Section E: Streetscapes and the Pedestrian Network Accessories may include banner arms and baskets. The height of pole mounted lights is limited to prevent glare and the impacts on views. • Bollard lights may occur at wide pedestrian ways adjacent to roadways and parking for pedestrian safety, way finding, and ornamentation. Bollard lights serving as pedestrian crossing control functions may be connected by chains. • Other pedestrian illumination may include wall mounted fixtures on buildings bordering sidewalks. These could double to illuminate flower beds/ planters as well. Column lights may be used as a distinctive way finding element. Parking Entry Lighting- Lighting for parking entries and exits must ensure areas of potential conflict between pedestrian and vehicles are well lit for safety. On exterior parking lots and entries, these fixtures should be pole mounted lights matching the streetscape lights of that district. For parking garage entries, supplemental light may be integrated nearby into structures. Parking Lighting-Lighting for all parking lots should be done low level lights,or with fixtures to match the surrounding pedestrian lights. Pole mounted lights, if used should be kept low (under a 14' maximum height pole with mounted fixture). Lighting levels must meet local requirements, dark sky requirements, and IESNA standards. Accent Lighting—Accent lighting will be used to emphasize special features such as fountains, sculpture, planters, or trees for decorative effects. Fixtures shall be inconspicuous and durable. Accent lights along walkways should be recessed in walls or steps for pedestrian safety and way finding. Small scale accent lights can serve for way finding or be used themselves as special design elements. Accent lights may also serve multi-purposes where possible. They may also be used for illumination of public signage. Building Mounted Illumination-Building mounted lights may be used to light building entries, walkways,terraces, and plazas in appropriate areas. Building lighting shall be designed to cast downward and be shielded to minimize glare. Because building lights may be turned off, building lighting shall not be depended on exclusively for illuminating walkways. On pedestrian oriented streets, spillover light from retail and restaurants windows enhance the streetscape. These areas are required to cast light from windows 10' from the building on weekend evenings. Lighting from buildings must be balanced with street lighting to ensure areas are not over lit. Special Event Lighting- Lighting used for special events may include decorative lighting for holidays or festivals lighting. Special Event Lighting shall meet all safety requirements for public gatherings and must be designed to be easily managed for both event and non-event times. Seasonal decorative lighting during holidays and special events should be planned for by providing access to safe exterior electrical power sources. Decorative Lighting— Neon, running lights, and other types of colored or decorative lighting should be focused in the retail areas of the streetscape. It may also be appropriate for signage or decor in buildings or as part of an art installation. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -46-
