard plan that includes a new four-lane Downtown Gateway segment with enhanced pedestrian facilities and landscaping, extending approximately one mile east and west of Sierra Avenue. A. Make it a priority to hire a planner with urban design training and expertise when an opportunity for new staff arises. B. Ensure that public and private developments are attractive, comfortable, and welcoming by following the urban design principles in Chapter 14, Downtown Area Plan. C. Design new housing in walkable neighborhoods that are connected to adjoining neighborhoods. D. Design new neighborhoods by integrating them into existing street grids. E. Establish transitions in scale and density from surrounding areas. F. Ensure that parks or playgrounds are located within safe walking distance of residences (1/4 mile to 1/2 mile). G. Establish safe connections between neighborhoods and schools. H. Expand active transportation options by providing new pedestrian and bicycle connections to and from neighborhoods to nearby commercial or activity centers. I. Design streets to include accessible, attractive, and comfortable pedestrian ways

15 Table General Plan Update Goals, Policies, and Actions Applicable to Visual Character Goals & Policies Actions Goal 3: Update the City zoning code to ensure its compatibility with the General Plan. Support zoning changes that promote implementation of the Plan. A. Adopt the Downtown Code prepared in conjunction with the Downtown Area Plan. B. Create corridor zoning for the Walkable Mixed Use-1-Downtown and Corridors land use category using the Downtown Code as a foundation. C. Create zoning for the Walkable Mixed Use -2- Urban Village land use category. D. Revise and amend zoning for the Regional Mixed-Use land use category. In conclusion, policies and actions included in the Land Use, Zoning, and Urban Design Element, the Community and Neighborhoods Element, and the Downtown Area Plan are consistent with the principles and goals stated in the General Plan Update for those chapters. Additionally, urban design that will shape the character of new construction for infill, redevelopment, and new development would be guided by the policies and actions in the General Plan Update, as well as the City s Zoning and Development Code, which is required to be consistent with the City s General Plan (City of Fontana, 2017). Therefore, implementation of development allowed under the General Plan Update will have a less than significant impact on the existing visual character and quality of the Project area and its surroundings. Would the Project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Development resulting from implementation of the General Plan Update would create new light sources in areas that were previously vacant or underutilized, and additional sources of light in previously developed areas in which infill or redevelopment occurred. New light sources are expected to be in the form of exterior building and signage illumination, street lighting, lighting associated with new transit shelters, and security lighting in parks and on trails. The light associated with increased vehicle traffic (i.e., headlights) in areas that were previously vacant also could be a new source of light and glare. These new sources of light and glare could have a potential impact on existing residential areas of the City. Given the City s urbanized character and associated light and glare sources that currently exist, and given that the proposed development would largely be located adjacent to existing development with light and glare sources, development under the General Plan Update would represent a continuation of existing lighting conditions that would be substantially similar to existing conditions. Additionally, since lighting is considered important for a sense of security and safety, the installation of lighting in parks and transit shelters, and the addition of lighting on

16 neighborhood streets, could be considered a beneficial amenity, rather than an adverse impact. Goals, policies, and actions included in the General Plan Update encourage the addition of light sources in places such as parks and trails for security purposes. Future development in the City would be required to comply with existing City regulations relative to light and glare to address light and glare impacts to adjacent properties. Section of the Fontana Municipal Code requires low-level security lighting for all multiple-family residential common parking areas, and for all other uses anticipated to have night-time activity. In addition, all lights must be directed and shielded to prevent light and glare from spilling over onto adjacent properties (thereby avoiding an adverse effect), and lighting design must be compatible with the architectural style of related buildings (City of Fontana, 2017). With compliance with the Fontana Municipal Code, implementation of development under the General Plan Update would result in less than significant impacts of light and glare on day and nighttime views Mitigation Measures While no significant aesthetics impacts have been identified that require mitigation to less than significant levels, the following mitigation measures are considered as best practices to be applied to future projects, as necessary, to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. The following list of mitigation measures is not all inclusive of mitigation measures that may be adopted for future projects but serve as a guide and performance standards that constitute the minimum level of measures to reduce environmental impacts to acceptable levels. MM-AES-1 For future development associated with the project located in or adjacent to residentially zoned property, the following General Condition of Approval shall be imposed: Construction documents shall include language that requires all construction contractors to strictly control the staging of construction equipment and the cleanliness of construction equipment stored or driven beyond the limits of the construction work area. Construction equipment shall be parked and staged within the project site to the extent practical. Staging areas shall be screened from view from residential properties with solid wood fencing or green fence. Construction worker parking may be located off-site with approval of the City; however, on-street parking of construction worker vehicles on residential streets shall be prohibited. Vehicles shall be kept clean and free of mud and dust before leaving the project site. Surrounding streets shall be swept daily and maintained free of dirt and debris
