Section E: Streetscapes and the Pedestrian Network personality of each district will be expressed through fixture type and location, and also through elements such as the incorporation of specialty logos or images on the lights,poles or pole bases. Streetscape lighting includes streetlights for roads and sidewalks,pedestrian lighting for sidewalks and walkways, building illumination as it effects the streetscape, and accent lighting on special architectural and landscaping features. Dark Sky Requirement-Fixtures for the streetscape will be selected to minimize light pollution. A dark sky isrequiredto be maintained for nearby residents and residents of the Waterfront Place Central. Dark sky criteria must be adhered to as much as possible. Lighting must be shielded from the night sky and adjacent residential properties through down casting,exterior shields,and/or fixture optics. Illumination Quality and Levels Light quality will have well balanced color produced by metal halide, halogen, LED, or incandescent bulbs. No high pressure sodium lights are allowed. Lighting should both enhance an area's character and quality,and also help ensure safety. In areas where lighting is needed for safety, foot-candle levels shall meetthelESNA recommended standards.These standards ensure that lighting levels function in a manner that provide safe and clear illumination to motorists and pedestrians. Placement-The placement of lighting fixtures should be discrete and unobtrus ive so as to eliminate physical clutter and avo id glare intoresidences and commercial offices. Placement oflighting fixtures should also be done to facilitate maintenance such as re- lamping. Maintenance andOperation-Lighting fixtures should bep laced and designed to minimize maintenance and operation costs. This includes maximizing lamp life through the use of motion detectors,photo-voltage switches and timer switches. Where possible, lighting may serve more than one illumination function. Lighting Types ExteriorLighting Street Lights -. Tall cobra head and box highway type light poles on the roadways are not allowed. • Commercial and Retail Roadway oriented fixtures illuminating the vehicular areas of roads should of kept 1 ow (under 14'high is recommended). • Residential Street lighting shall mount on lower poles that are no higher than second story residential window level) Pedestrian Lighting For safety, security, and for aesthetics, pedestrian lighting is an important aspect of the streetscape. Pedestrian lighting for sidewalks and walkways will be achieved with wall mounted lights, illuminating bollards, footpath lights, or pole mounted lighting. Where possible,use either recessed, wall mounted,or free standing bollard light fixtures that keep the light low to illuminate sidewalks and pathways. Inset stairway and stair step lights are required on all stairs. • Pole mounted pedestrian lights, if used, should be kept under 10-' 12' in height with light focused downward and shielded from the night sky and from residences. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -45-
