Section F: Public Realm Illumination Design Intent- the Esplanade exterior illumination will provide light for the Esplanade, pedestrian and vehicular access areas, plaza spaces, the marina facilities, associated public amenities, and for accent lighting on special architectural and landscape features. Design will be special to the Waterfront Place Central concept and character reflecting this unique urban maritime waterfront environment. Fixture types should convey an image that ties to the nautical theme. The image and personality of the entire Esplanade theme should be expressed not only through fixture type and location, but also through elements such as the incorporation of specialty logos or images on the lights,poles, or pole bases. Dark Sky Requirement – Fixtures along the Esplanade will be selected that minimize light pollution. Per the 0 ,. development agreement, a dark sky is Y i ■ required to be maintained for nearby . residents. This will also be beneficial WI ,'Is I , -; ` for residents living upland of the " ` f Esplanade and marinas. Illumination must adhere to dark sky criteria as established by the City of Everett and — per industry standards. 4 Illumination Quality and Levels – Light quality and level of brightness are very important along the Esplanade. Well balanced color is required such as that produced by metal halide, halogen or incandescent bulbs. Due to the undesirable color, no high pressure sodium lights are allowed. Foot-candle levels shall meet the IESNA recommended standards for the specific uses along the Esplanade. These standards ensure that lighting levels function in a manner that provides safe and clear illumination to motorists and pedestrians, and that the entire development is properly lit to ensure a safe and secure neighborhood. Lighting should not, however, bleed or overlap to create unnecessary brightness or glare. Low, shielded fixtures are preferred on the Esplanade. Placement – The placement of lighting fixtures should be discrete and unobtrusive so as to eliminate physical clutter and avoid glare into residences and commercial offices. Placement of lighting fixtures should also be done to facilitate maintenance such as changing lamps. Maintenance and_Operation – Lighting fixtures should be placed and designed to minimize maintenance and operation costs. This includes maximizing lamp life through the use of motion detectors and photo-voltage and timer switches. Where possible, lighting may serve more than one illumination function. Materials – Exterior lighting will be constructed of materials durable for the marine climate. Fixtures should have vandalism protection where possible. This includes stainless steel, heavy gauge aluminum, and metals with a powder coat finish. Finishes–Finishes will be durable and low maintenance. Finishes shall be stainless or powder coated. Colors–For exterior light fixtures that are not stainless, finishes should be black or consistent with District theme. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -73-
