REF# GUIDELINE NOTES
Lighting
General Guidelines
❑ 22 Light should be contained on the site and not spill over onto adjacent B V`
_properties or streets;
❑ 23 Light should be shielded, recessed or flush-mounted to eliminate glare. PIZV . GO A CV
All fixtures with lamps emitting 3000 lumens or more must be full cutoff
fixtures.
❑ 24 Light levels exceeding 30 footcandles are not appropriate for display lots
in the Entrance Corridors. Lower light levels will apply to most other
uses in the Entrance Corridors.
❑ 25 Light should have the appearance of white light with a warm soft glow;
however, a consistent appearance throughout a site or development is %1 w
required. Consequently, if existing lamps that emit non-white light are to b e .44
remain, new lamps may be required to match them.
❑ 26 Dark brown, dark bronze,or black are appropriate colors for free-standing y� f�
pole mounted light fixtures in the Entrance Corridors. ' 0 �✓`'
❑ 27 The height and scale of freestanding, pole-mounted light fixtures should
be compatible with the height and scale of the buildings and the sites J
they are illuminating, and with the use of the site. Typically, the height
of freestanding pole-mounted light fixtures in the Entrance Corridors
should not exceed 20 feet, including the base. Fixtures that exceed 20
feet in height will typically require additional screening to achieve an
appropriate appearance from the Entrance Corridor.
❑ 28 In determining the appropriateness of lighting fixtures for the Entrance /
Corridors,the individual context of the site will be taken into
consideration on a case by case basis.
❑ 29 The following note should be included on the lighting plan: "Each
outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial
lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded 61'1 CZ
to reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from
adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public

roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not
exceed one half footcandle."
Guidelines for the Use of Decorative Landscape Lighting
❑ 30 light used for decorative effect shall:
a. be compatible with the character of the Entrance Corridor. Compatibility
of exterior lighting and lighting fixtures is assessed in terms of design, use,
size, scale, color,and brightness. I�I
b. impact only the immediate site. The effect of the illumination should not
be discernible from distances along the Entrance Corridor.
❑ 31 Where used for decorative effect, outdoor light fixtures shall:
a. be equipped with automatic timing devices and shall be extinguished
between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and dawn.
b. be shielded and focused to eliminate glare. Glare control shall be
t / achieved primarily through the use of such means as cutoff fixtures, shields
and baffles, and appropriate application of mounting height,wattage,
aiming angle, fixture placement, etc.
c. be cutoff luminaires,aimed so as not to project their output beyond the
objects intended to be illuminated; or non-cutoff luminaires,equipped with
glare shields,visors,barn doors,and/or other similar shielding accessories
as required to meet the following criteria: Light distribution from all
lighting installations shall be cut-off at all angles beyond those required to
restrict direct illumination to within the perimeter of the landscape feature
being illuminated.
d.never exceed 3,000 lumens.Further restrictions on lumens may be
imposed by the ARB.
e. not be modified to reflect seasonal colors.
f. be of a number that is compatible with the scale of the object and the
development to be illuminated, such that the light emitted will not over-
illuminate or overpower the site,as determined by the ARB.
