B. Adoption Of Conejo Creek Southeast Mitigated Negative Declaration And Supporting Information Referencing the Conejo Creek Master Plan, phasing plans, renderings of proposed vegetation, development permits, construction documents, and correspondence, Pluth identified and discussed major considerations, key findings of studies commissioned to further investigate potential lighting, acoustic, visual, and vehicular circulation -related impacts, and other entities involved with the site or the negative declaration process, including City of Thousand Oaks, American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), Cal Trans, and Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD). He indicated that the lighting study found that the existing "temporary" lighting system is inferior to the proposed lighting system in every way, causing maximum glare and spillover; the proposed lighting, with double shields for minimum glare, consists of 21 90 -foot poles, which would illuminate 9 of 12 soccer fields; and working closely with AYSO and collaborating with adjacent neighbors, the decision was made to not light the two easternmost fields. Regarding sound levels, he said that while there is a slightly projected increase to the maximum, it does not reflect a change in the average sound presence. He said that Cal Trans' proposed plans call for no freeway expansion to the east (towards Conejo Creek South) and no adjacent sound wall. Regarding traffic, Pluth said that the study found that the project would not significantly add to the existing levels of traffic, although detailed information pertaining to the CVUSD proposed development was not available. He noted the presence of AYSO Commissioner Tom Skiff. In response to Board inquiries, Pluth said the baseball field will not be lighted; the original mitigation declaration has already been made public; the declaration will be submitted to the City Planning Commission on February
