RE: ARB2021-89: Rio Hill Final
I have reviewed the plans with the revision date of June 28, 2021 submitted for the Rio Hill Redevelopment. The changes
made in these plans do not address all the conditions of approval outlined at the ARB meeting held on February 1, 2021.
The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Guidelines (note the
number below refer to original conditions from the action letter dated February 2, 2021):
4. Provide a lighting plan for review. Over -illumination of the building is not appropriate.
a. Two F1 fixtures (F1-A, F1-B) are noted on the site plan amendment but only one is noted on the architectural
drawings. Revise the architectural drawings to note both fixtures.
The F-2 fixtures have been noted on the architectural drawings but no cutsheet information on the fixtures is
included in the site plan amendment. Revise the site plan to provide cutsheet information and the photometric
plan to include the fc values at the ground for these fixtures. Also clarify (with illustrations and/or notes) how
the fixtures are attached and where the light is aimed.
Four different F3 fixtures have been noted on the architectural drawings s (F3-A, F3-B, F3-C, F3-D) but site plan
cutsheet information has been provided for only 2 fixtures. Additionally, the total lumens for the F3-A fixtures
have not been provided. Revise the site plan to provide cutsheet information for the F3-C and F3-D fixtures,
and include the total lumens for all the fixtures.
Three different F4 fixtures have been noted on the architectural drawings (F7-A, F7-B, F7-C) but site plan
cutsheet information has been provided for only 1 fixture. Revise the site plan to provide cutsheet information
for the F7-B and F7-C fixtures, and include the total lumens for all the fixtures.
Three different F5 fixtures have been noted on the architectural drawings (F5-A, F5-B, F5-C) but site plan
cutsheet information has been provided for only 2 fixtures. Additionally, the total lumens for these fixtures have
not been provided, and the fixtures near Burlington (F5-C) and TJ Maxx and Sierra (F5) noted as 'Greenwall'
uplights do not appear to coordinate with the green screens in these locations. Revise the site plan to provide
cutsheet information for the F5-B fixtures, include the total lumens for the fixture, and coordinate the locations
of the "Greenwall" uplights.
Three different F6 fixtures have been noted on the architectural drawings (F6-A, F6-B) but site plan cutsheet
information has been provided for only 1 fixture. Revise the site plan to provide cutsheet information for the
F6-B fixture, and include the total lumens for the fixture.
Two different F7 fixtures are (F7-A, F7-B) noted on the site plan but only one is noted on the architectural
drawings. Revise the architectural drawings to note both fixtures.

b. The lighting plan proposes up -lights and building illumination greater than what has historically been approved
for most EC buildings. Additional information on the intensity of illumination on the building is required. Revise
the plan to show in footcandles the intensity of the illumination on the building elevations. Confirm that all
uplights are aimed at the building and will not project light beyond the building elevations.
Regarding the architectural drawings, on page 10 (page 19 on the for print version) the southwest elevations note M-2 and
MP-3 metal panel materials but there are no corresponding materials listed on the material key on page 14 (page 26 on the
for print version). Please double-check notes for consistency with the materials schedule. If notes are accurate confirm that
material samples have been provided or provide samples for the proposed materials.
Sincerely,
Khris Taggart, Planner
