Planning requirements and seasonal limits on local construction-noise restrictions also affect projects.

Proposed mitigation and design controls address electrical and water supply, noise and vibration, fire safety, backup energy systems, setbacks, landscaping, screening, lighting and building design. These are proposed compliance burdens, not evidence of an anti-development policy or final law.
